Mo Xuetong didn't know how she left amid the eldest princess's ardent instructions, nor how she rejected Bai Yihao's gentle farewell with a smile at the gate. She was in a state of trance, and she didn't know how she could After getting on the carriage, I didn't know how to get back to my house, let alone how to enter the yard. I sat on the couch in a daze.
"Miss, miss..." Seeing how distracted she was, Mo Yu reached out anxiously to shake her.
Mo Lan reached out to stop her, only made a cup of tea for Mo Xuetong, and put it into her cold hands. The slight warmth in her palms eased the shock in her heart and allowed her consciousness to regain clarity little by little. He raised his eyes, watched the lights dancing in front of him, looked at the familiar environment around him, and realized that he was back home.
"Miss, why don't you have dinner first and then think about things? You're tired from rushing here and there this afternoon!" Mo Lan didn't know what happened while she was away, but their personal maids never changed their words. , she still calls Mo Xuetong "Miss" when there is no one around.
Mo Lan was guarding the door at that time, and Bai Yihao happened to come in. She wanted to go in and report to Mo Xuetong, but Bai Yihao ordered her to pour tea. This garden was really cold, there was no fireworks or food, and there was not even a cup of hot water. Lan had to go out to look for her. After pouring the tea, she walked to the door and before entering, she heard a quick and low "ah" from the lady inside.
Mo Lan knew very well how calm her young lady was, it must be extremely shocking for even Mo Xuetong to scream.
Quickly lift the curtain and go in!
Just what he saw when he entered made his eyes shrink and he lowered his head in panic.
Two beautiful dream-like men and women hugged each other in front of the window. They were completely handsome and flawless, and they were extremely delicate. It was such a shocking feeling. But the next moment, they saw their master pushing Bai Bai away in panic. Yihao's eyes flashed with horror as if he had seen a ghost, and he took two steps back. If Bai Yihao hadn't reached out to help her, she would have almost fallen.
Mo Lan also reacted at this time and immediately stepped forward to help Mo Xuetong. Then Mo Xuetong didn't say a word and didn't seem to dare to look at Bai Yihao. She pushed his hand away in a panic, as if she had been greatly hurt. Like a shock, her face was as pale as snow, and she hurried to the eldest princess's yard with her.
"Mo Lan, go and call Aunt Ming! Mo Yu, let someone serve the food." Mo Xuetong blinked, her eyes returned to calm, her cold and trembling fingers felt no warmth at the bottom of her sleeves, and she exhaled He said with a cold breath, and she still hasn't recovered yet.
That news was so shocking!
"Yes, I will go find Aunt Ming right now." Mo Lan responded and put the food that Mo Yuji had brought over, while she went outside to find someone.
Mo Xuetong didn't have much appetite, so she took a few mouthfuls before letting her go. At this time, Grandma Ming also entered the yard, and there was He Xia beside her.
Entering the back room, the two of them knelt down together without waiting for Mo Xuetong to ask questions.
"Aunt Ming, do you really know nothing about my marriage?" Mo Xuetong sat there, his eyes dark and incomprehensible, showing no emotion or anger, looking as calm as water.
"Miss, old slave..." Aunt Ming said in embarrassment.
"If Aunt Ming is really in trouble, forget it. Mother is no longer here, and Aunt Ming can't help me at all here. Just go back to Yuncheng. At least if I cause any big trouble in the future, I won't be implicated in it." "Mom, this can be considered as comfort that my mother is under Jiuquan." Mo Xuetong said faintly, there was no trace of emotion in his eyes, only his face was pale without a trace of blood.
These words were extremely cruel and unfeeling, and there was no room for accommodation!
"Miss!" Aunt Ming was horrified, her face suddenly became panicked, she hurriedly took two steps forward, hugged Mo Xuetong's knees, with a sad look on her face, she raised her head and said, "Miss, it's not the old slave who wants to I deliberately concealed it, but it was really because my wife did not allow it. My wife asked the old slave to swear on the young lady’s life that I would not say anything insignificant unless I had to, otherwise I would lose my young lady’s life.”
"What did mother say?" Mo Xuetong bit her lip to suppress the grief in her heart. Blood surged up in her chest. She pinched the handkerchief on one side tightly with her fingers before swallowing the bloody smell. .
