Chapter 350 - Old Madam Arrived, Causing a Commotion (2/2)

“Well, the eldest lady is quite pitiful still. She lived under the roof of Fu General Manor for so many years, under the jurisdiction of others. Finally, she can be the master of her own household, and so she chooses to hold everything tightly in her hands.”

“Even if that is the case, this is still wrong! After marriage, one naturally listens to one’s mother-in-law. Not only does she not wish to help, but she also seems to be eyeing her mother-in-law’s stuff.”

Her nannies’ words became nastier and nastier. They glanced at Xu Yan, refusing to give her the proper respect she deserved as a proper wife. That made Xu Yan s.h.i.+ver in anger. Previously, in Fu General Manor, even though she was merely a guest, the old madam there loved her, and the cousins treated her as their real sisters. She had never been so angry before and was hence at a loss for words.

“Little Auntie, see! This is such a simple matter, just let us move the stuff away! Don’t make my uncle seem unfilial and unkind. If he does get such a reputation, it’ll be bad for his career. If he becomes angry then, you will be the one suffering. It will be a true pity if that happens just a few days after your marriage.” Mo Xueyan continued arrogantly, more and more disdainful of Xu Yan as she mocked Xu Yan.

She knew that the new step-aunt could do nothing to her.

“It seems like my second sister knows that one uses filial piety to govern the world, and we must be respectful to elders. However, it doesn’t seem that second sister behaves like this.” Outside the door, a sweet crisp voice chided.

The door opened and Mo Xuetong walked over. Her aura was not weak either as eight strong women were behind her as well, comparable to those behind Old Madam. Old Madam’s eyes darkened as she became deep in thought.

Wearing a pain lotus long dress, the flowers danced beneath her as she walked, with simplicity accompanying her pure beauty. It accentuated her pink face, making her look holy and scared, and yet she had a breathtaking aura despite her fragile appearance.

“Greetings to grandmother.” Mo Xuetong came over and greeted Old Madam calmly.

Mo Xuetong’s voice had made Old Madam sober and come to her senses. She replied calmly. “Tong’er is back. It’s unreasonable to chide your sister once you are back. Please apologize to her, don’t be rude to your sister.”

What a biased old lady. Before she could even speak, Mo Xuetong was charged with a crime.

If she apologized to Mo Xueyan, it would seem that she was indeed rude; If she didn’t, she would seem to be rude to her grandmother. The reputation of a woman was like water. It easily got corrupted and could not withstand such rumors. However, Mo Xuetong was now of a different status. As the princess of the imperial family, she could afford to be a little rude.

Furthermore, she was about to have a marriage bestowed by the Emperor. It was impossible that Feng Yuran would cancel the marriage because of some rumor.

She was sneering in her heart but her face gave a gentle and surprising look. Straightening up her body, she confronted Mo Xueyan. “Is it right for second miss to be here to bully her aunt?” Her face was extremely naive as if he really did not understand what was going on, so direct that Mo Xueyan was at a loss for words. Her face turned pale and purple as she was speechless.

She did come with that intention, but she could not make it so obvious.

Seeing that Mo Xueyan was being suppressed by Mo Xuetong, Old Madam had to interfere herself. She chided angrily. “Even if your second sister is a little at fault, you cannot make such a big commotion as a younger sister! As sisters, you should settle this internally, and not be so rude!”

“Settle this internally with Mo Xueyan?” Mo Xueyan could shout at Xu Yan but she could not straightforwardly talk with Mo Xueyan. Old Madam wanted to suppress her. Even though she did not know what Old Madam wanted, the old lady did not come with a kind intention. Luckily, she was well-prepared.

“Third Sister, how dare you bully be like this when grandmother is still here. You don’t even greet me, chiding me immediately. Are you really disregarding our sisterhood once you become a princess?” Mo Xueyan recognized the situation and immediately complained in front of Old Madam as if she were greatly wronged, pointing at Mo Xuetong.

Her eyes were full of unwillingness, and jealousy for Mo Xuetong’s high status. Why should she be bullied by Mo Xuetong like that!

She originally thought that it was incredibly lucky to marry the second son of Mingguo Manor as that handsome man did grab Mo Xueyan’s heart at first. Mo Xueyan smiled even in dreams when she thought that she would marry the love of her life and enjoy the ever-ending wealth and prosperity. Furthermore, the two times when they met in private, he was tender and warm to her as well.

However, before her marriage, the matter between Mo Xuemin and You Yuelian’s affair broke out as the two were thrown together in the main gate of Duke Zhenguo’s Manor. Rumors were everywhere. Even though it was unconfirmed, most people believed in it, and the two people’s reputations were ruined. In awaiting her marriage, the att.i.tudes of the servants and nannies in her household turned from one of envy for her good marriage to disdain, and they had all been gossiping about her.

That made Mo Xueyan mad!

She was also involved in hurting Mo Xuetong, which was plotted by Mo Xuemin and Mo Xueqiong, as she gave the icy silk handkerchief over to Mo Xueqiong. Even though she did not know the exact details of their plan, she knew that it involved Mo Xuetong and they wanted to destroy Mo Xuetong, which was a great idea to her. Thus, she asked You Yuelian to pa.s.s the handkerchief.

Unexpectedly, Mo Xuetong was unscathed, but Mo Xuemin and You Yuelian were rumored to be having an affair, with the servants and nannies mocking her marriage to a promiscuous husband. She believed that it was Mo Xuetong’s revenge after their failed plan. Hence, all her anger was poured on Mo Xuetong. Staring at her beautiful face now, she wanted to bite her to death and naturally would not speak anything good to her.

She did not want to keep Mo Xuetong alive. She must get rid of her, she must!
