Chapter 15 Mo Xuemin Got Rejected (2/2)

”That's great. Eldest sister, come to my grandparents' house tomorrow with me. My Uncle will be back in a few days, as will my cousins. It'd be really lively then.” Mo Xuetong's smile grew even sweeter. Her lashes fluttered and she went to hold Mo Xuemin's hands warmly.

”Tomorrow...”Mo Xuemin could not speak.

How would she have the mood to go to the general manor tomorrow with Mo Xuetong? When she thought of the great general that Mo Xuetong kept mentioning, Mo Xuemin started to feel regret. She glanced sideways at Sima Lingyun with a pale face but saw that he was focused on Mo Xuetong. She suddenly felt angry and turned around to see Qin Yufeng's smile. Her heart skipped a beat and the hurried to smile gently.

”Min'er don't go. Study at home. Tong'er's just arrived and would have lots to talk about with her grandmother. It's not that appropriate for you go to too.” Mo Xuemin had not yet thought of a way to get out of the situation but Mo Huawen had already thought of an excuse for her. He turned around and asked her warmly, ”What do you think?”

”I'll listen to father!” Mo Xuemin answered gently, looking very obedient.

This pleased Mo Huawen greatly. On one side, he had his sensible and gentle eldest daughter, and on the other side, was his obedient and adorable third daughter. The two girls had different mothers, but were both sensible. He laughed loudly. Even though his son was a little useless, but at least he had two adorable daughters.

The general atmosphere throughout dinner was great. The children smiled while the concubines chatted softly. The reunion dinner was well executed and ended on a high note.

Mo Lan brought a lantern out to fetch her in when she returned to Qingwei Garden. Mother Xu went up to her and helped her to undo her purple cape. ”Miss, you're not feeling well, why didn't you tell old sir and only come back so late? You must be tired, old sir is really too much. You're not even a real family, why eat a reunion dinner? If Madam was here, she would truly care about you and will not allow you to come back so late.”

She felt like crying as she spoke.

”Nursemaid, don't worry. I”ve recovered long ago. How are they not a real family? It's not that later, furthermore, I can't sleep at this hour. I've just got here and everything is new to me. The bed is unfamiliar to me as well. I can't even sleep if I wanted to. But nursemaid, you and the other servants don't have to wait for me. Everyone's tired after the long journey.” Mo Xuetong held Mother Xu's hands with a smile and they walked towards the bed as she spoke.

Mo Lan helped her to lie down and went to prepare her bath!

”Miss, I dare not sleep if you are not sleeping. I could only sleep when you return. Miss, you've just got here and everything is unfamiliar to you. How could you deal with everything? Your servant cannot handle everything either, but I still have to keep an eye out for you. There were a few second and third ranked maids that came today and some servants. I've looked at them and they looked decent. But I dare not accept all of them. But you still have to be careful using them.” Mother Xu whispered.

Mo Xuetong understood what she was saying. She smiled lightly after a while and said, ”Nursemaid, just accept them. We've just got here and everything is new. It'd be easier on us if there are more maids and servants.”

”But those people were all sent by Auntie Fang,” Mother Xu said anxiously.

”Of course, the servants that she sent us would be good. Nursemaid, you just have to care about using them.” Mo Xuetong smirked. ”It has nothing to do with us if the people Auntie sent gets into trouble, right?”

”Oh, right!” Mother Xu paused and then she smiled and smacked her forehead, saying, ”I wasn't thinking. Shall I get a few more people then? There hasn't been anyone staying in our courtyard for a long time. We have to clean it properly.”

If anything happened to the people Auntie Fang sent over, she would definitely make trouble. Mother Xu heaved a sigh of relief when she saw how capable her mistress was. Her mistress was calm and composed. She had a faint smile on her lips that made others feel as if they could trust her. Since Auntie Fang had ill intentions towards her mistress, then they shall pull her down with them.

”Nursemaid, do what you will.” Mo Xuetong nodded with a smile.

Mo Xuetong felt that the bed was unfamiliar and could not sleep until very late in the night. It was fortunate that there was no matriarch in the Mo family. Even though Auntie Fang was in charge now, she did not have the right to ask the legal daughter to go to her place to greet her in the morning. As such, Mo Xuetong only woke up very late in the day.

”Miss, are you awake?” The satin curtains were lifted and Mo Yu appeared in front of her bed with a smile.

”Oh! Why didn't you wake me up?” Mo Xuetong accepted the cup of tea Mo He gave her and took a sip. She got up lazily. It was rather obnoxious of her to sleep until so late in the day.

”Miss did sleep rather late last night. I wanted to let you sleep in so you'd have the energy to go to the General's manor. That's why I didn't wake you up.” Mo Lan said with a smile. She was outside on night duty last night, so she knew that Mo Xuetong had tossed and turned for a long while before sleeping. She cared for her mistress and did not want to wake her up.

”You mustn't do that in the future. People might think that I'm putting up airs.” Mo Xuetong got up with the help of Mo He. She was the only true mistress in the manor. She was the legal daughter. Many would be watching her and she did not want to be an annoyance right after she got here.
