Chapter 373 Second Consort Yan Causes Trouble at King Ning’s Wedding Banquet

The wedding ceremony was happening. The handsome and noble groom brought the happy bride into the bridal chamber.

He removed her bridal veil. The bride, who was dressed in splendid clothing, was beautiful. She sat on the bed shyly, her face flaming red. She glanced at the handsome Feng Yuzhen and then was so shy she did not look up again.

This was also the first time that Mo Xuetong had truly faced Feng Yuzhen.

The princes of the Feng family were all rather handsome. Other than Feng Yuran, who was extremely handsome and charming like the devil himself, Feng Yuxuan was gentle and elegant. Feng Yulei was handsome and sophisticated while Feng Yuzhen was handsome and pure. He was a pure gentleman. His eyes were real and truthful and he seemed dependable. His actions were friendly and solid and it gave others a good impression.

Mo Xuetong stood by the side holding on to Mo Ye as she watched Feng Yuzhen carefully.

It was hard to believe that a person like him would be cruel and vicious and would do anything to achieve his goals. He looked at his bride lovingly, his eyes were filled with love and joy. His burning gaze made the bride even shier. However, while she was shy, her face was filled with joy as well. Any woman would be filled with delight at being able to make her groom satisfied at his first glance at her!

“The bride is really beautiful. They are a match made in heaven.”

“The bride is beautiful. They will definitely be happy together in the future.”

“The groom truly loves his bride. Earlier, he even carried the bride when he jumped over the stove. He truly knows how to dote on others.” The married ladies watching the newlyweds teased as they spoke blessings over the two.

King Ning was now a favored candidate and there were many people who wanted to butter up to him, especially in this sort of situation. They only had to say a few words of blessings and they could make King Ning happy. Who would be stingy with that? As such, the room was filled with people and joyous laughter. Occasionally, they would hear a few words of praising Feng Yuzhen and Wang Yueyue.

It seemed as if everything were romantic and perfect in front of them. However, no one could have imagined that right now, and in the future, this was a tragedy!

Mo Xuetong watched silently for a while before leaving. There was a small cold smile on her lips. Wang Xiuxiu had wanted that position for a long while but she did not imagine that it would end up in the hands of her sister, Wang Yueyue. Mo Xuetong wondered if Wang Xiuxiu could sit through the wedding banquet peacefully. She wondered how the new King Ning consort had managed to snatch her elder sister’s man from her. Was everything really okay?

Mo Xuetong looked at her surroundings and only saw You Yue’e who was glaring at her coldly. She did not even see Ling Fengyan. Of course, she did not see Wang Xiuxiu as well. She heard that King Yan had specially brought her to the banquet. She would definitely be brought to a banquet like this. If it was not King Yan’s intentions, the girl would have come for something she wanted. Or perhaps, the two of them both had something they wanted to get out of this banquet.

“My Lady!” There were not many people outside the courtyard as they had all gone into the house to send their congratulations. Mo Ye pushed Mo Xuetong gently and gestured for her to look to the left.

Feng Yuran was worried about Mo Xuetong. As such, Mo Xuetong usually brought Mo Ye with her when she left the manor. A maidservant who knew martial arts was really very useful. Furthermore, she was a maidservant whom Mo Xuetong had brought with her into the manor from before she got married. As such, no one thought that the maid would know martial arts. It would be a deciding factor during critical moments.

Mo Xuetong looked where Mo Ye secretly gestured. She saw a flash of a pink dress behind a large tree.

A first consort would wear bright red clothing while concubines would not be able to wear the same color. Even the second consorts of the royal family were considered concubines. They would have a title but would only be able to wear pink clothing.

“King Ning seems really happy. He can’t stop smiling.” Two madams approached slowly as they chatted softly.

“That’s right. I heard that King Ning used to like the second miss of the Wang family. He went to their manor many times just to see her. I also heard that the two had already sealed the deal. It’s great now, they’ve gotten what they wanted and it ended happily.” The other madam said with a smile.

“Oh, there’s such a thing?” The madam in front was interested.

“That’s right. People used to say that King Ning liked the first miss of the Wang family. However, they were wrong. This second miss is the one King Ning likes. However, he could not ask to marry her since the first miss had not yet wedded. Now that the first miss was married, he immediately married the second miss. The wedding was so hurried that it is as if he were afraid that the girl would run away. One can see how much he likes the second miss.”

