"Father said that these clothes and cloth are not good. He will send someone to send new ones over." Mo Xuetong said with a gentle and likable smile.

The servant holding the cloths at the door smiled wanly at the door. She could neither leave nor say. She wanted to slip away but was glared at by Mo Huawen coldly and did not dare move. She was secretly upset. She would not have come if Mo Xiu from First Miss's courtyard had not said that First Miss was ending gifts for Third Miss and that Third Miss would definitely be happy and tip her.

How unlucky! She did not expect to make Third Miss upset and even anger Old Sir. The servant hated the little bi*ch Mo Xiu for sending her on this trip. She would definitely not take part in such matters again.

"Are the clothes not good? They look beautiful!" Xu Yan did not know what happened and only felt that it was awkward for her to sit there. Her face was flushed and her heart beat wildly. She did not dare to take another look at Mo Huawen. As such, she stood up and went up to the servant. She reached out for a skirt and took a look at it with a smile.

The skirt was naturally good, but it was a pity that it had been worn by Mo Xuemin. She was certain that Mo Xuemin had not wanted to give her these. With Mo Xuemin's intelligence and in her current situation, she would not try to get herself into trouble with such little matters. The only person who could do anything was Auntie Fang.

Auntie Fang must have felt reluctant for Mo Xuemin to send good clothes and cloth to her and had secretly ordered people to swap them out. She knew that Mo Xuetong would not accept Mo Xuemin's clothes and cloth. After all, Mo Xuetong was the main daughter, why would she really want a concubine's daughter's clothes? It was just a gesture of good will and just for show. Why waste good cloth?

However, she did not expect Mo Xuetong to put on Mo Xuemin's clothes in front of Mo Huawen. Mo Huawen could tell from one look that they were Mo Xuemin's old clothes. How could he not be angry about it? The third daughter that he doted on much was relegated to wearing a concubine's daughter's old clothes. It would be embarrassing if others found out about it. He held a position in the imperial court and the Emperor had hinted that he would have a use for him recently. How could he allow Mo Xuemin to ruin his reputation at a time like this?

Furthermore, he truly doted on Mo Xuetong. He saw that his daughter was slender and fragile, looking very similar to his wife. He was always afraid that she would suffer. How could he be in a good mood when he saw the things that Mo Xuemin sent?

Mo Huawen had liked Auntie Fang a lot and felt that she was capable and sensible. She was also skilled at dealing with household matters and bore him his only son. However, after the incident at the family rites and he saw how Tong'er knelt there in pain, and how Auntie Fang had dared to insist that she did not know anything, Mo Huawen's thoughts of marrying Auntie Fang faded away.

He had to marry a person who would treat Tong'er well!

"Aunt, Tong'er does not like such brightly colored clothes. I even pestered Father to buy me new clothes and you had to see that embarrassing scene." Mo Xuetong would not point out Mo Xuemin's mistake in front of Mo Huawen. There were some things that she could not point out herself and could only let Mo Huawen see for himself. She would naturally only help Mo Xuemin out now and mention her own shortcomings.


Her eyes shone and she stood there, scrunching up the corners of her shirt looking as if she were shy.

Mo Huawen's heart softened even more when he saw how his daughter had not mentioned anything about Min'er and had even said that it was her fault. He looked at Mo Xuetong dotingly. He had not expected Tong'er to be so sensible and gracious. She would rather ruin her own reputation to save his face. His daughter was too sensible!
