Chapter 530 The Plum Job That Madam Lian Vied for

“Madam Lian, your two maids are so straightforward and adorable. Mo Lan, reward them.” Mo Xuetong opened her red lips slightly and said. Mo Lan came over immediately and took out two purses. Ming Yu and Ming Xia took the purses and gave them a pinch. They felt that there were at least two taels of silver. They looked at each other in surprise, knelt down and kowtowed to show their gratitude.

Even though they had taken the salary of the first-class maid in Lian’s Manor, Lian’s Manor was not a wealthy family, and they had few rewards in normal times. Now that they had already received a month’s salary, how could they not be overjoyed? They stood behind Madam Lian and looked at Mo Lan and Mo Ye. Both their bearing and clothes were the best. Then, they looked at the decorations in the room and found that they were all of the high quality. They could not help but feel a yearning for King Xuan’s Manor.

If they came to King Xuan’s Manor, their appearance would be definitely as beautiful as these people. Maybe she could attract Feng Yuran’s attention, which meant that she would be rich and powerful in the future.

Ming Yu looked at Ming Xia’s flushed face and scolded her in her heart, “Bitch!” She knew that she was dreaming again. She usually hooked up with Lian An once she had the chance, and after seeing how wealthy King Xuan’s Manor was, she would definitely think of ways to hook up with King Xuan. Mo Xuetong seemed to like straightforward people. “Bitch, as long as I am around, don’t even think about King Xuan.”

Ming Xia also saw that Ming Yu was looking at the people in the room with bright eyes. She pursed her lips secretly. She was scheming than Ming Yu. Of course she had to behave well at this time. As such, she behaved very steadily. As soon as she thought of that she would live here and see the handsome King Xuan, she could not help but blush.

The two maids stood behind Madam Lian with their own thoughts. They had long forgotten that they were still the maids of the Lian’s Manor.

On the other side, Madam Lian suppressed the anger in her heart and did not look at the two maids. She smiled and said to Mo Xuetong, “My Lady, it wasn’t my fault that day. I didn’t know why Sir Yu followed me in. I thought he had got an invitation to the manor.”

She was rather embarrassed to mention it because Mo Xuetong had interrupted her earlier. When she saw Mo Xuetong’s face darkening, she knew that it was inappropriate to bring up the topic while Mo Xuetong was happy. However, no matter how inappropriate it was, she had to clarify her intentions. Her husband had always told her not to argue with King Xuan’s Manor.

When it came to her husband, Madam Lian trusted him.

“Madam Lian, don’t you know that Her Lady is ill?” Mo Yu said coldly. Her gaze was unfriendly as she looked at Madam Lian.

“How dare you!” Mo Xuetong’s face darkened and she said softly.

Mo Yu was so scared that she knelt on the ground. She defended, “My Lady, I dare not to be presumptuous. But what I said was true. This morning, His Highness said that he would give you justice and was going to ask His Majesty for help to investigate this matter thoroughly.”

King Xuan was going to ask the Emperor for help to investigate this matter thoroughly?

Madam Lian was startled. She didn’t forget that her husband had repeatedly told her that this matter had to be minimized before she came to King Xuan’s Manor. If the Emperor decided to investigate it, it would be hard to explain. If Yu Mingyong really wanted to implicate her, it would be hard to deal with this matter.

Madam Lian felt sweat on her forehead and didn’t dare to sit aside to watch fun anymore. “My Lady, she is right. It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, Sir Yu wouldn’t have been able to get into the manor. It’s also my fault that you got sick in rage.” She smiled and repeatedly said that it was all her fault.

Mo Xuetong’s expression softened and she coughed softly. She wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and looked tired. She said, “Madam Lian, that is overstating. What does this have to do with Madam Lian? You didn’t have to apologize again and again. It’s my fault for my poor health and I can’t blame anyone else.”

Mo Xuetong took a sip of the tea Mo Lan handed her. Then she clutched her chest and panted, looking as if she was feeling terrible. There was a little sweat on her forehead.

“My Lady, you’re already in such a state but you’re still thinking about others. My Lady, I am willing to pray for you in the temple. I... I...” Mo Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly started to cry. “I will definitely beg the Bodhisattva to help you recover quickly and make the bad people pay for it. No, even if the Bodhisattva does not do so, His Highness will make them pay for it.”

Mo Yu said angrily. She looked at Madam Lian while crying, making the madam get in a cold sweat.

King Xuan had beaten more than 10 concubines to death a few days ago. His vicious name could make a crying child stop crying. Even Madam Lian thought of this lawless man. Even though he had killed so many people, he had only been scolded while all the censors in the court were threatened by the Emperor. If it happened in the past, she would not believe it.

Now, no matter others said what this man had done, she would believe it.

When she thought that if something really happened to Consort Xuan, he might come to her manor and make a scene, and even pulled her husband down, it would be big trouble. She heard that since King Xuan married Mo Xuetong, he had been very concerned about the little wife. She couldn’t make him have evil intentions towards her husband just because of Consort Xuan.

