Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter

Since they met, Mo Yufeng who had treated her coldly looked at her thin body and asked with concerns, “Third miss, how are you doing recently? Are you still taking the medicine? The medicine smells fragrant and refreshing. Is there something special?”

“Thanks for your care. There is nothing wrong with my health these days, so I didn’t take any medicine. It is just some flagrant stuff used for clearing heat. Since I like the refreshing smell, I always take it with me around. I can’t sleep well at night and feel listless, so my cousin in Luo Manor asked Sir Bai for some medicine. I always light the incense which made my room flagrant and refreshing. I think the smell is similar to that of the medicine, so I keep using it.” Mo Xuetong took up the tea offered by Mo Yu, tasted a bit and explained.

“Oh, it not only smells fragrant but also has a medical use. I’ll definitely ask Fu General His Excellency to send some here someday. Grandma is aged and always can’t sleep well. Maybe she’ll sleep better with it.” Mo Yufeng asked smilingly with other intentions and gloom appeared in his eyes.

Qin Yufeng said nothing but picked up the cup and drank up the wine. He played with the empty cup quietly and was lost in thought. He stopped the maid who wanted to refill his cup and continued to fiddle with the cup. He didn’t look at anything or anyone but the cup as if he could find something different on it.

“Hearing what you said, I think it may work too. Grandma has a headache because of her bad sleeping. If it would work as you said, I’ll ask Cousin Luo for some more and let grandma have some to use.” Mo Xuetong replied with a smile.

“Third miss uses the incenses every day and is half a doctor now. I heard that you also read some medical-related books. Are you planning to study medicine?” Mo Xuemin said gently with a smile.

“If third miss really gets skilled at studying medicine, it’ll be perfect and you’ll be able to treat grandma’s discomfort. I support you to learn medical skills and I’ll find some medical books for you tomorrow.” Mo Yufeng said with great interest.

His voice was too loud that everyone aside turned around to look at her.

A miss from a rich family studied these while she couldn’t use it. It had profound meanings.

“First brother, it’s too late for you to do that. Third miss has all kinds of medical books. Several days ago, I heard from Mo Yu that third miss was kind of a good doctor now. The medical books she has read are all piled behind the rooms, and there are plenty of them. Am I right?” Mo Xuemin held her handkerchief as if to make fun of her elder brother.

That meant Mo Xuetong actually knew these.

They wanted to let everyone know she was learning medical skills, or they had others plan. Mo Xuetong thought the second guess had more possibilities. But it’s just a guess which wouldn’t hurt.

Heard from Mo Yu? She couldn’t imagine Mo Xuemin would say that in such a way. Everyone knew it was Mo Xiu who tricked Mo Yu to tell, and many people were present when that happened. Of course, Mo Xuetong wouldn’t deny anything at the time. She just lifted her pretty face with shyness and bit her lips. Her face turned red and she said gently, “You’re making fun of me. I know nothing about medical skills.”

Mo Xuemin made such a great effort to make her admit that she knew quite a lot about medical skills.

“How could that be possible? Third miss has read so many medical books so that you must know some basic skills. Don’t worry, I won’t ask you for medical advice. But I’m glad to know there is a female doctor at home.” Mo Yufeng’s eyes blinked and he interrupted Mo Xuetong’s words.

“I heard that Cousin Feng had excellent medical skills too, and you learned it by yourself. Therefore, it’s obvious that those who have wisdom will always find a way out in adversity, which those stupid ones can never think of. Well, let’s stop talking and have a toast.” Suddenly, Mo Yufeng lifted his cup towards Qin Yufeng and Mo Xuetong had no chance to explain.

Then there was no chance for her to explain! Mo Xuetong coldly smiled in her heart and stopped hesitating. She would just wait and see what they would do to her. She turned around and said something to Wang Yilan.

She looked completely out of stress and didn’t even try to explain for herself, which made Mo Yufeng feel strange. He seemed to have said it on purpose. As everyone knew that, although Mo Xuetong was the legitimate daughter, she was not the most beloved one and didn’t have a close relationship with them. But today, Mo Yufeng mentioned her medical skills over and over again, which made him really suspicious.

Some people focused their eyes on Mo Yufeng with suspicious.

Mo Yufeng felt embarrassed, and then Mo Xuemin changed the topic and chatted on about something else.

Later on, they began to talk about topics they’re interested in and all got delighted. Even Mo Xueqiong became kind and easy to talk with. The furnace in the room got hotter and hotter, and they had already taken off their robe. There was constant laughter coming from the room.

But Mo Xuetong felt a bit uncomfortable. When nobody talked to her, she stood up to the side where there was no screen. She stood by the side of the pavilion and appreciated the plum blossoms at the vent. The maids and nannies were serving inside, so there was nobody else and it was very quiet there. Though there were only seven or eight of them, the plum blossoms were very beautiful and looked like plenty of plum trees. Whether in bud or in full bloom, they were extremely beautiful.

They went here with the intention of appreciating plum blossoms. But many of them forgot their real purpose when they reached the destination. Most of them forgot they came here to enjoy the plum blossoms. The scent of the plum blossoms added to the beauty of winter.

“Third miss, do you want to go down to admire them? It is too far to see them clearly.” Mo Xuemin dragged Wang Yilan to her with a smile.

“First miss, it’s not necessary. You can go there with Miss Wang and fourth miss, and I’d like to stay here. It’s warm inside.” Mo Xuetong answered smilingly.

“Okay then. Fourth miss, Miss Wang, let’s go there together.” Mo Xuemin didn’t force her this time, and said to Mo Xueqiong and Wang Yilan.

