Chapter 446 - The Vicious Mo Xueqiong Begs for Help (1/2)
“Third Sister, it was really Mo Xuemin who befuddled me. She was the one who sent the handkerchief to me. That’s right, and there was also Mo Xueyan. She was jealous of you and questioned why you should be able to stomp all over us. She said that the three of us would be able to make something of ourselves if we dragged you down…”
The last thread had broken for Mo Xueqiong. Tears slid down her cheeks and she cried at Mo Xuetong, on the brink of breaking down. “Third Sister, it’s true. The two of them befuddled me. If this wasn’t the truth, may heaven strike me down with thunder and lightning and may I go to h.e.l.l and never be able to be reincarnated.”
Her face was drenched in tears and snot and the white mask she wore stuck to her face, revealing her disfigurement. Blood-colored scars that turned black could be seen on her face. Her scars looked even more serious than when she was just freshly injured. She looked like an evil demon. Mo Lan and the others looked at her in shock.
Could that still be considered a face?
Mo Xueqiong used to be a beauty. However, no one expected her to become like this after entering King Yan’s Manor. It was obvious that someone had done something to her wounds so that they would not heal and would get even worse. Mo Xueqiong’s entire face was dark and bloated.
Her face has been utterly destroyed!
“My Lady, both you and Fourth Miss were lied to by others. Look at Fourth Miss, she became like this because she was tricked. Given Old Sir’s status and how Fourth Miss used to look, she could have married anyone and would not have been bullied. My Lady, you and Fourth Miss are sisters. Why don’t you forgive her!” Mo Lan went up to pull on Mo Xuetong’s sleeve. She pleaded for Mo Xueqiong with a compa.s.sionate expression.
She could not bear it after seeing how pathetic Mo Xueqiong looked.
“Yes, yes, Third Sister. I’ve become like this all because of Mo Xuemin and the others. I was young and ignorant then, that’s why…” Mo Xueqiong felt even more upset when she heard Mo Lan helping her. She thought of how her life was worse than death in King Yan’s Manor and immediately started to sob.
Young and ignorant?
There were only a few days between their ages. How was Mo Xueqiong young and ignorant?
“My Lady, Fourth Miss is already so pitiful, why don’t you let her off? After all, you two are sisters. If Old Sir finds out that you two are not on good terms, he will be upset.” Mo Ye seemed to feel pity for Mo Xueqiong’s miserable state. She also went up to persuade Mo Xuetong softly.
Even though she was soft, Mo Xueqiong was close to them and could hear everything. She hid her face with her handkerchief, hiding the pleased look on it.
“She deserves it. She worked together with Mo Xuemin to plot against me.” Mo Xuetong said angrily. Even though her tone was sharp, her expression had softened.
Mo Xueqiong immediately took the chance to cry. She said, “Third Sister, no one in the King’s Manor would take notice of me. They say that the Second Consort of King Yan is not even worthy to be a maid. Only Mo Yan and Mo Jiao stayed by my side. King Yan’s Manor did not arrange any other servants for me. They only said…They said that I am a second consort and that I am just a concubine. They said that it’s already decent that I have two servants. His Highness, His Highness never visited me once…”
Mo Xueqiong cried so hard that she could not speak any longer. She laid on the floor. Her pitiful cries and ugly appearance were enough to make even the toughest person melt.
Mo Xuetong looked at her coldly from above. After a moment, she turned around to say coldly to Mo Ye, “Go and help Fourth Miss up. She is the Second Consort of a King’s Manor and is still behaving like this. She’s going to embarra.s.s the Mo family.”
“Fourth Miss, please get up. I feel sad looking at you like this. How did this happen? There are so many good medicines in the King’s Manor. I heard that there were consorts who got their faces scratched and they still emerged beautifully and unscathed after that. Why did this happen to you? Your face is ruined. How are you going to live in the King’s Manor in the future?”
Mo Ye helped Mo Xueqiong up. Even though she sounded as if she was concerned for Mo Xueqiong, it just made Mo Xueqiong’s eyes grow even more sinister and vicious. However, she quickly hid that. When she looked up again, she appeared pitiful and upset.
“My Lady, I will go out and take a look at Mo Yu. Mo Yan and Mo Jiao are still blocked outside by her.” Mo Lan said softly.
Mo Xuetong slightly nodded and Mo Lan left accordingly. When she went to the entrance, she saw Mo Yu glaring viciously at Mo Yan and Mo Jiao. The two did not back away either and they glared at Mo Yu with wide eyes. None of the three were willing to back down but they did not speak either. They could hear the conversation inside the room clearly.
Mo Lan lifted the curtain and walked out. She patted Mo Yu and smiled at Mo Yan, saying, “My Lady and the Second Consort are speaking inside. It might take some time. Don’t be offended by Mo Yu, and come inside with me to take a break. When the Second Consort and My Lady are done speaking, you guys can go with the Second Consort.”
“Sister Mo Lan…” Mo Yu said unwillingly.
“Alright, alright. You go in and serve the Lady. I shall entertain these two elder sisters.” Mo Lan smiled in a friendly manner and pushed Mo Yu through the curtain. Mo Yu seemed to want to say something. However, she was already inside the room. She could only stomp her feet and walked toward Mo Xuetong.
Outside the room, Mo Yan hesitated for a moment. She was about to say something when Mo Lan approached politely. She held their hands and dragged them to a wing room. A servant had already made tea and brought it to them.
They were situated in a good spot and were able to see Mo Xuetong’s door. If anyone was to emerge from the room, they would be able to see it. Mo Jiao glanced at Mo Yan, who gave her a small nod. Then, she pasted a smile on her face and thanked Mo Lan profusely. She was not as confrontational as before.
