Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter (PART 1)

Chapter 152

Chapter 152 The Collision in the Palace

After Mo Huawen left Mo Xuetong, he went to the outside courtyard. He went to the study and got the servants to block the back doors of the inside courtyard that was beside his study. Mo Huawen would usually enter the back courtyard from this door when he was tired after reading. Now that this door was blocked, he could only enter and exit from the main doors. Those doors were not too far from his study but was still a certain distance from it. He did not believe that an unmarried young lady would have the guts to leave from that door.

Mo Huawen could not accept the Old Madam's silly ideas. Lan Xinru was not like the daughter of a good family at all. She was like a woman of the night and she wanted to enter his Mo Manor. Was she shameless!

In Qingwei Garden.

Mo Xuetong had just entered her courtyard when Auntie Mo arrived with her servants. She entered the room and smiled at Mo Xuetong, who was seated on the heated brick bed. She said, "Third Miss, you are back. I have already sent servants over several times and thought that it'd be fine if I sent the items along. But there were a few sets of clothing that Old Sir picked specifically for you, and I don't know if you'd like them. If you don't, I'll get the servants to pick new ones for you. We mustn't let you suffer for you are the only main daughter in this manor!"

Auntie Mo was in her 20s and was a beautiful woman. She was taller than the average woman and one could tell that she was smart from the way she spoke. She had spoken well of Mo Huawen and praised Mo Xuetong in just a few words. She was a decisive person and one could tell that she was someone who could do things well.

Auntie Mo joined the manor late and Mo Xuetong's father had taken her as a concubine when her mother was ill. Mo Xuetong was angry at her father then, so when Auntie Mo saw here from afar, she would turn around and leave. Even though Mo Xuetong had changed on her return to the capital and to the Mo Manor, she rarely interacted with Auntie Mo. They would speak occasionally but were not as close as they seemed to be right now.

She had not noticed in the past, but it seemed like Auntie Mo was not a person who could be dealt with easily. From her words, she had raised Mo Xuetong up high and the others were stuck down low. If what she said spread, people would say that Mo Xuetong looked down on the other concubines' children. They would say that she had made her Auntie serve her because she was the main daughter.

"Auntie Mo, you are too kind. I have troubled you and made you come all the way here. How can the clothes Father chose not be good? You think too much. Mo Ye, get Auntie Mo some tea. Take the Big Robe Tea that Grandmother gave me last time. I heard that such good quality tea is rare even at Grandmother's." Mo Xuetong turned around and smiled lightly at Mo Feng, who was making tea for her.

Mo Lan had already helped Auntie Mo sit down. Her serving maid placed a heated stove in her hands.

Mo Yu looked at the neat and tidy rows of eight maids standing behind Auntie Mo curiously. The eight maids all bore clothes in their hands. Sunlight shone on several sets of clothing and they glimmered in the light. It was evident that the material of these clothes was extremely precious. The last two maids were not holding clothes but two exquisitely carved jewelry box. The two maids opened the boxes at Auntie Mo's instruction.

The items in the box were brilliant, colorful, and dazzling. They were all exquisite jewelry. Mo Xuetong had seen her mother's dowry in her past life, and even though the items here were not as good as her mother's treasures, they were also precious. Furthermore, each and every single item was new. It was obvious that her father had them made not long ago. She glanced at Auntie Mo out of the corner of her eye, and indeed, there was greed in Auntie Mo's eyes that she could not hide. A faint smile appeared on Mo Xuetong's lips.
