Chapter 44 - framing Mo Youyou
Third Madame held up her skirt and hurried forward to shout: "Master! "Old master!"
The leading man jumped down from his horse and walked in front of Li Rong with a few large strides, then looked at Li Rong with a doting expression, "Xiao Rong, have you been well for the past few days?"
Li Rong covered her face and snorted. She nodded to Mo Sheng: "Good, good."
Mo Sheng looked at the other concubines and saw that they were all crying tears of joy. He sighed lightly, signaling them to return to the residence first.Besides Mo Youyou, Mo Li and Mo Yan were the two most favored daughters of General Mo"s Residence.
Seeing that his father had returned, Mo Yan rushed to Mo Sheng like a child from the crowd. He hugged Mo Sheng"s st.u.r.dy waist tightly and sobbed, "Father, you"re finally back. Wuuuuu ~ Ran"er misses you. "
Mo Sheng caressed Mo Yan"s soft hair with a pained heart, then looked at the crowd and saw that her most beloved daughter, Mo Youyou, was no longer present, and curiously asked: "Where"s Xiao Jiu?"
A stern look flashed across Mo Yan"s eyes, she knew that her father would ask about Mo Youyou. Pretending to be innocent, she looked at Mo Sheng and said:
"Father, Ninth Sister went with Prince Jing for a long time but still did not return. Mother sent someone to invite her, but she could not return either."
After saying that, she snuggled into Mo Sheng"s embrace, not daring to look at him.Seeing that, Mo Li walked forward and said: "Daddy, Nona has been possessed. A few days ago, when Li"er was resting in the resting room, Mo Li tied Li"er up and sank her into the hot spring, almost killing her. If it wasn"t for Fourth Sister calling for help, Li"er was afraid that she would never see her father again … "Howl, howl ~ ~"
After Mo Sheng heard his two daughters" words, he was stunned for a moment. His face sank as he said coldly, "Go back first! One by one! "
Mo Li and Mo Yan replied in unison, "Yes, Daddy."Just like that, under Mo Sheng"s orders, they entered Mo"s Residence"s residence.
In the Great Hall of Mo"s Residence, two rows of seats were already filled up to the brim with Mo Sheng"s aunts. Mo Sheng quickly changed into a clean set of silk clothes and sat at the main seat, accompanied by Mo Li and Mo Yan who sat beside him.In the main hall, no one dared to make a sound.
Seeing that, Mo Sheng"s thick voice had a trace of intimidating power, "Speak! This old man has not been here for the past few days, what has happened in the Residence! "Third Madame glanced at Second Madame. Hua Huilan had lived under Li Rong"s oppression for all these years, and for her own daughter, she had no choice but to swallow her anger.
Seeing Li Rong give her a meaningful glance, she knew that she was going to be the first one to take the lead again.
He stood up slowly, walked to the center of the hall and bowed to Mo Sheng, then said softly, "Master, not long after you left the house, Xiao Jiu ran over to Ran"er"s bamboo garden and caused a ruckus. The bamboo forest that was destroyed by Ran"er was poisoned. Fortunately, Prince Xiang, who came to visit, met him and saved him. "
Hearing Hua Huilan"s words, Mo Sheng"s face became uglier and uglier. He reminded her coldly, "Continue!"
Hua Huilan"s body tensed up as she continued:"Because Prince Xiang saved Ran"er, Xiao Jiu was framed as having relations with Prince Xiang. Prince Xiang did not fuss about it with Xiao Jiu, but Xiao Jiu was jealous, and drank the poison she gave Ran"er in front of Prince Xiang. "
Speaking to this point, when Hua Huilan saw that Mo Sheng"s expression was so cold that he looked like he was about to kill someone, she was too scared to continue.
Third Madame had carried these things on her back very early on, because they knew that when Mo Sheng returned, he would definitely investigate the matter of Mo Youyou leaving Mo"s Residence"s place.
