Chapter 340 - Reminding the Old Madam (2/2)

The two chatted for a while. Mo Xuetong told Xu Yan that she would visit her grandmother at Fu General Manor later. Fu General Manor already found out about what happened yesterday. Mo Xuetong sent men to tell them that she was alright. However, the Old Madam did not believe her. She sent servants early in the morning to ask when Mo Xuetong would visit.

“Tong’er, get the horse carriage to drive slower when you go later. You have to be slow even in the bustling city. Your hands were injured and the Old Madam would be even more distressed. She would definitely ask you to stay for lunch if you go now. If there’s something that you can’t eat, you have to tell the Old Madam.” Xu Yan instructed her.

Xu Yan’s gentle behavior and her similarities to Mo Xuetong’s mother made Mo Xuetong think of her mother for some reason. She could not help but find her eyes turning warm. She turned her head to the side and dabbed the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief before she nodded with a soft smile.

The two of them chatted for a little while more before Xu Yan left.

Mo Xuetong left the manor and boarded the horse carriage with her three servants, Mo Ye, Mo Lan, and Mo Yu.

After what happened yesterday, Mo Ye refused to leave Mo Xuetong’s side. Mo Lan and Mo Yu had the same idea and as such, the three maidservants could only be a.s.sured when they were with Mo Xuetong.

Mo Xuetong could not persuade them not to and could only bring all three of them along with her.

At the entrance of Fu General Manor, Luo Wenyou paced in front of the entrance. He stopped occasionally to look at the sun. He had already been waiting at the entrance for a good hour. When he heard the sound of a horse carriage stopping, he hurried out of the door.

Mo Xuetong was just getting out of the horse carriage. Her hands were wrapped tightly. Even though there was a warm and gentle smile on her face, her face was as pale as snow. She looked haggard and it was obvious that she was feeling unwell.

“Cousin Tong, how are you?” Luo Wenyou strode forward to welcome her. He looked down at Mo Xuetong’s hands and questioned her anxiously.

“Cousin, I am fine, I just injured my hands and it is slightly inconvenient, that’s all. I have worried you and grandmother.” Mo Xuetong smiled warmly. She held up her hands, which were tightly wrapped, and let Luo Wenyou look at them. She looked mischievous and adorable and did not seem unwell.

“I will go with you the next time you go to the Repayment Temple. Don’t go with them. Why are they all fine while you almost lost your life when you went with them?” Luo Wenyou ordered Mo Xuetong as they entered the manor. He was not convinced by Mo Xuetong.

The matter was weird no matter how they looked at it. The three girls had gone out together. The other two had not fallen off the carriage despite the crash while Cousin Tong had fallen off the cliff. If she had not caught on to a tree branch, she would have died. Luo Wenyou felt that the other two sisters of the Mo Manor were really vicious when he thought of how Mo Xuetong had almost died.

He had always been a gentleman and rarely spoke about others behind their backs. He was furious now and Mo Xuetong felt touched when she saw how angry he was. An affectionate and gentle expression appeared on her face. She said softly, “I will ask you to take me there in the future. Cousin, if you are not free, tell me early so that I won’t wait for you in vain.”

“I will definitely accompany you there. I’ll definitely have time!” Luo Wenyou said sternly. Then, he realized he sounded overly confident and could not help but cough softly.

They entered the house and the Old Madam looked at Mo Xuetong anxiously. She insisted that Mo Xuetong unravel her bandages to show her injuries. Luo Wenyou had to help Mo Xuetong convince the Old Madam not to and Mo Xuetong did not have to unravel her bandages.

“Grandmother, my injury is not that serious. I will be fine in a few days. I will definitely let you see if I have any scars.” Mo Xuetong said, looking adorable. Even though she did not look very energetic, she looked lively. The Old Madam felt rest a.s.sured. When she thought of how her granddaughter almost died, her anger was all directed at Mo Xuemin and Mo Xueqiong.

Her anger and hatred rose again when she thought of how Mo Xuemin’s birth mother, Auntie Fang, killed Luo Xia. She slapped the table and said, “Is that Auntie Fang still alive? She killed Xia’er but she is still well and alive. Does the Yu family think that there is no one left in our family? I will bring the men from our manor to the Yu family and see what they are going to repay us with for Xia’er’s death.”

“Grandmother, do not worry. Look, didn’t eldest sister get what she deserved!” Mo Xuetong bit her lips and said. She did not want to hide the hatred she felt for Auntie Fang and her daughter in front of the Old Madam. There was a flash of hatred in her eyes, and she continued, “Tong’er will definitely get revenge for Mother after some time has pa.s.sed.”

She would definitely get revenge for her mother. She would make it so that Auntie Fang and her daughter would live a life worse than death! The vengeance of her past life and the hatred she felt in this life could not be paid so simply with their lives, with the blood of so many people, and the hatred of so many of them. Did the Yu Manor intend to get rid of Auntie Fang quietly?! She would not let them get what they wanted!

“Alright, I will listen to Tong’er. We will see how karma will get to them! Also, what’s the matter with your younger sister? Why did she go to King Yan’s Manor? Did King Yan ever say he wanted to take her as his concubine?” The Old Madam changed the topic to Mo Xueqiong. The bestowing of marriage was too sudden. Furthermore, with what happened to Mo Xuetong, the Old Madam could not help but be suspicious.

“Perhaps King Yan wants to marry a few second consorts who have power.” Mo Xuetong said, pretending to be confused. “Look, w.a.n.g Xiuxiu is the Grand Secretariat’s daughter. Her status is not any less than the First Miss of You Manor. She entered King Yan’s manor as well. The royal princes are all of a marriageable age. Of course, he has to marry a few wives who have power.”

Her long lashes lowered slightly. She pretended not to see the Old Madam’s expression which suddenly turned sharp. Her grandmother had acute senses!

She would naturally think of a way to deal with the matter just like what Feng Yuran said. She did not have to think too much. Her grandmother would definitely have a way. Mo Xuetong relaxed slightly when she thought how Fu General Manor would be able to distance themselves from the Empress’ plot. Feng Yuzhen was not a good person and he would not be loyal to Mo Xuetong’s Second Cousin. He had even promised w.a.n.g Xiuxiu that she would become the empress in the future.

That meant that even if her Second Cousin were to become Feng Yuzhen’s legal wife right now, he might allow her to get hurt in the future. Mo Xuetong thought of her previous life. Sima Lingyun and Mo Xuemin had killed her together. Sadness welled up within her. She would not allow her cousin to repeat the tragedy she experienced in her previous life. She had to hold destiny in her hands this time.
