Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter

Chapter 125 Auntie Fang Paid for Her Own Evil Doings and Lost Her Status

“No, old sir, it’s not me. I didn’t know... I didn’t know it was safflower. Bitches, it was you. You framed me, right? Old sir, you have to do something for our child. They did it, and I knew nothing about it. I really didn’t know anything about it.”

Hearing imperial doctor Lu’s words and looking at Mo Huawen’s cold angry face, Auntie Fang’s face turned pale and couldn’t sit there anymore. She knew that Mo Huawen doubted her. If the truth was revealed, Mo Huawen wouldn’t forgive her. By then, she regretted having heard Mo Xuemin’s words and used her baby to scheme.

But it was not time to be regretful. Auntie Fang was still sober and knew that she had to act miserably to get Mo Huawen’s favors. Therefore, she suddenly fell off from the bed, crawled to Mo Huawen, and tugged at his robe, hurriedly defending herself.

According to Mo Huawen’s personality, if he knew that she was so vicious as to kill the baby, her whole life would be ruined!

She had no time to frame Mo Xuetong, but only to find scapegoats. She hurriedly pointed at Guihua and Guiyue and screamed.

“Old sir, it’s not us...” Guihua and Guiyue also knew the situation was going in the wrong way, but they didn’t expect the concubine would accuse them of killing the baby. Whoever committed the crime would have to die. They couldn’t take the accusation, and their faces turned pale. They shivered and tried to explain for themselves, and they looked at Mo Xuemin.

Compared to Auntie Fang, they believed more in Mo Xuemin and thought that she would come up with a solution to help them. However, when they saw Mo Xuemin playing with a silver bracelet and a glaze ball, they felt desperate. That two things belonged to their own niece and nephew. Their families were in first miss’s control and they didn’t dare to say anything. First miss was so vicious that she would even kill an unborn baby, which frightened them a lot.

“Old sir, please forgive us.” They started to beg Mo Huawen’s forgiveness. Although they were begging, there was only desperation in their eyes. Acknowledging such a crime, they would have no chance to live. But for their families, they had to bear the fault.

Mo Xuetong stood by the side, and watched their performance with cold eyes!

She had no mercy for the two maids. They followed Auntie Fang and Mo Xuemin to frame her, so they had to be prepared to be scapegoats.

By the other side, Bai Yihao looked at her, lost in deep thought. He had grown up in the palace and had seen such scenes which were filled with crying, sadness and terror. She was the only one keeping calm and quiet, blooming like a pure lotus.

They were bustling, while she was just alone. Even though the two maids cried and screamed miserably, she completely ignored them. She was only a thirteen-year-old girl. What did she go through to make her so cold...?

“Old sir, you see, it was them. A few days ago, they broke a teapot in my room, and I scolded them. I didn’t know they had held a grudge since then. That’s right. It must be like that. Old sir, let me kill them for our child.” It seemed Auntie Fang get hold of the last solution. She held Mo Huawen’s clothes and scolded at the two maids.

She wanted to get herself out of this trouble.

She wanted to push all the fault to the maids and keep her children and herself safe.

“Father, I couldn’t fall asleep last night and saw nanny Li who belonged to Auntie Fang talking to someone stealthily at the back door. Then they went to First Brother’s yard and got to Lihua Garden later. And today, these things happened. Do you want to ask nanny Li to come and ask her about it?” Mo Xuetong looked at Mo Xuemin and Mo Yufeng who were standing there quietly and said.

She wouldn’t let Mo Xuemin and Mo Yufeng out of this easily. She hadn’t planned carefully about Guihua and Guiyue, but she couldn’t imagine Auntie Fang would let her maids take all the responsibilities. And Mo Xuemin had taken hold of the families of the two maids. She saw clearly what’s in Mo Xuemin’s hand while others didn’t. Such things shouldn’t have been in Mo Xuemin’s hands. When the two maids saw it, their faces turned pale instantly and their explanation turned into plea completely, which meant they admitted the crime.

