Chapter 639 He Yufen’s Letter From Jiangnan

Hu Qianyue was ill. Crown Prince Xieyue was very busy and the engagement was settled. King Ning, Feng Yuzhen was unwilling to come to the manor. Of course, the other princes would not come to the manor again for the sake of their reputation. As for Princess Caifeng, she was really depressed.

After arriving in the Qin Kingdom, she was always surrounded by the crowd, but now she found that there was no one around. How could Princess Caifeng not feel depressed? She originally wanted to go to the backyard to see Consort Xuan, but before her maidservant arrived at the backyard, she was stopped by Feng Yuran’s men.

“Consort Xuan doesn’t feel well. After visiting Miss Hu that day, she caught a cold. So she couldn’t accompany Princess Caifeng now. Please understand.” The person who spoke was very polite, but his attitude was not very good. He looked up at the sky and was disdainful of the maidservant sent by Princess Caifeng, which made the maidservant angry.

She suspected that King Xuan had ordered the man to provoke the bad-tempered Princess Caifeng.

However, this was King Xuan’s Manor, where the maidservant had no choice but to return after being angered. Then, she exaggerated embellishment to the story and told Princess Caifeng. However, she did not expect that Princess Caifeng, who had always been used to being domineering, would only reply weakly after she heard the maidservant’s reply. After that, the princess did not say anything else, and merely leaned against the chair dazedly.

Princess Caifeng was so listless and her maidservants had never seen her like this before. They always felt that it was the tranquility before the storm. As such, they did not dare to say a word and only served her carefully. They was afraid that she would lose her temper and vented her anger on them.

Compared to the depressed Princess Caifeng, Mo Xuetong was in a good mood.

She handed the red invitation card to Feng Yuran and said coyly, “Look, how’s the design of this invitation?”

Feng Yuran put down the files before he picked up the invitation that Mo Xuetong handed him and looked at it. There was a hint of interest in his eyes as there was a vivid painting of a peony on it, with some gold powder on the painting. It looked very luxurious and wealthy.

“Why do you want to get such an invitation?” Feng Yuran lifted his chin and held Mo Xuetong’s hand affectionately. He asked with a smile, “Do you want others to know that you’re actually a rich woman?”

Mo Xuetong had known that he would say that the design was too extravagant and too vulgar. Mo Xuetong’s face flushed and she glared at Feng Yuran viciously. Then, she snatched the invitation away and said, “So your invitations were good? Weren’t they just like mine? There were also peonies on them. How can it look dignified with it?”

There were still a few invitation cards that Feng Yuran designed in the past, and she had seen them. They were so gorgeous that they were not inferior to her design. After all, the peony was the king of flowers, which was the most beautiful and magnificent. Only the designs in the palace could reveal the nobility of the peony.

“Alright, alright. Tong’er’s design is always good.” Feng Yuran could not help smiling as he patted Mo Xuetong’s head.

“Really?” Mo Xuetong slapped Feng Yuran’s hand away. Her watery eyes lit up and she was happy again.

“Of course,” Feng Yuran replied and nodded.

“Well, I’ll go to the Peony Garden to have a look. If we’re really going to hold a feast, it’s appropriate to treat guests there!”

It was not suitable there. It was the right season to admire the lotus flowers in autumn. It was inappropriate to go to the Peony Garden at this time. However, Feng Yuran did not dare to say that. Judging from Mo Xuetong’s excited expression, he knew that she had been bored with staying in her own yard recently and wanted to go out for fresh air.

“Go to the Mo Manor and have a look before you go to the Peony Garden.”

“Okay, I know.” Mo Xuetong got up happily. Thinking for a moment, she stopped. Then, she turned around and walked to Feng Yuran’s couch before squatting down and pointing at the other invitation card placed on the table. “Should I go to attend the lotus appreciation feast held by Ling Mingyan?”

This morning, Mingguo Manor sent an invitation to the lotus appreciation feast. Unexpectedly, Ling Mingyan would invite people to admire lotus flowers, which was very strange.

“It will depend on your illness!” Feng Yuran answered lightly. He had checked the invitation in the morning and knew that it was two days later.

Mo Xuetong rolled her eyes and suddenly smiled, “Uh, I’ll go and take a look then. It’s rare that Ling Mingyan will hold a flower appreciation feast in the capital. And it’s also at this time. I heard that Princess Caifeng also got an invitation card. It’s a little unreasonable if I don’t go and have a look.”

There was a hint of a smile on Feng Yuran’s handsome face. He picked up the files by his hand and began to read as he reminded her, “You can go, but don’t interfere with other’s matter. It’s their private affairs.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll just watch. I won’t interfere even if others want me to do so!” Mo Xuetong put on a proud expression and kept nodding. Her eyes were full of smiles. She certainly wanted to watch such a strange thing in person. It was said that Ling Mingyan had never held a flower appreciation feast or a poem appreciation feast.

Of course, Mo Xuetong did not believe that she would hold a flower appreciation feast at this time without any purpose!

Feng Yuran put down the files in his hand as he watched Mo Xuetong leave. The laziness in his beautiful eyes slowly faded away. There was a hint of bloodthirstiness and sharpness in them. However, when his gaze landed on Mo Xuetong’s slender figure, the viciousness in his eyes reduced bit by bit. He regained some of his gentleness. He didn’t lower his head again until he found that Mo Xuetong’s figure had completely disappeared from his sight.

