Semua Bab Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter: Bab 191 - Bab 200

On the eighth day of the new year, Mo Xuetong went to the banquet at General Fu’s. As a granddaughter of the family, her presence there was mandatory.In the morning, Mo Huawen had someone bring her new clothes with matching accessories. Mo Xuetong had seen these accessories before. They had once belonged to her mother. Though her mother dressed plainly, the accessories were all lavish and glamorous. Because of that, they’d only been used a few times and looked almost new.Recently, Mo Huawen kept giving her little things of her mother’s. He said they were tokens to remember hey by, but she knew he was actually making sure that if he married again, the new wife would not claim her mother’s dowry. He passed them on piece by piece. Her father had repeatedly implied that he was too tired to manage the stores left by her mother and wanted to pass them over to her. Mo Xuetong was moved by her father's behavior, by how much he cared for her. Now tha

"Don't speak. It's me!" Since the day she’d passed out in his arms, she remembered Feng Yuran’s voice like it had been written onto her brain. Hearing him, she instantly calmed down without any good reason."Stop biting me. It hurts a lot," he added.She relaxed her teeth. She was about to ask more when he held her tighter, lifting her a bit.She began to hear other people, footsteps so light she’d have missed them if she wasn’t listening. Past Feng Yuran, she could just see a man in black with a long, shining sword. It was stained with blood.Mo Xuetong didn't dare to breath. Their position was high enough that Feng Yuran had to be hanging on to the rockery, holding her up with him.Another man in black walked wielding his own sword. "How did it go? Did you find him?”“There is no one,” said the first man. “Strange. I was sure I’d heard something”He

Mo Xuetong did not know what happened. She’d met Xu Yan and the two had started chatting. After a few days of getting to know each other, Mo Xuetong found herself very satisfied with this aunt of hers. While Xu Yan looked gentle and fragile on the surface, she was very opinionated. Otherwise, she would not have delayed her marriage until now and be so picky about her husband. That was for the best. Xu Yan's would not give Auntie Fang and Lan Xinru a second chance. If Xu Yan had been a weak-willed noble lady, she would be no match for them. Auntie Fang had Mo Xuemin pulling strings for her, backing Xuemin in turn. Lan Xinru had Old Madam behind her.Xu Yan's personality was a good match for her father’s too. Even though Mo Huawen doted on her now, she still noticed where he was lacking. He certainly wasn’t good at managing the inner courtyard. The social structure of the inner courtyard was almost nonextant.The gossip was starti

"Elder Sister Ling, we asked you to talk about what the imperial consorts in the palace wear. Why are you talking about this instead?" Chen Ya'er flushed red. They were all unmarried young ladies. It really was a rather inappropriate topic.Ling Rui'er, however, had already been embarrassed several times today. She felt that she had to flaunt everything she had right now to put Mo Xuetong back in her place."The imperial consorts have all been worrying about it for days. They are not only picking for His Majesty, they are picking for the princes as well,” she said with satisfaction. “My aunt has been so busy these past few days. She even told me to see if there is anyone suitable amongst my friends. I think everyone here is beautiful and has a high enough status. You are all good candidates. I shall tell my aunt tomorrow." Her statement made all the young ladies flush red. "Younger Sister Ling, you are confused. How could we pres

The death of a maid in the back courtyard of the Fu General Manor did not attract any attention at all. If Mo Xuetong had not seen it with her own eyes, she would not have had a second thought about the matter. The amazing flower, however, became a hot topic. Outside the manor, the excited chatter spread the rumor quickly.Only a day had passed, but the news had already spread far and wide. Old Madam Mo, who had been sick for a long while, finally felt better in time for the banquet tomorrow. Mo Xuetong woke up early to greet the old madam. She was greeted by joyful laughter when she reached the entrance of the courtyard. She could hear Mo Xueyan's voice. It was obvious that Mo Xueyan was the old madam's favorite granddaughter. "Old Madam, Third Miss is here to greet you," a maid reported. The old madam was cheerfully speaking with Mo Xueyan and Lan Xinru. When she heard that, her expression grew cold.
