Chapter 349 - Mo Ye Lost the Man He Was Following (1/2)

Mo Manor, Qingwei Garden.

Mo Ye was already back, reporting to Mo Xuetong with guilt. “Miss, I lost track of the man.”

How did Mo Ye lose the man? Mo Xuetong placed down the embroidery he was holding and touched her swollen head, a little lost.

“Miss, please rest for a while. King Xuan’s manor had sent someone over to inform us that we need not prepare anything due to the tight schedule. The King had prepared everything, including the embroidered dress, and he will come at a prosperous timing to send them over.” Mo Lan placed down the embroidery she was holding and took over Mo Xuetong’s. She placed it aside and stood behind her, helping her ma.s.sage her forehead as she comforted her.

When the word came, Mo Lan and the rest were delighted. That did not only mean the significance that King Xuan attributed to her miss, but also the fact that King Xuan survived and woke up from the verge of death. That made the entire Mo manor joyful as their Miss would not immediately become a widow when married over.

The few grieving servants on the ground were immediately filled with energy. They began to choose embroideries and prepare gifts… When they were free, they would be sewing on accessories. When she married over, those would be a sign of her status regardless of whether she would be gifting them out to others or her servants. Even though she didn’t need an embroidered dress anymore, these were necessary accessories.

Mo Xuetong did prepare a few clothes for Feng Yuran herself. When a woman married over, she would usually prepare clothing for the man. For a prestigious man like Feng Yuran, eight sets must be prepared for each season, showing the respect the woman had for the man. However, the time was too short.

It was too late for Mo Xuetong to make so many now, and thus she merely prepared one casually, but even that was still in the process. Like her servants, she would take that out to work on anytime she was free.

“I’m alright, just a little tired.” Mo Xuetong smiled. Even though her body had recovered, she was pretty tired, perhaps due to the fact that she stayed up late last night.

Seeing that even though her miss was tired, she seemed vibrant, Mo Lan heaved a sigh of relief. Her glance fell on the half-completed clothing of Mo Xuetong and shook her head helplessly. The servants would have helped if this was anything else, however, Mo Xuetong must personally prepare the clothes of her husband. Furthermore, her miss herself was dedicated to this task, and a servant like her was in no position to do it.

She remembered that some Ginseng soup was left in the kitchen, and made a mental note to heat it up for her miss later.

“Mo Ye, where did the person disappear?” Mo Xuetong sipped at the tea that Mo Yu provided for her and frowned. She did not expect that Mo Ye would lose the man. Even though she was merely a woman, Mo Ye was capable, and even Mo Feng admitted that Mo Ye was more powerful than him.

“I followed the man out of Xiuning Workshop and turned a corner into an alley. The alley was long but straight and hence I could only follow from a distance as I could not approach him without him discovering. Unexpectedly, the man disappeared just when I blinked. I rushed to his last known location and discovered a door present there. I pa.s.sed the door to another long and narrow alley before entering the main street, where no one was present.” Mo Ye recalled her experience.

She did not expect to lose the man and was extremely gloomy. She felt sad knowing that this was the first time that had happened since she became a real secret guard.

She looked disappointed.

“Who were the ones staying at the sides of the streets?” Mo Xuetong thought for a while before asking.

“I have investigated the location. They were all ordinary merchants, with the back doors of a few shops. The place was right at the backdoor of many houses located in the main street. Not only were there normal shops, numerous customers, brothels, theatres, tea houses, and bodyguard agencies were all present. It was a mess.” Mo Ye’s face turned red as she remembered what she saw at the back door of the shophouses.

It was not only just a mess.

However, she couldn’t tell her miss that.

Mo Xuetong caressed her brows as she knew that the man was probably gone. The man was definitely intelligent enough to choose such a place where people of all kinds of types mix together. It would be extremely easy for an ordinary man to sneak in and was an excellent place to plan the escape. Finding someone there would be like finding a needle in the ocean.

That was no normal man.

“Don’t worry. Since he appeared once, he would appear again. Please let Mo Feng keep an eye on the surroundings, and ask him to follow immediately after he discovers anything amiss.” Seeing Mo Ye’s disappointed face, Mo Xuetong chuckled. Even though it was unexpected that Mo Ye lost the man, she did not expect to find him so easily either, as she had never heard of this matter in her previous life.

Which meant that n.o.body suspected them. Since n.o.body suspected them, they must be deeply hidden.

Naturally, it would be difficult to catch them.

“Yes, I will inform Mo Feng to guard there later. When there’s any news, I will guard the place myself and see if he can escape again!” Mo Ye ground her teeth as she became even more upset thinking about this matter. She could be considered to be one of the best secret guards around, and hence she could not understand why she was swindled so easily, failing her miss’s faith in her.

Seeing Mo Ye gritting her teeth, Mo Xuetong smiled involuntarily and said to Mo Ye, “Alright, it’s nothing. Go and rest first, and don’t rush out so soon. This is to prevent speculation on the busy nature of us Qingwei Garden, where all of you come in and out all the time.”

“I shall go down and rest first, leaving later at night.” Mo Ye nodded obediently.

Ever since she followed her miss, the disdain in her disappeared. Even though her miss was weak, the intellect, decisiveness, and wit of her miss were far above others’. Even an ordinary smart man could not be compared to her miss.
