Chapter 349 Mo Ye Lost the Man He Was Following

Mo Manor, Qingwei Garden.

Mo Ye was already back, reporting to Mo Xuetong with guilt. “Miss, I lost track of the man.”

How did Mo Ye lose the man? Mo Xuetong placed down the embroidery he was holding and touched her swollen head, a little lost.

“Miss, please rest for a while. King Xuan’s manor had sent someone over to inform us that we need not prepare anything due to the tight schedule. The King had prepared everything, including the embroidered dress, and he will come at a prosperous timing to send them over.” Mo Lan placed down the embroidery she was holding and took over Mo Xuetong’s. She placed it aside and stood behind her, helping her massage her forehead as she comforted her.

When the word came, Mo Lan and the rest were delighted. That did not only mean the significance that King Xuan attributed to her miss, but also the fact that King Xuan survived and woke up from the verge of death. That made the entire Mo manor joyful as their Miss would not immediately become a widow when married over.

The few grieving servants on the ground were immediately filled with energy. They began to choose embroideries and prepare gifts... When they were free, they would be sewing on accessories. When she married over, those would be a sign of her status regardless of whether she would be gifting them out to others or her servants. Even though she didn’t need an embroidered dress anymore, these were necessary accessories.

Mo Xuetong did prepare a few clothes for Feng Yuran herself. When a woman married over, she would usually prepare clothing for the man. For a prestigious man like Feng Yuran, eight sets must be prepared for each season, showing the respect the woman had for the man. However, the time was too short.

It was too late for Mo Xuetong to make so many now, and thus she merely prepared one casually, but even that was still in the process. Like her servants, she would take that out to work on anytime she was free.

“I’m alright, just a little tired.” Mo Xuetong smiled. Even though her body had recovered, she was pretty tired, perhaps due to the fact that she stayed up late last night.

Seeing that even though her miss was tired, she seemed vibrant, Mo Lan heaved a sigh of relief. Her glance fell on the half-completed clothing of Mo Xuetong and shook her head helplessly. The servants would have helped if this was anything else, however, Mo Xuetong must personally prepare the clothes of her husband. Furthermore, her miss herself was dedicated to this task, and a servant like her was in no position to do it.

She remembered that some Ginseng soup was left in the kitchen, and made a mental note to heat it up for her miss later.

“Mo Ye, where did the person disappear?” Mo Xuetong sipped at the tea that Mo Yu provided for her and frowned. She did not expect that Mo Ye would lose the man. Even though she was merely a woman, Mo Ye was capable, and even Mo Feng admitted that Mo Ye was more powerful than him.

“I followed the man out of Xiuning Workshop and turned a corner into an alley. The alley was long but straight and hence I could only follow from a distance as I could not approach him without him discovering. Unexpectedly, the man disappeared just when I blinked. I rushed to his last known location and discovered a door present there. I passed the door to another long and narrow alley before entering the main street, where no one was present.” Mo Ye recalled her experience.

She did not expect to lose the man and was extremely gloomy. She felt sad knowing that this was the first time that had happened since she became a real secret guard.

She looked disappointed.

“Who were the ones staying at the sides of the streets?” Mo Xuetong thought for a while before asking.

“I have investigated the location. They were all ordinary merchants, with the back doors of a few shops. The place was right at the backdoor of many houses located in the main street. Not only were there normal shops, numerous customers, brothels, theatres, tea houses, and bodyguard agencies were all present. It was a mess.” Mo Ye’s face turned red as she remembered what she saw at the back door of the shophouses.

It was not only just a mess.

However, she couldn’t tell her miss that.

Mo Xuetong caressed her brows as she knew that the man was probably gone. The man was definitely intelligent enough to choose such a place where people of all kinds of types mix together. It would be extremely easy for an ordinary man to sneak in and was an excellent place to plan the escape. Finding someone there would be like finding a needle in the ocean.

That was no normal man.

“Don’t worry. Since he appeared once, he would appear again. Please let Mo Feng keep an eye on the surroundings, and ask him to follow immediately after he discovers anything amiss.” Seeing Mo Ye’s disappointed face, Mo Xuetong chuckled. Even though it was unexpected that Mo Ye lost the man, she did not expect to find him so easily either, as she had never heard of this matter in her previous life.

Which meant that nobody suspected them. Since nobody suspected them, they must be deeply hidden.

Naturally, it would be difficult to catch them.

“Yes, I will inform Mo Feng to guard there later. When there’s any news, I will guard the place myself and see if he can escape again!” Mo Ye ground her teeth as she became even more upset thinking about this matter. She could be considered to be one of the best secret guards around, and hence she could not understand why she was swindled so easily, failing her miss’s faith in her.

Seeing Mo Ye gritting her teeth, Mo Xuetong smiled involuntarily and said to Mo Ye, “Alright, it’s nothing. Go and rest first, and don’t rush out so soon. This is to prevent speculation on the busy nature of us Qingwei Garden, where all of you come in and out all the time.”

“I shall go down and rest first, leaving later at night.” Mo Ye nodded obediently.

Ever since she followed her miss, the disdain in her disappeared. Even though her miss was weak, the intellect, decisiveness, and wit of her miss were far above others’. Even an ordinary smart man could not be compared to her miss.

