Chapter 381 - The Marital Fraud at the Duke Zhenguo’s Manor (2/2)

“My Lady, just watch the show when you go there later. First Miss has nothing to do with us. Anyway, the fuss is their business.” Mo Yu walked out, holding on to Mo Xuetong’s hand as she muttered softly, “First Miss making a fuss like that was something they asked for anyway.”

She thought of how Mo Xuemin had tried to hurt them again and again after her mistress entered the manor. Mo Xuetong’s maidservants truly did not like Mo Xuemin. In the past, Mo Xuemin was the proud and haughty First Miss who shone in public and was gracious. However, away from the public, she was vicious and evil. Mo Xuetong had almost been hurt by her time and time again. Especially the last time, Mo Xuetong’s hands had been covered in blood from the stabbing by her and Mo Xuetong had almost died.

The maids were furious and they all went today in a good mood to watch what was going to happen!

The three maids were all present. If not for He Xia not being able to appear in the Mo Manor, she would have gone no matter what would happen.

They were going to watch the beautiful snake that was Mo Xuemin get into trouble. It would be extremely satisfying!

“Alright, I know. I will just watch the show later on, alright!” Mo Yu had puffed up in anger and it made Mo Xuetong smile as she answered the servant.

“That’s right. My Lady, don’t stay quiet either. You must be hard-handed when appropriate.” Mo Yu said hurriedly.

“I won’t be lenient to her.” Mo Xuetong guaranteed.

She would not be lenient. A poisonous viper like Mo Xuemin would just retaliate with a bite if she were lenient. In her past life, Mo Xuetong had been so friendly to Mo Xuemin. She had treated her like her sister and thought of her no matter what she did. She even gave Mo Xuemin some of her dowries and did not say anything about that.

But what had happened in the end?

In exchange, she had been betrayed and abandoned, beaten b.l.o.o.d.y. When she had been rebirthed, she told herself that she would definitely get revenge.

An eye for an eye. She was willing to do that even if she had to go to h.e.l.l for it!

“My Lady, I heard that the matter today involves what happened to you the last time. The manor has sent someone to invite you over.” Mo Lan said with a frown.

“Was it the time Sima Lingyun held me hostage?” Mo Xuetong thought for a moment before asking.

“That’s right. I took note and interrogated the servant who came to send the message. It was said that Marquess Zhenguo said that he did not do anything that day. He only saved the lady. He really does not know about anything else. He had been framed and ended up in a pile with Mo Xuemin for no rhyme or reason. That was how those rumors started.” Mo Lan answered after some thought.

She was not a reckless person and had gotten all the information before telling them to Mo Xuetong in detail. This would prepare Mo Xuetong so that Mo Xuetong could think of what to say at the Mo Manor. Mo Lan believed that her mistress would be able to handle the matter even better if she understood what happened.

“Were there witnesses?” Mo Xuetong asked lightly with a slight frown.

“I’m not very sure about that. I wanted to get even more information but the servant was very tight-lipped. She shut her mouth tightly after she realized that she might have let something slip. She just joked with me and refused to say anything else.” Mo Lan said with a smile as she recalled what happened.

“Did you know that servant beforehand?” Mo Xuetong asked.

Mo Lan paused for a moment and then understood. She said, “I do not know that servant. I heard that she only entered the manor a few months ago, about the same time as when the lady got married and entered the manor. I heard that she was an old servant from Madam’s maternal family. She came specially to depend on the Madam. Madam saw that she was a capable person, so she kept the servant in the inner courtyard to be a minor steward.”

The maid was from Xu Yan’s maternal family? From Mo Xuetong’s memory, there were not many people left in Xu Yan’s maternal family. If there were, Xu Yan would not have been brought up in Fu General Manor. She did not have many old servants. Furthermore, she was not from the capital, so even if those servants were still around, they would not be very close.

So why did the servant come all the way to depend on a lonely mistress who was leading a hard life?

Only those from the capital knew that Xu Yan had married Mo Xuetong’s father. They were the only ones who knew that Xu Yan was no longer the helpless niece who was being fostered in Fu General Manor.

“Go and investigate when we enter the manor, how many new servants entered the manor this month and how they entered. What are they doing now?” Mo Xuetong’s gaze landed on the horse carriage outside the manor gates. The large and expensive horse carriage had the emblem of King Xuan’s Manor on it. If the carriage had purple pearl door curtains and window blinds… Mo Xuetong would have thought that it was Feng Yuran’s horse carriage.

That man really liked the flamboyant purple color! It was as if he was afraid that others would not know that the person sitting inside was the wealthy, arrogant, and rude master of King Xuan’s Manor…

It was completely unlike the horse carriage of the Mo Manor. The carriage only had the Mo Manor’s emblem on the corner. Even though it was clear, it was not obvious.

“I will enter the manor in a while and find out more from someone I know.” Mo Lan nodded in understanding. She also looked at the beautiful carriage and then turned to look at Mo Xuetong with a smile. She teased Mo Xuetong, “His Highness truly dotes on you. This horse carriage is really a match with his horse carriage. Everyone will know that Your Lady is sitting in it wherever you go.”

She made it sound as if Feng Yuran could not leave Mo Xuetong even for a second. A flush appeared on Mo Xuetong’s pale skin. She said with annoyance, “You don’t have to go if you speak nonsense again.”

“My Lady, I will not speak anymore. Please let me go with you. We won’t be able to see anything if we reach there late.” Mo Lan pleaded with a smile.

They got onto the horse carriage, laughing and talking, and headed towards the Mo Manor!
