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
Mo Xuetong did not expect that she would have to return home so quickly. The next morning, the Mo Manor sent news for her to return home, saying that they have a visitor. They did not state who had visited and only said vaguely that it was an elder. She was not too sure either and it confused her. Since an elder was visiting the Mo family, Old Madam Xu could not keep her any longer. She could only hold on to Mo Xuetong's hand, reluctant for her to leave as she told her to visit often in the future. When she returned to her courtyard, there were a few maids arranging things. She only had a wicker case when she came, but had many things when she returned. She now had five or six wicker cases. Mo Xuetong ordered Mo Lan to keep everything and told Mo Lan to bid Xu Yan goodbye. She had returned the favor to Xu Yan in Mo Huawen's name, gifting her a few bolts of quality fabric. She was polite and said that it was because Xu Yan had gifted her with
Even though she felt suspicious, she tried to push down the suspicion she felt when she saw Luo Bin smiling at her. She took the letter, kept it and smiled in agreement. Even though she was filled with suspicion, she pushed down the suspicions she felt when she saw Luo Bin smiling at her. She received the envelope and kept it, nodding in agreement. There were two large carriages from the Mo Manor that came to pick Mo Xuetong up. Mo Xuetong and Mo He got on the first carriage. Nanny Li sat in the carriage at the back together with the suitcases and knickknacks. Mo Xuetong liked Nanny Li a lot. She asked Nanny Li to teach her. Nanny Li got along well with Mo Xuetong and agreed to go with her. As such, she packed up her luggage as well and followed Mo Xuetong to the Mo Manor. Old Madam Xu asked Mo Lan to stay. The old madam said that there were still some chores left to do and that the Luo Manor would send her back in a carriage o
However, no one thought that the coldness had come from Bai Yihao. They only felt that his status was noble and beyond them. The distance between them was too big and they should not even lust after him. Everyone felt humbled before him and did not dare to look up at his handsome appearance. Mo Xuetong was slightly stunned. She looked up to look at the wooden plaque in front of the manor proclaiming it to be "Mo Manor" and thought that she had gone to the wrong place. He seemed even more familiar with the place than her. She had thought that since he was at her doorstep, she should play her part as the host and invite him in. However, she did not expect that the guards at the door did not even care about her, the third miss of the family. Instead, they all surrounded him. Those who did not know would probably think that he was the master of the house. That was so odd! "Miss, Sir Bai went in. We should go in too." Mo He's gaze followed after
It was midnight when Feng Yuran came back from the palace that night. Under the light, Mo Xuetong's beautiful face looked pink, which he had been praying for for a long time. Although he was tired and dizzy, he felt relieved.Fortunately, Bai Yihao did not make a desperate bet. That day, he looked calm on the surface, but in fact, he was already sweating on his back.If Bai Yihao had threatened him with Tong'er's life...If, Bai Yihao was determined not to give up...If Bai Yihao wanted to get Tong'er even if he would destroy her...He would really don't know what to do!Fortunately, there were not so many "ifs". Fortunately, Bai Yihao let go in the end. Even though he had already known Bai Yihao's character, he was still very nervous and flustered at that time in that place. Caring too much disturbed the mind. In this life, Tong'er was his weakness, but it was the weakness that he was willing to have.
Looking at the confident Bai Yihao who had a smile in his eyes, Feng Yuran suddenly put on an enchanting smile. He squinted at him and asked, "Tong'er is smart. If she knew that it was your mother who poisoned her mother back then and the poison in Auntie Fang's hands was left by your mother, what would you do?"This was a fatal blow, and Bai Yihao hid it in his heart. He thought that no one would mention it!The smile froze on Bai Yihao's handsome face. For a moment, there was a hint of blood in the corner of his warm eye. He put away the smile on his lip corners and looked at Feng Yuran viciously. "You're really funny. How could that poison have something to do with my mother?"That was the topic he didn't dare to mention. He even felt guilty and his heart was even twisted."It's a strange poison, so it must have come from a strange place. There was no way for an ordinary concubine to get it. Even though Auntie Fang died in the r
Since Yan Kingdom had taken in some remainders of Ding General Manor, the country would definitely become the Qin Kingdom's enemy. Bai Yihao was the commander-in-chief of Yan Kingdom. On the surface, the only person in the Qin Kingdom who could suppress the troops of Ding General Manor was King Xuan, Feng Yuran. In the past, Fu General and King of Xian were on different sides of Ding General Manor. They seemed to be friendly on the surface, but in private, they held each other back.The war drew near. Feng Yuran bid farewell to Mo Xuetong and led the army to the border. It was winter, so it was a little cold. Mo Xuetong stood on a small mountain town outside the city gate and could not help crying with a handkerchief in her hand when she saw the purple general's robe disappear from her sight.Mo Xuetong felt sad and could not hold back her tears when she thought that he had to go to the battle field and could not sleep well. The war was urgent and he had to
