Chapter 447 - Set a Trap in the Puguang Temple: How Vicious! (2/2)

“Oh well, I won’t send any people there. You figure it out yourself!” Mo Xuetong blurted.

Mo Xueqiong’s face turned red immediately, and she dared not to make her statement too absolute, and hurriedly justified herself, “I know that Third Sister must have a way to save me. Only this time, as long as I can escape this time, I will never bother Third Sister anymore, and all I want is to live a restful Iife and pray for Father and Third Sister.”

“There must be many women coming out of the back door at that time. How can the people I send tell which one is you?” Mo Xuetong looked at her nonchalantly and asked.

Mo Xueqiong was dumb by the question. She went around in circles, clapped her hands suddenly, and said, “I got an idea! Third Sister, could you pretend to light incense in the temple that day, so that you can recognize me at the back door, and ask people to take me away? With Third Sister’s presence, everything will be okay without a doubt.”

“Do you want me to go there?” Mo Xuetong’s eyes darkened and looked at Mo Xueqiong nonchalantly.

“Third Sister, Third Sister. Just this time, only this time. I am afraid, I am afraid if I fail to escape this time and get caught, I… I’ll have no way but a dead end. Third Sister, save me!” Mo Xueqiong shrank with a s.h.i.+ver and begged Mo Xuetong with a hint of fear and panic flas.h.i.+ng under her eyes, as if she was really scared to the extreme.

“My Lady, could you please go there? It happens that you will pray for the baby in the Madam’s belly. How about going to the Puguang Temple conveniently? It’s said that the Buddhas there are so efficacious. Last time, My Lady, when you were ill, I went there as well. It is prosperous.” Mo Yu looked at the poor Mo Xueqiong and spoke for her.

“Third Sister, only this time. If, with the Third Sister’s a.s.sistance, I am still unable to escape King Yan’s clutch, I… I will jump down from the cliff over there as an explanation to Third Sister.” Mo Xueqiong screamed with a trace of resolution in her eyes, showing a look that said she would die if she could not escape. Her weak body shook and crumbled.

The room became silent immediately. Mo Xuetong held up the teacup quietly, took a sip and used the celadon tea lid to sweep the tea foam. After a while, she said coolly, “Well, you go back first. When the day comes, you send a letter to inform me.”

“Okay, thank you. Third Sister, I… I thank you very much.” Mo Xuetong sobbed with excitement and grat.i.tude, as if she could not say anything but only thanks at that moment.

Mo Xuetong did not ask her to stay there longer, but just said a few words distantly. Mo Xueqiong thought the thing was settled and did not continue to stay there, and she excused herself with grat.i.tude and made an agreement to meet with Mo Xuetong in the Puguang Temple.

Seeing Mo Xueqiong coming out of the room, Mo Yan and Mo Jiao hurried to come out and left with Mo Xueqiong.

Not until the three people had gone far, did Mo Lan return to the room. Inside the room, Mo Yu had replaced the tea for Mo Xuetong. When seeing Mo Lan come in, Mo Yu asked immediately, “Have you sounded out anything?”

Mo Xuetong also looked over.

“My Lady, Mo Yan and Mo Jiao have close mouths. I asked them for a long time, but got nothing from them. But Mo Jiao spilled the bean and said that the gifts that Fourth Miss brought to the manor were all given by Consort Yan. After saying that, Mo Yan gave a fierce kick to Mo Jiao under the table. Then, however I tried to ask, Mo Jiao just pretended to be dumb while Mo Yan answered me beside.”

Mo Lan came forward to report.

“Just some gifts sent by Consort Yan. Was it worth making a fuss for Mo Yan and Mo Jiao?” We don’t like those things yet.” Mo Yu curled her lip subconsciously and said.

Mo Xuetong’s eyed darkened with a trace of mockery in her eyes. Mo Xueqiong really thought that Mo Xuetong would be cheated to the Puguang Temple by a few soft words. In the last life, Mo Xuetong had happened to know that the dead consorts of the royal family should be put in the Repayment Temple in the capital for praying. After all, it was the royal temple. and those royal dead consorts were not allowed to be randomly placed anywhere else.

“Consort Yan treats Fourth Miss so well, and even gave her the gifts to return to the paternal home. However, our Fourth Miss still performed as if she had been bullied seriously.” Mo Ye also sensed something unusual and said angrily.

“My Lady, all Fourth Miss did was pretense?” Mo Yu blinked and understood what Mo Lan meant, so she asked nervously, “Shall we tell His Highness?”

Thinking that Mo Xueqiong and Mo Xuemin framed Mo Xuetong last time, Mo Yu felt flurried, and her face turned pale with her eyes staring at Mo Xuetong, as if a great calamity was at hand.

Mo Yu’s countenance as though she was confronted by a formidable enemy made the people present laugh.

“Why shall we tell His Highness? Just Mo Xueqiong loathes me and tries to deal with me again. Anyway, I have Mo Feng and Mo Ye around. It is not a big deal.” Mo Xuetong smiled.

“My Lady, do you really want to go? That’s not okay. It’s too dangerous. It will be terrible that Mo Xueqiong stirs any trouble at that time.” Mo Lan’s smile dissolved, and she said with a severe countenance.

“It’s okay. Since someone wants Mo Xueqiong to set the trap, it is not only targeted at me. If I don’t go this time, I don’t know what will happen next time. I might as well go to see and let the person drop the idea forever. By the way, I want to know who is trying to frame me!”

Mo Xuetong said calmly with a hint of coldness flas.h.i.+ng on her lips. She exhaled a long breath of depression from her chest. As for Mo Xueqiong’s end, Mo Xuetong showed no sympathy for her. Just now, Mo Xuetong had seen clearly that Mo Xueqiong sobbed hysterically while peeping at Mo Xuetong’s face secretly.

Obviously, Mo Xueqiong had plotted well, but still pretended to be helpless in front of her. But for Mo Xuetong really wanted to leave and Mo Xueqiong was forced to reveal what she wanted, perhaps Mo Xueqiong would have not told her real intention before acting for a longer time. Mo Xueqiong’s words were mixed with the false and true, and most of them were true, but the false part was the key to frame Mo Xuetong.
