Chapter 183 - There Were So Many Pieces of Jewelry (2/2)

Mo Yu leaned over to see the box and saw the palace’s signs at the front and both sides. “Miss, it really says made in the palace at the bottom. You have such sharp eyesight and can see it from such a distance. As maids, we don’t have much knowledge of these things and also thought these were average accessories. The box of jewelry was actually a gift from the palace.”

Her words praised Mo Xuetong and belittled Lan Xinru at the same time. It’s common for the maids to be ignorant. But Lan Xinru was from a famous family who said they were shabby jewelry. This implied her knowledge was the same as those of the maids.

However shameless Lan Xinru was, she was ashamed and angry now. Her face turned dark and then pale. She felt so embarra.s.sed that she glared at Mo Yu with hatred. However, the maid pretended to be looking at the box and ignored her looks which were as sharp as knives.

Seeing the jewelry made in the palace, Mo Xuetong rolled her watery eyes and knew it was the follow-up of yesterday’s experience. Last night, the princess proved that Mo Xuetong was in Mingzhu Palace to accompany her. And the princess said she liked Mo Xuetong and would give her some presents. “Father, this was given to me by the princess. You can’t lie to me and should give me something on your own.”

When she was in the palace, she saw the empress, imperial n.o.ble consorts, and other n.o.bility. But aside from the princess, she wasn’t familiar with any of them, and they definitely wouldn’t give her any gifts. Besides, if it was given to her father, it must be honorable. Therefore, it couldn’t be anyone else except for the princess.

Seeing that his daughter was so intelligent, Mo Huawen started to laugh, “All right. My presents for you are ready, as are those from your grandparents. I’ll have them sent to you later.”

It would be quite a lot combing what Mo Huawen prepared with those sent by General Manor . It must be calculated first and then sent here so that Tong’er could have it on her own. When he saw Tong’er’s baggage for the first time, Mo Huawen felt bad for her. He had no idea his truly beloved daughter was so poor and miserable.

Auntie Fang had cheated him! How could he have believed such an evil woman? Leaving Tong’er under her protection was truly putting a little lamb into the hands of a hungry wolf!

His hatred towards Auntie Fang was only matched by his shame towards Mo Xuetong! And he thought of Luo Xia who protected him so much!

This was exactly what Mo Xuetong wanted. She hated Auntie Fang and Mo Xuemin so much. When she was burned in the big fire, she felt the pain in her soul and craziness in her heart. She hated Sima Lingyun and Lan Xinru, but she hated the mother and daughter the most.

Her face got disfigured by Yu Sirong, and she’d married Sima Lingyun because of Auntie Fang’s secret order. And she led a low and disgraceful life in Duke Zhenguo’s manor because of Mo Xuemin. She had treated them with so much love and trust, but they were just pretending to be nice to her. In the end, it was just a joke planned by them, and they would only treat her tragedy and pain like a joke. Mo Xuetong would never let go of such hatred.

What she had achieved was far from enough. Mo Xuemin had framed her over and over again, and she would make them as miserable as in h.e.l.l!

She had been very thrifty for this day, which was only known by her and her maids. Coming back from Cloud City, Mo Xuetong carried nothing but a few taels of silver. Her mother’s dowry had already been taken to the capital with her father.

She ate and lived in Qin Manor, which also cost her a lot. Besides, she didn’t have a good relations.h.i.+p with Mo Huawen and never asked him for money. Therefore, she only had a little money which was given by her mother. But there was only a little money and a few accessories that were given by her mother in private. When she was in Qin Manor, she began to know how important money was.

When living in another’s house, if you weren’t generous and gave them money, even a servant could push you around!

So when she came to the capital, Mo Xuetong’s money had all been used up!

Those taels of silver were left by Mother Xu, who lived thriftily and saved it for an emergency.

Seeing them chatting and being emotional, Lan Xinru looked at Mo Xuetong with hatred. Though Old Madam’s idea was mean and cheap, once she married into Mo Manor, she would be the main wife and everything would be in her charge!

When she got back, she would prepare…
