Chapter 238 Out of the Bag, Auntie Fang Reaped What She Sowed
Hearing the nannys scream, everyone turned back in shock. It turned out that the pouch got loose. Blown by the wind, some clothes stuck out of the bag. Inside, there should be two palm-sized dolls. They had head, arms, and legs. Moreover, five silver needles about one inch long were deeply stuck in them. At one glance, they looked like two wavering skeletons, which was horrifying.
Everyones face changed.
What, what is this? Auntie Fang shivered and pointed to Mo Xuetong. She cursed through clenched teeth. Third miss, though we dont know you because of your stay in Cloud City for a year or so, you shouldnt have harmed me and your sister. No wonder I went crazy and lost my baby. And since youre here, things kept happening to your sister. It turns out its all because of you. Third miss, how can you be so cruel? Theyre your brother and sister!
Seeing the two dolls, Auntie Fang finally felt relieved. Though shes crying miserably, her eyes flashed with traces of smugness. This time, the physical evidence was here. The wretched woman wouldnt end up in any other way no matter how hard she tried to turn the tables.
Its Miss, not me, not me. The young maidservant shook more violently. She was practically lying on the ground. She pointed at Mo Xuetong but seemed not to dare to say anything. However, everyone understood and all fixed their eyes on Mo Xuetong.
Mo Huawens eyes were cold. He ignored them and stepped forward to pick up the two weird dolls. Holding them in hand, he observed carefully. Suddenly, he stormed and threw the dolls to Yu Feng. This is the evidence, the so-called evil thing, you found for that wicked woman. This is the thing youve been trying to do to Tonger. Fair enough, since weve gotten into such a mess, we should take this to the Emperor together.
No one expected that Mo Huawen acted so tough after they found the item. Auntie Fang and her group were all rattled. They had a bad hunch.
Yu Feng quickly caught the dolls Mo Huawen threw at him. Agape, he gawked at the words on the dolls. The words in smeared ink were not the familiar birth dates of Auntie Fang and Mo Xuemin. Apparently, the dolls werent used to curse them, but then who?
A perfect plan in their eyes should go out of control, which unnerved them at once.
You want to know whose birth dates they are, dont you? Mo Huawen sneered and stared closely at Auntie Fang. Evident disgust was in his eyes. Theyre Qiongers and Tongers birth dates. Wicked woman, now, do you still call them your and Miners birth dates?
Why is that! How could such a perfect plan go wrong?
Auntie Fang looked shocked and scared. She only felt the blood rushing to her brain. She had been in bad health, now, her knees weakened and her vision became blurry. How? How did the nasty woman get out of the trap this time? Im sure Ive buried the dolls with my and Miners birth dates.
As long as I can charge Mo Xuetong with playing those evil tricks. The things Ive done, Mo Xuemins blemished reputation, and her affair with a man will all be justifiable. Many people will forgive what weve done after wed been put under a spell. It was all Mo Xuetongs fault. How can an unmarried girl be so vicious? Even if she doesnt have to atone her crime with death, she can only spend the rest of her life in the family temple.
Auntie Fangs face paled. She couldnt collect herself at the moment, staggering her way and murmuring, No, its impossible. They are mine and Miners. They should be mine and Miners. How come theyre not
Mo Xuetong didnt let her off. Eyes fixed on Auntie Fang, she asked the latter at once. How does Auntie Fang know the birth dates on the dolls are yours and eldest sisters? Is it that youre involved? Or did you bury them to frame me?
Auntie Fangs soul was almost out of her body. She looked absentminded and was murmuring. She could only subconsciously refute Mo Xuetongs words, and then, her knees softened and she flopped on the floor. No, its not me I didnt write them. I didnt, I never did something
Seeing she was about to let the cat out of the bag, Yu Feng hurried over to add, Sister, dont you dare talk nonsense.
Mo Huawen coldly stared at the shocked and speechless Eunuch Wei and ruthlessly attacked Consort Yu. Eunuch Wei, do we still have to search? Or do you think we should report this to the Ministry of Justice or even the Emperor himself? This is the good sister Consort Yu found. I wonder if His Majesty will love Consort Yu more if he knows about such an evil sister of hers.
He was mild-tempered indeed, but this time, he was raged!
When Consort Yu is found to have such an evil sister, will His Majesty love her more!
Hearing that, Eunuch Wei suddenly realized. If His Majesty knows about this, hell only think less of the Yu family. How will a woman from such a family be kind? When shes only a concubine, shes already turned her husbands family into a mess. If she got to be in charge of the harem, what a mess there would be!
Thinking about the Emperors rage toward this, or the possibility that Consort Yu would even be exiled by the Empress because of this, Eunuch Wei felt a chill from head to toe. At this time, he had no plan to talk arrogantly at all. He hurriedly apologized with a smile on his pale face. Since youve looked into this matter, Your Grace should decide since its inside your family. Its lucky that such an evil woman only shares a surname with Her Highness and isnt really related to her.
He was cutting off the ties with the Yu family in case he got into trouble.
