Chapter 588 - Feng Yurans Indulgence towards the Back Yard (1/2)
“Take it easy, don’t worry about him. Actually he is now openly drawing a clear line with Eldest Brother. I also found out that since he and Eldest Brother set you up that time, he has been very well-behaved. Moreover, he has been at home all the time and never gone out. He knows what’s good for him. If he continues to stand on Eldest Brother’s side, I would have been rude to him.”
Mo Xuetong knew that Feng Yuran had always been domineering, and it was normal for him to have such an idea. When he heard that Feng Yuxuan dealt with her and left her in King Yan’s Manor, he was so angry that he went to a.s.sa.s.sinate Feng Yuxuan in person and broke his hand. Feng Yuxuan’s hand was actually useless. Usually, he couldn’t carry anything heavy with it even though it didn’t seem to have any effect on the surface.
Then, Feng Yuran ignored how badly he was injured and brought Mo Xuetong to the entrance of the Qin Manor to watch Qin Yufeng being humiliated. He had made Qin Yufeng who was a gifted scholar seem like a cold-blooded, faithless man. It had almost ruined Qin Yufeng’s reputation as well. If not for Qin Yufeng’s intelligence, he would have been the one to suffer.
When she thought of that, Mo Xuetong’s heart softened even more. This man was not only extremely handsome, but also loved her very much. All the knots she had in her past life had turned into the pa.s.sing clouds due to his gentleness. Well, was there anything else that could move a woman more than the fact that a man who tried so hard to protect her regardless of his n.o.ble status and had done it personally?
n.o.ble people would not put themselves in danger. He was the Emperor’s most beloved and valued prince, but in order to seek revenge for Mo Xuetong, he didn’t care about himself! With such a person protecting her, there was really nothing for her to be worried about!
Even though Qin Yufeng was smart and intelligent, Feng Yuran who acted like a jerk but was cunning was not easy to deal with. Compared to the other princes, Mo Xuetong felt that Feng Yuran was better at “pretending to be stupid”. He seemed to have been indifferent to the imperial power. Watching those who were fighting at the outrance, he was calm and composed.
He didn’t extend his fangs until both sides had suffered a great loss!
He didn’t just have an ordinary black heart, and his means were ruthless. He was said to be romantic and extremely handsome, but that was just what he showed to people. This person had been pretending to be harmless in front of others, and he was actually so scheming!
With him around, she really did not have to be afraid of Qin Yufeng. Furthermore, Qin Yufeng in this life had confused Mo Xuetong greatly!
In her past life, Qin Yufeng did not take the exam. He had stayed by King Chu, Feng Yuxuan’s side and plotted for him in order to help Feng Yuxuan to take the throne. Then he naturally had a reason not to take the imperial exams. He had plotted against Mo Xuetong behind the scene. In fact, it was a part of helping Feng Yuxuan. He did not become an official for the royal family for Feng Yuxuan’s sake. He could be considered as Feng Yuxuan’s best friend.
In this life, everything seemed to be changing with her rebirth. Qin Yufeng was not close to Feng Yuxuan. He seemed to want to leave Feng Yuxuan and become an official in the royal family. What compelled him to make that decision? Mo Xuetong could not understand at that moment. She felt that it was hard to guess what the man was thinking.
In the past, he had done everything for Feng Yuxuan, and now he was trying his best to distance himself from Feng Yuxuan. It seemed that he just wanted to rely on the imperial examination to become an official. Besides, he treated her very well. And there was the painting Qin Yuxuan mentioned when he came to visit. Qin Yufeng had given the painting to her in the name of Old Madam Qin. Mo Xuetong had thought that Old Madam Qin had found it and given it to her because she had thought she liked the painting before.
She was now Consort Xuan. It was normal for Old Madam Qin gave it to her in order to get closer to her. The Emperor doted on Feng Yuran, so no one dared to offend him.
When Qin Yuxuan came, she only found out that the matter was not like this. It made her suspicious again. Perhaps since she had suffered too much from Qin Yufeng in her past life, Mo Xuetong would always think about Qin Yufeng’s odd behavior carefully. Then she realized that he had given the painting to her in private. What did he want to do? Or what did he know?
When she saw the painting in the Qin Manor, Qin Yufeng was already in the capital, so it was impossible for him to know that she liked that painting. Given Qin Yuxuan’s unrestrained character, he would not have thought about telling Qin Yufeng about such a small thing. Furthermore, she had only glanced at the painting a few more times then and did not dare to ask about Old Madam Qin about it.
Then how did Qin Yufeng know? If he didn’t know, why did he deliberately send the painting to her in the name of Old Madam Qin? What did it mean?
“Don’t think of anyone else!” Feng Yuran said unhappily when he saw that Mo Xuetong was a little distracted as she spoke. He lifted her chin and kissed her on the pink lips as a punishment. He even bit her on purpose. The pain brought Mo Xuetong back to her senses and she nudged him, complaining cutely, “It hurts!”
“That’s what I want. That’ll teach you not to think about anyone else.” Feng Yuran was rather jealous.
A man’s perception had always been sensitive, especially when Feng Yuran had always minded it. He knew that Qin Yufeng treated Mo Xuetong differently. It was said that he had run into Tong’er on the way, and his att.i.tude was really good. At the thought of it, Feng Yuran felt jealous.
“I’m not thinking about anyone else. I’m just wondering if that person will hurt us!” Seeing him lifting his watery eyes proudly and looking at her accusingly, Mo Xuetong hurriedly comforted him.
She said “we” and left Qin Yufeng outside. Feng Yuran’s handsome face showed a little pride. No matter what Qin Yufeng thought, Tong’er was his woman. Of course, he would not let him have the chance to hit on Tong’er.
“Alright, it’s alright. We are here!” Feng Yuran stressed the word “we” and hugged Mo Xuetong tightly again. Then, he rolled over on top of her. Looking into her watery eyes, he stated softly, “Tong’er, I know you’re worried that Qin Yufeng and Eldest Brother might cause us a lot of trouble again. Don’t worry, I’m with you. Do I look like a man who can’t even protect his wife!”
That was true. Since they got married, she was his only woman. Those concubines could not make trouble in front of her at all. The only time when they made trouble was at her birthday banquet. That was because she had communicated with him and did it on purpose. Otherwise, how could those women have the chance to harm her?