“So there’s such a thing. It’s great now. The two lovers are finally together and it’s a happy ending. The wait was worth it.”

“That’s right. Look at how King Ning looks at his bride. He loves and likes her so much. In the future, Consort Ning is going to control King Ning.”

The two madams chatted and laughed as they neared Mo Xuetong. Even though they did not know her, judging by her elegant beauty and the seven-feathered phoenix hairpiece in her hair, they knew that she was not an ordinary madam. They smiled and curtsied to her while Mo Xuetong also smiled and returned the curtsy. Then, she brought Mo Ye with her as they walked slowly towards the outside. King Ning’s marriage had brought him more power. There would definitely be others who would become jealous!

There were some things she just had to watch!

She did not even need to cause trouble; someone would already start it!

What kind of trouble would a jealous and vicious woman cause? It was really unpredictable!

Behind the tree, Wang Xiuxiu bit and tore the handkerchief in her hands. There were no tears in her eyes and only cold viciousness!

She wore a pink dress and was thinner than before. It had been a few months and she was already showing. Her stomach was raised, slightly making her seem skeletal. Her face, which had been beautiful, now looked vicious because she had lost weight. She seemed sinister. She was only 16 but seemed to be in her 20s.

How could she bear it? Hatred ate at her heart like flames of ice. Feng Yuzhen was going to marry her as his first consort. However, even though the Empress Dowager had refused that, she had allowed her to have the child before they get rid of the first consort and made her the first consort. The first consort was just going to help Feng Yuzhen politically. As long as they gave her a title, everything would belong to Wang Xiuxiu in the end.

Even if Feng Yuzhen were to ascend the throne in the future, she would be the empress!

This was what Feng Yuzhen and the Empress Dowager promised her!

Who would have thought that it would be her younger sister who would enjoy that? How could Wang Xiuxiu not be filled with hatred and envy and viciousness!

She naturally had a different idea at a time like this. She thought that Feng Yuzhen and Wang Xiuxiu had already been together long ago. Wang Yueyue, that slut, was a really good actress. In the past, when Feng Yuzhen visited their manor, Wang Xiuxiu wanted to bring Wang Yueyue out to see him but Wang Yueyue had refused. Wang Yueyue thought that Wang Xiuxiu really wanted Wang Yueyue to meet Feng Yuzhen in private. Wang Xiuxiu did not think that it was intentional on Wang Yueyue’s part!

That little slut had intentionally spread rumors about Wang Xiuxiu meeting Feng Yuzhen in private and had tricked her. She behaved like the daughter of a noble family before Wang Xiuxiu but was lying in the arms of Feng Yuzhen behind Wang Xiuxiu’s back. She said that Wang Xiuxiu would be able to keep her child by her side after she had it and Wang Yueyue would acknowledge the child as her own. That slut behaved differently in front of other people. She would definitely harm her child!

When she thought of that, Wang Xiuxiu wanted so badly to rush in and tear Wang Yueyue’s face apart. She wanted to tear off her disguise and let others see Wang Yueyue’s heart. Wang Yueyue talked about how close and in love the two of them were. They were all lies!

A maid in green walked out from the doors. She looked around and scampered up to the tree. She whispered to Wang Xiuxiu, “Miss, I went in and saw. King Ning and Second Miss were really happy. The two of them looked…”

“Did you show the thing to King Ning?” Wang Xiuxiu interrupted the maid loudly and furiously.

When the maid saw how angry Wang Xiuxiu was, she shuddered and said anxiously, “There were too many people inside and I could not get up there in front. Second Miss’ Ziyue and Zifang also squeezed me away intentionally and would not allow me to go up.”

First Miss was no longer the same since she entered King Yan’s Manor. She became vicious and cruel. She would hit and scold the maids around her when she was the slightest bit upset. The maid did not dare to say anything else.

“Slut, slut, they are all sluts!” Wang Xiuxiu yelled angrily and she could not help shaking. She clenched her hand on the tree viciously. The sharp splinters of the bark pierced through her skin. However, that did not alleviate her anger. If she did not have a hint of rationality left and covered her lips with her hand, her screams would have filled the courtyard.

