Chapter 34 Helping Father Plan His Legacy (2/2)

Mo Huawen was already investigating Auntie Fang. She would seem petty if she complained to Mo Huawen now. Her father would not do anything to Auntie Fang now. After all, she had given birth to his eldest daughter and had given him a son. Even if there was evidence that she had tried to harm Mo Xuetong, he would just lock her up for a month.

Mo Huawen only had one son. He would not be able to do anything to Auntie Fang. As such, she could not complain about Auntie Fang but she had to persuade her father to fall in love with someone else and marry another woman.

He could only have other children if he took another wife. Once he had a son for the main family branch, Mo Yufeng would lose his chance and Auntie Fang would no longer be doted on. Otherwise, because of her age, no matter what she did, there would always be someone who belonged to Auntie Fang. Auntie Fang's position could not be shaken.

The hatred she bore for them in her past life would not allow her to let the vicious mother and daughter go so easily.

”Miss, if Madam was still around, she would not let you suffer so. It is a pity that Madam pa.s.sed away at a young age and your health is poor but there is no one to take care of you carefully. Old Sir already knows everything, but he only just shut that woman up. How can you continue living in the Mo Manor!” Mother Xu helped to change Mo Xuetong's hot water while wiping away her tears. Mo Lan had already prepared her bath water and was about to cleanse her wounds.

Even though they were small, they hurt badly.

”Nursemaid, don't worry. I'll go bathe first. I still have some things to ask you!” Mo Xuetong's eyes shone as she looked at Mother Xu. She immediately thought of a person and smiled beautifully.

”Alright, alright. Miss, you go and bathe first. I will wait for you here. I will get someone to heat up the food so that you can eat comfortably!” Mother Xu only thought that Mo Xuetong was behaving coyly. She wiped away her tears and looked on with pity as Mo Yu and Mo Lan helped Mo Xuetong up carefully. She told them to be careful and then went to find a maid to take the food away to heat them up.

When Mo Xuetong emerged, the dishes had been reheated. However, she had been hungry for too long, she was not very hungry. She got rid of everyone else, only leaving Mo Lan and Mother xu behind. After this incident, Mo Xuetong really felt that Mo Lan was not only steady but was also intelligent. She knew when to do things. Mo Yu had timed her hesitance very well too.

”Nursemaid, the last time you went to my grandfather's house, did you hear that there was a cousin who had moved into the Luo's?” Mo Xuetong did not have much appet.i.te. She put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand and asked seriously.

”Yes. I heard that she is Madam's cousin. I think she is the Old Madam's youngest niece. Her mother asked the Old Madam to help her find a good husband before she died. That is why she was fostered at the Luo's. It's been about a year but I heard they could not find her a good husband. She's picky and I heard that she wants to marry a rich and talented person. However, why would they want to marry an orphan girl? As such, the matter rested. I saw the cousin that day. She's quite good looking, but she's a little old. It'd be hard to find her a husband!” Mother Xu really knew about the matter. Even though she did not know what Mo Xuetong wanted, she answered in detail.

Mother Xu stuffed the chopsticks back into her hands when she saw that Mo Xuetong had not eaten much. ”Miss, take a few more bites. You have tired yourself out today. If you don't eat, your body is going to fail you. There is no one who can take care of you here, and someone has so viciously jabbed you with needles all over. What are we to do?” Then, Mother Xu's eyes turned red and she almost cried.

Mo Xuetong admitted defeat. She quickly picked up some vegetables with her chopsticks and took a bite. She said with an interested smile, ”Nursemaid, don't be said. I'm eating happily. Why are you sad again. Chat with me. What kind of person does the cousin want to marry?”

Mother Xu smiled when she saw that Mo Xuetong was eating even though she was eating slowly. She wiped her face with a handkerchief and said with a satisfied smile. ”Look at me, I've made you sad again. Miss, don't fault my mouth. You eat, I'll tell you more about that cousin. I heard she said that the person she marries has to be from a good, wealthy family. Her husband has to be good looking too. Tell me, why would a man like this marry a poor person like her? As such, the matter was laid to rest. Old Madam was very worried about this! But she must not let her niece suffer.”

”How old is this cousin?” Mo Xuetong asked casually.

”Perhaps about 21 or 22. She is a little old. But she's picky. The matter has been put on hold when her mother pa.s.sed away. And then she insisted on marrying one she liked. Now she's so old but she refuses to back down. There is nothing Old Madam could do as well!” Mother Xu saw her mistress eating and entertained her with some chat.

Mother Xu told her to be careful while sleeping before she left and told the maids to be more alert while they were sleeping. They were to help her if she were to wake up for the bathroom or for a drink. The three maids smiled and nodded, a.s.suring her they would before they sent her off.

”Mo Lan, help me get someone to send the message out that my father is talented and handsome. He loves my mother very much and has never thought of marrying again. He is afraid that his wife's child would suffer. Tell them that he is young and capable.” Mo Xuetong laid on the bed and could not sleep. She spoke softly as she watched Mo Lan adjust the lights.

”Miss, are you thinking...”Mo Lan put down the scissors in her hands and asked. She had been by Mo Xuetong's side earlier and naturally understood what she was thinking. However, she did not dare to believe what her gentle and cowardly mistress was planning. She was going to find Old Sir a wife and was meddling in his matters.

”Mo Lan, in two years, elder brother will think of becoming a scholar if he starts studying. Father has no other sons and this family will end up in Auntie Fang's hands. Look at how she's treating me now. There will be no place for me in the future. So what if Father protects me?”

”We are in the inner courtyard, so how can he, as a man, protect me. Furthermore, elder brother is his only son. He would not let him suffer no matter what. If I don't plan for myself...I fear that I won't even know how I died.” There was a faint bitter smile on her lips and pain filled her clear eyes.

She had never planned for herself in her past life and had died in Auntie Fang and Mo Xuemin's plots.

The light flickered just like the burning wedding hall in her past life. It was Mo Xuemin and Sima Lingyun's wedding hall and also her funeral hall. No, it was not that. No one would care about the person who died inside. She was a person who was supposed to die. The beautiful melody of their lives was built on her blood.

Her lips pursed tightly and she tried to bear down on the immense pain in her heart.

In this life, she would not step into their traps stupidly! If only one of them between her and Mo Xuemin could live, she would not allow Mo Xuemin to live...
