Chapter 184 - Losing Control, They Started to Plan for Their Own (1/2)
Mo Huawen didn’t stay at Mo Xuetong’s yard for too long before he left. On one hand, he had to greet Old Madam. On the other hand, he couldn’t say anything intimate with Mo Xuetong in the presence of others. He told Mo Xuetong to have a good rest and then left for Old Madam’s yard.
Lan Xinru and Mo Xueyan told Mo Huawen that they were also about to greet Old Madam and followed him.
Seeing her father’s impatience, Mo Xuetong smiled and asked someone to accompany them to the door.
Mo Yu saw them out, turned around and said angrily, “Miss, this Miss Lan is disgraceful to follow the master like that. She didn’t look a bit like an unmarried woman. Even we maids are more dignified than her.” She had long felt uncomfortable about Lan Xinru. She said she’d come to see Mo Xuetong, but in fact, she had been throwing eyes at Mo Huawen. When Lan Xinru noticed he hadn’t drunk the congee, she had reminded him to eat, and almost took over the chopsticks to feed him.
No one could stand such a woman!
“You don’t have to worry. Anyways, my father won’t marry her. After the New Year, if she is well-behaved, she will follow Old Madam to leave. Otherwise…” Mo Xuetong gave a strange smile and stopped talking. She had almost forgotten that Lan Xinru had a relations.h.i.+p with Sima Lingyun!
“Miss, miss, please tell me. Do you have any good ideas?” Mo Yu asked, eyes s.h.i.+ning. At the other side, Mo Lan and Mo Ye lightly held Mo Xuetong higher to let her hand stretch from under the quilt. There was a fire stove in the room, so it wasn’t cold.
Her injured hand couldn’t be wrapped all the time. Besides, she wasn’t hurt too badly, so it would be okay, so long as it was kept away from water and applied with the medicine.
“Since Mo Yu cared about Miss Lan so much, maybe we can let you take care of Miss Lan?” Mo Xuetong’s smile was pure and sweet and she leaned over to look at Mo Yu. The longer they got along, the deeper their relations became. Mo Lan and Mo Yu also smiled more because Mo Xuetong was optimistic.
Life would never be as dull as in her last life.
earing Mo Xuetong’s words, Mo Yu thought she was joking. “Miss…”
“I’m serious, from now on, you’re to watch Miss Lan’s behaviors. She’ll take actions today or tomorrow. You should watch close and come to me if you find anything abnormal.” There was a slight smile by Mo Xuetong’s lips, and her face expressed some mockery.
At her age, Lan Xinru couldn’t wait too long to get married.
Old Madam had said that she would leave after the New Year. If Lan Xinru didn’t win Mo Huawen’s heart by that time, she would have to follow Old Madam to leave, so she would take actions in the next few days. The poison Mo Xuetong drank in her last life must have connections with Lan Xinru. Lan Xinru was from a family of doctors and must know much about medicine. If she wanted to frame someone, she would prepare the medicine needed!
Mo Yu didn’t understand at first. But then he nodded to Mo Xuetong and promised after Mo Lan’s signals. “Okay, I’ll definitely watch Miss Lan closely.”
“Miss, do you need me to watch her for you? Mo Yu doesn’t know kung fu. Can she watch Miss Lan for you?” Mo Ye said worriedly. She knew how Miss Lan was the minute she saw her. Everyone could see that she had feelings for Mo Huawen while Mo Huawen didn’t care for her. But Miss Lan seemed to know nothing about it and kept giving him longing stares.
Mo Huawen had been the only man in the room just now, and her behavior made all the girls uncomfortable. Everyone could see what Lan Xinru was thinking about. Her intentions were practically written on her face!
Mo Ye didn’t care about Lan Xinru seducing Mo Huawen, but it would be horrible if she became Mo Xuetong’s stepmother! When Mo Huawen took out the jewelry box, Miss Lan’s face was filled with jealousy and unwillingness, which was so obvious. She would make Mo Xuetong’s life miserable.
If Mo Xuetong didn’t live a happy life, her master would be mad. Mo Ye had to get rid of Miss Lan as soon as possible, and so offered to do it by herself. It’s much easier to win Mo Xuetong’s affection than to win her mysterious master’s. Though her master always smiled, no one knew whether he would end another life or not at the next moment.
After what happened yesterday, both Mo Lan and Mo Yu knew Mo Ye was skilled at kung fu, and they were not surprised to hear her words. They knew everyone in the room was trustworthy, so they didn’t have to hide from each other. With this thought, they felt comfortable and warm.
Mo Xuetong leaned on the bed and said softly, “Let Mo Yu do it. Lan Xinru wouldn’t dare to act too outrageous; the most she would do is poison someone. Mo Yu has been following me all the time and knows something about medicine, so she will be perfect for the job.”
“Yes.” Mo Ye nodded and said nothing more.
“Miss, what should we do about the Luo’s?” Mo Lan asked.
