Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter Chapter 419 – He Yuxiu Threw Herself On Feng Yuran

Chapter 419 He Yuxiu Threw Herself On Feng Yuran

“Now?” Feng Yuran’s beautiful eyes bent with a teasing look. Mo Xuetong’s present expression made his heart soft, and he thought how lucky he was that he could marry Tong’er.

“Yes, it is now,” Mo Xuetong said petulantly.

“Okay, then I’ll go into the palace now and speak to Consort Zhao clearly.” With a serious look, Feng Yuran held Mo Xuetong’s waist to support her to stand up, as if he was about to leave.

“You’re tiresome!” Seeing his serious look which seemed to tell her that he was going to the palace if she did not stop him, Mo Xuetong grabbed his hand in exasperation with a backhand and gave a hard bite. Since Feng Yuran had known that Mo Xuetong said the words deliberately, he still did it to annoy her.

“Ah, it hurts. My wife, please let me go. And I won’t do it again.” Feng Yuran screamed pitifully and stretched his slender hand in front of her, showing the wound which could not be hurt anymore. Grievance lingered on his beautiful lips. No one could believe that it was the arrogant and imperious King Xuan in others’ words.

Mo Xuetong snorted with laughter uncontrollably, and then her waist was surrounded by Feng Yuran’s big hands, and she fell into his arms again.

The two embraced each other, and were about to talk more when a voice rang outside, “Your Highness, the tea has been checked well.”

Feng Yuran tucked Mo Xuetong’s hair well, let her stand up, and said coldly, “Come in.”

Something was put in the tea as they guessed, which was the drug from the brothel to add fun. The drug mixed in the tea tasted too light, and was hard to smell without carefulness. However, if someone took that drug, he/she must know it after waking up.

Feng Yuran was said to be extremely arrogant, unbridled and headstrong in others’ words. It seemed that he was a totally self-centered person. If he discovered that his princess dared to put such drug in his tea, he would feel that he lost face without doubt, and would think Mo Xuetong was so undisciplined by nature that no one could predict what trouble she would make in the future.

If the matter was not handled well, Mo Xuetong would probably lose her life for the tea. With Feng Yuran’s temper, he would do anything he wanted.

Consort Zhao’s move was rather vicious, trying to take Mo Xuetong’s life first. Even if Feng Yuran let it pass for his face, the estrangement between him and Mo Xuetong had grown. And it was much easier for Consort Zhao to deal with Mo Xuetong. A woman, once losing her husband’s favor, would even not know how she would die in the future as long as she and her husband grew apart, let alone Mo Xuetong married into the royal family.

Boiling frogs in warm water. Mo Xuetong was more convinced that Consort Zhao was hounding her to death step by step…

Tea was given from Consort Zhao to Mo Xuetong, and then sent to Mo Xuetong’s yard. During the time when Feng Yuran was out, Mo Xuetong had enough time to mix the drug in the tea. When Feng Yuran came back, he fell into the trap at the right time. Therefore, no matter how the matter was explained, Mo Xuetong could not detach herself from it.

As for this scandal, Mo Xuetong was unable to justify even though she tried. Ashamed and guilty, the woman living in the inner courtyard took it too hard and would do something terrible, which had nothing to do with Consort Zhao at all. Perhaps, Consort Zhao could take this chance to help He Yufen to be the mistress of the manor. What a kill-two-birds-with-one-stone plot!

However, the plot also exposed some of Consort Zhao’s strength!

A fury covered Feng Yuran’s face, obscure and chilly. He did not care how others framed him, because he had seen various traps since childhood. But this time, he was really angry. He gave a cold snort, held Mo Xuetong and stood up. He slammed the table and said furiously, “I will go to the palace to see this Consort Zhao.”

After speaking, he was about to walk out in fury.

“Where are you going?” Mo Xuetong grabbed his sleeve.

“Go and invite Consort Zhao to have tea.” A chilly smile appeared on Feng Yuran’s enchanting face.

