Chapter 52 The End of Mo Xuemins Lofty Dreams (1/2)

”What happened?” Mo Xuetong said lightly. She closed her eyes and leaned against her pillow.

”I am not sure either. A group of people brought her in. Mo Ye heard voices and went out to see. She said that there were a few eunuchs. Old Sir and even Auntie Fang were called. Old Sir is bringing a bunch of people to Fuqing Garden right now.” Mo Lan did not know much, but she knew what happened in the day.

To have gotten into trouble in the palace was a serious matter!

Mo Xuemin had hoped to catch the eye of King Chu. She wanted to become a prince's wife by her beauty.

Mo Xuetong however, knew that they were just lofty dreams.

In her past life, Mo Xuemin had entered the palace at this time too. However, when she returned to the Mo Manor, she had not heard any news of Mo Xuemin having anything to do with the princes. With Mo Xuemin's character, how would she attract the interests of the princes? While the duke's family were n.o.ble, they could not compete with the princes in Mo Xuemin's heart.

No matter in her past life or this life, Mo Xuemin would never dream that the banquet today would end her lofty dreams. In her past life, she had followed behind You Yuecheng for years and yet, there had not been any results. This was most likely an important factor.

”Where is Mo Ye?”

”She told me earlier that she was going to keep watch at Fuqing Garden. She said that she would report to you after that.” Among all the other maids, Mo Lan was the one who knew most about how extraordinary Mo Ye was. She was also usually the closest to Mo Ye.

”Wake me up when she returns.” Mo Xuetong yawned lazily and found a comfortable position to lie down.

”Yes.” Mo Lan left, taking the candlestick with her.

Mo Xuetong slept very well. Mo Ye had already returned when she woke up. Mo Lan helped her to wash up while Mo Ye reported what she had seen and heard.

”First Miss collided with a concubine and offended her?” Mo Xuetong said lightly, seating before her vanity. Mo Lan was helping her comb her long dark hair. In the mirror, was a young, and somewhat child-like girl. Her face was gentle and delicate, looking like fragile porcelain. However, there was a hint of coldness in her features.

”I saw that First Miss had two slap marks on her face. Her clothes were in disarray and her hair was a mess.” Mo Ye had not slept all night, mingling among the maids outside. Even though she was far away, she was still skilled at martial arts. Her vision and hearing were all good and she could get a clear idea of what happened.

There were many concubines in the palace and none of them was someone that Mo Xuemin could afford to offend. However, it must not have been an ordinary concubine for them to trouble eunuchs to send a n.o.ble miss back home in the middle of the night.

With Mo Xuemin's skills, she should be able to hold her temper and not argue with the concubine. Mo Xuetong knew how much Mo Xuemin could bear. She had only revealed her true vicious self when she wanted to poison Mo Xuetong.

”Did Mo Jin come back!” She had a sudden thought.

”No. I did not see Mo Jin. The palace only sent First Miss back.” It was chaotic in Fuqing Garden. The maids and servants were all thrown out. Mo Ye only noticed that only Mo Xiu came out since she kept a close watch. Mo Jin, who was most trusted by Mo Xuemin had not appeared at all. When she asked around, she found out that only Mo Xuemin left the palace.

An insignificant maid would definitely not be able to emerge from this scandal alive. Mo Xuetong had in her past life, once thought that what Luo Mingzhu told her in private were all rumors that could not be trusted. How could her gentle and generous eldest sister do something like that? Now that she thought about it, it was most likely true.

In her past life, Luo Mingzhu had told her to be wary of Mo Xuemin. She had brought up this matter to say that Mo Xuemin's character was bad. She entered the palace in hopes of meeting King Chu in private. She had even sent a message secretly. However, the eldest prince had not come, but the fifth princess had come instead. She had thrown Mo Xuemin's secret note in her face.

The note had become concrete evidence of Mo Xuemin shameless seduction of King Chu. Mo Xuemin had been slapped ten times and sent back to the manor. Mo Xuemin's dreams of entering the palace had been destroyed like that. It was said that the Empress heard about the matter afterward and even sent someone to rebuke her. She sent word, saying, ”This woman is loose in morals and goes against the moral conducts of the imperial palace. She is not to enter.”

These few words have destroyed Mo Xuemin's dreams completely. She no longer had anything to do with true n.o.bility from then on.

The rumors she had heard in her past life was happening right before her eyes. A cold smirk appeared on her lips. In this life, Mo Xuemin did not even have to think about climbing up the social ladder while stepping on her.

Someone was intentionally trying to hide this matter. However, Mo Xuetong did not want to. If it were just that, King Chu would but just gain another concubine and her father would become a highly trusted officer of the Emperor. Why would the Empress be so harsh?

”Mo Lan, go look for Mother Xu to find out what happened in the manor yesterday. Ask a few more people. If anyone brings up Mo Jin, there is no need to hide.” Mo Xuetong said lightly.

”Will Old Sir grow suspicious of you if you ask Mother xu to go”? Mo Lan thought for a moment before she understood what Mo Xuetong planned to do. However, she was still worried.

”I'm just concerned for my elder sister. There are so many people in the manor and many tongues wagging. It is not something I, a Miss who have just entered the manor, can deal with. I heard that Mo Jin's parents are stewards here?” Mo Xuetong smiled lightly.

”Mo Jin's father was brought here on the recommendation of Auntie Fang. He's the second steeward while her mother is in charge of the kitchen. She has a brother who is weakly and does not work in the manor.” Mo Lan and Mo Jin were both born in the manor and knew of each other's situation.

”Eldest Miss came back but their daughter has disappeared. Someone would be more anxious than us! However, I doubt they know about it right now.” Mo Xuetong stood up leisurely. Her long hair had not yet been pinned up and cascaded down her back. She turned to stand in front of the window. The day got bright later in winter and it was not let completely light outside.
