Chapter 31 Shifting the Blame to Auntie (2/2)

Behind her, Mo Xuemin's hands which were hidden under her sleeves balled up tightly. She could only remain calm as she hurt herself and not go up to hit Mo Xuetong.

She could not let this matter implicate herself. If her father finds out that she had plotted against Mo Xuetong, all her years of efforts would be in vain. She could not lose. She definitely must not lose.

The Ming Kingdom's Duke Manor would not want to welcome a woman whose reputation was in shreds. As such, Auntie Fang had to take the blame for this.

She comforted herself. Once she had the chance to marry into the Ming Kingdom's Duke family, and marry You Yuecheng, Auntie Fang could get all the riches she desired. She would make up to her in the future. Her fists relaxed slightly as she thought of that. It was not that she did not want to save her mother. She trusted that Auntie Fang would be able to settle the matter.

She had underestimated Mo Xuetong. She had not expected her to be so sly! She was more vicious than she imagined. She had implicated Auntie Fang and Mo Xuemin could not even say anything.

”First Miss, shall we go to Lihua Garden?” Mo Jin took a few steps up to Mo Xuemin and asked cautiously.

”Return to Fuqing Garden.” Mo Xuemin said coldly. She wrung the handkerchief in her hands and stomped off. How could she go to Lihua Garden now to inform Auntie Fang who did not know anything? Her father would go to Lihua Garden immediately.

She could not go. If Mo Huawen got angry at Auntie Fang, should she plead on her behalf or not!

If she did not, others would say that she was an unfeeling daughter who was vicious and uncaring. She would abandon her own mother. Everyone would look down on her. If she pleaded for her mother, how would her father see her? Would she still be able to retain her gracious and poised image? The entire matter was plotted by that little s.l.u.t Mo Xuetong. She would fall in her plot no matter what she did.

What was even more annoying was that she could not do anything even though she knew about it. This was something Mo Xuemin had never dealt with. She could not explain anything and everything she did would be wrong.

If she did not bear this small matter, she would spoil the bigger plan. She must not ruin her future because she could not hold her anger at this moment.

Doing nothing now would be doing something!

They returned to their own courtyards while Mo Huawen brought people with him as he charged into Auntie Fang's Lihua Garden angrily.

n.o.body from Lihua Garden spoke about what happened that night.

What was made known was that there were sounds of porcelain shattering not long after Mo Huawen entered. And not long later, the crying and screaming were heard. Then, Old Sir left Lihua Garden without even looking back. Everyone knew that he was furious. He had never been so angry since Auntie Fang entered the manor.

The servants were all fearful!

In the days that followed, even though Auntie Fang was still in charge of the matters of the inner courtyard, they heard that she was seriously ill and did not leave her courtyard at all. Most of the matters were directed by Nanny Li. Everyone was fearful as they entered and left Lihua Garden. The courtyard was permeated with the smell of medicine. Mo Huawen had never once visited and only went to Auntie Qing and Auntie Mo's.

Mo Xuetong spent the few days comfortably. Her health had recovered very well for some reason. In the past, if she had been soaked in cold water, she would have been sick for more than a month. However, she had recovered in a few days. Even though she could not compare her healing rate to Mo He and the others, she was fine and only needed to recuperate for a while.

The weather was good and the sun was bright. Mother Xu brought Mo Lan, Mo He and a few older and younger maids to clean Mo Xuetong's room from inside out. She especially asked Mo Yu to accompany Mo Xuetong to stay under the tree in the yard to get some sun. They would officially enter winter in the next few days and it would be inconvenient to clean too much then.

Mo Xuetong laid against the back of the chair lazily. She was focused on reading her book.

It was a medical book she found in her mother's possession. In her past life, she had been poisoned and could not get pregnant. She was forced to allow Sima Lingyun to marry his cousin. Then, even when she had gotten pregnant, she had not been able to keep the child. She only began to secretly study medical books after she had Yu'er. Mother Xu and the others were very careful with what she ate and she managed to keep Yu'er. However, Mo Xuetong had given her poisoned wine and her child had died of unnatural causes.

Even though she did not die because of the poisoned wine Mo Xuemin and Sima Lingyun gave her, she did not have the strength to flee either. She burned down the wedding hall in revenge for herself and Yu'er...

She swore when she started this life over again that she would not allow anyone to poison her again in this life!

”Miss, look at this!” Mo Lan hurried out from the room. She took out something carefully from her chest and placed it in Mo Xuetong's hand. She said softly, ”I found this in the luggage. It is definitely not ours.”

It was a seal. It was a small seal!

It was Sima Lingyun's Son of the Duke's Manor's seal!

Mo Xuetong's eyes turned cold. She recognized the seal, of course. It was an object Sima Lingyun brought with him everywhere he went. Even in her past life, he had only allowed her to look at it but had never gifted it to her. And when she died, she found it hanging on Mo Xuemin's neck.

Her mind whirled and she thought things through carefully. She immediately understood that this was what Shuang Ye had brought to her room from Sima Lingyun as evidence that she was in a relations.h.i.+p with Sima Lingyun.

Her heart chilled and she quickly came up with a plan. Since fingers had already been pointed, she might as well set fire to the mess so that the fire would burn even stronger!