“Don’t go. It’s not time yet!” Mo Xuetong smiled softly, reached out to hold his waist, and gave him a sweet smile. “Just leave it to me. It is the matter in the inner court, and I will handle it. But the minister of the Ministry of Works came so coincidentally with so good reason. You have to help me to keep watch on him and check his background.”

Although Emperor Zongwen believed in Feng Yuran, he would not allow Feng Yuran to break into the harem to embarrass Consort Zhao. Although the tea was mixed with medicinal powder, the tea was always in Mo Xuetong’s hands. No matter how the investigation would be carried out, the accuse would lead to Mo Xuetong surely. Besides, the more such a thing was explained, the more obscure it would be.

As long as Consort Zhao questioned what good was to her if she did put the medicinal powder into the tea, Mo Xuetong would be left without an argument.

Moreover, it was not the right time to confront Consort Zhao with toughness.

“You’ll handle it?” Feng Yuran hesitated, turned around and hugged her. He took an oblique look at her, showing his disbelief.

“Rest assured. If I fail, you can try, okay?” Knowing Feng Yuran was worried about her, Mo Xuetong said in a sweet voice and felt warmth in her heart. The undisguised concern in his eyes made Mo Xuetong curve up her mouth slightly. In her last life, she had pursued the concern but failed, And now, it was right before her. How could she not cherish it this life?

Of course, she knew that if Feng Yuran handled it, it would probably be solved more directly. But she still wanted to help him. The matter about the women in the inner courtyard should be solved within the courtyard. She was willing to do it for him. Besides, she could not set her mind at ease if she could not find out what crime He family had done to Feng Yuran.

After speaking, she pulled Feng Yuran’s sleeve, unwilling to let him go if he did not listen to her. At the sight, Feng Yuran let out a sigh, pinched her nose and said, “Okay, but if there is anything wrong, let me deal with it. Mo Feng and Mo Ye are always at your side to protect you. Just let them to do what you want.”

Would it be a great surprise for those who could see the handsome and fascinating King Xuan would behave like that?

“I know. I know.” Mo Xuetong said peevishly, “You just help me to investigate Lian An then.”

“Rest assured. I’ll send his information to you soon.” Seeing Mo Xuetong’s calm look, Feng Yuran knew she had made up her mind, so he stroked her hair helplessly and continued to say, “Take a rest. I have to go out to deal with something. If I don’t come back at night, just have meal first and don’t wait for me.”

“Well, okay.” Mo Xuetong obediently let him hug her and listened to his words, her heart full of sweetness.

When Feng Yuran came out, Mo Xuetong asked Mo Ye to come in and rewrap the tea. Since Consort Zhao could predict that Mo Xuetong had to suffer the loss, Mo Xuetong did not really know how to deal with Consort Zhao. The tea was in Mo Xuetong’s hands now, and it had nothing to do with the tea’s owner, Consort Zhao.

“Mo Ye, you ask Mo Feng to check the thing about Yu Mingyong to see how his accident happened.” Yu Mingyong was a sophisticated profligate playing among different women. How could he be hooked by a married woman and then caught on the scene? Mo Xuetong thought it must have something to do with He family.

How could it be so coincident? He Yuxiu’s reputation had just been damaged in the palace when Yu Mingyong was caught with rotten morals.

“Yes. I will ask Mo Xuetong to investigate.” Mo Ye hesitated but still said to Mo Xuetong. “When His Highness came out, he happened to see First Miss He. When she paid a salute to His Highness, she pretended to flag and fall down. His Highness avoided, turned around and left without paying any attention to her.”

“He Yufen is here? Even made such a gesture in front of Feng Yuran? And did she not pretend to be a gentle and considerate lady any longer?” Mo Xuetong was surprised. But thinking that Feng Yuran hated that women hurled themselves to him, Mo Xuetong could not help laughing.

In the past, a lady had tried to throw herself into Feng Yuran’s arms, but been kicked into the river by him without mercy, which was rather disgraceful. Since He Yufen just came to the capital, she did not know that Feng Yuran had no compassion for womanhood, so she behaved like that in front of Feng Yuran. However, her behavior not only ruined the fake appearances that she had painstakingly pretended, but also brought shame upon shame to herself.

