Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter

There was no one talking in the room and Mo Lan went out to wash the blood-stained on her sleeve. The wind blew by the window and howled. By the window was the desolate sound of the wind, which highlit the peace and warmth inside. Almost subconsciously, Mo Xuetong uncomfortably stood up after wrapping his wrist.

Back on her feet, Mo Xuetong gently bowed again. “Thank Sir Bai for saving my life.” Moments ago, she saw it clearly that the arrowed was aimed at her, but he quickly lifted up and took the hit for her.

“There is no need to be so polite. You were involved because of me. It’ll be lucky for me if you won’t blame me.” Bai Yihao smiled peacefully and tore down the sleeves which had been torn apart by Mo Xuetong. “I didn’t expect you to have such strength. I thought it was a maid who was used to doing heavy chores!”

He casually tore down a strip and tossed it on the ground.

Mo Xuetong stood still and couldn’t help looking at that blood-stained strip. Nobody would know it was once a part of his superb clothes! She was really worried then and even dared to tear his sleeve apart. Mo Xuetong was a little timid and annoyed.

It was really annoying. She was in a hurry.

She answered angrily while she depressedly glared at him. “Sir Bai is so delicate and certainly can’t be compared to a suburban girl like me. If Sir Bai really gets wounded because of me, I’ll be guilty for my entire life and do some heavy chores to expiate for my guilt.”

She didn’t know which of these words pleased him, but he suddenly started to smile and picked a cup of tea on the table. He took a dip in an extremely elegant gesture. He narrowed his dark eyes. Then they lit up and he meaningfully looked at Mo Xuetong. “Your mother was the legitimate daughter of Fu General. How would she marry your father?”

The question was so abrupt that Mo Xuetong couldn’t catch up with him right away. She blinked her watery eyes and looked at him. She didn’t understand why he suddenly came up with this while it seemed to have nothing to do with him.

Mo Xuetong replied coldly. “My mother marrying my father was definitely arranged. As for the other things, I don’t know about it.” The coldness appeared in her eyes again, and grimness filled her face.

Bai Yihao smiled naturally, “I have an aunt who has disappeared for almost thirty years. When she was gone, I was about one year old. My mother told me to look for her, but I haven’t even though I’ve been in Great Qin for so many years. Today I suddenly remembered your mother seemed to be of the same age as my aunt and wanted to have a try.” He used his uninjured hand to pour a cup of tea for Mo Xuetong and brought it to her.

Bai Yihao still smiled gently but it somehow let Mo Xuetong realize the loneliness in his words, “This tea is from the Qin Kingdom which is my mother’s favorite. Every time she drinks this kind of tea, she’ll tell me about the two missing aunts and shed tears.”

His mother was the Princess Royal Yunruo in the Qin Kingdom who was the powerful Empress in the Yan Kingdom? She should be having the greatest power. And why was there sadness and loneliness at the bottom of his eyes when he mentioned his mother? Besides Princess Royal Yunruo definitely had sisters, but she never heard about a missing princess. Moreover, Princess Royal Yunruo was the legitimate daughter of the Empress Dowager and surely had no blood sisters.

The Empress Dowager only had a daughter, who was Princess Royal Yunruo, and a son, who was King Ning. Princess Royal married far away and King Ning died young. Therefore, she didn’t have any blood sister. Bai Yihao’s words were truly strange.

“How did your aunt disappear? Why didn’t I ever hear of it?” She took the tea over and tasted it. It was quite different from those she used to drank and was tastier. Maybe it was a present from the palace. She thought and understood it. Princess Royal Yunruo grew up in the palace and was used to the presents in the palace which were definitely different from those she drank.

Bai Yihao’s face was tender. He slightly lifted his eyebrows and his eyes became cold. “There are things which can’t be learned from the rumors in the palace. It can be true when the rumors certify it to be false and it can be false when the rumors certify it to be true. If the two aunts were still alive, one of them should be thirty-one years old while the other should be thirty-three years old.”
