Chapter 203 - It was All Settled and Mo Huawen Got Remarried

Chapter 203 It was All Settled and Mo Huawen Got Remarried

A servant-looking man was dragged out by the nanny and instantly knelt down before Mo Huawen. He trembled, “Master, I was helping in the feast. Then a few gentlemen wanted to go back and let me ask you. So I came in to call you. When I arrived, I saw no guard here and thought the servant was being lazy. Then I looked inside, but I found no Master but only a bowl of water on the table. I had been too busy to drink, so I drank it up. When I finished, I felt a little sleepy and leaned on the bedside. Somehow the girl walked in.”

“I really don’t know how it…” The servant said hurriedly and kept kowtowing, “Please forgive me. I have both elders and youngsters to feed. And my wife is ill.”

Lan Xinru woke up after the slip. She suddenly stood up and threw herself at the servant with disheveled hair. She kicked and beat the servant like a shrew.

How she hated him! She had planned everything and drugged the drink that was going to help Master sober up. She lured the servant away and took the chance to go in. There was a man by the bedside, and she just dragged him without seeing his face. It was dark in the room, and she just got in from the outside and couldn’t see clearly. She figured it wouldn’t be anyone else except for Mo Huawen.

They had just finished, and she ignored the pain in her body. She just thought that when her aunt came in, all the people would see what had happened between her and Mo Huawen. Then he would have to marry her. However, to her surprise, she didn’t realize it wasn’t Mo Huawen until all the people rushed in.

It made her hatred more intense that it was only a servant, which was unbearable for her.

Lan Xinru beat and scolded the servant like a crazy woman. Her face was contorted and she beat the servant so hard that he rolled on the ground and begged for forgiveness.

“It’s enough!” Figuring out the whole thing, Mo Huawen coldly said and waved his hand. Then two nannies came up and held Lan Xinru down. They turned around and asked Old Madam, “Old Madam, are you going to deal with her or…”

By then, Old Madam was disgraced and humiliated and felt great shame. She didn’t dare to deal with anything. She stood up and said, “You can deal with it!” Then she had no more words and took all the people back to the inner yard. The minute she got back to the inner yard, she had Lan Xinru sent out with a small carriage, telling her not to come again.

After such a mess, not only was Lan Xinru disgraced, she was even more disgraced. She just felt everyone knew what she had done and couldn’t calm herself down. After a few words, she said she didn’t feel comfortable. Everyone there saw it, and most of them realized the twists and turns and naturally left her alone.

They just thought the houlseold of Mo Manor was really a mess.

A younger sister framing her elder sister, and a mother framing her son! It was so ridiculous! The whole manor was in a mess without a main wife. Some of them who got on well with Mo Huawen advised Mo Huawen to remarry soon in case the concubines and daughters caused trouble.

Mo Huawen sent out the guests out with a dark face. Then he went into the study and even pushed down the desk.

How he hated it!

He had known that Old Madam wanted him to marry Lan Xinru. Since the last time Lan Xinru seduced him and failed, he had declared that he wanted to marry another virtuous woman. Old Madam didn’t say anything then and told him to decide for himself. Later, although Lan Xinru came into the manor sometimes, he just avoided meeting her and thought it would save Old Madam the trouble.

He didn’t expect such a thing to happen.

If it hadn’t been for the hangover cure drink Tong’er placed outside the study, and if he hadn’t been cautious with the drink inside and taken a walk instead of sleeping, he would be the one framed.

Just a moment ago, Tong’er was framed in the back yard, which made him upset. Then the trouble came to himself. Mo Huawen hated it so much. If he was framed today, his reputation would be completely ruined. Before his daughter’s trouble was solved, he, the father, had already done something so lustful.

Then how would others look at Mo Manor and the master of Mo Manor? And how could Tong’er and the other girls held up her heads in front of others?

Old Madam wouldn’t stop until the manor got destroyed!

Since she entered, he had been obedient and polite to Old Madam and so were all the children. However, though they were obedient, Old Madam was never nice to the children and always said only Mo Xueyan was the only good kid both in front of others and in private. Even Tong’er was scolded all the time just because Tong’er’s mother wasn’t chosen by her.

Seated in front of the desk, it took Mo Huawen quite a while to calm himself. He took up the pen and wrote quickly. Soon a letter was finished and sealed. Then he said to the servant, “Take it to the Second Sir.”

The servant was quite afraid now and kept shivering since he saw the other servant was dragged out. Such a horrible thing happened when he went out and delivered a letter. It was so shocking. Then he heard Mo Huawen’s voice. Humbly, he just took it over and ran out quickly.

In Lihua Garden.

Auntie Fang sat on the bed with a pale face. She was so thin and looked lifeless. The sunshine from the window shone on her pale face and she didn’t have her old beauty.

“I’ll do as Min’er told me to. I’m locked in the yard now and can only depend on Min’er.” She stood up while talking and walked to the back of the room. From under the bed, she took out bags of delicate stuff and gave it to Mo Xiu who knelt down before her outside, “Give these to First Miss and tell her that these are all good stuff. It can only be put little by little in the water. Then the person will get ill with no treatment, and die slowly. It has been used to…”

She couldn’t hide the evilness in her eyes. That woman had told her before and it actually had happened. No one would imagine it was that woman who gave her the poison!