“My miss, would you like to rest too. Your mother had said that spring drowsiness was common for this period of time, and you should rest more. Before long, you will be going to King Xuan’s manor, which might not be as comfortable as our place. I heard that there are many concubines present in King Xuan’s manor too, and you should naturally be energetic and well-rested.” Mo Lan came out from behind Mo Xuetong and offered her comforting advice.

However, she revealed the dissatisfaction she had toward Feng Yuran’s King Xuan’s Manor as if she were going to fight them instead of marrying her miss over.

Those words made Mo Xuetong gave a gentle smile. “Will that idiot be angry if he knew that’s how everyone else viewed him!”

“That’s right, my miss. You got to be well-rested and scare everyone in that manor. Anyways, the king will still be injured then and will not be able to get up. My miss got to be dominant and sell all those who don’t listen to you, making it easier for you to secure your position in the manor.” Once Mo Yu thought about the many concubines in King Xuan’s manor, she started to complain on behalf of Mo Xuetong.

It was not a good thing for a beautiful and kind woman like her miss to marry that promiscuous King Xuan!

However, nobody could resist under the imperial edict!

“Mo Yue, stop gossiping so much and annoying our miss. King Xuan is in charge of King Xuan’s Manor. How will others view our miss if she removes all the concubines right after her marriage?” Mo Lan shook her head and helped Mo Xuetong to her bed. She removed her coat and helped her down, covering her with the blanket.

“Why not? King Xuan’s Manor is a mess now and King Xuan is injured. Our miss is the only one in charge.” Mo Yu straightened her neck and argued, indignant.

Mo Xuetong chuckled. ” Mo Yu, we shall not care so much about King Xuan’s Manor. We will have to see what King Xuan’s attitude is after our marriage. However, you should change your own attitude. If you are still like this, others can take advantage of that.”

As she spoke, she thought of Mo He and her smile disappeared.

Mo Lan saw the change in her expression and knew that she remembered Mo He’s matter. She immediately threw a glance at Mo Yu and Mo Yu was obedient enough to not continue the topic, giving a serious promise instead. “Don’t worry, my miss. I will naturally follow the rules in King Xuan’s Manor and not make things difficult for my miss.”

King Xuan’s Manor was not Mo Manor, with many more rules and regulations. Mo Yu had reflected about it and decided to be careful and not to follow the footsteps of Mo He, who was oblivious to being used by others.

“Where is Mo He now?” The room became silent as Mo Xuetong asked, closing her eyes.

“Ever since Mo He left the manor, she disappeared. Some said that she returned to her hometown. Does my miss want to find out?” Mo Yu asked in confusion. Mo He’s matter reminded all the servants who were close to their miss. Of course, Mo He’s actions were despised upon, and hence no one went to find out more about her after she left.

Having suffered and enjoyed so much with her master, how could she have given up on so many years of relationship between the two just because of Auntie Fang’s lure, harming and hurting her miss with Auntie Fang. Mo Yu thought about it and decided that she had a wrong judgment of Mo He, whom she decided was a straightforward person!

“Mo Lan, help me investigate where Mo He is now. He Xia said that she saw Mo He that day.” Mo Xuetong closed her eyes and smiled lightly.

That day, on the carriage, both of them saw Mo He. She was well dressed and was nothing like when she was chased out of the manor. She was obviously successful as an old woman followed her, bowing and nodding to her at times. It was obvious that Mo He was well respected.

Normally, servants chased out by the manors would either suffer terribly or return and live with their parents. However, both of Mo He’s parents were in Cloud City, making her impossible to survive here on her own, much less successful. The only possibility was that someone took her in as a servant. However, who would place so much emphasis on a servant who was chased out?

An ordinary family would buy diligent girls from the human traffickers, and would naturally not use those chased out, unless the connection was long established.

It was truly disturbing that this relationship was not severed even though she chased her away!

“He Xia saw Mo He? My miss, could she be mistaken?” Mo Yu asked in complete disbelief, opening her mouth open and gasping. They all knew the situation of a servant being chased out, and hence they found the knowledge to be even more unbelievable.

Mo Lan stood at the side and did not say anything. Her pupils darkened as she realized that it would be ruining her miss’s reputation if the news that they were finding a servant they chased away started to spread before her miss’s marriage. It was an unwise move.

“I’m not mistaken!” Mo Xuetong responded lightly. “Please go and investigate. Many people in the manor knew Mo He, and we should send many more out. Say that I left an object with Mo He and I could not find it now. Hence, I send my servants out to look for her. Anyone who found her will be well rewarded.”

“Yes, I shall do it immediately.” Mo Lan heaved a sigh of relief and responded. Her miss was indeed so bright as this excuse would eliminate suspicious on if she had any other interests in finding Mo He. Mo He was the top servant of her miss and was in charge of objects in the manor. Hence, it would be possible that the object was in her hands if it could not be found. It would not be suspicious when people in the manor reported the information of Mo He over as well.

The two retreated. Mo Lan left to find the girl while Mo Yu sat outside, sewing the embroidery meticulously.

Inside the room, Mo Xuetong closed her eyes and fell asleep. She had been extremely tired these days and would feel down with no energy if she did not sleep every afternoon.
