Chapter 36 Mo Xuemin Pretends to Be Ill (2/2)
After what happened to Auntie Fang yesterday, Mo Xuemin would not stop. If Auntie Fang really lost her father's love, then Mo Xuemin will forever be a concubine's child. Mo Xuemin who was desperate for riches and n.o.bility would not be willing to see it end like that. She trusted that Mo Xuemin would act before tomorrow.
She was thinking about that when Mo He walked in from the rain outside, holding an umbrella. She went to the entrance and gave the umbrella to a little maid there. She adjusted her wet skirt and entered, making her report.
”Miss, it's a mess in the manor. A few of the older maids sent the wrong clothing to Old Sir. And First Miss has fallen ill. Do you want to go and take a look?”
The maids sent the wrong clothing and then Mo Xuemin fell ill? The mother-daughter pair really knew each other well. They were amazing!
As long as she was around, Auntie Fang did not even have to think about getting another chance!
Mo Xuetong laughed coldly in her heart. She returned to her couch and sat on it. She looked up and asked, ”How did you know about this?”
”I was in the garden to pick the dawn dewdrops for you when I heard two maids talking as they pa.s.sed. They said that First Miss was seriously ill. They called for a physician early this morning. Old Sir has not yet emerged from her room.” Mo He answered.
They had got the maids to spread the news in the courtyards and intentionally gotten Mo Huawen to go there. She must be trying to get out of the incident yesterday before trying to save auntie Fang. Mo Xuemin had gotten more careful after losing twice. There was a cold smile on Mo Xuetong's lips. Considering how much Mo Huawen doted on Mo Xuemin, he would definitely believe her in the end.
She definitely must not allow Mo Xuemin to trick her father again.
”Then let's go and visit them. Eldest Sister is so ill, if I don't visit her, it would be too cruel.” Mo Xuetong stood up and hid the coldness in her eyes.
”Miss, the rain is really heavy and your legs are still not healed!” Mo Yu reminded her in concern.
”Eldest Sister is ill at such a time and even got Father to go over. She definitely wants her younger sister to rush there as well. Otherwise, it'd be a waste of her illness!” Mo Xuetong smiled faintly. There was a hint of naughtiness in her gentleness. Her eyes however, were very dark.
Mo Xuemin's courtyard was a distance away from Mo Xuetong's. To get there, they first had to pa.s.s through the garden. Auntie Fang must have planned this, for Qingwei Garden was in a secluded corner of the back garden while Mo Xuemin's Fuqing Garden was in the center of the Manor, where the main daughter's garden should be. However, no one in the manor said anything. One could see the power Auntie Fang had over the manor from this.
There were a few older maidservants holding umbrellas. Mo Xuetong brought Mo Yu into Mo Xuemin's Fuqing Garden!
The weather had already gotten better and they could not feel anything even if they did not hold umbrellas. Mo Yu helped Mo Xuetong walk through the rain. If she only felt slightly annoyed when she felt the rain and wind from behind the window, then right now, as they walked through the drizzle, it was more damp and made one uncomfortable.
Because Mo Xuetong did not speak, the group of people walked silently. Only the sounds of soft footsteps could be heard.
They had just entered the courtyard when they saw maids scurrying around. Someone immediately reported that Mo Xuetong was here when she appeared at the entrance. She was immediately welcomed in by a servant respectfully.
When she entered, she saw Mo Huawen sitting by the side of the bed with a frown. Mo Xuemin was lying on the bed, her face extremely pale.
”Father, you're here too. What's wrong with Eldest Sister?” Mo Xuetong hid all the dark thoughts she felt and went up to curtsy to Mo Huawen. She turned to look at Mo Xuetong, so anxious that she was almost tearing up.
”Your Eldest Sister. Sigh, she's really stupid. I didn't blame her at all yesterday, but she went to kneel in the ancestral hall all night!” Mo Huawen shook his head, his face full of pity. He thought of how Min'er had knelt in the ancestral hall the entire night because he had rebuked Auntie Fang. If she had not fainted in the morning, he would not even know about it now. How could must it be in the autumn night, and it was still raining. How could her weak body take it.
Yesterday, Mo Huawen had indeed suspected that his eldest daughter had taken part in the matter. Otherwise, why would she be dressed and waiting by the side. However, now that this had happened, his suspicions had dispersed completely. The gentle and calm Min'er would not partic.i.p.ate in such matter. She must have been tricked by Auntie Fang!
”Father, I am supposed to do this. Auntie had made a mistake and Min'er should be punished along with her. I've even troubled you to come and visit me. I'm too unfilial.” On the bed, Mo Xuemin tried to sit up but did not have the strength to. She looked up at Mo Huawen weakly with watery eyes that were filled with gentleness and love. She looked like a gentle and adorable girl.
She had gone to kneel at the ancestral hall even though n.o.body had punished her. She was willing to take her mother's punishment. Mo Xuemin was not only filial, she was very kind as well.
Then, Mo Xuemin turned to look at Mo Xuetong with difficulty. There was a trace of a smile on her lips as well as a trace of guilt. She said, ”It's raining and Third Sister has come to visit me. I'm so sorry, you walked such a long distance to come, your knees must hurt. It was Auntie's fault yesterday. I will apologize to you on her behalf!” Then, she wanted to get up but was pressed down by Mo Huawen.
”Just relax and focus on getting well. Tong'er understands and won't blame you! Don't feel too guilty about it!”
