novelWomen's Hearts were the Cruelest
| ← Ch.123 | Ch.125 → |
That she was no longer a daughter of the Mo's meant that she would be out of the pedigree of a clan and driven out of Mo Manor, which was indeed the idea they had in mind. Only if she was out of Mo Manor, and father was guilty for Auntie Fang's abortion, Auntie Fang would definitely get the position of the main wife. By then, Mo Xuemin would be the legitimate daughter, and Mo Yufeng would be the legitimate son. The whole Mo Manor would be in Auntie Fang's control. She was so merciless that she used her unborn child to win the battle.
A girl who got driven out of her home wouldn't be able to live for a long time. Besides, she believed that they wouldn't let her be alive.
Auntie Fang and her daughter was as vicious as in the last life, and Mo Yufeng didn't pretend to be unconcerned any more. They all saw her as an obstacle, so just let her play her part!
"Third miss, even if you have really done such a thing, I'll beg father to spare your life. But such a small innocent life was ended in your hand, so you can't stay in Mo Manor any longer. If we connived at your behavior, the entire Mo Manor will be in a mess. Father wouldn't let you ruin Mo Manor's fame like that!" Mo Xuemin gently looked at Mo Xuetong and acted like she wanted to speak for her. But the meaning of her words made Mo Huawen frown.
He looked at Mo Xuemin as if deep in thought. Then his eyes turned cold. His first miss who used to be gentle wanted to drive Tong'er out of Mo Manor.
"Father, let me go and invite Sir Bai here?" Mo Xuetong smiled coldly and didn't want to talk with Mo Xuemin any more. Then she turned to Mo Huawen and said. The intention of Mo Xuemin and Mo Yufeng was quite clear. But at least she was pretty satisfied with her father, who had been trying to protect her and ignored that Auntie Fang who pretended to pass out weakly.
Of course, she didn't miss the digust in Mo Huawen's eyes when he glanced at Auntie Fang.
Until then, they had no way turning back. Mo Huawen asked someone to invite Bai Yihao and had to get him here at any price. He had to come to prove for Tong'er.
Bai Yihao arrived fast and brought along imperial doctor Lu to come too. They got into Qingwei Garden in a while. After Mo Huawen's greetings to them, he let Mo Xuetong put the safflower and incenses in front of them.
"This is the incenses containing musk? This is safflower?" The imperial doctor Lu picked them up and looked eccentric.
"Yes, it is. Imperial doctor, you also agree to that. Third miss, you refuse to admit what you have done, but now the imperial doctor is here. Then everyone in the capital will know it. If you had admitted it earlier, you wouldn't have been so disgraced." Mo Xuemin sighed and seemed to feel sorry and regretful for Mo Xuetong.
"First miss, the imperial doctor didn't say a word? How come you're so sure it's me?" Mo Xuetong smiled coldly. Maybe they should all stop pretending to be close sisters, which was so hypocritical.
She just wanted Mo Xuemin to say all the things she hid in her heart aloud, whether it's about her pride or her lies. Now that she had a chance to show them all out and let father know what her beloved first miss and the only son really were. Especially, the weak woman who was lying in bed with a pale face, had killed her own son.
He had to figure out what his beautiful concubine and beloved children really were.
"Imperial doctor, what are those?" Mo Huawen asked imperial doctor Lu. Bai Yihao was very calm and glanced at the things in Imperial doctor Lu's hand, smiled and didn't say anything. He took a look at Mo Xuetong and was very calm.
"There is no musk in the incenses, but some medicine used for calming the nerves. This medicine can be useful for those who are weak and can contribute to better sleeping. And this isn't safflower, but elaeagnus angustifolia, which is also used for calming the nerves and promoting sleeping." Imperial doctor pointed at the incenses and "safflower" in hand and said.
Everyone was surprised when they heard that!
No, if it's not like that, what's wrong with Auntie Fang?
Mo Huawen was the first to get what he said and felt relieved!
Of course, it's not Tong'er, and Tong'er was too kind to do such a horrible thing!
Mo Huawen felt relieved when he heard the words. It didn't matter any more now that Tong'er didn't do it. He didn't want that child at the first place. A child of hers wanted to master the entire Mo Manor. That bitch had such a crazy plan.
"How could it be? It is safflower indeed!" The doctor standing by the side shouted, "You can tell it's safflower from its color and its look. How could it be anything else?"
"Where is this ignorant doctor from? How dare you to doubt others when you have little medical knowledge. If you don't believe me, I can invite other doctors to judge. It was written on 'Qanun' that elarsgnus angustifolis is a plant which looks like safflower. But the color of it is a bit different from that of safflower, which can be seen from the light purple of it. Though their appearances are similar, their functions are totally different. How could you doubt my judgement?" Doctor Lu glanced at the doctor and smiled.
