Chapter 149 - Lan Xinru Entered Mo Manor (1/2)
Lan Xinru was so thick-skinned and would definitely have Mo Xuetong’s father marry her with every means she could think of. Besides, Old Madam supported her. Even if Mo Xuetong’s father didn’t agree at first, they still had so many reasons to achieve the goal. Was that the reason why Mo Xuetong was so annoyed? She had been hurt so badly since last life!
Mo Xuetong leaned aside and thought it wasn’t Lan Xinru or Mo Xuemin who were so smart, but that she was too dumb. She was cheated by her own affections and thought Auntie Fang and Mo Xuemin were nice to her. Besides, she thought Sima Lingyun was truly in love with her. So, she got herself ended up in h.e.l.l!
Now after she objectively a.n.a.lyzed how Lan Xinru really was, she realized the reason was her stupidity rather than their power.
Looking at the food box, Mo Xuetong was reminded of her last life and felt complex.
“Miss, what’s wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable? Do you need to see a doctor?” Mo Feng had already sensed Mo Xuetong’s abnormality and felt doubtful about Mo Lan’s explanation. When she saw Mo Xuetong smiling bitterly, she couldn’t hold back her curiosity and asked.
“Nothing. I just want to know what’s been prepared for today? Did Miss Lan prepare something special and tasty for us?” Setting her worries aside, Mo Xuetong stood by the table and glanced at the dishes which were placed by Mo Yu and smiled.
“Miss, you’re so brilliant and made the right guess.” Mo Yu put the stove down and made a fuss. Then she took out a bowl of soup from the bottom of the box which was very eye-catching for its color of white and green “This is called borsch. Miss Lan knows you’re weak and don’t have a good appet.i.te. So she made this appetizer especially for you. She also said she would prepare it for you tomorrow if you like it!”
Lan Xinru did so much to win her favor and cooked for her in person before they met each other. No wonder she won Sima Lingyun’s heart.
“Okay, just put it there. We should all have a taste of it and see how are Miss Lan’s cooking skills.” Mo Xuetong smiled, and then Mo Lan placed the soup. They all got their hands washed and got seated. “Mo Ye, you shall go and have a look whether there is Miss Lan’s soup in my father’s room.”
“Okay!” Mo Ye understood, lifted the curtains and went out. After a while, she went back with the news that there was a bowl of borsch too and that Miss Lan said Mo Xuetong’s father was so busy that the soup could help him get refreshed!
“This soup is a panacea and can heal everything.” Mo Yu laughed and bent over her waist.
“It is indeed. Miss Lan didn’t see herself as an outsider and did so much to win old sir’s and our miss’s favor.” Mo Lan added smilingly.
“Our manor is so special and Miss Lan isn’t the only one who doesn’t see herself as an outsider.” Mo Ye waved her hand and gathered Mo Yu and Mo Lan, smiling sneakily. “I just saw that sir! He was heading to first miss’s residence. If I didn’t know he was forth miss’s future husband, I might mistake him for first miss’s!”
“Who was it?” Mo Yu blinked her eyes and asked hurriedly.
“Who else could it be? His Excellency from Duke’s manor. I just saw Mo Xiu took him to first miss’s Fuqing Garden through the small path. And I followed them to find that he really went in.” Mo Ye smiled and answered.
Sima Lingyun went to Mo Xuemin’s Fuqing Garden. Mo Xuemin didn’t even fix her own thing, and why did she look for Sima Lingyun? Mo Xuetong put her chopsticks down and wiped her mouth slowly. She coldly smiled and thought Mo Xuemin was really worried now!
But it’s a good thing. During these days, Mo Xuemin had no way out. Mo Xuetong would see how she would react next. The more anxious Mo Xuemin was, the more mistakes she would make…
The next morning, Mo Xuetong went to greet Old Madam. Just after she entered, the maids and nannies treated her more warmly than usual. The maid who lifted the curtains said smilingly, “Third miss is here. Come on in. Old Madam is waiting for you, and she just asked how you are doing. It’s cold today and you are so weak, thus you have to be extremely careful.”
Before Mo Xuetong could answer, a voice came. “Xiaolian, why talking to third miss by the door. Let her in and don’t make her cold in such freezing weather.”
“Yes, miss,” The maid called Xiaolian stepped backwards and let Mo Xuetong in. She stood by the side and apologized politely. “Third miss, it’s all my fault. Come on in, our miss has been waiting for you for quite a while.”
“Xiaolian? She is Lan Xinru’s first maid.” Mo Xuetong quietly glanced at the obedient maid. Lianer, how could she forget the girl who had aggressively poured a basin of cold water at her on a cold day? Mo Xuetong and Mo Yu was completely wet and s.h.i.+vered when the wind blew like a knife cutting on her skin!
At that time, Lan Xinru stood in the porch holding the stove and dressed in heavy fur. She ate melon seeds and satirized her with the maids. Mo Xuetong could never forget that kind of shame and dreariness!
In the last life, they were so scornful, but in this life, they were so menial…
Today, the one who followed Mo Xuetong here was Mo Ye, who was neither gentle like Mo Lan nor careful like Mo Yu. When she saw Xiaolian complimented Mo Xuetong by lifting the curtains for her, she was already unhappy. Then she got angrier when she saw her pretending to be caring for Mo Xuetong.
Mo Ye held out to hold Mo Xuetong and blocked Xiaolian away from her. She snorted and directly ignored her compliment and held Mo Xuetong in, leaving the maid alone by the door.
As Lan Xinru’s favored maid, Xiaolian flushed and didn’t know how to act when being ignored. Beside Old Madam was Lan Xinru, who was dressed in a luxuriant green dress. Her face turned pale instantly, and Old Madam’s face darkened.
“Third miss, what happened today? Did anyone make you mad? Why are you unhappy in front of grandma? If you have some trouble, tell grandma who made you mad and let grandma do your justice.” Mo Xueyan said ironically. She sat by the right side of Old Madam, holding a small oven and looking ironical.
Mo Xueyan didn’t like Mo Xuetong, who was obviously prettier than her, so she lifted her eyebrows and looked captious and envious.
