Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter Chapter 117

Mo Huawen visited Mo Xuetong when he heard that she had returned to Qingwei Garden. He only left when he saw that she was in good spirits.

He had felt guilty towards his third daughter ever since Auntie Fang had been released.

This was especially so when Mo Xuetong had not berated him but had been gentle and showed concern for his health. This made him feel even more ashamed.

Auntie Fang had a vicious heart and had tried to hurt his daughter. However, he could only release her for the sake of the child in her belly. He could not explain this reasonably before Tong'er. As such, he did not go to Auntie Fang's Lihua Garden but headed straight back to his study. He spent the night there as well.

Mo Xuetong had not yet recovered. She sent everyone out, leaving only Mo Ye in her room.

She took out something and gave it to Mo Ye. After giving her orders and waiting for Mo Ye to leave, she laid down and rested.

Auntie Fang tried to work together with Mdm Yu to hurt her. She would have to “reciprocate” her good will!

In Auntie Fang's Lihua Garden.

Auntie Fang had been rather comfortable the last few days. She was the first to receive all the good food and drinks in the manor. And she was in a good mood when she thought of Mo Xuetong would not be able to return this time. She was lying on the couch sunbathing by the window when a maid sent her some red bird's nest which she took infrequent sips of.

With Mo Xuetong's death, she just had to behave more virtuously. Old sir would let her become his wife for the sake of the child in her belly, Min'er and Feng'er. Everything that belonged to Luo Xia and her daughter would become hers. When she thought of this, she could not help but laugh out loud. The Yu Manor would acknowledge her then.

Then, she would not only become the Madam of the Mo Manor but she would also have a good family background. Who else would dare to look down on her? With the slut's death, she would become the Madam of the family. Who else could say anything!

She was feeling like the cat that had caught the canary, treating Mo Xuetong as if she was already dead. Mo Xuetong had been disfigured and her reputation had been ruined. How would that little slut bear to live on?

She was shocked when a maid ran in to inform her that the Third Miss had returned. She almost choked on the red bird's nest that she was eating!

Then, she heard that old sir had gone to Qingwei Garden but had not come to visit her. The anger in her raged. She did not believe that her three children could not beat Mo Xuetong that slut.

She was extremely angry and did not even think about how Mo Xuetong had managed to escape her plot. She stood up furiously, wanting to go to the study to look for Mo Huawen. She wanted to ask him why he was so biased. Feng'er was the Mo family's only son and would one day take the helm of the family. How was he not as worthy as a girl child who would cost the family money?

“Auntie, don't go. Listen to me and don't create trouble again, causing trouble for first miss and Young Master.” Nanny Li hurriedly help her sit and comforted her.

“He doesn't care about Min'er and Feng'er. I really don't know what kind of medicine that slut fed him. It's been so many years, but all he cares about is still her.” Auntie Fang was furious and she gritted her teeth as she spoke.

“Auntie, all these are not important. Madam will always be on old sir's heart and this is something that you will never be able to cross. There is no need for a living person to fight with the dead. No matter how powerful Madam was, it is all in the past. You are still the one in charge in the manor now.” Auntie Li took the tea that Gui Yue handed her and handed it to Auntie Fang.

“But I just don't like it!” Auntie Fang said angrily as she calmed down after taking a sip of the tea. She also knew that it was rash for her to leave like this. She would not do something like that after she calmed down.

“Why does that have to matter? It's all in the past. You just have to be more virtuous, and if you give birth to a boy again, who else can old sir make the wife if not you? Furthermore, Young Master is old sir's only son right now. Even if he is not considerate towards you, he would be towards Young Master.”

Nanny Li's words pointed to Auntie Fang's heart and took down her anger a little. She slammed her teacup down and her expression grew cold. The light of the setting winter sun shone through the window and on her pale face. She suddenly looked sinister and ferocious.

“Nanny, the little slut is still so lucky this time. What should I do?”

“Auntie, do not worry for now. Third Miss is still young. You can still deal with her in the future.”

“I can't wait any longer. Min'er said we definitely couldn't wait anymore. She is so hard to deal with even though she is so young. We definitely won't benefit when she grows up so we have to get rid of her quickly. I don't know what's the matter with the Yu and Qin Manors that they can't even kill the little slut when they work together.” Auntie Fang was slightly resentful and she gritted her teeth and spoke viciously.

She still did not know that the Yu Manor had not only failed but had its reputation ruined.

“Perhaps the time is not right. The Yu Manor will definitely send a letter to you to explain things tomorrow. You don't have to worry. Anyway, no matter what, it has nothing to do with you. Even if something happened, it is the business of the Qin and Yu Manors. Old sir would not be able to pin it on you even if he wanted to.” Nanny Li analyzed carefully.

Auntie Fang could still accept such an analysis. However, her expression turned dark when she thought of Mo Xuemin's suggestion.

It was the last chance Mo Xuemin was giving her. If she could not, then she would take a gamble on the child in her belly. She had agreed then. But now that they were really doing it, she could not bear to. She touched her slightly rounded belly and felt as if there was a knife shredding her heart. She really could not bear to lose the child.

“Auntie, if you cannot bear to lose this child, you cannot attain a major coup. When you become the main wife, you can have as many children as you want. The children you have then will be true main children and old sir would be delighted.” Nanny Li was already on Mo Xuemin's side and would naturally speak up for her.

“But…” Auntie Fang still could not bear it. Even though she had a vicious heart, it was still her child. How would she be willing to just abandon it!

