Chapter 29 The Falsely Solicitious Elder Sister Falls for the Plot (2) (2/2)
Brother He and Brother Ling were fl.u.s.tered at that. They glanced at each other and did not dare to insist that the pouch belonged to Mo Xuemin. They had stolen it and if the matter was investigated, they would not be able to bear the consequences. The thief's mouth was hard to shut.
The two of them glanced at each other and immediately stopped pursuing the incident. Their att.i.tudes softened.
”Oh, that might be true.” Brother He said in an odd tone.
”Miss Mo, since it is something your maid did, then you should discipline her well in the future. Don't let her come out and flirt. Those who don't know will think that it is you...” Brother Ling waved his hand and sn.i.g.g.e.red. The pouch flew out and landed on the floor. Mo Jin hurried to pick it up.
His words were very disrespectful and Mo Xuemin was so angry that she trembled in rage.
Shuang Ye was anxious when she saw that everyone had gone. She thought of how First Miss had always been a vicious person in private and knelt down forcefully. She called out anxiously, ”Miss...”
”Shut up. I'll deal with you when we go back.” Mo Xuemin's face was pale as if she had survived a great disaster. Her clothes were soaked in sweat. She yelled sharply when she saw that Shuang Ye was about to say something else. Then, she turned around, squared her back, and left the courtyard with Mo Jin. She must not show any signs of guilt right now.
Shuang Ye must be defending herself right now, so how could she allow her to finish speaking. She would not be responsible for this mess.
The furore had created a huge ruckus and someone was already at the door.
When she saw the sharp and furious expression on Mo Xuemin's beautiful face, Shuang Ye did not dare to say anything else. She stood up and followed behind Mo Xuemin fearfully and left the courtyard.
When they returned to their courtyard, Mo Xuetong was standing at the corridor. She said with a gentle and concerned smile, ”Eldest Sister, what happened?”
”Nothing. I'm going home now.” Mo Xuemin gritted her teeth. She wanted to tear the smile off Mo Xuetong's face. The smile seemed to be mocking her failure. She could not stay any longer. She felt that Mo Xuetong was behind all of this!
”Then let's go back together. Mo Lan, quick go and pack up.” Mo Xuetong turned to say.
”Yes, Miss.” I thought that the manor would send someone to pick you up. So Mo Yu and I have already packed up.” Mo Lan replied.
”Eldest Sister, then let's go.” Mo Xuetong said, holding on to Mo Ye's hand. Her face was pale. Mo Yu was holding Mo Xuetong's other hand so she could stand steadily.
Mo Xuemin was not in the mood to fight Mo Xuetong. She turned to leave with Mo Jin. Shuang Ye followed behind. She looked left and right and did not know who to follow. She suddenly saw Mo Xuetong's cold glance and shuddered. She immediately went to follow Mo Xuemin.
It was already late when they returned to the Mo Manor. Mo Xuemin did not bid Mo Xuetong goodbye and just left the carriage with Mo Jin. The handkerchief in her hands was almost torn by her wringing. She had to think clearly whose ploy she had fallen for today. Shuang Ye followed her but was kicked viciously. She hit the door heavily and cried out in pain but did not dare to follow.
A few maids helped Mo Xuetong struggle back to Qingwei Garden. Mother Xu welcomed her at the door. There was a fuss before they helped Mo Xuetong lie down. Mother Xu brought her ginseng tea which she took a few sips of before she finally regained some strength.
”Miss is so ill, why did you all let her leave the mountain? How am I going to answer to Madam if anything happens?” Mother Xu looked at Mo Xuetong's pale face and rebuked Mo Lan and the others.
”Mother, something happened there and Miss had to leave the mountain.” Mo Yu went to guard at the door. Mo Lan pointed at Mo Xuemin's Fuqing Garden.
”First Miss?” Mother Xu paused and then lowered her voice. ”It has nothing to do with Miss, right?” She was only concerned with the safety of her mistress.
”Miss is fine, but she got a scare.” Mo Lan answered with a smile. She did not tell Mother Xu everything that happened. It was not that she did not trust Mother Xu. Her mistress had once said that Mother Xu was old and some things should not be told to her or she would worry for them.
”That's good then, that's good then. Buddha has watched over you all.” Mother Xu muttered and then got Mo Lan to take care of Mo Xuetong carefully. Then, Mo Yu and the others coaxed her back to sleep.
The doors of the room shut gently. Mo Lan remained to keep watch overnight. She adjusted the candle flame to be dimmer.
”Mo Lan, you should go to rest early. You didn't rest well last night.” Mo Xuetong opened her eyes slightly and said gently. Mo Lan must be the one who had fed her water last night.
”Miss, it's alright. I fell asleep for some reason last night. It was already daytime when I woke up.” Mo Lan thought that it was odd when she mentioned it. She had fallen asleep for no reason and it was lucky that her mistress was alright when she woke up. Otherwise, she would feel very guilty.
”Oh, don't tell Mother Xu anything.”
”I understand.”
Mo Lan lowered the candlelight and bit her lips. She could not resist but to turn around and ask, ”Miss, what was written on the paper? Why were the two men so certain that it was First Miss?”
The words on the sheet of paper? A cold smile appeared on Mo Xuetong's lips. Mo Xuemin would never imagine that it was the sheet of paper that had gotten her into trouble!
