Chapter 192 The Root of Trouble was a Strange Flower with Three Different Colors (1/2)
Luo Mingzhu stopped and asked, and she confusedly looked at Mo Xuetong whose face suddenly turned pale, “Cousin Tong, What's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable?”
Mo Xuetong even hurriedly dragged Luo Mingzhu ahead and said, “No, nothing. I just felt a little dizzy. I'll be fine in a while. Second Cousin, let's go up there to check on the flower.”
She wondered how it appeared now and if they had prepared for the scheme for four whole years…
Three different colors of blooms grew on the same bud and showed no sign of fear with their bright colors in this cold winter day. The three different colors, which were bright red, light pink and light purple were blended together, and made it unbelievably beautiful. It was such an amazing thing for such a beautiful flower to survive in such cold weather and lived so well!
However, Mo Xuetong only felt the coldness straight from her head to her feet, which made her feel so cold. And it's like there was a big hole in her heart and it swallowed away all her warmth. Her hands trembled hard and she thought that maybe it was now when the flower was sent into Fu General Manor. And she wondered who sent it into Fu General Manor.
“Cousin Tong, Cousin Tong…”
By her ears came Luo Mingzhu's worried voice.
“Second Cousin, where is this flower from?” She heard herself asking with difficulty. Then she dragged Luo Mingzhu out of the crowd.
Seeing Mo Xuetong's pale face which looked almost transparent, Luo Mingzhu held her hand to sit down, “Big Brother said one of his friends paid much for it and brought it here from a faraway place. Then he heard there would be a feast in our manor, so he sent it to my big brother. It hasn't been sent to the manor until this morning. Cousin Tong, is there anything wrong?” A maid had already prepared a cup of fresh tea and placed it by her hand.
After taking a lip, Mo Xuetong recovered some of her consciousness. She couldn't help fixing her eyes on the chatty crowd. There were many misses surrounding the flower and marveled at its beauty on such a cold winter day.
She calmed herself a bit and then said to Luo Mingzhu smilingly, “Second Cousin, I'm fine. I just felt a little dizzy. Maybe it's because I have to come today and didn't get enough sleep last night.”
Seeing her face get much better, Luo Mingzhu felt relieved. She poked Mo Xuetong's forehead a bit with her hand, and said cutely, “You shouldn't be too excited when going back to grandma's now that you are in poor health. Your home is so close to mine and you can come at any time you want. Thus you don't have to be so excited like that!”
“It's because Second Cousin never comes to see me, so I miss grandma and you!” Mo Xuetong pouted to show her unwillingness and held Luo Mingzhu's hand. She came closer to Luo Mingzhu, pointing at the direction and asking quietly, “Who is that friend of First Cousin who has such a great capability to find a strange flower like that? Is he Sir Bai?”
Bai Yihao had the power to get a strange flower like that, because it was said that the place the flower was from was related to the Yan Kingdom. It was in her last life that she looked up all the anecdote books to find out the answer for Fu General. In her last life, she never knew how the flower got in Fu General Manor and she had never seen it.
If Fu General Manor hadn't fallen because of this flower, she couldn't imagine such a flower leading to the falling of Fu General Manor and the biggest tragedy in her last life.
Luo Mingzhu answered smilingly without even realizing it, and she thought Mo Xuetong was just being curious, “It was not Sir Bai, but a friend my brother just met. I heard they got along quite well, so he sent him such a strange flower, which could add to the atmosphere to the feast in the manor.”
It's lucky that it's not done by Bai Yihao!
Mo Xuetong felt a little relieved, because in her last life, the impression Bai Yihao left on her had been too scary and he seemed to be undefeatable.
But what kind of friendship made them become so close in such a short time and made the friend offer such a flower?
The flower was called Jade Owl. This kind of flower didn't grow on earth but in jade. The more exquisite the jade was, the more beautiful the flower would grow to be. Jade was warm in winter and cold in summer, which provided it with the conditions for the flower to grow. Therefore, its growth was not affected by the season but by the quality of jade.
In her last life, by the chance when Sima Lingyun went to Fu General Manor, he found the proof of her first uncle colluding with the enemies in first uncle's study. Hence, Fu General Manor fell. Mo Xuetong didn't know what the proof was, but she accidentally heard Sima Lingyun's drunk talk and knew it was found in a pot of flower.
A strange pot of flower which grew from jade!
The flower had three different colors of blooms which all grew on the same stem as a whole.
When Sima Lingyun was drunk, he had proudly said that there was a secret in the flower and he was lucky to have cracked it and exposed it to the Emperor. Then the Emperor cleared up the entire Fu General Manor and he had the chance to climb to an upper position.
In the last life, she had only heard about this pot of flower from Sima Lingyun, but she had never seen it. Until now, she suddenly realized that it was a conspiracy.
Mo Xuetong coquettishly smiled as if she were envious, “First Cousin's friend is so rich, which can be seen from the value of the jades in the pot. Second Cousin, First Cousin has such a great friend who can be called a friend until death. This friend even sent him stuff so precious.”
Luo Mingzhu was not stupid. When she heard the words, her complexion changed a bit!
Luo Mingzhu suddenly stood up. She realized the seriousness of the matter and said hurriedly, “Cousin Tong, there is something wrong with the flower… No, you wait here. I'll go to ask my big brother.” Today's feast was very important and it was said that several princes and princesses would come too. If something really happened in the manor, Fu General Manor would be in serious trouble.
