Chapter 576 - Passion, the Empress Dowagers Perfect Plan (1/2)

“Why are you back so late? Was it so troublesome?” When Mo Xuetong came back to her yard, Feng Yuran had already been waiting there. He threw down the book in his hand and looked up lazily. His bright eyes landed on her, a doting smile flas.h.i.+ng in them.

Usually, he was not at home at this time. The situation in the court had suddenly changed and he had many things to deal with. Even though Emperor Zongwen doted on him the most, if he did not have a certain amount of strength, Mo Xuetong believed that Emperor Zongwen would not choose him. Compared to the kingdom, Emperor’s love for him was a little lighter.

Then he was worried about her!

Thinking of this, Mo Xuetong smiled even more sweetly. She walked to the couch and blinked her s.h.i.+mmery eyes. “Not really. It was not so troublesome, but I learn something else.”

Then she waved her hand and the maidservants in the room sensibly left one by one. Mo Ye had already gone to find Mo Feng as soon as she entered the manor. Luo Mingzhu’s reaction was odd in Fu General Manor, and Mo Xuetong was a little worried.

“What is it?” Feng Yuran stretched out his long arms and held Mo Xuetong on his lap. He reached out to pinch her pink and tender face and asked in a good mood. Her face was as smooth and tender as white tofu, which made people love her.

Being teased like a child, Mo Xuetong pouted and reached out to pat his hand. “I’m talking about a serious matter.”

“Just say it! I’m listening to you!” Feng Yuran said, all smiles. His hand landed on her hair and tucked the hair on her cheeks behind her ear.

Mo Xuetong flushed when she saw his burning gaze landing on her face. His handsome face was really attractive. How could a man be so handsome? Every time he smiled as brilliantly as a flower, it tested one’s sense. Even if she was the only one who could see it, she would still be enchanted.

However, when she thought that this person belonged to her, she felt satisfied and sweet as if she had drunk honey.

She leaned into his embrace and wrapped her arms around his waist as if she was declaring that he was hers. Anyway, there was no one else in the room and he could not just listen to her obediently. She moved and sat in a comfortable position. Then, she began to say, “You Yuecheng is behind the matter about Yun Ya. He keeps investigating Fu General Manor.”

Mo Xuetong had once told Feng Yuran about the deserted courtyard. However, she had only mentioned it casually. Since she had some conjectures that were not very clear, she did not tell him. It would not be late to tell him after the investigation was done.

Feng Yuran curled his lips in disdain and said lazily, “Mingguo Manor is also a n.o.ble family. You Yuecheng is becoming less and less aggressive. He only focuses on the back courtyard and only contacts with women. He’s really at a disadvantage.” A hint of coldness flashed in his bright eyes. It turned out that You Yuecheng wanted to talk about what happened in the past and force the Emperor to punish Fu General Manor. Then Tong’er would be implicated. Was he living too well?

You Yuecheng was determined to go against Tong’er. Did he really try to strike at him by striking at Tong’er for the sake of Feng Yulei? Or for other reasons? You Yuecheng was not such a person, unless he had other ideas. At the thought of this, Feng Yuran’s face darkened, and a cold smile flashed in his eyes. Now that You Yuecheng liked the fight in the backyard, it was coincidental that Feng Yuran knew something about him. Originally, he just treated it as a joke. Now, he inevitably wanted to add fuel to the fire.

As Mo Xuetong noticed Feng Yuran’s displeasure, a charming smile appeared in her watery eyes. She gave him a push and asked, “What do you think is wrong with You Yuecheng? Why does he dislike me so much? Do you want us to fight against him so that he cannot keep staring at other’s back yard?”

She spoke completely in accordance with Feng Yuran’s intentions. As she expected, when Feng Yuran heard that, his handsome face lit up. He reached out to lift up her chin and kissed it gently on her lips. “Don’t worry. Leave this to me, Tong’er. Now that he likes to watch the drama in the back yard, I’ll make the back yard of Mingguo Manor lively as well,” he said vaguely, with her lips in his.

He was clear that Tong’er hated You Yuecheng, but he was pleased to hear that she said it herself. No matter how much You Yuecheng cared for her, Tong’er would always belong to him.

“I have prepared King Chu’s birthday gifts. Do you want to take a look at them?” Mo Xuetong asked with a chuckle. The gifts were bestowed on them by the palace and it was appropriate to give them to Feng Yuxuan.

“Why should I take a look at them? You’ve already prepared everything. I’m not worried. You can do what you want to do with the gifts for Eldest Brother.” Feng Yuran listened to Mo Xuetong’s soft voice. When she leaned into his embrace, he enjoyed it very much. “Anyway, we can give him anything. He can’t be picky about the gifts,” he added lazily.

His words made sense. Even if Feng Yuran did not give him anything, given Feng Yuxuan’s character, he would not say anything. However, Feng Yuxuan had given her that set of head accessory of Southern Pearls last time. Even though he did not have any good intentions, it was sent to King Xuan’s Manor, and King Xuan’s Manor had accepted it. King Xuan’s Manor was looking for an opportunity to return the gift.

As Mo Xuetong thought of this, the girl she met the other day suddenly flashed across her mind. She nudged Feng Yuran and asked, “Are the people of the Southern Barbarian Lands about to arrive?”

Couldn’t that woman be the princess of the Southern Barbarian Lands?

“Yes, they’re about to arrive. You can just clean up a few courtyards. You don’t have to worry too much. When I pick them up, let them stay in there.” Feng Yuran was rather displeased when he thought that someone was going to live in his manor and that he and Tong’er would not have much time together. He just wanted to get rid of them casually.

“They haven’t yet arrived in the capital?”

“Not yet. I heard that a few of their advance guards have already come. They are not important people anyway, so you don’t have to worry about them.” Feng Yuran lifted the corners of his lips and vaguely answered with a smile.
