Chapter 149 - Lan Xinru Entered Mo Manor (2/2)

Mo Xuetong understood that Mo Xueyan meant she was not filial, obedient and was unrespectful for Old Madam. On hearing her words, Old Madam got more unhappy and just stared at Mo Xuetong coldly without any words. Old Madam had no good impression of Mo Huawen’s three daughters. She had thought that Mo Xuemin was smart and obedient, but the girl caused such a scene.

It wasn’t completely solved until now. Although the Li’s family didn’t bring them any trouble and Mo Xuemin’s incident was under control, no one could be sure it wouldn’t be known by others! If the news was let out, Old Madam didn’t care about the reputation of Mo Huawen’s daughters. But she wouldn’t let others ruin Yaner’s reputation.

Old Madam knew nothing about how it was dealt. Mo Huawen just said it wasn’t the proper time and would talk about the marriage later, which Old Madam needn’t be worried about. Old Madam knew what Mo Huawen said was sensible that it was not the time to agree on the marriage with the Li’s, which would completely ruin Mo Xuemin’s reputation. Although Li Youmo stressed that he talked with You Yuecheng in a low voice and no one could have heard it. Except for them, no one would know it was Mo Xuemin who appeared on Fragrance House that night.

But Mo Huawen was pretty cautious about it and thought it was necessary to slow the whole thing down. After some time when people in the capital no longer talked about it, the Mo’s could discuss the marriage with the Li’s again, and there would no longer be so many harmful rumors. It would benefit both the Mo’s and the Li’s. After all, the Li’s didn’t want an ill-honored daughter-in-law.

However, Li Youmo insisted on marrying Mo Xuemin right away, and Old Madam in Li Manor, who deeply loved her grandson, supported him. But Minister Li was sensible and knew they couldn’t hurry over it. It had something to do with both of their reputations. Therefore, after he discussed it with Mo Huawen, he locked Li Youmo at home to force him to study and ignored Old Madam’s shouts and worries!

After Mo Xuemin’s affair, Old Madam was unsatisfied with her. When Mo Xuemin came to greet her, she didn’t even let the door open. On Mo Xuetong’s way here, she saw Mo Xuemin locked out in the distance. Then Mo Xuemin just walked out with an obedient smile, and didn’t care about Old Madam’s anger towards her.

On their separate ways, though they didn’t run into each other, they saw each other in the distance. They both smiled and walked on their own ways!

Compared with Old Madam, Mo Xuemin was the one hard to deal with!

“Second sister, Tong’er didn’t dare to be angry in front of grandma. But the maid was so rude that she spoke before grandma. Is there no one to serve grandma? When I thought about that, I felt very sad, so my expression was not so good. I’ll find dad and ask him to send more people to serve grandma.” Mo Xuetong gently smiled at Old Madam and explained, but her smile contained something unknown.

It seemed that Old Madam was the one in charge on the surface, but sometimes, the maids acted out of line. It’s rude for a maid or even a miss or a master and they would be looked down upon. This kind of behavior was presumptuous. It’s improper to let her maid speak before Old Madam to Mo Xuetong.

Although Lan Xinru was thick-skinned, she got flushed. She had made enough preparation before she came and decided to build a close relations.h.i.+p with Mo Xuetong even if Mo Xuetong didn’t care for her. Her idea was in accordance with Old Madam’s that once she was here, she wouldn’t leave until she became the mistress in Mo Manor.

But to become the mistress in Mo Manor, she had to get Mo Xuetong’s permission first. It was said that girl who had been deserted had the most concern and love now. If it’s in the past, Lan Xinru wouldn’t fawn on Mo Xuetong like that. But now it’s different. Her aunt told her that Mo Xuetong was Mo Huawen’s treasure and it’s good to maintain a good relations.h.i.+p with her.

“Third miss, you misunderstood what I meant. There were too many people taking care of grandma. Look, who is this? Aunt Xinru is here! She has been busy taking care of grandma the minute she got here and ordered her maids to do the same. She is afraid that grandma isn’t taken good care of.” Although Mo Xueyan was harsh, she knew Mo Xuetong’s words were true. Therefore, she rolled her eyes and introduced Lan Xinru, who was standing on the side, without satire.

When Lan Xinru realized they were talking about her, she walked to them with warm smiles, tired to hold Mo Xuetong’s hand, and said warmly, “I wondered who it was with such glamor, so did my aunt. There you are. You’re getting prettier and prettier. After a few years, Third Miss must be the first beauty in the capital. Your glamor isn’t comparable.”

Lan Xinru behaved so warmly that she seemed to have an extremely close relations.h.i.+p with Mo Xuetong. She flattered Mo Xuetong in order to bring them closer to each other. Those who didn’t know their true relations might think she was Mo Xuetong’s aunt by blood. Mo Feng was right that Old Madam and Lan Xinru were very thick-skinned. They were planning to have Mo Xuetong call Lan Xinru aunt? Mo Xuetong smiled coldly.

Mo Xuetong knew once she called Lan Xinru aunt, she would use this convenience to move in. Even if one day when grandma went back, Lan Xinru could stay on this status.

“She is counting on my young age and shyness that I wouldn’t refuse the trick!”

But it might have to be in vain.

Mo Xuetong smiled lightly and held back her hand from Lan Xinru’s hand. She walked to grandma and bowed, “Greetings to grandma, how are you today? I’ll send a doctor here later. Dad can’t sleep well these days because he is worried about grandma’s illness.”

She just left Lan Xinru there. When she woke up from the fighting and miseries of the last life, she was no longer the weak and soft Mo Xuetong she used to be.

“Tong’er is filial obedient. I’m getting much better though I still feel the lack of strength. When your father is here, I’ll tell him I’m okay, which will save him a lot of trouble to worry about me! Tong’er, this is your Auntie Xinru, whom you’ve seen before, right?” Seeing Mo Xuetong ignored Lan Xinru on purpose, Old Madam held back her anger and smiled kindly. She pointed at Lan Xinru, who was standing there awkwardly, but grimness appeared in her eyes.

When Xinru became the main wife in Mo Manor, she would give Mo Xuetong a lot to suffer. But now she still needed her recognition, so that Xinru could move in as expected. Old Madam had always wanted Mo Huawen to marry a girl from her home. However, before she decided, Mo Huawen chose Luo Xia by himself back then. They had the support of General Manor, and she was just a concubine of Mo Huawen’s father. So she kept silent.

She had no chance to decline that marriage!

Therefore, she seldom came to Mo Manor these years. Every time she came, she gave Luo Xia a hard time. Luo Xia had bad health but a good temper. She didn’t dare to go against Old Madam because Mo Huawen was respectful for her. She never fought against Old Madam with her status as the first miss in General Manor. However, Mo Huawen saw Old Madam getting Luo Xia in trouble for a few times, and helped Luo Xia a lot.

But it made Old Madam even angrier and she wanted to kill Luo Xia even more. But Luo Xia had strong backgrounds so that Old Madam couldn’t hurt her with the name of filial obedience. So she just left so that she wouldn’t get annoyed at seeing her. After so many years, she still held grudges towards Luo Xia and didn’t like Mo Xuetong at all.

When Luo Xia was gone, she was determined to get her niece into Mo Manor.