“Auntie, are you willing to let first miss, Young Master, and this child be always treated as a child of a concubine? And make it so that it would be difficult for them to even find a good match?! Auntie, I know that you have a kind heart but you have to be able to make the right decision in the right situation. You have no choice, the young master in your belly will understand.” Nanny Li counseled.

Auntie Fang gritted her teeth when she thought of what Mo Xuemin said and she realized that there was no other way to deal with Mo Xuetong. She could only bore down on the pain in her heart and said, “Alright, I will even give up on my own child this time. I will definitely have that slut die a terrible death.”

She touched her belly subconsciously and felt a searing pain in her heart. She pushed all the rage she felt onto Mo Xuetong. It was all that slut's fault. That slut had hurt her unborn child. It was her, her! She would definitely kill that slut to avenge her unborn child.

Her expression grew more sinister and vicious as she thought and she gritted her teeth ferociously.

The skies had darkened as they spoke. Auntie Fang's senior maid, Gui Yue brought in a lamp as well as a little pouch.

“Auntie, I don't know if this is old sir's seal. I picked it up on the path old sir took. There was no one around, so I have brought it to you.” Gui Yue handed the pouch over to Auntie Fang. It was slightly dirty, probably because it had fallen onto the ground.

Auntie Fang accepted it. There was a jade seal inside the pouch. She flipped it around in her hands and took a close look at it. The jade was clear and shiny and it was really a good piece of jade. However, she did not know what was written on it. Mo Huawen had never let her see the seal he used at work, but this was probably it.

It was a pity that Auntie Fang used to be poor and was illiterate. She gradually learned a few simple words, but she did not understand this form of writing.

“Auntie, this is definitely old sir's. Young Master does not have this kind of seal and who else but old sir would drop this in the gardens.” Nanny Li said confidently as she went up to take a look at it as well.

“Auntie, shall we take it to old sir now?” Gui Yue put down the lamp in her hands and asked.

“It's alright. We will tell him when he can't find it.” Auntie Fang kept the seal after thinking about it. She ordered Gui Yue to throw the pouch away. The pouch seemed old and she did not know if it was something Luo Xia had left behind. She was filled with jealousy when she thought of how Mo Huawen still kept and treasured the pouch that Luo Xia left behind.

Mo Huawen looked down on her, so she would show him how useful she was. This was definitely a seal he used often. He would not be able to get through a day without using it for his work. She figured that it would cause a furor in a while. That was good, she would find it for him when he grew anxious and then he would be grateful towards her.

With that decision made, she took out a few pouches she made in her free time to put the seal in.

“Auntie, pick this. The two mandarin ducks playing in the water together. Old sir will definitely understand your intentions when he sees this. Auntie, your embroidery is done well and the mandarin ducks look like they are alive. I have lived for so many years and have never seen better skills than yours.” Nanny Li had served Auntie Fang for many years and knew what she was thinking. She hurried up to give her advice when she saw Auntie Fang picking out pouches.

Auntie Fang rather liked what Nanny Li said. She picked up the pouch with the mandarin ducks embroidery and looked at it. She felt that it was a good idea as well. She looked at the loving pair on the pouch and the words she embroidered on the side. “Faith and trust in love triumps distance.” She was pleased with it no matter how she looked at it.

She had wanted to give Mo Huawen the pouch after she was done embroidering it. However, Mo Huawen had ignored her and she could not find an opportunity to give it to him, so it was left in her needle-work bag. She would take this opportunity to give it to him, achieving her goal. She was rather satisfied and placed the seal into the pouch. Then, she picked some strings to make a hanging belt so that Mo Huawen could hang it around his waist in the future.

She only realized that it was very dark when she was done. Auntie Fang laid down to rest after she had dinner.

Her belly was still small and her figure was still slender. She placed the pouch under her pillow before she went to bed after some thought. She even picked a bright red belly-binder to wear and put on a thin shawl around her, revealing her skin. She looked beautiful and charming. She then put on some makeup, drawing her brows long and thin and making her skin look soft and tender. Nanny Li and the other servants praised her appearance and said that Auntie Fang was the best looking woman in the manor.

Auntie Fang went to bed after cleaning up but she did not fall asleep.

She thought of how Mo Huawen would definitely come over to find his seal tomorrow. He might even take pity on her when he saw her and stay over at her place. It has been a long while since Mo Huawen visited her Garden. Mo Huawen only visited in the day since the little slut returned.

Auntie Fang truly could not fall asleep when she thought about that. She badly wanted Mo Xuetong to be torn into shreds by tens thousands of knives in front of her immediately. It would be the best if she could stomp on Mo Xuetong.

After a long while, Mo Huawen still did not come. However, she felt a little sleepy. She was pregnant and even though she slept a lot in the day, she could not stay up late at night either. And she fell asleep.

A long time later, she was startled awake by noises. She sat up blurrily and was just about to ask what was happening when the door was slammed open. Mo Huawen stood at the entrance with a cold and sharp look on his face. He brought with him several male servants. There were high satin drapes in the room and she appeared in her disheveled clothing, revealing her jade-like skin.

The servants all lowered their heads and did not dare to follow Mo Huawen in.

Mo Huawen was furious when he saw that. He entered and shut the door. The resounding boom startled Auntie Fang back into her wits and she looked at Mo Huawen, clear-headed. She did not understand why he was so angry that the veins on his face were twitching so.

He had only just lost a seal! How serious could it be!