Yan Empress heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing Lan Yanwen looking calm, she said politely, "That's right, that's right. I can't stay here any longer. I'll leave this to you." She was still the dignified Empress of the Yan Kingdom."Goodbye, Your Majesty!" Lan Yanwen lowered his head and bowed respectfully, which was no different from his usual attitude. Yan Empress waved her hand with satisfaction, took her people to get on the carriage at the back door and returned to the deep palace.Yan Empress left, surrounded by a large group of people. Lan Yanwen slowly raised his head, and his beautiful eyes were inexplicably deep in the flickering light. He stared at the back of Yan Empress and walked to Princess Royal's body that was lying on the ground, speechless for a moment.The night was very quiet, as if the sound of people's breathing could be heard!After a long time, Lan Yanwen ordered, "Somebody, take Princess Royal Mingzhu out! Alo
It was Yan Empress's voice!In the dark, Mo Xuetong didn't dare to move. She bit her lips and even held her breath, hiding in the rockery. Although it was secluded, Yan Empress came with so many people, and she might find her. If Mo Xuetong fell into her hands, it would be terrible!"Sister Yunruo?" Princess Royal helped Nanny Qin to stand firm under the light. Looking at Yan Empress, who was protected by a group of secret guards and eunuchs, she slowly restored calmness.There was no guard around her, and the only person beside her was Nanny Qin, who knew nothing about martial arts. She was sort of alone now.Mo Xuetong also saw Lan Yanwen hiding in the dark beside Yan Empress. "He came as well?"This small courtyard of the Lan family gathered all kinds of powerful personage unexpectedly. It was quite lively."Sister Mingzhu, it's not easy for you to remember me. Why don't you come to my palace to have a
Seeing that there was something wrong with his expression, the Yan Empress knew that Bai Yihao was still worried. She gave a sweet smile and wrapped her soft arms around Bai Yichen's neck. Her breath was fragrant and she smiled seductively in his ear, "Don't worry. He still thinks that I really want to send some people to the East Palace and have been focusing on investigating the women in the Beauty Gathering Palace. When we succeed in the harem, it will be too late for him to do anything.""The old man won't suspect us, will he?" Bai Yichen paused for a moment and was still a little worried."Don't worry. Even if he senses something is wrong, he can't tell his son. Most of the imperial physicians in the palace are our people. When the right time comes, whichever palace he will die in, it has nothing to do with us!" The Yan Empress smiled as her eyes raked over Bai Yichen's handsome face, and she looked even more charming.However, as the two
With a thud, the memorials to the throne on the table were slammed to the ground, and Emperor Zongwen's face had darkened."Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please take care of yourself." Regardless of the memorials to the throne that were scattered all over the ground, Liu Xi hurriedly turned around to support Emperor Zongwen, who was about to fall down with one hand covering his chest. His usually calm face was filled with anxiety and panic."B*tch, that b*tch, how dare she... deceive me!" Emperor Zongwen's face was purple. He reached out to cover his chest and said a few words with difficulty. As he opened her mouth, he spat a mouthful of blood. Liu Xi only had time to cover his mouth with a handkerchief before he immediately became dispirited and was helped to sit on the throne."Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. Even if you don't look out for yourself, you still have to consider His Highness," Liu Xi persuaded anxiously as he served E
In the dark night, the wind rushed backward and poured into Mo Xuetong's mouth and nose. Her eyes were blurred. Subconsciously, she stretched her arms behind her, held the comer's waist tightly and buried her head deeply in his arms. Then she let out a breath slowly, her nose full of the scent of a familiar man. As she breathed, his scent heavily enveloped her, which made her feel inexplicably relieved and softened.The man gave a little chuckle in her ear, and his warm breath fell on her earlobe, making her itch like a feather. "Tong'er, don't be afraid. It's me!"In the satisfied sigh, she felt that his grip on her body was getting tighter.His voice was mellow and leisurely, like the alcohol that had been brewed for many years and was filled with an intoxicating aura.There was less noise following him. He landed lightly on a horse in front of him. Then Mo Xuetong was turned around and landed steadily in his embrace.
Mo Xuetong did not use the Lan family's horse carriage. There was indeed a horse carriage sent from the Crown Prince's East Palace parked at the entrance. After they got on the horse carriage, Qing Zhu asked, "Miss, how did you know that the person is not the true head of the Lan family?" There was nothing different in air, deportment, or appearance between the man and the head of the Lan family."I am just an orphan daughter of the Lan family. Even if the Lan family values me, there is a limit. Even if I can enter the East Palace in the future and be favored by His Highness, it will still be a matter of the future. The Lan family does not lack beauties in their back courtyard. It is already a great honor for me to send Minister of Public Works to meet me. It is said that Minister of Public Works is the best husband in the hearts of the princesses," Mo Xuetong stated with a faint smile. She took the tea that Qing Zhu poured for her and took a sip before she leisurely re
