Chapter 40 The Mother and Daughter from Fuqing Garden Plots Again (2/2)
It truly put them in a good mood!
”Do you all think that Auntie Fang won't be able to climb back to her position after her scolding today?” Mo Xuetong laid down, her hair spread over the pillow, revealing her pale and supple face. She looked at the maids beside her with a faint smile on her lips.
She did not like to sleep with her hair tied up after her rebirth. It made her feel suffocated!
”Miss, isn't that so?” Mo Yu was helping to tuck her in when she heard Mo Xuetong's questions. Her hand paused.
”Didn't Mo He say that Father scolded Auntie Fang but discovered that the matter had nothing to do with Auntie Fang in the end? Even though Father did not go to see Auntie Fang again, he must feel bad towards Auntie Fang. Auntie Fang will definitely make use of this.” Mo Xuetong's clear eyes shone, and the smile on her face grew even more gentle.
”Miss, you mean that Auntie Fang will definitely use this to complain to Old Sir and soften his heart?” Mo Lan had always been intelligent. She quickly thought of the most important thing that would happen next. She stopped, holding a bamboo basket in her hands.
”Auntie Fang had always been smart. And my good old Eldest Sister will do her best to help Auntie Fang so that Father will keep thinking about this matter. Auntie Fang had been scolded for no rhyme or reason, and she had suffered.” Mo Xuetong said with a cold smile. Mo Xuemin would definitely find a way to get their father to Lihua Garden these few days. Auntie Fang will complain about her grievances then and might be able to be released from Lihua Garden then.
”Then what shall we do?” Mo Yu realized the dangers of this matter and asked in a hurry.
If Auntie Fang were to be released from Lihua Garden, she would definitely try to deal with their mistress. If Old Sir released her in a few days and did not pursue her wrongdoings any further, everyone else only thought that Auntie Fang had regained Old Sir's affections. Things would be difficult for Mo Xuetong in the future.
”It's alright. Father won't let her out!” Mo Xuetong yawned lightly and shut her eyes. A smile appeared on her still rather child-like face. It was not a cold smile, but it made one warm when they looked at her smile. It was unlike her smile earlier, which made others feel cold inside out.
The three maids glanced at each other when they saw Mo Xuetong closing her eyes. They left the room silently.
They had only just left the room when Mo He could not bear it any longer. She pointed inside and said, ”Miss...”
”Alright. Mo He, don't say anything. Miss knows what to do. We just have to listen to her.” Mo Lan smiled and stopped her from saying anything else. She had been by her mistress side all this while and saw how she handled things. She was composed and intelligent, unlike her usual weak and useless self.
Her mistress had thought of a way to return to the capital and even defeated First Miss at the city gates. Then, she had intentionally placed fine needles in the clothes that Auntie Fang prepared and got her locked up. This all proved how intelligent her mistress was. She was no longer the cowardly Mo Xuetong of the past. She could trust in her mistress!
”But, we have to mention it, right!” Mo He pouted.
”Of course, we have to mention it. But we must not do anything that is not ordered of us.” Mo Lan's smile disappeared and she spoke in a serious manner.
”I won't ruin Miss's plans. She is so smart, how can I ruin her plans!” Mo He pouted resentfully, but still agreed.
”You know that Miss is smart too, so why are you worried for her? She said that Old Sir won't release Auntie Fang, so he won't.” Mo Yu had been following Mo Xuetong's orders very well recently. Her lips curled up. She was not worried at all by what Mo He said. Her mistress had said nothing would happen!
Even Mo He smiled. She took the bamboo basket from Mo Lan's hands, wanting to take needle and thread to do embroidery. However, she found a white jade bottle and asked, ”Whose is this. Why did they leave such a good bottle around anyhow?”
”I don't know, but this is a really nice looking bottle.” Mo Yu opened it and sniffed at it. ”It smells good.”
”Don't touch it. Put it in Miss's room and don't lose it. She's been studying medicine recently, it might be useful.” Mo Lan spoke without looking up.
”Alright, I will put it at her dresser so it would be easy to find.”
