Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter (PART 2)

Chapter 493-494

Chapter 493 The Plot Failed, and Bring Trouble to Themselves

Even after the investigation, he was unlikely to get a heavy punishment.

Feng Yulei knew that You Yuecheng would do something, bringing the matter to the Mo Manor. If the people from the Mo Manor came to make trouble, he could get away.

Today, as soon as he heard some people from the Mo Manor were at his gate, he took You Yue’e out. He wanted to act well, but something unexpected happened again.

Feng Yulei had no idea that someone would stand up for a maidservant instead of for Mo Xueqiong.

It was not in the same direction that he designed it to be. For a moment he was assailed by her questions. His face darkened, almost dripping with water, and he stared at the woman in front of him with hatred.

“Who are you?” asked Feng Yulei through gritted teeth.

“I’m the mother of Mo Yan, the maid who was tricked into getting pregnant and then died a horrible death. Your Highness, you are high above, and the owner of King Yan’s Manor. You should be very clear about all the affairs in your manor. Tell me, who was the father of the baby in my poor daughter’s belly? Was it you? If it was you, why did you let my daughter and her baby die?”

Mo Yan’s mother addressed Feng Yulei as “Your Highness”, knelt down and kowtowed to him. She spoke plainly, but each word sounded sadly like a drop of blood. The poor woman’s eyes were red and swollen from crying, her hair loose and her face pale; she almost collapsed to the ground, but she still cried and begged King Yan to tell her the answer. For a moment all the people were touched.

Next to her, Auntie Qing started whining. “My poor daughter, the maidservant around you was getting pregnant, but you didn’t even know that. What, what a wimp you were! You couldn’t even protect your maidservant. How… how could you survive? If I had known that you would die in King Yan’s Manor, I would have tried my best to stop you. My poor child, how glad you were that day when you married into King Yan’s Manor!”

According to Auntie Qing, Mo Xueqiong was very happy to marry King Yan. Why did the second consort urgently elope with another man after only a few months?

The crowd stared at Feng Yulei and started talking.

“Your Highness, tell us, what happened?”

“Even if she is a maidservant, she was pregnant with your child. It belonged to the royal family. How could you be so cruel to hurt them?”

“What is this? Why did such things happen repeatedly? And none of them survived. I heard that another second consort also died before. The back yard of King Yan’s Manor is really…”

When Feng Yulei was speechless, You Yue’e couldn’t stand it anymore. She snapped, “Nonsense! Who knows whose bastard was in that maidservant’s belly. Is our manor a place for people to breed bastards?” She was already pissed off, but Feng Yulei kept hinting at her not to butt in.

As soon as she finished, Feng Yulei’s face darkened, and he knew something was wrong. Before he could think of a solution, the female servant who was kneeling on the ground and crying and kowtowing to him suddenly stood up, rushed over, spat at You Yue’e, and scolded angrily, “If Mo Yan had a bastard in her belly, is there a pureblood in this manor? Even if you are Consort Yan, you can’t call His Highness’ son a bastard. No wonder second consorts died one after another, and so did the babies. It was all because you thought the babies were bastards and couldn’t keep them.”

She was scolding You Yue’e, making the latter unable to refute. Then the crowd erupted.

Everyone immediately began to discuss the past. There was a second consort who was pregnant before, and also suffered massive bleeding. Now a second consort died, and then a maidservant who was probably pregnant with King Yan’s baby also had an accident. Why did something always happen to King Yan’s second consorts and babies?
