Chapter 583 - Misjudge, Ling Ruier Lost Control of Her Temper (1/2)

“What a shameless woman! How dare she have an affair with another man?”

“This is the n.o.ble King Chu’s Manor. They are courting death.”

“I heard that the daughter of the Mo family is a gentle and virtuous girl. I didn’t expect her to be such a s.l.u.t. Didn’t she claim that Consort Chu killed the child in her belly a few months ago? Perhaps it wasn’t King Chu’s child.”

“Consort Chu is a kind person. If that woman were in someone else’s family, she would have been beaten to death.” They brought forward the matter that Ling Rui’er had caused Mo Yarui to miscarry. Furthermore, everyone was on Ling Rui’er’s side. Hearing their conversation, Ling Rui’er was so smug that she almost could not remain the angry look on her face.

She killed three birds with one stone. Si Rong looked common but was very smart.

“After this incident, King Chu will definitely care more about me. Even the Emperor in the palace will feel that he was wrong and think highly of me. I’m going to get glory by taking advantage of the two s.l.u.ts Mo Yarui and Mo Xuetong!”

Ling Rui’er was so proud of herself. However, she knew that she could not show anything at this moment. Her face was still pale and she looked mad. “Go and get His Highness here. Let him see for himself what’s going on. Also, ask His Highness King Xuan to come too and give King Chu’s Manor an explanation.”

“Yes, I’ll go right away.” A clever maidservant ran away.

Yesterday, King Chu worked in the study, and it was said that he had seen Mo Yarui’s cousin secretly left from the back door. With today’s evidence, Mo Yarui and Mo Xuetong couldn’t escape!

“Consort Chu, are you so sure that I have something to do with this?” Mo Xuetong faintly smiled and lightly asked Ling Rui’er whose face was livid with anger.

“Consort Xuan, can you give us any other explanation? You called away Mo Yarui and you also brought this man into the manor. Now they did such a thing. How can you explain it, Consort Xuan?” Ling Rui’er didn’t lose her temper but smiled when she saw how calm Mo Xuetong was.

“Something like that happened at your banquet in your manor. You caused a scandal for your manor, and you can’t stand to see how quiet our manor was and made such a thing in our manor. Consort Xuan, you are too selfish and scheming. This is King Chu’s Manor, the house of King Xuan’s eldest brother. You are just a sister-in-law. What do you want to do here to satisfy you?”

Ling Rui’er glared at Mo Xuetong and snapped in one breath.

The meaning of her words made all the madams think about it. A woman meddled in the affairs of her husband’s eldest brother’s manor. It was not a simple matter. Moreover, as a sister-in-law, she even intervened with the inner yard of King Chu’s Manor and deliberately messed up the inner yard. Was it because she couldn’t bear to see their peaceful life, or was there another reason behind it?

The madams looked at each other, but no one dared to say anything. They had better know less about such a royal scandal. Maybe someone would kill them. That matter had just happened in the palace, and such a scandal happened to King Chu’s Manor. Now that there was evidence to prove it, Consort Xuan would die this time.

Mo Xuetong knew that Ling Rui’er was determined to kill her when she saw how Ling Rui’er was pretending to be angry. Her smile grew even gentler as she said, “Consort Chu, are you trying to blame it all on me? Second Consort Mo wanted to see me, and I only told that I would go to her a while later. I rest beside the rockery. The madams have seen that man poking his head out, but did they see anything odd about me? As for sending the gifts yesterday, I only sent an older maidservant of our manor’s back yard to come. Why is there another man? Why are you trying to blame it all on me, Consort Chu? Could it be that the back yard of King Chu’s Manor is so loose that anyone can enter as they wish? Furthermore, taking advantage of the banquet, a man from outside came in and peeked at a female guest, but no one cared about it.”

“What if the man spies on an unmarried young lady and talks about it after he goes out?”

Mo Xuetong said the last sentence while looking at the older madams. The madams’ expressions changed when they heard that. They all had daughters. Since King Chu’s Manor had invited them this time, how could they not come? If their daughters were really seen by a stranger man and the man were to speak nonsense outside, it would ruin their daughter’s reputation. How could they not be nervous?

“Consort Xuan, you cry only when death is staring you in the face. Do you want to ask the eunuch of His Highness? I heard that they also saw a man sneaking away from the back door yesterday.” Ling Rui’er was so angry when Mo Xuetong had led the matter to the back yard’s security. However, a hint of pride appeared at the corners of her eyes. She thought Mo Xuetong was at her wit’s end and had no choice but to push the matter to the back yard of King Chu’s Manor. She grew even more relieved.

In her eyes, Mo Xuetong did this in order to wage a deathbed struggle.

While they were arguing, no one noticed that the two people in the quilt moved slightly.

Mo Xuetong smiled lightly and persuaded her unhurriedly, “Consort Chu, the things that you said earlier were all seen by the young and older maidservants of your manor. Aren’t they all servants of your manor? If their master has given them orders… Consort Chu, don’t make a fuss. It will not look good on everyone if you make a fuss.”

Ling Rui’er was Consort Chu, the mistress of King Chu’s Manor. It would be easy for her to get a few servants to testify against Mo Xuetong. It was not until then that the madams remembered that every strong evidence had just been given by the people of King Chu’s Manor… Could it be that Consort Chu was the one who framed Consort Xuan?

Everyone suspiciously looked at Ling Rui’er who was blus.h.i.+ng because of Mo Xuetong’s words. Ling Rui’er was the one who had caused a lot of trouble in the palace. Was she angry that Consort Xuan had spilled watermelon juice on her in the palace? Did she come to seek revenge on Consort Xuan on her home ground?

If that was the case, then it could explain that the young and older maidservants rushed to reveal that the matter had something to do with Consort Xuan.

Ling Rui’er did not expect Mo Xuetong to be so crafty as to fight back from the points that she had not prepared. She and Si Rong had come up with all sorts of possibilities. They used every opportunity to lead everyone’s suspicion to Mo Xuetong and even destroyed all the evidence. The maidservant and manservant were not the servants of King Chu’s Manor. Even if Mo Xuetong wanted to investigate the entire manor, she would not be able to find them.
