Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter (PART 1)

Chapter 178

Chapter 178 To Whom is the Chaos Beneficial

It was already late at night and it was dark. Furthermore, Mo Ye and Mo Yu intentionally blocked the others from seeing Mo Xuetong. As such, no one had noticed. Mo Huawen had returned to the manor early and had already slept. The other two concubines were also in their courtyards and had gone to bed early. Nanny Ming came to visit despite the cold but Mo Lan stopped her with a smile and asked that she turn back.

Then, Mo Lan and Mo Yu went to bed. Her master had appeared inside the room not long after. She heard her master's voice. Mo Ye, who had kept an ear out, dragged her soles against the floor and went to the door.

"I'm fine. Do you know how to deal with what happens tomorrow?" Feng Yuran's cold voice could be heard.

"I do." Mo Ye lowered her head respectfully outside the room.

"Take care of her."

"Yes!"

Mo Ye stood outside the door silently. She did not hear anything for a long while and knew that her master had left. Then, she exhaled slowly. Her master was really scary today. She could sense the suffocating sharpness even outside the room. She wiped off the sweat gathered on her forehead and pushed the doors open softly.

It was quiet inside. The windows were tightly shut. It was evident that he had closed the windows after he left. Mo Ye approached the bed and lit the candles by the bed. Then, she blew and extinguished the match. There was a young girl lying on the bed quietly beneath the flickering candlelight.

She was delicate and weak, looking like a lone plum blossom pressed under the snow. Her beautiful face was pale and fragile. Beneath her usual calmness and wits, she was but just a girl of 13. No matter how intelligent she was usually, how could she not be tired and fearful after such an incident?

It was fortunate that her master was there this time. Or she really could not image the consequences.

She gently placed Mo Xuetong's hand back under the blankets where it had escaped from. Then, she walked to the windows and closed the windows once more from the inside. She extinguished the candle and closed the door behind her. There was not much time until dawn. She had to take this time to sleep for it would definitely be busy in the Mo Manor tomorrow.

While she could sleep peacefully, someone could not fall asleep.

At the same time, in King Chu, Feng Yuxuan's luxurious bedroom. Feng Yuxuan was dressed in white. He could not be as calm and composed as he usually was in front of others. He picked up a jade seal beside him and threw it away forcefully. The crisp clatter scared the counselor who knelt in front of him. The wine cup in his hand felt onto the ground with a clatter.

"Tell me what happened. Why did those changes happen to our plan? Sima Lingyun is so stupid. He can't even handle a weak girl. What else can he do? You always tell me that Sima Lingyun is a talent of great use and that he is vicious. Why is he weaker than a woman? He's been stabbed bloody all over and even got caught with that woman?" Feng Yuxuan did not have to pretend to be gentle and gracious because he was in his own home. His expression was dark as he yelled angrily. He kicked the man who looked like a steward kneeling before him.

How could he not be angry? His plans, which had been perfect, had been completely derailed in just mere moments. The situation, which had been to his advantaged had completely spiraled out of control. He felt his forehead twitch when he heard that Sima Lingyun had failed and had almost kicked Mo Xuetong into a tree. How could he control his anger?

"Your Highness..." The man wanted to say something. Feng Yuran looked at him coldly. He shrunk back and swallowed what he was about to say. He did not dare to say anything else. It had been his idea to look for Sima Lingyun, but he was not the only one who had given the suggestion. His Highness had even claimed that the plan was good. Why was he the one being blamed when the plan took a nosedive?
