Chapter 45 You Yuechengs Anger (1/2)

The banquet was held within the imperial gardens. Perhaps most of the crowd had already gone over, so there was not any whispering like just now. All that was left was the autumn scenery and the blooming flowers of the maple trees. It was beautiful! The scent of the osmanthus flowers drifted in the wind, making one feel refreshed.

She stood under the osmanthus tree and raised her head, taking a deep breath. A sweet refres.h.i.+ng scent filled her nose. Even the air smelt fresh. The breeze blew across, casing a few flowers to fall off the tree and onto her beautiful, porcelain-like face. Her face looked clean and flawless. Her long lashes fluttered. The flowers slid off her face slowly. Her pink lips tugged upwards gently. She was in a rather good mood!

Mo Xuetong had been embarra.s.sed today!

The First Miss Mo who had always pretended to be gentle and elegant had been utterly embarra.s.sed today. Many would begin to doubt First Miss Mo, who was known to be gracious and kind. She did not wish to reveal the true side of Mo Xuemin today since it would make others think that she was being mean.

However, even if she did not say it outright, everyone would suspect Auntie Fang and Mo Xuemin.

A crack had already been formed. It was not that easy to fix it so that it would look the same as before. Even if Mo Xuetong used ten times the effort she had used before, it might not necessarily allow her to appear as gentle and gracious as she had before. As long as suspicion had been cast upon her, it would be much easier to tear off her fake mask in the future.

However, this was not something that could be done in a day! He would send the old man to his father. She trusted that her father would be able to make him speak.

”Third Miss Mo is indeed skillful. You've managed to make First Miss Mo guilty in just a few words. Is this something a younger sister should do? Third Miss Mo, do you only have that much grace and tolerance?” A cold voice full of disdain could be heard.

Mo Xuetong opened her eyes. Light glinted in them as she looked at You Yuecheng. He stood there with his hands on his back, looking at her coldly and disdainfully with his head raised proudly.

”Sir, I don't know how I have offended you for you to ask such a question. Who are you to the Mo family?” Mo Xuetong laughed lightly. She had seen this person both earlier and in her past life. He had always sided with Mo Xuemin and looked at her ever so warmly and gently. She did not expect that he would be so cold to her when they were alone. He must have always not liked her.

She did not wish to speak with unimportant people like him. He looked as if he was interested in questioning her and looked completely like he was going to protect Mo Xuemin.

Mo Xuemin had plotted well to find someone to pick on Mo Xuetong so quickly. She must have betted that Mo Xuetong would not dare to behave too wildly since she had just entered the palace. They were all going to frame her.

Mo Xuetong was already feeling impatient, which was why she was less cautious while speaking. After all, this man was not Feng Yuran and Bai Yihao, he did not instill in her a sense of wariness. Since he did not like her, why would she have to suffer his verbal abuse?

”You...” You Yucheng did not expect a woman to argue against him. She looked smiled gently, but there was a hint of hatred in her clear eyes. This made him angry for some reason. She was just a sly woman pretending to be gentle. How dare she embarra.s.s Mo Xuemin in front of others? You Yuecheng felt anger surge up him when he was Mo Xuemin crying softly by the fake mountain. He decided to berate Mo Xuetong since he was walking on the same path as her!

However, Mo Xuetong was so unexpectedly tough. She had overturned his statement with just a sentence. She was smiling gently and innocently but it felt tough and hard. She had even asked who he was, implying that he did not have the right to interfere with her family matter. You Yuecheng saw red.

This was the first time he was being mocked by a pure and innocent young woman.

”Third Miss Mo, don't you think you've been too much? If one sees something unfair, they would speak up about it. Third Miss Mo has ruined First Miss Mo's reputation, don't you think you look petty? Could it be that the rumors about Third Miss Mo are all true?” You Yuecheng said coldly and angrily.

”Sir, what do you think is unfair? Have I scolded my elder sister? Or have I said that she has slandered me?” Mo Xuetong asked him with a gentle smile, her expression not changing as she looked at You Yuecheng who looked determined to continue arguing. Her voice was sweet and she looked rather adorable as she turned her head.

However, the sharpness in her voice was something You Yuecheng rarely experienced!

A gentle girl like her had such sharp words! He could not help but start to take Mo Xuetong seriously.

Had she scolded Mo Xuemin? No. Had she slandered Mo Xuemin? No. In the end, she had still pleaded for Mo Xuemin.

No matter how they looked at the matter, she had done what she could for her sister.

However, this conclusion made You Yuecheng even more annoyed and his eyes grew sharper.

If he had not heard Mo Xuemin crying to Mo Jin softly, he would not have known that the innocent looking girl was so evil. She had not only gotten her Auntie locked up, but she had also even gotten her father to scold her sister. Not only had she deliberately ruined her sister's reputation, she even forced her before a crowd of people. So what if this woman was stunningly beautiful? She only had a beautiful face but had an evil heart.

You Yuecheng hated women like this. Ling Mingyan was one, and so was Third Miss Mo who looked gentle and fragile.

He tempered down the disgust in his heart and said coldly, ”Third Miss Mo, do you think that this is meaningful?”

”Sir, do you think I have done wrong?” Even though Mo Xuetong was still smiling, her eyes had cooled down. She frowned slightly and asked in an unhurried manner.
