Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter

"Do you think I’m cruel or not?" She flatly opened her mouth without so much as a backward glance. However, she looked somewhat alienated, down-spirited, and indescribably sad.

"She’s been trying to frame you all the time. Yesterday, she nearly trapped you to death. And she even wanted to ruin your name. Today, she did this to herself and could blame it on no one. If she hadn’t tried to hurt others, how could she end up landing on those rocks? I guess she’s trying to ruin your face. But she didn’t know that what comes around goes around." Seeing Mo Xuetong blaming herself, Mo Lan felt tender toward her. When her miss acted like this, she found her more pitiful than when the miss appeared delicate, so she firmly supported her miss.

No matter it was just now or at yesterday, Yu Sirong was never nice to her miss. If she should succeed, her miss’s life would be ruined. Such a woman really should have her karma.

"I think so, so I did that!" Mo Xuetong closed her eyes and a cold smile crawled onto her lips. How could she pity Yu Sirong? That woman tried to ruin her face, so she merely dodged her attack. Or, should she have waited there for that woman to disfigure her?

In this life, she would never forget that she was here to have her revenge. She would make everyone who owed her in the last life pay. Yu Sirong was the first one. Thinking like that, her smiled grew colder and colder, and even froze her heart.

Feeling inexplicably moody, Mo Xuetong lingered around in the temple for a long while. Mo Lan and Mo Ye had kept her company and only returned to their yard until their feet became sore.

When they returned, they found Mother Xu waiting for them. It turned out that she knew about Mo Xuetong’s incident this morning and especially came here from Mo manor. At the sight of them, she plunged into Mo Xuetong’s arms, her body still trembling. Moreover, she was yelling. "Miss, don’t be afraid. Mother’s here. Don’t be afraid!"

Mother Xu’s body felt cold, maybe she had been waiting in the cold breeze for a long time. However, her arms were warm, so warm that Mo Xuetong found her heart tingling. She wrapped her arms around Mother Xu’s waist and bit her lips. Suppressing the sore feeling in her heart, she whispered to comfort her, "Mom, I’m fine. Tong’er’s fine, really. In the future, I won’t let anything happen to me, or let mom worry for me."

"As long as you’re fine, as long as you’re fine. My lady has finally grown up." Mother Xu looked down at Mo Xuetong and she really was not crying. There were no more tears from being wronged in her crystal clear eyes, but only the hint of a smile. Then, she felt relieved and thought. "She has finally grown up and won’t be bullied anymore!"

"Of course your lady is fine. But our Rong’er is not. I didn’t expect the Mo Family has such a vicious daughter." The hostile voice contained severe hate. Mdm Chen was yelling in front of their yard, and behind her, Yu Sirong, whose face was completed bandaged except for her mouth and nose, looked very hateful!

It seemed that the Yu Family would never leave a debt unresolved. They wanted to have their revenge now! However, they just thought that everyone was stupid because they dared to ask for injustice even when Yu Sirong did all this to herself from the very beginning.

"Mo Xuetong, you pushed me to the rocks to ruin my face. You’re so bad. I was so nice to you and didn’t expect you would hurt me." Seeing Mo Xuetong, Yu Sirong rushed to hit her, snarling.

Yu Sirong hated her so much. Initially, she planned to ruin Mo Xuetong’s face by pushing her onto those rocks. However, she didn’t expect Mo Xutong dodged her and passed out at her feet. Then, she not only couldn’t hold back herself but also tilted at a sharper angle. She could tell from the pain on her face that she had two scars on it. His beautiful face had been turned into a face of Mo Mu, the ugly concubine of the Yellow Emperor. The doctor she sent for had told her directly. "Even if I use the best medicine on you, there’ll be scars."

Thinking that she was disfigured by Mo Xuetong, she almost wanted to eat her flesh and drink her blood. She was so furious that her face became distorted. She hastily rushed forward and directly toward Mo Xuetong. She had seen it clearly. Beside Mo Xuetong, there was a wall and she was facing the corner of the wall. If she were pushed onto the edge, Mo Xuetong would either die or ruin a face. Until now, Yu Sirong was still thinking about destroying Mo Xuetong.

Mo Ye was planning to stop her but caught a glimpse of Qin Yuxuan, then, she paused her actions.

Qin Yuxuan swooshed past Yu Sirong and was knocked back a few steps by her. In the nick of time, he finally stood in front of Mo Xuetong, protecting her.

"Alright, everyone stops. Tell me what’s going on first." At this time, Mdm Qin came, with her maids and servants. She looked sullen and glared at Mo Xuetong.

Indeed, she did not like Yu Sirong. However, such an incident was about to cause trouble for Qin Family, which was a situation Mdm Qin found hard to cope with. Moreover, Mo Xuetong was involved, thus, unlike what she used to do, she could only stare at Mo Xuetong coldly. Mo Xuetong’s heart sank as she found Mdm Qin wasn’t warm to her as usual, then, she smiled wryly. "It looks like that Mdm Qin doesn’t really care about me deep in her heart!"

"Old Madam, there’s nothing left to say. The daughter of Yu Family was hurt like this. Shouldn’t we have our revenge?" Mdm Chen snorted and laid her sinister gaze upon Mo Xuetong. Then, she diverted her eyes on Qin Yuxuan and put on a cold face. "Yuxuan, don’t forget that Sirong is your real cousin. You didn’t help her; instead, you’re now standing with Mo Xuetong. Is there any relationship between you two?"

This sentence immediately attracted everyone’s attention to Mo Xuetong and Qin Yuxuan. They started to doubt at once!

