Chapter 453 - The Letter from Mo Xueqiong (2/2)
“Alright, you can go first. I will wait at the back door at 3 and will not leave until I see Fourth Sister.” Mo Xuetong did not say anything else. She put down the letter and said lightly, “Tell your mistress that this is the last time I’m helping her. I will not meddle in her affairs in the future. If not for our father, I wouldn’t care how hard her life is.”
“Yes, thank you, My Lady. The Second Consort understands. She will owe you for the rest of her life and will not trouble you ever again. The Second Consort said that she will cultivate in the temple in the future and everything that happens in the secular world will be forgotten. She will pray for blessings for you in this life and the next.”
Mo Yan’s eyes flashed and she forced a smile on her lips. She kowtowed several times after pa.s.sing on Mo Xueqiong’s message.
Mo Xuetong waved her hands impatiently for Mo Yan to leave. She was not on good terms with Mo Xueqiong, and had done all of this because of their father, Mo Huawen.
Mo Yan left cautiously. When she left the courtyard and saw that there was only a maid who escorted her out, she sighed deeply. She straightened her back and wiped her sweat with a handkerchief. She had thought that the intelligent Third Miss had discovered something. However, it now seemed that Third Miss’s was still too soft-hearted.
She wouldn’t trouble Consort Xuan again next time? Of course not. When they met again, she did not know if Third Miss would be alive or dead. Even if she were alive, it was impossible that she would be Consort Xuan. Feeling satisfied, Mo Yan stepped forward with wide steps. She thought of the warm embrace before she came. She flushed and her heart jumped wildly. Her eyes sparkled as if spring had come and she left eagerly with the maid.
“Miss, Mo Yan is different now.” Mo Yu lifted the curtains and said despondently. She had sent Mo Yan to the corridor. The two used to be close but Mo Yu felt that Mo Yan was now a completely different person now.
“Oh, what do you think is different about her?” Mo Xuetong did not expect that the usually careless and sloppy Mo Yu also discovered that Mo Yu was different. Mo Xuetong put down the embroidery that she was working on and looked up with a smile.
“My Lady, look, Mo Yan used to be Fourth Miss’s personal maid. I heard that Fourth Miss would ask her about everything. It is obvious that she was highly regarded. But look at what’s happening now. Fourth Miss is no longer her mistress and is in trouble in King Yan’s Manor. I heard that she is miserable there right now. Even though Fourth Miss is vicious, she treats Mo Yan very well. Why is Mo Yan here, looking so nicely put together?”
Mo Yu waved away the smell by her nose scornfully. She said, “Look at the smell of her scented powder. Mo Yan did not use scented powder when she served Fourth Miss.”
It was not that Mo Yan did not use it. However, maids generally did not use things like that. They did not dress up or put on makeup lest others think that they wanted to seduce someone!
If one’s mistress was a young lady, dressing up like that would make others feel that the maid might get into bed with her mistress’s husband in the future. There was not a young lady who would take a maid who dressed up like so with her when she got married. A maid like that would be sent far far away. If the maid’s mistress was a madam, then the mistress would not want the maid even more so. The maid might just seduce the master of the house. Who would want a maid like that?!
Mo Xuetong’s eyes flashed when she heard what Mo Yu had to say. A smile appeared on her face as she teased Mo Yu, “Mo Yu, you are really knowledgeable. You’ve a.n.a.lyzed the situation very accurately. Mo Yan dressed up so prettily not for Mo Xueqiong, of course. Then, guess again, Mo Yu, who is Mo Yan dressing up for?”
All women want to look beautiful for their admirers and maids were no exception. Furthermore, this maid was of some use.
Mo Yu grew lively when she heard Mo Xuetong praising her. Her eyes grew thoughtful and then, suddenly widened as she asked, “My Lady, it can’t be that King Yan, can it? Why would Mo Yan do something like that? She looks like a smart person, why would she do something so silly?”
“Oh, why do you think so?” Mo Xuetong’s lively eyes were filled with mirth. “I knew that our Mo Yu is smart. Look, she realized something that was difficult to find out and she even feels bad for Mo Yan.”
Mo Lan, who just entered the room, laughed at that as well.
“My Lady, have you only just discovered that? Our Mo Yu is very smart. She only pretends to be silly in front of you. That girl is just too intelligent.”
Mo Yu flushed at that and she said sweetly, “My Lady, you only know how to tease others. You were the one who told me to continue but you’re teasing me now.”
“My Lady, do you want me to get someone to follow Mo Yan?” Mo Lan asked with a smile, directing the conversation back to the matter at hand.
“No need. This is not a good time to act rashly and alert the enemy. No matter who the man is, it is a fact that Mo Yan is no longer loyal to Mo Xueqiong. Even now, Mo Xueqiong still wants to plot against me. I really don’t know what she’s thinking.” Mo Xuetong said coldly and calmly.
Mo Lan knew that her mistress was different since she awoke in Cloud City. Mo Xuetong looked confident and Mo Lan could not help but smile at that. She nodded and said, “Yes, then I will not get people to watch Mo Yan. When we left the manor earlier, I saw that you did not give me any instructions, so I only got a maid to send her out.”
