Chapter 82 Mo Xuemins Backup Plan (2/2)

Even though no one heard him, it was still infuriating!

This person was extremely annoying!

He had brought her here but had abandoned her here. She could not go anywhere and there was no one to ask for help. It was the middle of the day and she could not reveal that Mo Ye knew martial arts. Fortunately, Mo Xuetong believed that if there was a will, there was a way. She left the fake mountain with Mo Ye and they walked for a long while following the wall before finding a door in the corner. It was slightly hidden and tilted and there was a large lock on it.

Mo Ye went to break the lock.

They entered the plum blossom forest following the wall. Mo Xuetong walked towards the edge of the forest. She estimated the time. Mo Xuemin had indeed acted. Mo Xueqiong and Sima Lingyun had already been discovered. She had looked at that spot when she was in the pavilion earlier. The horse carriage had disappeared. If something that resulted in them being shamed had happened, Sima Lingyun would naturally be embarra.s.sed to stay.

Two madams walked past her, discussing the matter softly, occasionally laughing mockingly.

”Was it really a young lady from the Mo family in the carriage with the Duke's son?”

”That's right. They were hugging each other. Tsk... he usually looks so gentle and elegant, why would something like this happen...”

”It's such a disgrace, such a disgrace! I wonder which young lady of the Mo family it is?”

”Who else could it be? It definitely can't be the first miss of the Mo family. I heard that she saw the scene and fainted.”

”Only the first miss of the Mo family is decent. She is talented and beautiful. The others are really lackl.u.s.ter.”

...

”Miss...” Mo Ye was loyal to Mo Xuetong and she paled when she heard that. The ladies were talking about Sima Lingyun and a young lady from the Mo family. Her mistress had come with His Excellency earlier. Even though it was Mo Xueqiong who had been entangled with His Excellency, but others did not know. They all only knew that it was not Mo Xuemin who had been involved in the matter.

Mo Xuemin was indeed smart. She still had a backup plan even at this stage. She was going to implicate Mo Xuetong using Mo Xueqiong!

She was going to make it seem as if the one inside the carriage with Sima Lingyun was her so that she could not do anything about it!

”Madam, could I ask what happened to the Mo family?” Mo Xuetong reached out and stopped Mo Yu from speaking. She hurried towards the chatting madams. However, she stumbled and almost fell because she was in a hurry. If Mo Yu had not quickly helped her, she would have knocked into the lady in front of her.

”Who are you?” The woman looked at her 30s. She was wearing a red cotton dress. She had thick lashes and her smile was n.o.ble and gracious. Even though they were chatting in private, they had not lowered their voices. It was as if they were chatting about the weather and they had four maids following behind them.

”I am the third daughter of the Mo family. Could I please ask what happened to my family?” Mo Yu helped Mo Xuetong over. Her face was as pale as snow but she still curtsied politely. However, she could not control herself as her body shook. Her clear eyes were filled with fragility as she pleaded. She bit her lips lightly and seemed extremely anxious and lovely!

”Third Young Miss Mo, are you the Third Young Miss Mo who have just come to the capital?” The woman in red sized Mo Xuetong up. There was a flash of surprise in her eyes. Didn't they say that Third Young Miss Mo was rude and arrogant? Could a lady who remained calm in such a situation be like that?

”Madam, that is me. Could you please tell me what happened?” Mo Xuetong asked anxiously as if she had not heard the implications in the woman's tone.

Her lively eyes clouded over slightly with anxiety. Even though she was anxious to find out what happened, she did not mind even when others were rude.

The lady in red seemed to have sensed that she was being rude with her words. However, when she saw that Mo Xuetong did not seem to mind and continued to ask what happened, a hint of admiration appeared in her eyes. She nodded and smiled, saying, ”Did your Fourth Sister come to admire the plum blossoms with Sir Sima of the Duke's manor today? It was a terrible scene earlier. The two of them did not get off the carriage to admire the blossoms but were hugging in the carriage. I fear the matter has gone to your manor. You had better go back and take a look.”

Even though the madam in red was curious she did not intend to let Mo Xuetong answer. Her words were filled with meaning. Even though she was very direct, it made one feel that she was a straightforward person. Mo Xuetong's eyes filled with tears and her teary gaze landed on her wrist.

She wore a phoenix jade bangle on her pale wrist. The phoenix head was bright green. Then, her gaze turned to the four maids behind her. The four maids were all good looking and they seemed sharper than regular maids. Even though they lowered their heads from time to time and were no different from other servants, they did not seem as gentle as other maids when they looked up.