She didn’t finish her words, but Mo Xiu knew what she was going to say. The last main wife had been ill for so many years before she died. All the doctors sent for said it was because of her weak health but couldn’t tell the real reason. So the real reason was the stuff in Auntie Fang’s hand. She couldn’t help shivering.

Auntie Fang said viciously, “You go and tell First Miss to be quick if she wants to take action now that she is no better than me. No one can recognize this kind of drug. Besides, I have a few people in the bitch’s yard and their families are in my hand. So they can’t go against my orders. You should tell First Miss their names so that she can make use of them whatever she wants.”

She didn’t want to stay here any longer. There was no one else except for herself in the yard. Her old confidants were nowhere to see, being either dead or sold. Mo Huawen locked her here and only a nanny came here every day to deliver food. A while back, she got some nice dishes after Mo Xuemin’s secret order. But recently, Mo Xuemin was in trouble too. Then there was no one caring about her and even the food she got was cold and stiff leftovers.

All these were unbearable for Auntie Fang who had been living luxuriously. After the miscarriage, she didn’t recover well and wasn’t in good condition. Being treated like this, her health even worsened.

Upon hearing that Mo Xuemin had a solution, she instantly took out the drug she had hidden for over a decade. The drug had no scent or color. Luo Xia had died of it. Now she let the little bitch take it, and the little bitch would die within five years, maybe as soon as three years.

She should have poisoned her the moment she arrived here and got her ill in bed all the time. Then she wouldn’t be able to fight against her. She had been too kind. If she had taken action earlier, she would not suffer.

Mo Xiu dare not say anything more, “Yes.” Then she carefully put the paper parcel into her sleeve and went out.

The incident happened in the yard had been heard by Mo Xuemin already.

She was embroidering in the room. These days, she had been really calm as if it wasn’t she who had the accident. She just copied the classics in the morning, then she read and embroidered in the afternoon. She was so quiet the whole day. All the nannies and maids in the yard thought First Miss was framed and tried to defend her during their conversations.

First Miss had been gentle all the time. It was Sima Lingyun’s fault that such a thing had happened. First Miss struggled and hurt him, which could be called chaste. They shouldn’t put all the blame onto First Miss. First Miss was such a nice girl and couldn’t be like that!

Of course, some other people disagreed. Some servants mentioned the things First Miss had done and implied that she was not as chaste as everyone thought and must have a connection with Sima Lingyun. Or else she shouldn’t appear in Sima Lingyun’s carriage.

There were already so many disputes in the manor, not to mention the rumors outside of the manor.

Mo Xuemin’s incident hadn’t been completely solved, then the Old Madam in Mo Manor’s mind got muddled. Old Madam set up her own son to marry her niece and ended up being a joke. Later on, the Third Miss was framed by the Fourth Miss in Mo Manor and almost ruined her fame. It was heard by the Old Madam in Fu General Manor. She was so worried that she asked her grandson to prepare for the carriage and invited Mo Xuetong over.

To her surprise, Mo Huawen also came with her!

After Mo Huawen entered the manor, he first talked to Luo Bin for a while, then he went to the Old Madam’s residence. Hearing that Mo Huawen was here to propose to Xu Yan, Old Madam hesitated for a while, then she sighed and agreed.

Mo Huawen was not too old and had to get remarried. Now that Mo Manor was in such a mess, there was actually a need of a main wife. Tong’er liked Xu Yan and had a good relationship with her. It would be nice if Xu Yan could marry Mo Huawen and take care of Tong’er, in case that someone framed Tong’er every once in a while in Mo Huawen’s harem.

Tong’er was now thirteen and would turn fourteen soon. Even if Xu Yan had a child in the future, Tong’er wouldn’t stay in Mo Manor for too long, so the two wouldn’t have any conflict between them.

When they discussed it all through, Mo Huawen went back to the manor to prepare for the betrothal gifts. Mo Xuetong stayed at Fu General Manor that night.

While Mo Huawen’s second marriage had finally been settled, Duke Zhenguo’s Manor didn’t even have a good New Year.

Since Sima Lingyun got caught before the New Year, he hadn’t been released and was still in the Ministry of Justice. They just said that it was happy and busy days in the New Year and the officials had no time to deal with it. They refused all sent by the duchess, which made her ill and resentful.

If it was not for the little bitch Mo Xuemin, her Yun’er wouldn’t be like this. Mo Xuemin was called as a chaste woman, while her son’s reputation was ruined.

Nanny Tian who had served the duchess all the time suggested. “Madam, don’t be worried. Besides, you should have a look at First Miss Mo. Since the accident between First Miss Mo and our First Sir has happened, our First Sir will be fine if First Miss Mo change her words.”

The duchess heavily put the medicine bowl onto the desk and said resentfully, “How will the little bitch be willing to change her words?”

Nanny Tian took over the medicine bowl smilingly, “Madam, First Miss Mo doesn’t have much choice to decide her words. If she wants to hold on to her fame of being chaste, she will need someone to prove for her.”

The duchess excitedly sat up, “Do you have an idea?” She coughed fiercely because she sat up too quickly.

Nanny Tian hurriedly came over, patting her back and saying, “Madam, don’t worry. I don’t know whether it will work or not. But you can try it first…”

The duchess finally calmed down. She coldly bit her teeth and said, “It will work. Why not? Only if it can save my Yun’er, I will do anything.”