This time, not only did Third Madame have to make it so that Mo Youyou would never be able to return to Mo"s Residence, she had to become a shameless woman who was scolded by everyone. Only when Mo Youyou completely gave up on doing so, would her daughter Mo Yan unrestrainedly sit in the position of Princess Prince Xiang"s Manor.Hua Huilan stood in the middle of the great hall with her legs slightly weak, beads of sweat trickling down her forehead.
Mo Sheng looked at her suspiciously, and bellowed: "Continue talking!"
Hua Huilan trembled, her voice growing softer and softer. "Xiao Jiu consumed a poison, so Third Sister called the imperial physician to treat her, but because the poison was too strong, Xiao Jiu died before she could even wait for the imperial physician."At that moment, when Mo Sheng heard Hua Huilan"s words, he was so angry that his fists were tightly resting on the armrest of the chair. How could Youyou use poison to frame her own sister! How could he commit suicide by taking poison!?
Even though she wasn"t his flesh and blood, he had watched her grow up. She shouldn"t be such a mischievous child! He listened to Hua Huilan and ordered her to continue.
Because of his nervousness, Hua Huilan couldn"t help but wipe the sweat off his face and continue: "Later on, we ordered someone to carry Xiao Jiu to the cemetery … cremation. However, during the journey, she had accidentally flipped over the carriage and thus, Xiao Jiu was able to fall into the fecal drain. "
After saying that, Mo Yan suddenly interrupted: "Yes, Father, Ran"er was present at that time. Ran"er originally wanted to go to Orchid Garden with Xiao Cui, but who would have known that someone said that Xiao Jiu"s body fell into the fecal drain, so Ran"er called for the servants to help him. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jiu had woken up all of a sudden. She tricked Ran"er into getting closer to her, but she suddenly reached out her hand and dragged him into the fecal drain … "Hm ~"
As he said that, Mo Yan"s stomach rolled, and thinking of how he was dragged into the fecal drain by Mo Youyou, he felt a wave of disgust.
Seeing her daughter like this, Mo Sheng"s heart ached. What happened to his Xiao Jiu? How could he do such an outrageous thing? When Hua Huilan was explaining, he had some doubts, but seeing his fourth daughter like this, it did not seem like she was lying.What Mo Yan said after, was indeed not a lie. She was indeed tricked by Mo Youyou in front of her and threw into the fecal drain.
Seeing Mo Yan cry with grievance, Mo Sheng held her hand and consoled her with a pained heart: "Ran"er, don"t be sad. If it"s really Xiao Jiu"s fault at this time, father will definitely punish you severely!"
"Father, you don"t know, but Xiao Jiu was doing this on purpose. She had clearly drank poison, yet she didn"t die, and she had even pushed Ran"er into the fecal drain, almost killing her. Mother only came to Fragrant Garden to ask her about it, but she actually followed Prince Jing and left the manor, leaving without a trace. I have to uphold justice for Ran"er and Second Sister. "Howl, howl ~ ~"After he finished speaking, Mo Yan began to cry sorrowfully. Mo Sheng"s heart suddenly softened as he cried. He looked at Mo Yan lovingly, and continued to coax her.
He was like a completely different person compared to the General who was filled with a vicious and cold aura.Seeing that, the other aunts also stood up and started to recount what happened to Xiao Jiu.
Mo Sheng looked at the crowd and thought, "Could it be because this old woman has spoiled that girl too much all these years, that caused her to act so boldly and rashly today? A person who was betrothed to Prince Xiang actually dared to follow Prince Jing! This time, even General"s Estate will not be able to return! "
Mo Sheng gritted his teeth and said coldly: "All of you, step down! Little Rong, stay behind! ""Yes, master."
"Yes, Father."
Seeing that everyone had left, Mo Sheng glanced at the silent Li Rong. He asked, "Xiao Rong, how do you think we should deal with this?"
Li Rong walked to Mo Sheng"s side, "Master, Xiao Jiu is only a child."
"Sigh... I"ve always treated her like a naive child, but you see what she"s done. If it"s really as they say, this old man really should think carefully about the marriage between Xiao Jiu and Prince Xiang! "
