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

Since it was not the princess of the Southern Barbarian Lands, Mo Xuetong felt a little relieved. That girl seemed not easy to deal with. If such a princess lived in their manor, the family would be in chaos. What was more, the princess came here for marriage. Although the princes, including Feng Yuran, were married, which was not suitable for the marriage, what if the princess liked one of them?

Mo Xuetong felt a sense of crisis whenever she thought of the arrival of the princess of the Southern Barbarian Lands.

“Can’t we let them live outside? It’s not good to live in our manor!” After thinking for a while, she said, “Isn’t the princess going to marry someone? If they live here, it’s a little…”

“Are you jealous?” Feng Yuran’s eyes shone brightly. He turned to look at Mo Xuetong and realized that she was so shy that her neck was even red. He immediately laughed happily.

“Who’s jealous? I’m worried that something will be wrong? Some people of the Southern Barbarian Lands are chasing after the Crown Prince and trying to kill him. I’m worried that something may happen to him here.” Mo Xuetong’s face grew redder when she saw the teasing look in his eyes. She pushed his handsome face away and wanted to speak seriously. However, when she saw he turned his face to her again, she felt a little embarra.s.sed and angry.

“Can you be serious? I am talking about serious matters.” She put on a straight face, looking furious. However, the shyness in her watery eyes made her look as if she was pouting.

“Oh, I’m listening seriously!” Feng Yuran nodded seriously and his expression was as serious as it could be. However, it didn’t look like that. Especially, there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes, which made one feel ambiguous for some reason.

Mo Xuetong was shy and annoyed. Most importantly, she was indeed a little guilty. Then she pulled on his arm, bit down angrily and snapped, “Keep looking.”

“Alright, alright, I won’t look at you again. Tong’er, go on.” Feng Yuran hurriedly patted her back when he saw how embarra.s.sed she was. He coaxed her and stopped looking at her face.

“I will care about the people from the Southern Barbarian Lands. I am not the one without the first consort now. I heard that the Empress Dowager really likes the princess of the Southern Barbarian Lands, so she will definitely be in contact with her then. You can rest a.s.sured. I have told Father that I won’t take someone with a higher status than you to annoy you and make a mess of the family.”

What he said was the thing Mo Xuetong was worried about. She immediately felt rather comfortable. “Why would the Empress Dowager pay attention to the princess of the Southern Barbarian Lands?”

She asked casually. Then, as if she had thought of something, she looked up at Feng Yuran. Her eyes widened and her tiny mouth opened slightly. She could not say anything for the moment.

“Eldest Brother, Third Brother, and me, we all have legal consorts. Even though the princess of the Southern Barbarian Lands is n.o.ble, she could only enjoy the same status as a wife after marrying into our manors. But Feng Yuzhen is different. Feng Yuzhen’s wife is dead! Their ident.i.ty and status are compatible. He is also the prince of the Qin Kingdom. The Empress Dowager has this idea long ago,” Feng Yuran said lightly.

“Does His Majesty know?” Mo Xuetong pointed her slender finger upward.

“Don’t worry. The Empress Dowager thinks too highly of herself. She wants King Ning and the Southern Barbarian Lands to join forces so that King Ning can have a helping hand,” Feng Yuran stated sarcastically. There was a hint of coldness on his handsome face. So many children in the palace died before they were born, and the Empress Dowager was absolutely responsible for this. The Empress was not capable enough.

Compared to the Empress, the Empress Dowager was evidently more astute!

Mo Xuetong heaved a sigh of relief when she knew that Feng Yuran had already come up with a way to deal with it. She suddenly asked curiously, “The box containing the South Pearl necklace is called… Duo La. What about it now?” Since Feng Yuxuan wanted her to open the box which was a trouble, Feng Yuran would never leave it with him. Then where was that box?

“I’ve sent it to the Empress Dowager’s palace together with the South Pearl head accessory that Eldest Brother gifted. They did not look odd together.” Feng Yuran looked up slightly. There was a hint of understanding on his jade-like face. He reached out and patted Mo Xuetong’s head. “You don’t have to worry about these things. Since someone sent them to us on purpose, we can use them.”

Mo Xuetong understood what he meant. Feng Yuxuan was the first to send the South Pearl. Furthermore, everyone who attended the banquet had known about it. Ling Rui’er had also said that Feng Yuxuan had sent the South Pearl head accessory over. If something were to happen in the future, it would definitely have something to do with King Chu’s Manor. After all, King Chu was the one who had started the thing about the South Pearl.

The box did not have much to do with King Xuan’s Manor.

She suddenly had an evil expectation to see who the Empress Dowager intended to give the box to. Would she send it back to the Southern Barbarian Lands? The Crown Prince and the Princess of the Southern Barbarian Lands must know about it. Of course, it was sent with bad intentions. This matter was getting messier and messier. After so many people had involved in it, no one could tell who did it.

“You really won’t get into trouble?” Even though she knew that Feng Yuran had already arranged it, Mo Xuetong still raised her brows and asked with a smile.

“I won’t!” Feng Yuran lifted Mo Xuetong’s face calmly and kissed her pink lips hard to gain her attention. He had wanted to do it for a long while. How could she not sense it? How dare she be lost in thought? It was really depressing!

As the wind blew, the window screen was raised, and a pretty couple was cuddling under the window…
