Chapter 501 - If You Could Be More Obedient to Me (2/2)

“a.s.sa.s.sins also went to Fu General Manor?” Mo Xuetong’s beautiful eyes widened as she looked at Feng Yuran in shock.

“Yes. a.s.sa.s.sins are getting bolder and bolder. Don’t they know who the Four Great Manors are? How dare they do that? By the way, the masters of all the yards are not badly hurt. However, Third Brother has his hand broken, and Consort Yan has her leg broken. It’s such a pity. There isn’t even a person who can manage King Yan’s Manor right now.”

It sounded as if Feng Yuran was worried about Feng Yulei. However, according to the relaxed and lazy expression on his handsome face, he did not seem worried at all.

“Your Highness, are you gloating?” Mo Xuetong pursed her lips.

Feng Yuran laughed out loud and walked over. He picked a lotus-shaped hairpin from Mo Xuetong’s dressing table and stuck it on her dark hair. Then, he looked at it from the left and the right and seemed to be satisfied. After that, he pulled her to her feet and walked her out of the bedroom.

Since there were many maids in the room, Mo Xuetong was a little shy. She glanced at him from the corner of her eyes, but did not avoid him. She allowed him to pull her hand, and felt at ease at this moment. No matter what happened, she felt especially safe and secure as long as he was by her side.

The breakfast had already been prepared in the dining room. Mo Xuetong sat down and considered for a moment before she asked, “What excuse have you given for not attending to business this time?”

In actuality, Mo Xuetong wanted to ask him if it was really alright, since he had been so busy recently and now he suddenly didn’t care about it.

Feng Yuran took over the bowl of porridge from a maid and placed it in front of Mo Xuetong. Then, he said with a casual smile, “Last night, when the a.s.sa.s.sins rushed into my yard, I was beside my fainted wife. I was so worried that it was too late to dodge when I saw the a.s.sa.s.sins coming. I got injured. Father will send a physician later to see to my injuries.”

Was he really injured? Mo Xuetong looked at him suspiciously. She did not find that he was injured last night.

Feng Yuran immediately beamed when he saw Mo Xuetong holding the bowl and blankly staring at him worriedly and disbelievingly. She looked cute and pretty. He reached out his hand to pinch her delicate nose and saw her pink lips pouting unhappily. Then he laughed and responded, “Don’t worry. If I say I got injured, I indeed got injured.”

“Are you really okay?”

“I’m fine!” Feng Yuran said, grinning.

“Did you find the Crown Prince of the Southern Barbarian Lands? If you can’t find him, something will definitely happen. Is that okay as well?” Mo Xuetong was still worried. The Southern Barbarian Lands was like a thorn in her heart, making her uncomfortable. As long as she heard something about the Southern Barbarian Lands, she couldn’t help but feel nervous.

This originated from what had happened in her last life—she had lost track of Feng Yuran since he went to the Southern Barbarian Lands.

When she thought that he might be in danger, missing or had an accident in the Southern Barbarian Lands, she became extremely nervous. She had been on tenterhooks for fear that he would have too much to do with that lands, and that he might walk on the same path as he did in the last life.

“Don’t worry. The Crown Prince of the Southern Barbarian Lands has been weak for so many years, but he is fine, which shows that he must not be a pushover. I know what to do. Don’t think too much. Just take care of yourself.” Feng Yuran placed a few pieces of pickled cuc.u.mbers in her bowl. When he saw Mo Xuetong pick them up and eat them, his eyes lit up.

Mo Xuetong rolled her watery eyes and immediately understood what he meant.

It was said that the Crown Prince of the Southern Barbarian Lands had always been in poor health, and his mother had died when he was a child. He had since been brought up by the new Empress who had been doted upon by the Emperor. However, he was still the Crown Prince, which meant that he was not a simple person. For some reason, Mo Xuetong thought of Bai Yihao. If the Crown Prince was someone like Bai Yihao, he would not have gotten into an accident in the Qin Kingdom so easily. And the fact that there was no news about him was good news.

Even though she understood, Mo Xuetong still asked gently, “Are you really alright?” Her eyes were fixed on him to catch every emotion leaking out of the corner of his eye.

However, the man held a bright charm in the corner of his eye. He looked at her and nodded with ease. “I’m alright. If you could be more obedient to me, I’ll be fine.”

Mo Xuetong was speechless. She picked up the bowl of porridge by her side and took two swigs forcefully.

These words were considered normal. Mo Xuetong only said that because she was concerned about Feng Yuran. She was a little worried because she did not know the details of the Southern Barbarian Lands. However, when she saw Feng Yuran’s actions and his reasonable expression, Mo Xuetong felt that she somehow wanted to bite him.

She was in a hurry as if in the fire, but he was leisurely as if in the water.

Feng Yuran immediately burst into laughter when he saw Mo Xuetong was so depressed that she could not even speak.

Unlike the seductive and charming appearance he always displayed, he was truly happy right now. Gentleness could be seen from the corners of his eyes, and there was a hint of vigor in his pure smile that made him look simple and relaxed. That smile on Feng Yuran’s handsome face was dazzling and bright.

Even Mo Xuetong, who was as calm as she was, could not help but feel a little dizzy as she saw his lively smile.

This man was really too handsome! He was born with the ability to enchant women.

This reminded her of He Yufen. The first miss of the He family would marry into the manor in a few days.

She was just a concubine and it was a trivial matter in the manor. Feng Yuran did not have anyone to pick a time and instead he just sent someone to the He family to inform them. He fixed the date at random. When the time came, he would send a small sedan chair to carry her over. And that day was coming.

Mo Xuetong pouted when she thought of He Yufen was about to enter. She said, “The new concubine will enter the manor in a few days. Don’t you get someone to clean a yard up to keep her?”

“Why do you sound a little jealous!” Feng Yuran smiled even more happily. His eyes narrowed slightly. He was in a good mood that could not be described in language.

“Jealous? I’m just asking. Don’t say that our manor has treated her badly, causing Consort Zhao to come out to question us.” Mo Xuetong felt full. She put down the bowl and wiped her lips with a handkerchief, refusing to eat any more porridge.
