Chapter 470 - Jealousy, Came out of nowhere (1/2)
The two held each other to get into Feng Yuran’s flamboyant carriage. In the carriage, Feng Yuran leaned on the couch leisurely and took Mo Xuetong into his arms. He touched her face tenderly and said with a relaxed att.i.tude, “How about Feng Yue’s people? How about replacing Mo Ye and Mo Feng with Feng Yue’s people? It would have saved the trouble the two useless guys made when they failed to finish such a small task.”
When Feng Yuran spoke the first sentence, Mo Xuetong’s heart dropped a beat, but she immediately got what Feng Yuran actually meant. She leaned on his chest cutely, rubbed him with her small face, and even took the initiative to hook his neck. She said in a pretty manner, “Your Highness, what? How can your people be useless? The two can smooth things out well, big or small.”
Feng Yuran stretched his hand to hold her white and tender fingers, took a sideways glance at Mo Xuetong who was leaning on his chest as actively and obediently as a cat, and smiled enchantingly. “Since the two are so useful, why did you still ask Feng Yue to find the people? It was obvious that the two are useless. Well, after returning to the manor, I will appoint more people to you to replace the two.”
He looked really angry!
Mo Xuetong put down a hand quickly and touched his chest obsequiously. She leaned her head back slightly, and could see his chin raising high and his mouth pouting a bit. Unbelievably, Feng Yuran, conceited and indolent, would behave like a child now. Mo Xuetong’s long eyelashes flickered to conceal the smile in her eyes. Since he was displeased now, Mo Xuetong thought she could not infuriate him.
Charming ripples appeared in her clear eyes, and her pinkish mouth pouted slightly. She pulled his sleeve and said with an aggrieved look. “I was afraid that being understaffed, I would be framed by others. I just prepared for the unexpected. I was just timid and afraid that something terrible would happen.”
“Afraid of being understaffed? You can tell me. Why did you bother to tell Feng Yue secretly? Well, afraid of letting me know about it?” Feng Yuran raised his lips slightly and had a half-smile on his handsome face. His beautiful eyes glittered with enchantment, which would make people blush and their hearts beat faster. His attractive red lips curled up slightly with natural charm at the corner of his lips.
“How come? I was afraid that you’d be worried about me!” Mo Xuetong would not admit it at this time. She raised her clear eyes to look at him fawningly and pulled his sleeve, and he had to put down his hand.
As a matter of fact, she did not want Feng Yuran to know about it, but was afraid that they would have any countermeasures afterward, she asked Feng Yue to find more people to follow Mo Feng so as to avoid being framed by Feng Yulei because of incomplete consideration. Fortunately, things went on step by step as she had planned. It turned out alarming but not dangerous.
And the most important was that she was afraid Feng Yulei intended to frame Feng Yuran by taking advantage of her, so she simply left Feng Yuran out. Therefore, no matter how terrible the matter was, it was just a matter about the women in the inner court, which could not stir up too much trouble.
Feng Yuran touched her long hair, raised his thin lips into a smile, and said, “Huh, did you really think so?”
“Of course, of course, I promise, it’s really not a big deal. Just Mo Xueqiong and You Yuecheng ganged up again for some reason. I didn’t know if You Yuecheng made some promise to Mo Xueqiong so as to let her deceive me out and try to put the blame on me that I abducted the king’s second consort to flee. It is a matter about the women in the inner court. You’d better not get involved. Rest a.s.sured. I’m fine.”
Mo Xuetong raised her white and tender hand to the ear, and promised seriously. Then, she rubbed his chest with her chin and said softly.
“Really? Nothing else happened?”
“Really.”
“Do you have anything else hidden from me?” Feng Yuran held her to look at her face-to-face. He leaned to one side and turned her under his body. Strong masculine smell drilled into Mo Xuetong’s senses in all directions. Her face blushed, and she twisted uneasily. Looking at the half-smile on his handsome face, she decided to tell him everything honestly.
“I asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the house of the minister of the Ministry of Works. You Yuecheng and Feng Yulei were bound to send people to keep an eye on that carriage. When seeing the carriage enter the minister’s house, they would investigate the minister for sure.” Mo Xuetong smiled sweetly. Her smile was as beautiful as a blossoming flower. Her clear eyes blinked at him cutely, and her giggles sounded happy and lovely.
Looking at Mo Xuetong who was completely undefended against him, Feng Yuran could not help laughing, and his kiss fell on her tender forehead. He said, “Cunning girl, aren’t you afraid that my third brother will find you finally?”
“I’m not afraid at all. He couldn’t find me. They only thought it was Lian An who caused them trouble, but they couldn’t figure out immediately why Lian An caused them trouble. As they investigate more deeply, they will find something about Consort Zhao. As for the things about my mother, Consort Zhao must know something about it. When Consort Zhao is forced to act rashly by the Empress, the truth about my mother will be revealed easier.”
Leaning on Feng Yuran, Mo Xuetong smiled sweetly and told her plan step by step.
“What a cunning girl!” Feng Yuran could not help laughing, touched her hair, and continued to say, “Okay. Let’s just stay at home these days and go nowhere else. In the back garden, I set up a new flower stand and planted some flowers. I will show you tomorrow.”
“What happened?” Mo Xuetong pushed him away hard, and turned over. Her bright eyes blinked and looked at him cautiously. During these days, Feng Yuran was so fully occupied that Mo Xuetong did not think that he would be in a leisurely and carefree mood to plant flowers and play on a swing with her.
Looking at her round eyes, Feng Yuran couldn’t help but laugh, pulled her on his chest, and chuckled. The palpitating on his chest eased the serious look on Mo Xuetong’s face. It seemed that it was not a bad thing. At least Feng Yuran looked rather pleased. But she still couldn’t rest her mind, because he was so astute and scheming!
Mo Xuetong shot a sideways glare at Feng Yuran, stretched her hands to tickle his armpit, and said with a pretending stern look, “Tell me, do you have anything else hidden from me?” But her smart eyes glittered with her natural charm. At merely a glance, it was more than alluring.
