Chapter 352 - Entrance to the Drama by Second Son of You Family (1/2)

That was a small booklet, not enormous. However, strangely, it looked more like the book of accounts. It opened up once it fell onto the ground, with numbers and names of people shown.

“What is this?” Before anyone could react, Mo Xueyan rushed forth and flipped through the booklet, reading it, “a.s.sistant minister manor, Fu General Manor… money… money?”

She seemed to be aware of something and turned away in fright, running out with the booklet in her hand towards Old Madam, who was resting in the garden. She was unable to express herself clearly, stuttering as she explained, “Grandma, grandma, it’s a booklet about the silver that uncle gifted to others… what to do.”

She was loud enough and everyone around them heard it. Instantly, the whole garden turned silent.

Old Madam was chatting casually with Xu Yan. Hearing that, she immediately stood up, “Girl Yan, don’t speak nonsense!”

Even though she was chiding the girl, she was louder, attracting everyone’s attention.

Mo Xuetong’s lips curved up into a slight mocking and eerie smile. Since Old Madam and Mo Xueyan were so devious, she would be ruthless too.

“It’s true, grandma, it is real. It is really the account book of the silver uncle gifted others. How, how, the whole family would be killed…” Mo Xueyan was anxious and nervous, frightened and overwhelmed. She continued to put on a show.

They meant that her father gifted silver to other officials in an attempt to bribe them. However, Mo Huawen had always been a small fifth-grade officer and had just obtained this position, making it impossible for him to be so rich, especially since Mo Xueyan saw many precious and expensive objects written on the list.

“Forgive me, forgive me, Old Madam! I didn’t know that an accounting book was hidden behind and accidentally knocked it down just now. Please do not punish me, Old Madam!” Two nannies ran out, crying and s.h.i.+vering in front of Old Madam.

That meant they completely didn’t know that it was inside. Furthermore, this was not something that two women like Old Madam and Mo Xueyan could plan all by themselves. Mo Xuetong’s smile turned even more chilling as she stood by the side, watching their drama.

“Why will there be such a booklet inside?” Old Madam was shocked as she turned around to look at Xu Yan.

“Bribery? Gifting money to others?” Even though Xu Yan was knowledgeable after staying in Fu General’s inner residence, she had never encountered such an incident before. Great Qin was especially strict when it came to matters of bribery. If a crime of such matter was committed, a harsh punishment was issued; sometimes even executing the entire family would happen.

Everyone in the garden panicked.

It turned out that the objective of Old Madam was to frame Father of bribery. As long as Father was involved in this matter, no one in the family could escape from punishment. Furthermore, this matter coincided with the disappearance of the silver meant for disaster aid at lianghu, and it seemed like the person wanted these two matters to be linked up together. Mo Xuetong didn’t believe that this was the idea of the ignorant Old Madam and the greedy Mo Xueyan.

There was a mastermind behind them!

They wanted the lives of everyone in Mo Manor! What a waste since Father was so nice to them!

Blood rushed up onto her heart as she felt a chill run down her body. She tightened her fist and felt her blood turn cold!

No wonder they came rus.h.i.+ng in! They came in to frame Father through the commotion! If this booklet was reported to the Emperor, he would execute their entire family without hesitation, and that’s devious!

“Old Madam, we are carrying all these things? Are they all dowries of Second Miss?” A gentle and tender voice came from the door, as You Yuelian brought people from Mingguo Manor into the garden.

There were indeed people behind this! Indeed, in this case, all the links were tightly connected, and n.o.body from Mo Manor could escape the guillotine.

That was the person who would expose the entire matter!

Be it the Old Madam or Mo Xueyan, they had no right to report such political matters. However, You Yuelian was different; he was someone from Mingguo Manor.

Now, Mo Xuetong finally knew the person plotting against Mo Manor!

“Second young master, second young master, there is an accounting book of the silver that my uncle gifted to others.” Mo Xueyan rushed over to claim the credit. It was obvious that the two had long been in love. Perhaps it was because of the benefits that this report could bring, Mo Xueyan forgot to pretend and smiled like a flower.

“Accounting book? What accounting book?” You Yuelian’s face turned solemn as if he didn’t know anything and was frightened by the knowledge.

“It seemed that it was an accounting book about the silver uncle gifted to others. They are such precious gifts! Uncle is so rich!” Mo Xueyan laughed exaggeratedly and swayed the book around towards Mo Xuetong purposefully.

“What happened?” You Yuelian’s face turned cold and he turned around to chide Xue Yan.

Xue Yan’s face turned white but she was speechless. She knew that the whole family would be executed if such a crime was proved. As a woman, she could not bear the consequences.

Mo Xuetong walked over slowly and held her hand, noticing the deep layer of cold sweat beneath it. She squeezed her hand and comforted her worrisome heart, taking a deep breath in the process.

“Excuse me, but why is Second Young Master You doing in my manor?” Mo Xuetong asked peacefully.

You Yuelian’s eyes fell on Mo Xuetong and realized that this girl in the light blue dress was as composed as the water, her looks inexplicably stunning, with a tinge of gentleness hidden within her purity, a tinge of seductiveness hidden in her coolness. It was a matter indescribable by word, a type of charm caused by the perfect combination of elements, and extreme beauty!

That was Princess Anping!
