Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter (PART 1)

Chapter 16: The Fight Between Sisters of Qingwei Garden

After her observations last night, Mo Xuetong could tell that her father had something against her. His eyes were filled with some suspicion every time he looked at her dotingly. This confused Mo Xuetong. What had happened when her mother died for her father, who seemed to love her very much so, to abandon her?

The incident had happened at Cloud City, and Mo Xuetong doubted that she would be able to find out quickly in the capital. However, Mo Xuetong felt that it definitely had something to do with Auntie Fang.

Her mother had been weak since having her. She had been in charge of the household but in the last few years of her life, Auntie Fang had almost been wholly in charge of it. No one else but Auntie Fang could do anything, and only Auntie Fang alone could have done it without anyone in the manor finding out.

When she thought of that, her eyes grew cold. As long as Auntie Fang wanted the position as the matriarch of the Mo family, then she would definitely strike again...

The opportunity was right in front of her. From her knowledge of her past life, she knew that something was about to happen. She would just wait quietly for Auntie Fang to strike, and then, chop her hands off while she reached out...

Mo Xuetong ate breakfast that Mo Yu served. She sat down for a rest and then heard a gentle voice coming from the door.

"Third sister still hasn't woken up?"

Mo Xuemin lifted the curtains and entered with a smile and her personal maid, Mo Jin.

"Elder sister, you're here. Why don't you come in? I've embarrassed myself in front of you. I slept late last night and the journey here had been long. I was overtired and could not fall asleep so I woke up late." Mo Xuetong held her head and smiled faintly as if she was embarrassed and apologetic for waking up late.

Mo Xuemin was surprised when she saw that Mo Xuetong had not tried to do anything and was completely different from the sharp tongue girl that she was at the entrance of the city yesterday. She sized Mo Xuetong up and then smiled and said, "Third sister, the weather is good today. Shall we take a walk in the garden? It must have been hard on you to stay in Cloud City for the past year. Since you're in the capital now, we sisters should get closer to each other."

Get closer? Indeed, no matter in the past life or this life, she had to get closer to Mo Xuemin.

Her heart felt cold but the smile on her face grew even brighter. "Elder sister is right. I haven't been home for the past year and could not be filial to Father. It's been hard on you, sister."

"We are sisters, so why would you say that?" Mo Xuemin said with a smile.

"Elder sister, you really care for your relationships with your sisters. But I wonder if she appreciates it." There was a burst of arrogant laughter coming from behind them. "Elder sister, no matter how much you care for her, she might not think much of you. I heard that she refused your good will at the entrance of the city."

Mo Xueqiong appeared at the door, hiding her laugh behind a handkerchief.

This made Mo Xuemin feel even more awkward. She had arranged for a few young ladies to come to the Mo manor yesterday, but all of them sent missives today to say that they were busy. Mo Xuemin grew angry and her eyes glittered with hatred. However, a gentle smile appeared on her face the next moment as she said, "Fourth sister, those are just minor things."

"So it's fourth sister. You came at just the right time. Take a walk with us?" Mo Xuetong asked with a smile.

"I'm not as fortunate as you to be doted on wherever I go. You've only just arrived and you got eldest sister to accompany you. As your younger sister, I dare not trouble you to accompany me." Mo Xueqiong gave her the stinkeye and said arrogantly.
