Chapter 145 - Mo Xuemin was Beaten Up (2/2)
She did not know why she felt so relaxed today!
“First Miss, what do you mean?” Li Youmo narrowed his eyes dangerously. His eyes were dangerous and dark. He raised his brows and You Yuecheng was secretly alarmed. He was about to stop Li Youmo, but he had already started to cause trouble. “First Miss, you hugged me yesterday and we already had skin to skin contact. Are you going to deny it today? Or do you think I am worthless and that we would be a good match only if I were as charming as Brother Yuecheng?”
His words made You Yuecheng, who was about to approach him, take two steps back!
He had just been brought up. If he went up right now, Li Youmo’s words would grow even uglier. Even though he felt that Mo Xuemin was pretty decent, he did not want to upset Li Youmo. He was an unpredictable character and if he angered him, he would not care that they had grown up together. He had yelled so loudly that First Miss Mo had a dalliance with him. Did he still care for his reputation?
You Yuecheng felt guilty as well. Mo Xuemin had only left their private room and encountered Li Youmo downstairs. Then, he had stopped Li Youmo in order to save Mo Xuemin. The two had appeared together in Fragrance House. If Li Youmo were to suspect that Mo Xuemin was there to meet You Yuecheng and asked others about it, the matter would be exposed!
He was the Ming Duke’s son with an excellent reputation. He must not be pinned with having a dalliance with a woman. Furthermore, Mo Xuemin was just a concubine’s daughter and cannot become his main wife.
You Yuecheng backed away silently. However, Mo Xuemin was forced down a dead end. Li Youmo touched her face slightly and he spoke lewdly. Her handkerchief was about to tear from her wringing. She gritted her teeth and told herself to bear with it. She had to bear with it. However, when she saw You Yuecheng backing away, she could not hold back her anger and exploded.
She pointed at Li Youmo and scolded, “You are a shameless lecher. I have never seen you yesterday. Those were all your delusions. And now you are trying to ruin mine and Sir You’s reputation. You are so ill-bred. And you are a cla.s.sless, vile person.”
Mo Xuemin really admired Mo Xuemin’s guts. She still dared to look at Li Youmo’s dark expression and point at his nose and called him a vile character. She was challenging his temper. The calm Mo Xuemin had lost control. That Li Youmo was really not simple.
Li Youmo rushed up at Mo Xuemin as Mo Xuetong was deep in thought. His eyes looked as if they could spit fire. She had scolded him for his ill-breeding, and this was something he minded the most. Those close to him knew that those who commented on his ill-breeding usually did not end up well. This comment had embarra.s.sed him and tore open old wounds.
He had been used to being a tyrant in the capital. He had always been the one to embarra.s.s others. When had a s.l.u.t ever embarra.s.sed him? Furthermore, those words pierced through his heart like a poison arrow. Li Youmo had always believed that if he could not bear it, he did not have to. As such, that was always how he behaved.
“Slap” “Slap” Mo Xuemin’s shrill cries could be heard.
You Yuecheng was stunned. Mo Xuetong held back her laughter and looked at Mo Xuemin. She saw that there was a large handprint on both sides of her beautiful, pale white face. The five fingers on the handprint slowly turned from white to red and swelled up. Most importantly, two streams of blood flowed down from her nose, making her beautiful face look like that of a ghost. She did not look like an elegant and gentle n.o.ble woman.
“Giggle…” Someone could not stop herself, and the sounds of giggling could be heard accompanied by a teasing voice. “Eldest Sister, what’s the matter? Why have you become like that? What’s there that you can’t talk about properly and have to scold others and fight with your arms and legs. If Father finds out about this, he would think that you have not adhered to etiquette again.”
Mo Xueqiong was with her two maids on the side of the path. She covered her mouth as she walked over and curtsied politely to You Yuecheng and Li Youmo. Then, she smiled and stood by Mo Xuetong’s side and said, “Third Sister, why aren’t you helping Eldest Sister? No matter how bad she is, she can’t go around hitting people. Look at how she is right now. She does not look at all like a First Miss. No matter who sees her…Sigh, can her face still be looked at?”
Mo Xueqiong approached Mo Xuemin as she spoke. She took out a mirror from her sleeves and stretched it in front of Mo Xuemin as Mo Xuemin panted. “Eldest Sister, look, your face looks even worse than Ah Hua’s. Sir You doesn’t even want to look at you anymore.”
Mo Xueqiong pointed meaningfully at You Yuecheng who turned his head away from Mo Xuemin in disgust. There was a vague smile on her lips.
She was here to make trouble. She was jealous of Mo Xuemin. They were both concubine’s daughters and both had marred reputation, so why was Mo Xuemin marrying better than her?
Mo Xuemin looked at where You Yuecheng was standing and saw his expression of disgust. She shuddered to herself. Did she look that bad? Ah Hua was the lowest ranking maid in the manor. She was a little silly. If she looked like her, how was she going to go on with her life?
She had initially decided not to be tricked by Mo Xueqiong and would not look into the mirror. She knew about Mo Xueqiong’s jealousy and hatred for her. But she had never really cared for the silly Mo Xueqiong. Mo Xueqiong would definitely cast stones at her while she was down. She would deal with her when she had the time to.
However, she could not help but look into the mirror because of You Yuecheng’s att.i.tude. A bruised and battered face appeared in the mirror. She screamed immediately, “My face!” Then, she pushed away Mo Xiu who had come up to hold her. She did not care about anything else, but covered her face with her sleeves and stumbled back where she came from.
Mo Xuemin depended on that face of hers. How could she not be alarmed now that she looked like that!
