Chapter 107 Trio initiates a devious plan“Aunt!” Yu Sirong was stunned by Mdm Yu’s angry chiding. She blinked her eyes innocently. all while holding her handkerchief with her two fingers, unable to react to the situation. For an instance, she dared not make a big fuss anymore.

Seeing that Mdm Yu was truly infuriated, Mdm Chen went forth to talk to her daughter while pacifying Mdm Yu. She knew what her daughter was thinking as the Qin family was indeed the best match for Yu Sirong. For now, they still cannot offend Mdm Yu and they could only endure even if Mdm Yu decided to scold Yu Sirong harshly.

Mdm Chen had it all planned out in her heart, as this old woman would be forced to admit their relationship soon, when her daughter and Qin Yuxuan had tasted the forbidden fruit.

All these individuals had their own plans and considerations as they left the scene. No one bothered to help Mo Lan up from the ground.

When everyone had left, Mo Lan finally rose up, stumbling by the wall.

Mo Lan did not leave as she carefully examined every single corner in the hall that would be a good hiding place. Pursing her lips, she even searched behind the Buddhist statue and pushed it disrespectfully, afraid that there might be a trap door within. Her lady had entered the hall and should not have left. She could not figure out how she could disappear suddenly as she became more and more panicked, with cold forehead sweat emerging from her smooth forehead.

Could her lady have met with an accident?

Originally, she believed that there must be a hidden trap door or a good hiding place, but that did not seem to be the case now. Why would her lady still not emerge when all these people were gone. Could it really be that she was met with troubles? Thinking about what could have happened, Mo Lan was pale with fright. After all, she was only a teenager despite her usual composure. Shivering, she called out in a low voice, “My lady, lady!”

“Mo Lan… I am here.” A weak voice accompanied by a soft cough emerged while Mo Lan was still pushing Buddhist statues. She turned around in surprise and joy when she heard Mo Xuetong’s voice. Indeed, she saw Mo Xuetong leaning by the pillar in the hall, her face completely pale. even though she was smiling, her discolored lips were shivering. Her hands by the pillar shivered as she composed herself.

What was horrifying to Mo Lan was the red stain on her master’s white dress.

“My lady…” Mo Lan rushed over in fright, supporting Mo Xuetong. She was eager to find out what had happened when Mo Xuetong stopped her, breathing heavily. “It’s alright, it’s a small injury. I am fine.”

“Go back first… I will be back soon.” Mo Xuetong forced these words out.

“But, how can you return like this?” Mo Lan was anxious as she had just discovered another scar on Mo Xuetong’s neck. The bloody scar was especially apparent in her white skin, frightening her.

“Lady…”

“Go back first, I will bring your lady back.” A male voice suddenly appeared from behind her, making Mo Lan shiver in shock. Turning around, she saw a handsome man with a pair of shimmering purple eyes that shone with coldness and malice, completely different from his usual lazy demeanor. One could not help but be intimidated by his look.

King Xuan!

“Mo Lan, go back first. Just explain that I ran towards the back garden and you cannot find me… walk for a while in the back garden and I will be back.” Mo Xuetong’s cold and determined gaze was fixated ahead, with hatred shown in her watery pupils. She had a clear understanding of those who directed the show just now.

Obviously, she could not just leave the Buddhist hall now as Mdm Yu would have left someone here to keep an eye on her even if Yu Sirong did not think of that. When she appeared here, all the blame could be cast on her. Thus, Mo Lan must leave, pretending that she never saw her.

Seeing that King Xuan was beside her lady, Mo Lan looked at Mo Xuetong with concern. However, she understood that this is the best solution and thus retreated, with a blind confidence that King Xuan had the ability to deal with this matter.

“Mo Xuetong, do you need me to avenge you?” Feng Yuran looked at the scars on her arms and her neck and became even angrier. He went forth to help her and realized that despite her cold and calm demeanor, she was shivering out of fright. Knowing that she was really frightened, his attitude softened.

“Thank you, King. I will avenge myself…” There was a slight shiver in her cold and determined voice.

Feng Yuran looked at the pale and delicate face with shock. Her eyes were no longer as clear as the spring water, instead, it burnt like flames. She had forced herself to be strong, making her even more pitiful.

Knowing her persistence, Feng Yuran removed his anger and explained, “I will help you if you failed in your attempt.”

“No, I will take revenge myself!” Mo Xuetong struggled to stand up straight but the loss of blood had made her fall and faint. Feng Yuran rushed forth and hugged her in his arms. He took off his cloak and draped it over her, dashing out of the hall without uttering a single word. She needed medication immediately.

After Mo Lan walked one round in the back garden, she rushed to the guest room. Mo Xuetong had already finished her medication, and was resting on her bed.

When Qin Yuxuan came over, Mo Xuetong had just woke up.

The reason why Qin Yuxuan came late was that he had only just received the news. He returned home to settle the belongings of Mdm Yu, Mdm Qin, and Mo Xuetong after his arrival to Qingliang Temple. Furthermore, a friend came to visit him, making his return to the temple late. After packing up his belongings, he went to pay respects to his grandmaster before entering Mdm Yu’s room.

