Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter Chapter 408

Chapter 408 The Past That Had Been Wiped Out in the Memory
“Okay,” Mo Xuetong nodded, knowing that Mo Lan hoped her to think a lot of the child, so that Mo Xuetong could gain her father's favor more. A married woman still needed to rely on her own brother and father. Although Mo Xuetong did not have an elder brother, if Xu Yan conceived a baby boy, the boy would be Mo Xuetong's younger brother, as well as the support in her paternal family.

As for Mo Yufeng, Mo Xuetong did not have any expectations.

It was said that Mo Yufeng became more muddled and messed up his own yard completely. All of the good-looking maidservants belonged to him, and he had a house of concubines and maidservants with confusing ranks. It was rather ignominious. So father also had no expectation for him. And because Auntie Fang was expelled from Mo's clan, Mo Yufeng's presence seemed awkward.

Mo Huawen just gave him a yard and drove him there directly, totally indifferent to him.

After coming back to King Xuan's Manor, Mo Xuetong found Feng Yuran was not there, so she had lunch herself and went to bed for a nap.

She did not sleep well and could see the flames soaring to the sky from time to time. Burnt in the fire, she was too hurt to breathe, tumbling and wailing. No one came to save her. And she even could hear Mo Xuemin and Sima Lingyun sneering. She knew what they were waiting for was to see the fire burn her to death.

In this way, Mo Xuemin could become Sima Lingyun's legitimate wife reasonably.

A man in a robe rushed into the fire, shouted her name and saved her out of the fire. But she was unconscious and unable to see his face clearly. But inexplicably, she knew that the man was Qin Yufeng. His painful cry rang, “Mo Xuetong, Mo Xuetong!”

“Mr. Qin, why did you…” came Sima Lingyun's nervous voice!

At that time, Qin Yufeng was a favorite of Feng Yuxuan, so Sima Lingyun, the Marquess Zhenguo, did not dare to offend him.

“Didn't I ask you to poison her unconscious and send her away? Why was she here?” Qin Yufeng's voice was not as gentle as usual, even with some anger and resentment. It was so strange that the calm and deep Qin Yufeng could lose control.

“It was not what we wanted to do, but that she looked for death herself! It has nothing to do with us!” The scene became clearer. Mo Xuetong could see Mo Xuemin wiggling seductively forward and trying to persuade Qin Yufeng. Qin Yufeng was always friendly with Mo Xuemin, so she felt Qin Yufeng was interested in her. Although Mo Xuemin did not understand why Qin Yufeng tried to protect this ugly woman, she still felt that it was not a big deal that the stupid woman was burnt to death.

“She looked for death?” Qin Yufeng sneered, chilly and atrocious. Mo Xuemin was stunned to recede subconsciously, but her chest was pricked heavily by a sword. When the tip of the sword penetrated through her, blood stained her red wedding dress instantly. She covered her chest with her hands, looked at Qin Yufeng in puzzlement, and fell to the ground without saying a word.

“Qin Yufeng, you are crazy!” Sima Lingyun screamed in shock, and hurried to take two steps back when seeing Qin Yufeng holding the sharp sword.

“I'm crazy! Sima Lingyun, if you can't treat her well, why bother to marry her? And since you've married her, why do you do harm to her? You've promised to send her to me, and why did you burn her to death here? Since… your blood… rebirth…” Mo Xuetong's consciousness blurred and faded away completely.

She struggled to hear clearly, but only heard a scream, quite familiar…

“Tong'er, Tong'er.” Urgent cries awakened her. She opened her eyes blankly and panted heavily, only to see Feng Yuran's handsome face in front who was looking at her anxiously with his mouth opening and closing. He seemed to be calling her, but she could not collect herself at that moment and had to look at him blankly.

Feng Yuran shook her in suspense. Seeing her opening her eyes with a blank and lifeless look, Feng Yuran got flustered and screamed again, “Tong'er, Tong'er!”

“Yuran, I'm okay.” It took a while for Mo Xuetong to collect herself. Hearing his anxious scream and looking at the cold sweat on his forehead, Mo Xuetong felt relaxed immediately and thought no matter when she had died in the last life, it was enough to have him in this life. Why bothered to be entangled with others? Although she had been framed in the last life, she was willing to live a free and happy life in this life after rebirth.

To find someone who loved her and to live a good life!

She reached out her cold and sweaty hands to hold Feng Yuran's hands tightly. His hands were warm and dry, which were quite reassuring.

Feng Yuran gave a sigh of relief, but still asked uneasily, “Really okay?”

“I am okay.” Mo Xuetong sat up as holding Feng Yuran and took the handkerchief beside to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead. She could not help snorting with laughter. Feng Yuran always behaved himself in an enchanting and calm manner. When would he become so anxious? It really made her surprised, as well as moved indeed!

In this life, she did not live for nothing. Finally, a man did love her wholeheartedly.

It was enough, wasn't it?

“You're still laughing. It's scary!” Feng Yuran pulled away the handkerchief in her hand and hugged her as a punishment. It felt like he was trying to melt her into his blood and bone. Although it hurt, the heart had softened into a pool of water.

“It's just a nightmare, not a big deal. Why are you fussing?” Mo Xuetong threw a sidelong look at him and teased.

Feng Yuran did not plan to shift the topic, so he raised her chin to ask seriously, “Scared by Mo Xuemin?”

“Yes, I was scared. I didn't expect that she was like this. She didn't have an antidote in her hand, so there is no need to keep an eye on her any longer.” Mo Xuetong smiled indifferently without any trace of being scared. Feng Yuran looked at her carefully and felt relieved after finding nothing unusual on her.

