Chapter 147 - Being Threatened, Sima Lingyun Went Back To the Capital (1/2)

“I have to thank you for the things today, for that you were troubled for my marriage. I will give you a treat at Zuixian Tower which is located in the east of the capital tonight. Let’s all get drunk before we leave and that will be my sincere grat.i.tude for you.” Li Youmo arched his eyebrows and guaranteed. Then he came to hold You Yuecheng’s shoulders like a hooligan and seemed to have a close relations.h.i.+p with him. “On my wedding ceremony, I shall kneel down before you who is our matchmaker. I’ll be grateful for you for my entire life.”

A matchmaker? He was the matchmaker between Li Youmo and Mo Xuemin! You Yuecheng opened his mouth and got completely speechless!

He quietly evaded Li Youmo’s hand and felt extremely regretful that he had a private date with Mo Xuemin that night!

If this news got out, Mingguo Manor would be quite disgraced!

The news that there would be a marriage between the Mo’s and the Li’s was all over the capital the other day because Li Youmo was so famous. It’s really shocking that someone dared to marry his daughter to such a hooligan. And almost everyone was wondering who was the brave girl.

Hearing that it was the beautiful gentle first miss from Mo Manor, everyone felt the pity. Such a beautiful, talented, gentle girl would be married to Li Youmo, which was a waste indeed.

Of course, there were also people who heard it and laughed that first miss in Mo Manor was a perfect match for the first sir in Li Manor!

She had so many different tidbits that her reputation was getting worse and worse!

When hearing such rumors, Mo Xuemin’s Fuqing Garden changed all porcelains that night!

Mo Xuemin stayed alone at the room that night!

There was no candlelit in the room or a maid by her side.

“Miss, miss!” Mo Xiu called her lightly by the door and listened. But the room was so quiet that there seemed to be no one in it. However, Mo Xiu knew miss was inside all the time.

“Come in.” Mo Xuemin took a long breath and sat up. Then she coldly answered towards the door.

“Yes!” Mo Xiu gently pushed the door open with a candleholder in her hand. The candleholder was so bright with three big bright candles in it and brought brightness into the room instantly. She carefully put the candleholder on to the desk beside her bed.

“Is there any reply from His Excellency of Duke’s manor?” In the light, Mo Xuemin’s face revealed no sign of happiness or anger, but the inflammation on her face made her pretty face seem fierce! She didn’t look as gentle as in other days. Her heart was filled with envy and hatred towards Mo Xuetong, and her eyes looked extremely scary in the light.

“Someone in Duke’s manor came and said that His Excellency would leave for the south of Yangtze River and move the tombs of his cousin’s parents back to capital. So he is not here at the moment. I have taken your letter back.” Mo Xiu didn’t dare to say anything more and took a carefully-wrapped letter out from her arms. Then she respectfully presented it to Mo Xuemin.

He was not here? Moving tombs for his cousin? He was truly a useless one who was still obedient to his weak cousin. Then it was understandable that when she got to Duke’s manor that day, his cousin followed him! She looked so seductive and was perfect to be a concubine!

Mo Xuemin was so furious that she thought Yun Yiqiu was an evil woman to have a connection with Sima Lingyun. But she forgot her improper connection with Sima Lingyun.

“Tell the man from Duke’s manor that our forth miss don’t want to be a concubine!” Mo Xuemin said coldly! Although Sima Lingyun didn’t want to marry Mo Xueqiong, he didn’t dare to offend Mo Manor. Duke’s manor had no power now and could do nothing if Mo Xueqiong was determined not to marry him. But if that happened, it would be Duke’s manor that got disgraced. She didn’t believe Sima Lingyun wouldn’t worry about this!

“Okay, I’ll go right now.” Mo Xiu didn’t dare to go against her order and stepped out feeling frightened.

The thing between the Li’s and the Mo’s was getting more and more concerns.

At first, the Li’s went to Mo Manor to seek a marriage alliance and got kicked out. Then duke’s son of Mingguo went with first sir of Li’s to seek marriage and was kicked out again. At last, the betrothal gift from the Li’s was placed in front of Mo Manor. However, Mo Manor didn’t open the gate for the entire day, which made the pa.s.sengers look at the betrothal gift all day.

Then Minister Li came by himself and talked with Official Mo in the study. When the door was opened again, they sat there peacefully without any anger. The official even accompanied Minister Li to the gate, talking and smiling.

Some people said they had reached an agreement and the daughter from Mo Manor would definitely be married into Li Manor. However, nothing ever happened in Li Manor since then, and no one saw Sir Li again. Someone said he was studying and looked very hard-working.

Maybe they wanted Li Youmo to take an imperial examination? No one in the capital would believe in this possibility and wanted to know more about it. However, nothing else ever happened! Li Youmo didn’t come to Mo Manor anymore, and Mo Manor regained its usual atmosphere. It’s almost the New year, and everyone was busy with New Year’s trifles. And no one ever mentioned the marriage.
