Chapter 214 Mo Xuemin’s Marriage was Determined

The things that happened in the palace were mostly connected with Mo Manor, but people in Mo Manor didn’t know about it.

Mo Xuemin even knew less about it. She was pretending to be reflecting and even hadn’t got out of the yard. She was also nice to the maids and nannies. Even Mo Xiu seemed to see the gentle kind First Miss who had appeared to be before Mo Xuetong’s arrival.

Mo Xuemin thought it thoroughly and knew she had to stay humble these days and would have a chance to go back again after Sima Lingyun got punished and that incident was forgotten. Besides, she had other plans and she didn’t believe that she couldn’t defeat Mo Xuetong if she tried her best.

With Fifth Princess backing her up, Mo Xuetong would be no big deal.

However, out of her expectation, Mo Huawen rushed into her yard that night and coldly put an edict from the Empress in front of her.

Mo Xuemin lifted her face up and asked confusedly, “Father…”

Mo Huawen didn’t have any hope in this daughter anymore. He just pointed at the edict and said, “You can see for yourself!”

Today when he got into the imperial palace, at the royal study, he saw not only the Emperor but also the Empress. The Empress smilingly asked him about it and defended Mo Xuemin, saying that it was not easy for a concubine’s daughter to fall in love with Duke Zhenguo’s heir. Therefore, he shouldn’t baffle them anymore but help them!

He was so angry that he almost lost control and tried to explain.

However, the Empress let a maidservant present him with a sachet smilingly, on which wrote Min from Mo Xuemin’s name. It made Mo Huawen speechless. He had nothing to say with proof in hand. Thinking of that Sima Lingyun had a relations.h.i.+p with both Auntie Fang and Mo Xuemin, he felt so disgusted as there was a fly in his stomach.

Although the Empress didn’t say anything directly and just said she would help Mo Xuemin and make her the main wife in Duke Zhenguo’s Manor, she couldn’t give the edict directly and could only secretly send the edict to Sima Manor and Mo Manor to decide the marriage. Luo Xia had only been dead for two years, so Mo Xuemin still had a year to prepare. They could get married when everything was settled, which wouldn’t disgrace them.

Mo Huawen didn’t know how he had taken the Empress’s edict and got out of the palace. He just felt that everyone was making fun of him and had no mood to deal with the affairs. He went back to the manor and got into Mo Xuemin’s yard directly.

If it were in the past, Mo Huawen would care for her if he saw Mo Xuemin’s pale face and feeble posture. But now, Mo Huawen just felt furious about it and thought she was pretending to be pitiful like Auntie Fang. They both had fake masks.

The more you looked at it, the more disgusted you got.

Mo Xuemin didn’t know the reason why Mo Huawen’s face darkened. She picked up the edict from the Empress. After she read it clearly, she was astonished and screamed. “Father, why? I don’t want to marry Sima Lingyun.”

Why would the Empress order her to marry Sima Lingyun? She didn’t want to fall with Sima Lingyun and Duke Zhenguo’s manor. She still had a long way to go and would become the main wife of Ming General’s heir. She wasn’t willing to be connected with the decayed Duke Zhenguo’s manor.

Looking at Mo Huawen, she delicately shook her head and looked desperate. She wept while she talked, “Father, I don’t want to marry into Duke Zhenguo’s manor or be an heir’s main wife. I just want to accompany you, father, please help me.” She suddenly knelt down and started to cry. What a weeping beauty!

Mo Huawen asked indifferently, “Have you finished your words?”

Mo Xuemin lifted her head and looked extremely wronged.

“Now that you’re finished, you can tell me what happened that night. Why did you frame your younger sister at the palace with Sima Lingyun? And why did you stay with Sima Lingyun again out of the palace?”

“Father…” Mo Xuemin was shocked and her face instantly turned pale. She almost toppled over. Mo Huawen’s words were like a sudden thunder and made her almost fall. She unbelievably looked at Mo Huawen and quivered her lips. She made many efforts but couldn’t say a word. Her cherry lips began to turn pale.

She didn’t dare to talk about that night!

These days, Mo Huawen hadn’t asked her about it. Even when he asked implicatively, he would consider her feelings and had only punished the nanny who had let her out. She had thought if Sima Lingyun couldn’t explain it clearly, it would be settled. Her father would consider her dignity as an unmarried girl, and some problems could be ignored.

Mo Xuemin was definitely smart enough and knew the minds of men.

But now she was wrong!

When a father was annoyed and thought his woman was seduced by a man who would even marry his daughter, his dignity and pride as both a man and a father got him out of control. His face seemed cold now. When he was looking at Mo Xuemin, there was no care in his eyes as if he were interrogating a criminal.
