Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter

She was being mocked by someone she used to look down upon the most!

"You slut." Yu Sirong was enraged and she rushed up to Mo Xuetong with her hand raised, preparing to hit her.

Mo Xueqiong pretended not to see anything. There was a hint of a satisfied smile on her lips.

Mo Ye acted quickly. She took two steps up and held on to Yu Sirong’s raised hand and pushed it away. Yu Sirong was no match for Mo Ye and she stumbled backwards. Her two maids reacted quickly. They pulled her back and she did not end up embarrassing herself falling onto the muddied grounds. However, even so, the high bun on her head loosened and a few locks of hair fell. The edges of her skirt swept the muddied ground and was dirtied.

She looked as pathetic as could be.

"Mo Xuetong, how dare you...how dare you?" Yu Sirong said angrily. She stood there, still flustered from her almost-fall.

Mo Xuetong stood there coldly. There wasn’t a hint of warmth in her eyes as they swept past Mo Xueqiong and locked onto Yu Sirong. She said, "What’s there that I don’t dare to do? Miss Yu, you came all the way to Mo Manor to teach me a lesson. Do you really think the Mo Manor is easy to bully?"

"Mo Xuetong." Yu Sirong yelled angrily. She was furious. A lock of stray hair hung in front of her eyes, reminding her how unkempt she looked. "You have a mother who gave birth to you but didn’t raise you right. See if I don’t teach you a lesson."

"Yu Sirong, it is not up to you to care whether there’s anyone to teach me or not. Business in the Mo Manor has nothing to do with the Yu Manor. When is it up to you to come and point fingers at us? Go. The Mo Manor does not welcome you." Mo Xuetong’s eyes were cold as she looked at Yu Sirong. Yu Sirong felt cold. Was that the Mo Xuetong who had cried in the corner after being bullied?

Yu Sirong shook with anger. Her face was splotchy. How could she get out of the situation gracefully now? If she wasn’t in Cloud City now, she would have yelled for her maid to hit Mo Xuetong and teach her a lesson.

"Miss Yu, you’d better go. Third Sister must have gotten off the wrong side of the bed and is in a bad mood. Don’t mind her. Wait for me to tell Father and get her to go to your manor to apologize to you." Mo Xueqiong smiled warmly and went to help Yu Sirong. "Don’t mind those useless people."

She looked at Mo Xuetong from the corners of her eyes and gave her a challenging look. She simply did not like Mo Xuetong.

"Mo Xueqiong. If you want to hang out with people who look down on the Mo Manor, then do as you wish. We don’t welcome you here as well. If I have a mother who didn’t raise me right, then you aren’t any better. If this doesn’t make you stop hanging out with Yu Sirong, then you might as well take the Yu surname. See if Father will still accept you after he finds out about this!" Mo Xuetong clutched her sleeves tightly, ice and fire warring in her eyes. Her eyes looked at them sharply and coldly.

Yu Sirong had scolded her mother. This was as much as she could take. She might be able to bear Mo Xueqiong’s sarcasm, but she would not allow someone to scold her mother and still act like a guest. Since Mo Xueqiong had tried to pick on her status as the main daughter again and again, she would not mind letting Mo Xueqiong find out what’s the difference between them.

"If Father knows that mother has been scolded, and you, a concubine daughter had not done anything about it and had even spoken up for an outsider, he would want to know where is your heart of filial piety. The Mo family has been trodden under someone else’s feet. You did not feel scorned at all. How could you, as someone’s daughter, as someone’s child."

Mo Xueqiong was stunned. Even Yu Sirong looked at Mo Xuetong in shock. They saw the coldness on her beautiful face and were shocked by her. They did not know how to react.

"Clap clap clap." Someone applauded. "That was good. You are indeed a failure as someone’s child if you do not know how to protect your parents." A man’s elegant and gentle laughter sounded.

Everyone could not help but be shocked. They saw Mo Huawen approaching them with a gentleman.

The handsome gentleman wore a white fox fur coat with black trims and also a blue robe. He had a blue and gold jade belt on his waist and a jade crown that shone with white light on his head. He stood straight and tall and was very handsome. His entire being exuded a sense of nobility. It was King Chu, Feng Yuxuan.

Mo Xueqiong’s expression immediately turned into one of aggrieve when she saw Mo Huawen. She looked at him tearily.

"Father...Third Sister scolded me..." Her voice shook slightly when she saw how Mo Huawen’s expression grew darker and darker and she could not go on.

"Men, take Fourth Miss to the ancestral hall. She will fulfill her filial piety to madam tonight." Mo Huawen said coldly.

Two female servants came up and dragged Mo Xueqiong away.

"Uncle..." Yu Sirong could sense that something was wrong. She went up to him hurriedly to curtsy and explain. However, Mo Huawen interrupted her coldly, "I really don’t deserve to be called Uncle by First Miss Yu. It is such a rare occasion for you to come and teach my daughter on my behalf today. My daughter has a mother who gave birth to her but didn’t raise her right has nothing to do with the Yu Manor does it? When is it up to Miss Yu, a woman in the inner courtyard to teach my daughter how to do things? No matter my failings, I still know how to teach my daughter."

These words were already humiliating. It was because Yu Sirong had gone past what Mo Huawen found acceptable. The person he loved most in this life was Luo Xia. If Luo Xia had not agreed, he would not have taken concubines. He had not thought that his daughter born to a concubine would join hands with an outsider to bully Tong’er and insult Luo Xia. Why would Mo Huawen still allow Yu Sirong to leave unscathed?

