Chapter 78 The Mean Mo Xueqiong Got Struck (1/2)
”Eldest Sister. Wait for us. I have to go to my courtyard for a while.” Mo Xuetong suddenly came out of the carriage while they were speaking with a pale complexion, supported by Mo Ye.
”Third Sister, what's wrong with you?” Mo Xuemin frowned slightly and was rather unhappy.
”I don't feel well. Grandmother got me some medicine last time and I want to go and get it. Otherwise, it'd be terrible if I feel ill later.” Mo Xuetong said apologetically as she leaned against Mo Ye weakly. Her pale face seemed a little grey and one look at her could tell you that she was not feeling well. ”Eldest Sister, if you are in a hurry, then go along first. I will go with Fourth Sister.”
Mo Xueqiong was delighted and she immediately nodded and said, ”Eldest Sister, you go ahead first if you are in a hurry!”
She would not allow that little s.l.u.t, Mo Xuetong, to have the chance to be alone with the Duke's son. At the family banquet, Sima Lingyun's shock could not be hidden. Furthermore, Mo Xuetong had even shamed her yesterday. Part of the reason for her hesitation earlier was because she was thinking how to get back at Mo Xuetong.
”Then be quick. I will wait for you two.” Mo Xuemin was secretly annoyed. However, she still smiled brilliantly and spoke gently.
Mo Xuetong watched on coldly. She had already seen through everything. Mo Xuemin was trying to hurt her and was afraid that Mo Xueqiong would ruin things. That was why she had tried everything to stop her from going with them. However, she would not allow Mo Xuemin to get what she wanted!
The three of them all had their own thoughts. However, they appeared to get along well and had a good sisterly relations.h.i.+p.
They were quick and the three of them got onto the horse carriage again in half an hour.
The driver raised his whip and the carriage started to move! The three of them were immersed in their thoughts and did not speak. The air in the carriage seemed rather heavy.
Mo Xuemin was a little distracted and looked out of the window from time to time. Mo Xueqiong was also rather uneasy. She peered at herself in a mirror again and again. Mo Xuetong watched them with a faint smile on her lips.
They had not traveled for long when Mo Xuemin suddenly called for the carriage to stop as she looked out of the window.
”Sisters, I arranged to meet a few other ladies and they are right up in front. You two go ahead first and I will follow after.” Mo Xuemin pointed at a horse carriage on the side of the road and explained with a smile.
The horse carriages all had curtains that were slightly lifted. A beautiful face appeared at the window and Mo Xueqiong looked at it. She realized that she did not know the lady and nodded. Mo Xuetong naturally agreed! A hint of a cold smile flashed through her eyes. Mo Xuemin could not sit still indeed. She had escaped through this. If Mo Xueqiong had not come today, she would have been left alone.
Mo Xuemin left the carriage with Mo Xiu. The driver raised his whip again and they went on their separate ways.
Mo Xueqiong had never gotten along with Mo Xuetong. Now that only the two of them and their maids were left on the carriage, she did not have to pretend to get along. She harrumphed coldly and turned around. She lifted up the curtains and pretended to be looking at the scenery outside. Her right sleeve lifted while no one was paying attention. Some powder fell out and a strong scent spread from her into the air.
She would drug the s.l.u.t and take off her outer clothing. Then, she would throw her into the plum blossom forest. She would see how the little s.l.u.t would get married!
While she was thinking about this happily, she did not notice Mo Xuetong's expression that had grown cold. Mo Ye moved, wanting to attack. Mo Xuetong held her hand and carefully moved to the window. There was wind here and it could blow away the dizzying scent in the air. Mo Xueqiong was so vicious. She had done nothing to Mo Xueqiong, and they had only argued. Yet, she was being so vicious.
If she had not been studying medicine recently, she would have fallen for her scheme.
The two of them were still immersed in their thoughts when suddenly, the carriage emitted a tearing sound. Everyone in the carriage could not help but fall forward. Mo Ye's reaction was fast and she held on to Mo Xuetong which was why she had not gotten injured. On the other side, Mo Xueqiong and her maid fell down, messing up their hair and clothes.
”Misses, please get off the carriage. The carriage broke.” The driver said anxiously outside the carriage doors.
The carriage broke! Mo Xueqiong was extremely anxious. She scrambled off the carriage, not caring that she looked like a mess. She knew that if the drug in the carriage would be hard to disperse without an oncoming breeze. The longer they stayed in it, the more likely something would happen. Furthermore, there was something added to the drug. She did not dare to stay inside.
On the other side, Mo Xuetong put on her hat and veil and walked out of the carriage helped by Mo Ye.
The carriage had indeed broken. The front wheel had been cracked by a stone. It not only shook while it moved, it could barely move.
They looked around them. They were already outside the city and were on the main road. There were not any other horse carriages around them.
”Mo Xuetong, you really are an unlucky person. Something would happen wherever you go. If I had known, I would have gone with Eldest Sister and not stay on your unlucky carriage.” Mo Xueqiong stared at Mo Xuetong angrily, unleas.h.i.+ng her anger on Mo Xuetong.
She could not calm down when she thought of how she might lose the chance to interact with Sima Lingyun.
”Slap...” There was a loud crack that interrupted Mo Xueqiong's complains.
”Mo Xuetong, you s.l.u.t. How dare you hit me...” Mo Xueqiong touched her swollen and painful face as she looked at Mo Xuetong incredulously.
”Slap...” Mo Xuetong slapped her again. Mo Xueqiong could not speak.
”Mo Xueqiong, these two slaps are considered light. You want to plot against me and try to drug me? I did not expect you to already be so vicious at such a young age. I will ask father to decide and we will see who he believes.” Mo Xuetong looked at her coldly. Her deep and dark eyes were filled with coldness. Mo Xueqiong felt really cold as Mo Xuetong looked at her.