That meant the stuff in Mo Xuemin’s hands were from the families of the two maids. Mo Xuemin was not Auntie Fang, and she was grimmer and quicker at actions. She left herself a way to escape before her winning.

There was nothing to be found from the two maids!

She had to find another way out!

Mo Xuemin was safe from the trouble today, but his brother couldn’t. These days, Mo Feng had been watching what happened in Lihua Garden. Mo Xuemin seldom went there, but Mo Yufeng often went there to discuss with Auntie Fang about the plan. So, he basically knew the whole plan.

Now that Auntie Fang didn’t want the child, she wouldn’t help her. The relations between her and Auntie Fang were pretty intense. So, she had to stop being a nice person, who would only die more quickly. Her life ended in their hands in the last life. She had to revenge for her mother, herself and the child, and this was only the beginning of it.

So, she decided to be in the game: She asked Yingjiu to steal the safflower out and change it into phyllostachys pubescens and switched the incenses Mo Xuemin put there into the ones used for calming her nerves. All of these had been ready before they came. Mo Xuemin was so slippery that she got out of it again, but her brother couldn’t easily escape from it.

Auntie Fang and her children wanted to scheme her, and this was the price they had to pay!

Auntie Fang saw the unborn child as treasure, but father didn’t think in the same way. Through what happened that night, though father said nothing, he was sure the child in Auntie Fang’s belly was not his. The reason why he didn’t say anything about it was that he didn’t want to be disgraced. Now there was a chance and father wouldn’t easily let go of Auntie Fang.

“Get out. Someone search Lihua Garden.” As expected, Mo Huawen’s eyes were cold and he said firmly. With his years of experience in the government, he could easily smell something. He kicked Auntie Fang away and made her hit on the edge of the bed heavily. Her forehead knocked on the pointy edge and blood burst out onto her pale face. With her tangled hair, she looked just like a ghost.

The bitch not only committed adultery but also framed Tong’er!

And then nanny Li was brought in!

And the old woman brought along some safflower found in nanny Li’s room. She was in Lihua Garden, and she only knew Auntie Fang’s abortion, but she didn’t know what happened next. It was a perfect scheme, so she didn’t think anything would go wrong with it. When she was caught, she didn’t even know what had happened. When she saw Auntie Fang crawling to beg for forgiveness with tangled hair, she just followed her lead to plead.

Mo Xuemin moved a bit and wanted to step ahead.

“Nanny Li, you used safflower to kill the child in concubine’s belly.” Mo Xuetong walked ahead first and blocked Mo Xuemin’s way. She glimpsed her with a cold smile and said to nanny Li.

Mo Xuetong had already walked ahead, which made it inappropriate for her to step ahead. Mo Xuemin looked at Mo Xuetong with great anger and thought maybe the little bitch knew something about it. She was frightened at the thought and stepped back as if she got scared by something. She held the hand of a maid with confusion and shivered a bit.

But at that time, nobody took notice of her facial expression!

“Killing the baby of concubine?” Nanny Li got shocked. Her face turned pale and she screamed, “No, I didn’t do that.”

“Then where was the safflower from?” Mo Xuetong continued to move ahead and said coldly, “Last night, someone saw you with safflower offered by a guy in a pharmacy. Then you went to Lihua Garden with first sir. And such horrible happened today. If you didn’t kill the baby in concubine’s belly, then who? Maybe we should ask the guy in the pharmacy.”

She showed her attitude at the right time, which could let them know they couldn’t hurt her as they wanted to.

“The guy?” Nanny Li got frozen at the question. And when she looked at Mo Xuetong’s deep bright eyes which could see everything through, she felt those eyes had seen everything she did for Auntie Fang. She didn’t know how to answer but only repeated her words.

