Chapter 122 Safflower was Found in the Pillow

That thing happened at Mo Xuetong’s yard, so it had a connection with her. But it’s the Mo Manor’s own matter. Though the Wang Manor had a close relationship with Wang Manor and Qin Manor, it’s still a family issue which shouldn’t be spread. As a result, they had no reason to stay.

“What happened?” By the time Mdm Qin and her brother had left, Mo Huawen asked the maid who was kneeling on the ground. He looked calm with his eyes full of anger.

“Today the lady asked to see first miss. When she arrived at Qingwei Garden, she was a bit tired. Just in time, third miss’s maid came out to invite her to get in and have a rest. She was enthusiastic that the lady had to follow the maid to get there and lay on the bed for a while. She intended to go back to Lihua Garden after taking a rest.”

“I didn’t expect that she would have a stomachache after a little rest. I rushed out a find a doctor right away, but there was no enough time. When I reached Chuihua Gate, I saw old sir followed by a doctor walking out of Old Madam’s yard. So, I rushed out without any other concerns. I had no idea that it would still be too late. Old sir, it was all my fault. Such a thing happened because I persuaded the lady to get in and have a rest. Please forgive me!

Guiyue knelt down on the ground and trembled, saying and kowtowing to beg for forgiveness. Her forehead turned red and swollen instantly because she knocked her head so hard.

A cold smile appeared by Mo Xuetong’s lips when she realized this was a scheme set for her as expected.

Her maid had never invited her to come in and rest. The fact was that Mo Xuemin asked her to let Auntie Fang have a rest. There was no enthusiasm, instead, Auntie Fang herself felt tired and wanted to get a rest. When they talked about it, everything seemed to be her fault. It sounded like she dragged Auntie Fang into the room, so that the loss of the child was her fault.

She didn’t want to explain over these things at the moment, because the more she explained, the more suspicion would be on her. Besides, she believed that the maid who said those words were bought off by Auntie Fang. Therefore, what Auntie Fang needed to do now was to confirm what the maid said, then Mo Xuetong would not get out of this. Now the primary thing to do was to find out the truth about Auntie Fang, because Mo Xuetong wouldn’t do anything that didn’t matter.

“Did all that happen because Auntie Fang rested in my yard?” Mo Xuetong blinked her big clear eyes with innocence as if she didn’t know what had happened till then. She walked through everyone else with her eyes blinking ignorantly.

“Third miss, it’s not what I meant. I was just saying that I shouldn’t let the lady get so third. I was not suspecting third miss.” Guiyue’s complexion changed swiftly and started to explain and cry hurriedly.

However, these words brought her more suspicion and Mo Yufeng looked at Mo Xuetong with anger and suspicion!

These words, which seemed to be defending her, were actually instigation. A maid like her could lie right to her face, and it was clear that no one in the manor treated her like a miss.

Mo Xuetong looked at Guiyue and said, “Now that Auntie Fang was pregnant, you let her hurry around in such a cold winter day. You’re guilty indeed. My father only has one son who was born by Auntie Fang, which was actually a pity. This time, Auntie Fang’s baby in her belly was lost, and none of the maids serving her was innocent.

She turned around to look at Mo Huawen and said sincerely, “Father, though these two maids didn’t take good care of Auntie Fang, considering that they didn’t mean to do it, maybe we should just drive them out of the manor and sell them!”

Sell them? They were just talking about Auntie Fang’s affair. How did they begin to take about this?

Guihua and Guiyue heard this and became speechless and their faces turned pale instantly. Their eyes were fixed on Mo Xuemin and hoped to get help. First miss just told them they would be scolded and punished, which would take no more than half of a month to recover and wouldn’t hurt them much. But third miss said they would be sold.

If they were really sold to those places, how could they live? This idea made their fake trembles turn into real.

“If the fault was on you, of course, you would be sold, because no servant committing mistakes would be able to stay. But if you were only careless, my father was not so cold-hearted.” Observing that Guihua and Guiyue were staring at her, Mo Xuemin was regretful. But she didn’t get flurried and just said lightly.

Mo Xuemin had such a perfect plan to scheme her!

Apparently, the sentence from Mo Xuemin made the two maids relieved.

“First miss, we didn’t mean to hurt Auntie Fang. When she entered Qingwei Garden, though tired, she was in good health and there was nothing wrong with the baby in her belly. However, after a short rest in the third miss’s bed, she felt uncomfortable. It really wasn’t our fault.” Both of the two maids kowtowed constantly.

“She felt uncomfortable after resting in third miss’s room? How could that be possible? Are you saying that there was something in third miss’s room? You must be trying to shirk your responsibilities and push it onto third miss.” Anger registered on Mo Xuemin’s face. She moved two steps ahead, pointed at Guihua and Guiyue and started scolding.

She only used a few words to escape from the circumstance she had just created, which showed that Mo Xuemin was good at controlling minds.

“First miss, it wasn’t us indeed.” Guihua and Guiyue cried while explaining.

“Ah, what is that smell?” Suddenly, the doctor who was feeling the pulse for Auntie Fang lifted his nose and asked.

What’s the smell? Everyone in the room stopped talking, lifted their noses and sniffed. Actually, there was a faint fragrance, which was not strong but refreshing. Everyone’s eyes focused on the incenses in the corner of the room. The few incenses were burning quietly, and would go out soon if they hadn’t been discovered.

“These are the incenses used to calm miss’s spirit.” Mo Lan answered.

