Chapter 561 Make Trouble, Someone from the Southern Barbarian Lands

The lady was annoyed that she did not have enough money. When she saw Mo Yarui step out again, she immediately slammed the table, pointed at Mo Yarui, and scolded her impolitely, “Hey, who are you? Does this have anything to do with you? Where did you from? What? Do you want to help her? If you really want to help her, pay for all the embroidery first.”

According to Mo Yarui’s temper, she was no match for the lady in an argument. Instantly, tears welled up in her eyes as she heard the lady’s scold. She turned to look at Mo Xuetong and wanted to ask for help.

Mo Xuetong had to help her when Mo Yarui looked at her with eager eyes. She sighed to herself. Even if she did not want to make trouble, trouble would always come to her. Fortunately, she was not really afraid of getting into trouble. She stood up with the help of Mo Lan; her watery eyes rolled and fell on the lady across her. She smiled gently and asked, “Miss, have you just entered the capital? You haven’t heard of this shop, have you? This is King Chu’s store. Are you sure you want to take issue with His Highness?”

Before Mo Yarui came to the appointment, she had already found out that the nearby stores were all owned by Feng Yuxuan.

The woman turned around when she heard Mo Xuetong’s gentle voice which didn’t contain anger. She sized Mo Xuetong up and there was a flash of surprise in her eyes. She did not expect to see such a beautiful woman. Immediately, her expression softened. When she heard that this was King Chu’s store, her face darkened a little.

Who was King Chu? He was a prince and was very much doted on by the Emperor. On her way here, the person had repeatedly told her not to offend King Chu. King Chu was the most powerful prince in the Qin Kingdom right now, so she could not irritate Feng Yuxuan because of this small matter. Furthermore, there was an invisible relationship, and she happened to be an insider.

However, she would not be able to surrender so quickly. Her expression turned cold as she asked, “Was it really owned by King Chu? Do you have any evidence to prove that the store belongs to His Highness?”

She didn’t believe that she just happened to enter King Chu’s embroidery store and knock into his people.

“This is the second consort of King Chu’s Manor, Second Consort Mo. If you do not believe me, you can get someone to inquire,” Mo Xuetong said with a slight smile, pointing at Mo Yarui who was still angry.

Hearing her words, the lady turned to look at Mo Yarui. She sized Mo Yarui up a few times and said after a while, “It’s Second Consort Mo. Please forgive me for being impolite. Since it’s King Chu’s store, you must not care about this little amount of money. I didn’t bring enough money this time. Second Consort Mo, please calculate the price. I’ll get someone to send the money over tomorrow.”

Although her tone was not soft enough, the meaning of her words obviously softened. Clearly, the title of King Chu was useful.

Mo Xuetong’s gaze landed on her beautiful hair with interest. There was a hairpin. It was not very big, but the pearls hanging from it swayed and shone brightly. It made the lady’s face look extremely beautiful. If not for the fact that she had seen Feng Yuxuan’s set of head accessory of South Pearls, Mo Xuetong would not know that she was wearing the South Pearls on her head.

Although the pearls were not big, they were all round and full. At first glance, one could tell that it was a treasure. It was the South Pearl, which was not something that would appear on the person from an ordinary family.

Other than Ling Mingyan, no one else in the capital was as domineering as her. However, it had always been First Miss Ling who was known in the capital, which meant that this lady was not a native of the capital. Then she should have only been in the capital for a few days. Looking at her clothes that were all excellent and the head accessory of South Pearls, Mo Xuetong suddenly remembered what Feng Yuran had told her last night—someone from the Southern Barbarian Lands had already come and would be here in the next two days. Could this person be from the Southern Barbarian Lands?

Harboring doubts in her heart, Mo Xuetong slowly sat down and began to pay more attention to the behavior of the arrogant lady.

Now that Mo Yarui made the appointment with Mo Xuetong, naturally, they met at a store belonging to King Chu’s Manor. She was very angry when she saw the arrogant lady had knocked out the embroidery earlier, but she was not a woman who was good at quarreling; therefore, she wanted Mo Xuetong to help her. However, since Mo Xuetong had told that the store was owned by King Chu’s Manor, she could no longer ask for her help.

After all, she was the real master of the store. She could not rely on others to vent her anger for her worker.

She could only grit her teeth and say angrily to the arrogant lady opposite her, “Miss, even though King Chu’s Manor is not lacking in money, what you said is not right. You’ll get someone to send the money over tomorrow? But if you won’t, we don’t know where to find you.”

Anger was still boiling up in her heart. The lady offended her in King Chu’s store and Mo Xuetong was present. She felt very embarrassed and only wanted to use Feng Yuxuan’s name to cover up her embarrassment.

She had thought that with Feng Yuxuan’s current status, it would be easy for her to deal with the matter. The lady was too arrogant just now, because she did not know that the store belonged to Feng Yuxuan. She would let her off the hook once the lady admitted her fault. She did not care about money. According to the clothes of the woman in front of her, she knew that she was either rich or noble.

Even though Mo Yarui sounded aggressive, she had already intended to settle the matter peacefully. If the young lady was outwardly strong but inwardly weak, she would immediately understand what Mo Yarui meant. She only needed to tell Mo Yarui her name and this matter would be considered settled. None of them lacked such a small sum of money. Naturally, they would not quarrel over the embroidery.

However, this girl had always been spoiled by her family and had been arrogant all the time. Although she was cunning, she had to behave like this in front of others now. Besides, she could not show her identity at the moment, so she continued to be an unruly girl. She immediately rested her hands on her hips and looked Mo Yarui up and down.

