Chapter 421 - Set A Trap. He Yufen Was Overjoyed (1/2)
“Well, elder sister, what’s wrong with you? Look at you! Where is your decent as a young lady? Then, don’t make senior uncle angry! Maybe he will replace you with a sister from the hometown.” He Yuxiu screamed exaggeratedly. Looking at the mess on He Yufen, He Yuxiu turned around her with a look of fuss.
He Yufen stopped and refuted immediately with an acid smile. “Even if I am replaced, I will not be replaced by second young sister. You’d better think about how to be the playboy’s wife now. As for other things, you don’t bother to worry about.”
If He Yufen’s current expression was exposed to the people in the King Xuan’s Manor, it would be a great shock to them, as she was not the gentle First Miss He as she usually pretended.
Her words stung He Yuxiu. He Yuxiu’s countenance changed instantly, and she gnashed the teeth in anger and said, “Don’t swagger. I’m afraid that you are not only unable to become the King’s consort, but also fail to marry a playboy. Perhaps, you have to go back…”
“Shut up!” Before she finished, she was interrupted severely!
In front of the moon-shaped courtyard door, the He’s brothers stood glumly at the door. Senior Master He looked sternly at the sisters. Then, the two sisters did not dare to quarrel any longer and just saluted them with a shudder.
“Why not prepare your dowry but be idle here?” Second Maser He looked at He Yuxiu coldly.
He Yuxiu was too scared to say a word, just saluted hurriedly and walked timidly to the path with her maidservant.
“What happened to you?” Senior Master He looked up and down at He Yufen’s embarra.s.sment and asked displeasedly.
“Father, I have something to tell you.” He Yufen was calmer than He Yuxiu. After letting out a long breath, He Yufen looked around the maidservants and servants, and recovered her gentleness.
“Come here.” Seeing that she had something to say, Senior Master He turned back and said coldly. The two masters walked to the room, without any manservant following them. He Yufen did not take her maidservant as well but just held her dirty skirt and followed anxiously…
It remained unknown what they had discussed, but in the following days, He Yufen still went to the King Xuan’s Manor restlessly, showing her determination that she would not stop until she reached her goal.
Mo Xuetong asked the servants to spread that she was ill. However, He Yufen still came to the manor every day, but was refused by the same excuse that Her Highness was ill. Today, she came to the manor again, and saw Mo Yu coming out of the manor anxiously. So He Yufen tipped her maidservant a wink, and the maidservant understood and came up hurriedly to ask, “Isn’t this Her Highness’s most competent a.s.sistant, Sister Mo Yu? Is there anything urgent for Sister Mo Yu in such a hurry?”
Being blocked, Mo Yu looked up and said angrily, “Get out of my way, and I am busy now!”
The maidservant did not take it seriously, but still asked tentatively with a smile, “Sister Mo Yu, you may need a carriage to go out. And our young lady happens to go back. Since you are in a hurry, why not take our young lady’s carriage?”
Prevailed by the words, Mo Yu stopped to look at the maidservant and then the small door, and asked with a frown, “Will your carriage go to the pharmacy?”
The maidservant rolled her eyes and answered smilingly, “It happens that there is a big pharmacy on our young lady’s way back home. It is said that the medicines of every description are available there, and the people are all experienced.”
“Then I’ll go with you.” Mo Yu nodded, and followed the maidservant into the carriage. Mo Yu paid a salute to He Yufen and sat on the shaft with the maidservant.
The carriage began to move slowly.
Seeing Mo Yu clenching a small packet in the hands, the maidservant pretended to ask inadvertently. “Sister Mo Yu, are you going to dispense medicines for Her Highness?”
“No!” Mo Yu answered simply, but then felt the answer was too harsh, so she immediately squeezed a smile and said, “Just some medicine needed to be checked in the pharmacy!” But the smile looked rather forced.
“What’s wrong? Are there too many medicinal materials in the manor, so Her Highness wants to sell some?” The maidservant asked more curiously. In the influential families, some of the medicinal materials could not be kept for a long time, so they would sell some and then purchase them back when necessary.
“No!” Mo Yu clenched her teeth without revealing anything, but was still unable to hide the paleness on her face.
He Yufen, who had been sitting in the carriage and listening to their talks, showed a slightly smugly smile on her face with a chilly joy in her eyes. Yesterday, her father told her to wait for the coming of the right time. As long as the time came, something would happen in King Xuan’s Manor. Now it seemed that something did happen in the manor now, otherwise, Mo Xuetong’s maidservant would not look so fl.u.s.tered and even could not have a carriage to go out.
And the most important was that on the way to the manor, He Yufen once saw Feng Yuran’s super-luxury carriage rus.h.i.+ng away.
And the carriage’s direction was the most famous brothel in the capital!
It did grip He Yufen’s imaginations!
Through the fluttering carriage curtain, He Yufen’s eyes fell on the small packet clenched in Mo Yu’s hands. Such a small packet would not contain much more than just a small cl.u.s.ter of tea or something. It seemed that Consort Zhao’s plan really worked. Although it was unknown why the matter was not escalated, it was obvious that King Xuan got angry, otherwise, he would not go to the brothel where he had not gone since his marriage.
As long as the discord emerged between King Xuan and Mo Xuetong, He Yufen thought she could avail herself of the opportunity to get in and won the cousin’s heart, then drove Mo Xuetong out of King Xuan’s Manor. As He Yufen dreamt of it smugly, Feng Yuran’s extremely charming face seemed to appear in front of her, which made her tighten up the hands holding the handkerchief and her heart hot. She could not restrain her overjoy!
