Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter

Chapter 586 - With Different Benefits, It's Impossible to Join Hands



Chapter 586 With Different Benefits, It’s Impossible to Join Hands

After the incident in King Chu’s Manor in the day, Feng Yuran and Mo Xuetong went home without eating anything. As soon as they got home, Feng Yuran went to his Jinwei Pavilion. Mo Xuetong knew that the matter would be very important next, so she didn’t stop him. She just asked someone to prepare Feng Yuran’s favorite food and sent it to the Jinwei Pavilion.

She ate some food in her courtyard and sat on the couch to wait for news while casually picking up a medicine book. However, she could not read it this time and her mind was filled with Feng Yuxuan’s ruthless and sharp sword. People around only saw Feng Yuxuan’s anger and thought that he wielded the sword because he was angered by the incident happening in his inner yard.

The sword stabbed into Yu Sirong’s heart and she opened her mouth but could not say anything. Feng Yuxuan struck just in time. If Yu Sirong said a few more words, someone might guess who Yu Sirong was. She was the daughter of an official who was not banished, but she had become a maidservant of King Chu’s Manor. If the Emperor were to find out, Feng Yuxuan would be implicated as well.

The Emperor had to face all the court officials, and so did Feng Yuxuan.

The sword strike at that crucial moment immediately nipped the disasters in the bud. Even if Yu Feng came out to identify her, he would not admit that the woman, who was similar to Yu Sirong and had lost her reputation, was really his daughter. If he did, he would really offend King Chu. Yu Feng had always been a timeserving man, so he would not do something like that.

Yu Sirong was really dead, in a nasty way. Mo Xuetong would not feel pity for her. In her past life, Yu Sirong disfigured her and then, dealt a blow to her both mentally and physically. It could be said that Mo Xuetong’s self-abasement and timidity were all due to Yu Sirong.

Even though all the tragedies then were caused by Mo Xuemin, without Yu Sirong, she would not have died so tragically in her past life. So she would never be soft-hearted to Yu Sirong.

When Yu Sirong tried to disfigure her, Mo Xuetong took advantage of the opportunity to achieve her end and disfigured Yu Sirong. This time, Yu Sirong did not give up and even escaped from her family temple. In order to frame Mo Xuetong, she became a servant, so Mo Xuetong didn’t spare her. Besides, the man was not an ordinary manservant. The people sent by Shopkeeper Xing clearly knew that the manservant had a sneaky connection with Yu Sirong. This time, he was the one who arranged Mo Yarui’s cousin to enter the inner yard.

Yesterday, he deliberately stopped Hong Ming from entering the manor to buy time. When the person from King Xuan’s Manor came over to send gifts, the manservant intentionally asked him to come into the manor with the person, which made it seem as if King Xuan’s Manor brought the person in. After that, he especially asked an older maidservant to lead Hong Ming to the back door. On the way, it was he who asked someone to call the older maidservant to leave. It could be said that the manservant was Yu Sirong’s accomplice.

Since the two of them worked together to frame her, Mo Xuetong would not show them any mercy. She then avenged herself on both of them. The incense that remained in the room could not only make one unconscious, but it also had the characteristics of aphrodisiacs. People who woke up from a coma would immediately have an instinctive desire. This was also the reason why Yu Sirong and the manservant made out.

The matter had been resolved perfectly. Yu Sirong had died; Ling Rui’er had gone mad, and she had put Feng Yuxuan on the spot. Mo Xuetong certainly knew that it was a piece of cake for Feng Yuxuan to deal with it. However, she wanted to know what he would do to maintain a close relationship with Ding General Manor. Ding General Manor had already married two daughters into his manor, but one of them had been dead and the other had been mad. It would be impossible for them to marry another daughter to him. What would Feng Yuxuan do under such circumstances?

Judging by how decisive and vicious Feng Yuxuan was then, he had already had a plan at that moment. That was why he had killed Yu Sirong. As for Ling Rui’er, he had intentionally caused her to fall onto Yu Sirong’s body over and over again. Blood splattered all over her body. From that angle, if he had withdrawn the sword in a convenient way, the blood would have splattered on the front. But it spattered on Ling Rui’er’s face and body while she was standing by the side. It was unreasonable!

Unless Feng Yuxuan purposely did it!

However why did he do that? Mo Xuetong couldn’t figure it out at the moment. After thinking it over and over again, she still couldn’t get the answer. Instead, she felt sleepy. So she threw the book in her hand aside and fell asleep!

When she was sleeping, there seemed to be someone coming in, and the person tucked her in and then went out.

Mo Xuetong slept from afternoon to evening when the lamps were lit. She looked calm in King Chu’s Manor in the morning, but in fact, it took her a lot of effort to do so. When she relaxed, she felt quite tired, so she slept for several hours. When Feng Yuran came in, the room was already dark. Mo Xuetong was still lying on the bed quietly, her face full of exhaustion.

Feng Yuran went forward dearly and held her gently in his arms. He shook her and asked Mo Lan and others to prepare a bath for her. He reached out to touch her forehead. Fortunately, the temperature was normal. He breathed a sigh of relief with a trace of pity in his eyes. The poison had been in her body all the time, so she was not in good health. No, he had to find the antidote as soon as possible. Otherwise, as what Bai Yihao had said, she would die in a state of powerlessness like Luo Xia.

No matter what, he would not let her fall into such a state. Blood-thirsty coldness burst out from the corners of his eyes, and there was also a hint of sharpness in his eyes.

