Chapter 43 The Main Daughter is Indeed the Main Daughter (1/2)

The moment she said that, it immediately erased the suspicion that she was trying to frame her younger sister that Ling Mingyan had implied.

Those who were a little suspicious before could not help but praise Mo Xuemin for being gentle and gracious. She was an outstanding woman unlike Ling Mingyan who was arrogant, rude and spoke without thinking.

Many ignored what Ling Mingyan said about Mo Xuemin. With Ling Mingyan's reputation, people naturally believed in First Miss Mo who had always been polite and talented. Compared to the dumb, arrogant and rude Ling Mingyan, Mo Xuemin who was always gentle and smiling was much more well-liked.

”I heard that that third sister of yours is rude and arrogant. She knocked into someone the moment she got into the city gates. There are so many people at the city gates, but she didn't even care about them and rushed in. Is this the behavior a n.o.ble young woman should display?” Ling Mingyan had always had a good relations.h.i.+p with Mo Xuemin privately. She could not help but glare and speak to her angrily when Mo Xuemin reb.u.t.ted her.

She was the one who had said that earlier. Why did she suddenly change her tune!

Speeding on the horse and knocking down someone the moment she entered the city gates? If she dared she be so audacious just upon her arrival in the capital, how would she behave in the future? There were many who frowned and began to size up Mo Xuetong.

”Miss Ling, don't speak nonsense. What my sister did is not what you imagined...there are other things involved.” Mo Xuemin explained weakly. She looked a little guilty and her voice lowered subconsciously. It was obvious that she was guilty and found it hard to explain. Everyone would feel that she was feeling guilty on behalf of Mo Xuetong. could it be that something like that had really happened?

”Why other matters are involved? If she had not knocked down someone with her horse in arrogance, what are you feeling guilty about?” Ling Mingyan said loudly with satisfaction.

”Miss Ling, I don't mean that...” It sounded as if she was hiding something!

If Ling Mingyan was accusing Mo Xuetong, then Mo Xuemin was making the matter even worse.

Mo Xuemin indeed did not let go of any chance to smear her reputation.

There was a sharp glint in Mo Xuetong's eyes which disappeared in a flash. She looked up and looked at Mo Xuemin, looking as if she were wronged. ”It was obvious that someone was trying to frame me then. After that, those two people even ran away. After we returned home, Auntie also said that she did not send a carriage for me. You were there too, Eldest Sister, and you saw everything. Do you think that is not sufficient to prove my innocence?”

She was a beautiful girl, and her eyes were deep and filled with the unknown. She bit her lips and looked at Mo Xuemin, soft and weak. She did not seem to believe that her dear older sister would collude with an outsider to slander her. The paleness of her lips and face made her seem fragile and pitiful. She was so fragile it made others pity her.

You Yuecheng, who was standing on one side could not help but look at the beautiful and fragile little face. His eyes were dark and deep.

Mo Xuemin paused and looked at Mo Xuemin who looked like she had been terribly wronged. She was so angry she wanted to vomit blood. She had wanted to pretend to look pitiful but Mo Xuetong had done it first. If she did it, it would look very fake. Furthermore, the fragile sufferance that Mo Xuetong could portray with her deep eyes and innocent, beautiful face was something that she could not fake.

She looked at how everyone was looking at them. There were quite a few who believed Mo Xuetong.

She had to temper down on her jealousy and smiled. She explained, ”I'm sorry third sister. I came too late that day, so I couldn't explain clearly. But I believe that you will definitely not do something like that.”

She did not come to defend Mo Xuetong, and she must not defend her. The little s.l.u.t that was Mo Xuetong was going to get it! She's going to see how Mo Xuetong is going to explain the matter clearly!

”First Miss Mo understood what happened that day, how can you not explain clearly?” It was a lazy voice that came from behind the crowd. The crowd parted and a handsome face appeared. He had slanted eyes and long, pale fingers. His lips were ruby red and moist. He sat under an osmanthus tree, wearing luxurious purple robes embroidered with dragons. He looked n.o.ble and wild.

Such beauty and such charisma, coupled with his gentle and emotion-filled eyes made everyone he looked at blush and their heart beat faster. They felt that they had fallen for him and would not mind even if the world ended then and there.

It was him? Mo Xuetong's eyes narrowed and her breath hitched. Her throat felt dry.

”His Highness, King Xuan, arrives.” A eunuch said loudly. Everyone bowed.

Mo Xuetong followed the crowd and bowed. However, she could not hide the shock and fear in her eyes. She finally recalled who he was. He was King Xuan, Feng Yuran. He was the eighth prince and was crowned a king not long after he was born. He was weak and sickly as a child and was born to a concubine of Emperor Zongwen who had died early. He was young and could not accept the death of his mother and had almost died.

He was later saved by an erudite and later followed him into the mountains to practice cultivation. He only returned when he was 16! He was doted on by Emperor Zongwen and was a ladies' man. He had all kinds of beauty in his courtyard. Unlike the other two princes, he spent most of his time on women.

However, what truly shocked and frightened Mo Xuetong was what King Xuan had done afterwards. It was something that had shocked the world. He killed all his maternal family in front of Emperor Zongwen. Blood had flowed through the great hall. Emperor Zongwen had s.h.i.+elded him and even killed the officials King Xuan had said were guilty.

No one dared to raise any objections in the face of death, and there were no other objections in court.

Then, King Xuan who had always been interested in women said that he would lead the troops personally into the desolated lands of the south.

Mo Xuetong did not know what happened after that. King Xuan was still fighting with the southern barbarians when she set fire to Sima Lingyun and Mo Xuemin's wedding.