“Where is she now?” Mo Xuetong asked with a smile.

“She is still crying in the yard now. It’s said she fell and hurt herself.” Mo Ye’s rigorous face also showed a smile. “Mo Lan is looking outside, and she asked me whether My Lady wants to see He Yufen.”

Such an accident happened in King Xuan’s Manor. Anyway, Mo Xuetong, as the mistress of the Manor, should go to see her. Besides, Mo Xuetong still needed to handle the matter concerning Consort Zhao.

“Go to ask her to come here.”

“Yes, I will ask people to inform Mo Lan.” Mo Ye replied and retreated.

Mo Xuetong did the makeup herself. After doing it well, she sat in front of the window, took a book randomly and read.

After a while, Mo Lan’s voice full of concern came from outside.

“First Miss He, be careful at your feet. Don’t fall again. My Lady has sent people to ask the doctor to see for you. Is it okay for you?”

“I’m okay… There is no need to trouble My Lady.” He Yufen said prettily.

“How could it be okay? Just now, you fell so hard that you almost got fainted and bumped into His Highness. His Highness was not in a good mood, so he asked us to check First Miss thoroughly and not let you get hurt.” Mo Lan’s words seemed to care about He Yufen, but just made her become more blushed. He Yufen was too embarrassed to say a word, and just pinched her handkerchief in annoyance.

Just now, He Yufen did not know what had come over herself. When seeing her unparalleled handsome cousin came this way, He Yufen’s heart got hot, and could not help falling down on him subconsciously. And now, He Yufen collected herself, bashful and ashamed, only wishing all the maidservants who had witnessed the scene would die.

It was not all because of what she had done before that made her angry, but the most important thing was that Feng Yuran just turned his back on her and left indifferently. This was the most spiteful thing to He Yufen, which humiliated her abashed. He Yufen made pretensions to beauty and was never ignored by men like that. So this time, she became a bit angry from embarrassment.

He Yufen thought when she became the master of this manor, the first thing she did was to dig out the eyes of the maidservants who were present just now, especially Mo Lan, the cheap girl who dared to take the matter to laugh at her again and again. He Yufen thought she must torture Mo Lan to death at that time.

Sitting inside, Mo Xuetong smiled coldly and just continued to read the book in her hands without standing up.

As the curtain was lifted up, the maidservants surrounded the awkward He Yufen in. Mo Xuetong raised her eyes and found He Yufen did fall heavily. He Yufen’s face covered with a handkerchief was a bit swollen, with her clothes torn and spotted here and there.

“Sister-in-law!” Seeing Mo Xuetong, He Yufen took on a look of grievance, as her eyes were brimmed with tears. Pitiful and feeble, she held the maidservant’s hand and paid a salute to Mo Xuetong tremulously.

“Cousin Fen, what’s wrong? Why did you fall like this? Mo Ye, go and see if the manor doctor has come. It has been a long time. Why has he not come yet? To rush him again.” Mo Xuetong looked at He Yufen carefully and said to Mo Ye with a smile.

“Yes, I go to rush him now.” Mo Ye nodded and retreated.

Mo Lan stepped forward and reported, “My Lady, we happened to see First Miss He when seeing His Highness out of the manor. The moment First Miss He saw His Highness, she hurried to salute. But not knowing where she stumbled, she ran into His Highness directly. Fortunately, His Highness avoided her quickly, otherwise, the consequences were unpleasant to ears…”

Mo Lan seemed to realize that her words made He Yufen rather shameful, so she gave two little coughs and said, “But it wasn’t because First Miss He deliberately fell over to His Highness, but because she was not in good health these days, so she could not control herself at that time.”

These remarks were more embarrassing than saying nothing. He Yufen’s face burned immediately. She bent to salute, but her eyes glared at the ground with her teeth gritted secretly. He Yufen thought that Mo Lan, the mean maidservant, dared to make fun of her in this way, and that one day, when He Yufen herself won the cousin’s favor, she would torture the mean servant to the extreme and left her unable to live or die as she wished.
