Chapter 236 - Write Them Down, Words Don’t Count (2/2)

In the end, he even dipped his finger into the ink and left his fingerprint in the margin.

Mo Huawen pointed to another margin and called Eunuch Wei, “Does Eunuch Wei want this too?”

Just now, Eunuch Wei talked so confidently, therefore, now he couldn’t back off. He rose at once, walked to it, and left his fingerprint in the margin as well.

When the ink slightly dried, Mo Huawen ordered a manservant to put it away in the study, while he led a few people to the backyard.

Earlier, a maidservant went back to the backyard to remind misses of the arrival of strangers and told them not to walk out of the room. It was not a big deal for the old Eunuch Wei to walk around the inner residence, however, Yu Feng was still a man. Though he claimed to be Auntie Fang’s brother, he wasn’t a proper relative before he and Auntie Fang went through a family reunion ceremony. Furthermore, a concubine’s brother was never really a relative.

Mo Xiu held a cup of tea and sent it to the inner room. “Miss, Sir Yu brought a eunuch into the house.” Inside the room, Mo Xuemin was not doing needlework. She cautiously spread the cloth bag and used a silver needle to test the powders in it. She asked Mo Xiu to put the teacup on the table and carefully shook the powders off the needle into the tea.

The powders melted into the water, but it remained transparent. There was nothing unusual. Mo Xuemin sniffed and didn’t smell anything funny either.

Mo Xuemin picked up the cup and slowly swirled the tea in it. The water slightly rippled but stayed crystal clear. She couldn’t hide the satisfaction on her face. “Has Auntie Fang come out?”

Mo Xiu’s eyes involuntarily fell on the teacup. Her body s.h.i.+vered and fear spread in her eyes. “Auntie Fang has been released. She’s heading to third miss’s Qingwei Garden with Sir Yu and that eunuch. I guess they’ll arrive at third miss’s place in less than the time of a cup of tea.”

Mo Xuemin smilingly pushed the tea in front of Mo Xiu, saying, “Since a eunuch from the palace is present, Father can’t solve this in private even if he wants to. Lucky for that wretched Mo Xuetong. She even attracts someone from the palace. Alright, I’ll let her enjoy the attention before she dies.”

Mo Xiu looked up in fear and shrank back in terror. She wrang her hands behind her back. “Miss, do I have to drink that?”

Mo Xuemin glanced at the fearful look on Mo Xiu’s face and suddenly felt funny. She covered her mouth with the handkerchief and smiled. “Don’t worry. You won’t die. Remember, if the thing is exposed, you should testify for Auntie Fang. Don’t mention my name in this, in any circ.u.mstances. I’ll, of course, have a cure for you. You see, Mo Xuetong has been using it for so many days and she doesn’t feel unwell. I guess I should say the drug really isn’t effective.”

Seeing Mo Xiu still s.h.i.+vering, frozen on the spot, Mo Xuemin suddenly changed her face and snapped. “Are you thinking about betraying me?”

Mo Xiu was startled and flopped to the ground to kneel. She grabbed Mo Xuemin’s feet and screamed. “I don’t dare, Miss, I don’t dare.”

“What are you doing? Do you want to kneel before me forever? With such a crying face, how can you finger the third sister later? Look, your face is ruined. It’s going to end up bad.” Suddenly, Mo Xuemin grinned. “The nephew of your brother is pretty. I wonder if such a little kid can stand a few cups of this drink.”

Her eyes fell on the drugged tea.

Mo Xiu was shaking even harder. “Miss, I’ll drink it. I’ll drink it now. Please, spare my nephew. He’s young and knows nothing.”

After that, she grabbed the teacup on the table to gulp it down. Because she drank it too quickly, some of the water spilled onto her clothes, and she clapped a hand over her mouth to suppress her violent cough.

A grim smile appeared by Mo Xuemin’s lips. Evident jealousy, endless hate, and satisfaction from a successful plot were reflected in her eyes. “Be careful. This is precious stuff. I don’t want you to waste it. I have to save more for Mo Xuetong in case she wants more. She’ll be miserable if she can’t either die or live, right?”

She wanted Mo Xuetong dead. She wanted that wretched woman to die. Not only this, she wanted her to die in pain and desperation…

The drug had no cure. It was the top poison in the world! If that wicked woman took it for another while, even immortals couldn’t save her!

A somewhat twisted smile registered on her slightly green and pale face. In Mo Xiu’s eyes, Mo Xuemin looked as hideous as an evil monster. She coughed in pain and turned around, tears streaming down her face. She had no other way. Her nephew was in the hand of the first miss. She couldn’t withdraw even if she wanted to.

If the first miss fed this to her nephew who just turned one year old, how could such a small kid stand this?

Like her parents, her brother had only one son as well. The entire family put their hope on her nephew. How did she dare to risk her nephew’s life?

For her nephew, she had to drag third miss into this. She hoped that when she entered the underworld to accompany the third miss, the miss wouldn’t blame her.