Mo Xuetong opened her sleepy eyes as he shook her. She could vaguely see that it was Feng Yuran. Her long lashes fluttered and her white face creased into a faint smile. “What’s wrong?” she asked gently. Then, she turned to look outside and realized that it was already dark. She could not help but laugh and say, “Did I sleep too long?”

“No. I was afraid that you would not be able to sleep at night because you slept too much in the afternoon. I got Mo Lan to prepare a bath. Take a bath before having supper today. Then you can be more energetic and eat more later.” Feng Yuran smiled and pulled Mo Xuetong up. Then, he half held her up.

Mo Ye, who had been waiting by the side, hurried over to help Mo Xuetong to the bathroom. Feng Yuran could not help shaking his head and laughing when he saw Mo Xuetong pursing her red lips unhappily. He then went to take a bath as well. He worked for some time in the afternoon and did not have much appetite right now. As such, he might as well get washed up and rest for a while so that he could have more food with Tong’er.

Mo Xuetong felt much better after taking a hot petal bath. She came out wearing a loose dress and saw that Feng Yuran had already come out. He was leaning against the bed and reading a file. There was a chill in his intent expression.

He was wearing a light white long robe. It was as luxurious as pearls and made his skin look as smooth as ivory. The room had been lighted and his long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on his handsome face. When he heard Mo Xuetong entering, he looked up. His eyes were as bright as precious gems and were also pretty charming. His face held an additional elegance and nobility that made one dazzled!

He didn’t wear the purple robe that was extremely swank, and this white robe still gave people an extremely romantic feeling!

Mo Xuetong could not help but sigh in her heart. This was God’s greatest blessing to her rebirth life! This devilishly handsome man was hers! She could not help but smile sweetly. Then she made a soft sound of satisfaction. No matter what happened next, it was a blessing for her to have him at this moment.

Feng Yuran’s face creased into a charming smile when he sensed the smile in Mo Xuetong’s eyes. He put down the file in his hand and reached out to greet her. “Come here. How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?”

“I’m much better. I’m not very tired!” Mo Xuetong nodded and went up to him. She leaned into his embrace initiatively and rested her head on his arm. “What news did you get this afternoon? How was the matter of King Chu’s Manor settled?”

Feng Yuxuan would definitely not be willing to sever ties with Ding General Manor. Thus he would definitely execute some methods. It was up to him!

“Father was furious in the palace and wanted to kill Ling Rui’er. But unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager and the Empress came forward to plead for her, and Eldest Brother and Consort Su knelt down to beg. Eldest Brother remained kneeling outside Father’s palace and didn’t leave until Father agreed to spare Ling Rui’er. I heard that because he knelt for a long time, he needed two eunuchs to help him leave the palace. I did not expect Eldest Brother, who has always practiced martial arts, to be so weak that he couldn’t stand kneeling for hours.”

Mo Xuetong frowned slightly and asked hesitantly, “Did he show it to Ding General Manor on purpose?”

However, would Ding General Manor always support him after he did that? Or would the people of Ding General Manor thank Feng Yuxuan for not only not pursuing the matter but also helping them plead for them? But what would they do after that? Mo Xuetong did not believe that Duke Ding would be so “grateful” and thank Feng Yuxuan for sparing them with the destiny of the entire Ding General Manor.

“That’s part of the reason, but not the most important ones. Before I came, I heard that the two brothers from Ding General Manor went to King Chu’s Manor specially to thank Elder Brother. They have not returned yet. They seem to be having a good chat,” Feng Yuran responded lightly as his eyes landed lazily on the file on the side. His hands wrapped around Mo Xuetong’s waist, as if they had their own mind, and he lowered his head to kiss the side of her white face.

“Having a good chat?” Mo Xuetong lifted her watery eyes and looked at Feng Yuran in shock.

Such a thing had happened in King Chu’s Manor—Ling Rui’er had lost her reputation and went mad. What else did Duke Ding and his brother want to talk to Feng Yuxuan? And they were talking happily? At this time, what made them happy?

“Yes. Even though what happened in his manor is unexpected to Eldest Brother, he must have a way to deal with it. It took Eldest Brother a lot of effort to get in touch with Ding General Manor and he will not break it easily. He might have other intentions in saving Ling Rui’er. It is not entirely to show goodwill to Duke Ding.”

A hint of darkness flashed in the corner of Feng Yuran’s eyes. No matter what Feng Yuxuan’s plan was, he had better not target Tong’er. If he wanted to please Ding General Manor, he did not mind waiting for Feng Yuxuan to give him any conditions. However, it must have nothing to do with Tong’er. Otherwise, whether it was King Chu’s Manor or Ding General Manor, he would not let them go.

He was no longer the little prince who watched his mother die in front of him and had no power to fight back!

There was a flash of blood-red viciousness in his eyes when he thought of that. He could not find out what Feng Yuxuan was going to do, but Ding General Manor had never been as united as an iron plate!

Mo Xuetong sighed softly and turned to lie in Feng Yuran’s embrace. “This time, it can be considered as the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and Consort Su on the same side. I have helped him?” she asked uncertainly. If what she had done helped Feng Yuxuan, she would really be angry!

“Rest assured, Empress Dowager, Empress, and Consort Su have divided interests. They are destined to never stand on the same side. The temporary cooperation does not mean that they will not kill each other in the future.” Feng Yuran knew that she was worried, so he threw the file away and buried his head in Mo Xuetong’s hair. He hugged her tightly and smelled the fragrance of her hair. The smile on his lips became more and more enchanting.

He did not care that Feng Yuxuan was profiting at this moment. He had to be patient. He should not fight for this opportunity. However, it was best that Feng Yuxuan knew what he should not do!
