Chapter 482 - Only Entrance But No Exit, Arrival of He Yuxiu (1/2)

“Nothing to do with me.” Feng Yuran saw that there was suspicion hidden in Mo Xuetong’s eyes. He raised up his eyes and felt that he needed to make a proclamation.

“Why is she here?” Mo Xuetong, of course, did not believe that He Yuxiu was here to help her. With knowledge of He Yuxiu’s personality, she was more likely to be using this opportunity to create more troubles. She wondered what scheme He family had up their sleeves.

Before Feng Yuran could answer, she sat upright and pushed him. “Go and have breakfast in Jinwei Pavilion first. I will go and meet her.”

“You are not accompanying me? Feng Yuran looked disappointed as he pulled Mo Xuetong over, unwillingness written over his gaze. He looked even more pitiful than Concubine Qin as if he were an abandoned puppy. No one expected him to be so cold and indifferent just now.

Seeing Feng Yuran’s demeanor, Mo Xuetong laughed out loud. She pushed him and said coyly, “Don’t be mischievous. I am going to see He Yuxiu.”

“Just ask her to leave.”

“How can that be so? She won’t be coming here at such a juncture for no reason.” Mo Xuetong pushed him away again.

Seeing that she was determined, Feng Yuran stood up unwillingly and brought his men to Jinwei Pavilion. He handled most of his matters in Jinwei Pavilion.

Just after he left, He Yuxiu was brought over by a maidservant.

There were no servants next to He Yuxiu. Once she opened the door, her eyes turned red as she cried.

“Cousin-in-law! You need to help me!”

Mo Xuetong was astonished as well by her entrance. She didn’t expect a chubby and bright beauty to turn into such a miserable state. Her face was as sharp as an awl and there was no brilliance in her large pupils as if she was greatly devastated.

Mo Lan’s sharp eyes fell on her dirty and messy clothes. She stepped forth two steps, standing next to Mo Xuetong.

“Second Miss He, what happened?” Mo Xuetong smiled a little and asked politely. She didn’t see a need to be affectionate to He Manor now.

She already caught a glimpse of their scheme. However, she was still skeptical as there was no real evidence.

“Cousin-in-law, cousin-in-law, save me.” Crying, He Yuxiu pushed the maidservants’ hands away. She chose to not sit on the chair but instead kneel on the ground, crying with a handkerchief tightly grasped in her hand.

“Why? What happened again? Did your older sister bully you again?” Mo Xuetong frowned as curiosity filled her watery eyes.

That sentence caused a devious gaze to flash across He Yuxiu’s eyes.

What had happened in Cining Palace was something that she could never forget in her life. Before that, she had a few friends amongst the aristocratic ladies. However, no one bothered to talk to her now. Even when the minister’s wife brought them out for parties, these ladies would only talk to He Yufen instead of her, mocking her or ignoring her instead.

All this was caused by He Yufen, making her full of hatred.

She gritted her teeth as she was determined to ruin them since they were merciless to her.

“Cousin-in-law, cousin-in-law, my older sister… older sister wanted to plot something against my cousin but I knew about it. She…. she wants to kill me.” As He Yuxiu cried, she glanced at Mo Xuetong, seeing that Mo Xuetong was indeed shocked and astonished by that statement. So she acted in a more fl.u.s.tered way.

“She wants to kill you? You have always been nice to each other and are related by blood. Are you sure that it’s not your misunderstanding?” Mo Xuetong’s expression was full of disbelief as she asked. She knew how to pretend too!

“She, she really wants to kill me, because I knew what she wanted to do.” He Yuxiu lifted up her teary eyes as she wiped the tears and repeated her statement, with emphasis on the fact that He Yufen wanted to do something related to Feng Yuran.

Mo Xuetong, however, deviated away from the topic as if she could not understand where the main point was. “How can that be? Your sister has always been a gentle lady. Don’t worry. She will not commit such an act.”

“She really wants to kill me…” He Yuxiu found it increasingly difficult to communicate with Mo Xuetong. Indeed, she was too young, with confusion written all over her eyes as if she completely did not understand what she was talking about. He Yuxiu raised her voice anxiously.

“First Miss He has always been kind. It’s impossible for her to do such a thing.” Mo Xuetong insisted, with determination written over her face. It’s truly curious who gave her so much confidence.

“What kindness? She’s plotting to harm others every day. She might look gentle but she’s, in fact, a shameless…” He Yuxiu almost lost her mind from Mo Xuetong’s insistence. She chided her sister loudly until she saw Mo Xuetong’s bewildered expression. She then immediately wiped tears off her eyes and continued to cry. “Cousin-in-law, I… I am really… my sister is not a good person.”

“What does she want to do?” As if she was traumatized by He Yuxiu’s sharp voice, Mo Xuetong replied slowly after a while.
