Chapter 294 - The Framing of the Qin Manor (1/2)

Mo Yufeng looked at Qin Yufeng hopefully. He only hoped that the intelligent and resourceful Qin Yufeng could help him and save him this once.

“Yufeng, I really do not have the money.” Qin Yufeng considered for a moment before he looked up and said gravely to Mo Yufeng.

“Then what will I do? What should I do? They even said that if I do not have money, they will take my life. They won’t send me to the Yamen.” Mo Yufeng howled and leaned into the chair despondently. He looked in front of him listlessly. It was as if all the bones in his body had been removed.

“It’s not that there isn’t a way, but…” Qin Yufeng said after a short silence.

“What? What is it? Yu Feng, I will do whatever you say.” Mo Yufeng sat up suddenly when he heard what Qin Yufeng said. He tugged at Qin Yufeng’s sleeves urgently.

“This… how about, forget it!” Qin Yufeng said, looking as if he was in a difficult position. He frowned, hemmed and hawed as if he did not know where to start.

It was obvious that there was hope. Mo Yufeng was very happy and did not care about anything else.

“Yufeng, quick, talk. Tell me what it is. I am willing to do anything.” There was a ray of hope, Mo Yufeng would not allow it to disappear just as it appeared. He felt as if he was willing to do anything.

“It is difficult. If I say it, it would sound like… I am being evasive. Yufeng, you know, oh, forget it!” Qin Yufeng shook his head as if he was not willing to continue. He patted Mo Yufeng’s hand and gestured for him to calm down.

“No, you have to tell me. If you don’t then you’re not treating me as a brother. Or many years of brotherhood would be gone just like that. I will cut off all ties with you today.” Mo Yufeng was truly anxious and he did not even choose his words carefully. He pulled on Qin Yufeng’s hand saying that he wanted to cut off all ties with him but refused to let his hand go.

Qin Yufeng saw that it was about time that he could start talking. He put on a helpless expression and said, “Yufeng, I told you that I have to marry someone that I am satisfied with but my mother found me a daughter of a wealthy merchant. She said that the family is rich and is a famous wealthy merchant in Jiangnan. Yes, no doubt they are rich. If you marry her, you would not need to worry about money and I can escape this marriage.”

“But I thought if I told you about this at this time, it’s really…” Qin Yufeng said with slight frustration.

Mo Yufeng’s eyes, however, lit up. He asked hurriedly, “That family is very wealthy?”

“That family said so. Money is not an issue as long as we treat their daughter well. Everything else can be discussed. Furthermore, the family seems to be related to Ding General Manor. That is why my mother wants me to marry her even though there is some difference in our status. We cannot resist their wealth. Furthermore, they have the support of the Ding General Manor while I have nothing. It would be easier to become an official with the help of their wealth and connections.” Qin Yufeng turned the fan in his hands and said lightly.

There’s such a good candidate? Mo Yufeng’s heart soared. Someone who could match up to Qin Yufeng, the legal son of the Qin family was naturally even more of a good match to him, the concubine’s son of the Mo Manor. Power and wealth were the things that he needed most right now. Mo Yufeng understood that after his fall from grace. He had gone from being the only son of the Mo family to the concubine’s son of the Mo family who no one cared about.

If anyone asked him who he hated the most, it would naturally be Mo Xuetong!

If the little s.l.u.t had not appeared in the manor, Auntie Fang would not have lost her power. His younger sister would still be the renowned talent of the capital. When Auntie Fang became his father’s legal wife, he would become the legal son of the Mo Manor. Everything in the Mo Manor would become his.

However, who would have expected that everything would change after Mo Xuetong returned to the manor. This was all because of that little s.l.u.t.

However, he could not do anything to her!

He did not have a support that was as powerful as hers. She was now also the Princess Anping of the royal family. He had failed at studying and while he wanted to become an official, Mo Huawen had ignored him. He could only hang around in brothels and indulge in women. His misfortune this time was also because of Mo Xuetong.

Mo Yufeng had attributed all his misery to Mo Xuetong and hated her so much he wanted to tear her apart.

He had a sudden thought, that if he could marry this wealthy and powerful young woman, he would have an easy path from then on. His father had to look at him differently. When he had the chance, he would get rid of the little s.l.u.t that was Mo Xuetong.

He was very pleased when he thought of that and would not let go of this opportunity. He held on to Qin Yufeng’s hand tightly and said gratefully, “Yufeng, you are indeed a good brother of mine to let me have this marriage. If you need any help from me in the future, I will not forget the great kindness and favor you have done for me.”

Then, he felt extremely excited. He felt that he owed his brother a lot. He knelt down and kowtowed to Qin Yufeng despite how inappropriate it was.

“Yufeng, don’t do that. Quick, get up. If you think of me as your brother, then get up quickly. I still have something to say.” Qin Yufeng said hurriedly. He did not want him to kowtow to him. He was just a weak scholar and could not pull Mo Yufeng up, who was expressing his grat.i.tude sincerely.

“Tell me, you are willing to give such a marriage to me. Tell me quickly. I will do anything you say.” Mo Yufeng said, touched, as he stood up.

He was willing to listen to whatever Qin Yufeng said right now. He only felt that Qin Yufeng was an extremely good friend.

“Yufeng, listen to me. I still feel like I have done you wrong. Forget it…” Qin Yufeng said awkwardly and helplessly. He stomped his feet heavily and said under Mo Yufeng’s hopeful gaze. “My mother locked us up together alone so that I will acknowledge this wedding. Even though nothing happened, what would others think? I think this is not too good… Oh, I’d better get my mother to send betrothal gifts to them tomorrow. Let’s think up of another way to get you your money.”

The money, beauty, and power which were almost in Mo Yufeng’s hands flew away just like that. Mo Yufeng still had to find a way out himself. When he thought of how fierce and ruthless those people looked, he shuddered. He did not care about all of that. It was just a little tarnish to his reputation. It was nothing much. He truly believed in his brother, Qin Yufeng. In the past, when they went out, he had never behaved inappropriately with a woman.