"Why are you saying something like that? They’re both my cousins. How will I be biased? And, the incident isn’t settled yet. We shouldn’t jump to conclusions before grandmother knows everything. Aunt doesn’t have to worry. Sister Tong is still young, and don’t you feel shameful to lash out on her like that?" Qin Yuxuan’s face changed and eyes dimmed. Then, he calmly said that.

Quietly, he shifted the attention back on Mdm Chen and explained himself at the same time. After several incidents, he already grew tired of Yu Family and naturally wouldn’t treat them nicely.

"Kneel!" At the same time, Mdm Qin poked her staff heavily on the ground and coldly stared at Mo Xuetong. Since Yu Family’s first miss brought this up, she, as the highest-ranked person at present, would naturally want an explanation.

At once, the atmosphere became intense.

"Old Madam, it’s not our miss’s fault. She’s soft-hearted and timid. How would she hurt Miss Yu?" Listening to this, Mother Xu panicked. She rushed to kneel in front of Mdm Qin and defended her miss in a tearful tone.

"Old Madam, look at Sirong. How will she live in the future? Isn’t Mo Xuetong evil and vicious? She can hurt others when she’s little. How will she be when she grows up? Anyone who marries a wicked girl like her won’t have a peaceful family." Getting a cold shoulder from Qin Yuxuan, Mdm Chen had to glare at him and turned to Mdm Qin for help.

Now, Yu Sirong was really disfigured, plus Qin Yuxuan was obviously on Mo Xuetong’s side. Yu Sirong felt so upset that she buried her face in Mdm Chen’s arms and started to wail.

At once, more people came here.

Mo Xuetong walked over in a poised manner. She held Mother Xu’s hand and let Mo Lan lead her away from here. Then, she turned around to deeply bow to Mdm Qin. When she straightened up, her crystal clear eyes were spotless, without any hint of anger because of Mdm Qin’s words. "Does grandaunt think I pushed Miss Yu? I’ve been following you for a long time, so I can’t do something like that to Miss Yu. And I bear no grudge against Miss Yu, so why would I want to hurt her? Grandaunt, don’t be angry. It’s bad for your health. And the truth will come out eventually."

"Did you really not?" Under such a circumstance, Mo Xuetong still cared about her health, and also appraised her good virtue. Thus, Mdm Qin looked less gloomy, forgot her kneeling down, and just asked her in a low voice.

"Grandaunt, I was watching the purple bamboo and rocks. Miss Yu was standing beside me. How could I push Miss Yu in that position? I really can’t see why Miss Yu accused me of pushing her."

"Mo Xuetong, you’re talking nonsense. In the past, every time you were wronged, I would stand up to defend you. Every time you got hurt, I’d protect you. I didn’t expect you were so vicious as to kill me." Yu Sirong raised her head from Mdm Chen’s arms. Her teeth gnashed, she glared at Mo Xuetong, swearing in a tearful tone.

"Indeed, Miss Yu has been helping me a lot. Last time when I twisted my ankles, Miss Yu had a maid send me back. On the way home, the maid who supported me tripped and made me fall again. I nearly broke my leg. And, at that time, when Miss Yu’s cousin humiliated me in front of so many people, Miss Yu helped me out. After that, everyone said I was spoiled and rude. They said I disrespected elders and misbehaved myself. So many things like that had happened. Does Miss Yu want me to list every single one of them?"

Mo Xuetong looked up, her eyes tender and crystal clear, without the slightest fit of anger. She was so poised as if she were telling stories that had nothing to do with her. However, they all didn’t dare to stare into her deep eyes.

Everyone present was smart and found it strange that the first miss of Yu Family, who was known for her good virtue, wasn’t as nice as people had imagined. After listening to what Mo Xuetong said, they all found Miss Yu drunk on jealousy and skilled at plots. She seemed to put on shows in front of people and play dirty tricks behind them. She was really not a decent lady.

"Tong’er, is that true?" While asking Mo Xuetong, Mdm Qin was staring at Mdm Yu. She found it hard to believe.

Mdm Qin did not notice such trivial things, and Mdm Yu also hid these for her family’s niece. Mo Xuetong was a coward. She would even be frightened in front of Mdm Qin, let alone report these things to her. People around Old Madam wouldn’t bring up these for an out-of-favor miss to disgrace to their own lady. Thus, all of these things seemed to be buried in the dark.

"Mother, you don’t have to take these trivial things to heart. These are between those girls. At most, they have misunderstood Tong’er." Mdm Yu couldn’t take her gaze anymore and took the initiative to explain. At this time, she wished Yu Sirong could bump into the wall to kill herself. These were not secrets. As long as Mdm Qin asked, everyone in the manor could answer her. So many people lived in the family and they did not talk about them just because Mdm Yu wouldn’t let them. Now, when Mo Xuetong brought these things up, everyone knew that Mdm Yu was hiding them.

No matter how powerful the Yu Family was, they weren’t in a position to meddle with Qin Family’s affairs. Mdm Qin had already warned Mdm Yu because of Yu Sirong. If the Old Madam knew what she did, Mdm Yu would have to lead a tough life in the future.

Qin Yuxuan’s face sank.

"Aunt, I don’t know what Tong’er did to offend Miss Yu. I’ll let the past pass. But, today, Tong’er stood in front of Miss Yu. How could she push Miss Yu? Miss Yu tripped and fell, and Tong’er was startled to bump into the purple bamboo and also fell on the ground. Then, Miss Yu hit those rocks. If at that time, Tong’er did not dodge her, then she would have bumped into the rocks. Is Miss Yu accusing Tong’er for having dodging her?"
