Chapter 425 - What Happens in the Past Affects the Future. The Theory of Cause and Effect (2/2)

“Are you really okay?” Qin Yufeng asked concernedly.

Mo Xuetong accepted the handkerchief Mo Lan handed her and wiped the sweat off her face. She took the opportunity to calm herself down. Qin Yufeng could not know. He could not have known that she was reliving her life. No one would believe that something like this could happen if they did not experience it for themselves.

Even now, she still did not understand why she had been rebirthed. Even though Qin Yufeng was smarter than most, it was impossible for him to know about something so mysterious.

“Many thanks for your concern, Cousin Feng. It’s really nothing. I’m alright now.” Mo Xuetong smiled softly and handed the handkerchief back to Mo Lan. She released Mo Lan’s hand and continued forward. Qin Yufeng followed after her.

“Cousin Tong, are you doing well in King Xuan’s Manor?” Qin Yufeng suddenly turned to look at Mo Xuetong after they had taken a few steps. He sounded very serious.

Qin Yufeng was very odd today. He was so odd that Mo Xuetong could not tell what he was thinking at all. He kept changing between topics. Even though he was Mo Xuetong’s cousin, it was a little impolite for him to ask about her married life. However, he had done so and had asked as if it were a matter of course.

“His Highness treats me very well!” Mo Xuetong answered lightly.

“I heard that King Xuan fought with you last time?” Qin Yufeng had no intention of letting her off. He continued to press her.

What he was talking about was the time He Yufen talked about. However, this had nothing to do with him. Mo Xuetong stopped unhappily and looked up with lively eyes. She looked at Qin Yufeng and said coldly, “Cousin Feng, His Highness and I are doing very well. You don’t have to keep asking.”

Qin Yufeng was startled. He did not expect Mo Xuetong to be so fierce. A hint of darkness flashed in his eyes. He looked up and did not comment. Instead, he smiled good-naturedly.

The two did not speak as they continued their journey.

When they arrived in front of Qin Yufeng’s study, Mo Xuetong did not enter. Qin Yufeng did not ask her to either. He went in alone and retrieved a rolled-up painting which he handed to Mo Lan.

Qin Yufeng’s eyes flashed with agitation that he did not notice as he watched Mo Xuetong’s slender figure gradually disappearing before his eyes. Qin Yufeng only retired to his study when Mo Xuetong’s figure disappeared entirely.

The books in the study were arranged neatly. They were all books that were meant to prepare for the major exam. However, he did not look at them. He sat before the wide study desk and pulled out a book from the secret corner of the desk. He frowned slightly. The book was old and damaged. Could these mysterious and secretive incidents be real?

But why was his dream so realistic!

The pain in his heart was intense and immense… it felt as if his heart were tearing apart…

At that moment, he could sense himself vomiting blood! He wanted to drag the whole world down to be buried with her!

Rationality told him that he should not believe in it. However, it felt extremely realistic!

Earlier, he could sense his joy and happiness. Was it because of her?

His heart, which had always been calm, suddenly leaped furiously. If he had not always been good at hiding his emotions, he would not have been able to hide the joy he felt in his eyes.

Mo Xuetong left hurriedly. Her feelings were all over the place. However, she could not describe the feeling. She just wanted to leave the place subconsciously. She felt an odd sentimentality. There was a little sadness, a little hatred, and she felt a little touched…

Speaking of which, this Qin Yufeng was getting harder and harder to understand!

And the jumbled memories in her head were even weirder. They were so weird that she subconsciously did not dare to touch them.

When Mo Xuetong returned to the banquet, it was already ending. Old Madam Qin sat at the head table and chatted with others with a smile on her face. Even though Mdm Yu was a little pale, one could not tell that something had happened. However, one could see that the worry in her eyes seemed to have lightened. Auntie Fang was quite a burden to Mdm Yu.

Given Auntie Fang’s reputation right now, anyone who took her in would not end well either. Not even the Yu family dared to take her in. As Auntie Fang’s elder sister who was already married, Mdm Yu would have implicated her husband’s family. It was quite stressful for her.

No one knew Mdm Yu was such a sentimental person!

Mo Xuetong had only just sat down when He Yufen approached. She said sweetly, “Cousin-in-law.”

She was like a piece of stubborn sticky tape that just couldn’t be peeled off.

Mo Xuetong smiled faintly and nodded. However, she did not speak. A familiar figure suddenly appeared before her eyes. She was stunned and quickly turned to look at the figure. However, the figure had already disappeared. Mo Xuetong frowned slightly. The figure was so familiar that Mo Xuetong almost s.p.a.ced out.

Mo Ye stepped in front of Mo Xuetong and pushed He Yufen away. She made it so that He Yufen could not get close to Mo Xuetong at all. Fortunately, the banquet was ending. Feng Yuran would send someone to take Mo Xuetong home. After bidding Old Madam Qin farewell, Mo Xuetong walked out with her maids.

No matter how many tricks the He sisters had up their sleeves, they would not be able to use them. They could only watch as Mo Xuetong boarded and left on the luxurious and beautiful horse carriage outside.
