Chapter 561 - Make Trouble, Someone from the Southern Barbarian Lands (2/2)

“Second Consort Mo is the one in charge of King Chu’s Manor? You’re so stubborn. I didn’t expect it was a concubine who was in charge of King Chu’s Manor. It’s really eye-opening.”

Her words were extremely rude, but when one thought about it, it was a fact. Although a second consort was also recorded in the royal family, she was just a concubine. When a concubine was in charge of the household, it was like spoiling the concubine and destroying the wife. Mo Yarui really couldn’t bear it. Her face turned pale on the spot, her lips trembling, and her eyes turned red. She almost burst into tears.

She was now indeed a concubine. It was because of the status of a concubine that the child in her belly was gone. When she thought of this, a lump came into her throat and she could not hold back her tears.

Noticing Mo Yarui was going to cry, Mo Xuetong let out a sigh. She did not want to get involved in this matter initially. It did not seem right no matter how she thought about the matter. Why did the lady from the Southern Barbarian Lands come to the embroidery store and even b.u.mp into that old woman? Mo Ye had told her earlier that the old woman seemed to be a martial arts pract.i.tioner. She had been knocked down so badly, but she was fine. Even though she was crying so loudly, she secretly looked out from her handkerchief and was paying attention to the few of them.

It seemed that she wanted to frame someone!

Mo Xuetong did not want to get involved in such a matter, and just wanted to bring a stool to the side and watch the show. However, Mo Yarui’s current state made it impossible for her to continue watching. After all, she was on Mo Yarui’s side. That lady did not seem to be a reasonable person. After she scolded Mo Yarui, it would be Mo Xuetong’s turn to be scolded. As such, Mo Xuetong might as well do something first in case she should say anything unpleasant.

She waved her hand and gestured for Mo Yu to go up. Amongst all her maidservants, Mo Yu was the one who was the most sharp-tongued. It was the best to deal with such an unreasonable young lady. Furthermore, as a prince’s wife, she did not have to go against someone directly in case she would lose face.

Standing nearby, Mo Yu was already furious as she witnessed the scene. How could the lady bully others like that? Now that she saw Mo Xuetong’s gesture, she immediately went up and glanced sideways at the lady. She said loudly, “Miss, are you joking? She is the second consort of King Chu. How could she be the same as an ordinary concubine? She is a member of the royal family. I wonder if you’re looking down on King Chu or the royal family. But no matter what, you have to go with Second Consort Mo to meet the officials.”

Mo Yu walked forward and tried to drag the lady after she said that. Mei Yu gnashed her teeth in anger as she watched her master suffer. Then, she rolled up her sleeves and went to help.

She was trying to drag the lady to the judge, for slandering the royal family. The arrogant lady’s eyes glinted and she hurriedly took two steps back. Two maidservants behind her came forward and stood in front of Mo Yu and Mei Yu. The yellow-clothed maidservant who had been in charge of the accounts earlier took two steps forward under her master’s indication and said with a smile.

“Wait, Miss, it’s really inconvenient today. Our miss didn’t mean to scold Second Consort Mo. Our miss won’t go back on her word. Second Consort Mo’s words just now really made our lady lose face. It’s just a few taels of silver. It’s not a big deal. Tomorrow, we’ll send the money to King Chu’s Manor to pay according to the arranged price. What do you say?”

She meant to make concessions to avoid trouble.

Mo Xuetong turned around and looked at Mo Yarui. She asked gently, “Second Consort Mo, look…” This was not her own business, so she could not make a decision. She could only listen to Mo Yarui’s att.i.tude. The lady had already admitted defeat, so there was no point in arguing. Mo Xuetong’s intention was to stop before it was too late.

That was enough. They had no idea what the messenger from the Southern Barbarian Lands meant. She still needed to be careful.

“Yes, I’d like to listen to Consort Xuan. I… I have no objections.” Mo Yarui’s eyes were red with anger. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and bit her lips. She looked at the lady who had sat down again and a trace of grievance and anger flashed through her eyes.

Mo Xuetong looked at Mo Yarui’s eyes carefully, noticing the unwillingness in her eyes. Knowing that she was still angry and might even get mad at her, Mo Xuetong sighed to herself and stood up. She said, “Second Consort Mo, I still have something to deal with in the manor. I shall take my leave now.”

Since Mo Yarui did not feel ashamed and was not very willing to let go of the person opposite her, Mo Xuetong did not want to watch the fun here anymore. From the looks of it, she would be implicated sooner or later. As such, she decided to leave. Furthermore, that lady from the Southern Barbarian Lands was arrogant, but her eyes were clear. It was obvious that she was reserved. She was definitely not a simple girl.

“Consort Xuan.” Mo Yarui was a little fl.u.s.tered when Mo Xuetong was really about to leave. She had always been cowardly and soft. The reason she did not want to let go of the woman earlier was that with Mo Xuetong’s presence, she felt a little confident. When she saw that Mo Xuetong was about to leave, she immediately stood up as well. She tugged on Mo Xuetong’s sleeves fearfully, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked as if she wanted to say something but did not, appearing pitiful.

Such a woman was actually very popular with men. No wonder that she won Feng Yuxuan’s affections and became his second consort when her appearance was only above average. Now she was so pitiful with tears. She wanted Mo Xuetong to stand up for her. But Mo Xuetong really didn’t want to get involved in this strange matter.

She didn’t know who was scheming against whom, but it was better that it wasn’t her. Otherwise, her heart would be really colder.

“Second Consort Mo, forget it. It’s really not a big deal. Look at the young lady. She is at the age to be married, but she still so free outside. She must be doted on by her family. We are members of the royal family. We don’t have to be bothered by such an ignorant young lady,” Mo Xuetong said softly in a low voice. “Be easy on people. Inconvenient situations can happen to anyone. It is normal to not take enough money when one is away from home.”
