Chapter 648 - Different Treatments in the Osmanthus Garden (2/2)

Feng Yuran dared to say it. Moreover, he was fine after he said those words, which showed the Emperor’s att.i.tude!

There was no doubt that Emperor Zongwen doted on his youngest son the most. Even though Feng Yuran threatened the princess who was going to marry into the Qin Kingdom, Emperor Zongwen did not blame him. This was a type of indulgence from the Emperor. He doted on his youngest son for no reason. Under these circ.u.mstances, no one dared to harm Mo Xuetong for they were afraid that they would annoy that bully.

Feng Yuran was really a lawless man! If one really annoyed him, he might do something outrageous!

Even Ling Mingyan was brainless, You Yuecheng could not be so stupid!

“My Lady, where are we going now?” Mo Lan did not think Mo Xuetong was in any danger. And that was why she did not say anything to stop her just now. After hearing Mo Xuetong’s words, she stopped being worried and relief broke across her face.

“Let’s go over there and take a look. Since they are all prepared, we have to go and take a look,” Mo Xuetong replied with a gentle smile, as she pointed to a pavilion under the tree. There were two maidservants there. They hurried over to welcome Mo Xuetong when they saw her. They stood by the side respectfully and curtsied to Mo Xuetong.

Mo Xuetong waved her hand and began to walk in.

“Off you go. Her Lady has us to take care of her. You can do your own things.” Mo Lan was the last in the line. She stopped the two maidservants who were about to follow them in. She reached out her hand and said politely.

“We will stay here to serve Her Lady.” The two maidservants looked at each other and said timidly.

“Her Lady doesn’t need others to serve her. What’s more, there are only you two maidservants in the garden. What if other n.o.ble guests come later? You’d better leave!” Even though Mo Lan was smiling, her tone was not polite. The smile on her lips made one feel as if she was implying something.

“Yes!” The two maidservants did not dare to follow them again after being forced by Mo Lan. They backed away and did not stop until they reached a corner. When they looked up, their eyes met Mo Lan’s cold gaze. The two maidservants were so frightened that they took a few more steps back to avoid her gazes.

They finally stopped at a corner that Mo Lan could not see.

“What should we do?” the short maidservant asked the tall one.

“What can we do? Now that Consort Xuan doesn’t want us to serve her, do you want to rush to her? The maidservant beside her doesn’t seem easy to deal with. She looked as if she is afraid that we will steal her master. Forget it, we’d better not rush up. If we fail, we will offend Consort Xuan, instead of getting credit.”

The tall maidservant frowned and answered after thinking for a while. They were the maidservants who served here today. Their superior told them that no matter who entered the garden, they must go up to serve them respectfully and let the n.o.ble guests feel the sincerity of Mingguo Manor. However, Consort Xuan was obviously unwilling to let them approach her.

“Then we…” It was obvious that the short maidservant was lack of her own will. She put on a bitter look on her face for a while. They had failed to finish what the superior had told them to do, so it would not be easy to deal with the superior later.

The tall maidservant thought for a while and answered, “Let’s stay here first. Anyway, others don’t know if we are serving Consort Xuan nearby. If someone asks later, we will say that we are close to serve her. Anyway, it is impossible for anyone to ask Consort Xuan about these trivial things.”

“Then we just stay here?” The short maidservant looked around. They were in a good position. It was just in the corner, so the people around Consort Xuan couldn’t see them, and there was no one at the door. Even if there was someone coming over, they could clearly see them from where they were standing, but the people outside couldn’t see them clearly. It could be regarded as a perfect place to hide.

“If we don’t stay here, where else can we be?” The tall maidservant sat on the flower rack and said helplessly. They didn’t want to stay here, but the n.o.ble guest didn’t want them to serve her and they didn’t dare to come forward. However, they were afraid that their master would punish them, so they could only hide here and go out to clean the things in the garden after the n.o.ble guest left!

The two maidservants sighed and did not notice that someone else had entered the garden.

The Sixth Princess and the Seventh Princess walked over slowly. When they saw the Osmanthus Garden, they stopped together. The Mingguo Manor’s old maidservant who led the way came forward with a smile and said, “Your Highness, this is where our Young Madam rest, but she is not here now. She has been waiting for you for a long time. Please move on!”

“It’s an excellent place. Your Young Madam really knows how to enjoy it,” the Sixth Princess commented with a gentle smile and stopped.

“It is indeed a good place. If it weren’t for His Excellency’s wife waiting ahead, I would like to stay and enjoy the scenery.” The Seventh Princess followed the old maidservant to move on and then turned around with a smile. Since the hostess was waiting ahead, they couldn’t stay any longer.

“Seventh Sister, why don’t you go to see His Excellency’s wife first? I want to stay here to enjoy the scenery. It’s rare to see such beautiful osmanthus flowers. It’s a pity if I don’t see them.” The Sixth Princess looked at the osmanthus flowers in the garden in a gentle manner and showed a reluctant look on her face.

Wherever the wind pa.s.sed, the burst of fragrance of the osmanthus flowers was extremely alluring.
