Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter (PART 2)

Chapter 387-388

Chapter 387 The Secret Guards by Luo Xia’s side

Feng Yuran did not have a good reputation in the imperial palace and was well known for creating trouble and being promiscuous and arrogant. If one did annoy him, no one would be able to pacify his anger and thus it affirmed his position as the number one spoiled kid in the imperial city. Furthermore, since his lady had disappeared this time… no one knew how he would act!

Even though Mo Xuetong smiled sweetly, she was obviously threatening the girl.

The woman stopped tidying up the plates and glanced mysteriously at Mo Xuetong, replying, “Wait.”

She then brought the plates and the bowls down. After a while, an ordinary man wearing a long robe came in. His hat was pulled down, with only his mouth exposed beneath it. Behind him, the previous woman followed on and placed two cups of tea down on the table before retreating.

“What do you want me for? Money?” Mo Xuetong picked up the teacup and took a sip leisurely. She glanced at the man sideways who was observing her and smiled gently.

Her comfortable posture seemed to show that she had not at all realized that she was caught and in danger.

“Are you Consort Xuan, the third miss of Mo Manor?” The man wearing the long robe had a low voice, making him sound like someone fifty or sixty years old.

“If that was your question, then congratulations, you did not catch the wrong person.” Mo Xuetong looked at the man in the long robe and replied calmly. She placed down the teacup in her hand and smiled at the man meaningfully.

“The third miss of Mo manor is indeed not simple. Being a lady, it is really admirable that you can remain so composed in this situation.” Seeing her tepid look, the man in the long robe praised her.

“No matter how admirable I am, I am still kidnapped by you. I wonder what business you have with me?” Mo Xuetong placed down the teacup, flickering her eyes and smiling slightly, composed. She did not look like a prisoner. Her watery eyes had a little calmness hidden within, as if she were in no rush at all.

“My lady, do you know who your mother, Lady Mo, was?” The man in the long robe asked.

This sentence connotated a few different meanings. Mo Xuetong was alarmed and raised her head to look at him and saw that his jaw was still as if he was anticipating her response. Now, he was merely probing to find out how much she knew. There were few people in the world now who knew Mother’s true identity.

“Everyone knows that Mother is the First Miss of Fu General Manor, a true aristocrat. Why did you ask that?” Mo Xuetong replied with a politically correct answer. Everyone knew that and the answer was not incorrect. Regardless of the true identity of Mother, she should only be the first miss of Fu General Manor in the eyes of others.

Even though many people knew the truth, they kept the secret to themselves and remained silent to protect Fu General manor. Anyway, King Jin rebelled then and Fu General Manor had committed a hideous crime to have saved Mother. If Emperor Zongwen were insistent about investigating the crime, Fu General Manor would not be spared.

“My lady, you are wrong. The first lady of Mo Manor is not the eldest daughter of Fu General Manor, but the daughter of King Jin, real royal blood and the daughter of heaven. The Princess Royal today should give her position to your mother.” The man in the long robe was excited as his body and voice trembled, his voice inappropriately cracking.

Completely different from the composure he initially showed!

Mo Xuetong could sense that he was eagerly anticipating her response. He rushed to expose the secret that he kept for thirty years, the one that Mo Xuetong was interested in and had secretly been investigating…
