Chapter 239 Sending the Evil Woman Back to the Yu Manor
“It has something to do with First Miss?” The veins on Mo Huawen’s forehead twitched. It was obvious that he was about to lose control. He gritted his teeth and asked, “Did First Miss plot together with this evil woman to hurt Third Miss?” If Min’er was already so vicious, he would rather send her to a temple than to let her marry into the Duke Zhenguo’s manor. It would harm and embarra.s.s the entire Mo family.
“No, that’s not it. Auntie Fang found First Miss’ maid, Elder Sister Mo Xiu. First Miss did not come. Auntie Fang was locked up and only Elder Sister Mo Xiu would come to visit Auntie from time to time…” The little maidservant answered whatever she could. She was afraid that she would be beaten to death on the spot if she answered too slowly.
Scheming to hurt one’s master was punishable. She could be flogged to death on the spot.
“Sir Yu, do we still need to question her? If we continue to, we might even find out who was the instigator. Sir Yu has to remember to give us justice.” Mo Huawen smiled coldly at Yu Feng. Then, he turned to say to a servant standing by the side, “Go and get Mo Xiu from First Miss’ courtyard. Ask her to corroborate her account.”
He was very certain that Yu Feng was not innocent in the whole matter. Of course, he would not let go at this point. Yu Manor wanted to plot against and kill his child. They had to bear responsibility for this.
A sharp glint appeared in Auntie Fang’s eyes when she saw Mo Huawen persisting in his investigation. He was going to fight Yu Manor to the end. She knew that Mo Huawen was really angry and she pulled herself up using a tree by her side and screamed, “Old Sir, please don’t investigate any further. I was the one who did it. It was all me and it has nothing to do with anyone else. But should I not!”
She seemed mad. She only thought about all the grievances she had suffered all these years as she gritted her teeth. Her face twisted furiously as she said, “When Madam was ill, I waited on her by her bedside. What did you say then? You said that I was virtuous and that you would make me your legal wife if Madam were to pa.s.s away. Then, Madam pa.s.sed away and you said you wanted to mourn for her. I have been waiting since then.”
“Feng’er is a concubine’s son, and Min’er is a concubine’s daughter. Do you know how people look down on them when they go out? Is it wrong of me to want to become your legal wife? Furthermore, you were the one who promised me. However, ever since the little s.l.u.t returned to the manor, Old Sir, you’ve paid more and more attention to her and didn’t even mention anything about making me your legal wife.”
“Old Sir, since you have not shown thought for our children, I have to. Without the little s.l.u.t, our family would be perfect and happy long ago. Old Sir, I did it for our children. Was I wrong! If you were a woman, you would also probably do everything for your children…”
“Crack!” A palm slammed down heavily and interrupted her.
“s.l.u.t, what do you mean our family would be perfect? You are just a plaything. What family? My legal wife is my wife and she is my family. It is not your place to question anything. How dare a concubine like you dare to say we are a family.” Mo Huawen was so angry he was going mad. He slapped her forcefully in his anger.
Auntie Fang fell and hit the tree again.
“Auntie said she waited on my mother by her bed but did not know why she got weaker and weaker as she served her. Auntie solved my doubts today. Father had promised to make you his legal wife, so my mother did not need to live! Since things are already so, tell me, Auntie, so that my mother can rest in peace.” Mo Xuetong’s eyes glinted with a cold smirk. She stared at Auntie Fang with a razor-sharp glare.
“You had a hand in Luo Xia’s death?” Mo Huawen was very shocked. He did not expect that she was involved in this matter as well. His voice shook as he asked, “You, you… vicious wretch, what did you do?”
Auntie Fang had given up completely after being slapped by Mo Huawen and having seen her brother backing away fearfully. She was not afraid of anything now and only felt that her life was just a delusion. When Luo Xia was still around, she had lived in fear even though she had given birth to his only son. She had not dared to behave arrogantly.
Then, Luo Xia had died. She was in a position of power then and she wanted to make Mo Huawen satisfied so that he would quickly make her his legal wife.
However, she did not expect that all her hard work and plans would end up being destroyed by Mo Xuetong that little s.l.u.t. Auntie Fang gritted her teeth hatefully. Her eyes were bloodshot. Auntie Fang was dizzy with anger and she did not wish to hide anything any longer. She only wanted Mo Xuetong to hurt more and to feel even worse.
“I poisoned your mother to death. It was a pity. Your mother did not know that the water she drank every day was filled with poison. She drank it bit by bit and it would have been difficult for her to survive. Since that stupid mother of yours refused to leave her place as the legal wife, then I have to make sure she dies. Didn’t you think that it was odd, why you almost died in the Qin Manor’s lake…”
“Sister!” Yu Feng shouted hurriedly for her to stop.
Auntie Fang ignored him. She glared at Mo Xuetong viciously and said, “That’s right. I got Mo Zhu to do it. I didn’t expect you to be so lucky. That you would survive even after that and that you would regain consciousness. Do you want to know more? Do you know why you were so ill after your mother died and couldn’t come to the capital with us? I was the one to do it too, of course. If I had been more vicious then and taken your life, would you be able to run wild now?”
Her mother had indeed died in Auntie Fang’s hands. Mo Xuetong’s fingers shook. Tears rolled down her pale face. Her eyes, which were like pieces of dark jade, shone with icy coldness, sadness, pain, anger, and hatred… The various emotions swirled together. The complicated emotions made her heart hurt. For who would be so pale and shake like her unless they were in enormous pain?
Mo Huawen could not bear it any longer after listening to what Auntie Fang said and seeing the pain on Mo Xuetong’s face. He walked up to Auntie Fang and kicked her forcefully. Auntie Fang was thrown into the air and almost stopped breathing.
“Sir Yu, take your sister away. You have already signed the doc.u.ments, you would not go back on your words, would you?” Mo Huawen hated the Yu family and would not be nice to them. If not for the fact that she was the birth mother of his two children, he would have flogged her to death.
He did not expect Luo Xia to have died because of his careless words. Mo Huawen felt his heart twinge with pain and dark spots appeared before his eyes.
He looked at Mo Xuetong who was crying silently but he could not say a single word. He could hardly be bothered with how Yu Feng and his sister would appear to the public right now.
He hurried toward Mo Xuetong. His lips moved as he wanted to say something but he did not know what he could say…
He reached out to touch her head, but it started Mo Xuetong. Tears rolled down from her long lashes. Then, tears fell like broken strings of pearls. She turned around, covered her face and ran out of the room crying.
