Chapter 70 Mo Hes Emotions Were Made Use Of (1/2)

However, no one thought that the coldness had come from Bai Yihao. They only felt that his status was n.o.ble and beyond them. The distance between them was too big and they should not even l.u.s.t after him. Everyone felt humbled before him and did not dare to look up at his handsome appearance.

Mo Xuetong was slightly stunned. She looked up to look at the wooden plaque in front of the manor proclaiming it to be ”Mo Manor” and thought that she had gone to the wrong place. He seemed even more familiar with the place than her. She had thought that since he was at her doorstep, she should play her part as the host and invite him in. However, she did not expect that the guards at the door did not even care about her, the third miss of the family. Instead, they all surrounded him. Those who did not know would probably think that he was the master of the house.

That was so odd!

”Miss, Sir Bai went in. We should go in too.” Mo He's gaze followed after Bai Yihao dazedly. She followed closely and then realized that Mo Xuetong had not followed behind her. She hurried to hide her smile and returned to help Mo Xuetong.

”You're just a maid and you dare to even think about my master. You are overestimating yourself.” A cold voice could be heard from the horse carriage that Bai Yihao just got off from. The door curtains lifted and a beautiful woman dressed in a servant's uniform appeared. She was about 15 or 16 and was at the peak of her beauty. She lifted her head up high and looked at Mo Xuetong with an unfriendly look in her beautiful eyes. However, her words were spoken to Mo He.

”What are you talking about?” Mo He's face flushed bright red as the words were spoken before many people. However, since it was the truth, she did not manage to speak as glibly as she usually did. She could only retort with a flush and even the manner in which she spoke seemed slightly weaker.

”You've been looking at my master since you got off the horse carriage and even forgot about your mistress. Is that not true? Look at who you are and who my master is.” The beautiful maid glanced at Mo He from the corner of the eye, the disdain she felt was obvious to all.

Mo He was embarra.s.sed and enraged by what she said. And just as she was about to retort, Mo Xuetong reached out to stop her with a smile.

”You must be Sir Bai's personal maid. Since we are at in front of the Mo Manor, you can go in with Sir Bai if you wish to. Why you come and shame my maid? Could it be that all those who work for Sir Bai are all so outrageous in speech?” Mo Xuetong sized the maid up and smiled. However, it did not reach her eyes.

She might have seemed like she was shaming Mo He, but she was shaming her!

A cold smile appeared by her lips. Then, without waiting for a reply, she held on to Mo He and they walked to the manor doors slowly.

She did not wish to, and neither would she deign to argue with a maid. It would also save her from falling into other's plots.

The guard outside the door saw Mo Xuetong's carriage. It was his mistress and he hurried up to greet her. Bai Yihao's maid behind her was flushed red. She had been ignored by Mo Xuetong, and she stood in front of the horse carriage, ashamed, and not able to say another word.

Mo Xuetong released Mo He's hand when they entered the manor. Her eyes turned cold.

”Miss...” Mo He said hesitantly.

”Go back to Qingwei Garden and receive your punishment. Ask Mo Yu to come and serve me. I have something on and need to go to Father's study. Ask her to find me there.” Mo Xuetong looked at Mo He silently. Her eyes were deep and dark and it took a moment of silence before she spoke.

She had never met Bai Yihao in her past life, so Mo He had naturally never met him as well. As such, she had never imagined that the two of them, who had such a wide chasm between their statues, would have anything to do with each other. She could see the dazed look in Mo He's eyes. Mo He had fallen for Bai Yihao at first sight. She had disregarded her own reputation and peeked at Bai Yihao through the windows.

When had this happened? She had not realized at all, and had allowed Mo He to appear before him and to be used by others!

Coldness welled up in her heart.

Mo He felt afraid as Mo Xuetong looked at her. The flush on her face faded a little and she paled. She said with a shaky voice, ”Miss...”

”Don't say anything else. Go!” Mo Xuetong's voice was soft and gentle but also determined. She lifted her skirts and walked on, brus.h.i.+ng by Mo He. She walked slowly to the garden beside her towards Mo Huawen's study. Bai Yihao was there right now so she was not in a rush to go there. She might as well sit around in the garden.

She did not wish to meet Bai Yihao again in the study. A person like that was too dangerous!

It started to slow, landing on her light blue skirt. Her clothes fitted her slender body perfectly. When the flakes of snow fell, she looked like a fairy who was walking through the snow storm. Her beautiful face looked as if it was carved out of jade, and on her face, were two s.h.i.+ny dark eyes. Her lashes were long, thick and dark and they curled up ever so slightly.

Her lashes fluttered and her tiny lips glistened like a moist peach.

Her eyes shone with light, and she seemed extraordinarily beautiful in the bleak snow. She looked like a fairy stepping on clouds of snow, pure and clean.

Qin Yufeng was standing at a pavilion near the lake. He wore a dark blue robe. There were silver threads embroidering the scenery of cranes and clouds at his sleeves and the bottom of his robes. He also wore a gold belt that had a jade pendant hanging off it. He looked charming and carefree. He stood in the pavilion with his hands on his back and watched as Mo Xuetong approached. An inexplicable expression crossed his face and he smiled gently.

”Cousin Tong, come here to get out of the snow and leave later.” He smiled and said to Mo Xuetong who was holding up her skirt and looking up at the sky.

”Cousin Feng!” Mo Xuetong noticed Qin Yufeng and hesitated slightly before she hurried into the pavilion. She removed the sleeve she had placed over her head and curtsied deeply in greeting. Then, she smiled and said, ”Cousin Feng, what are you doing here? Why didn't you go hang out at Father's study?”

In her past life, Qin Yufeng had been Mo Xuemin's loyal lover.

”I just came out from Uncle's study and got caught in the snow. I saw a beautiful girl walking through the snow, so I invited Cousin Tong to come and look as well.” Qin Yufeng laughed gaily as he returned the greeting.

His words were rather interesting and were also slightly teasing.
