Chapter 28 The Falsely Solicitious Elder Sister Falls for the Plot (1) (2/2)

However, they later heard that someone was staying in the courtyard and it was someone they could not offend. Sima Lingyun could not do anything but had to transfer to the guest rooms on the other side.

”First Miss, First Miss.” Mo Xuemin had only taken a few steps in that direction when she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind. She turned around to see a maid who was about 17 or 18. She looked pa.s.sable and her eyes were very lively and coquettish. Mo Xuemin did not like her at all.

”Who are you?” Mo Jin took a step forward from her side, stopping the maid in a hostile tone.

”I am a maid Auntie Fang sent to Third Miss. I am Shuang Ye and came with Third Miss yesterday. I was the one who sent the thing.” Shuang Ye was a smart one and could see that Mo Xuemin was standing high up on the stairs and looked at her with disdain. She looked around and then answered softly.

Auntie Fang had arranged for someone to send Mo Xuetong a pouch. This was something Mo Xuemin had set up. However, Auntie Fang had picked the one to do it. Mo Xuemin once again felt helpless regarding Auntie Fang's taste in picking people. The maid looked s.l.u.tty and she did not like her at all. Wasn't she deliberately attracting attention?!

”You saw His Excellency yesterday?” Even though Mo Xuemin did not like her, there were still things she had to ask.

”Yes. His Excellency went drinking with his friends at the bottom of the mountain and I deliberately sent the thing over. His friends all saw it.” Shuang Ye thought of how Auntie Fang had promised to let her bed Eldest Master and was thrilled. The way she spoke with Mo Xuemin grew even closer.

Mo Xuemin slowly turned and walked inside with the help of Mo Jin. Shuang Ye knew that First Miss was allowing her to follow after them and she followed them hurriedly in a small jog.

Shuang Ye was not as stupid as Qiu Ling. She already knew what was happening in the back courtyards of the Mo Manor. Following the First Miss was different from following the sickly Third Miss. If Auntie Fang became the wife, then the most powerful figure in the back courtyard would be First Miss. Furthermore, First Young Master was First Miss's older brother by blood. It seemed that she would have more of a future following First Miss.

Sima Lingyun stayed not far from Mo Xuetong even though they lived in two different directions. Mo Xuemin asked questions about what happened last night all the way from where Mo Xuetong stayed. They headed east and reached the men's courtyards. She realized that Shuang Ye did not know much and then she stopped asking questions.

She intended to meet Sima Lingyun to get a clear idea of what happened.

Mo Xuetong stopped outside Sima Lingyun's courtyard. She turned around to say to Shuang Ye lightly, ”You, go in. Ask His Excellency to come out to speak.” Even though it was quiet in the mountains, there might be people watching. Someone might see her if she entered. She had always been careful and would not allow there to be gossip about her.

”Yes.” Shuang Ye was pleased that Mo Xuemin had use for her. She was eager to perform and entered after pus.h.i.+ng the doors open.

Later, she ran in hurriedly and said, ”First Miss, something is wrong. His Excellency has been injured and he's lying in bed now.”

Injured? Mo Xuemin was surprised and she felt a sense of unease. She looked around her and found that there was no one. She hurried inside with two maids. She felt anxious and wanted to find out what happened. As such, she did not think too much.

In the corridor, Sima Lingyun's servant was brewing medicine. When he saw Mo Xuemin approaching, he abandoned the fire and put down the fan in his hand hurriedly. He went up to Mo Xuemin and bowed hurriedly.

”Where's His Excellency? Ask him to come out. I will leave after speaking with him for a while.”

”First Miss Mo, His Excellency was beaten up by someone last night. He just woke up and had medicine before falling asleep.” The servants said awkwardly.

Beaten up by someone last night? The servant's words were like a lightning strike to Mo Xuetong's heart. She squeezed Mo Jin's hand tightly and tried to suppress the panic she felt. She asked anxiously, ”Then what happened after that? Was it successful?”

Mo Jin's hand hurt from Mo Xuemin's squeezing but she did not dare to say anything and only bore it with a frown.

Mo Xuemin did not care who had beaten up Sima Lingyun and for what reason. What she hoped to hear the most was that all was successful and that Mo Xuetong had fallen for their scheme. The uneasiness she felt was very strong and her face paled subconsciously.

”No. His Excellency was beaten up before he saw Third Young Miss Mo. His Excellency's friends ran off angrily when they saw the paper in the pouch.” The servant only saw that Sima Lingyun's friends walking off angrily when they saw the paper. He still did not know what was written on it that could anger the two so much. They even glared at him as if he were their enemy, and even now, when he thought of it, he still felt afraid.

When was there a note in the pouch?

”Mo Jin, let's go quickly.” Mo Xuemin gritted her teeth. She felt very anxious and did not feel well. She had not had the time to ask about anything else and turned to leave.

”Oh, it is indeed the First Miss Mo who has come to visit the Zhenguo Duke's son. You're worried that His Excellency has been injured yesterday and rushed up the mountain this morning. Everyone, and you all are still doubtful? How is it? Admit defeat, everyone. You all owe me 10 taels of silver.” A flippant voice came from the entrance.

Mo Xuemin felt weak and she almost fainted.