The maidservant was so afraid she did not dare to look up when she saw the cruel and vicious expression on Wang Xiuxiu’s face. She knelt and shook violently.

“Go there. When you are outside, you have to find King Ning and hand the thing to him and make him come to find me in the Jade Garden on the left.” This was not the first time that Wang Xiuxiu had been to King Ning’s Manor and she was very familiar with the structure of it.

The Jade Garden was considered the main courtyard of King Ning’s Manor. It was where King Ning rested. In the past, when Wang Xiuxiu visited in secret, the two of them would meet secretly in Jade Garden. She was quite familiar with it. However, Wang Xiuxiu was unfamiliar with the Hua Garden where Wang Yueyue was staying in now.

Hua Garden was the courtyard of the first wife. Jade Garden was far away and was on the left, behind King Ning’s Manor. The back door was not far away from it and it was convenient to enter and leave it. Feng Yuzhen had found it for Wang Xiuxiu especially and it naturally became the reason for Wang Xiuxiu’s viciousness. When Wang Xiuxiu visited, she went to Jade Garden. However, when Wang Yueyue married King Ning, he allowed her to stay in Hua Garden.

All of this was a plot that had been set in place a long time ago!

Sluts. She would not let them off easily.

“But, if Second Miss’ maids keep stopping me…” The maidservant said fearfully. She was born in the Wang Manor and knew the maidservants that served Second Miss. She knew that they were all very smart and it would not be easy to get close to them. Furthermore, First Miss was not in power any longer. Second Miss was the one whom everyone buttered up to now.

“Rest assured. When you go out there, those maids would not have time to come out yet. You just have to give it to King Ning while there are a lot of people around.” Wang Xiuxiu said sinisterly. She could see the scene in the bridal chambers flashing before her eyes. A hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes. Slut, she would not let that woman off so easily no matter what would happen. Didn’t she want to raise Wang Xiuxiu’s child?!

Alright, she would make Wang Yueyue raise her child wholeheartedly!

Perhaps the viciousness in Wang Xiuxiu’s eyes was too obvious. The maid did not dare to say anything else. She hid the object under her sleeve well and turned to run out.

Wang Xiuxiu did not leave. Instead, she stood there silently and listened to the laughter coming from inside. The laughter and voices were all words of praise for the newlyweds. They tore through her heart like blades. Blood flowed from her palms and dripped onto the ground. The wood shards drove deeper into her hand but she seemed unable to feel the pain.

Or perhaps one could say that even though it hurt, it did not hurt as much as her heart did!

She had always hoped that Feng Yuzhen would come to take her away. That was why she stayed in the corner of the manor even though she had entered King Yan’s Manor. She was not Mo Xueqiong. She only hoped that no one would notice her. She was not like that stupid woman, Mo Xueqiong, who thought that she was King Yan’s favorite. She even walked around the manor proudly. How could she not be beaten almost to death and thrown into the woodshed?

King Yan was under house arrest. He would definitely find someone to vent his anger on. Wang Xiuxiu was not Mo Xueqiong. She already knew that King Yan had done something to make the Emperor angry. That was why he had betrothed Wang Xiuxiu and Mo Xueqiong to King Yan. Then, they were sent to the King’s Manor on a small bridal sedan. The second consorts had already entered the manor before the first consort. No matter what had happened, this was an embarrassment to King Yan!

It was bad for King Yan’s reputation!

She did not know why Mo Xueqiong entered the manor. However, she wondered if she herself had been sent here because she had a secret relationship with King Ning and that had roused the Emperor’s ire. That might have been why he had passed that decree so suddenly and bestowed her to King Yan. There were many things going on. She had participated in this in the past, but she did not understand it well. Fortunately, she believed that Feng Yuzhen would definitely save her which was why she had put up with everything.

Even when she heard that Feng Yuzhen was getting married, she had come to the manor happily. However, she could no longer bear it. She released the hand that clutched onto the tree bark tightly. She reached into her shirt and found a sachet. She pinched it. It was soft. Her lips curled upwards into a sinister smile. That slut Wang Yueyue had dared to seduce Feng Yuzhen long ago and even stopped Wang Xiuxiu’s servants from finding Feng Yuzhen. She must not blame her older sister for being so vicious…
