Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter (PART 2)

Chapter 427-428

Chapter 427 The Fight Between Yu Mingyong and Li Youmo

“That’d work. I can be a companion to Consort Xuan.” Li Youmo said with a smile. He continued, without hiding anything from Mo Xuetong. He pulled out a file and handed it to Feng Yuran with a mocking laugh. “Your Highness, King Chu is indeed in contact with the First Prince of Yan. King Ning is also in contact with the First Prince. It seems that the First Prince of Yan has a big appetite. He would be able to get help from Qin no matter who gets the throne. He won’t be losing out at all.”

Feng Yuran took the file and looked at it. A devilish smile appeared on the corners of his lips. Then, he scoffed coldly, “The First Prince of Yan indeed has a big appetite. However, he is interfering with too much. We’ll deal him with a strong blow and see if he still has time to meddle in the affairs of Qin Kingdom.”

Feng Yuran had never liked the First Prince of Yan. He was ambitious but did not have talent. He was no match for Bai Yihao. He did not settle the matters of his own country first but instead meddled with the internal affairs of Qin. Was the First Prince too arrogant or did he not know what dying was? No one could save him once the trouble started just based on what he was doing now in the back of the palace.

Li Youmo suddenly changed the topic. “Alright. Then what shall we do with the southern barbarians?”

Mo Xuetong, who had been looking down, was shocked!

The Southern Barbarian Lands?

The Southern Barbarian Lands!

In her past life, Feng Yuran had gone to the Southern Barbarian Lands and then went missing. Mo Xuetong felt afraid of the Southern Barbarian Lands for an unknown reason.

She clenched her fists under her sleeves and listened to the conversation, afraid that she would miss something.

Li Youmo tapped his fingers on the table and said with a meaningful smile. “I heard the crown prince of the Southern Barbarians is coming here. I heard that he even brought the Southern Barbarian Princess. The two countries will be connected by marriage. However, I don’t know who will marry the Princess. I heard that she is the most beautiful woman of the Southern Barbarian Lands.”

The Southern Barbarian Princess was coming to get married to someone from Qin?

Mo Xuetong cleverly caught Li Youmo’s point. Her eyebrows scrunched up slightly where the men could not see. In her past life, she had heard about this incident as well. However, a major accident happened afterward. She had been in the back courtyard of the Duke Zhenguo’s Manor then and could not even take care of herself, much less care about others. She only recalled vaguely that it was quite a big matter.

Then, the most beautiful woman of the Southern Barbarian Lands did not marry anyone. She returned to the Southern Barbarian Lands.

However, not long after that, a war started between the Qin Kingdom and the Southern Barbarian Lands. After what happened to Feng Yuran, he immediately went to war as general and never returned. Didn’t that mean that the most beautiful woman of the Southern Barbarian Lands had something to do with Feng Yuran? Or perhaps something happened then and the two nations parted on bad terms?

Otherwise, Feng Yuran was unmarried then and the Southern Barbarian Lands had been interested in cementing the relationship between two countries by marriage. The marriage was a done deal. Why else would so many things happen after that?

Feng Yuran might have sensed Mo Xuetong’s unease. He reached out to hold her cold hands under the table. Then, he held her hands in his large warm ones and patted them comfortingly.
