Chapter 80 Meeting King Xuan Again in the Plum Blossom Forest (2/2)

”Why did you come out from the carriage of Duke's manor. When have you become so close with the Duke's manor? That gentle and elegant Sima Lingyun is not suitable for you. If he knew that you had given the orders to beat him so badly, I wonder if he would still be so nice to you!” Feng Yuran's beautiful eyes were filled with laughter, making his already perfect face seem stunning.

Feng Yue observed the situation and smartly backed away. Then, he climbed up a tree in a flash and tried to appear as if he was not there.

He seemed to understand why His Highness had looked so displeased...

Mo Xuetong did not understand what he meant at that moment. Her long lashes fluttered and she looked at him in confusion. Her pink lips parted slightly in shock. She had not been shocked because of Feng Yuran. It was because she had understood what he meant but could not understand it. Why had Feng Yuran looked for her to unleash his anger on when someone else had been the one to annoy him.

What had she done to him!

She backed away subconsciously, furthering the distancing herself from Feng Yuran. He was a person who would do whatever he wanted but she was not someone who could be easily bullied as well. Did he really think that she could be easily molded and would do whatever he wanted? Even a clay Buddha would have a temper. Furthermore, she was human. Her lively eyes blinked and then returned to normal as she glared at him. She only reigned in her anger after a few moments.

She told herself who she was up against! King Xuan, Feng Yuran, the son Emperor Zongwen doted on the most. And he might even pa.s.s on the throne to him. The Emperor caved into his every demand. Mo Xuetong could not offend him.

”What is it, you have nothing to say? And you're glaring at me? I wonder what the handsome Sima Lingyun would say if he saw you like this. I wonder if he will think that he had set his sights on the wrong person and would never visit the Mo Manor again.” Feng Yuran said sarcastically when he saw that she had taken another two steps back.

”Even so, it seems like this has nothing to do with Your Highness.” Mo Xuetong warned herself not to be angry, however, her eyes flashed with anger. Her forced sweet smile froze on her face as she retorted with an angry expression.

”How could it be none of my business? I was admiring the scenery from the pavilion, but the two of you destroyed the scenery. I can't admire it, so I am naturally in a bad mood. Mo Xuetong, you have made a mistake and yet you still glared at me. Do you really think that I won't punish you?” Feng Yuran reached out impolitely and stopped her from turning away. His expression was one of madness, as if he would make them pay for him not being able to admire the scenery.

What reasoning was that!

What had her coming to admiring the scenery to do with him being unable to. This person was so unreasonable. Even though hew as a n.o.ble prince, he could not behave like this. Mo Xuetong reigned in her temper. She did not dare to get angry with the prince.

Sima Lingyun and her? Which eye of his had seen Sima Lingyun and her together? He was still on the carriage getting it on with Mo Xueqiong!

”King Xuan, pardon me for not understanding what you said. Even though I did come on the carriage of Duke's manor, I was with my maid. I don't know how that annoyed you. But since this is so, then I shall take my leave first and return this quiet patch of forest to you.” Mo Xuetong bit her lips and said helplessly. If possible at all, she did not wish to interact with King Xuan, whose mood swung wildly like a pendulum. He was not a good person to hang around with.

She had already lowered herself to say this, how would the n.o.ble King Xuan not let her go.

”Who else was on the carriage other than you?” Feng Yuran placed his fingers on a plum blossom branch beside him. He broke a twig and twirled it slowly in his hands. He did not seem to have any intentions of letting Mo Xuetong go, she realized helplessly. The man did not behave like a normal person would. Mo Xuetong yelled bitterly in her heart. He was of such n.o.ble status, and yet was still making things difficult for her. What was happening!

Fortunately, his voice, while lazy, was not cold. Mo Xuetong heaved a sigh of relief for some reason. She did not know what he wanted, so she answered obediently, ”My Fourth Sister and I came with His Excellency. My Eldest Sister will come in a bit.” She would definitely not reveal to him her achilles heel and tell him about what was happening between her and her sisters. The man in front of her might cause trouble. If he were to discover the issues between her and her sisters, he would watch them as if he were watching a show and make it known to the entire capital.

He would not only embarra.s.s Mo Xueqiong but the entire Mo Manor as well. After all, no matter what, Mo Xuetong was also a daughter of the Mo family and was still the main daughter at that. She had to consider the Mo Manor's reputation.

Mo Xuetong's Fourth Sister was also in the carriage but Mo Xuetong had been the only one to leave the carriage. It meant that there were indeed people on the carriage and they were a man and a woman. The Duke's son, Sima Lingyun and the Fourth Miss of the Mo Manor. What an interesting pair! Of course, it meant that she had nothing going on with Sima Lingyun.

Feng Yuran touched his chin playfully when he understood that. He held out the plum blossom branch in his hand and said, ”You sound reasonable. Since you have destroyed my mood to admire the flowers, then walk with me in compensation.” Feng Yuran said it as if he was in the right. He put the twig in Mo Xuetong's hand and dusted his hands, putting them behind his back. He glanced at Mo Xuetong and gestured for her to follow him. Then, he walked into the depths of the forest.

A devilish smile appeared on his lips. The little fox was indeed the little fox. She must have checkmate Sima Lingyun! He did not believe that Sima Lingyun would ruin his plans for a concubine's daughter...
