Chapter 39 The Reverse Plot. Checkmate. (2/2)
Mo Huawen smiled and poked her forehead before she could say anything else. ”You're a silly child, but you're Father's silly child. Furthermore, you're Father's most sensible and most thoughtful silly child!”
”No, I'm not. Eldest Sister is!” Mo Xuetong said cutely.
”Oh, is Tong'er jealous?” Mo Huawen looked at the adorable Mo Xuetong and how she was becoming close to him and the unhappiness he felt about Old Madam Xu sending Xuetong clothing disappeared without a trace. It was alright as long as Tong'er was happy. He would go and tell Auntie Mo later to be more attentive to Tong'er's needs. She had to give Tong'er priority if there was anything good.
In Fuqing Garden.
Mo Xuemin leaned against the couch. Her health had always been good and she knew about the illness she had caused herself. She was mostly healed by the second day. However, she had not gone out and stayed in bed pretending to be ill. She had to handle some things personally after Auntie Fang had been locked up. That included Mo Xuetong's invitation.
A mocking smile appeared on Mo Xuemin's beautiful face when she heard that Mo Huawen had picked up the invitation and sent it to Qingwei Garden. She looked to the side at Auntie Fang who was supposedly shut up and said with a cold smile. ”Didn't Auntie say that the little s.l.u.t would definitely not be able to go! How could she still go tomorrow! Father even sent the invitation to her? Auntie, you used to say how great you were but you were defeated by a 13-year-old girl.”
While she looked weak and gentle, her aura was even more powerful than Auntie Fang. Her eyes were cold as she looked at Auntie Fang with disdain.
”That little s.l.u.t is too sly. She intentionally made the matter known. I was too careless to end up being tricked by her.” Auntie Fang's head hurt. She answered angrily when she heard her daughter's jibe. She felt ashamed. She had been locked up for a few days. Even though she had not been mistreated, she did not look too good. It had only been a few days and she already had a few more wrinkles at her eyes. She looked several years older.
Mo Xuemin indeed felt disdain at her current appearance. She could not even be bothered to pretend to be gentle in front of her.
”Auntie, you were too anxious. You could not wait to act the moment she returned. You hurried me to shame her at the city's entrance. I didn't get to shame her but got into trouble instead. Then, you couldn't be patient and cause the incident at the Repayment Temple. After that, you kept making mistakes. How can I have such a stupid Auntie like you? How unfortunate!” Mo Xuemin interrupted her defense cooly, a hint of disdain at her lips.
It was just a 13-year-old girl and only Auntie Fang had to act. She was the First Miss of the Mo family. She had to maintain her gentle and benevolent image. She just had to appear to be filial, elegant and talented. However, she had been dragged under too. She had not managed to benefit from it at all. How could she not be enraged?
Auntie Fang flushed bright red after being spoken to by her daughter so disdainfully. She argued, ”That little s.l.u.t is really difficult to handle.”
”Auntie, you're the one who's difficult to handle. If you cannot deal with her, then don't do anything. Why do you insist on doing something? You didn't manage to do anything and even got into trouble. You'd better think of what Father is thinking about right now!” Mo Xuetong glared at her and spoke sarcastically. ”The thing you need to control the most is Father's heart. If you do not have Father's support, there's no use no matter how powerful you are. What you have to do now is not to try to guess at how Father thinks of Older Brother.”
Mo Xuemin was in a terrible mood. She did not hide her disdain for Auntie Fang. She was indeed just a concubine. She was not able to succeed even when given the chance to. She was too stupid. She didn't even think clearly of her own position before going against Father. She had even gotten Mo Xuemin into trouble so that her father became suspicious of her.
The flower appreciation banquet was no big deal. If Auntie Fang had not caused any trouble, her father would have allowed her to go since she was the eldest daughter. She had attended it last year as well. It would not be nice if she was not allowed to go this year. He would have thought of a way for her to attend this year. Now that the various incidents began to add up, she did not dare to say anything to Mo Huawen. She heard that her father was investigating the matter and did not even dare to keep the invite. She threw it where Mo Huawen was bound to pa.s.s.
Mo Xuemin, who had always been proud could not bear this. She hated Auntie Fang as well now. She did not even hide the mocking look on her face and addressed her as Auntie. Her eyes were filled with disdain, treating Auntie Fang as if she was unworthy.
Auntie Fang was furious after being mocked by her own daughter. She said angrily, ”Don't talk about me. You'd better take care of yourself. I will deal with the little s.l.u.t and I will naturally make things better with your father.”
”Make things better? Do you think you can do that just because you want to? Auntie, look at your status. You managed to do all those things in the past because Father has never once doubted you. But now that you've created so much trouble, that little bit of suspicion he has towards you is growing. The efforts you spend on Mo Xuetong had better be placed on Father. You're already so old, and you're still thinking of trying to defeat Luo Xia. She's already dead. There's no point fighting with her. There's nothing more important than status and power in this world. You just need to get these things.”
Mo Xuemin attacked Auntie Fang with a cold smile.
”You've never experienced that, so you'd naturally say that. Don't bother yourself with my matters. You just have to mind yourself!” Mo Xuemin's words had pierced Auntie Fang's heart. She could not help but glare at Mo Xuemin hatefully.
