"Old Sir, First Miss's clothes are too long and won't fit Young Miss. It seems like she can't wear it." Mo He was frightened because Mo Xuetong almost fell. She hurried up and helped Mo Xuetong steady herself. She squatted down at Mo Xuetong's feet and gestured at the hems, pulling out a large swath of cloth and said awkwardly.
Mo Huawen's smile disappeared when he saw that the clothes were obviously one size bigger. He pursed his thin lips.
"Don't worry. Eldest Sister means well and has already sent these clothes three or four times. If I don't accept it, she will get angry. Since I can't wear it now, I will wear it in the future when I can." Mo Xuetong seemed as if she did not feel anything and smiled. She flicked the sleeves and walked on her toes, spinning around. Then, she laughed and said, "Father, does Tong'er look good wearing Eldest Sister's clothes?"
The main daughter had to wear the daughter of a concubine, and looked so happy eve
"Father said that these clothes and cloth are not good. He will send someone to send new ones over." Mo Xuetong said with a gentle and likable smile. The servant holding the cloths at the door smiled wanly at the door. She could neither leave nor say. She wanted to slip away but was glared at by Mo Huawen coldly and did not dare move. She was secretly upset. She would not have come if Mo Xiu from First Miss's courtyard had not said that First Miss was ending gifts for Third Miss and that Third Miss would definitely be happy and tip her. How unlucky! She did not expect to make Third Miss upset and even anger Old Sir. The servant hated the little bi*ch Mo Xiu for sending her on this trip. She would definitely not take part in such matters again. "Are the clothes not good? They look beautiful!" Xu Yan did not know what happened and only felt that it was awkward for her to sit there. Her face was flushed and her heart beat wildly. She did not da
The first thing Mo Huawen did when he returned to the Mo Manor was to visit Mo Xuemin's Fuqing Garden angrily. He got the two servants to throw the clothes and cloth in their arms onto the table the moment he entered. He harrumphed coldly at Mo Xuemin who was seated at a corner doing embroidery. Then, he raised his robes and sat down. "Father, why have you come to visit Min'er today? You came at just the right time. I made you a robe." Mo Xuemin seemed as if she did not realize Mo Huawen's annoyance. She stood up gently and retrieved a grey long cotton robe from the couch beside her. The robe was folded neatly, and it looked as if she had put a lot of effort into it." Father, put this against yourself and see if the length and size are right. I'm afraid I didn't do it well, and you won't like it." Mo Huawen was furious. He pushed the robe away and pointed at the clothes on the table and said angrily, "Do you like it when you give your younger sister your
The reason why Yu Feng was here was simple. His younger sister had gone to him, crying. He was very angry but was trying not to show it. He asked, "Lord Mo, Feng'er is already so old. How can he represent the household with his status? He can't even have a good marriage. He is your only son. Do you intend to let him carry the name as the concubine's son forever?" It was indeed hard for Mo Yufeng to marry a noble young lady with his status as the concubine's son. Even though he was the only son of the family, Mo Huawen was still young. If he married another woman, she might bear him a son. That would become his main son, and he would one day represent the family. If that happened, who would care about a concubine's son? So what if he was the elder son! This was what the Yu family was most worried about. If Auntie Fang wanted to be acknowledged in her own family, she could not do so as a concubine. The Yu family would not allow a main daughter
Mo Xuetong did not know about what happened at the Yu's. Mo Huawen had not visited the next day, but Luo Mingzhu did. When she heard that Mo Xuetong was interested in going shopping, she was even more enthusiastic about it than Mo Xuetong. She said that she was familiar with the city and was familiar with various shops selling fabric and that she would accompany Mo Xuetong. Mo Xuetong had not wanted to go, and it was not as if she had to go. However, she was about to return home soon. She thought of how Old Madam Xu had taken care of her and wanted to embroider a warm headscarf for her. She did not have any suitable materials. As such, she decided to go shopping with Luo Mingzhu. Luo Mingzhu was more excited than Mo Xuetong on the carriage. She secretly peeked out from a corner of the window and would occasionally point out at the odd things on the streets and chatted with Mo Xuetong. Nanny Han, who accompanied Luo Mingzhu, was very sweet. S
"Can I ruin their reputations?" Ling Mingyan was pleased when she heard the nanny's casual tone. She thought about it and took two steps forward to whisper in the nanny's ears. "Yes, but you have to listen to me." The teaching nanny said. There were so many such incidents in the palace. How could she not know about these since she served the Empress closely? The Empress had arranged for her to be with Ling Mingyan not just to watch her. Ling Mingyan was, after all, the First Miss of the Ding General Manor. If she were bullied, it would be an embarrassment to the Ding General Manor and the Empress. "Alright!" Ling Mingyan answered quickly. She looked at the two viciously and said hatefully, "Nanny, I want to ruin their reputations. I want to see if they still dare to be so arrogant in front of me in the future." "Alright, but First Miss, you have to remember to keep your temper in check and be patient." The teaching nanny gestured to the othe
"Don't go, that's Third Miss Mo." Yun Yiqiu grabbed the maid's hand and said weakly, coughing twice. She avoided the glances that others gave her and held on to the maid. The maid did not know, but she did. Her aunt had once told her that her cousin wanted to marry Third Miss Mo. Her aunt said that the only way to reestablish the Duke's Manor was for her cousin to marry the young lady. As such, she could not ruin her cousin's plans now. "But, Miss, you are the one His Excellency loves!" The maid stomped her feet, feeling aggrieved on her behalf. Her mistress has been staying in the manor since she was 10 and had grown up with His Excellency. They got along very well and His Excellency would help her mistress find anything that she desires. If her mistress was unhappy, His Excellency would accompany her. Everyone in the manor knew how His Excellency felt about her mistress. They knew that Yun Yiqiu would one day belong to His Excellency and t
The clothes from Clothes Pavilion was unlike clothes from anywhere else. They were not only beautiful but were also bespoke. The clothes would be altered slightly according to a person's unique traits. These tiny alterations made every piece of clothing unique and every woman who wore the dress would have their own unique style. This was why the ladies and wives of the capital were so enthusiastic and loyal to the Clothes Pavilion. Many places could make beautiful clothes but only the Clothes Pavilion could make bespoke and unique pieces. How could all these women who were image-conscious not flock to it? Mo Xuetong teased Luo Mingzhu when she saw how happy she was. "Cousin, go and get measured for your clothes first. I will come out to take a look later. This plum blossom is pretty indeed, but we can't take their flower with us just because we visited. If others do this as well, the shop won't have enough flowers even if they have a plum tree!"
This person was so hateful! Mo Xuetong rushed out of the door heatedly. She discovered that there was not a single person outside. Mo He wasn't here? She thought about it and realized that if Mo He were present, how could he have gotten close to her without her knowing. She fumed, lifted her skirts and walked past two doors. Just as she turned to avoid the door, she felt as if someone was staring at her. She felt really uneasy. Fortunately, she had only taken a few steps forward when she bumped into Mo He who was hurrying back. Mo He said that she tripped when she went to get water. She had spilled the water and gotten her clothes wet. A maid at the Clothes Pavilion had gotten her a change of clothes. This was such a coincidence. Mo Xuetong fumed silently. However, she pretended not to mind. She did not want anyone to find out about her and Feng Yuran speaking in the booth. Luo Mingzhu had returned as well, pulling on Mo Xuetong asking her to go try on so
