Chapter 160 - A Secret Date in the Palace, and the Maid Sent a Secret Message (2/2)

She looked around and saw everyone talking in small groups. She was the only one in the corner and was not noticeable. She put down the cup and stood up silently. Then she followed the maid to the other side. Beside them, Mo Xuemin was talking to some girl. Then she lifted her eyes and saw the color of Mo Xuetong’s clothes. A slight sign of pride and viciousness appeared by her lips. Then it turned into tenderness, and she continued her chatting and laughter with those misses.

“Where are you from? Is there anything wrong?” Mo Xuetong followed the maid to a quiet corner and stopped to ask.

The maid who was walking in the front turned around and bowed to her, “Are you Third Young Miss Mo? A young master asked me to give this to you.” She presented a piece of paper after the words.

Mo Xuetong took over the note and glanced at it. There were only a few words on it, which said “See you in Qingfang Pavilion at midnight! I knew something about your mom’s death”. There was no signature left on it. However, Mo Xuetong clenched her fist because it’s about her mother’s death.

“Miss, that sir left with the only sentence. He said that if you doubted about it, you would know the truth later. I’ll come to lead you there at the right time.” The maid saw her eyes got clear and cold and answered swiftly before she could ask.

“Where is that sir from?” Mo Xuetong asked though she knew she could get no answer.

The maid hesitated for a while as expected and replied obediently, “I really don’t know which family he belongs to, so I can’t tell you even if I want to. Please forgive me. I don’t know what’s on the note. If you really don’t want to go, I’ll go tell him. Is that okay?”

“There is no need. Thank you for telling me.” Mo Xuetong thought for a while and smiled lightly. Then she took a hairpin with a red diamond from her hair and gave it to the maid. She said gratefully.

“Thank you, miss. I didn’t do much for you and of course can’t take your jewelry.” Seeing such a beautiful golden hairpin, the maid hesitated but finally said no to the temptation.

“You’re too polite. You’ve done me a big favor and I have to give you something in return.” Mo Xuetong held her hand smilingly and warmly put the hairpin in her hand.

“Then I can only be thankful to you. Third miss should stay there by the river bank and wait for me to guide you there.” The maid refused a few times, but in vain, so she just accepted it smilingly and added. After the words, she bowed to Mo Xuetong and left.

This maid was not an average one, for that she naturally avoided her questions. She didn’t tell her where she was from. On one side, she said she knew nothing about the note. On the other side, she offered to lead her there. To tell her the truth about her mom’s death? Mo Xuetong felt the pain in her heart and then smiled coldly. Someone wanted to frame her for this cause, which meant someone knew what happened to her mom and her and that she was doubtful about her mom’s death.

Such a person must be from Mo Manor!

Someone that was from Mo Manor and had something to do with her mom’s death. Now this person had a connection in the palace…

It seemed that Mo Manor was more than complicated…

But she wondered how the maid found her in so many girls. She had been in the palace for only one time. Before that, she had been in Cloud City and hadn’t seen many people. So how could she recognize her so quickly? Thinking of how the maid looked around when she got in and how her eyes brightened when she saw Mo Xuemin, she understood it.

No wonder Mo Xuemin acted so prominently tonight and attracted all the madams and misses around her, leaving her alone and ignored. Mo Xuemin had always acted so gently and would never leave her alone so obviously, which would disgrace their sisterhood.

Her eyes quickly glanced at Mo Xuemin who was standing near, and her eyes turned bleak!

Mo Xuemin had something to do with it again!

When she got back, the party was almost ended. Queen was announcing the list of the final winners. However, unexpectedly, Mo Xuemin was the winner and there were so many crosses on her poem paper, which showed those young masters all appreciated her poem.

Therefore, Mo Xuemin was brought to Queen by maids.
