Chapter 91 King Xuan Plots as He Watches the Fire Burn (2/2)
Her hair was a little burnt and was stuck to the side of her face. She had not the time to deal with it yet. Her fingers were on the table and she wrung her handkerchief tightly. She shuddered from time to time, gritting her teeth. She was furious and her expression was cold, dark, and venomous.
She really did not want to. How could she be willing to become Sima Lingyun's concubine.
”Miss…” Mo Xiu shook by the side. She wanted to console her mistress.
”You shut up!” Mo Xuemin's face twitched as she glared at Mo Xiu. It was as if she had only just realized she was not the only one in the room.
She picked up a white jade decorative piece and threw it at Mo Xiu viciously.
Mo Xiu could not dodge in time and was. .h.i.t. She backed away quickly and tripped at the threshold of the door, falling by the door. The decorative piece fell on her and shattered. A few pieces pierced through her skin and blood flowed from her arms and the edges of her skirt. Mo Xiu did not dare to say anything as she looked at Mo Xuemin's current state. She knelt down with difficulty, shaking. One did not know if she was in pain or afraid.
”Go, tell Sima Lingyun that if he does not make me his main wife, I will make what happened today public.” She gritted her teeth, enunciating every word carefully. Under the light, her burnt and messy hair and ferocious expression was as cold and sinister as the devil. Anger filled her eyes.
Mo Xiu did not dare say anything else. She clambered up hurriedly, her beautiful face filled with fear. She fell again because of her anxiousness and she cut her leg on the shattered ceramic on the floor. She did not even care to cry out in pain. Instead, she held onto the wall and bore down on the pain, stumbling towards the old madam's courtyard.
This scene made her remember that day when First Miss returned from the palace. She was just as terrifying that day. Mo Jin who had followed her that day had disappeared then. Mo Jin was more loyal to First Miss then her. Mo Xiu did not believe that Mo Jin would do something without First Miss' permission. However, in the end, she had still gotten into trouble because of First Miss.
Mo Xiu had never told anyone about this thought of hers, but it had remained in her heart!
”Fourth Miss, the incident between First Miss and Sir Sima is definitely true. Everyone is talking about her marriage to Sir Sima and no one is talking about what happened to you. Everyone in the manor is all thinking that First Miss is going to marry His Excellency. The d.u.c.h.ess came over just now too and she is talking to the old madam right now. Other than the people the old madam brought with her, only Miss Yan can enter the room. No one knows what is happening inside.” Mo Xueqiong's maid, Mo Yan wiped her sweat and entered the room, reporting to Mo Xueqiong.
”Crash.” Mo Xueqiong trashed a few teacups, leaping to her feet angrily. She pointed in the direction of Fuqing Garden and yelled, ”We are both concubines' daughters. Why can she marry Sima Lingyun and become his main wife while I can only be a concubine? She even said that it was for my good and we have to push Mo Xuetong down. In the end, Sima Lingyun's main wife is not me. She was lying to me. That s.l.u.t. She's really a s.l.u.t.”
Mo Xueqiong was furious. Her brows were deeply furrowed. How could she not hate Mo Xuemin?
They were both concubines' daughters. Why could Mo Xuemin become Sima Lingyun's main wife after they had skin contact? Did she and Sima Lingyun not reach that step!
Hate filled her heart and her face was flushed. She slapped down heavily on the table!
Mo Xuemin, you want to be better than me and become Sima Lingyun's main wife. Dream on!
It was chaotic in the manor tonight. The mistresses of each courtyard were angrier than the other. The old madam had also smashed a blue ceramic tea cup.
”Old madam, don't be angry. If we were really to talk about this, the Duke's Manor is really not to blame. His Excellency Sima is trying to save a life after all. If we really want him to bear responsibility and make First Miss become his main wife, it would be a difficult thing to do. Others would say that those from the Mo Manor are ungrateful and that we are trying to climb up the social ladder when they saved us.” Nanny Hua, the old madam's servant was intelligent. When she saw the old madam smas.h.i.+ng a teacup angrily, she gestured to the maid by the side to quickly take the cup away as she tried to console the woman softly.
”It is true that we cannot do without a madam to preside over matters in the manor. All the girls do not know their etiquette and have lost their reputation. They even implicated Yan'er. How terrible! They all want to marry and become someone's concubine. They were really taught by their concubine mothers. How can they appear in society?” The old madam received a fresh cup of tea and drank angrily. She was scalded by the hot tea and spat it out quickly, coughing furiously.
The maids and servants were all fl.u.s.tered. They brought her cold water and towels. The old madam finally stopped coughing after a while and looked at the maids and servants around her. She said hatefully,” You all are so worrisome. Leave, all of you. You all make me angry just by being here.”
No one dared to say anything else and they left hurriedly. Only Nanny Hua was left trying to console the old madam while she rearranged the teacups.