"Madam said, if the young lady knows something and asks, the old slave can tell the story. If the young lady doesn't ask for the rest of her life, the old slave will not be able to tell even if she dies. Otherwise, the young lady, the young lady will be sworn... It's not the old slave, the old slave did it on purpose. Conceal it..." Aunt Ming's tears fell straight down. Looking at Mo Xuetong's pale and blood-stained face, she cried even more sadly when she thought of the madam's desolation and determination before she died.
The lady was forced to make a poisonous oath before she died, and it was the young lady who took the oath. She carefully hid some words and dared not say more. If the young lady did not ask, she would let her rot in her stomach for the rest of her life and never mention it. The madam also said that it is not good to tell the young lady this. Since the madam thinks so, she must have her reasons. Moreover, the madam was coughing up blood that day while giving instructions. When she thinks about that scene now, her heart aches. Normally torn.
She had raised the madam with her own hands, just like her daughter. How could she watch the madam struggling and widening her eyes, asking for her permission.
"Mother will not tell you that if I break my oath, I will die without a burial place?" Mo Xuetong heard her incomparably calm voice, speaking without a trace of emotion, as if she were a stranger, talking about other things. Although he was extremely poisonous, he could still smile, but this smile was not only extremely cold but also a bit sad!
"Miss..." Nanny Ming kowtowed violently and knelt down. She felt guilty and knelt down heavily on the ground, as if she didn't know the pain. There were traces of blood and bruises on her forehead for an instant, but she still didn't know the pain and knelt down violently. With…
It seems that only in this way can the pain in my heart be relieved a little.
Looking at the rich blood, Mo Xuetong's mind seemed to be torn apart. All the irresolvable hatred and despair turned into mournful pain in the thick blood, tearing at her whole body and gnawing at her heart. , making her feel like she was being torn apart in an instant!
She suddenly wanted to laugh and die without a burial place! It’s really a place to die without a burial.
She didn't die without a burial place in her previous life! Everything in front of her eyes turned black, vaguely blurring her vision...
"Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you?" Mo Lan realized something was wrong first, and immediately came over to grab her hand. She felt that there was no trace of warmth behind her hands, and they were tightly knitted together. There was blood seeping through her tender white palms. , and she still knitted it tightly as if she didn't know the pain.
"Miss, please let go." Mo Ye came over and held her hand firmly to prevent her from hurting herself, but did not dare to use too much force. Her fingers were stiff and would be broken if she applied force directly.
"What should I do, what should I do?" Mo Yu anxiously turned around, grabbed hold of Nanny Ming's feet and jumped: "Nanny Ming, what have you been hiding from me? Just tell me everything. Look. It seems that you are going to make the lady anxious to death."
Aunt Ming also noticed that Mo Xuetong was in trouble. She looked like she was dumbfounded. She didn't care to wipe the blood on her head. She hurriedly helped Mo Yu stand up and shouted urgently in Mo Xuetong's ear: "Miss, Miss,... Wake up, wake up!"
"Quick, help the young lady to get on the bed."
"I, I'm going to pour water..."
Several people hurriedly helped Mo Xuetong to the couch, patted her back gently, and drank the tea served by Mo Yu. Only then did Mo Xuetong let out a sigh of relief, and her eyes regained consciousness a little. His eyes were cold.
"Miss, if you ask, as long as you can ask, I will definitely tell you. Since the young lady can ask, it doesn't mean that the old slave has violated his oath, and he will not let the young lady take the oath." Mother Ming cried anxiously. , carefully wiped the cold sweat on Mo Xuetong's forehead with a handkerchief, ignoring the blood on his own forehead and sliding down his clothes.
"Mommy, please clean it first, and then tell me about my engagement." Mo Xuetong's eyes were stimulated by the blood, and she slowly regained her clarity, exhaling a suffocating breath from her chest.
"Yes, as long as the young lady can ask, I won't panic if I find out." Aunt Ming really felt sorry for Mo Xuetong. Seeing that she looked better, she immediately took the handkerchief Mo Lan handed over and wiped it with two hands. Get off, he said urgently.
Since Madam passed away, Madam Ming's life has been so difficult. Aunt Ming has always seen it, but there are some things that Madam didn't ask, so she didn't dare to say them. Madam's words still ring in her ears, and she doesn't dare not listen, especially that day Madam pointed at A bronze Buddha made her swear. The ferocious appearance of the Buddha and the blood on the corner of the lady's lips made her feel terrified and panicked when she thought about it.
Now think about it, how could Madam be so cruel, and let herself make such an oath in order to prevent herself from telling her.
