Chapter 353 Insistence by Jerk and b.i.t.c.h

Outside the garden, Mo Huawen stood there peacefully, sadness in his eyes.

She was an elder that he had respected for years, one that he was willing to forget the fact that it was not his birth mother. Even though she had planned to hurt Tong’er before, he did nothing to her due to the fact that he owed her for raising him up. He merely sent her to his brother’s house to prevent her from causing trouble and hurting herself.

He didn’t expect that everything was just a facade due to her father’s threat to this woman. If not for his father’s plans, he might have been long dead!

Everything that he saw was merely a facade. The peaceful and kind nature of the woman was merely for she dared not provoke him!

A slight cold smile on his face hid the sadness within. He had proper matters to attend to. Turning to look at You Yuecheng, he asked casually, “Why are you here, Second Young Master You?”

Old Madam didn’t expect Mo Huawen to be here. After the initial shock, a tinge of hatred flashed across her eyes as she remembered that the whole household was going to be beheaded. Mo Huawen’s crime had nothing to do with her as he was the son of the other woman and not her own. In the end, her husband did make the wrong decision!

A wave of hatred swept in her heart at that thought. Her husband must be tumbling in his grave to see his beloved son commit such a great sin.

You Yuelian’s eyes flickered and avoided Mo Huawen’s glance but he still came forth smiling. Even though Mo Huawen’s arrival was unexpected, the small booklet was great evidence and the scene was ideally set. Mo Huawen’s last struggles would mean nothing. He mustered his courage and answered, “Sir Mo, I came here to move Second Miss’ dowry but did not expect to find this little booklet. I shall bring this to His Majesty, Sir Mo, beware!”

He was proud and could not help but vocalize his joy.

Mo Xuetong snickered and walked forth slowly, holding Xu Yan’s hand.

Seeing Mo Huawen and Mo Xuetong’s calm demeanor, Xu Yan relaxed inadvertently too. She stared coldly at Old Madam with fury in her eyes. Even though Old Madam was long gone when she entered the house, those from the manor were still around. Even though no one was entirely clear of what had happened before, the bright Xu Yan was able to deduce from her servant’s words about the devious nature of the old lady.

However, she did not expect the old woman to be so malicious as to wish to eliminate the entire household.

“It seems that Second Young Master has great concern on Mo Xueyan’s dowry.” Mo Huawen explained coldly as he glanced at Mo Xueyan, disdain in his eyes. “However, why are you coming to my manor to move her dowries, instead of that of my second brother. I believe that my second brother is the one marrying her daughter to you, not me.”

His words turned from disdain to sharpness as he stared sternly at You Yuelian. He hurried over just now and was told the approximate circ.u.mstances of the matter. When he entered the main door, he didn’t appear instantly but took the time to listen to their conversation for a complete understanding of the situation. His pupils darkened. Even though he was gentle inside his house, he was sharp and fierce outside. As the lord mayor, he had seen many criminals and was not a friendly individual who could be easily dealt with.

He suppressed You Yuelian using his aura!

You Yuelian was a little uncomfortable as he tried to evade the stare of Mo Huawen. He found it difficult to answer the question as he did seem a little desperate to come over as a fiancé in obtaining the female dowry in her uncle’s house.

It’s not that Mingguo Manor wanted Mo Xueyan’s dowries as that was just an excuse for obtaining the small booklet in Mo Xueyan’s hand. The plan was to charge Sir Mo for bribery after having found the little booklet in the empty room of Old Madam, involving Mo Xuetong in the process.

Only with her death could Mo Xuetong’s marriage with King Xuan come to an end, stopping King Xuan from relying on Fu General Manor, Princess Royal, and Mo Huawen, who all had Mo Xuetong’s back. That would be like removing a limb from King Xuan, and was the precise reason for You Yuecheng and King Yan to set this plan.

However, it would be difficult for the two women to settle this matter. Even if they did obtain the booklet, Mo Manor could have kept its doors shut, preventing anyone from coming out. What could Mo Xueyan and Old Madam do if a random crime was just a.s.signed onto them?

Therefore, You Yuelian’s appearance was especially important. To prevent Mo Manor from acting desperately, You Yuecheng purposely arranged a few martial artists inside the servants to s.n.a.t.c.h for the booklet if Mo Manor attacked. If they obtained the booklet, the entire Mo Manor would be gone as the booklet he gave You Yuelian contained information linking to the missing silver in lianghu.

You Yuelian believed that the Emperor was mad now that the silver was still missing, and was waiting for more evidence to surface. If a related booklet was found in Mo Huawen’s manor, he would be more and less gone.

However, You Yuelian did not know that You Yuecheng only ordered his men to protect the booklet, even at the expense of the lives of others.

If something really did happen in Mo Manor, Mo Xueyan and he would die first!

“Uncle, Grandma gifted everything that she bought to me. Thus, I am here to move these objects as my dowries.” Mo Xueyan swayed the booklet in her hand as if protesting. She was afraid of Mo Huawen before this but the thought of Mo Manor’s execution made her less afraid.

“Grandma’s stuff? Second sister, surely you are spouting nonsense. Which one of the objects is grandma’s stuff? Second sister purposefully came here to frame Father. Do you know that framing a court official is punishable by death.” Mo Xuetong sn.i.g.g.e.red and raised her voice, speaking like a wind chime swaying in cold wind, her words sharp and sultry.
