Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter (PART 1)

Chapter 154

Chapter 154 Who Would Become the Crown Prince?

"Yes, go. Be careful in the palace." Mo Huawen waved his hand and got onto his horse. Then, he turned around to say to Mo Xuetong, "Tong'er, you don't need to pick any clothes or accessories. You just have to clean up a little. Things are different in the palace compared to at home. Even though you can't do everything that you want, don't make the Mo Manor look weak."

Mo Xuetong was still in the mourning period and could not dress up too fancily. Mo Huawen considered Tong'er's character and how she was fearful sometimes and was worried that she might be bullied. That was why he had taken care to tell her that worriedly.

"Yes, rest assured, Father. Eldest Sister would be there too. Even if Tong'er doesn't know anything, or doesn't understand anything, Eldest Sister would definitely help me, right, Eldest Sister?" Mo Xuetong smiled at Mo Xuemin sweetly.

She already understood!

What happened earlier was a plot for Mo Xuemin to enter the palace!

Mo Xuemin wanted to enter the palace like that. It was indeed a good method that would not make their father annoyed at her for leaving the manor by herself, and would also make him feel as if he owed her. In this simple move, their father had to agree to let her attend the banquet. No matter how one looked at it, Mo Xuemin had done this perfectly.

However, how did she contact King Chu? Mo Xuemin had ended up in King Chu's hands at the last banquet. If King Chu had pitied her just one bit, Mo Xuemin would not have ended up in that state. Up until now, she still did not know if King Chu's actions today were just a coincidence or something else. But no matter what, this was not something a girl who rarely left her house could possibly do. This was such an exquisitely crafted plan that Mo Xuemin could not possibly come up with no matter how sly she was.

Was it Qin Yufeng? Did he have something to do with this?

Mo Xuetong's hands, which were hidden in her sleeves, could not help but clench tightly.

Ever since she returned to the capital, Qin Yufeng rarely visited the Mos because the Qins had moved to the capital as well. Even if he visited, he would visit her father, or chat with Mo Yufeng. He rarely entered the inner courtyard and seemed like the perfect gentleman who adhered to customs.

However, just because he did not appear did not mean that Mo Xuetong was not wary of him!

Or perhaps, she remembered her past life too clearly. The figure standing behind Mo Xuemin made her feel terrified and suffocated. Every time Qin Yufeng appeared in the Mo Manor, Mo Xuetong would watch him closely and find out his schedule. Sometimes, she would ponder upon and dissect a certain statement that he made. However, he did not seem to have acted since her arrival in the capital.

It had always been Mo Xuemin and Auntie Fang who had done the scheming. But now, it felt different. This simple and effective method was definitely not thought up by Mo Xuemin. Did he act because he could not bear it any longer? Why was he doing this? If he did not like Mo Xuemin that way, why was he helping her? What did he want?

Or perhaps Mo Xuemin could help him get something?

All the questions weighed down on her and she felt as if she could not breathe. She felt as if there was a large, endless, dark sea in front of her. There was a massive wave that rose into the sky and she was but just a tiny boat that had been abandoned in the waves. She did not know where the end was and did not know when the eternal darkness would come.

"Miss, Miss!" Mo Ye practiced martial arts and was the first to notice that something was wrong with Mo Xuetong. She reached out to hold her hand and realized that Mo Xuetong's hand was clenched tightly into a fist and that her hands were slick with cold sweat. She called out softly and worriedly while pushing Qi into Mo Xuetong.
