Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter

“Nanny Ming, did Mother know that she cannot be healed by any medicine? Is that why she did not get a physician to heal her?” Mo Xuetong put down the sachet she was holding and asked Nanny Ming lightly. The sun shone through the gauze curtains. The faint white light shone on her beautiful face, making her seem pale and sad.

Nanny Ming hesitated.

“I remember you telling me that you will tell me anything if I asked you. Does that still count?” Mo Xuetong looked at Nanny Ming’s face. There was a warm and gentle smile on the corners of her lips. However, the smile was a little cold.

“Miss, I… I…”

“Don’t worry. Even no physician can cure me, I will not give up on myself. Being able to see everyone happy is already a blessing!” Mo Xuetong said. She looked up and outside at the window. The trees were green and filled with life. Mo Xuetong sighed lightly. She really felt that she had lived a happy life!

There were no betrayals nor lies after her rebirth. Mo Lan, Mo Yu, and the others were all fine. Feng Yuran also loved and doted on her. If she died now, she would only feel regret and nothing else.

She would also feel pained and sad when she thought of what Feng Yuran would do if she were to die young. She would be sad about that.

She was worried that he would be too cold, or too warm. She was worried that he would be sad if she died.

She had thought of all that, but there was no other way. She still felt that heaven had been kind to her. She had such a doting husband who loved her so. She honestly felt that it was worth it.

However, she wanted more. She wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. She even wanted to have a few children and to live with him happily ever after. However, these were all things that she kept in her heart. A flower would not bloom forever, and a person would not always live well. Perhaps, she was unable to live long because she was too blessed.

When she thought of Feng Yuran’s beautiful and gentle face, her heart hurt. It was as if something had torn apart. The pain made her feel as if she could not breathe. Mo Xuetong only realized then that she could not behave indifferently in the face of death. Everything had changed after her rebirth. In the past, all she had wanted was revenge.

She had already gotten her revenge!

Mo Xuemin had already turned into ashes together with the century-old courtyard of Duke Zhenguo’s Manor. Sima Lingyun was tossed out of Sima Lingyun because of his debts. The Duchess had died from anger and no one knew what happened to Sima Lingyun’s younger sister. The two concubines, Yun Yiqiu and Lan Xinru had long run away with their money.

All that should have been returned had been returned! It was as if it did not matter whether she died or not!

However, she did not want to die now. Furthermore, she wanted to live blissfully with Feng Yuran forever. Did the heavens blame her for being too greedy? Was that why she had to die?

“Nanny, sometimes, I wonder why Mother was willing to leave me behind. I was so young. How could she just leave like that? Did she not love me enough? Or was she too weak and not know how to protect herself? She could not shield me from the storms. But now, I realize that Mother couldn’t not die. She had to die.” Mo Xuetong’s eyes were red. She looked up slightly and bit her lips.

She did not like that she was too weak. That feeling reminded her of her tragic past life. It would make her hate herself!

“Miss, it’s not that. Madam loved you. She truly loved you. She wanted to leave but she couldn’t…She really couldn’t!” Nanny Ming could not help but cry when she saw how hard Mo Xuetong was trying to appear strong and smile. She knelt down forcefully in front of Mo Xuetong, tears streaking down her face. Her wrinkled face was filled with pain.

“Nanny Ming, you once told me that I will die a tragic death if you were to tell me everything. If I tell you now that I will indeed die a tragic death, do you think that Mother’s heart would ache for me?” Mo Xuetong tried to lift the corners of her lips to make herself appear warm and calm. Tears slowly rolled down from the corners of her eyes.