He felt that the girl was just as annoying as Auntie Fang. She was indeed a daughter of the Yu family. Her heart was evil! He regretted allowing Auntie Fang into the family. She had done her best to wait on Luo Xia gently and he thought she was a good person. However, she had hidden her true colors well.

"Wah!" Yu Sirong could not bear Mo Huawen’s cold dismissal. Her face flushed red and white and she ran out crying loudly. Her two maids called after her hurriedly and chased after her.

Mo Xuetong watched this coldly. Her hands, which were holding onto her sleeves tightly slowly loosened. She bit her lips and hid the tears and pain in her eyes.

"Tong’er, don’t be afraid. Father is here for everything." Mo Huawen’s soft voice appeared by her ear. She looked up with eyes clouded by tears and saw the love that could not be hidden in Mo Huawen’s eyes. She could not bear the sadness she felt and rushed into Mo Huawen’s embrace, tears rolling down her cheeks.

In her past life, Yu Sirong had always seemed to behave as if she and Mo Xuetong had gotten along well. However, she had plotted against her behind her back. Rumors of her being arrogant and out of control had spread thanks to her and Mdm Yu. Not only did she have a bad reputation, but even her mother had been implicated. There were a few times that even the servants in the Qin Manor had mentioned her mother with disdain. She had been weak and cowardly then and only knew to hide and cry.

But today, she finally scolded them loudly and finally felt relief in her heart.

That’s right. She would not be bullied for no reason in this life!

She would definitely get revenge for all those debts of blood!

"Tong’er, be good. Don’t cry anymore. There’s someone here!" Mo Huawen hugged her and felt her body trembling slightly. He patted her shoulders lovingly.

Mo Xuetong calmed down slowly when she sensed someone looking at her. She got up from Mo Huawen’s embrace and turned away, wiping her tears with a handkerchief. She took two steps forward and curtsied to Feng Yuran politely. "Greetings, King Chu."

"Third Miss, you don’t have to be so polite." Feng Yuran said with a smile. His gaze landed on her slightly damp face. She looked just like how she had appeared to him in his many dreams of her. She was beautiful and his heart stirred. This was especially so in her current situation. Her long lashes fluttered beautifully. Her pink luscious lips and her porcelain skin, her exquisite features...

It made one’s heart hurt, and want to protect her!

"Third Miss, there’s no need to be so polite. Eldest Brother and I just came to see the Mo Manor gardens. We came because Eldest Brother heard that the gardens here were different from others. We did not expect to see that." It was a familiar lazy drawl. Mo Xuetong could not help but look up.

It was indeed Feng Yuran who was leaning against the circular entrance of the courtyard. His handsome appearance was stunning and his smile was charming. However, Mo Xuetong could sense something dangerous in his smile. It flickered, making one feel chilled for some reason.

Who had annoyed this man for him to unleash his wrath here today!

Mo Xuetong’s mind cleared immediately. She curtsied deeply at him and then backed away to Mo Huawen’s side. She said softly, "Father, I shall leave first!"

Even though she did not know what King Xuan and King Chu were doing in her home, she definitely did not wish to know. She just felt a sense of danger for some reason that made her want to flee. She had already calmed down now.

"Go!" They were all men not from the family and it was indeed unsuitable for a lady like Mo Xuetong to stay here. Mo Huawen nodded.

Feng Yuxuan’s gaze could not help but follow Mo Xuetong’s retreating back. She was also this sad the first time he saw her. After giving the orchid to her aunt’s nanny, she had left despite her pale complexion. Beneath the gentle appearance, was a decisive nature. How could he not feel curious about it

"Lord Mo, I wonder if your daughter has been be trothed?" Feng Yuran approached, he looked at Mo Huawen with his phoenix-eyes with a vague smile.

This was very rude. However, because he was King Xuan who always did what was unexpected, Mo Huawen could only tough it out and answer, "My daughter had been betrothed by her mother since she was young."

"That’s such a pity!" Feng Yuran behavior seemed extremely innocent. "Can you back out of it?"

This sentence made Mo Huawen so angry he almost passed out.

"Eighth Brother, don’t be rude!" Feng Yuxuan reacted then and rebuked him with a smile. Then, he turned around and placated Mo Huawen, "Eighth Brother is just being playful. Lord Mo, don’t take him seriously."

"Yes, your subordinate does not dare to!" Mo Huawen did not dare to do anything to the handsome king and could only agree, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

"Lord Mo, your gardens are indeed unique. I heard that it is a place that subordinates of the Jin King gathered back then. Even though the mountains and waters here are not large, they are very exquisite. Father bestowing this manor to you means that he really thinks highly of you. "Feng Yuxuan moved forward again with a smile. They ignored what happened earlier.

"His Majesty is generous. He was considerate and bestowed upon me this place because he knew that I did not have a house." Mo Huawen answered carefully.

"Lord Mo has been with my father, the Emperor, since he was the crown prince. You are different from the others. Who else would my father rely on other than you?" Feng Yuxuan said meaningfully.

It was difficult for Mo Huawen to reply to this statement. He laughed awkwardly. Just as he was about to answer carefully, he heard Feng Yuran saying impatiently, "Eldest Brother, did we come here to look at the gardens today or to visit Lord Mo? Get your workers to work faster and leave after they finish the drawing. I am going to have dinner at the Hundred Flowers Complex with a few friends later. I can’t be late!"

The Hundred Flowers Complex was not a decent place to visit. It was the most famous brothel amongst brothels.

However, other than Feng Yuran who did not feel anything, everyone else felt a little awkward at the mention.

Feng Yuxuan coughed and said with a smile, "Eighth Brother, don’t worry. We will be done when we finish talking a walk around the garden. The drawers are fast."

"Alright, then be faster!" Feng Yuran said loudly.