Even though Mdm Yu was his nominal mother, he did not recognize her at all.

Mdm Yu was in the room with Mdm Chen and Yu Sirong. The three were together, full of anxiety on their faces. Qin Yuxuan went forth to greet but did not intend to stay. He was never interested in Yu Sirong and thus would not pay any attention to her. After that, he decided to see Mo Xuetong.

“Cousin Xuan!” Seeing that Qin Yuxuan was about to go, Yu Sirong went forth and greeted him. She no longer dared to make a big fuss as she glanced at Mdm Yu secretly. Holding her handkerchief, he lowered his head and dared not speak. It was impossible to conceal the matter today but she knew that Qin Yuxuan would be angry at her if it was discovered. After all, she had always been ladylike in front of Qin Yuxuan.

Not only her aunt can suppress Qin Yuxuan’s anger!

Receiving the signal of help from Yu Sirong, Mdm Yu coughed slightly, asking with a smile. “Xuan’er, have you went to see Tong’er yet.”

“Not yet, I went to greet Grandmother first. She reminded me to see Sister Tong later.” Qin Yuxuan nodded and responded calmly, with a few chilly simmers emerging from his eyes. He came from where Mdm Qin was. Even though Mdm Qin didn’t speak much, he noticed that Mdm Qin seemed to be hiding something from him regarding Sister Tong. She merely told him to go and find her later and reminded him to take care of her.

Mdm Yu mentioned his sister Tong as well.

He did not know what happened but he subconsciously frowned.

“Your Sister Tong was frightened just now. I heard that she fell at the slope around the walls of the temple. She should be resting now and there is no need for you to greet her so early. Sirong was finding Tong’er just now and had made your grandmother angry.” Mdm Yu spoke casually, focusing on unimportant details, and neglecting the part where Yu Sirong deliberately started this conflict.

Qin Yuxuan’s expression did not change but he was skeptical as no one ever goes to the slope at the corner of the temper. Even though the side door was open, only monks in the temple would be aware of it. He was curious to why Sister Tong will go there and what had happened there, how she found the remote door and how she fall down the slope.

“Cousin Xuan, I could not find Sister Tong and was anxious, thus ran around to find her. Even though I didn’t find her, I found her servant, but Old Madam blamed me for being nosy… I was wrong too for being too anxious, and thus did not consider everyone’s perspective…” Under the hint of Mdm yu, Yu Sirong chose to say things that were beneficial to her, replying timidly. She raised up her head, with tear stains on her face. She indeed looked pitiful!

She didn’t blame Mdm Qin at all but had her own grievances and sadness perfectly shown. Mdm Chen nodded her head in approval.

Seeing that Sister Tong’s matter concerned Yu Sirong too, Qin Yuxuan glanced at her coldly and did not reply. Instead, she replied calmly to Mdm Yu. “Mother, Grandmother wanted me to see Sister Tong. Perhaps she was concerned about her injury and wanted me to provide some medication for her. I shall leave first, and come back later to relay the conditions of her injuries to Mother and Grandmother.”

He didn’t even glance at the nervous Yu Sirong before leaving, bowing only to Mdm Chen and Mdm Yu.

“Aunt, look at cousin!” Seeing that Qin Yuxuan ignored her, Yu Sirong sobbed and pounced towards Mdm Chen.

“No worries, your cousin cannot choose to ignore you later.” Mdm Yu smiled eerily. As long as her plan succeeds, Qin Yuxuan will have to accept the situation.

“Sister, what about the little girl of Mo family.” Mdm Chen waved her hand, making all retreat. “Since we didn’t succeed this time, things will be more difficult!”

Mdm Yu knew she was referring to Auntie Fang. The three of them had the plan to eliminate Mo Xuetong. Auntie Fang agreed to find a precious item from Luo Xia’s dowry to gift Mdm Yu and Mdm Chen. They agreed immediately and replied confidently.

They did not expect the plan to fail so miserably. Not only did they not harm Mo Xuetong, but they also made Mdm Qin dislike Yu Sirong, making the matter much worse. Mdm Chen knew what her daughter was thinking and was anxious now, wanting to give up. Even though money was important, the marriage and well-being of her daughter was more important.

“Sister-in-law, it is alright to give up now. But that will only harm my niece Sirong. Xuan’er only has the girl from Mo family in his heart. Sirong will never succeed no matter how much she loves him.” Mdm Yu laughed coldly as she knew that it will be impossible for Mdm Chen to give up now.

Giving up Mdm Yu’s support now meant that Yu Sirong and Qin Yuxuan would never be together!

Seeing that Mdm Yu was angry, Mdm Chen understood the severity and laughed. “What are you talking about? The combination of our efforts meant that there will be no differences. The girl from Mo family must be eliminated but it would be difficult to deal with her.”

Not only did Yu Sirong think that the plan today was complete and infallible, Mdm Yu and Mdm Chen believed so too. However, Mo Xuetong did not appear in the hall and the rouge that was sent inside disappeared as well, making Mdm Chen worried. She was educated and knew that something was amiss.
