Chapter 121 - Auntie Fang lost her child in Qingwei Garden (1/2)

Since they met, Mo Yufeng who had treated her coldly looked at her thin body and asked with concerns, “Third miss, how are you doing recently? Are you still taking the medicine? The medicine smells fragrant and refres.h.i.+ng. Is there something special?”

“Thanks for your care. There is nothing wrong with my health these days, so I didn’t take any medicine. It is just some flagrant stuff used for clearing heat. Since I like the refres.h.i.+ng smell, I always take it with me around. I can’t sleep well at night and feel listless, so my cousin in Luo Manor asked Sir Bai for some medicine. I always light the incense which made my room flagrant and refres.h.i.+ng. I think the smell is similar to that of the medicine, so I keep using it.” Mo Xuetong took up the tea offered by Mo Yu, tasted a bit and explained.

“Oh, it not only smells fragrant but also has a medical use. I’ll definitely ask Fu General His Excellency to send some here someday. Grandma is aged and always can’t sleep well. Maybe she’ll sleep better with it.” Mo Yufeng asked smilingly with other intentions and gloom appeared in his eyes.

Qin Yufeng said nothing but picked up the cup and drank up the wine. He played with the empty cup quietly and was lost in thought. He stopped the maid who wanted to refill his cup and continued to fiddle with the cup. He didn’t look at anything or anyone but the cup as if he could find something different on it.

“Hearing what you said, I think it may work too. Grandma has a headache because of her bad sleeping. If it would work as you said, I’ll ask Cousin Luo for some more and let grandma have some to use.” Mo Xuetong replied with a smile.

“Third miss uses the incenses every day and is half a doctor now. I heard that you also read some medical-related books. Are you planning to study medicine?” Mo Xuemin said gently with a smile.

“If third miss really gets skilled at studying medicine, it’ll be perfect and you’ll be able to treat grandma’s discomfort. I support you to learn medical skills and I’ll find some medical books for you tomorrow.” Mo Yufeng said with great interest.

His voice was too loud that everyone aside turned around to look at her.

A miss from a rich family studied these while she couldn’t use it. It had profound meanings.

“First brother, it’s too late for you to do that. Third miss has all kinds of medical books. Several days ago, I heard from Mo Yu that third miss was kind of a good doctor now. The medical books she has read are all piled behind the rooms, and there are plenty of them. Am I right?” Mo Xuemin held her handkerchief as if to make fun of her elder brother.

That meant Mo Xuetong actually knew these.

They wanted to let everyone know she was learning medical skills, or they had others plan. Mo Xuetong thought the second guess had more possibilities. But it’s just a guess which wouldn’t hurt.

Heard from Mo Yu? She couldn’t imagine Mo Xuemin would say that in such a way. Everyone knew it was Mo Xiu who tricked Mo Yu to tell, and many people were present when that happened. Of course, Mo Xuetong wouldn’t deny anything at the time. She just lifted her pretty face with shyness and bit her lips. Her face turned red and she said gently, “You’re making fun of me. I know nothing about medical skills.”

Mo Xuemin made such a great effort to make her admit that she knew quite a lot about medical skills.

“How could that be possible? Third miss has read so many medical books so that you must know some basic skills. Don’t worry, I won’t ask you for medical advice. But I’m glad to know there is a female doctor at home.” Mo Yufeng’s eyes blinked and he interrupted Mo Xuetong’s words.

“I heard that Cousin Feng had excellent medical skills too, and you learned it by yourself. Therefore, it’s obvious that those who have wisdom will always find a way out in adversity, which those stupid ones can never think of. Well, let’s stop talking and have a toast.” Suddenly, Mo Yufeng lifted his cup towards Qin Yufeng and Mo Xuetong had no chance to explain.

Then there was no chance for her to explain! Mo Xuetong coldly smiled in her heart and stopped hesitating. She would just wait and see what they would do to her. She turned around and said something to w.a.n.g Yilan.

She looked completely out of stress and didn’t even try to explain for herself, which made Mo Yufeng feel strange. He seemed to have said it on purpose. As everyone knew that, although Mo Xuetong was the legitimate daughter, she was not the most beloved one and didn’t have a close relations.h.i.+p with them. But today, Mo Yufeng mentioned her medical skills over and over again, which made him really suspicious.

Some people focused their eyes on Mo Yufeng with suspicious.

Mo Yufeng felt embarra.s.sed, and then Mo Xuemin changed the topic and chatted on about something else.

Later on, they began to talk about topics they’re interested in and all got delighted. Even Mo Xueqiong became kind and easy to talk with. The furnace in the room got hotter and hotter, and they had already taken off their robe. There was constant laughter coming from the room.

But Mo Xuetong felt a bit uncomfortable. When n.o.body talked to her, she stood up to the side where there was no screen. She stood by the side of the pavilion and appreciated the plum blossoms at the vent. The maids and nannies were serving inside, so there was n.o.body else and it was very quiet there. Though there were only seven or eight of them, the plum blossoms were very beautiful and looked like plenty of plum trees. Whether in bud or in full bloom, they were extremely beautiful.

They went here with the intention of appreciating plum blossoms. But many of them forgot their real purpose when they reached the destination. Most of them forgot they came here to enjoy the plum blossoms. The scent of the plum blossoms added to the beauty of winter.

“Third miss, do you want to go down to admire them? It is too far to see them clearly.” Mo Xuemin dragged w.a.n.g Yilan to her with a smile.

“First miss, it’s not necessary. You can go there with Miss w.a.n.g and fourth miss, and I’d like to stay here. It’s warm inside.” Mo Xuetong answered smilingly.

“Okay then. Fourth miss, Miss w.a.n.g, let’s go there together.” Mo Xuemin didn’t force her this time, and said to Mo Xueqiong and w.a.n.g Yilan.

Several smart maids came up and helped the misses wear the robe, which had been taken off because of the warmth inside. When Mo Xuetong was looking at the plum blossoms alone by the door, no one got her a robe. Now they were so caring.

“Cousin Tong should go down with them, and the view will be better there.” Qin Yufeng also wanted to get out, but he stopped by her side and asked smilingly.

“I don’t necessarily have to get close to watch it clearly. Maybe with confusion, the view will be better.” Mo Xuetong said gently. A flush appeared on her pale face because of the warmth inside, and it made her even more pretty. Her enchanting glamor along with the pure face could rouse anyone’s tender emotions.

She just stood there, and looked delicate and beautiful!
