Chapter 530 - The Plum Job That Madam Lian Vied for (1/2)

“Madam Lian, your two maids are so straightforward and adorable. Mo Lan, reward them.” Mo Xuetong opened her red lips slightly and said. Mo Lan came over immediately and took out two purses. Ming Yu and Ming Xia took the purses and gave them a pinch. They felt that there were at least two taels of silver. They looked at each other in surprise, knelt down and kowtowed to show their grat.i.tude.

Even though they had taken the salary of the first-cla.s.s maid in Lian’s Manor, Lian’s Manor was not a wealthy family, and they had few rewards in normal times. Now that they had already received a month’s salary, how could they not be overjoyed? They stood behind Madam Lian and looked at Mo Lan and Mo Ye. Both their bearing and clothes were the best. Then, they looked at the decorations in the room and found that they were all of the high quality. They could not help but feel a yearning for King Xuan’s Manor.

If they came to King Xuan’s Manor, their appearance would be definitely as beautiful as these people. Maybe she could attract Feng Yuran’s attention, which meant that she would be rich and powerful in the future.

Ming Yu looked at Ming Xia’s flushed face and scolded her in her heart, “b.i.t.c.h!” She knew that she was dreaming again. She usually hooked up with Lian An once she had the chance, and after seeing how wealthy King Xuan’s Manor was, she would definitely think of ways to hook up with King Xuan. Mo Xuetong seemed to like straightforward people. “b.i.t.c.h, as long as I am around, don’t even think about King Xuan.”

Ming Xia also saw that Ming Yu was looking at the people in the room with bright eyes. She pursed her lips secretly. She was scheming than Ming Yu. Of course she had to behave well at this time. As such, she behaved very steadily. As soon as she thought of that she would live here and see the handsome King Xuan, she could not help but blush.

The two maids stood behind Madam Lian with their own thoughts. They had long forgotten that they were still the maids of the Lian’s Manor.

On the other side, Madam Lian suppressed the anger in her heart and did not look at the two maids. She smiled and said to Mo Xuetong, “My Lady, it wasn’t my fault that day. I didn’t know why Sir Yu followed me in. I thought he had got an invitation to the manor.”

She was rather embarra.s.sed to mention it because Mo Xuetong had interrupted her earlier. When she saw Mo Xuetong’s face darkening, she knew that it was inappropriate to bring up the topic while Mo Xuetong was happy. However, no matter how inappropriate it was, she had to clarify her intentions. Her husband had always told her not to argue with King Xuan’s Manor.

When it came to her husband, Madam Lian trusted him.

“Madam Lian, don’t you know that Her Lady is ill?” Mo Yu said coldly. Her gaze was unfriendly as she looked at Madam Lian.

“How dare you!” Mo Xuetong’s face darkened and she said softly.

Mo Yu was so scared that she knelt on the ground. She defended, “My Lady, I dare not to be presumptuous. But what I said was true. This morning, His Highness said that he would give you justice and was going to ask His Majesty for help to investigate this matter thoroughly.”

King Xuan was going to ask the Emperor for help to investigate this matter thoroughly?

Madam Lian was startled. She didn’t forget that her husband had repeatedly told her that this matter had to be minimized before she came to King Xuan’s Manor. If the Emperor decided to investigate it, it would be hard to explain. If Yu Mingyong really wanted to implicate her, it would be hard to deal with this matter.

Madam Lian felt sweat on her forehead and didn’t dare to sit aside to watch fun anymore. “My Lady, she is right. It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, Sir Yu wouldn’t have been able to get into the manor. It’s also my fault that you got sick in rage.” She smiled and repeatedly said that it was all her fault.

Mo Xuetong’s expression softened and she coughed softly. She wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and looked tired. She said, “Madam Lian, that is overstating. What does this have to do with Madam Lian? You didn’t have to apologize again and again. It’s my fault for my poor health and I can’t blame anyone else.”

Mo Xuetong took a sip of the tea Mo Lan handed her. Then she clutched her chest and panted, looking as if she was feeling terrible. There was a little sweat on her forehead.

“My Lady, you’re already in such a state but you’re still thinking about others. My Lady, I am willing to pray for you in the temple. I… I…” Mo Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly started to cry. “I will definitely beg the Bodhisattva to help you recover quickly and make the bad people pay for it. No, even if the Bodhisattva does not do so, His Highness will make them pay for it.”

Mo Yu said angrily. She looked at Madam Lian while crying, making the madam get in a cold sweat.

King Xuan had beaten more than 10 concubines to death a few days ago. His vicious name could make a crying child stop crying. Even Madam Lian thought of this lawless man. Even though he had killed so many people, he had only been scolded while all the censors in the court were threatened by the Emperor. If it happened in the past, she would not believe it.

Now, no matter others said what this man had done, she would believe it.

When she thought that if something really happened to Consort Xuan, he might come to her manor and make a scene, and even pulled her husband down, it would be big trouble. She heard that since King Xuan married Mo Xuetong, he had been very concerned about the little wife. She couldn’t make him have evil intentions towards her husband just because of Consort Xuan.

But how could she resolve this problem? She had thought that it was enough if she could come here to apologize and give gifts. But now she had just apologized, and Madam Lian didn’t dare to show her gifts as she saw the magnificent ornaments in this room. With those things, would Consort Xuan like her gifts?

What should she do?
