Chapter 194 - Behaving Stupidly, Fifth Princess was Filled with Jealousy and Hatred (2/2)

Mo Xueyan was shocked and came to herself instantly. She didn’t dare to drag with the maid anymore. Then her feet got weak and she knelt down with a thud. “I, an ordinary girl, greet the princess!”

There was an ordinary girl in Fu General Manor which made Fifth Princess hesitate too. She glanced at Bai Yihao who was smiling gently and said smilingly, “Cousin, how come there is an ordinary girl at the feast held by Fu General Manor? Do you want to go with me and have a look?”

The position she was at was right at the door, but Bai Yihao was outside of the door. If they wanted to see it together, Bai Yihao had to come closer to her.

Bai Yihao stepped up and crossed the second door. Then he walked in front of Fifth Princess. “Since you invited me, I shall have a look with you.”

She had invited him with so many methods, but her cousin wouldn’t come to her. But now that the girl was here, her cousin came in so easily. Was it because of this girl? Fifth Princess’s cold and jealous eyes landed on Mo Xueyan and searched her entirely. It was just a normal girl who was not very pretty and couldn’t even be compared to Lingyue in her palace. How did such a girl attract her cousin’s attention!

She walked quickly and kept up with Bai Yihao. Then they both stopped in front of Mo Xueyan.

Fifth Princess looked down on her and spoke coldly before Bai Yihao, “How did you get in? Why could an ordinary girl show up at the feast held by Fu General? If you are fake, you’ll be dead!”

When hearing that she would be killed, Mo Xueyan’s face turned pale and she hurriedly explained. “Princess, I didn’t get blended in. It’s my Third Sister who brought me in. But she had other business and left me here just now, and I got lost after a while. I was about to find my way back.”

She also knew how disgraceful it would be for a girl’s reputation to sneak out of the second door. Therefore, she just pushed all the blame onto Mo Xuetong.

Fifth Princess’s face was calm and dark like water, especially when she noticed Bai Yihao’s beautiful eyes were fixed on Mo Xueyan, she became furious. “I’ll definitely find out who your Third Sister is. If it’s fake, you can’t blame me for being vicious…”

“My Third Sister was the granddaughter of Fu General, the Third Miss in Mo Manor, Mo Xuetong. If you don’t believe me, you can send for her to answer your question.” Mo Xueyan didn’t dare to lift her head. And the maid behind her knelt on the ground and trembled.

Mo Xueyan had only seen misses from an official’s family. Never in her life had she seen a princess from a royal family. Her pride had already been turned into a weakness. When Fifth Princess asked, she almost answered it in a s.h.i.+vering voice. Just a moment ago, she was hiding away from Mo Xuetong, but now she hoped Mo Xuetong would find her soon.

“Mo Xuetong?” Fifth Princess looked at Bai Yihao with a vague smile, “Cousin, I heard that you had checked on this Third Miss Mo. I wonder how beautiful she can be to make you so gentle and caring.”

She seemed to be joking, but there was jealousy and hatred in her eyes.

Bai Yihao couldn’t smile anymore and said lightly, “Third Miss Mo’s cousin is my good friend. Now that this miss is Third Miss Mo’s older sister, we have a connection. Fifth Cousin should do me a favor and forgive her for being ill-mannered.”

Hearing that gentle voice begging for forgiveness for her, Mo Xueyan couldn’t help looking at Bai Yihao. That thin tall figure which was dressed in white made her confused. She didn’t have to ask to tell such a man was respected and dignified. Her heart began to beat wildly again.

Fifth Princess laughed out and leaned over. Then she teasingly looked at Mo Xueyan who was blank and Bai Yihao who was a bit disgusted, and lost the interest, “Since you said that you were willing to forgive her, I’ll do as you said. She’s just a poor ordinary girl.”

Her cousin would not notice such a girl!

After Mo Xueyan was driven away by several maids, Fifth Princess turned around and smiled to Bai Yihao, “Cousin, can you go to watch the lanterns with me on Lantern Festival? I heard that this year, the lanterns in Chang’an Street are more beautiful than those in the past years. Besides, there are s.h.i.+ps loaded with lanterns in the lake, which would be much more fun than in the past years.”

Bai Yihao smiled lightly, “It will still be a few days before the Lantern Festival. By then, if I have time, I’ll definitely go into the palace and play with you cousins on the street.” He was gentle all the time, and his behavior and words were always elegant. Even if he was trying to refuse others, it sounded so elegant and couldn’t arouse others’ anger.

Fifth Princess stomped on the ground and said coquettishly, “Cousin, I said you would accompany me, not the other sisters!” She didn’t want to bring along a big crowd of sisters with them. She was not the only princess in the palace who wanted to own this cousin. Sixth Princess looked gentle on usual days, but when she saw this cousin, she acted like that b.i.t.c.h just now.

As if he hadn’t seen the jealousy in Fifth Princess’s eyes, Bai Yihao lifted his lips and said slowly, “I can’t say for sure now. But by then if I have time, I’ll tell you. Now it’s not a good time to talk. I have to leave first. King Yan wanted me just now.”

His voice sounded quite clear and soft, which was like the sound of ice and jade clas.h.i.+ng. Such a tone, along with his distant temperament, couldn’t arouse Fifth Princess’s anger. Even if she saw him leaving without answering her questions, she just stepped hard on the ground and was angry at herself.

Lingyue smiled while trying to persuade her, “Princess, you don’t have to be angry with yourself. It’s all that woman’s fault. You can see that the minute you mentioned that Third Miss Mo, his att.i.tude changed.” At the same time, Lingyue crouched to rub the foot for her which was hurt when kicking.

Yes, it must be that girl. Or else her cousin wouldn’t beg for forgiveness for that poor girl!

Fifth Princess missed Bai Yihao so much that it almost drove her mad and she wanted to marry him as soon as possible. But now it seemed that he was farther and farther away from her. She couldn’t help feeling jealous. There was nothing she couldn’t get in the entire world and it was the same with her cousin. She had to own him and all the women who could win her affection must die!

Fifth Princess’s eyes were filled with coldness and jealousy, “Lingyue, you have to figure it out for me that where this Third Miss Mo is. I really want to meet this Third Miss Mo!”