"Who is my marriage destined to?" Mo Xuetong stared at Grandma Ming closely, and her body couldn't stop trembling slightly.

"My wife arranged your marriage to a young master from the Yan Kingdom. My wife didn't let the old slave be around at that time. The old slave couldn't hear clearly. I only knew that the man was from the palace of the Yan Kingdom. It seemed that the young master was the one we had arranged for." He had a distinguished status, or was a prince, so my wife later lamented to the old slave, how could everyone stay in the palace of Yan State?" Nanny Ming recalled.
When the woman came in that time, she saw clearly that although she was dressed in ordinary clothes, she knew that she was of noble status at first glance. She only glanced back at her, and then she showed a faint coldness. The feeling that pierced the heart made her suddenly She lowered her head, not daring to look anymore, and then the madam asked her to stay outside and not let anyone in. She only occasionally heard the words "Yan Guo" and "Imperial Palace".
The rest are hard to hear!
After seeing off the lady, she said that she had decided on the young lady's marriage. The luxurious bracelet that flowed like water was the betrothal gift...
"Does father know about this?"
"The master didn't know about this matter. The master took one look at the bracelet and asked the lady to put it away. The wife said to the master that this matter is not accurate. In this way, if you don't come to ask for marriage before the age of fifteen, you will not be treated as such. After getting haircut, the young lady was asked to get married on her own, and the family agreed, and there was also a marriage certificate stating that it was stated in it." Grandma Ming recalled bit by bit.
"Why would my mother agree to such a strange thing?" Mo Xuetong said lightly, his eyes were cold and his fingers were trembling uncontrollably.
This is unreasonable in the extreme.
"The old slave didn't know why the madam agreed to such a disadvantageous condition. I asked the madam later, but the madam only smiled faintly and didn't say anything else to the old slave. Then the madam came a few times and never appeared again. In Yuncheng." Nanny Ming replied.
"When did this happen?" There is no memory in his mind. It should be something he never knew.
"At that time, the lady had just been born and was under one year old. This lady showed up. After a few visits, she made an engagement and then disappeared." The situation at that time was very strange, and Grandma Ming asked her more than once. When it came to what happened that day, Madam's reputation was very strict. Even though she was her nanny, she didn't say a word.
When I was just one year old, I was completely unaware of my father, a distinguished lady. After a few letters, my mother rashly agreed to marry me - a marriage that sounded extremely expensive. With my small life at the time, Why does the noble lady, the daughter of a fifth-rank official, take a fancy to herself...
Speaking of marriage, Mo Xuetong seemed more like a restriction or a threat. If she didn't come to marry before the age of fifteen, she could marry someone else. In her previous life, when she was almost twenty years old, she never heard of it. People have mentioned this matter, but neither father nor mother seems to care about the marriage.
This marriage may not be a real engagement at all, but more like a contract! A contract that restricts my mother! When my mother dies, that contract no longer exists, so I never heard of it in my previous life
"Did mother tell me what I should do if they come to accept the appointment?" Mo Xuetong asked coldly, sitting up on the cushion and looking up at Grandma Ming.
Aunt Ming now only needs Mo Xuetong to ask, and she will tell everything she knows. Anyway, if the young lady knows something, it is not considered a breach of contract and she takes the initiative to bring it up: "Madam said that is impossible. On the one hand, her status is not enough, and she said that the person is noble. Feifan, the young lady is not worthy of her current status, and he also said that if one day they come to marry her, then they really want to marry the young lady, and the young lady will not suffer any loss if she marries her."
Contract, a unilateral contract!
Mo Xuetong felt that her whole body was exhausted, and her chest was so compressed that she couldn't breathe. What was it? Her mother actually used her only daughter to answer the oath. In her last life, she didn't know anything, but she didn't mean to die without a burial. The land was reduced to ashes in the fire. How could a mother's heart be so cruel!
The heartache was so painful that she couldn't breathe, tearing open the wounds she had ignored in the past, and the pain made her shrink involuntarily.
She was unable to ask why anymore! The tingling pain in the palm of her hand told her the truth of this matter, and the most truthful thing was that Bai Yihao, whom she least wanted to have anything to do with, was actually the owner of this contract. When he did not unilaterally terminate the engagement, she, the contracted person, Fang doesn’t have the right to enter into a marriage contract independently.
And this is the right that the mother, whom I respect the most in my heart, promises to others on my behalf... (To be continued)
