Chapter 193 Shocked at the Murder Case in the Back Yard (2/2)

Mo Xuetong suddenly remembered what had happened that night and bowed gently, “Thanks for King Xuan's help. If you have any request in the future, I'll never let you down.” He really saved her life. Under that circ.u.mstance, her survival should be owed to his help. She really didn't know what to do with him.

She just knew that on that day, in such a desperate condition, she just felt complete trust when seeing him…

When her brain stopped thinking, she just felt his voice and his body heat which both contained much warmth warming her whole frozen heart. That kind of care was not even given by her mother. At that moment, she really thought she would die and would end up dying with that horrible man.

But he saved her at that moment…

By then, her mind was confused. She just held onto that warmth with her instincts. Now she woke up, but she didn't know how to face him! She couldn't still treat him with caution. But did he treat her with sincerity? She wasn't so confident so as to believe she could defeat so many beauties in his manor.

But if not, why did he do all these! She bit her lips and was indeed confused. Looking at the boy who was handsome like a demon, she just didn't know what to do. In the past, she could use her alienation and coldness to build a wall of caution between them. But now, she was too confused to do anything about it. She could just behave herself and say plain words as a courtesy.

However, Feng Yuran said impolitely, “Anyway, you owed me and can't pay me back in a short time. There will be plenty of time in the future, and you just need to keep that in mind. Now, there is a thing you can do for me.” His spotless face was quite clear in the light and his gestures looked elegant. He wore a purple robe which was inlaid with the figures of dragons. It looked like the formal clothing of a duke. At the sleeves of the robe was the head of a dragon which pointed directly to heaven. The robe made him seem even more n.o.ble and dignified.

Mo Xuetong couldn't follow his mind and said plainly, “What's that?”

“It's no big deal. My father will choose consorts for me in a while. I don't like too many women in my manor, so I only agreed to marry one main consort. Too many women in the manor will cause too much trouble. My manor needs a thorough clean-up.”

Your manor didn't need too many women. If you needed, it might be impossible to go into your gate. Mo Xuetong secretly murmured about that but looked very agreeable to his words. He had done her a great favor and was qualified to say these words in front of her.

He just said it and she just listened to him!

Feng Yuran said lazily with his slim eyes lifted up as if he were asking about what the weather was like today, “I need a person who can be in charge of the back yard in my manor, which made my head ache. Would you please come to help me?”

Was he proposing?

Mo Xuetong opened her mouth and didn't know what to say, “…”

Feng Yuran stood up and lifted his eyebrows. There was a slight smile by his lips, which looked proud and would cause hatred of others, “It's a deal. You're still young, and I'm not too old. I can use you as an excuse to put it off. I don't want everyone in my manor to be others' spy.”

Mo Xuetong couldn't keep quiet anymore, and she had to declare her own att.i.tude, “But, Your Highness…”

Feng Yuran arbitrarily interrupted her words, and changed the subject to why she was here, “Forget about that. What are you going hurriedly to this quiet place for?”

This question reminded Mo Xuetong, she made a sound of “ah” and didn't want to say anything more to him. Now that she counted the time after the incident, something about Mo Xueyan might have happened. She didn't dare to think about that anymore. And then she lifted up her long dress and ran to the staircase.

After only two steps, she was pulled by Feng Yuran with much strength, “Why are you running?”

At the moment, she couldn't think anything more and wanted to get rid of him, “Mo Xueyan was going to the outer yard!” By then, something might have been caused by Mo Xueyan, she had to make up for it.

Mo Xueyan was going to the outer yard!

Her words were not so clear, but Feng Yuran understood the meaning of her words instantly. But his hand still held onto hers and he said with a calm smile, “You can't control it if your Second Sister wants to get married. Now, are you going to recognize a relative?”

It meant she was too late!

These words made Mo Xuetong even more worried, and she tried to wave his hand away but she couldn't and wondered what was in his mind. But she couldn't offend him and only had to turn around, bite her lips, and said aggrievedly, “You should let go of me. My grandma doesn't know Mo Xueyan is also here. If something really happens, who can put an end to it for her?”

Feng Yuran said smilingly, “No matter who will help her, it won't be you who is her younger sister. You haven't got yourself married, but start to worry about your older sister's marriage.” When he saw her face turn dark and unkind, he knew she was really angry and said, “Don't worry. Even if your Second Sister wants to go to outer yard, she can't.”

These words sounded odd. Mo Xuetong stopped for a while, and then her eyes brightened and she cutely looked at Feng Yuran. Although King Xuan's character was hard to guess, he hadn't done anything to let her down. Now that he said the words, the situation might not be as bad as she thought.

Her watery eyes were bright and shiny like a clear spring, “Your Highness, did anything happen at the second door?” She fluttered her long eyelashes and someone's heart trembled with them. His mood immediately turned better and he decided to forgive her.

Feng Yuran calmly walked back and sat down. Then he glimpsed at her and smiled, “What could happen at the second door of Fu General Manor? Besides, the clothes you wore today was not beautiful at all. You should dress more beautifully next time.”

His words were truly annoying and he expected her begging him. However, she really had to beg for his help.

She glanced at him with much nervousness. Then she just put her dignity aside and said obediently, “Okay, it's my fault. I'll get dressed in beautiful purple clothes the next time and make your eyes light up. Now I have to ask you, can you tell me what happened at the second door?”

He liked purple that much. She thought all the other color might be equally ugly in his eyes!

Hearing her answer his question so honestly, Feng Yuran suddenly laughed out, which was not that kind of vague expression of smiling but pure joy!
