Chapter 93 Auntie Fang Announces Her Pregnancy (1/2)

”Miss, I told you not to copy the scriptures last night and told you that your body can't take it, but you refused to listen. Look at you now, you haven't done anything and you're ill again. The Old Madam told me before she left not to let you tire yourself out, or she would punish me. Please listen to me seeing how hard I try to wait on you. Please rest more and work less. It is more important for you to recover completely.”

Mo Yu's nagging was not any weaker than Mother Xu's. She complained and pouted, making Mo Xuetong laugh.

”You la.s.s, how can Miss praise you with that mouth of yours? Let Miss wash her face first. We brought porridge from the front. Miss, you haven't eaten yet and must be hungry.” Mo Lan entered, holding a bowl of fragrant porridge. She put down the bowl carefully on the table and set up the cutlery.

”Miss, get up and drink some porridge first, or Mo Lan will say that I am being thoughtless. Mo Lan made the porridge today. She hasn't cooked in a long time, and I really want to eat the porridge that she cooked.” Mo Yu helped Mo Xuetong off the bed and smiled as she helped her with was.h.i.+ng up. She even lifted her nose and sniffed, ”It smells great!”

Mo Lan made really good porridge, she would make some from time to time while they were in Cloud City. Then, there were not many who were concerned about Mo Xuetong in the Qin manor. If they wanted to eat anything good, they had to make it themselves. Mo Lan and Mother Xu would buy fresh ingredients outside to make nouris.h.i.+ng food for Mo Xuetong. They would cook it themselves and make tasty porridge and dishes.

”Has Father gone to see Grandmother after his return?” The exquisite white porridge was very tasty. It was very appetizing when eaten with crunchy cuc.u.mbers. This was especially so since Mo Xuetong was really hungry. She had not had a meal since yesterday, and she ate two whole bowls before she stopped. After rinsing her mouth, she leaned against her pillows, resting her hand on her stomach in satisfaction. She asked Mo Lan while Mo Lan was cleaning up the table.

”I heard that Old Sir had only just met the old madam when the imperial edict arrived. He might still be unaware of what happened to First Miss!” Mo Lan knew what Mo Xuetong wanted to know. She looked up with a smile.

”Did Eldest Sister not do anything?” Mo Xuetong's brows lifted and she sprawled back against the pillow, blinking naughtily as she asked Mo Lan.

”First Miss is being really quiet. The doors to Fuqing Garden are tightly shut and nothing happened. Mo Xiu came out once. I heard that she had hurt herself trying to save First Miss. There were wounds all over her hands and legs when she came out that one time.”

Mo Xiu was Mo Xuemin's most capable maid. There used to be Mo Jin as well, but after her mysterious disappearance, Mo Xiu became Mo Xuemin's only probe to the outside world.

”Mo Yu, were you from the same village as Mo Xiu?” Mo Xuetong laid across the pillows and asked Mo Yu lazily. Mo Yu was taking out needle and thread, preparing to do some embroidery.

”Miss, you still remember that. Mo Xiu is not just from the same village as I am. Her mother is a distant cousin of my mother. If we were really to talk about this, she could be considered my mother's cousin.” Mo Yu thought about it and answered.

”Since she is your cousin, Mo Yu, don't you intend to visit your injured cousin?” Mo Xuetong glanced at Mo Yu pointedly.

”Miss, you mean…” Mo Yu was a little hesitant.

”Miss did not mean anything. She's just telling you to visit your cousin and show your concern for her. It is rare for one to have a relative in the same manor. How can you not visit her? She's injured and has no one to care for her. That's not very nice.” Mo Lan understood what Mo Xuetong meant and she spoke with a smile.

”Oh…I understand.” Mo Yu was an intelligent person and she immediately understood with Mo Lan's counsel. She put down the needle and thread in her hands and stood up. ”Miss, I really miss my cousin. It is difficult for her, for she only had time to go out now even after suffering such severe injuries. I have to go and show concern for her and tell her about some things about Mo Jin.”

”Girl, you're so bad.” Mo Xuetong's lively eyes smiled as she scolded.

”I am a good person. I am going to go and show my cousin how concerned I am for her. How can I be a bad person? Miss, you go sleep for a while. I will go and visit my cousin now.” Mo Yu had long understood Mo Xuetong's intentions. She laughed and lifted the curtains, leaving with a jaunty smile.

Mo Xuetong's gaze landed on the wavering curtains after Mo Yu left. Her thoughts were a jumbled mess and she was somewhat dazed. She would never believe that Mo Xuemin had quieted down because she had accepted fate. However, what exactly was Mo Xuemin planning!

The d.u.c.h.ess would never allow Mo Xuemin to become the family's main wife. Even though their father had been promoted, a concubine's daughter was a concubine's daughter. With the d.u.c.h.ess' characteristics, she would definitely not relent. Sima Lingyun would not dare to go against her wishes and marry Mo Xuemin.

Furthermore, Sima Lingyun was ambitious.

Marrying Mo Xuemin, who was just a powerless concubine's daughter meant that they might get the backing of the Yu family. However, no matter how long the Yu family's reach was, they were just officials that were not from the capital. They had to find a way to stay in the capital, so how could they help him. A d.u.c.h.ess like this would not only fail to help Sima Lingyun but would also be a burden on him. How could Sima Lingyun agree?

In her past life, Mo Xuemin and Sima Lingyun had plotted against her and poisoned her to death. For the position as Sima Lingyun's main wife, Mo Xuemin had not even let her young son off. When she thought of that Mo Xuemin seemed to be able to feel the searing pain of the fire burning on her skin. Her heart felt as if it had cracked and she crushed the handkerchief in her hand into a ball.

There was a hint of blood that glinted in her eyes!

She would definitely send those two to h.e.l.l in this life, and she would destroy them with her hands. The blood-filled revenge had to be paid with blood. She could not forget how her child's soft body stiffened slowly in her embrace. She could not forget how Mo Xuemin pinched her chin and forced the poison down her throat with Sima Lingyun. Her pain blistered and boiled in that raging fire while Mo Xuemin smiled with satisfaction outside…

No matter what Mo Xuemin planned, she would not let her off!
