Chapter 184 - Losing Control, They Started to Plan for Their Own (2/2)

“After a few days, my hand will be fine, and hopefully no one will notice it. I’ll beg grandma to let my aunt go to the feasts which will be held by Four Great Manors . My father saw my aunt last time and should have a good impression of her.”

Although Mo Lan understood Mo Xuetong’s words, she thought it was a little inappropriate. “But miss, it was Old Madam who was in charge in the inner yard. Miss Xu won’t have a respected position in the manor. Miss Lan lived under Old Madam’s name.”

“Don’t worry. Although Old Madam is in charge of the inner yard, she was an elder and her status was not high enough for the feast, which was the same for Lan Xinru and Mo Xueyan. I’m weak, so my father definitely wants to find someone to accompany me to the feast. Although the Xu’s declined, my aunt has the t.i.tle of a Miss Bo and can attend this kind of feast. Besides, she was seven or eight years older than me, which will make her perfect for taking care of me. My father would also like that to happen.”

Mo Yu was also clever and understood Mo Xuetong’s meaning instantly. She couldn’t help clapping her hands and admiring Mo Xuetong even more. “Then whenever you feel uncomfortable, we can ask Miss Xu to accompany you. And your father will definitely agree with it.”

“Our miss is so smart. Today, General Manor sent some gifts and I shall requite them. And I’ll highlight on those prepared for Miss Xu,” Mo Lan said with a smile.

Mo Xuetong was Xu Yan’s youngster and couldn’t discuss her marriage, which would only depend on her grandma. Mo Xuetong would only have to give hints properly. She thought that according to her grandma’s mind, she would definitely be satisfied with Mo Huawen marrying her daughter again. And she wouldn’t worry about Xu Yan taking care of Mo Xuetong because they were from the same family.

Mo Xuetong’s grandma loved her so much that she would definitely want her father’s new wife to take good care of Mo Xuetong and have a good relations.h.i.+p with her. If Mo Huawen didn’t object, then it was settled.

The toughest part would be getting Mo Huawen to make the request.

With marriages, it was always the man who put forward the request first. After discussing in private and both having the same intention, they could ask someone to propose and act as a matchmaker for them, which would avoid the embarra.s.sment of getting refused, which would disgrace both parties.

“But even if he agrees to let Miss Xu accompany you, he may not agree to…” Mo Lan’s worries were quite reasonable.

“The special method has to be used under special circ.u.mstance. Besides, we are not the only one to use the special method. Let’s see what Miss Lan will do next,” Mo Xuetong said leisurely.

She fixed her attention on her hand and watched Mo Feng carefully unwrap the tissue. There was more than one wound on her hand, and it had looked b.l.o.o.d.y and scary last night. When it was unwrapped, there were so many wounds on it that she couldn’t help gasping.

Mo Ye was so afraid that her steady hand trembled.

“Don’t worry. It doesn’t hurt much anymore.” Mo Xuetong said smilingly. The medicine she used was really helpful and the wound had already formed scabs. The one in the middle of her palm was the longest.

“Don’t worry, miss. I’ll do nothing more these days except for watching Miss Lan. If Miss Lan’s maids can’t find a way to the back door because they are new here, I’ll definitely lead them there warmly and tell them what to say to the nanny guarding the back door to leave.” Mo Yu was pretty sure about what she had to do. She almost patted on her chest to promise to help Miss Lan realize her dream.

The three maids looked at each other and smiled understandingly.

In Old Madam’s yard, both Lan Xinru and Mo Xueyan were driven out. Only Old Madam and Mo Huawen were left there to discuss over something.

Old Madam frowned. The d.u.c.h.ess had come by and asked to be greeted in person, in an attempt to humiliate her, and she wasn’t in a good mood.

“Huawen, what should we do about Min’er? Do we really have to send her into Duke Zhenguo’s manor as a concubine? It’s already inappropriate for Qiong’er to be a concubine there. If two of your daughters become Sima Lingyun’s concubines, it will be harmful to both you and Feng’er. You two will be disgraced.”

“It’s pretty tough to deal with Min’er’s accident. There were so many people who saw… plus, she stayed at Duke Zhenguo’s manor for a whole night…” Mo Huawen said nervously.

“It’s not too bad if it’s only Qiong’er. After all, Sima Lingyun was trying to save people. And we let him marry Qiong’er to show our grat.i.tude, which will let him have the t.i.tle of a hero. But this time, Sima Lingyun was such a randy and raffish man. Mo Manor can’t send a daughter out again. Wen’er, if you handle it in that way, you’ll always be looked down on.” Old Madam sat there seriously with compressed anger in her eyes.

It was pretty rare that she would take Mo Huawen’s side!
