Chapter 231 - When Trash Meets Trash, Meeting Lan Xinru (2/2)

Didn’t the Mo Manor chase her out! She would not let them off so easily. She heard that the man hugging her was going to marry Mo Xuemin. She would steal his affections away from her and make Mo Xuemin sad. She would make Mo Huawen regret throwing her out.

She had blamed her dire circ.u.mstances entirely on the Mo Manor. However, she had never considered that she deserved if. Otherwise, why would she be in her current predicament?

In Qingwei Garden.

Mo Xuetong sat in front of the window, flipping through the medical text that Feng Yuran gave her. There were diagrams in the book and it was easy to understand.

It was quiet in the room and only the sounds of pages being flipped could be heard. It was in the middle of winter but the room was warm. Mo Xuetong let her hair loose and laid on the couch.

“Miss, you can sleep first or you might hurt your eyes.” Mo Lan entered the room softly and chided Mo Xuetong when she saw that she was still reading. Mo Lan brought her a cup of tea.

“It’s alright. I will go to bed in a while. Is Mo Yu back yet?” Mo Xuetong looked up with a small smile. She felt a little tired after hearing what Mo Lan said and she leaned back into the couch.

“Mo Yu has just returned. She has to find a place for her distant aunt to stay in. However, the First Prince of Yan Kingdom is coming so security is very strict these few days. No one can guarantee that they can really rent a room.” Mo Lan smiled and helped to put another cus.h.i.+on behind Mo Xuetong’s back.

Mo Yu’s distant aunt was coming to find a job in the city. However, the lunar new year was not yet over and there were not many places that were hiring. She might as well stay in the city first. Mo Yu’s mother asked Mo Yu to find her aunt a place to stay, so Mo Yu went out in the afternoon and only just came back. It seemed that it was difficult to find a place.

“Why did the First Prince of Yan come so quickly? Didn’t they just mention it a few days ago?” Mo Xuetong frowned. The matter was only brought up before the new year. Judging by the distance, the First Prince had come very quickly. It was as if he had not been in the Yan Kingdom. How did he get here so quickly? It was not as if he was visiting for any request, so what made the First Prince come so quickly?

It was said that the First Prince of the Yan Kingdom was born to the first Empress of Yan. He was the eldest and also the legal son. However, no one knew why Bai Yihao became the Crown Prince. What was weird was that holding hostage sons was just a superficial matter, yet the Yan Kingdom had sent their n.o.ble Crown Prince to Qin. They were not afraid that anything untoward might happen to their Crown Prince and the Yan Kingdom would have to choose another Crown Prince.

Of course, Mo Xuetong knew that that would not happen. With Bai Yihao’s capabilities, he could totally protect himself. However, the problem was that was the Yan Emperor not at all worried that something untoward might happen to his chosen heir in Qin? The Yan Emperor had more than one son. Other than his first legal son, he had a second legal son and also many other descendants. So why did he choose Bai Yihao to come to Qin?

“Miss, it is said that this prince came here so quickly because he wants to come for the consort-choosing. There were rumors that the First Prince is here to marry a wife. Only if the two countries are in good relations will we stop fighting.” Mo Lan said with a smile and pushed the candle towards Mo Xuetong.

This meant that the consort the First Prince of Yan wanted did not have to be a princess?

Why!

Mo Xuetong rubbed her head and decided not to think about these matters. No matter what, the Yan Kingdom was too far away from her and had nothing to do with her. It was reasonable for her to not partic.i.p.ate in the consort-choosing in Qin that many girls were excited about if she did not want to, much less something that involved the Yan Kingdom.

She was still in mourning for her mother, so it was reasonable for her to not partic.i.p.ate in it. As long as the Emperor did not ask for her personally, it had nothing to do with her.

Mo Xuetong put down her book and stretched lazily. She looked at the flickering flames and smiled softly. She said, “Go and see if Mo Yu’s eaten. If not, heat up the food we left for her tonight. Rest early after eating. There are still things for us to handle.”

“I have already gotten someone to heat the food up. Do not worry, Miss. You’d better go to bed first. Mo Ye said that Mo Xiu has already entered Lihua Garden according to plan. Things will probably blow up in the next few days. The Empress’ marriage decree has already come to us, First Miss can’t wait any longer.” Mo Lan answered with a smile. She brought over a leg warmer and placed it in Mo Xuetong’s blankets.

Mo Xuetong’s leg curled upon touching the heated stove. She felt warm and toasty and reached over to snuggle by it. Even her blankets were soft and warm. She said, “How goes Father’s bridal price preparation? Since Auntie has lowered her status to marry Father as his second legal wife, we must not treat her unfairly. Mother left some things behind, take them and bring them to Father.”

Mo Huawen had been preparing the bridal price for the past few days. He did not prepare much because he was taking a second legal wife. Furthermore, Mo Huawen had done it himself. He was a man and did not know much. Mo Xuetong who had been married in her past life knew more than him. Sima Lingyun had prepared an extremely luxurious bridal price as a show of respect to her.

“Rest a.s.sured, Miss. I already brought the things that you organized to Old Sir’s courtyard yesterday. I even told the servants to clean the courtyard up.” Mo Huawen had his own courtyard. However, he did not stay there, so it had stayed empty. Since he was taking a new wife, they would naturally stay in the courtyard. It was best for them to stay there. Mo Huawen had told Mo Xuetong that he was going to stay there. As such, Mo Xuetong decided to bring in some suitable decorations.

“He Xia moved out these few days. Mo Yu is looking for a place to rent today, so we might as well get her to find He Xia another room. It is going to be busy in the manor these few days and I’m afraid that someone might discover her.” Mo Xuetong said seriously to Mo Lan after thinking about it. She felt, for some reason, that He Xia must not be discovered.

“Alright, I will tell Mo Yu later. Miss, rest a.s.sured. Auntie Fang will not strike tomorrow for sure. We still have time.” Mo Lan said rea.s.suringly.

Mo Xuetong nodded and laid down slowly. Her long lashes fluttered. She wanted to say something but did not in the end. Mo Lan blew out the candles and left the room quietly, closing the doors softly behind her