With a few young and old maidservants, Mo Xuetong went to the front door. The horse carriage had been waiting for her at the door. She got on the carriage and sat on the couch. The smile on her face faded away. Of course, she did not just come out to play. She did not tell Feng Yuran about the news from Jiangnan.

She was afraid that if she stayed any longer in his room, Feng Yuran would notice something.

The matter of the He family had been settled last time. Feng Yuran had left all the matters of the He family to Mo Xuetong. Mo Xuetong had thought that the matter had been resolved. The two brothers of the He family had fallen into He Yuxiu’s hands, so they lived a terrible life now. They wanted to go back to Jiangnan, but they did not have any money.

In Jiangnan, the He family had fallen all of a sudden because of Consort Zhao’s and King Xuan’s Manor’s attitudes. It was said that people in the old manor had fallen apart and the family was done. They had thought that Consort Xian’s incident had already come to an end. Only Mo Xuetong vaguely felt that it was not enough and still asked He Yufen to inquire about information about this matter. A piece of news had finally reached her recently, which shocked Mo Xuetong. She thought that the He family was really inhuman.

“My Lady, that person seems to be…” Mo Yu suddenly cried softly through the snow-white window gauze.

“Who is it?” Mo Ye asked warily. She also leaned against the window. One could not see clearly the inside through the light white window gauze from the outside, but could see what was happening outside from the inside.

Mo Yu had already seen it clearly. She turned around and said to Mo Xuetong, “My Lady, it’s Eldest Young Master and Auntie Fang’s family.”

“And who?” Mo Xuetong frowned. She had heard that Mo Yufeng had been quiet for a while ago. Why was he getting closer to the Yu family now?

“The man who rushed to your courtyard to frame you with an old eunuch and Auntie Fang. He seems to be Auntie Fang’s brother!” Mo Yu thought for a while and said.

“Yu Feng?”

Mo Xuetong thought for a moment, then sat up straight and leaned forward. Mo Ye quickly made way for her. Mo Xuetong really saw Mo Yufeng and Yu Feng talking at the door of a shop. It seemed to be a jade shop. The two of them casually stood outside the shop as if they had met on the road. After a few words, they passed each other and walked ahead.

However, just as they were side by side, Mo Xuetong happened to see that Yu Feng seemed to have said something. Mo Yufeng’s face lit up. He nodded slightly and walked forward.

The more they tried to hide, the more they were exposed. It seemed that there was something between the two of them!

What made Mo Xuetong most suspicious was that the old woman who was waiting by the side of the road for Mo Yufeng was definitely not from the Mo Manor. She was a step away from Mo Yufeng and Mo Xuetong could not tell if she was a servant.

The horse carriage moved forward and passed by Mo Yufeng. Mo Xuetong saw that Mo Yufeng had stopped. He was depressed as he looked at the sign on the carriage.

The old woman took a step forward and walked side by side with Mo Yufeng. Then she lowered her voice and said hurriedly, “Eldest Young Master, I can’t wait too long here. You have to think about it clearly!”

“Why are you in such a hurry? You’ve been waiting for so many days. Can’t you wait a few more days? Sirong is my uncle’s daughter. Will my uncle watch his daughter be wronged to death? Could it be that you, as a servant, bend on avenging your master, but her father doesn’t want not avenge her?”

Mo Yufeng snapped in a bad mood.

His uncle had also said that they could not rush to deal with this matter and had to take action at the right time. However, the old maidservant was a stubborn person. She had not brought out any evidence and only tried to push him. Mo Yufeng could not calm down when he thought of how he could use these things to drag Mo Xuetong down.

As long as Mo Xuetong died, their father would be discomposed. Furthermore, his new master would support him. It would be very easy to kill the woman who was about to give birth to a child and her baby in the manor. Then, he would still be the only son of the Mo Manor. His father would definitely leave the family fortune to him.

In the future, if the new master took that position, he would have endless glory and wealth. Thinking of this, he looked a little prouder. He glanced at the old maidservant, who was speechless after being scolded, and strode forward with satisfaction. The depression on his face during the past few days had been swept away. He was in a good mood now.

The old maidservant sighed and followed him helplessly. There were some things that she could not make the decision. Mdm Fang had not given her any response yet, and instead, she asked her to find Mo Yufeng. Then, the Young Master of the Mo Manor went to look for the people of the Yu family. Even the old maidservant did not know if they could succeed!

Seeing that Mo Yufeng continued walking forward all the way, she hurried to follow him.

When they arrived at the Mo Manor, Mo Xuetong got out of the carriage. Mo Lan and the others were already waiting by the side. The group of people walked to the inner courtyard. Someone had already reported to the master. When Mo Xuetong arrived at Xu Yan’s courtyard, Xu Yan had already stood there with the help of a maidservant and was waiting for her.

After the two greeted each other, they entered the room together. As they sat down, a maidservant served tea!

Mo Xuetong waved her hand, and except for Mo Ye, her other servants all left.

Xu Yan knew that Mo Xuetong wanted to talk to her in private, so she also asked her people out. The maidservant by Mo Xuetong’s side was capable, who could serve them by herself. Although this was the Mo Manor, Mo Xuetong’s status was really noble. In addition, Mo Huawen doted on Mo Xuetong and the girl had even taken charge of the family affair for a while. Therefore, everyone in the Mo Manor believed in Mo Xuetong!
