Chapter 141 - The Beautiful Snake Begging for Sympathy in the Study (2/2)

Even though her father was slightly suspicious, he would have to believe her somewhat!

“That Li Youmo has concrete evidence and so many people saw. You are unwilling, so what do you say we should do?” Mo Huawen groaned and sat down. His expression was indistinguishable as he threw the question to Mo Xuemin.

“Father, that Li Youmo doesn’t know Min’er, so how could he be sure that the person was Min’er. His reputation has always been poor, and not many would believe what he says. Furthermore, the carriage did not have the emblem of the Mo Manor.” Mo Xuemin heaved a secret sigh of relief when she heard Mo Huawen’s tone softening even though it was still a little gruff. She looked up and spoke. This was why she had come in the first place.

“Even though no one would believe what Li Youmo says, but the Ming Duke’s son was there as well. Others would definitely believe him. How will you explain it then?” Mo Huawen continued coldly.

“His Excellency did see Min’er that day, but I can beg him to say he is not sure whether the person he saw was Min’er or not. If he says that he is not certain whether it’s me, Li Youmo would not be able to say for sure that the person he saw was Min’er!” You Yuecheng was the key in this. But Mo Xuemin was confident that she can make You Yuecheng change his statement.

She had gone to Fragrance House to see You Yuecheng in the first place and he had believed what she said. He thought that Mo Xuetong, that la.s.s, was vicious and evil, and had hurt her Auntie and elder sister. He thought that she had not even spared the unborn child in her Auntie’s belly. If she pinned the incident that happened yesterday on Mo Xuetong, You Yuecheng would definitely be willing to help her. Li Youmo would not be able to do anything no matter what he said. She could also plant more ill-will in You Yuecheng’s heart against that s.l.u.t.

It would be killing two birds with one stone.

Mo Xuemin had not expected Mo Xuetong truly had something to do with the incident.

“You will go and persuade the Ming Duke’s son?” Mo Huawen raised his brows coldly. One could not tell how he was feeling.

Mo Xuemin grew happy instantly. She could not hide the joy in her eyes. Mo Xuemin was definitely willing to have more interactions with You Yuecheng and have him sympathize with her even more. She wanted to become the Ming d.u.c.h.ess. Now that she had been framed, she could have the opportunity to plead with You Yuecheng and express how lonely and helpless she was, how weak and pitiful she was. This would move him more than any other words would. She was definitely willing to do that.

“Father, I am willing to go and persuade the Ming Duke’s son and ask him to spare the Mo Manor. It is alright if Min’er’s reputation is ruined, but I cannot implicate my sisters.” Mo Xuemin’s righteous words showed how considerate she was towards her sisters and also how selfless she was. At the same time, she had brought up the fact that if she were really to marry Li Youmo, she would not be the only one to be affected!

Persuade the Ming Duke’s son? Mo Huawen had once had this thought but then had buried it immediately. If it were so easy to persuade You Yuecheng, would he have such a good reputation? He felt angry once more when he saw how well-planned Mo Xuemin was and her righteous expression. He felt that he would definitely explode in anger if he continued watching her!

This was the daughter he had always thought was sensible and obedient! The gracious daughter he had brought up in her boudoir. The situation was already like that, what could she do to make You Yuecheng change his statement? Was it not enough that she had her reputation tainted by Li Youmo and now she wanted to be involved in rumors with You Yuecheng? The incident in which Sima Lingyun carried her out of the fire had only just been smoothed over, and now she was involved with Li Youmo.

No matter how shameless a n.o.ble lady was, she would not make the same mistakes over and over again. What close relations.h.i.+p with her sisters! The last time, she had used Qiong’er as her scapegoat. Even though Mo Huawen had not liked Mo Xueqiong, he knew that he had treated Mo Xueqiong badly in this incident. An unmarried girl who was involved in such an incident would be looked down upon even if she were to marry that man. Furthermore, Qiong’er was going to become a concubine.

Mo Huawen had been observing Mo Xuemin all this while. She had not visited Mo Xueqiong after the incident and had accepted her younger sister’s grace towards her without any qualms. It was as if Mo Xueqiong had really been the person rescued from the fire that day. She had not considered that her younger sister would be looked down upon by her husband’s family and be shamed by others because of this.

She had not been considerate towards her sister at all but had pretended to be in front of others. She was just like Auntie Fang! Mo Huawen suddenly thought of how viciously and harshly Auntie Fang had treated Mo Xuetong and thought of the shame, pain and grievances that Mo Xuetong experienced. Mo Huawen was no longer in the mood to speak with Mo Xuemin and only felt that she was a hypocrite and liar.

“Go!” Mo Huawen waved her away with a fierce expression. He did not even want to see Mo Xuemin…” Go!”

Mo Huawen’s actions surprised Mo Xuemin. She held on to Mo Xiu and the two of them were in shock. When Mo Xuemin saw that Mo Huawen would not even turn around to look at her, she did not give up and scooted forward on her knees, begging him tearfully, “Father, Father!”

Behind the desk, Mo Huawen’s expression was one of tiredness and his frown grew deeper! His eyes, however, remained cold and sharp as he yelled angrily, “Go!”

He was growing more and more disappointed with this daughter!
