Chapter 465 - Anger and You Yuee Embarrasses Herself (2/2)

Mo Xuetong was going to raise the matter to the Emperor?

You Yue’e shuddered forcefully. She no longer saw red and instead, her lips immediately paled. She stomped her feet and then said angrily, “Let’s go.”

She knew that if a fuss was made about what happened, it would not be beneficial to King Yan. She had to discuss this with her elder brother. You Yue’e could not be bothered to deal with the aftermath and led her servants into the temple hurriedly as well.

Upon seeing the two Consorts leaving, the madams present glanced at each other. Even though they did not say anything, they all moved away as one. They led their daughters back into the temple slowly. What happened today had been sudden and the chain of events had come one after another. However, in the end, they were all scandals belonging to King Yan’s Manor. The madams and ladies present could not help but think ill of King Yan’s Manor.

The monks of the temples hurriedly dealt with the blood outside.

n.o.body noticed that the driver got onto the carriage and led it down the mountain through a tiny path leading from the back door. It went all the way to the capital and stopped outside someone’s back door. The driver looked around him and saw that there was no one around. He knocked on the door forcefully before hiding somewhere.

A burly maid came out from the back door. She saw that there was no one at the door and started cursing while turning back. She suddenly saw the horse carriage outside the door. The driver was not on the carriage. The maid approached the carriage and looked around her. When she saw that there was no one else, her eyes gleamed with joy. She dragged the carriage to the door with a rope and called for another servant. The two dragged the carriage inside together.

The back door was shut once more.

The driver left when he saw that everything had gone according to plan.

Inside a room at the back courtyard of the temple, Feng Yulei was as anxious as a cat on hot bricks. He paced around the room. You Yuecheng sat on a chair at the window. His expression was gloomy as well and his brows were tightly locked. His hands were clenched up in fists on the table. On the other side of the table sat You Yue’e. She looked at the two men and did not know how to deal with the situation.

Seeing that the two men did not speak, You Yue’e could not bear it any longer. She said softly, “Your Highness, Elder Brother, you two…”

Feng Yulei finally stopped in front of You Yuecheng after he paced around the room a few more times. He waved his hand to stop You Yue’e from speaking. Then, he said, “Yuecheng, what should we do now? If Father finds out that I plotted this, I will be doomed.”

He had wanted to plot against Feng Yuran through Mo Xuetong. He wanted to plot against his father’s favorite son. When he thought of how angry his father was going to be when he found out about what happened, Feng Yulei’s expression turned dark and gloomy like the skies when it was about to rain. He looked at You Yuecheng unhappily. If You Yuecheng was not his most trusted confidant, he would have already yelled at him.

He stared at You Yuecheng darkly, looking like a gambler who had lost everything. His eyes glowed with despair and bloodthirstiness.

“Your Highness, do not worry.” You Yuecheng said.

“How can I not worry? If Father finds out about this, he would definitely question Mo Xueqiong. It’s not just this time. What about what happened last time? That woman is not someone who can keep secrets. She will spew once she is tortured. Yuecheng, Mingguo Manor will be in danger then too.”

Feng Yulei said hatefully, gritting his teeth.

You Yue’e did not understand and suddenly asked, “Your Highness, Elder Brother, what happened last time?”

“Younger Sister, go back to your room. I have things to discuss with His Highness.” You Yuecheng stopped You Yue’e from asking questions, his expression was cold and full of impatience. He had a splitting headache and he could not understand how Mo Xuetong had managed to escape this time. Their plan was perfect and he had already thought of all possible loopholes. However, he did not expect that they would still fail at the last juncture. How could he not be angry and annoyed?

“Elder Brother, I…”

“Go.” Feng Yulei hollered. He was in no mood to pay attention to how You Yue’e felt.

“I…” You Yue’e had never been treated like this since she got married. Her eyes reddened. She thought of all the grievances she suffered today and how those people looked at her. It was obvious they all thought her to be a viperous woman and all the good reputation that she had in the past was completely destroyed. She bit her lips and turned to leave sadly.

She walked to the door and turned to look at the two men inside. She had grown up pampered by all as the legitimate daughter of Duke Mingguo. She had never been treated so badly. One of them was her husband who treated her with love while the other was her elder brother who doted on her. She chocked up and could not stop her tears from flowing down her cheeks. She clapped her handkerchief to her mouth and ran out crying.
