Chapter 115 - A Devastating Counterattack (2/2)

They had indeed met at Ruyu Teahouse thrice. However, that was because Yu Sirong wanted to prepare w.a.n.g Yun to plot against Mo Xuetong. She was just bribing him and they were not truly having an affair. He was after all a failed scholar who had been thrown out and she would naturally not fall for him. She would only feel soiled even if she just looked at him.

However, w.a.n.g Yun was speaking the truth. Others would be able to ascertain that they had met if they checked and they would not be able to tell the reason for their meeting.

Yu Sirong opened her mouth but was speechless.

Mdm Chen had squeezed through the crowd and the two female servants behind her pulled w.a.n.g Yu away, helping Yu Sirong out.

The scene and what w.a.n.g Yun had said convinced the few people who were still suspicious. w.a.n.g Yun had spoken so confidently, he was probably telling the truth. When they saw how Yu Sirong was speechless, they all felt that w.a.n.g Yun had spoken the truth. They all felt disgusted when they thought of how Yu Sirong had had an affair with a man like this and had done something so shameless but was trying to frame others. The crowd backed away from her.

“Come, take this man away. This fuss is inappropriate.” Mdm Qin went up to Mo Xuetong and pulled on her hand, putting Mo Xuetong behind her protectively. Then, she turned around and looked at Mdm Chen icily and said frostily, “Mdm Chen, Tong’er is a good child and I don’t know how she offended you all. Your First Miss is a capable one and our Xuan’er is not worthy of her. From today on, do not bring up your n.o.ble First Miss together with Xuan’er. Our Qin family is not worthy of the Yu family.”

She had spoken sharply and had brought a stop to Mdm Yu’s thoughts. Mdm Qin had effectively stopped not only Yu Sirong but also all daughters of the Yu family from marrying into the Qin family. No matter whether Yu Sirong was the one who had planned this, Mdm Qin had already put an end to the relations.h.i.+p between both families.

Everyone could see clearly after the fuss today that Mo Xuetong was innocent. There was also the scandal between Yu Sirong and w.a.n.g Yun. According to the laws of Great Qin, what would follow next was business between the two families and had nothing to do with anyone else. As such, Mdm Qin pulled Mo Xuetong away angrily after she said her piece.

Mdm Yu who was standing behind her hesitated. She glanced at Yu Sirong who was stunned and Mdm Chen, who looked very much ashamed. Then, she gritted her teeth and followed Mdm Qin, leaving the place. She was firstly the matriarch of the Qin family before she was a daughter of the Yu family. A daughter who was married out was like water that had been thrown out. If she continued standing there, she would only be splashed by the dirty water. So she did not dare to stay.

“Aunt, Aunt…” Yu Sirong cried out resentfully behind her. Mdm Yu paused but did not stop. Then, she hurried after Mdm Qin and left the place. She still had a son and she could not drag his reputation down.

The Madams and young ladies present looked at Mdm Chen and Yu Sirong coldly when they saw Mdm Qin leaving. They looked at them in disdain and then left.

“Mother, mother! Mother, send someone to beat that s.l.u.t to death. Beat her to death.” Mdm Qin’s words rang in her ears. Yu Sirong was completely stunned. She screamed, out of control, when she regained her senses. This was all Mo Xuetong’s fault. She had been disfigured because of her and her reputation had been besmirched because of her. She could not marry her cousin because of her. How could Yu Sirong bear this shame?

She was going to kill her. She was going to kill the woman who had hurt her!

“Slap!” A heavy slap landed on Yu Sirong’s face on where her wound was. Fresh blood flowed. Yu Sirong held her hand against her face subconsciously, losing all color in her face.

Yu Sirong was still screaming after such an embarra.s.sment without regard for their reputation. Mdm Chen was so angry that she was shaking from head to toe. She slapped Yu Sirong viciously and ordered people to gag her and drag her home. She was too embarra.s.sed to stay there and immediately ordered for a carriage and headed home.

w.a.n.g Yun saw that no one was paying attention to him. His mind whirled and he hurried out. However, before he could get too far, someone hit him heavily on his head and everything went black. He slumped down and did not have a chance to even make a sound before he fainted.

Mo Xuetong felt dizzy when she left Mdm Qin and returned to her room. She had not felt dizzy earlier during the argument. But she was covered in cold sweat right now. She held on to Mo Lan’s shoulders and shut her eyes. She felt slightly dizzy and weak. The injuries on her neck and arms burned with pain.

“Miss, do you feel unwell?” Mo Lan helped her to sit down and did not ask anything else but showed concern for her health. She had watched her mistress over the past few days and she knew that her mistress was no longer weak or useless. She thought long and hard with every step she took. Mo Lan knew that her mistress would naturally tell her what she needed to know and she would not ask about things that she should not know about.

Mo Xuetong shook her head and shut her eyes tiredly. She said, “You can go, I will rest for a while!”

She truly felt tired. She had been plotted against again and again after her rebirth and she was afraid of making the wrong move at every step. Those people were really vicious and would not rest until she was destroyed. She felt physically and mentally exhausted as she leaned back into the couch!

Mo Lan only felt heartache when she looked at her mistress’ weak and pale face. Then, she left unhurriedly.

She still felt heartache for her mistress even though her mistress was now mature and intelligent. Her mistress was only 13. If Madam was still around, would her mistress need to depend on herself so much! With Madam’s protection, her mistress would still be weak.

“What’s the matter? Are you too into character and can’t get out of character?” A mocking voice could be heard from the side. The voice was lazy and teasing. It was a person whom she could not figure out.

This person was really hard to get rid of. But it was someone she did not dare to offend. Mo Xuetong sighed softly and turned to the other side!