Seeing Eunuch Wei withdrawing, Yu Feng got anxious. He turned around to call. Eunuch Wei Without Eunuch Weis backer, Consort Yu, he didnt dare to challenge Mo Huawen. Both his rank and status were much lower than Mo Huawens. Moreover, Mo Huawen was not only a third-grade official in the capital, but also someone with real power and a close connection with Emperor Zongwen. He was one of the Emperors trusted subordinates.
In a confrontation, Yu Feng could only lose and never win!
Eunuch Wei snickered and gently warned Yu Feng. Sir Yu, is this vicious woman your sister? After many years, a child can change a lot. I dont want you to get fooled by others. The Yu family is a scholarly family, with such a sinister woman, the entire familys name will be ruined.
These words left Yu Feng dazed. He instantly realized. Now, Auntie Fang is already a bad woman in peoples eyes, but except Mo Huawen and the group, the others dont know were related. If I accept her as my sister, Ill certainly harm the Yu family.
Last time, Yu Sirongs scandal already made the Yu family famous and disgraced him among his peers. When people saw him, theyd still occasionally talk about if they had had a sinister daughter at home Other than Yu Sirong, he still had other children. Therefore, he decided to send Yu Sirong to the family temple in Cloud City, which was almost the end of Yu Sirongs life.
However, even after that, he couldnt easily marry his children to good families because of a blemished name. Just when he found a well-matched officials family for the second daughter, they immediately canceled the marriage learning he had an evil daughter with poor education at home. They also said that if such a girl married into their family, the entire family shrine would be tainted.
Now, if another vicious girl came from his family, all the juniors in his family wouldnt marry into good families.
No, I cant! I cant let her ruin the family! Thinking like that, he slowly took a few steps back.
Auntie Fang also came to her senses. Seeing Yu Fengs grim face, she knew that things were going terribly wrong. At this time, without Yu Fengs backing, she had no one to rely on anymore. Therefore, she supported herself up and scrambled on her knees to Yu Feng. She clung to his legs and cried. Brother, brother, save me. I didnt do it!
Yu Feng looked at his bony sister. She was crying so sadly, and thus he couldnt help but pity her. Shes miserable, being abducted and ending up in a poor family when shes little. She was sold into Mo Manor as a maidservant and only became a concubine after successfully seducing her master. She mustve suffered a lot.
Eunuch Weis cold voice sounded beside his ears and made him come to his senses. Sir Yu, you must consider your entire family!
Right, no, I cant take her!
He tried to get his legs out of Auntie Fangs grab, but she had clung to his calves. Under the situation, he had to kick her. Taking the kick, she was sent back flying, crashing against the nearby tree roots. Immediately, blood streamed down her forehead, and she stared at Yu Feng in disbelief, crying, Brother, brother!
Her weeping voice made Yu Feng feel sorry for her. He remembered how soft and cute she looked when she was born. At this time, he felt a heartache. Shes my sister. Shes been away from home for years and couldnt return to the family. If I really ditch her today, shell die.
Auntie Fang murmured and her pale face resembled a ghosts. Her eyes were out of focus and the blood tainted her face. Half of her face was blood-stained and looked very scary.
As if grabbing the last draw of hope, Yu Feng immediately turned to Mo Huawen. Sir Mo, it cant be her. She cant have done something like this. It must be a trap. Someone wants to frame her. She was locked in Lihua Garden. How could she get out and find her way into Third Miss Mos yard?
They had lost the best chance. Now, all he wanted was to get Auntie Fang out of trouble. It was no more possible to frame Mo Xuetong.
Mo Huawens eyes were like nails. He fixed them on Yu Feng and said with a sneer. Then who does Sir Yu think did this? And why does this wicked woman know it so well? Why is she certain that her and Miners birth dates are on the dolls? How could she be so sure if she hadnt known it before?
As a Sir mayor, he had handled many cases. Of course, he could saw and pick up cues from Auntie Fangs words. It was no different than a confession. Eyes on the nannies and maidservants by the side, he thought about their previous framing Tonger together and felt furious. He could only suppress it down to calmly glance at their faces.
These people cant stay!
Under his gaze, the nannies and maidservants all shivered. None of them expected a carefully-arranged plan to go badly astray. Notably, the girl on her knees was now receiving the cold smile from around Mo Xuetongs lips and the disgust in her own masters eyes. She knew she was in trouble!
The little maidservant screamed and pointed at Auntie Fang to expose her. Old sir, old sir, I didnt do this. Its her. She sent people to tell me that as long as I helped her frame the third miss, shed free me and give me money. My family wont need to be servants. My life is in her hand, and I dont dare to disobey her.
Mo Xuetong blandly said, Who did she send?
The servant couldnt control herself now. Like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, she told everything she knew. Its, its Mo Xiu from the first misss yard. Its her, really. The night before last night, she came to me from Lihua Garden. I heard when she came back from outside the manor, she directly went to Lihua Garden before visiting the first miss. Then, she came to me after leaving Lihua Garden and gave the thing to me.
