Chapter 584 Foil the Plot, One Dead and One Mad

“Stop!” A cold shout came from behind the crowd. Ling Rui’er, who had almost lost her wits, immediately regained her sense. When she heard the voice at this point, Ling Rui’er’s face paled and she fell to the ground. The maidservant standing beside her quickly held her up.

Everyone turned around in shock. Feng Yuxuan and Feng Yuran had arrived graciously at the entrance of the yard. Most importantly, everyone saw a person they would never have imagined: Mo Yarui.

Wasn’t she having a private meeting with another man on the bed? Everyone’s eyes swept past Mo Yarui’s face and then landed at the man and woman, who were wrapped tightly in the quilt on the bed. If she wasn’t Mo Yarui, then they would be able to see clearly that Consort Chu had framed Consort Xuan.

Ling Rui’er insisted that the woman on the bed was Mo Yarui, and used all kinds of coincidences to prove that it was a trap set by Consort Xuan. According to her, all kinds of things had something to do with Consort Xuan. But now it seemed that Consort Xuan and Second Consort Mo were probably plotted against by Consort Chu! She disgraced King Chu by doing such a thing at his banquet.

Feng Yuran’s charming purple clothes flashed past the crowd and immediately appeared by Mo Xuetong’s side. A look of hatred and anger appeared on his handsome face. He glared at Ling Rui’er who was shivering by the side, with dark and bloodthirsty look in his eyes. Ling Rui’er was so frightened that she immediately lowered her head. Feng Yuran turned around and softly asked Mo Xuetong, “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine!” Mo Xuetong beamed at him. She reached out to hold his outstretched hand and squeezed it gently, indicating for him to rest assured.

“My Lady, I could not find you at the rockery in the inner yard, so I went to look for His Highness. It just so happened that His Highness came, so I followed along.” Mo Ye, who was standing behind Feng Yuran, came forward and curtsied.

It turned out that Consort Xuan’s missing maidservant did not go to do something shameful, but to see King Xuan. Everyone suddenly realized what was going on. But what about Mo Yarui?

“Second Consort Mo, why, why are you here?” A madam could not help but cover her mouth and exclaimed. She looked at Mo Yarui as if she had seen a ghost.

Mo Yarui looked at Feng Yuxuan, and the man nodded with a gloomy face as his eyes swept past Mo Xuetong’s delicate face and fell on Ling Rui’er’s pale face with a trace of fierceness, ruthlessness, and disgust in his eyes. He had wanted to keep this chess piece, but he didn’t expect her to be so stupid to do some unpresentable fights again and again. Now she herself was also involved in it.

Everyone had intended to play down the matter happening in the palace. The man was dead and it could not be considered that there was no evidence. However, Ling Rui’er’s crazily framed Mo Xuetong. The two of them belonged to the two manors and there was no need for this to happen unless Ling Rui’er hated Mo Xuetong because of what happened in the palace.

That was to say, it proved from the other side that Ling Rui’er had indeed been seen by another man.

As Consort Chu, the daughter-in-law of the royal family, how could she have done something so disgraceful!

If something like this were to happen to a woman of an ordinary family, the woman could only die in the end, much less a woman of the royal family. Feng Yuxuan looked at Ling Rui’er like she was a dead person. The love that he had pretended in the past had long become cold when he knew that Ling Rui’er only had one path: death.

“I asked the maidservant to invite Consort Xuan over just now. Consort Xuan said that she was resting there and would not come, and if I really needed her, I could go to the rockery. In case I don’t believe it, Consort Xuan specially sent her personal maidservant there. I didn’t expect that I would take the wrong path when I came over, so I went back while looking for her. I happened to meet His Highness, so we came here together.”

Mo Yarui explained to these madams in a gentle voice.

So it really was not Consort Xuan who had called Second Consort Mo over!

Then who was that woman on the bed?

Feng Yuran moved outside with Mo Xuetong half in his arms and covered her eyes with his hand. Then, he nodded to the guards standing outside the door. A guard came up and pulled the wrapped quilt away. Two naked figures rolled down from the bed and landed in front of it.

“It’s Sister Si Rong!” a maidservant suddenly screamed.

“It’s really Sister Si Rong!” The others were also shocked. They looked at the woman who rolled a few times on the ground in surprise. Her hair was loose and failed to cover her face. Beneath her long black hair was a pale and vicious face. Even though she looked pathetic, Ling Rui’er’s maidservants could still see clearly that she was Ling Rui’er’s personal maidservant, Si Rong, who had come to the manor with Ling Rui’er from Ding General Manor when Ling Rui’er got married.

Ling Rui’er could not help screaming when she also saw Si Rong’s face clearly!

How could Ling Rui’er not be shocked? Si Rong had been hiding in the back yard and did not come out. Why would she appear here? This trap was naturally set up by her and Si Rong. It had been generally planned according to Si Rong’s idea. Their goal was to ruin Mo Xuetong’s reputation and ensure that she would be doomed eternally. She had not expected that it would be Si Rong who was on the bed.

Ling Rui’er had met this maidservant on her way. Si Rong claimed then that she had a grudge with Mo Manor, so she brought her into Ding General Manor. She was preparing to get married then and had allowed her to go to King Chu’s Manor with her. After that, she had tried to attack Mo Xuetong several times according to this maidservant’s plans.

Since the two of them shared the same goal, their relationship grew better and better. It could be said that Si Rong was Ling Rui’er’s most caring maidservant. Even Mo Yarui had to avoid offending her when she met her in the manor. As for the matters of the back yard, Si Rong could at least make half the decision. How could she do such a thing with a man here at King Chu’s banquet?

