The death of a maid in the backyard of Duke Fuguo's mansion did not cause any waves. If Mo Xuetong hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought it was nothing. However, it was the matter of a pot of strange flowers in Duke Fuguo's mansion. That's it. It spread like wildfire, people outside talked about it in a lively way, and it spread like wildfire.
It only took one day for the message to spread so quickly. It was really not an ordinary speed.
For tomorrow's banquet, the old lady's illness, which has never been bad, is finally cured.
Mo Xuetong went to pay her respects in the morning. As soon as she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she heard a burst of laughter and laughter inside, mixed with Mo Xueyan's voice from time to time. It was obvious that Mo Xueyan was the granddaughter who liked the old lady the most.
"Old lady, the third young lady is here to say hello." The maid went in to report.
The old lady was talking happily to Mo Xueyan, and there was Lan Xinru beside her. Hearing this, her face turned cold and she said, "Let her in."
This is the Mo Mansion. Even if she doesn't want to see Mo Xuetong anymore, she can't hurt Mo Huawen's face.
When the maid heard the words, she came out and asked Mo Xuetong to come in. The mother-in-law opened the curtain.
After giving the old lady a gift, she gave in.
"What happened yesterday? When your second sister first went to Fu Guogong's mansion, not only was she not even introduced, but she was also not allowed to move around casually. In the end, she disappeared without a trace and left your second sister alone in the garden. Here, is this what a sister should do?" Seeing Mo Xuetong, the old lady's expression immediately dropped and she said coldly.
As expected, Mo Xueyan put eye drops on herself as soon as she came back. Not to mention the fact that she was caught by the fifth princess when she wanted to go out, she was just grabbing her own sore feet.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he smiled softly: "It was true that I was negligent yesterday and let Mo Yu lead the second sister. Unexpectedly, the second sister moved to the second door and bumped into the princess, which almost caused a big accident. Later, I was worried that the princess would blame her. , I went to my grandmother to find a solution, so I neglected my second sister, which is really my fault."
After saying that, he turned around and smiled at Mo Xueyan and said, "Second sister, please forgive me, but the truth is, I don't have much knowledge. I looked at the east and turned away from the west."
He collided with the princess and almost got into trouble!
Before Mo Xueyan could react over there, the old lady's expression changed. Mo Xueyan didn't mention anything about it when she came back yesterday. If she clashed with the princess, she would be whipped or beheaded. It's no small matter.
So before Mo Xueyan could respond to Mo Xuetong, the old lady turned to her and asked her anxiously: "Did you really bump into the princess yesterday?"
Seeing the old lady being so angry, Mo Xueyan was startled. How could she dare to hide it? She hurriedly said aggrievedly: "I met the princess yesterday, but the princess didn't say anything to let me go."
"The fifth princess didn't say anything, but she punished the second lady by kneeling for a long time, and then angrily went to find the old lady. The servant was so frightened that she immediately went to the young lady and told the matter before the fifth princess went to the old lady. The old lady managed to calm down the fifth princess's anger." Mo Yu said from the side.
The fifth princess is the daughter of the queen. Today, the most noble princess in the Holy Land actually angrily goes to the old lady to accuse her. This matter is not trivial. The old lady glared at Mo Xueyan with hatred and turned her head. His expression changed, and he asked Mo Xuetong kindly: "Didn't the fifth princess say anything when she left?"
Mo Xuetong really didn't know whether the fifth princess said anything when she left, but she heard that the fifth princess looked unkind at that time, so she said sincerely: "I heard that the fifth princess was very unhappy, so for this reason, she came to Fu Guogong Mansion He returned to the palace not long after."
Of course, she also heard that the fifth princess had sent someone to look for her in private. Fortunately, she was with Luo Mingzhu and other powerful daughters at that time. After the fifth princess heard about it, she stopped going and left the house to return home. palace.
Seeing that the old lady was about to get angry again, Lan Xinru came up to smooth things over and said with a smile: "Auntie, Yan'er bumped into the fifth princess without paying attention. The fifth princess is so rich that she wouldn't notice such small things. It's over. "
Mo Xuetong also advised: "Grandma, there is no need to be angry. As long as the second sister never causes such a thing in the future, the fifth princess will not be able to remember what happened yesterday. It will be forgotten after a long time."
Her words reminded Mo Xueyan, and the old lady immediately thought that she had planned to let Mo Xueyan go to the second gate tomorrow to check things out. Now that she thought about it, she couldn't go out. What happened to the fifth princess happened yesterday. If it happened tomorrow, If something happens at the second gate, it will cause a storm in the whole city. If it falls into the ears of the fifth princess, it might cause some trouble.
She made up her mind at this time, straightened her face immediately, and said to Mo Xueyan: "There will be guests in the house tomorrow. You should behave in the courtyard. Don't go anywhere, and don't cause any trouble to me."
"Grandma..." Mo Xueyan was unhappy and said coquettishly, glaring at Mo Xuetong fiercely. Just now the old lady had agreed to her that she could go out secretly for a look. Why did Mo Xuetong suddenly change after she came and said a few words? Got the hexagram.
"That's it." The old lady turned cold on the spot.