“Someone come here, bring her out of here, and kill her.” Seeing things developing in this way, Mo Huawen understood that Guihua, Guiyue, and nanny Li were all Auntie Fang’s trusted subordinate. He was so furious that he wanted to take Auntie Fang’s life. But he had to kill nanny Li first in the presence of others.

Two old women came in and dragged nanny Li out.

“Old sir, it was not me. It was first sir who brought concubine the safflower. It was not me. Uh...” The woman had already taken off her socks and put them into nanny Li’s mouth. She lifted the stick and beat her with all her effort. Nanny Li had always bullied others in the manor with Auntie Fang’s support. Therefore, they beat her with all strength.

“Official Mo has some family issues to deal with, then we’ll leave first.” Bai Yihao stood up and saluted.

Imperial doctor Li had wanted to leave long time ago. He just coldly glanced at Auntie Fang who was crying like a lunatic, looked at Mo Huawen with sympathy, and bowed. He went to Bai Yihao’s place earlier to learn about some medical symptoms, but was dragged here to see such a scene. He thought that Mo Huawen was so pathetic to have married such an evil woman.

“Thank you for your help.” Mo Huawen was in no mood to say anything more. He just sighed bitterly and replied. He didn’t care about other things now that such a thing had happened.

Bai Yihao didn’t leave right away, instead, he turned to Mo Xuetong with interest and asked, “How did the medicine work? Do you feel better now?”

“Yes!” Mo Xuetong looked at him with confusion, not understanding why he asked when he knew it all. But she still answered with joy. Then she stepped backwards and bowed to him. That’s because he not only treated the illness for her, but also came to Mo Manor to help.

She really needed to thank him!

Her reply pleased him, and a smile appeared by his lips, “Remember, when you come to learn Qin after the new year, don’t be a dabbler again.” Then, he just turned around and left.

Mo Xuetong didn’t realize it when he and imperial doctor Lu had gone far. Her face turned completely red. He meant that she was a dabbler at medical skills. Even if it was true, he didn’t have to be so direct. She bit her lips resentfully. When she looked again, Bai Yihao’s slim and graceful figure had already disappeared at the corner of the yard.

Auntie Fang’s affair settled down soon.

Nanny Li was beat to death. Guihua and Guiyue were sold. Auntie Fang kept spitting out blood after Mo Huawen’s kick, and she was locked in Lihua Garden forever. Mo Yufeng was also scolded and moved to the yard outside. All of his maids and servants were changed. Mo Xuemin got the least punishment. She was asked to apologize to Mo Xuetong in public and went back to Fuqing Garden to transcribe Classics for Women.

Till then, Auntie Fang had really lost her power!

But Mo Xuetong wouldn’t let her guard down, because Mo Xuemin and Qin Yufeng were still there. And they wouldn’t be waiting for too long.

That night, in Qingwei Garden.

Mo Yu rushed in with joy. She put down the dumplings and laid them carefully for Mo Xuetong and complained.

“Miss, these were the dumplings Mother Xu made for you. Today is the lunar year, and we can’t let them ruin our happiness. They let you stand in the drought when they knew you’re weak. They’re so mean. The worst of them is Auntie Fang, who would even kill her own baby. Now everything is settled. She not only lost the main wife’s position, but might be locked there forever.”

Forever? There was still a lot time. Auntie Fang wouldn’t give up. Mo Xuemin wouldn’t give up!

Given a chance, Mo Xuemin would give Auntie Fang a chance to regain her status. Especially, now father had only a son who was Mo Yufeng, so Mo Manor would be in their hands eventually, which was what she hated to see. If she didn’t finish them, there would be trouble again.

“Where is old sir?” She coughed a little and asked gently. She really got a cold and felt dizzy, but it’s not too bad.

“Old sir is alone in the study, and he don’t want to see anyone. I heard that even Old Madam didn’t get in.” Mo Yu blinked her eyes and said with confusion. Since Auntie Fang was brought down, shouldn’t the miss be the happiest among them? Why did she seem a little upset?
