Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter (PART 2)

Chapter 473-474

Chapter 473 A Fight and How Concubine Qin Thinks of Mo Xuemin

The concubines had all regained their wits by then. They hurriedly greeted Mo Xuetong, all feeling rather wary!

Mo Xuetong did not stand on courtesy either. She smiled softly and said, “I invited everyone here today because I wished to meet you all. Even though I am young, I have to manage the back courtyard. Though His Highness has ordered for all of you to stay in the courtyards at the back and not allow you all to come out, I think it is better to release you all. Even though all of you are not official concubines, you all can be considered to be bed servants.”

Mo Xuetong’s statement had just classed all the concubines as ordinary bed servants. There were many who were displeased with that. Even though most of them were not of high status, they were still better than a bed servant. Some of them were from families with court positions and there was a concubine, Qin, who was from a noble family.

“My Lady, my father used to be colleagues with Sir Mo. It is just that Sir Mo had better luck at work and the Emperor trusted him, which was why he was promoted to being a third-grade official. Now that I think about it, I used to hang out with your eldest sister before I married His Highness. We can be considered friends.”

Concubine Yun smiled and took a few steps forward as she spoke to Mo Xuetong. She meant to deal with Mo Xuetong with a blow and tell her that her father and Mo Xuetong’s father, Mo Huawen, used to be of the same rank. She used to hang out with the eldest daughter of the Mo Manor as well. No matter how they looked at it, she was considered to be of noble status as well. She could not be considered a bed servant and should have a proper position.

Another woman came up and tried to get in good with Mo Xuetong as well. She was a beautiful woman called Concubine Ming. The smile on her face was gentle and harmless. “That’s right, First Miss Mo is a talented woman and we used to get along very well. I wonder how she’s doing now. Did she marry a good man and has forgotten all her friends?”

It was as if she were just simply mentioning it!

Mo Xuemin was just Mo Huawen’s eldest concubine-born daughter. Even though these concubines maintained connections to the outside world, they only talked about what concerned them. They would not mention these things. Furthermore, these people kept in contact with the outside world secretly and only talked business. As such, even though what Mo Xuemin did had caused a furor, these women did not know about it.

When they saw that Mo Xuetong did not speak, they thought that they had managed to use Mo Xuetong’s elder sister to oppress her. They wanted to see what else Mo Xuetong could say.

Mo Huawen had only brought Mo Xuemin and Mo Xueqiong with him when he entered the capital. At that time, Auntie Fang had been in charge of the family matters of the Mo Manor. She and Mo Xuemin would be the ones who welcomed guests, which was why some family members of court officials thought that Auntie Fang was Mo Huawen’s legal wife. Mo Xuemin was naturally the eldest legitimate daughter. Her status was definitely higher than Mo Xuetong, the legitimate second daughter.

They were truly stupid. Mo Yu pursed her lips behind Mo Xuetong. The mockery in her eyes was evident!

They wanted to use Mo Xuemin to oppress the Lady. That was too stupid!

Mo Xuetong seemed not to have understood what Concubine Yun and Concubine Ming meant. She smiled even more sweetly and looked at the two meaningfully before ignoring them. Then, she said to the other concubines, “Yesterday, His Highness ordered me to list down your names so you will all be considered an official part of the manor. In the future, your monthly allowance will be the same as the other bed servants lest any of you feel aggrieved.”
