Chapter 408 - The Past That Had Been Wiped Out in the Memory (1/2)
“Okay,” Mo Xuetong nodded, knowing that Mo Lan hoped her to think a lot of the child, so that Mo Xuetong could gain her father’s favor more. A married woman still needed to rely on her own brother and father. Although Mo Xuetong did not have an elder brother, if Xu Yan conceived a baby boy, the boy would be Mo Xuetong’s younger brother, as well as the support in her paternal family.
As for Mo Yufeng, Mo Xuetong did not have any expectations.
It was said that Mo Yufeng became more muddled and messed up his own yard completely. All of the good-looking maidservants belonged to him, and he had a house of concubines and maidservants with confusing ranks. It was rather ignominious. So father also had no expectation for him. And because Auntie Fang was expelled from Mo’s clan, Mo Yufeng’s presence seemed awkward.
Mo Huawen just gave him a yard and drove him there directly, totally indifferent to him.
After coming back to King Xuan’s Manor, Mo Xuetong found Feng Yuran was not there, so she had lunch herself and went to bed for a nap.
She did not sleep well and could see the flames soaring to the sky from time to time. Burnt in the fire, she was too hurt to breathe, tumbling and wailing. No one came to save her. And she even could hear Mo Xuemin and Sima Lingyun sneering. She knew what they were waiting for was to see the fire burn her to death.
In this way, Mo Xuemin could become Sima Lingyun’s legitimate wife reasonably.
A man in a robe rushed into the fire, shouted her name and saved her out of the fire. But she was unconscious and unable to see his face clearly. But inexplicably, she knew that the man was Qin Yufeng. His painful cry rang, “Mo Xuetong, Mo Xuetong!”
“Mr. Qin, why did you…” came Sima Lingyun’s nervous voice!
At that time, Qin Yufeng was a favorite of Feng Yuxuan, so Sima Lingyun, the Marquess Zhenguo, did not dare to offend him.
“Didn’t I ask you to poison her unconscious and send her away? Why was she here?” Qin Yufeng’s voice was not as gentle as usual, even with some anger and resentment. It was so strange that the calm and deep Qin Yufeng could lose control.
“It was not what we wanted to do, but that she looked for death herself! It has nothing to do with us!” The scene became clearer. Mo Xuetong could see Mo Xuemin wiggling seductively forward and trying to persuade Qin Yufeng. Qin Yufeng was always friendly with Mo Xuemin, so she felt Qin Yufeng was interested in her. Although Mo Xuemin did not understand why Qin Yufeng tried to protect this ugly woman, she still felt that it was not a big deal that the stupid woman was burnt to death.
“She looked for death?” Qin Yufeng sneered, chilly and atrocious. Mo Xuemin was stunned to recede subconsciously, but her chest was p.r.i.c.ked heavily by a sword. When the tip of the sword penetrated through her, blood stained her red wedding dress instantly. She covered her chest with her hands, looked at Qin Yufeng in puzzlement, and fell to the ground without saying a word.
“Qin Yufeng, you are crazy!” Sima Lingyun screamed in shock, and hurried to take two steps back when seeing Qin Yufeng holding the sharp sword.
“I’m crazy! Sima Lingyun, if you can’t treat her well, why bother to marry her? And since you’ve married her, why do you do harm to her? You’ve promised to send her to me, and why did you burn her to death here? Since… your blood… rebirth…” Mo Xuetong’s consciousness blurred and faded away completely.
She struggled to hear clearly, but only heard a scream, quite familiar…
“Tong’er, Tong’er.” Urgent cries awakened her. She opened her eyes blankly and panted heavily, only to see Feng Yuran’s handsome face in front who was looking at her anxiously with his mouth opening and closing. He seemed to be calling her, but she could not collect herself at that moment and had to look at him blankly.
Feng Yuran shook her in suspense. Seeing her opening her eyes with a blank and lifeless look, Feng Yuran got fl.u.s.tered and screamed again, “Tong’er, Tong’er!”
“Yuran, I’m okay.” It took a while for Mo Xuetong to collect herself. Hearing his anxious scream and looking at the cold sweat on his forehead, Mo Xuetong felt relaxed immediately and thought no matter when she had died in the last life, it was enough to have him in this life. Why bothered to be entangled with others? Although she had been framed in the last life, she was willing to live a free and happy life in this life after rebirth.
To find someone who loved her and to live a good life!
She reached out her cold and sweaty hands to hold Feng Yuran’s hands tightly. His hands were warm and dry, which were quite rea.s.suring.
Feng Yuran gave a sigh of relief, but still asked uneasily, “Really okay?”
“I am okay.” Mo Xuetong sat up as holding Feng Yuran and took the handkerchief beside to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead. She could not help snorting with laughter. Feng Yuran always behaved himself in an enchanting and calm manner. When would he become so anxious? It really made her surprised, as well as moved indeed!
In this life, she did not live for nothing. Finally, a man did love her wholeheartedly.
It was enough, wasn’t it?
“You’re still laughing. It’s scary!” Feng Yuran pulled away the handkerchief in her hand and hugged her as a punishment. It felt like he was trying to melt her into his blood and bone. Although it hurt, the heart had softened into a pool of water.
“It’s just a nightmare, not a big deal. Why are you fussing?” Mo Xuetong threw a sidelong look at him and teased.
Feng Yuran did not plan to s.h.i.+ft the topic, so he raised her chin to ask seriously, “Scared by Mo Xuemin?”
