Chapter 322 - Encounter Cold You Yuecheng in the Peony Garden (2/2)

“Thank you.” Mo Xuetong gave a polite smile and took Mo Yu inside the door.

“Miss, this Peony Master is so sn.o.bbish that he asks common people to queue at the front door and checks their invitation one by one for fear that some unqualified people will get in here. However, the back door is quite empty, but common people are not allowed to enter from here.” Mo Yu complained in a low voice.

“You should feel content that you can enter the garden from here. Mo Yu, Peony Master may be hearing your complaints, and he may ask us to queue in the front door again.” Mo Xuetong raised the corner of her lips and bantered Mo Yu.

“It is impossible, right? Miss, how can a man like Peony Master overhear a little maid?” Frightened by Mo Xuetong’s words, Mo Yu covered her mouth immediately and looked around. When her eyes fell on Mo Xuetong’s teasing look, Mo Yu stomped and said pettishly, “Miss, you are making fun of me again. I don’t want to talk to you any longer, but go to enjoy the peony now.”

Then, Mo Yu ran forward.

Mo Xuemin turned around and found a number of peonies well-s.p.a.ced before her eyes. They flourished in different shapes and with bright colors in various presences. Even though Mo Xuemin had a preference for plum blossom’s exclusive nature, she had to admit that only the peony could be called the national flower, as its flowering time could cheer up the whole capital.

Some of the peonies were as red as fire, some as yellow as gold, some as pink as sunglow, some as white as jade, to name but a few… The breeze came and blew up refres.h.i.+ng fragrance of the flowers. Besides, b.u.t.terflies dances among them, forming a vivid picture of b.u.t.terflies’ flitting flowers. The beautiful scenery everywhere was a feast for the eyes.

Mo Yu had run to the far front. Mo Xuetong appreciated the peonies as she walked ahead. The sight of these flowers did help a person forget all the worries. In such a sea of flowers, every peony demonstrated its unique beauty in various ways. What a charming scene!

But she just took several steps when a hand reached out from a blooming peony.

The strong hand was just in front of her and blocked her eyes. The blue robe sleeve with golden lines was set in her way like a ban.

Mo Xuetong stopped and raised her eyes, only to see the hand retract slowly in an aloof manner.

Under the flower tree, the man raised his head slightly. The blue robe on him looked inconspicuously n.o.ble and reflected the coldness on his face.

It was undeniable that You Yuecheng in this way looked charming. No wonder Ding General Manor’s Ling Mingyan was attracted and hung up on him, and was obsessed with marrying him. His temperament and aura were remarkable.

But no matter how remarkable he was, Mo Xuetong did not want to see him here. She remembered clearly that the man did not have a good feeling for her, and even tried to frame her in collusion with Mo Xuemin. Although their plot had failed, Mo Xuetong thought it was not pleasant to meet such a person at such a refres.h.i.+ng moment.

“Your Excellency, do you also come to enjoy the peony in a good mood?” Mo Xuetong saluted and said with a smile.

Her voice was extremely sweet, and now mixed with a girl’s tenderness, it sounded more pleasant to ears.

You Yuecheng looked at the girl in front and darkened his eyes. The face was so pure with a girl’s unique childishness but a sense of attractive charm. Her watery eyes glowed with enchanting brightness, showing a girl’s most lovely elegance.

But no one had ever imagined that under the beautiful face hid completely opposite coldness, indifference, and cunning…

As for such a girl, how many faces did she have on the surface and behind the scenes? You Yuecheng thought he was curious to dig them out completely.

“Was it you again?” You Yuecheng said inhospitably. He meant the matter about Mo Xuemin. The marriage in the Duke Zhenguo’s manor had become a widely-spread farce.

“Your Excellency, what are you asking? I… seem to have no intersection with you?” Mo Xuetong curled up the corner of her mouth slightly and asked with a smile, pretending to be unaware of it.

She said softly with a smile on her face. Her bright watery eyes reflected the peony. She was more delicate and beautiful than the flowers. However, You Yuecheng could still feel the slight coldness in her watery eyes, which showed her feelings of repugnance.

Although she was talking to him, she really did not want to do so in her heart.

Somehow, he just could feel it, so his eyes darkened a bit.

“Frame your sister into such a situation. Your Highness, don’t you feel guilty?” You Yuecheng said frigidly and fell his eyes on her gorgeous face. The girl in front was so delicate and graceful.

“Your Excellency, if you want to defend my sister against what happened yesterday, please go to Duke Zhenguo’s manor. If my sister sees you seeking justice for her, she will be moved to tears of grat.i.tude.” Mo Xuetong gave a bland smile, which made her tender face more attractive just like flowers in full bloom. Her long eyelashes flickered with some irony.

If Mo Xuemin had known that You Yuecheng had sought justice for her again and again, she would not have stayed in the Duke Zhenguo’s manor any longer, or would have even run to find You Yuecheng. But Mo Xuetong was pretty sure that You Yuecheng did not have the courage to do so, otherwise, he would not have bothered to wait till now. The man, who pretended to care about Mo Xuemin and often set himself against Mo Xuetong, was really annoying.

Her expression displeased You Yuecheng. His inky eyes stared at Mo Xuetong as deeply as if two Mo Xuetongs would come out of his eyes.

“Has your father ever mentioned our marriage?” He darkened his eyes and leveled down his lips into a tight line, which made him look more commanding. But in Mo Xuetong’s eyes, nothing could be more shocking than his words!

Their marriage? When? Why did she totally know nothing of it?

She looked up at You Yuecheng, and just met with his eyes, deep and serious.

Marriage? She and he? How can it be?

She opened her pink and tender lips slightly with a look of surprise in her eyes, but soon, it turned into indifference, as if what she had heard were the marriage about others.