Several smart maids came up and helped the misses wear the robe, which had been taken off because of the warmth inside. When Mo Xuetong was looking at the plum blossoms alone by the door, no one got her a robe. Now they were so caring.

“Cousin Tong should go down with them, and the view will be better there.” Qin Yufeng also wanted to get out, but he stopped by her side and asked smilingly.

“I don’t necessarily have to get close to watch it clearly. Maybe with confusion, the view will be better.” Mo Xuetong said gently. A flush appeared on her pale face because of the warmth inside, and it made her even more pretty. Her enchanting glamor along with the pure face could rouse anyone’s tender emotions.

She just stood there, and looked delicate and beautiful!

But there was slight coldness by her eyes, which made her hard to approach.

“The view is better with confusion. Maybe you and I are the same!” Qin Yufeng sighed, looked at her and blinked. Then he left the pavilion and stood under the plum trees. His eyes were fixed on Mo Xuetong and he was lost in thought.

When Mo Xuetong turned around and looked at him, he gently smiled at her. Then he turned around and talked to Mo Xuemin. From Mo Xuetong’s angle, Mo Xuemin’s face looked unbelievably gentle. And such emotional connections would only appear on people in love. Did Mo Xuemin really love Qin Yufeng?

When this idea came into her mind, she got shocked! She was so scared that she clenched her fists. It was the biggest failure that you couldn’t see the true ideas of your opponent. But she couldn’t understand what was in Qin Yufeng’s mind now.

In her last life, she thought Qin Yufeng deeply loved Mo Xuemin and gave her everything he could. She sometimes got some of the presents that Mo Xuemin didn’t like. She had seen Mo Xuemin and Qin Yufeng walk together for a few times. He was gentle and handsome, while she was pretty and amorous…

Mo Xuemin never promised to marry Qin Yufeng, and Qin Yufeng helped Mo Xuemin to kill her. At last, Mo Xuemin married into Duke’s manor. And she died so miserably because of his scheme. But maybe, what she saw was not real.

Now from their behaviors, it’s Mo Xuemin who was in deep love with Qin Yufeng. However, Qin Yufeng looked so calm and indifferent, which showed no love for Mo Xuemin.

What was wrong? If that was true, what was his role in her miserable life and why he ruined her step by step…

Her heart was filled with coldness, which made her shiver. Considering Qin Yufeng’s character, he would ruin everything he couldn’t have. Now that he helped Mo Xuemin to marry into Duke’s manor, he was clearly not in love with her. But he schemed her again and again and tried to kill her…

Maybe he had sensed that Mo Xuetong was looking at him, Qin Yufeng turned back and smiled at her. She couldn’t understand that kind of grim joy.

And then, he just turned around and appreciated the plum blossoms with Mo Xuemin. And he gently talked and smiled with Mo Yufeng.

She couldn’t understand the man, but she had to guess! Or she might never know when she would die in his hands. She thought he was a significant obstacle to remove!

“Miss, miss, Auntie Fang… Auntie Fang is not feeling well!” When Mo Xuetong was ready to go back and sit down, there came the screaming and shouts from the maids at the end of the path.

Everyone stopped talking and looked at the direction where the voices came from.

Nobody noticed that Mo Xuemin and Mo Yufeng looked at each other excitedly with an evil smile.

“What happened?” Mo Xuemin concealed her satisfaction and walked forward hurriedly. She almost tripped because of her nervousness, and it’s lucky that Qin Yufeng helped her up.

“Something happened to concubine, in… third miss’s… Qingwei Garden, old… old sir is also there… First miss, you have to go there right now!” The maid was panting and only told her the focal points. Before she finished, everyone started to rush to Qingwei Garden. Mo Xuetong walked slowly because of her weak body and walked at the end with Mo Lan’s help.

“Don’t worry, there is still a chance. You can’t give up until everything ends.” Somehow, Qin Yufeng also walked at the end and gently said to her.

Why he would say such words to her!

Mo Xuetong turned around and looked at his handsome face with strong disbelief.

Suddenly, an old memory which had already been forgotten emerged. He seemed to have said the same sentence in her last life. But she couldn’t remember when. Was it before she met Sima Lingyun or after she entered Duke’s manor? She got confused and lost in memories…

The relationship between them seemed to be more than enemies…

No, she shook her head and tried to get rid of the confusing memories in her brain. She closed her eyes tightly and forced the confusion in her mind out. She couldn’t be disturbed at the moment. Qin Yufeng must know that, so he came to confuse her and her plan. It must be like that.

“How are you? Are you feeling unwell? Don’t be nervous.” She heard Qin Yufeng’s gentle voice and the unexpected words which didn’t seem to come from his mouth. When she opened her eyes again, Mo Xuetong had calmed herself. Her long eyelashes flipped, and there was mist in her eyes. And her face which was too pale showed her amazement and scare.

“Thank you, Cousin Feng, I… I’ll go and have a look first.” She felt very frightened and held Mo Lan’s hand to go faster. Thus she could catch up with the people ahead and escape from his gaze.

Behind her, Qin Yufeng’s eyes were extremely deep and cold.

By the time everyone rushed to Qingwei Garden, Mo Huawen had already sat in the room. There was a doctor who was about 30 years old beside him. Moreover, the doctor was feeling the pulse for Auntie Fang, who was lying in bed with her eyes closed tightly with a pale face. By the bedside, Guihua and Guiyue, Auntie Fang’s maids, knelt down shivering without a word.

Under such circumstance, the Wang’s siblings and Qin Yufeng couldn’t stay anymore. They just excused themselves and left.
