Chapter 461 - The Shocking Incident at the Back Courtyard Entrance in the Afternoon (2/2)

“Second Consort, rest a.s.sured. Even though I didn’t see Third Miss getting off the carriage, given Third Miss’s status, she wouldn’t reveal her face just anyhow, would she? I heard Third Miss and Mo Ye talking. Third Miss sounds impatient and sounds as if she won’t wait for you if you are late.”

Mo Yan replied honestly and also mentioned what she thought as well. She had served Mo Xueqiong all this while and was a little older than Mo Xueqiong. She had her own mind. Mo Xueqiong usually listened to her. When Mo Xueqiong saw how certain Mo Yan was, and then thought about how Mo Xuetong treated her, she nodded with satisfaction. She heaved a sigh of relief deep down inside.

Mo Xuetong had to be inside the carriage.

Mo Xuetong did not like her but because she had begged her and they were sisters, Mo Xuetong had agreed to save her. However, because of what happened in the past, she was not very willing. Mo Xuetong had told her, without any care for their relations.h.i.+p, that this would be the last time. As such, it was definitely Mo Xuetong inside the horse carriage.

That was great. She would land Mo Xuetong in boiling hot water today. That s.l.u.t. If she had died then, Mo Xueqiong would not be in her current predicament. Mo Xuetong had ruined everything for her and she was going to destroy Mo Xuetong. A hint of satisfaction flashed in Mo Xueqiong’s eyes and they glinted with viciousness.

“Mo Jiao, hurry up and bring that over. We have to be faster and not give Mo Xuetong a chance to run away.” Mo Xueqiong did not hesitate any longer and ordered Mo Jiao around.

They did not have much and had already placed everything on the table. There were only two average-sized packages. Those were things they had to bring with them. Mo Jiao and Mo Yan held one each and followed behind Mo Xueqiong as they hurried towards the outside.

It was still slightly hot at that time. The people of King Yan’s Manor had a habit of taking afternoon naps. Even though it was almost three in the afternoon, it did not stop them from continuing with their naps. Mo Xueqiong’s room was slightly to the corner and was a wall away from the men’s wing rooms. They left through an alley without anyone noticing.

The three did not encounter anyone on their way out. They made their way to the door stealthily and saw a maid waiting at the entrance looking incredibly impatient. The maid was looking around and when she saw Mo Xueqiong and her two maids approaching, she went up to them. She said impatiently, “Are you Fourth Miss? My Lady and I have been waiting for so long. Why have you only come now? My Lady is a little tired and Elder Sister Mo Ye is doing a leg ma.s.sage for her right now. Are you going to get on the carriage now or are you going to wait for a while?”

The maid’s incredibly disrespectful att.i.tude made Mo Xueqiong want to scold her. No matter how downtrodden she was right now, she was still King Yan’s Second Consort. Even a little maid was disparaging her right now, so how could she not feel angry? Mo Xuetong was indeed a fox. She was not here to help her but to laugh at Mo Xueqiong.

In her anger, Mo Xueqiong had long forgotten that she wanted to ask if Mo Xuetong was on the horse carriage. She also did not notice that the insignia of King Xuan’s Manor was no longer on the horse carriage. She also did not think about why the maid wasn’t ma.s.saging Mo Xuetong in the horse carriage but a higher-ranking maid was doing that instead. Instead, she rushed over to the horse carriage angrily.

That d.a.m.nable Mo Xuetong was indeed here to shame her! She would put up with this. In any case, Mo Xuetong would be the one shamed in the future.

“Second Consort, don’t be angry. Put up with it for a little while more.” Mo Yan said softly as she tugged on Mo Xueqiong’s sleeve behind her.

“Don’t worry. I will tolerate it. Anyway, Mo Xuetong won’t be able to escape anymore. I can take this.” Mo Xueqiong said, gritting her teeth. She glared at the maid hatefully and the maid took a few steps backward.

“Third Sister, thank you for picking me up personally.” Mo Xueqiong got onto the horse carriage. A hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes which were hidden under the gauze curtain even while she spoke politely.

She reached out to pull the curtains open. The light outside was very bright and it was too dark inside. Her eyes had not yet gotten used to the dark as she entered a dark place from a brightly lit one. She could only see a figure who was half-lying down inside the carriage. Mo Xueqiong thought that Mo Xuetong was lying down comfortably inside and the fury in her grew.

She turned back and accepted the bundle that Mo Yan pa.s.sed her. She placed the bundle inside and entered the carriage. She did not care why Mo Xuetong wasn’t making any sounds and said in a fake manner, “I have troubled you, Third Sister. It is so hot and you still have to pick me up. I am very grateful to you. I will definitely pray for blessings for you in front of Buddha in the future and will pray that he will protect you.”

“Who is it?” Mo Xueqiong had not even completed her sentence when a loud commotion sounded outside. It was someone screaming.

“Quick, someone is running away with the Second Consort.”

“How dare you. How dare you two maids encourage the Second Consort to run away with you? This is a serious crime. Men, tie them up.” It had all happened so suddenly and a loud commotion could be heard outside. There was someone screaming and someone yelling. Mo Xueqiong was delighted and could not be bothered with Mo Xuetong. She leaned towards the curtains and listened to what was happening outside quietly.

Mo Yan was secretly pleased when she saw You Yue’e bringing maids along with her as she approached aggressively. However, she appeared to be very frightened and took a few steps backward. She looked as if she wanted to get onto the horse carriage but could not do so as she stumbled. As such, she held on to the horse reins and blocked the horse carriage from moving.

“Move aside. Let go.” The driver who was standing beside the carriage grew anxious when he saw so many people rus.h.i.+ng towards them. He jumped onto the saddle and raised his whip, wanting to spur the horse forward. However, Mo Yan was still holding onto the horse reins tightly and refused to let go. He could not pull the reins out of her hands and started to yell anxiously.

Mo Jiao was frightened out of her wits. She knelt down and trembled in fear.

“Men, capture these two s.l.u.ts. Stop the horse carriage as well.” You Yue’e stared at the driver with a dark expression as she yelled loudly.

A few tough-looking maids went over and brought Mo Jiao away. Two more went to pull Mo Yan off the horse carriage.

“Don’t. Let go. Don’t…” Mo Yan struggled, wanting to free herself. However, she was tiny and was no match for the burly maids. She was pulled off the horse carriage and even though she kept a tight hold on the reins and refused to let go, her hands were slowly pried open.
