Chapter 46 The Competition (2/2)
Mo Xuemin's smile grew when she heard Mo Xuetong agree. She behaved even more warmly and held her hand, saying to her in a friendly manner, ”We are sisters, of course I will accompany you. I have my failings too. I even mistakenly believed what others said earlier and almost caused you to be misunderstood. It was my wrong as your elder sister. Please forgive me for my thoughtless mistake or I will feel guilty forever.”
She had first indicated that their relations.h.i.+p was good and explained what happened earlier. Mo Xuetong looked at the ladies around them who were all listening to them intently even though they had not turned around. She laughed to herself coldly. Mo Xuemin wanted to use this chance to smooth the situation over. If she seemed really innocent, who would blame the First Miss Mo who had always been known to be kind and gracious? However, Mo Xuemin must be dreaming!
”Eldest Sister, you're too kind to me. How would I blame you? I think it was a misunderstanding earlier. I must have offended someone that they would plot against me the moment I entered the capital. Fortunately, you were there to help me then. I will always remember how kind you are to me.” Mo Xuetong smiled coyly. She looked at Mo Xuemin innocently and as if she was truly grateful to her.
Everyone could hear from her gentle reply that she was being very sincere.
No matter what, they all felt that the First Miss treated Third Miss very well, and that there might really have been a misunderstanding earlier. However, when they thought of it carefully, something seemed odd. Since Mo Xuemin had helped to settle the incident at the city gates, then why did she not explain on behalf of her sister earlier? Instead, she had given a vague answer that would make others suspicious of Mo Xuetong. If she was really present, with her talents, could she not see anything clearly?
Third Miss Mo had just returned to the capital and she had been plotted against. Then, First Miss Mo had appeared to settle the problem and the rumors started. When First Miss Mo heard the rumors, she had not answered clearly and instead seemed to be admitting Third Miss Mo's guilt. Then, First Miss Mo had appeared at the flower appreciation party where she should not be present and pointed straight out that Mo Xuetong was guilty. All these incidents did not make it seem as if Mo Xuemin was trying to protect her younger sister...
The more they listened, the more something smelled fishy!
Yet, the girl looked at her elder sister innocently and with pure grat.i.tude as if she was not wary of her at all...
Sisters? What kind of sisters!
Mo Xuemin had already keenly sensed the disdain from the other ladies. Even though she hated Mo Xuetong for being ignorant, she did not react at all. She continued smiling kindly to maintain her image. She comforted Mo Xuetong gently and did not dare to mention what had happened earlier again. She only talked about casual matters to show off their good relations.h.i.+p.
The elder sister's gentle questions and the younger sister's innocent reply made it seem as if the two of them got along very well.
How fake! Feng Yuran's eyebrows twitched up.
The younger sister was so fake it would make one's jaw drop, and the older sister was even more diligent at being fake. The two Mo sisters were very entertaining. However, he got to know Mo Xuetong first, so Feng Yuran felt that even though the younger sister was fake, she was adorable. However, the elder sister was very annoying!
His charming gaze swept over King Yan and landed on Bai Yihao, who was seated in the crowd. Celebrities were celebrities. They were always the center of the crowd no matter where they were. If it weren't for his aloof position, it would be difficult for them to even meet him. The elegant and distant sounds of the Qin could be heard and the chattering grew softer. Everyone quietened down to carefully listen to the touching music.
For that moment, only the sounds of music could be heard in their hearts. It was as if their hearts were being cleansed, becoming crystal clear.
Bai Yihao played the instrument, and his musical abilities were just as great as his medical abilities. The entire place fell silent the moment he started playing. Everyone stopped what they were doing and sat up straight to listen to him carefully.
The music hung in the air. It was like the flowing streams in the mountain, and like the moving clouds in the sky. It had an unspeakable natural charm and every worry in the mortal realm was washed away by water. Their hearts became cleansed and pure!
However, could human hearts really be as clear as water? Mo Xuetong sighed lightly and closed her eyes. If human hearts could really be as clear as water, would she have died in such a terrible manner in her previous life? It was not just a singular life, but many had died. When she listened to the seemingly distant music, she recalled the day of the fire. The poison, the vitriol and that hateful, mad laughter.
It hurt so much she could not breathe. Her hands clenched tightly under the table and pained look appeared on her calm face. The sound of the music did not sound distant anymore. Instead, it was like a sword that pierced through Mo Xuetong's heart bloodily. Oh, the endless pain, the endless hatred, and the endless regret!
Feng Yuran's gaze returned to Mo Xuetong in the end. When he saw that she was like the others, listening to the music softly, he harrumphed softly and grew unhappy. He was about to ruin the elegant atmosphere when he saw the change in Mo Xuetong's expression. It was as if she was recalling something that brought her pain and suffering. Sweat appeared on her pale face as she sat there, and she bit her lips forcefully. Her lips were as pale as her face. Her long lashes flutter. She seemed to be in so much pain...
He frowned slightly and picked up his chopsticks, tapping them to the music. It fit and yet did not. The chopsticks landed every time the music changed, and the distant music flowed into the ugly and rough tapping. It made one feel as if they could not breathe and as if there was something stuck in their chest. It felt extremely uncomfortable!
