Chapter 112 - The Fragrance of Plum Blossoms from Qingliang Temple (1/2)

Mdm Qin came to her senses as well when she saw the Princess Royal speaking up for Mo Xuetong. She knew she had to do something or she would offend the princess as well.

She looked at Yu Sirong gravely and then slammed her cane down on the ground heavily. She glared at Yu Sirong and said angrily, “Miss Yu, the Qin family has always been kind to you and Tong’er has always treated you as an elder sister. How could you do something like that? You were the one who slammed into the mountain yourself, but insisted that it was Tong’er who did it. Do you really want to doom her to death? Do you really think that no one would help her? Since you are so vicious, the Yu and Qin families will no longer have any more ties.”

This meant that she was standing on Mo Xuetong’s side.

Mdm Qin then looked at Mo Xuetong who was standing by the side. Mo Xuetong looked wronged and was biting her lips anxiously. However, she did not make a fuss nor cry and seemed lonely and sad. Mdm Qin felt bad, as if she had really wronged the child. She shuffled towards Mo Xuetong who was looking down, standing strong despite being sad.

She embraced Mo Xuetong and said dotingly, “Tong’er, child, it’s been hard on you. It is all grandaunt’s fault. I didn’t get all the facts and almost got you into trouble. These people are mad. How can they try to do something like that to you? Fortunately, you were lucky that these evil people have gotten what they deserved.”

She felt bad as she spoke and started crying.

Mdm Yu was fl.u.s.tered. If the two families broke all ties, she would lose connection with her family. How could she not be worried? She stepped forward and wanted to plead on behalf of Yu Sirong but was stopped by the maid beside her. The maid looked at the Princess Royal respectfully and gestured to Mdm Yu. Mdm Yu gritted her teeth and forced her words down.

She was no only a daughter of the Yu family, she was also a daughter-in-law of the Qin family.

Yu Sirong had already fainted. She was angry and ashamed and could not bear to look at anyone in the eye, so she fainted. The Yu family maids panicked and screamed.

Mdm Chen did not dare to say much. She curtsied to the Princess Royal together with her servants and left.

The others in the temple who were wise enough had already left silently. Even though some things were known to all without anyone having to say anything, everyone pretended not to know since the Princess Royal did not say anything.

The Princess Royal glanced at Mo Xuetong again when she left. Her eyes were deep and there was a meaningful smile on her lips. Then, she turned and brought her servants with her.

The Princess Royal lived in the room named “Sky”.

Feng Yuran sat there lazily. There was a vague smile on his stunning face as he sat lazily on the nanmu wood chair. However, that did not affect the beautiful slender lines of his body. His stunning face looked as if it had been carved exquisitely. His brows were thick and long, extending into his hair. His nose was tall and his thin lips were red and moist. The sun shone in through the windows and on his handsome face that one could get drunk on with just a glance.

He wore purple robes that made him look handsome and enchanting. The wind blew, lifting up his dark locks of hair, enthralling others with his charm and beauty.

“Little Eighth, you came to me in such a panic because of her?” The Princess Royal asked with a smile the moment she entered the room.

The handsome young man turned around. His eyes were filled with emotions. He was a natural beauty. No one could resist him if he took just one look at them even if it meant that they would be d.a.m.ned.

“Aunt, you are the most righteous. You would help out in such a situation even without me asking.” Feng Yuran said with a smile that reached his eyes.

“So you schemed against me!” The Princess Royal harrumphed. Even though her tone was sharp, there was a hint of a smile in her eyes. She did not seem stern at all.

“I heard that you and her mother used to be good friends. You won’t be willing for her to suffer, right, Aunt?” Feng Yuran’s eyes turned and he changed the topic.

“You rascal.” The Princess Royal scolded him with a smile and smacked him on the head. She then sat down. A palace servant had already brought her tea. She picked up her cup and took two sips before setting it down. She asked, “Your father would be angry if he finds out that you’ve slipped out.”

“But there’s still you! As long as you help to praise me in front of him, he would not do anything to me as long as nothing goes wrong.” Feng Yuran smiled and lifted his brows.

“You can’t behave like this. Be careful these days. Now that something like that has happened to Mingguo Manor, I fear that the capital would not be peaceful these days.” The Princess Royal said worriedly.

They had not only entered the inner courtyard, but they had also even taken the young ladies from inside. This was no small matter. There were many little things that had all been uncovered and the situation in the capital was now a little tense.

“Aunt, don’t worry. I will be careful.” Feng Yuran stood up and hoisted himself with one hand onto the window. Then, he was outside the room in the next moment.

“You are already so old, but you still behave like this. You can’t even walk properly.” The Princess Royal scolded with a smile.

“Aunt, I came out here secretly and no one must find out. Otherwise, Father will punish me again.” Feng Yuran’s figure disappeared from the window, leaving behind a laugh.

The Princess Royal sighed lightly as she looked at the direction where Feng Yuran disappeared into. Her expression turned grave.
