Chapter 464 - Failure, and yet Another Scandal From King Yans Manor (1/2)

Her chest heaved with anger. Everyone could see that she was furious.

“Your Highness, if you do not believe me, you can take a look at the letter that Second Consort sent to My Lady last night. The letter stated that you would definitely come today. It stated that Puguang Temple is where Your Highness’s mother’s memorial tablet is located…”

Feng Yulei’s expression grew furious when he heard Mo Ye mentioning again and again that his biological mother’s memorial tablet was at Puguang Temple. He interrupted Mo Ye loudly and said angrily, “There’s no need. Men, take this trash away and beat her to death!”

“Your Highness, please. I didn’t. Second Consort looks like that, why would I be interested in her. Your Highness… Your Highness…” The little manservant was dragged away. He pleaded incoherently with despair and screamed as he was dragged away. The prince had no intention of questioning him in the first place.

Everyone looked at King Yan doubtfully.

King Yan had married a woman whom even his manservant was not interested in. He even made the woman his Second Consort. King Yan was truly…

Mo Xueqiong was dragged away by two other guards by her arms. The fear of dying made her grasp at everything in her reach. She yelled crazily, “Your Highness, My Lady, please, spare me.”

She reached out to grab at everything in her reach and struggled with all she had. Her legs suddenly caught hold of something and she wrapped her legs around it while grasping at it with her arms. Her only desire was that she could stop herself from being dragged away. Perhaps she struggled too much or the guards did not expect the woman to reach this state and be so strong. She managed to wrench an arm out of the guard’s hold.

“Mo Yan, Mo Yan, save me.” Mo Xueqiong was so afraid that her mind was blank. She saw Mo Yan lying on the ground beside her and lunged at Mo Yan. Mo Xueqiong grabbed Mo Yan’s clothes and screamed, behaving like a mad person.

Mo Yan, who laid on the ground unconscious, was dragged up by Mo Xueqiong. The pool of blood at her lower body was revealed.

“Ahh! Someone’s dead. Someone’s been beaten to death!”

“Look, look, there’s so much blood.”

“That’s too scary. It’s real. It’s real!”

“They really beat someone to death!” Some of the maids screamed in fear when they saw the blood on Mo Yan. They had never seen anything like this before.

“Did anyone bring their physician with them? Can you please help to take a look at her?” Mo Xuetong took a few steps forward and curtsied at the n.o.blewomen and ladies.

Some wealthy families would hire family physicians because of the weak const.i.tution of the women in their families. Some family physicians would go out with their mistresses when they went out on excursions since they were worried that the women might faint because they were poor in health.

“Consort Xuan, I brought a physician with me.” A woman answered.

Mo Xuetong curtsied politely.

Another death happened at the scene and the maid was beaten up by Mo Xuetong’s maid. You Yue’e looked around and had an idea. She waved her hand and the two guards backed away, leaving behind the crazy Mo Xueqiong who tugged on Mo Yan for dear life. She looked as if she were grasping at straws.

The physician went up and saw that things were not looking good. He asked two maids at the side to slightly curb Mo Xueqiong’s crazy behavior before reaching out to take Mo Yan’s pulse. After a moment, the physician put Mo Yan’s wrist down and stood up. His expression was slightly awkward.

“Physician, what’s the matter. Is the maid going to die?” You Yue’e asked, looking concerned. She had a slight smile on her face. Anyway, the maid had been beaten to death by Mo Xuetong’s maid. If anything were to happen, it would be Mo Xuetong’s fault for allowing her servant to beat another maid to death. They could make enough trouble for Mo Xuetong just with that.

She had thought that their plans were completely for naught today. However, she did not expect things to take a sudden turn. You Yue’e felt slightly relieved. It was good that this happened. At least Mo Xuetong wouldn’t be able to get away.

“This…” The physician hesitated and then frowned.

An older female servant asked with a delighted smile after receiving a look from You Yue’e. She said, “Physician, it’s alright for you to say it. She is just a pitiful maid and seems loyal. Her mistress is now in this state and she is about to die. Alas, this is really fate!”

The old maid looked as if she felt bad for Mo Yan and pitied her. She shook her head and wiped the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief.

Mo Xuetong watched the performance by You Yue’e and her maid. Her bright eyes grew cold. You Yue’e still did not forget to blame her for the death of a maid at a time like this. Even though Feng Yulei was standing by the side and did not seem to be moving at all, his eyes turned to look at them. His focus was on Mo Yan and he seemed thoughtful. The fake anger on his expression lessened as well.

It was such a pity, but King Yan’s Manor was destined to be embarra.s.sed today.

The physician was put in a tight spot and could only shake his head and said, “No, the maid is two months pregnant. She’s about to miscarry.” He had been forced to say that. This was truly a scandal for the royal family. Fortunately, there were so many people who heard him. King Yan wouldn’t kill him to shut him up, would he!

The physician heaved a secret sigh of relief.

Everyone started chattering when they heard what the physician said.
