Chapter 337 You Yuecheng Exerts Pressure on Duke Zhenguo’s Manor
Sima Lingyun felt that Duke Zhenguo’s Manor had not only failed to prosper after he had gotten together with the s.l.u.t Mo Xuemin, but the Manor had even fallen further into ruins. He was embarra.s.sed more and more and was too embarra.s.sed to meet anyone. Sima Lingyun shook with anger whenever he thought of that.
He was determined to have the adulterous pair pay today.
“Brother Sima, Brother Sima, listen to me.” You Yuelian was truly panicking now. He held Sima Lingyun’s hand and dragged him backward. He knew that Sima Lingyun was mad. Sima Lingyun’s eyes were red as he glared at Mo Xuemin and You Yuelian. He looked as if he wanted to eat them up.
Mo Xuemin refused to see a judge. If she did, she had no other way out than to be drowned. She was the wife of a marquess but she had been found with a man in a state of undress in broad daylight. How could she possibly have a way out alive? She did not care that her scalp was hurtling like there were needles piercing it. She struggled to lay on the floor. She grabbed a pillar close to her and refused to move.
It was a chaotic scene between the three and the servants standing beside them were a mess as well. They did not know what to do. Someone came up to persuade them to let go, others came to pull them away. There were a few sly ones who took the opportunity to touch Mo Xuemin while her clothes were messed up.
“What’s going on?” An icy cold voice could be heard from the entrance. The cold and sharp aura immediately caused everyone involved in the tussle in the living room to look up in surprise. You Yuecheng stood coldly at the entrance of the sitting room. He looked furious and his eyes were icy cold. The coldness in his eyes made Sima Lingyun shudder and he could not help but let go.
His mind slowly began to work normally again.
You Yuelian and Mo Xuemin could not help but sigh in relief when they saw You Yuecheng.
“Who’s going to tell me what happened?” You Yuecheng’s gaze swept coldly from You Yuelian to Sima Lingyun, and then to Mo Xuemin. His lips curled up coldly. He flicked his sleeves behind him and strode into the living room. He did not stop and was filled with hatred, anger, and some indescribable emotion.
He sat in a daze in the study ever since he found out that the three Mo sisters were heading toward the Repayment Temple. He read but did not flip a single page. His mind was filled with the scene of a horse carriage flipping over and people dying. His mind was filled with the sweet beautiful face. Even though it was hateful and annoying, he could not stop recalling it. His hand, which was on the desk, clenched into fists.
Mo Xuetong marrying King Xuan would make King Xuan even more powerful. King Xuan had not been punished while the other two princes were rebuked. This put King Yan, Feng Yulei into danger. Furthermore, Emperor Zongwen said that Mo Xuetong’s and Feng Yuran’s birth dates were a good match. The imperial astronomer also said that Mo Xuetong would bring blessings to the family when she got married. The probability of Feng Yuran getting better was very high.
As such, he had to stop Mo Xuetong from marrying Feng Yuran no matter what would happen. It would stop Feng Yuran’s progress and prevent Mo Xuetong from bringing luck to her husband!
Emperor Zongwen had King Xuan’s manor guarded extremely well. King Yan’s man could not enter at all. If they wanted to stop the marriage from taking place, they could only work from the Mo Manor’s angle. As long as Mo Xuetong was dead, the marriage would not take place. Feng Yuran might even die. King Yan liked to see that this would kill two birds with one stone.
Feng Yulei and You Yuecheng began to plot to have the other two sisters of the Mo Manor push Mo Xuetong off the speeding horse carriage. Mo Xuetong’s weak body would not be able to make it.
Even if someone were to find out in the end, they would only find that the Mo sisters killed the legitimate Mo daughter and it had nothing to do with the marriage. No one would think that there was someone plotting all of this, and it would not implicate King Yan.
Coincidentally, Mo Xuemin sent someone to feel out You Yuecheng then and You Yuecheng went with it. He agreed to find a way to change how Mo Xuemin looked and to have her enter the Mingguo Manor and be his concubine once Mo Xuetong died. On the other side, they got Mo Xueqiong to see King Yan in private and had You Yuelian tell Mo Xueyan that King Yan liked Mo Xueqiong. They got Mo Xueyan to give Mo Xueqiong the ice silk handkerchief and to say that it was a pity.
If Mo Xueqiong could not marry King Yan, then he would take Mo Xueqiong as a second consort!
The Mo Manor was not that n.o.ble and there could not be two daughters who married into the royal family! If Third Miss Mo did not exist, then…
You Yuecheng had planned everything out neatly and led Mo Xuetong to her death step by step. In the end, he had even led the horse carriage toward a mountain path and tried to send all three women to their deaths. If Mo Xuemin and Mo Xueqiong all died, then there would not be a culprit for this case. No one would think that the matter had anything to do with King Yan and the Mingguo Manor.
However, he realized that he felt very fl.u.s.tered when he really enacted the plan. He did not know why her beautiful face kept appearing in his mind. The face that evoked feelings of hatred and pain kept appearing. He felt panicked when he thought of that now. If that girl were to die and be pushed off the speeding horse carriage, she would not live.
He sat in the study on tenterhooks for the entire morning. You Yuecheng did not even eat lunch and his servant, who had never seen him get angry, was given a thorough scolding. Then, You Yuecheng drove the servant out and paced around in the study, frustrated. He could not stop and felt anxious. It was as if there were something weighing down on his heart and he could not breathe.
Could it be because the la.s.s was too annoying that he could not wrap his mind around the fact that she was about to die?
While he was pacing around confusedly, his servant ran in and yelled that something was wrong. Second Young Master was tied up together with Marquess Zhenguo’s wife outside Duke Zhenguo’s Manor.
His frustration dissipated immediately and You Yuecheng immediately realized that something was wrong!
He had sent You Yuelian to send word to Mo Xueqiong and he had not returned all night. You Yuelian also knew that as long as he did not go to brothels openly, You Yuecheng would turn a blind eye to it.
Why was he with Mo Xuemin? And why was he tied up with his clothes in disarray? Didn’t Mo Xuemin go to hurt Mo Xuetong? Did something happen?
You Yuecheng could not be bothered to think too much then. He hurried to Duke Zhenguo’s Manor. The guards behind him pushed the servants guarding the manor gates away so that they could not report his arrival. Then, he strode into the sitting room. No matter what had happened, they must not allow this matter to blow up. Something must have happened where Mo Xuetong was. He did not expect that the sly la.s.s might not be dead. You Yuecheng suddenly felt relaxed in the fl.u.s.ter.
“Eldest Brother, I don’t know what happened. I was outside Duke Zhenguo’s Manor when I woke up and was tied up with the Marquess’ wife.” You Yuelian heaved a sigh of relief when he saw You Yuecheng. He had always followed after You Yuecheng. When he saw You Yuecheng, it was as if he saw his master and he shook his sweaty head and spoke urgently to him.
