Chapter 38 The Plot Behind the Banquet (2/2)

”Flower appreciation banquet?” Mo He thought about it and shook her head in a loss. She frowned and could not remember. Even though she went out for news occasionally, no one mentioned anything about the flower appreciation banquet. She did not know which family was hosting it and why her mistress cared so much about it.

Mo Xuetong clutched the letter in her hands, her eyes frigid.

Only children from the main branch of officials fifth grade and above were invited to the flower appreciation banquet in the palace. The children in each manor would all receive an invitation. In her past life, she had been disfigured shortly after returning to the capital. She had worn a veil and attended the banquet. However, that was the beginning of her shame.

What happened at the banquet flitted through her mind as if it were a dream. She could still remember clearly the details. She covered her head helplessly and in fear in the pandemonium. Everyone pointed at and talked about her. Even though Mo Lan was holding her arm, she could not stop the sword that was other's tongues. She had been terribly hurt that time and her pride had been completely destroyed. She became fearful from then on and did not dare to appear before others.

That cup of water had been poured onto her veil. Mo Xuemin hurried to help her wipe it and had pulled it off in her hurry. The laughter of the crowd was like the scent of rotting meat, making one want to vomit.

Now that she thought about it, it had Mo Xuemin's work written all over it.

However, Mo Xuetong wanted to know the most was how did she enter the palace? There was only one daughter from the main branch in the Mo Manor. The palace would not send two invites. So how did she get in? Even if Mo Xuetong had wanted her to accompany her, the guards at the palace gates would not allow her to enter! A thought flashed through her mind quickly, but she could not grasp it.

Mo Xuemin had been the one to bring her the invite in her past life. She had told Mo Xuetong warmly that the flower appreciation banquet was for highly regarded officials and she had to attend. Mo Xuetong had been disfigured and was in no mood to attend, but Mo Xuemin had told her gently that she would enter the palace with her to help her. They would just be there for a while and nothing would happen.

After that, her spirit had been completely destroyed by the incident.

Accident, how could it be an accident... If she still thought that that was an accident, the two lives that she now had lived would be considered a waste!

Mo Xuetong stood up and walked up to the window slowly. She pushed it open and looked at the sky outside. The weather had gotten better. It had rained for several days and even the skies looked clearer and cleaner. However, she could not see the clarity of the human heart and only felt stuffy.

”Mo He, send someone to ask Auntie Mo how the tailoring of my clothing for the flower appreciation banquet is going.” Mo Xuetong said gently as she looked down with a faint smile on her lips. Her facial expression calmed down and she walked to the couch and sat down.

In her past life, Mo Xuemin had sent the invite personally because she had been disfigured. She had not received any news in this life. Did Mo Xuemin take her invite?

”Miss, when did you ask Auntie Mo to make you clothing?” Mo He asked in surprise. She had never heard her mistress mentioning it.

”Miss, let me go. I am looking for Auntie Mo to get some needle and thread. We don't have any more color threads and you would need more silk threads for embroidery.” Mo Lan lifted the curtains and entered. She smiled and gestured for Mo He to leave with her. Mo He followed obediently.

Mo Xuetong was left inside the room. She sat there quietly and looked at the letter on the table with a cold smile on her lips. She was the daughter of the main branch of the family, and yet, Mo Xuemin had dared to take her invite. She must definitely have backing. The flower appreciation banquet was tomorrow. If Mo Xuemin wanted to attend it, she would definitely have had new clothing made.

In her past life, Mo Xuemin would always secretly get people to make the most luxurious and novel clothing whenever she attended a grand banquet. There were many times Mo Xuemin's maid, Mo Jin, would come to ask her for accessories her mother left behind to match her clothing. Of course, she never did return any of the accessories.

The two were now considered enemies in this life. Mo Xuemin would naturally not do something like this that would ruin her reputation. However, her desire for beautiful clothing would not fade. The clothes were definitely in the hands of the seamstress being carefully sewn. Auntie Fang was in charge of the household matters some time ago and only a few of her confidant knew of this.

Things were different now. Auntie Mo was now in charge of clothing and accessories. These things could not be hidden. Mo Xuemin would definitely not think that Auntie Fang would fall so quickly.

Now that she was asking for her clothing for the flower appreciation banquet from Auntie Mo, Auntie Mo would definitely not be able to retrieve it. She had not been managing the household's wardrobe for long and would not dare to take such responsibility. As such, she would definitely tell Father. When the matter blows up, Mo Xuemin would not be able to go to the flower appreciation banquet secretly.

So what if Auntie Fang was capable in the past? Her close servants had been removed from her. They were either beaten to death or were disabled, otherwise, they had been sold. Who would dare to go against her father's orders? Furthermore, she was now shut in Lihua Garden. She would definitely think of some other way out because of the incidents that had happened in the past.

If she dared to interfere, Father would only hate her more. Auntie Fang would definitely admit defeat if Mo Xuemin was around!

In her past life, Auntie Fang had gained her father's trust by tricking him over and over again!

She knew how to pretend to be weak as well!
