Chapter 61 the Concubines Daughter Pretends to Be Filial and Airs Her Grievances (2/2)

Mo Xuemin had played this hand beautifully. She had first mentioned that she did not mind Auntie Fang's lowly status and then accepted the blame for everything. Then, she had said that she had done everything out of filial piety. Even Mo Huawen, who was furious, could not do anything about it. His daughter was still the demure, elegant, and gracious Min'er?

However, even though Mo Xuemin had made everything sound reasonable, and two servants could prove what she said, Mo Huawen would not believe in her blindly as he once did. He remained clear-headed and asked, looking at her deeply, ”Min'er, you are a lady of the house. Even though Auntie Fang gave birth to you, you have to remember that your mother is the madam and that you should be filial to madam.”

”Yes, Father. I was stupid and said the wrong thing because I was anxious.” Mo Xuemin nodded and apologized, wiping her tears away with her handkerchief.

”Alright, rest well. You have just recovered, don't make clothes.” Mo Huawen stood up and walked out. Mo Xuemin sent him off to the door, holding on to Mo Xiu's hand.

Mo Xuemin only returned to her room to sit when she saw Mo Huawen's back disappearing at the door. She wrung her handkerchief, her features twisted in hate.

Mo Xiu stood to the side, trying her best to remain inconspicuous and not daring to say another word when she saw Mo Xuemin's expression. She was afraid that she would annoy her mistress if she said something wrong. She would suffer then.

”Send someone to Auntie Fang's to check.” Mo Xuemin said coldly after a long while. ”Tell her not to hide some things. If she does not say them now, even if she might have the chance to say them in the future, she has to first get Father's love. She should say them while Uncle is here to speak up for her...”

Even though her father had wanted to go to see Auntie Fang, he would not have the time to do so. Her uncle, Lord Yu, had come early in the morning and had just met up with Auntie Fang. He must be waiting for her father in the study. Auntie Fang was the long lost daughter of the Yu family, and this was something her father and the Yu family had known about long ago. They did not have a chance to reveal it.

The Yu family was a n.o.ble and wealthy one. They naturally did not want their main daughter to become her father's concubine. That was why they had kept the matter under wraps for so long. It was the right time to reveal it now. With her uncle giving the suggestions, her father would not be able to say anything even if he objected to it. Furthermore, her father had agreed to the matter privately when they first came to the capital.

”Yes.” Mo Xiu hesitated and then could not bear it. ”If Old Sir is angry with Auntie about this matter, then wouldn't it ruin Auntie's plans?”

”Her plans will never be able to catch up with that s.l.u.t's change. Tell her to be more careful and don't ruin my plans.” Mo Xuemin laughed coldly. If she had not been so short-sighted, would she have to act like this in front of her father? It might not even pay off in the end.

If Auntie Fang had not acted secretly, what she had to do next would be much simpler.

She could only use her uncle to exert pressure on her father while trying to get rid of the sly little s.l.u.t that was Mo Xuetong as soon as possible. She did not expect Mo Xuetong to emerge unscathed from the palace and that her reputation would be ruined instead. How could Mo Xuemin not grit her teeth in anger?

In the study.

Yu Feng had already been waiting there for a long while. He had been in Cloud City with Mo Huawen for many years, and the two were considered good friends. That was how he had gotten Auntie Fang to be secretly acknowledged.

Yu Feng was a middle-aged man in his 40s. He was thin, and if one looked carefully, they would see that his slightly sharp chin was exactly like Auntie Fang's. Auntie Fang was his blood sister. She had gone missing with their nursemaid when they were little on a trip out to the lantern festival. Yu Feng was happy to find his long lost sister.

”Lord Mo, I have been waiting for a long while. Why were you gone for so long? I thought that you had cut all contact with the Fu General Manor?” Yu Feng's tone was sarcastic because he had waited for some time. He was angry as he thought about how his younger sister was still a concubine and that she was not doing as well as before.

”My third daughter is not well and is staying with her grandparents. I went to visit her, which was why I returned late. I hope that you will understand!” Mo Huawen suppressed the anger he felt. He knew that Yu Feng would not visit for no reason. As such, he smiled and went up to Yu Feng, smiling as he explained.

The two sat in their respective seats, and a servant served them tea.

They both took a few sips of tea and got down to business.
