Chapter 328 - Mo Xuemins New Conspiracy (1/2)

Looking at Mo Xuemin and Mo Xueqiong posturing, Mo Xuetong’s eyes flashed a cold feeling of hatred. She thought, “The two vicious sisters won’t stop bullying me till my death.” Mo Xuetong turned to Mo Huawen and said with a smile, “Father, since the eldest sister and the fourth youngest sisters insist on accompanying me to wors.h.i.+p and comfort my mother in the other world, Tong’er, as a daughter, should go with them. Father, let us go together.”

Mo Xuetong thought, “I haven’t avenged my mother’s death. Although Auntie Fang was sent to that place, she hasn’t died yet. And I won’t allow her to die so easily. The hate is absolutely irreconcilable.”

“Good, good. Father, let us go with the eldest sister.” Mo Xueqiong closed the door and answered before Mo Huawen spoke. She looked innocent seemingly, but a glint of cruelty and complacence flashed in her eyes, and she took a sideways look at Mo Xuetong.

As it had come down to the point, Mo Huawen’s eyes scanned his three daughters and fell on Mo Xuetong’s face. Mo Xuetong nodded at him slightly.

“Well, you should come back as soon as possible.”

“Yes, Father.” The three sisters saluted together to their father respectfully. For an outsider, the scene was flowing with deep sisters’ love.

“Your Excellency, Min’er will go with the two younger sisters to the Repayment Temple to comfort the deceased. Your Excellency, please go back first. When the things are settled, Min’er will go back to the manor immediately.” Mo Xuemin turned around and smiled at Sima Lingyun who was watching coldly for a long time. Her sweet smile looked graceful and obedient, and she did not claim herself as “I”, as if to draw Sima Lingyun’s care, so she insisted on calling herself “Min’er”.

After their marriage, the relation between Mo Xuemin and Sima Lingyun sank below the freezing point. Until now, the two did not sleep together. Except that they met once when visiting the relatives the day after their marriage, they did not say a word. Usually, Mo Xuetong had to stand beside and serve the d.u.c.h.ess at the table, and she was ordered around, while Sima Lingyun stood with coldness and disgust, totally ignoring her.

Now in Sima Lingyun’s eyes, Mo Xuemin was nothing but a disgusting and wicked woman who did not follow the woman’s way. He was completely not in the favorite mood as he once had before. If it were in the Duke Zhenguo’s manor, he would fling out of the room and disgrace her. But now in the Mo Manor, Mo Huawen was still staring at seriously him beside.

The sternness in Mo Huawen’s words forced Sima Lingyun to look squarely at Mo Xuemin for the first time.

Considering that this was the marriage granted by the Empress, plus Mo Huawen’s threat, Sima Lingyun did not dare to reject Mo Xuemin’s request on the spot. He had nothing left. If he was disgusted by the Empress, how could he make any achievement in his life? But it was hard for him to pretend to love Mo Xuemin.

So he just said simply and coldly, “Since you have already made the plan and Father has agreed, just go there.” After finis.h.i.+ng the words, he did not talk to Mo Xuemin any longer; instead, he turned to Mo Huawen to bid his farewell. The purpose of this return to Mo Xuemin’s home was to show his att.i.tude. Now, he did it, which could answer the Empress’ expectation for the granted marriage. If Mo Xuemin got into any trouble later, it was permitted by Mo Huawen and had nothing to do with Sima Lingyun.

A sneer flashed over Mo Xuemin’s lips. She did not say anything more, but just took two steps back to conceal the sneer. She thought, “As long as the thing is done well today, I will not go back to Duke Zhenguo’s manor. Now, Duke Zhenguo’s manor has no hope but instead some b.i.t.c.hy seductresses. Do they really think I am willing to marry into their family?”

She bent her fingers a bit, and the slight pain reminded her of some big blisters on her fingers, which was caused by the pouring hot soup.

Thinking that the d.u.c.h.ess poured down the soup to her ruthlessly, Mo Xuemin had the urge to smash that tart and rigid face. If not Mo Xuemin had not acted quickly to tilt her head, her face would have been disfigured. However, Sima Lingyun wore a faint smile, as if he could not see his legal wife was forced to kneel in front of Yun Yiqiu, and was poured the soup.

What’s worse, he even softly comforted Yun Yiqiu, the s.l.u.t. How could the conceited Mo Xuemin bear it?

Since Duke Zhenguo’s manor treated Mo Xuemin so meanly, she could not allow those cheap women to live a comfortable life, and she thought her vicious counterattack was reasonable. Coldness flashed in her eyes. Sima Lingyun did come back at the right time.

Mo Huawen did not ask him to stay, but waved his hands coldly instead.

After Sima Lingyun left, Mo Xuemin and her sisters also said goodbye to Mo Huawen, and left the Mo Manor together.

Sima Lingyun had left and Mo Xuemin’s carriage stopped outside. Except for a coachman, Duke Zhenguo’s manor did not leave any manpower for Mo Xuemin, which obviously showed that Duke Zhenguo’s manor’s grudge for Mo Xuemin had worsened to an unreserved level.

Mo Xuemin held Qiu Qiao’s hand to get on the carriage, followed by Mo Xueqiong and Mo Xuetong. There was not much s.p.a.ce in the carriage, and even a bit crowded for three people to sit in it. Considering the three maids outside, Mo Xuemin asked the Mo Manor’s servant to prepare another carriage to take them.

The curtain was pulled and the horse rattled. The wooden wheels ran in a low voice. Mo Xuetong looked at the window, and her sharp eyes found a thin slit on the gauze curtain. Unbelievably, it was broken.

This carriage was rather small, different from the last one which Sima Lingyun used to take them out…

“Eldest sister, your carriage is not so good. It can only hold our three sisters, even the maids can’t get in.” Mo Xueqiong mocked. She pointed to a scratch on the carriage beside and said with a fuss, “What! Eldest sister, it is broken. As the newly married wife, how can you use this broken and small carriage which should be used by the domestic servants? Does the bother-in-law love anyone else and treat you badly?”

Her words seemed to defend Mo Xuemin against the injustice, but the other two people in the carriage could clearly feel her pleasure in the misfortune. Now, things about Mo Xuemin were being spread in the whole capital. How could Mo Xueqiong remain unknown of them?

Mo Xuemin felt her breath panting by the jeer and almost burst into rage. She struggled to suppress the rage and pretended to sigh indifferently, “To be honest, fourth youngest sister, Duke Zhenguo’s manor is just rich on the surface. No one has ever imagined that it is just a hollow sh.e.l.l. Perhaps several years later, we cannot even take a carriage like it. Fortunately, you did not go there with me. Otherwise, I’m afraid we cannot even get a carriage like it.”