"Aunt..." Mo Xueyan turned to Lan Xinru, pulled her sleeves and said coquettishly, her aunt was here just now. Grandma said it well, how could she change her mind
Lan Xinru looked at the old lady's serious face in embarrassment, took Mo Xueyan's hand, and comforted her in a low voice: "Yan'er, listen to grandma and don't make grandma angry."
How dare Lan Xinru go against the old lady's wishes? She was able to come in today only because of the old lady. Since she was kicked out by Mo Huawen, she has been living in a hotel and paid for three meals a day. Her goal in coming to Beijing this time was Mo Huawen. All the remaining money in her hand was used to support the old lady. After a few days, she was a little stretched. At this time, what else could she do instead of fawning over the old lady.
She also expects the old lady to make the decision for her tomorrow!
"You are all bullying me!" Seeing that no one stood on her side, Mo Xueyan shook Lan Xinru's hand away and suddenly rushed out crying.
"Grandma, I'm going to see the second sister." Mo Xuetong's eyes seemed to flash with panic, as if she could not imagine that such a thing would happen, and said anxiously.
Seeing her panic, the old lady's face softened a little, and she stopped with a cold snort: "Let her think clearly and don't offend anyone she shouldn't offend. She won't even know how she died. "Although she dotes on this granddaughter, she also knows how powerful the relationship is. They can't afford to offend any of the officials in the capital. Mo Xueyan is just a merchant family, let alone offending the princess.
"No, it's okay. I'll try to persuade her later. Miss Third is really kind-hearted. You were hurt by what happened yesterday. Today you came here specifically to say that you have been wronged again." Lan Xinru He came over, held Mo Xuetong's hand affectionately, and praised her vigorously, but his words were very harsh.
Did you come here specifically to say that she came here to pick a thorn in Mo Xueyan
The old lady's eyes became sharp again.
"Miss Lan, I didn't come here specifically to say it, it's because the fifth princess left a message yesterday, saying that she wanted to tell the elders in the family that the princess's orders cannot be violated. I think the old lady is the oldest and most respected in our family, so... Unexpectedly, I would make the second sister angry. Grandma, why don't I go with the second sister to accompany you?" Mo Xuetong said, her eyes were red, and her bright water eyes were covered with a layer of mist, as if she had done something wrong, " Grandma, I won’t dare to talk nonsense again.”

The amusement in Lan Xinru's eyes was replaced by annoyance. Mo Xuetong was right. Not everyone can disobey the princess's order. She just openly and secretly accused Mo Xuetong of deliberately coming to sue Mo Xueyan. This is contrary to the princess's wishes, and if the news is spread, it will arouse the princess's anger.
The old lady also shuddered, that was indeed forbidden. Seeing Mo Xuetong's aggrieved look, she glared at Lan Xinru, and with a rare calmness, she comforted Mo Xuetong with a few words before sending her away.
After coming out of the old lady's yard, Mo Xuetong returned to her own garden.
Back in the yard, Mo Ye came in from the outside and whispered a few words in her ear. Mo Xuetong nodded and asked Mo Ye to go down and rest.
"Miss, Miss Lan is staying at the old lady's place today and won't go out?" Mo Yu lit it with an incense stick and asked puzzledly, "They are all people who have been kicked out of the house. The old lady is not doing this to beat the master." Face!
"She won't live here today. No matter what the old lady does, she won't be able to embarrass her father so much. The best she can do is let her come tomorrow. My father has always been filial. If the old lady proposes this, she will definitely not object." Standing in front of the table, he picked up the celadon tea set, took a few sips, and said calmly.
"It's already like this, what else does Miss Lan want? A girl who was kicked out by a man like this still has the shame of getting in!" Mo Yu curled her lips. What happened in the study that day, there are many things in the house. Everyone is telling the story, and you will know it if you ask around a little bit.
That night, Lan Xinru dared to give the master that kind of medicine. When the master found out, the whole house knew about it. If it were a good girl, she wouldn't be ashamed to die. Of course, if she was a good girl, she wouldn't. To be able to do this kind of thing, sincerely thinking of making a meal out of raw rice, is like those tricks from a brothel, which is really shameless.
"I heard that Miss Lan is very economical these days. If she continues to live here, she will have no money. The old lady can take care of her for only a few days, so what's the use of her doing this?" Mo Lan also asked rarely road.
Mo Xuetong smiled slightly: "Since Miss Lan has taken a liking to my father, how could she let him go so easily? There will be some guests at home tomorrow. If something happens again, even if my father wants to distance himself, he will be suppressed by his elders. , Besides, if the old lady takes action again, Miss Lan’s matter will be 100% sure.”
"Ah, what should I do?" Mo Yu asked anxiously. She knew that Mo Xuetong was interested in Miss Xu Yan from the Fu Guogong Palace. Now that even the master has agreed, she can't let anything happen halfway.
"It's okay, my father's job as an official was not for nothing." Mo Xuetong smiled softly, turned around and picked up the two taels of tea that Lan Xinru gave her just now. It is said that this is another specialty of "hometown", and it is her " "Picked and baked by my own hands": "Go and get this to make tea for your father. Just tell me that Miss Lan just gave it to me. I drink it well. It's specially given to my father."
She spoke softly, and her watery eyes were as gentle as ripples. If this happened to her too often, her father would naturally have countermeasures...
There is more than one person in the backyard looking forward to tomorrow... (To be continued)