“Your Highness, I was wronged. Si Rong was also wronged. Someone must be trying to frame us. Your Highness, you have to help us!” Ling Rui’er had come back to her sense and she rushed up to hug Feng Yuxuan.

Feng Yuxuan took a few steps back and coldly looked at her who staggered and almost fell. “Ling Rui’er, enough. This drama can end now! Since you got the servants to testify for you, it has been proved, let alone the fact that no one in the manor will frame you. I used to think that you are a gentle and gracious woman. But now… you have been lured to become so vicious. Ling Rui’er, you have let me down.”

“Your Highness, I… didn’t…” Ling Rui’er almost could not believe her ears as she looked at Feng Yuxuan’s disappointed and cold eyes.

It was not like that. Mo Xuetong was supposed to be the one to blame. Feng Yuran should be disgusted with Mo Xuetong. Mo Yarui and Mo Xuetong were supposed to have ruined their reputation together. But why did it become like this? Mo Xuetong had clearly said “Mo” after she came into the room. If she had not said that at that time, she would not have been so sure that it was Mo Yarui.

How could this happen? She had planned for so long and considered all possibilities with Si Rong. But in the end, she fell into the trap. How could she be willing to accept it? If she admitted her guilt, it meant that she admitted that her body had been seen in the palace. Although Ling Rui’er was arrogant, she also knew that if a woman forfeited her integrity, she had to die.

No, it was not like this. It couldn’t be like this!

Before she could say anything, another person who hated and was jealous of Mo Xuetong jumped out and pointed at Mo Xuetong. “Your Highness, it’s not Her Lady’s fault. It’s all Consort Xuan’s fault. It’s Consort Xuan who sent someone to bring me here. It’s her who framed me and Her Lady.”

Si Rong gritted her teeth and knelt on the ground. She hugged herself tightly, but she lifted her head and glared at Mo Xuetong with red eyes. She, too, was knocked unconscious by what had happened, which was impossible to happen.

She had been resting in Ling Rui’er’s yard earlier and had planned to sneak out at the right time to see what happened to Mo Xuetong. She wanted to see Mo Xuetong die a tragic death in person; she wanted to see Mo Xuetong lose all reputation and fall from the high position of Consort Xuan.

When she was thinking about it and felt that it was about time, she suddenly felt dizzy and fainted. When she woke up again, she found herself hugging a man intimately. Before she could even react, Ling Rui’er and the others rushed in. She was so frightened that she hid herself subconsciously…

“This maidservant looks familiar. She looks like the young lady of some family?” Mo Xuetong poked her head out of Feng Yuran’s embrace and looked at Si Rong carefully. There was a flash of thought in her eyes, as if she could not recall who she was.

Feng Yuxuan’s expression changed and his gaze swept Yu Sirong’s face. Then his eyes darkened.

“The young lady of some family?” The woman kneeling on the ground was so agitated by this statement that she lost her minds.

“Mo Xuetong, you slut, don’t you recognize me? Hahaha, you didn’t believe that my face wasn’t ruined, did you? Bitch, you’re really lucky. Consort Chu and I hurt you so badly, but you didn’t die. You…” Yu Sirong jumped up and rushed to Mo Xuetong fiercely.

She was not Ling Rui’er and felt that there was no way out for her. She went straight to Mo Xuetong on the condition that she would hurt her even before she died.

Feng Yuran dodged her and backed away with Mo Xuetong in his arms, avoiding Yu Sirong’s crazy blow, Feng Yuxuan suddenly pulled out the sword hanging from the guard’s waist and stabbed it at Yu Sirong’s chest as a hint of sharpness flashed through his eyes. He also remembered that this woman was the First Miss of the Yu family!

They had turned an official’s family member into a servant, and her father was still an official. Even if he was a prince, he would still be reprimanded.

The splashing blood burst out and sprayed on Ling Rui’er’s head and face. Looking at Si Rong’s distorted face in front of her, Ling Rui’er screamed wildly in shock and fell backward heavily. The young and older maidservants on both sides could not hold her and she hit the door. Blood immediately fell from Ling Rui’er’s white forehead.

“Blood… blood…” she screamed. However, she ignored the blood on her head and stared at Yu Sirong’s corpse beside her feet. She screamed in horror and climbed up in a hurry, but she stepped on Yu Sirong’s blood and slipped. She fell down heavily again after having just stood up.

This time, she fell in the direction of Yu Sirong’s body. She fell heavily on the body, shaking it a little. Then, one of Yu Sirong’s hands happened to move to her face. Ling Rui’er shrieked in horror as she crawled backward on the ground, staring at Yu Sirong’s body.

A stench suddenly wafted from Ling Rui’er’s body. It turned out that she was so frightened that she was incontinent.

“My Lady, My Lady, please get up. Let me help you up.” A brave older maidservant tried to hold Ling Rui’er up, but Ling Rui’er slapped her hands away and stared at Yu Sirong with wide eyes. She cried and screamed, “Blood, blood, so much blood! Someone died! Someone is gonna die!”

She screamed wildly at first before she suddenly muttered to herself. Then, she rushed toward the crowd. The crowd at the door involuntarily retreated when they saw how bloodied, dirty and smelly she was. Ling Rui’er ran out quickly and yelled, “Blood, blood, so much blood! Someone’s dead! Somebody, someone’s dead here!” …

Under Feng Yuxuan’s hint, a few young and older maidservants went out after her.
