Chapter 86 Mo Xuetong Kneels in the Ancestral Hall as Punishment (2/2)

Lady Xian also knew the truth about this matter. Those n.o.ble ladies were invited to the General Manor right after they left Mo Manor. The General Manor would have found out about this long ago. If she created trouble like the main daughter taking responsibility for the concubine's daughter's mistake, she would not only offend the General Manor, Lady Xian, and even those n.o.blemen and ladies. This was something the Mo Manor could not afford to do.

The old madam immediately forwent her initial ideas when she heard that. Since the situation was already like this, the Duke's Manor would have to bear responsibility even if they did not want to. The old madam felt aggrieved as well. She had wanted to just let the matter settle down without creating too much of a fuss, which was why she had lowered herself in front of the Duke's Manor. However, she had not expected the Duke's Manor to push the blame onto the Mo Manor. Now that she heard that someone would support the truth, she did not care whether the Duke's Manor would be embarra.s.sed at all.

As long as it was proven that Sima Lingyun had touched Mo Xueqiong intentionally, the reputation of the Mo daughters would not be lost

”Grandmother, even so, Third Sister was wrong to leave the two of them in the carriage. When the Duke's Manor asks about that, how will we explain it? We still have to punish Third Sister just to show outsiders that the Mo family has already punished those who did wrong.”

Mo Xuemin could not be appeased since Mo Xuetong had escaped her carefully set up plot. She could not hide the sharpness in her voice and she looked at Mo Xuetong viciously. She wanted to ruin Mo Xuetong. No matter what, she would not allow the little s.l.u.t to get off so easily.

The old madam agreed. The whole matter today had been caused by Mo Xuetong getting off the carriage. Furthermore, Mo Xuetong had used the General Manor against her. It was unfilial and annoying. It was irksome. It was right for her to use the opportunity to punish her for it.

She did not allow Mo Xuetong to argue and said coldly,” Min'er is right. It is impossible for the Mo Manor to not have any responsibility at all in this matter. Don't say anything else. Go to kneel in the ancestral hall for the Mo Manor's reputation. You have to bear responsibility for your own actions.”

”Grandmother, how long does she have to kneel for? Her health is poor…” Mo Xuemin tried hard to hide the satisfaction she felt and pretended to be concerned.

”It is such a huge mistake, why do you still have to ask me how long she has to kneel for? If she is sensible, she will just go there and kneel. She has gone out and created trouble even when her health is poor. If she feels well, she might tear down the Mo Manor.” The old madam had never liked Mo Xuetong and she was especially angry now. She just wanted the troublemaker to go away for she felt annoyed just looking at her.

”Grandmother, Third Sister's health is poor. Kneeling for an entire night is too long. She won't be able to take it.” There was a glint of viciousness in Mo Xuemin's eyes. She had already made plans and said that the old madam wanted Mo Xuetong to kneel for an entire night.

”She won't be able to take it, then she won't do something like this in the future. Go.” The old madam truly did not wish to see Mo Xuetong. She felt that Mo Xuetong was in the wrong no matter what. She waved her hand and gestured for them all to leave.

Two female servants came up wanting to drag Mo Xuetong to the ancestral hall.

Mo Xuetong swept her eyes upon them coldly, her dark eyes looking at them coldly. The two servants s.h.i.+vered and lowered their heads. They feel that Third Miss seemed very powerful and they did not dare to cross her.

”Many thanks for your punishment, Grandmother.” Mo Xuetong stood up and bowed deeply to the old madam. Then, she turned around and brought Mo Ye to the ancestral hall with her.

She had seen the viciousness that had turned into satisfaction in Mo Xuemin's eyes. It was obvious that Mo Xuemin had another idea for a plot against her. She had ignored her outward appearance of graciousness and gentleness and had said something like that in front of the old madam. She must have a new plot against Mo Xuetong.

That's fine. She had to kneel in the ancestral hall no matter what. It might even bring Mo Xuemin some satisfaction!

She had not managed to tear away Mo Xuemin's mask in the day. This might be a good opportunity for her. She rather antic.i.p.ated what will happen tonight.

The two servants brought Mo Xuetong to the ancestral hall which was in a slightly secluded spot on the property. The two servants closed the door loudly after the two entered and then left.

”Miss, are you really going to kneel here?” Mo Ye looked at the little room that only had one altar table in it. There were several futons on the floor, but the room was otherwise empty other than this. There was not even a place in the room for them to get warm. Cold wind blew in through the window, and she felt that it was cold even with her martial arts skills. How would her mistress be able to take it?

”I won't have to kneel for long. My good Eldest Sister would not let me be so comfortable!” Mo Xuetong knelt down respectfully before her mother's tablet, speaking after she kowtowed.

”Get Mo Feng to watch Mo Xuemin. How would she be able to bear it after being dealt such a big blow.” Mo Xuetong stood up and took the candle that Mo Ye pa.s.sed her and lit the incense in the pot. The refres.h.i.+ng scent added a certain mystery and coldness to her innocent face.

Mo Xuemin's plan had failed, she would be mad and hysterical. She had been forced to this step and she would definitely not be so careful next!
