Chapter 85 Expose the Toxic Mo Xuemin (2/2)
Mo Xuetong's heart hurt. Her fingers gouged into her palms and she looked down, hiding the hatred in her eyes. Mo Xuemin truly thought that she was still that ignorant Mo Xuetong. She wanted her to pretend to be Mo Xueqiong and even said that Mo Xuetong's reputation was good. If she truly admitted to it, then what else could her father or the Luo manor say when the Duke's Manor asked to marry Mo Xuetong?
Who else could she marry if her reputation was ruined? Everyone would only praise Sima Lingyun for being a true man if the Duke's Manor was willing to take responsibility. They would be praised for willing to marry Mo Xuetong because they were considerate towards her reputation. However, she would fall into their plot and the tragedy that was her past life would repeat once more. She would fall into h.e.l.l after Sima Lingyun was done using her, and she would never be able to raise her head up high ever again.
A woman whose reputation had been ruined would be looked down upon even if she was married.
This was a good plot of Mo Xuemin's!
Her fingers gouged deeply into her palms and the intense pain brought back a hint of clarity in her red eyes.
That was what Mo Xuemin had planned, but she would not let Mo Xuemin get what she wanted. She looked up and smiled coldly, staring at Mo Xuemin's concerned expression. Her voice was devoid of any warmth as she said, ”Eldest Sister, you want me to admit to losing my reputation so that I can be married into the Duke's Manor, right? Eldest Sister, you have spent so much effort helping the fallen Duke's Manor with such a plot. I wonder what benefits His Excellency Sima gave you for you to set up such a scheme. You can even use the reputations of the Mo daughters as a chess piece. I can really see how ambitious you are.”
Since they had already had a falling out, then there was not much she had to consider. ”I wonder if you have considered that you will also be implicated in the matter when you try to ruin your younger sister's reputation. Even though I am just the Third Miss of the Mo family, I am Father's only main daughter. If something were to really happen to me, it would be an embarra.s.sment to the other young ladies of the Mo Manor. Sima Lingyun had tried to ruin Fourth Sister's reputation. You did not pursue the matter but you are asking me to take responsibility for it. Those who do not know will think that you are not versed in etiquette and are shameless…”
”Third Sister, how could you say that of me…” Mo Xuetong's expression changed immediately, scolding Mo Xuemin so severely that Mo Xuemin was stunned. Then, Mo Xuemin immediately reacted. She turned around and lunged beside the old madam's stove bed. She picked up her handkerchief and covered her face with it. She knelt at the old madam's feet and cried bitterly.
”Grandmother, you have to speak up for Min'er. How could Third Sister say that of Min'er? I have been considerate towards her, but I became that sort of person to her. Grandmother, grandmother… Min'er might as well die after being accused of something like that.”
She could not speak again, pulling on the old madam's robe and sobbed. Then, she suddenly stood up and rushed towards a pillar, trying to slam herself against it.
Behind her, Mo Xiu pulled on her, holding her tightly as she cried out anxiously, ”Old Madam, help. Save First Miss. Third Miss, how could you say that of First Miss? When Old Sir finds out about this when he returns, he would be very angry. Even if you blame Old Sir for leaving you behind in Cloud City without asking about you or caring, it has nothing to do with my mistress. How can you unleash your anger on her? Our mistress has always done everything with your sisterly relations.h.i.+p in mind and wanted to end the matters today well. Why did you make her out to be a completely different person?”
