Chapter 568 - Changes Happened in General Manor (1/2)
Before Luo Mingzhu and Mo Xuetong had time to go to General Manor, the next morning, Luo Mingzhu hurried into King Xuan’s Manor and entered Mo Xuetong’s room.
Mo Xuetong had just gotten up and had breakfast. She asked the maidservant to pour a cup of hot tea for Luo Mingzhu. Then she noticed that the latter picked the cup, took a sip of it and looked around.
Understanding what she meant, Mo Xuetong waved her hand, gesturing for the servants to leave. Then, she asked directly, “Second Cousin, what’s the matter?”
With a glance at Luo Mingzhu, she knew that something was happening. Luo Mingzhu’s face was pale and she gritted her teeth angrily.
“Cousin Tong, Elder Brother…” Luo Mingzhu felt so embarra.s.sed that she lowered her head. Putting down the teacup in her hand, she gritted her teeth and said, “Cousin Tong, Elder Brother was drunk yesterday and somehow slept with Yun Ya on the same bed. The manor was in chaos this morning. I heard that Elder Brother was going to marry Yun Ya.”
Mo Xuetong was startled. Her brain was in buzz and she could not say another word.
There was something called coldness that rose from her heart and surrounded her, making her almost breathless for a moment!
Who was Luo Wenyou? In her past life, Mo Xuetong had known that he was a gentleman who was extremely well-behaved. In her past life, she had heard that a woman who was said very beautiful wanted to be his concubine, but he had rejected her. It could be said that he was the purest person in General Manor, and all his children were born to his official wife.
Even though the two uncles also had a few concubines, they were usually promoted from the previous maids, and since they married their wife, they had never taken a concubine, not to mention to take a concubine before the legal wife married into their family. It was impossible. Mo Xuetong subconsciously felt that Yun Ya had plotted against Luo Wenyou. That woman was not as weak as she seemed on the surface.
“How could Eldest Cousin be with Yun Ya?” Mo Xuetong’s eyelashes fluttered and she breathed a long sigh. She looked up at Luo Mingzhu and immediately made a decision in her heart. In the last life, she was incompetent and could not even protect herself. In this life, not only would she live well, but she also would protect the person she wanted to protect.
Even if she had to inflict a b.l.o.o.d.y blow on some people.
“I heard from the people in the manor that it was a little late when Elder Brother returned home yesterday. When he walked to his room, he saw that there was someone in Father’s study, so he went to see him. It happened that Father had not eaten dinner yet, so he asked someone to prepare some wine. The two of them had a few drinks. After that, Elder Brother was a little drunk. It was getting late, so Father asked someone to take Elder Brother to the wing room to sleep. Unexpectedly, when he woke up, he found that Yun Ya was also there. It was said that Elder Brother forced her to go into the wing room when Yun Ya came back from Mother’s yard.”
Luo Mingzhu didn’t believe it, and neither did Mo Xuetong.
What kind of person was Luo Wenyou? He had been drunk before, but he had always behaved well. When he was drunk, he would only sleep and would not do anything else. Furthermore, it was too coincidental. How could it be so coincidental that when Luo Wenyou was drunk, Yun Ya happened to pa.s.s by and was even pulled into the wing room?
Mo Xuetong looked up at Luo Mingzhu and said, “Second Cousin, does Second Aunt know what kind of person your cousin is?”
Mo Xuetong felt that it was too coincidental to exist. However, it happened. Madam Qu was now in charge of General Manor, and her First Aunt and First Uncle were at the border. Her grandmother, who could make decisions in the manor, had always been in poor health. So if someone had arranged it, Madam Qu was most likely to be the chief culprit.
Other people could not accurately calculate the time when Luo Wenyou would be drunk. Furthermore, even though Luo Wenyou could not hold his liquor, he could still drink much more wine than his uncle did.
However, Madam Qu was Luo Mingzhu’s biological mother, and Mo Xuetong had to find out.
In her past life, General Manor had been destroyed because of a plot. In this life, Yun Ya was definitely not a simple girl. She had an ambiguous relations.h.i.+p with other men, but she was still willing to marry into the manor to be Luo Wenyou’s concubine. She was managing to be Luo Wenyou’s concubine. How could Mo Xuetong not be wary? Someone was plotting against General Manor again.
No matter what, she would not allow General Manor to be plotted against. Including her grandmother and her cousin, they were all her relatives that she wanted to protect.
In the past, she could only watch as General Manor fell and her grandmother died and then she was burned. Now, she would not allow something like this to happen, even if her Second Aunt was the chief culprit. There was a hint of hatred in the corner of her eyes subconsciously.
“Actually, I have told Mother many times about Yun Ya, but she didn’t believe me. I heard that my Aunt wrote a letter to Mother. She claimed that Yun Ya was framed by others and was young and ignorant. She had put all the blame on others. It seemed that Yun Ya was really innocent. Mother also told me to take good care of Yun Ya. I didn’t have any patience when I heard that. I didn’t expect her to be so confused and help outsiders to plot against Elder Brother. She, she made First Uncle and his family feel disappointed!”
Luo Mingzhu’s face was full of anger and she wanted to run back to the manor immediately to show her confused mother what kind of person Yun Ya was. Initially, she did not expect that this matter had something to do with her mother. When Mo Xuetong asked her, she immediately understood that her mother must have gotten involved in it; otherwise, Yun Ya would not be able to sleep with her Elder Brother so easily.