As a matter of fact, he also guessed that Mo Xuemin had no antidote, but he just did not give up hope. But now, since Mo Xuetong was of no use, he decided not to notice her any longer. But the poison on Tong'er…

“What's wrong? Can't the poison in my body be handled without the antidote?” Seeing him not reply, Mo Xuetong twisted her head sideways and asked archly, her beautiful eyes blinking and long eyelashes flickering. So lovely and witty.

“How could it happen? The imperial physicians have developed it, but just lacked some kinds of medicine now. But it will be done soon. I thought it would be more effective to take the antidote from Mo Xuemin's hand. But I did not expect that she dared to cheat me! Well, that's not bad. I feel more reassured to use our own medicine.” Feng Yuran smiled and continued, “but remember to take more medicine in the future!”

“Okay. I will listen to you and take medicine on time.” Mo Xuetong leaned in his arms obediently and gave a sweet reply with a look that said she had full confidence in him.

“How about the things you do for me?” She flung her arms around his neck with a backhand and smiled enchantingly like a fox.

“Don't worry. Since Tong'er asked me to do the things, I will finish it for you first even if I don't sleep. Otherwise, if Tong'er is unhappy, what can I do if you don't let me go to bed?” Looking at her sweet expression, Feng Yuran could not help but kiss her and continued to say, “but it just troubles Tong'er, as it is my business.”

“Of course, I should enjoy the top priority concerning the matters in the inner yard. Could it be that you don't acknowledge my position as the mistress of the manor and want to divorce me to marry another?” Mo Xuetong said in a fierce voice, as she pretended to be tough, reached out her hands and squeezed his handsome face.

But her tender and beautiful countenance, even though in the disguise of malevolence, was not frightening at all, instead, so adorable. Even if Feng Yuran had a myriad of thoughts in his mind, now he had only one thought. He looked at her smiling cherry lips and kissed hard. The little woman could always provoke his anger, even dared to mention the divorce and remarriage.

“Get divorced? In this life, just perish the thought!

“Even though by using ties, I would tie you around me.

“In this life, you can only be my wife!” thought Feng Yuran.

On the day of the palace banquet, He Yuxiu came early and kept pushing Mo Xuetong to go into the palace early, as if it were too late.

Mo Xuetong was not difficult about her, and just freshened herself up early and went into the palace with He Yuxiu. Feng Yuran had been recuperating for some time, but he was still unable to drive the horse, so he got into the carriage as well. Of course, he would not take one himself. So Mo Xuetong and he took the large carriage in front, while He Yuxiu took the little one that she had taken when she came with her maidservants and nannies.

“Second Miss, don't be annoyed. It is natural that His Highness sits with Her Highness.” The nanny coming with He Yuxiu had sharp eyes and tried to persuade He Yuxiu when seeing her staring enviously at the manor's large carriage.

“Cousin is so handsome. Why is he married to such a young girl? Look at her slim figure. Is there any use?” He Yuxiu said as she gritted her teeth hard and almost wrenched her handkerchief into pieces. Every time she thought she had to flatter Mo Xuetong in public, she felt jealous!

“Mo Xuetong is just a little girl who has not turned 15 years old and not fully developed. How could she compare to my attractive stature?” He Yuxiu thought.

As for Mo Xuetong's enchanted little face, He Yuxiu just turned a blind eye!

“Second Miss, don't be angry. When seeing Her Highness, Consort Zhao, you can request Her Highness to decide for you. Then, it will be a piece of cake that you will marry His Highness. As being back by Consort Zhao, is it still difficult to get the position of Consort Xuan?” The nanny was both He Yuxiu's wet nurse and trusted servant, so the nanny knew clearly what her masters and misses thought, and her comforts sounded pleasant.

He Yuxiu's face softened a bit. She put down the curtain, raised her chin and said proudly, “When my aunt decides for me, I will drive that woman out of King Xuan's Manor without a doubt. If she dares to disagree, I will beat her to death. Does she really think she is the Consort Xuan and consider us as declined relatives? Two of my aunts are both the most favored consorts in the palace. What qualifications does she, such a little girl, have to speak?”

“That's right. When you contact Her Highness, Consort Zhao, and win her support, my miss, you can come into the palace whenever you want. When His Highness, King Xuan, turns his eyes on you, my miss, your status will ascend high. If one day His Highness, King Xuan… Miss, you will become the Empress, a motherly model of the nation.” The nanny was so smooth-tongued that He Yuxiu was highly delighted at her words and began imagining that her handsome cousin was looking at him affectionately with his charming eyes.

He Yuxiu felt a sweetness in her heart but heat on her face. She gave a snort and said bashfully, “Don't say such unruly words. The things in the future, let's just wait and see. Wait till the cousin can really take the throne.”

Although her words sounded perfect, the triumphant expression in her eyes betrayed her, as if she were the Empress, the motherly model of the nation now.

Although He Yuxiu's voice sounded harsh, she still wore a smile without any annoyance. The nanny knew that her remarks fitted in exactly with He Yuxiu's wishes, so she amused He Yuxiu. “Yes, yes, yes. Miss, what you said are decent. I am just a humble servant and speak nonsense. After being reminded by miss, I will not dare to talk recklessly in the future.”

“Be careful in the future, and don't talk nonsense, especially in the palace.” He Yuxiu scolded seriously.

“Yes. I will be careful and never ruin miss' matter. However, I have no chance to enter the palace, and have to wait in the carriage outside the palace. I don't have that good luck to enter the palace.” The nanny sighed.

“Don't worry. When I marry my cousin in the future, I will take you into the palace. You can go there whenever you want. Perhaps, we will live in the palace in the future.” He Yuxiu answered insolently without any prudence when she had demanded the nanny. Obviously, He Yuxiu had seen herself as the future mistress of the palace.
