Chapter 58 The Empress Scheme (2/2)
However, she did not know that the best way to get other n.o.ble ladies to accept her was to be dignified and to know her etiquette.
She was from a n.o.ble family and naturally had her own social circle. If those from the social circle did not acknowledge her, then how could she a.s.similate into their lives well? She would not make the same mistakes she had in her past life in this life. Her etiquette was poor and she would definitely put in work to improve it. As such, she was very grateful towards Old Madam Xu for finding her Nanny Li and was also very respectful to Nanny Li.
Even though the maids and Mother Xu were very sweet to her, but their knowledge was limited because of their status. She naturally needed someone else to teach her. Nanny Li became that strict instructor. Mo Xuetong respected Nanny Li from the bottom of her heart. She did not feel that her strict behavior was difficult. She knew that Nanny Li was a kind person and truly wanted to teach her etiquette well.
One had to suffer to become a better person than others. She knew that!
Fortunately, Mo Xuetong was also very smart. Even though she always made mistakes at first, but she paid attention and studied hard. Her demeanor began to exude graciousness in a few days. Nanny Li was very satisfied. The training after that would be much simpler.
These were the most peaceful days Mo Xuetong had. No matter whether it was before or after her rebirth. There were no plots and no schemes.
The Old Madam truly doted on her. She had everything that Luo Mingzhu had in terms of food or games. Sometimes, she gets things even before Luo Mingzhu. There were a few times when Luo Mingzhu complained to the Old Madam that she had to have the same things as Mo Xuetong.
Mo Xuetong intentionally teased Luo Mingzhu with the things she had gotten but Luo Mingzhu hadn't. This made Luo Mingzhu so angry that she grabbed Mo Xuetong and tickled her until she called uncle.
Mo Huawen also cared about her daughter deeply. Even though he did not visit her every day, but he would definitely visit every few days. Even though he did not stay for long each time, Mo Xuetong was pleased with her father's good intentions. Their relations.h.i.+p had been distant in her past life. She only realized in this life that her father loved her very deeply no matter in her past life or this life.
”Miss, look, Auntie Mo and Auntie Qing sent more bolts of cloth over. They said that they were afraid that you won't get clothes to change here and had intentionally sent the cloth the palace sent to you. They told you to make a few pieces of clothing. This pink cotton is really nice. Look at how smooth and bright it is. It is even smoother than Mo Lan's face.” Mo He pulled open a bolt of cloth and exclaimed excitedly.
The Mo Manor had already sent things over for the fifth time this month!
Mo Xuemin had sent people to send some things over, saying that she was deeply sorry for dragging down her younger sister's reputation. She heard Mother Xu say that Mo Xuemin was even more gentle towards others after her illness. She did not scold or hit the servants and even got Auntie Fang to become vegetarian with her. The two of them stayed in their courtyards and observed the vegetarian fast. They would sometimes go to the ancestral hall and kneel there for periods, saying they want to clear their hearts of desires. Mo Huawen could not even get angry at them and had long withdrawn his orders to keep them locked up.
Mo Xuetong, of course, did not believe that Mo Xuemin would truly become ”vegetarian”. She was only hiding her true self even better after this incident! She would be more difficult to deal with. Mo Xuetong caressed the clothes that Mo Xuemin sent. The beautiful and luxurious cloth as smooth to touch, but made her feel cold for some reason. She smiled coldly. She looked as if she was not afraid of her opponent, but was only afraid that she would have a bad teammate. If Mo Xuemin wanted to recover her position in their father's heart, this might not be enough.
It was just like the clothes she sent this time, the flaws were so obvious!
This definitely was not something the careful Mo Xuemin would do. Auntie Fang, she suddenly started to ”admire” Auntie Fang! She was really providing timely a.s.sistance. She was still feeling troubled about being in General Manor and could not get Mo Xuemin into trouble. She did not expect Auntie Fang to give her a helping hand so quickly. How great!
”Father, Tong'er doesn't want Eldest Sister's clothes. Eldest Sister doesn't have enough clothes herself, so how can I take her clothes? Eldest sister sent these clothes here three times and keeps sending it back to me when I send them back to her. Father, tell Eldest Sister that she had better keep the clothes for herself.” Mo Xuetong said with a frown.
”Since your Eldest Sister keeps sending them to you, it means that she is really sincere about giving it to you. Wear the clothes first. Your Eldest Sister has plenty of clothes.” Mo Huawen took the luxurious clothing happily and smiled as he held it up against Mo Xuetong. ”Tong'er, you would look good wearing this. Will you wear it and show me?”
”They are the Eldest Sister's clothing. How can I wear them?” Mo Xuetong pouted reluctantly. Her cute actions pleased Mo Huawen greatly and he insisted on her wearing the clothes.
Mo Xuetong could not do anything about it. As such, she brought Mo He into the room and changed. Then, Mo He dragged her out of the room.
It was a blue colored skirt that was embroidered with orchids. There were lotus flowers embroidered with gold silk at the waist. The embroidery made her waist look long and slender, like a willow plant. However, it also showed off her shortcomings. She was half a head shorter than Mo Xuemin and the dress looked very much too long. Mo He pulled her and she almost fell when entering the door.
She would have fallen if Mo Lan had not acted fast enough.