"How could this be possible?" No matter how calm Mo Xuemin could be, she was just a teenage girl who had never heard such things before. She suddenly turned around and looked at the doctor, as if she wanted to kill him at the moment. She had asked someone to change Mo Xuetong's incenses, and Auntie Fang had brought the safflower in. How could it turn into elaeagnus angustifolia and the doctor didn't even notice it?
Mo Yufeng froze there, and Auntie Fang opened her eyes widely in shock. The doctor was in complete shock and didn't know what to do.
"Auntie Fang, are you wondering why the safflower you brought into my room turn into elaeagnus angustifolia?" Mo Xuetong smiled with her bright eyes, "First miss and First Brother just said I was the one who had hurt Auntie Fang, what do you want to say now?"
"Mo Xuetong, don't try to push this on me." Mo Yufeng was furious.
"Auntie Fang brought the safflower in?" Mo Huawen's attention was caught by her words and stared at Auntie Fang with a cold face.
That bitch was afraid that I might find something wrong with the baby, so she set up the scheme?
"Imperial doctor Lu, please feel the pulse for my concubine. That doctor has been looking for a while but didn't get any conclusion. Please have a look at my concubine. She just lost her baby and might feel uncomfortable." Mo Xuetong stood up, and bowed towards imperial doctor Lu, completely ignoring the angry Mo Yufeng.
Bai Yihao brought imperial doctor Lu along because he didn't want to a part of this thing. Moreover, he had helped to make the incenses. If he was the one to check, Mo Xuemin and her brother might not accept the result. Mo Xuetong definitely understood what he meant, so she directly asked imperial doctor Lu for help. Doctor Lu was a doctor in imperial palace and had more credibility than him.
Seeing that Mo Xuetong understand his intentions and made the right choice to ask imperial doctor Lu to feel pulse for Auntie Fang, a slight smile appeared on Bai Yihao's handsome face. He took the tea by his hand, drank a little and took a deep look at Mo Xuetong with admiration. Then he just lowered his head to look at his tea and didn't say anything.
Since he got in, he didn't talk to anyone except for his greetings to Mo Huawen.
"Okay!" Imperial Doctor Lu sat on the chair where the silly doctor had sat, glanced at him and snorted. He really looked down on such doctors, who couldn't even tell safflower and elaeagnus angustifolia apart. His medical treatment might do great harm to the patients. Imperial doctor Lu decided that the minute he went back, he would reported the doctor to have this swindler arrested.
Treating people without wisedom was even worse than killing them for money.
He closed his eyes, put his fingers on Auntie Fang's wrist and frowned. It took quite a while for him to let go of Auntie Fang's hand and said to Mo Huawen, "When did the concubine lose her child?"
"About an hour ago." Mo Huawen answered.
"What did her drink an hour ago?"
Mo Huawen turned around and looked at Mo Ye. Mo Ye stepped ahead, knelt down and answered, "Old sir, Auntie Fang entered Qingwei Garden because she didn't feel well. We don't dare to give her anything to eat. If anything went wrong, it would be our miss's responsibility. Therefore, there was no food then. All the maids in the yard saw that Auntie Fang just went in to rest, and there were only Guihua and Guiyue around her."
Auntie Fang got grounded because of Mo Xuetong, which was known to everyone in the manor. The maids in Mo Xuetong's yard didn't dare to bring anything to her when Auntie Fang came to rest. They all avoided meeting her in case they might get in trouble. So, they all gathered in the yard in case that Auntie Fang would get them in trouble.
Since Auntie Fang got into the room, no one else entered. There were only Auntie Fang and two of her maids. They were the few people who knew what she ate there. All eyes were fixed on Guihua and Guiyue.
Mo Xuetong was the only one to fix her eyes on an empty cup on the beside table and became lost in deep thought.
"The lady didn't... , didn't have..." Seeing all eyes fixed on her, Guihua's face turned pale immediately and stuttered while explaining.
"The concubine swallowed the safflower an hour ago, which caused her abortion. I can't imagine why it happened when no one offered her any food. There is a possibility that she brought the safflower and swallowed it here to set someone up. But it's too brutal for a mother to do such a thing." Imperial doctor Lu shook his head and stood up. He didn't want to take a look at Auntie Fang any more, because he couldn't imagine anyone so brutal. In order to get the position, she killed her own baby. He couldn't imagine such a horrible thing done by a woman, who was supposed to be gentle and kind.
Women's hearts were the cruelest indeed!
For the love of a man, they could be so brutal? Imperial doctor Lu felt terrified! Thinking that he only had a wife at home and avoided many problems, he felt so lucky when his colleagues often made fun of him because of that.
"Imperial doctor Lu, could you please find out what was in it?" Mo Xuetong took up the empty glass on the desk, and asked Mo Lan to give it to imperial doctor Lu. She squinted at Auntie Fang's frozen face and smiled coldly.
"Somebody used the glass to eat safflower, there is still the smell of safflower." Imperial doctor Lu sniffed at it and said.
