Chapter 510 - The Lovable Ling Mingyan (2/2)

Mo Xuetong didn’t answer, but smiled thoughtfully, and said to Mo Ye who was standing aside. “Mo Ye, ask Mo Feng to go after them.”

Mo Ye received her order.

“My Lady, is there anything wrong with that lady?” asked Mo Yu who had just taken a tea set from a waiter at the door and was pouring tea for Mo Xuetong.

“There are not many women in the capital, whose manner is more imposing than Ling Mingyan’s!” Mo Xuetong blinked swiftly. There was a trace of a smile tugging at her lips, making her look smart. She took the teacup from Mo Yu and took a slight sip of it.

Ling Mingyan used to be the legitimate daughter of Ding General Manor, and now was His Excellency’s wife in Mingguo Manor. No matter what her ident.i.ty was, she was as honorable as the daughter of the royal family, and even more honorable than a remote princess. And her servants’ words held a murderous aura.

Where were the most domineering women? The answer was naturally the imperial palace. Moreover, Mo Xuetong had seen a phoenix hairpin on her head. This customization and hairpin type were only available to the master in the palace. With this in thought, she found that that woman’s maidservants were much more agile than the average maidservant.

As the two groups confronted, the one on the upper steps only wobbled, and the woman with the veil standing behind wasn’t touched at all. It could be seen that she was agile and mastered kung fu.

If the woman was from the palace, it made sense.

A consort or a princess? Or someone else? Mo Xuetong didn’t figure it out, but she was convinced that this person was here to meet You Yuecheng. Otherwise, You Yuecheng who was indifference would never take care of this kind of idle business. He dragged a brothel girl out to distract Ling Mingyan’s attention at the risk of ruining his reputation.

Did this mean that Ling Mingyan also knew the woman? Otherwise, You Yuecheng would not be so anxious, and the woman didn’t say a word at all.

A story was formed in Mo Xuetong’s mind.

Ling Mingyan appeared here today because she had received news that You Yuecheng would secretly meet a woman. As the woman got the news and hurried down, she met Ling Mingyan at the stairs. According to Ling Mingyan’s temperament, of course, it was impossible for her to go without a fight.

Seeing that they were making a big deal out of this, You Yuecheng had no choice but to find a prost.i.tute to act with him so as to draw Ling Mingyan’s attention and cover the woman away.

In the whole thing, Mo Xuetong did not understand why You Yuecheng secretly met a woman from the palace. Mingguo Manor was now on the side of King Yan, and King Yan was losing hope, because he irked Emperor Zongwen again and again. You Yuecheng’s meeting with the woman from the palace at this time was a little weird instead of ambiguous.

Mo Xuetong and You Yuecheng had confronted each other many times. She knew that You Yuecheng was ambitious and would never ruin his matter because of a woman, nor would he make something ambiguous for a private meeting with a woman from the palace, which would cause Ling Mingyan and Ding General Manor to be displeased, or attract suspicion from others.

Therefore, that woman must not be simple.

Mo Lan kept behind the curtain of the private room. As she noticed You Yuecheng and Ling Mingyan coming out of the opposite room, she lowered her voice and said, “My Lady, Marquess Mingguo has gone out.”

“Let me see.” Mo Yu put down the teapot in her hand, picked up the dress slightly and walked lightly.

Through the slightly lifted curtain, she saw You Yuecheng strode in front. The expression on his face was still cold and rigorous, and Ling Mingyan behind him had turned obedient and her head lowered, with a sweet smile on her face. She smiled and looked at the tall and handsome You Yuecheng in front of her from time to time, with a look of admiration on her face.

The two walked out one after the other with their servants.

Mo Xuetong looked through the window and happened to see Ling Mingyan’s carriage coming, followed by a dozen of servants who did heavy work with sticks. The corner of her lips curved into a smile.

You Yuecheng also saw these servants and he snorted with displeasure. Then he swiftly got on the horse brought by the manservant, then looked down at Ling Mingyan who was explaining with some awkwardness, and faintly said, “You go back first, I will go out now. I may not come back for dinner, so don’t wait for me. Have dinner yourself.”

“You still have to go out at this time?” Ling Mingyan thought that You Yuecheng would go back with her, and she was wondering the sweet scene that they would in the same carriage as her face had turned red. Since she married into Mingguo Manor, they had never shared a carriage.

“Yes, I have to do something. You go back first. I will come back earlier in the evening.” Maybe because he noticed the longing in Ling Mingyan’s eyes, You Yuecheng said slowly, and his voice was not that cold.

He even spoke to her in such a gentle voice, and said that he would come back early in the evening, which meant that he would come to her room. Ling Mingyan’s eyes lit up immediately, but she acted shyly and twisted the handkerchief in her hands. She was so overjoyed that she had forgotten what she had stormed in to do today.