“Second Consort Mo is the one in charge of King Chu’s Manor? You’re so stubborn. I didn’t expect it was a concubine who was in charge of King Chu’s Manor. It’s really eye-opening.”

Her words were extremely rude, but when one thought about it, it was a fact. Although a second consort was also recorded in the royal family, she was just a concubine. When a concubine was in charge of the household, it was like spoiling the concubine and destroying the wife. Mo Yarui really couldn’t bear it. Her face turned pale on the spot, her lips trembling, and her eyes turned red. She almost burst into tears.

She was now indeed a concubine. It was because of the status of a concubine that the child in her belly was gone. When she thought of this, a lump came into her throat and she could not hold back her tears.

Noticing Mo Yarui was going to cry, Mo Xuetong let out a sigh. She did not want to get involved in this matter initially. It did not seem right no matter how she thought about the matter. Why did the lady from the Southern Barbarian Lands come to the embroidery store and even bump into that old woman? Mo Ye had told her earlier that the old woman seemed to be a martial arts practitioner. She had been knocked down so badly, but she was fine. Even though she was crying so loudly, she secretly looked out from her handkerchief and was paying attention to the few of them.

It seemed that she wanted to frame someone!

Mo Xuetong did not want to get involved in such a matter, and just wanted to bring a stool to the side and watch the show. However, Mo Yarui’s current state made it impossible for her to continue watching. After all, she was on Mo Yarui’s side. That lady did not seem to be a reasonable person. After she scolded Mo Yarui, it would be Mo Xuetong’s turn to be scolded. As such, Mo Xuetong might as well do something first in case she should say anything unpleasant.

She waved her hand and gestured for Mo Yu to go up. Amongst all her maidservants, Mo Yu was the one who was the most sharp-tongued. It was the best to deal with such an unreasonable young lady. Furthermore, as a prince’s wife, she did not have to go against someone directly in case she would lose face.

Standing nearby, Mo Yu was already furious as she witnessed the scene. How could the lady bully others like that? Now that she saw Mo Xuetong’s gesture, she immediately went up and glanced sideways at the lady. She said loudly, “Miss, are you joking? She is the second consort of King Chu. How could she be the same as an ordinary concubine? She is a member of the royal family. I wonder if you’re looking down on King Chu or the royal family. But no matter what, you have to go with Second Consort Mo to meet the officials.”

Mo Yu walked forward and tried to drag the lady after she said that. Mei Yu gnashed her teeth in anger as she watched her master suffer. Then, she rolled up her sleeves and went to help.

She was trying to drag the lady to the judge, for slandering the royal family. The arrogant lady’s eyes glinted and she hurriedly took two steps back. Two maidservants behind her came forward and stood in front of Mo Yu and Mei Yu. The yellow-clothed maidservant who had been in charge of the accounts earlier took two steps forward under her master’s indication and said with a smile.

“Wait, Miss, it’s really inconvenient today. Our miss didn’t mean to scold Second Consort Mo. Our miss won’t go back on her word. Second Consort Mo’s words just now really made our lady lose face. It’s just a few taels of silver. It’s not a big deal. Tomorrow, we’ll send the money to King Chu’s Manor to pay according to the arranged price. What do you say?”

She meant to make concessions to avoid trouble.

Mo Xuetong turned around and looked at Mo Yarui. She asked gently, “Second Consort Mo, look...” This was not her own business, so she could not make a decision. She could only listen to Mo Yarui’s attitude. The lady had already admitted defeat, so there was no point in arguing. Mo Xuetong’s intention was to stop before it was too late.

That was enough. They had no idea what the messenger from the Southern Barbarian Lands meant. She still needed to be careful.

“Yes, I’d like to listen to Consort Xuan. I... I have no objections.” Mo Yarui’s eyes were red with anger. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and bit her lips. She looked at the lady who had sat down again and a trace of grievance and anger flashed through her eyes.

Mo Xuetong looked at Mo Yarui’s eyes carefully, noticing the unwillingness in her eyes. Knowing that she was still angry and might even get mad at her, Mo Xuetong sighed to herself and stood up. She said, “Second Consort Mo, I still have something to deal with in the manor. I shall take my leave now.”

Since Mo Yarui did not feel ashamed and was not very willing to let go of the person opposite her, Mo Xuetong did not want to watch the fun here anymore. From the looks of it, she would be implicated sooner or later. As such, she decided to leave. Furthermore, that lady from the Southern Barbarian Lands was arrogant, but her eyes were clear. It was obvious that she was reserved. She was definitely not a simple girl.

“Consort Xuan.” Mo Yarui was a little flustered when Mo Xuetong was really about to leave. She had always been cowardly and soft. The reason she did not want to let go of the woman earlier was that with Mo Xuetong’s presence, she felt a little confident. When she saw that Mo Xuetong was about to leave, she immediately stood up as well. She tugged on Mo Xuetong’s sleeves fearfully, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked as if she wanted to say something but did not, appearing pitiful.

Such a woman was actually very popular with men. No wonder that she won Feng Yuxuan’s affections and became his second consort when her appearance was only above average. Now she was so pitiful with tears. She wanted Mo Xuetong to stand up for her. But Mo Xuetong really didn’t want to get involved in this strange matter.

She didn’t know who was scheming against whom, but it was better that it wasn’t her. Otherwise, her heart would be really colder.

“Second Consort Mo, forget it. It’s really not a big deal. Look at the young lady. She is at the age to be married, but she still so free outside. She must be doted on by her family. We are members of the royal family. We don’t have to be bothered by such an ignorant young lady,” Mo Xuetong said softly in a low voice. “Be easy on people. Inconvenient situations can happen to anyone. It is normal to not take enough money when one is away from home.”
