Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter

The old maid looked as if she felt bad for Mo Yan and pitied her. She shook her head and wiped the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief.

Mo Xuetong watched the performance by You Yue’e and her maid. Her bright eyes grew cold. You Yue’e still did not forget to blame her for the death of a maid at a time like this. Even though Feng Yulei was standing by the side and did not seem to be moving at all, his eyes turned to look at them. His focus was on Mo Yan and he seemed thoughtful. The fake anger on his expression lessened as well.

It was such a pity, but King Yan’s Manor was destined to be embarrassed today.

The physician was put in a tight spot and could only shake his head and said, “No, the maid is two months pregnant. She’s about to miscarry.” He had been forced to say that. This was truly a scandal for the royal family. Fortunately, there were so many people who heard him. King Yan wouldn’t kill him to shut him up, would he!

The physician heaved a secret sigh of relief.

Everyone started chattering when they heard what the physician said.

Everyone turned to cast suspicious looks at Feng Yulei. The Second Consort’s personal maid was pregnant. So, of course, the first person they suspected was the master of the King’s Manor. The back courtyard of the King’s Manor was a very strict place and the Second Consort was second only to the First Consort. The only people whom the Second Consort could meet would be the women of the back courtyard. And the only person who could impregnate the Second Consort’s personal maid could only be the master of the back courtyard.

Then it must be King Yan’s child! There was immediately a great commotion with that revelation. Everyone turned to look at King Yan and Consort Yan. The two of them looked so furious they were about to explode. However, the gritted their teeth and swallowed their anger. Making a fuss was not beneficial to them at this point.

Originally, Feng Yulei and You Yue’e were of the same mind. It was a fact that King Yan’s Manor was involved in a scandal but they had to drag King Xuan’s Manor down with them and destroy their reputation as well. They wouldn’t be put in a spot in front of the Emperor then. That was why they wanted the physician to take a look at Mo Yan. If she were dead, Mo Xuetong would be the culprit that had beaten a loyal maid to death.

Consort Xuan was vicious and cruel. This would mean that a Second Consort escaping from King Yan’s Manor would not draw as much wrath from the Emperor.

However, they did not expect things to end like that. Feng Yulei could not help but secretly curse You Yuecheng for being so nosy. Why would she get a man to impregnate Mo Xueqiong’s maid just to make use of Mo Xueqiong? They had to pay for that now. Feng Yulei could not suppress the fury he felt. He could not stay there any longer.

He harrumphed hatefully and coldly. Then, he flung his sleeves behind him and walked into the temple, all the while clenching his teeth.

Mo Yan was pregnant? Mo Xueqiong’s mind suddenly cleared up. Her hair was in a mess and she looked like a madwoman. Others might not know, but how could she be unaware? Mo Yan was in the back courtyard of the house and would not have any chance to interact with others. She did not believe that it was King Yan who impregnated Mo Yan. What kind of person was Feng Yulei? How could he possibly be attracted to the average-looking Mo Yan?

However, if it was not King Yan, who else could it be from the back courtyard?

She thought of how she had plotted whole-heartedly for that person, wanting to live out the rest of her life with him quietly. However, he had been engaging in illicit activities with her maid! Mo Xueqiong was filled with hatred and sorrow. She looked up at the people around her. Their gazes were filled with disdain and a few other ladies were glaring at her with disgust.

Mo Xueqiong felt a wave of despair crashing down on her.

That person had lied to her too. He was with her personal maid when she was helping him wholeheartedly. Mo Yan had also lied to her. Mo Xueqiong had treated Mo Yan wholeheartedly as well and had shared everything with her. She even promised to find Mo Yan a good husband in the future. But Mo Yan had lied to her.
