Chapter 16 The Fight Between Sisters of Qingwei Garden (2/2)

She felt better by squis.h.i.+ng the weak. Mo Xueqiong was a person like that.

There was a faint smile on her lips as she asked, ”When have I been an orphan with father around? Fourth sister, don't go around shaming father.”

”You...” Mo Xueqiong was furious. However, she could not say anything.

She felt that she had been scolded by Mo Huawen for no reason yesterday and was here to pick a bone with Mo Xuetong.

She grew even angrier when she saw Mo Xuetong's beautiful face. Why did the cowardly and weak Mo Xuetong got doted more on by their father than her? She had never considered why Mo Xuetong had to accept her bullying. After all, Mo Xuetong was the legal daughter of the Mo family.

”Fourth sister, third sister had just arrived. How can you be so impolite?” Mo Xuemin who had not spoken rebuked Mo Xueqiong with a smile.

”Eldest sister, how dare I be impolite. Didn't I come early in the morning to greet her? Furthermore, she would have slept in until noon if we had not come. You're a young lady from a prominent family, how could you behave like that?” Mo Xuemin's rebuke had made Mo Xuetong even angrier. She wrung her handkerchief and complained.

She indeed had no one to teach her manners. What inappropriate behavior!

”Ah, if I knew third sister wanted to rest, I would have come later.” Mo Xuemin pretended not to have heard what Mo Xueqiong said. She replied with a smile in a harmonious tone, looking guilty.

Mo Xuetong's dark and lively eyes flashed with coldness. It flashed so quickly that one could not catch it. Then, she said with composure, ”Father said that I have just arrived and would be tired. He intentionally let me sleep in. Has Fourth sister ever received such treatment from Father? Oh, I almost forgot, Fourth sister was just scolded by Father last night! But that's alright. As long as Fourth sister learns the rules in the future, Father will also give you such special dispense.”

She had always been the one to pick a bone with Mo Xuetong, and not the other way around. Mo Xueqong was stunned and was so angry she was about to explode. She suddenly raised her neck and pointed her fingers and spoke insolently, ”Mo Xuetong, do you really think Father is really doting on you? He left you behind at Cloud City for so many years. If he really missed you, he'd have sent for you long ago. You must have done something that displeased him for him to leave you there.”

”Fourth sister, how could you say that?” Mo Xuemin's eyes glowed and she spoke sharply at Mo Xueqiong. She frowned and looked at Mo Xueqiong, her expression filled with displeasure.

”Eldest sister...” Mo Xueqiong looked at Mo Xuemin in a recalcitrant manner. ”Eldest sister, I was just reminding her to wake up earlier, but she made use of her status in the family to scold me. She's already so impolite just after getting here. What are we to do in the future?”

”Alright, alright. Third sister did not mean it. She's not really trying to scold you. We still have to spend much time together in the future. How can you get angry at such a small matter? We are sisters and we have to get along well to have a harmonious family.” Mo Xuemin nodded with a smile.

”Alright, I can forgive her. But she has to apologize to me officially with a gift!” Mo Xueqiong thought that she had got the goods on Mo Xuetong and glared at her viciously.

”Alright, don't be angry at Third sister. I just received some flowers yesterday that's very fas.h.i.+onable nowadays. Fourth sister, come and pick a few. Give me face and let the matter pa.s.s, alright?” Mo Xuemin smiled and apologized on behalf of Mo Xuetong's unknown sin. She always pretended to be gentle and generous but was always trying to make it look like Mo Xuetong was in the wrong.

With just a few words, Mo Xuetong would be known for picking fights, being proud and bullying her sisters just after she moved into the manor. Meanwhile, she would be known to be the generous and gentle First miss who would be the impartial judge between her sisters.

In her last life, Mo Xuemin had given her poison and caused her to fall into despair. It was this warm and gentle eldest sister.

She felt a s.h.i.+ver go down her spine and a flash of icy cold darkness appeared in her eyes. It then disappeared in her beautiful, moving eyes. She caught sight of a figure in teal at the corner of her eyes. Her calm expression immediately turned into one of a person being wronged. Her eyes grew red and cloudy with tears. There was a trace of sadness in her eyes. She bit her lips and her voice was soft, seeming as if she was very sad.

”Father would naturally dote on me. He fostered me out at Cloud City because my health was bad and not because I've done anything wrong. Eldest sister, Fourth sister, don't always use this matter to blame me.”

”Look, eldest sister, she's still trying to quibble. Mo Xuetong, if you haven't done anything wrong, would Father abandon you at Cloud City? You've been there for more than a year, and usually, I only hear Father praising Eldest sister. I've never heard him mention you. If your maternal grandparents had not asked you to return to the capital, Father would not even think of you if you get old and die in Cloud City!” Mo Xueqiong saw that Mo Xuetong was still as easy to bully as before and immediately sharpened her claws.

Mo Xuemin who had been standing across Mo Xuetong felt ominous. She was about to comfort Mo Xuetong when she suddenly heard an angry bellow. ”What is this, how can a younger sister speak like this to her older sister? Auntie Qing, what have you been teaching your child? This young lady of the house is so impolite!”

The three of them turned around in shock.

They realized then that Mo Huawen was standing at the door to their left. He glared at them angrily, his mouth tightly pursed. He looked at Mo Xuemin and his voice was as cold as ice. He looked sharp and stern.

Mo Xuemin and Mo Xueqiong paled.