“Third miss went out with us then, and there was nobody in the room. Why lighting the incenses?” Mo Xuemin frowned and murmured to herself. Her voice was low, but it was clearly heard by everyone when everybody else just stopped talking.

Mo Huawen who was sitting silenting darkened his eyes.

“Is there something wrong with the incenses?” Mo Yufeng stepped forward, reached the doctor, pulled his hand and dragged him up directly. They got close to the incenses and he asked desperately.

“The ..” The doctor was about to speak but said nothing. He closed his eyes, lifted his nose and sniffed, looking uneasy.

“What on earth was wrong? Tell me directly.” Mo Yufeng was so anxious that he jerked the doctor with his hand, making the doctor widen his eyes and called out in pain.

“Please tell me immediately.”

“It, it has the smell of musk. Though it was very light, there must be musk in it.” The seemed to feel much pain and answered quickly.

Everyone felt shocked at these words. Mo Xuemin was the first one to make a move, “Nonsense, it was obviously the incenses third miss used to calm the nerves and there couldn’t be musk in it. The third miss was in poor health and have been using incenses to calm her nerves, and everyone knows that.”

“I didn’t speak nonsense. It couldn’t be the incenses to calm the nerves, and the main ingredient in it was a husk. A girl who hasn’t been married couldn’t use such incenses to calm the nerves. If surrounded by it for too long, it may even hurt her health.” Hearing someone doubt his expertise, he answered with certainty immediately.

A girl from a rich family who wasn’t married couldn’t have the medicine like musk in hand, which would result in abortion, unless she did it on purpose. In additon, she couldn’t have misused it because Mo Xuetong understood medical skills ...

There was still light fragrance in the air which had been thought to be refreshing. But when knowing there was musk in it, everyone stepped backward. Mo Xueqiong even took out her handkerchief, covered her mouth and nose with it and stepped back to the door to watch them.

“Third miss, you couldn’t have really done it! Mo Xueqiong said, making a big fuss.

That girl was so mean that she was willing to see everyone in the family get into trouble. Therefore, she was ready to see Mo Xuetong trapped in the scheme and get her more trouble!

“Mo Xuetong, what did you do?” Mo Yufeng thought for a minute and then shouted furiously. He glared at Mo Xuetong angrily and walked towards her. Mo Ye saw the situation was not good, so he stepped ahead and blocked Mo Xuetong.

Mo Xuetong’s eyes turned cold and thought it finally came!

This incident finally had led to her. That doctor who had caused such a great disaster observed the scene quietly with cold eyes. Under such a circumstance, the doctor could still sit there calmly and feel the pulse for Auntie Fang, which proved that he couldn’t be an average doctor.

In this case, he needn’t have to act like that and say everything out so clearly!

“No, it couldn’t belong to third miss. She is too kind to do such an evil thing.” Mo Xuemin came to herself from disbelief too, walked up to hold Mo Yufeng’s hand and said desperately. Then she turned around with tears in her eyes and said to Mo Xuetong, “Third miss, you can explain, right? You should explain to dad, and we’ll believe you.”

Giving an explanation? Under this circumstance, it could be called as upon valid evidence. The more she explained, the more they would be suspicious of her. Mo Xuemin played the role of a good sister successfully and tried to help her out in such a case. Others would only see her as a kind and lenient elder sister, and she would be the vicious younger sister in people’s eyes. It would be quite interesting to compare them together.

“What to explain? First miss, Auntie Fang had never been to my room before. Even if I tried to frame her up, how would I know she would come?” Mo Xuetong said coldly with her surprised and innocent expression. Ignorance filled her big clear eyes.

She looked as if she hadn’t understood what had happened.

But that actually made sense!

Everyone in Mo Manor knew that Auntie Fang was on bad terms with third miss. Third miss had never been to Lihua Garden which belonged to Auntie Fang, while Auntie Fang had never been to Qingwei Garden which belonged to third miss, which was known to everyone in the manor. Even though Mo Xuetong wanted to frame Auntie Fang, how could she know Auntie Fang would definitely get into her Qingwei Garden?

“Third miss, our lady didn’t have to rest in your garden at first, but you sent Mo Lan to come by and told the lady to have a rest there... And then, she felt uncomfortable. I don’t know how third miss did it, but our lady was innocent. That baby... That is old sir’s little son... The poor baby!” Guihua cried and continued. Then, she kowtowed in Auntie Fang’s direction and crawled toward her.

However, Guihua’s eyes were fixed on Mo Huawen’s facial expressions. When she talked about the unborn child, there were blue veins all over old sir’s face. It seemed that old sir cared much about the baby in Auntie Fang’s belly, so she mentioned the unborn child even more often. She reached to hold Auntie Fang’s hand while crying, but her hand didn’t catch anything and finally landed on Auntie Fang’s back cushion and pushed away the cushion!

“What’s that?” The keen Mo Xueqiong saw it first, pointed at a strange thing under the cushion and asked.

“Safflower!” The doctor was right by the side, quickly picked up the grass-shaped plant, which was an orange-red flower with a slender stem and yellow stamen. There was a stigma in the middle of it with light fragrance which was neither too strong nor too weak. It couldn’t be recognized if they did not discover it.

“If safflower and musk are used together, it’ll cause instant abortion. No wonder the lady had...” The doctor looked around and said. After finishing his words, he just looked at Mo Xuetong, shook his head and sighed. But he didn’t say anything and continued to feel the pulse for Auntie Fang as if he didn’t want to meddle with others’ family affair.

However, everyone there knew what he meant.
