Chapter 214 - Mo Xuemin’s Marriage was Determined (2/2)
He was so powerful and seemed to know all about the incident. But he still forced her to tell the disgracing truth in front of everyone to humiliate her!
Mo Xuemin deplorably screamed and held Mo Huawen’s clothes. “Father, it’s not me. I didn’t do anything horrible to my third sister. I didn’t do the things at the palace. I have nothing to do with Sima Lingyun… The reason why I went out that night was that I was in a bad mood… But I didn’t know why I ran into Sima Lingyun… Father, Father, I don’t want to marry him.”
Her body trembled severely and faintly fell on the ground. She murmured, “I won’t marry him. I will never marry him.”
“It’s too late. If you knew it would end up like this, why did you do that?” Mo Huawen replied coldly and threw out a sachet which fell in front of Mo Xuemin. “The Empress gave this to me and asked me to punish you. An unmarried girl should have dignity for herself and shouldn’t have ignored the rules and had an improper affair with a man.”
The sachet directly fell in front of Mo Xuemin. The exquisite images, which included the fish playing around lotus leaves, the lotus leaves, and the lotus blooms, all seemed to be ironically looking at Mo Xuemin with a pink smiling face.
Why would the sachet appear again? Shouldn’t it have been taken back? At the Repayment Temple, when they threw it back, Mo Jin picked it back for her. Mo Jin. Yes, it was Mo Jin…
Mo Xuemin widened her round eyes which were filled with desperation. Her hoa.r.s.e voice carried uncontrollable emotion. “Father, no, Father, it’s fake. I don’t want to marry Sima Lingyun. I would rather die than marry Sima Lingyun. Please help me refuse him.”
She trembled and tried hard to stand up. She was mumbling, and she held the sachet in her hand as if she wanted to tear the content apart.
“Then you can die!” Mo Huawen said indifferently and went out of the yard.
He would rather he hadn’t had such a daughter. She had had improper relations with Sima Lingyun and framed Tong’er with Auntie Fang. The old man and carter who had framed Tong’er by the gate of the palace had all confessed. Mo Huawen couldn’t imagine that his first daughter, who was always his pride, would be so evil.
Although there was no sound evidence for what happened at the palace, everyone knew it was related to Mo Xuemin. Especially, what happened between her and Sima Lingyun was known to all. Mo Huawen no longer held any trust in this daughter. Maybe it’s the best result to let her marry into the decaying Duke Zhenguo’s manor!
If she had high self-esteem, she could die and end the terrible relations.h.i.+p between Mo Manor and Duke Zhenguo’s manor. By then he would have a reason to defend her and keep her name untainted. Then he could let Sima Lingyun take the blame.
Therefore, when Mo Huawen left, he reminded n.o.body to care about the accommodations and safety of Mo Xuemin. If she still cared about her reputation, she should protect her reputation and die to prove her innocence…
Behind him came Mo Xuemin’s uncontrollable shouts and cries…
Where it was sad and miserable at Mo Manor, it was quite different at Duke Zhenguo’s manor. The d.u.c.h.ess at Duke Zhenguo’s manor happily looked at Sima Lingyun who had just been released from the jail in Ministry of Justice. The minute Mo Huawen received the edict from the Empress, the d.u.c.h.ess also got one from the Empress, which were both secretly released.
Anyway, it was a scandal, so the Empress could only secretly solve it and suppress it down to the minimum level in case it disgraced the dignity of the royalty. As for whether there was a secret affair between them or not, it was very obvious. There was a sachet and so many people testified for it, so they couldn’t deny it!
Along with the Empress’s edict was a white jade ruler from the Empress, which were delivered to the d.u.c.h.ess at the same time. It meant the d.u.c.h.ess should strictly punish and discipline them. It made the d.u.c.h.ess happy that she finally found a way to vent her anger. The little b.i.t.c.h, Mo Xuemin, actually wanted to push all the fault onto Yun’er and let him take all the responsibility. Additionally, Mo Xuemin even contradicted her.
When she entered the manor in the future, she would let Mo Xuemin suffer.
Looking at Sima Lingyun’s pale face, the d.u.c.h.ess hated Mo Xuemin even more, “Son, did anyone hurt you inside? Is there anything wrong?” In the d.u.c.h.ess’s eyes, Mo Xuemin was an emotionless little b.i.t.c.h. When she married into the marry, the d.u.c.h.ess would treat her harshly.
Sima Lingyun coughed a bit. “Mother, there is nothing wrong. Just the food there wasn’t so good.” When he was caught in, he wasn’t in good health. Although the people in the jail in Ministry of Justice treated him nicely, he couldn’t relax when thinking about these problems.
They planned the entire thing together, but in the end, the blame was pushed all on himself alone. He also heard from his mother that she had begged Mo Xuemin to testify for him but was refused without hesitation. Mo Xuemin also drove his mother out, which annoyed Sima Lingyun a lot. When thinking that this evil woman would marry him and be with him for his whole life, Sima Lingyun was terribly worried.
He couldn’t marry a kind, beauty, and useful girl but that evil mean woman!
Sima Lingyun also didn’t want to resign himself to it.
But now in this situation, this would be the best solution. Otherwise, he would have no other choice but to take the blame and accusation. Thinking about that Mo Xuemin only cared about herself, there was a sign of grimness in Sima Lingyun’s eyes. It was of no other use for him to marry this evil woman except for solving the current dilemma.
He didn’t want to do such a thing which was obviously not cost-efficient…
