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

“My miss, would you like to rest too. Your mother had said that spring drowsiness was common for this period of time, and you should rest more. Before long, you will be going to King Xuan’s manor, which might not be as comfortable as our place. I heard that there are many concubines present in King Xuan’s manor too, and you should naturally be energetic and well-rested.” Mo Lan came out from behind Mo Xuetong and offered her comforting advice.

However, she revealed the dissatisfaction she had toward Feng Yuran’s King Xuan’s Manor as if she were going to fight them instead of marrying her miss over.

Those words made Mo Xuetong gave a gentle smile. “Will that idiot be angry if he knew that’s how everyone else viewed him!”

“That’s right, my miss. You got to be well-rested and scare everyone in that manor. Anyways, the king will still be injured then and will not be able to get up. My miss got to be dominant and sell all those who don’t listen to you, making it easier for you to secure your position in the manor.” Once Mo Yu thought about the many concubines in King Xuan’s manor, she started to complain on behalf of Mo Xuetong.

It was not a good thing for a beautiful and kind woman like her miss to marry that promiscuous King Xuan!

However, n.o.body could resist under the imperial edict!

“Mo Yue, stop gossiping so much and annoying our miss. King Xuan is in charge of King Xuan’s Manor. How will others view our miss if she removes all the concubines right after her marriage?” Mo Lan shook her head and helped Mo Xuetong to her bed. She removed her coat and helped her down, covering her with the blanket.

“Why not? King Xuan’s Manor is a mess now and King Xuan is injured. Our miss is the only one in charge.” Mo Yu straightened her neck and argued, indignant.

Mo Xuetong chuckled. ” Mo Yu, we shall not care so much about King Xuan’s Manor. We will have to see what King Xuan’s att.i.tude is after our marriage. However, you should change your own att.i.tude. If you are still like this, others can take advantage of that.”

As she spoke, she thought of Mo He and her smile disappeared.

Mo Lan saw the change in her expression and knew that she remembered Mo He’s matter. She immediately threw a glance at Mo Yu and Mo Yu was obedient enough to not continue the topic, giving a serious promise instead. “Don’t worry, my miss. I will naturally follow the rules in King Xuan’s Manor and not make things difficult for my miss.”

King Xuan’s Manor was not Mo Manor, with many more rules and regulations. Mo Yu had reflected about it and decided to be careful and not to follow the footsteps of Mo He, who was oblivious to being used by others.

“Where is Mo He now?” The room became silent as Mo Xuetong asked, closing her eyes.

“Ever since Mo He left the manor, she disappeared. Some said that she returned to her hometown. Does my miss want to find out?” Mo Yu asked in confusion. Mo He’s matter reminded all the servants who were close to their miss. Of course, Mo He’s actions were despised upon, and hence no one went to find out more about her after she left.

Having suffered and enjoyed so much with her master, how could she have given up on so many years of relations.h.i.+p between the two just because of Auntie Fang’s lure, harming and hurting her miss with Auntie Fang. Mo Yu thought about it and decided that she had a wrong judgment of Mo He, whom she decided was a straightforward person!

“Mo Lan, help me investigate where Mo He is now. He Xia said that she saw Mo He that day.” Mo Xuetong closed her eyes and smiled lightly.

That day, on the carriage, both of them saw Mo He. She was well dressed and was nothing like when she was chased out of the manor. She was obviously successful as an old woman followed her, bowing and nodding to her at times. It was obvious that Mo He was well respected.

Normally, servants chased out by the manors would either suffer terribly or return and live with their parents. However, both of Mo He’s parents were in Cloud City, making her impossible to survive here on her own, much less successful. The only possibility was that someone took her in as a servant. However, who would place so much emphasis on a servant who was chased out?

An ordinary family would buy diligent girls from the human traffickers, and would naturally not use those chased out, unless the connection was long established.

It was truly disturbing that this relations.h.i.+p was not severed even though she chased her away!

“He Xia saw Mo He? My miss, could she be mistaken?” Mo Yu asked in complete disbelief, opening her mouth open and gasping. They all knew the situation of a servant being chased out, and hence they found the knowledge to be even more unbelievable.

Mo Lan stood at the side and did not say anything. Her pupils darkened as she realized that it would be ruining her miss’s reputation if the news that they were finding a servant they chased away started to spread before her miss’s marriage. It was an unwise move.

“I’m not mistaken!” Mo Xuetong responded lightly. “Please go and investigate. Many people in the manor knew Mo He, and we should send many more out. Say that I left an object with Mo He and I could not find it now. Hence, I send my servants out to look for her. Anyone who found her will be well rewarded.”

“Yes, I shall do it immediately.” Mo Lan heaved a sigh of relief and responded. Her miss was indeed so bright as this excuse would eliminate suspicious on if she had any other interests in finding Mo He. Mo He was the top servant of her miss and was in charge of objects in the manor. Hence, it would be possible that the object was in her hands if it could not be found. It would not be suspicious when people in the manor reported the information of Mo He over as well.

The two retreated. Mo Lan left to find the girl while Mo Yu sat outside, sewing the embroidery meticulously.

Inside the room, Mo Xuetong closed her eyes and fell asleep. She had been extremely tired these days and would feel down with no energy if she did not sleep every afternoon.
