Chapter 575-576

Chapter 575 On the Way to Xiuning Workshop

Mo Xuetong and Luo Mingzhu parted ways at the entrance of Fu General Manor. They used to go the same way for a while before they parted. Today, Luo Mingzhu claimed that she had something to do—to visit an elder of the Li family. It happened that the two of them weren’t on the same path, so they parted ways at the gate. Mo Xuetong sat in the carriage and watched Luo Mingzhu’s carriage go away before asking her coachman to drive.

Luo Mingzhu acted quite oddly. She had hurried into King Xuan’s Manor in the morning because of what happened to Fu General Manor. Then, that matter happened in Fu General Manor. How could she be in the mood to visit an elder? She had been standing behind the study earlier and Mo Xuetong’s second uncle and aunt had been arguing. It was said that the two had gotten into a big fight. Could it be because of this?

“My Lady, are we going back to the manor now?” Mo Ye asked after getting on the carriage. As she noticed that Mo Xuetong was still pondering, she added, “My Lady, don’t worry. Mo Feng was above the study just now, so he should have heard what Second Master and Madam Qu had said.”

Having been by Mo Xuetong’s side for a long time, she no longer looked down on the little Consort Xuan. Mo Ye was truly in awe of Mo Xuetong and felt that she was a perfect woman. She had a beautiful and weak appearance, but in fact, she had a strong heart. Anyone who looked down on her would be swallowed up in the end.

Therefore, no matter from the outside or inside, her two masters were absolutely a perfect match. They could fool people, and, at the same time, make them happily help them.

“Don’t go back to the mansion now. Let’s go to Xiuning Workshop first.”

She had prepared gifts for King Chu’s birthday long ago. However, she thought of what happened at the embroidery shop that day. Mo Yarui had intentionally chosen that place probably because she had intended to pick out some embroideries in that shop. Unfortunately, after the incident with the girl from the Southern Barbarian Lands, they parted unhappily. Since she had not gone to Xiuning Workshop for a long while, and it was on her way home, Mo Xuetong decided to bring some to Mo Yarui.

Ever since Shopkeeper Xing’s secret guards had met her, Mo Xuetong had truly put the matter of Xiuning Workshop aside. The account book was in the charge of Shopkeeper Xing himself. If he met something inconvenient, he could come to King Xuan’s Manor to look for her. Now that Xiuning Workshop existed to train secret guards, Mo Xuetong did not have to keep an eye on them.

Besides, she had never believed in those secret guards!

Mo Xuetong thought that they did not just want to gain approval by boldly kidnapping their master together with others. The secret guards did nothing when she and her mother were in their hard time. When she became Consort Xuan, they appeared in front of her with a way of bolstering their presence. Furthermore, they told her about their existence in that manner. Anyway, Mo Xuetong could not accept them from the bottom of her heart.

The carriage stopped. Mo Ye was about to jump off it when she suddenly turned around, lifted a small slit of the window, and said to Mo Xuetong, “My Lady, it’s the same guy we saw last time.”

Mo Xuetong leaned over and also took a look. She saw Shopkeeper Xing walk a man out. The man looked familiar and when she took a closer look, she realized that he was the man who spoke with Shopkeeper Xing and got rid of them when they tried to follow him. Mo Xuetong shrank inside slightly and only used a finger to pick up a corner of the curtain.

This man must be one of the secret guards, and at first glance, one could tell that he was very astute.

From her angle, Mo Xuetong saw Shopkeeper Xing say something with a gloomy face. The man’s expression was also dark, and he did not even say anything. He swung his sleeves and left. It seemed that they had parted unhappily.