But how could she resolve this problem? She had thought that it was enough if she could come here to apologize and give gifts. But now she had just apologized, and Madam Lian didn’t dare to show her gifts as she saw the magnificent ornaments in this room. With those things, would Consort Xuan like her gifts?

What should she do?

Looking at the maid kneeling on the ground and the silent Mo Xuetong leaning on the couch with a poker face, Madam Ling suddenly thought of something. She immediately stood up and said with a smile, “My Lady, I’m willing to pray for you in the temple. All in all, I’m responsible for this matter. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t be so sick. Please give me an opportunity to make up for it.”

This was indeed an opportunity, an opportunity to build a closer relationship with King Xuan’s Manor and also an opportunity to get rid of this matter.

In the eyes of Madam Lian, even if Mo Xuetong was ill, it was not a serious illness. After all, she was so young. How could she die of illness at such a young age? She must be depressed. It was not a big deal. The illness would be cured as long as she was happy.

If she were to pray for her at this time, she would definitely be able to please her. Then, when she recovered, her relationship with Mo Xuetong would grow closer. Her husband might need King Xuan’s help on his future. As such, in the eyes of Madam Lian, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

No wonder that this smart girl would say such a thing before others. She was trying to please Consort Xuan.

How could she give such a good idea to a maid!

“It’s, it’s not good! Madam Lian, you’re the Minister’s wife, how can you do something like that for me!” Mo Xuetong looked a little uneasy and sat up with the help of Mo Lan.

“What are you talking about, My Lady? It is indeed my fault. I feel terrible. As I saw that you were still ill today, I felt uneasy. If I could pray for you, I would feel peaceful. Please, My Lady, give me peace!” Madam Lian was even politer to her. She seemed as if Mo Xuetong did not want her to have peace if she did not allow her to do it.

A hint of coldness flashed in Mo Xuetong’s eyes. “Lian An is good at acting. His wife doesn’t look simple either. They’re really a good match. No wonder both Lian An and Madam Lian have good reputations. But if this smart Madam Lian found that He Yuxiu she used to like to be her husband’s mistress, what will she do? Will she be loyal to Lian An?”

The two masters of the He family were said to be in the Lian’s Manor, and Consort Zhao depended on him most. If the Lian’s Manor became restless, then would the resourceful and tactful Minister Lian have the time to help Consort Zhao in the palace?

“Since Madam has said that, it would be a little unreasonable if I do not agree. Mo Lan, prepare a gift to thank Madam Lian for me. I will definitely come to visit and thank Madam Lian when I recover.” Mo Xuetong’s beautiful eyes were filled with gratitude. She held on to Mo Lan as if she was about to get up and thank Madam Lian.

However, her body was limp and she failed to stand up. Madam Lian was so scared that she kept saying, “My Lady, please don’t do that. My Lady, please don’t do that. My Lady, just have a good rest. I will go back and prepare to pray for you in the temple.”

“Thank you so much, Madam Lian.”

“That’s my duty. I won’t disturb your rest, My Lady. I’ll go back first.” Seeing how weak Mo Xuetong was, Madam Lian hurriedly took her leave. She was a smart person who could take the hint.

Mo Xuetong tried to ask her to stay, but Madam Lian insisted on leaving. She did not persuade any longer and got Mo Yu to send Madam Lian out.

Ming Yu and Ming Xia thought that Madam Lian would stay for a while so that they could observe King Xuan’s Manor more carefully. They didn’t expect that Madam Lian left in a hurry before her seat warmed up. They were anxious in their hearts, but they had no choice. They had to follow Madam Lian and looked a little depressed.

King Xuan’s Manor was so grand and they hadn’t seen enough of it.

“Sisters, do you like this place?” Mo Yu took two steps back and stood beside the two maids abreast as she asked gently. She was not as rash as she had been earlier. Instead, she was very kind.

“Oh, I like it very much, Sister Mo Yu. King Xuan’s Manor is so big. There must be dozens of maidservants in this manor, right?” Ming Xia said with a smile, as if she had not seen Ming Yu roll her eyes at her.

“Yeah, yeah. Sister Mo Yu, Her Lady is really a nice person. I like her.” Ming Yu immediately went up to her and tried to butter up to her.

“Her Lady is a kind person, and His Highness treats us very well. He usually gives us money as a reward, and it’s very good to be a servant in the manor. There are hundreds of young and old maidservants in the manor and they all say that Her Lady is a good person. The reason why His Highness beat those concubines to death a few days ago is that those women were too bold and had done evil things.”

Mo Yu smiled innocently. Ming Yu and Ming Xia exchanged glances and felt that the opportunity had come. Immediately, they walked to each side of her and started to chat with Mo Yu intimately. Both of them had their own intentions at this time. Furthermore, the maidservant was not scheming at all, and it seemed that it was easy for them to get some information from her than from the maid who served Mo Xuetong closely.

Madam Lian was thinking about praying for Mo Xuetong. When she thought of the benefits hidden in this, she was wondering how much she and her husband could gain. She did not notice that the three maidservants behind her had gathered together and were whispering about private things.
