Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter

Consort Zhao knelt down in front of Empress Dowager with tears on her face. “Your Majesty, my niece is young and immature. I thought it was just a dispute between sisters. Who knew that it would turn out to be like this? It’s my fault that I didn’t teach them well. Your Majesty, please punish me.” Her words were miserable and sad, and she looked gentle, as if she wanted to take all the blame herself.

It should be He Yuxiu who took it. Consort Yu’s face darkened. She knew that this second miss of the He family would marry her younger brother soon. Furthermore, it was said that the two had met in private once before. Her younger brother was very satisfied with the second miss of the He family. However, He Yuxiu’s current situation would indeed implicate Yu Mingyong.

Consort Yu couldn’t help but say, “Your Majesty, there’s something wrong with this matter. It’s obvious that the sachet fell from the elder sister. Why did the younger sister become involved? Sister Zhao, they are both my nieces. You can handle this according to the truth.”

Consort Zhao followed Consort Yu’s words and sighed. “Sister Yu, it’s all my fault. The last time when I saw the sisters, I gave the elder one a big pair of jade bracelets and the younger one a pair of earrings. Maybe because she saw the jade bracelets were better than earrings, Xiu’er was a little upset. And she wanted to strive for a higher status too. She just came to the capital and didn’t how to behave. She must have wanted to embarrass her sister, but she didn’t expect that she’d get into such trouble. It was all because she’s too young and hasn’t seen the world yet.”

Consort Yu liked the way she put it. The girl was young and ignorant; she did not really want to harm her sister. It was just that when you were young, you would try to win. It would not be a big deal if the matter was resolved like this.

Consort Yu turned to Empress Dowager with a relieved smile. It was up to Empress Dowager whether the matter would be big or small. It was all up to Empress Dowager. “Your Majesty, what do you think?”

Since Consort Zhao didn’t really want to put all the blame on He Yuxiu, she could at least help the girl a little.

The Empress Dowager suddenly said coldly, “Take the second miss of the He family away and send her to the Emperor.” Then Empress Dowager suddenly stood up and looked at He Yuxiu. Then Empress Dowager fixed her eyes on Ling Rui’er. Ignoring the two consorts in front of her, Empress Dowager turned around and held the lead palace maid to walk in.

“Is she going to be severely investigated and punished?”

Everyone looked at the two consorts on the high platform in astonishment; they had a few more plans in their minds. Two eunuchs came over, grabbed He Yuxiu’s hand, and dragged her out.

Although He Yuxiu was dragged out, she still turned around and glared at He Yufen. “He Yufen, it’s you. It’s you who framed me. I won’t let you go. I won’t let you go for life…” Her two hands were grabbing something in the air. Her voice was sharp and full of hatred. Her hair was in a mess and her expression was fierce like that of a ghost.

It made people shudder with fear when they saw it.

The voice finally disappeared outside the hall, and there was a strange silence inside.

Mo Xuetong suddenly looked up and met Consort Zhao’s cold eyes. Mo Xuetong did not dodge but faintly smiled. However, her smile was chilly to the bone. Sometimes, everyone knew something, but there was no need to make it clear…

Such a big event happened in Cining Palace. Soon it spread to the whole palace and everyone one was talking about it. Those misses who attended the meeting didn’t have any fancy ideas anymore. They just wanted to get out of the mess and went home in a hurry. However, Mo Xuetong didn’t leave. She went back to the imperial garden and stayed there for a while, saying that she would wait for Feng Yuran to pick her up and go back together with him.

Mo Ye said that she was going to find Feng Yuran and went to Caiwei Palace quietly. She left behind something and secretly returned to the imperial garden. She only said that she could not find King Xuan in a short time. Mo Xuetong had no choice but to bring her two maidservants out of the palace.

They had just walked halfway when they heard an angry bellow from behind them. “Mo Xuetong, stop.” They turned around and saw Ling Rui’er rushing over angrily.

Mo Xuetong stopped and gently asked, “Sister-in-law, what can I do for you?”
