Chapter 164 - Conspiracies All Around (1)
“Mingyue, what are you saying? Shut up!” Mo Yingyue looked at Leng Ruoxue apologetically with an awkward expression.
This self-righteous cousin of hers was really spoiled. Before coming, she had actually warned Mo Mingyue not to spout nonsense, but Mo Mingyue obviously didn’t take her words to heart.
“Big Sister Mo, is this your maidservant? How rude,” Leng Ruoxue said lightly with a gentle smile.
“How dare you! I’m the most favored second young lady of the Mo family! How dare you call me a maidservant!” Mo Mingyue roared furiously. In the Mo family, she was more favored than the current empress. If it wasn’t because the patriarch, her grandfather, had felt that the crown prince’s ascension was hopeless, how could Mo Yingyue have become the empress! In her eyes, Mo Yingyue was merely the daughter of a concubine, so she didn’t take Mo Yingyue seriously at all.
“Ruoxue, she’s my cousin, Mo Mingyue,” Mo Yingyue explained helplessly.
“So what if you are the second young lady of the Mo family? With your status, you don’t even have the qualifications to be my maidservant,” Leng Ruoxue mocked lightly. The Mo family was far inferior to the Five Great Families and imperial families. She didn’t even care about such top forces, but the daughter of a second-rate family actually dared to be so unbridled in front of her!
“How dare you say that about me! The emperor won’t let you go!” Mo Mingyue roared, her eyes blazing with jealousy and hatred.
“Big Sister Mo, let’s go in and have a seat!” Leng Ruoxue looked at Mo Mingyue like she was an idiot and ignored her anger.
“Okay.” Mo Yingyue followed Leng Ruoxue into the lounge.
“I’m sorry, honorable Second Miss Mo, my young lady didn’t invite you. You can’t go in,” Feng Da said expressionlessly while blocking the door of the lounge.
Mo Mingyue, who was about to follow them in, saw someone stopping her and said furiously, “Why can’t I go in?”
Why could Mo Yingyue enter but not her? This made her proud heart extremely unbalanced. She could go wherever she wanted in the imperial palace, and no one dared to stop her!
“Don’t you understand the human language? I told you, our young lady didn’t invite you!” Feng Da said impatiently. Why are all these noble ladies so brainless?
Hmph! Fine. Who cares about entering. This isn’t a good place anyway. It’s incomparable to the imperial palace! With this in mind, Mo Mingyue walked away angrily.
In the lounge…
“Big Sister Mo, don’t you have anything to say to me?” Leng Ruoxue said lightly, a little unhappy in her heart.
“I’m sorry, Ruoxue. I shouldn’t have brought her here,” Mo Yingyue said, a little embarrassed. Recently, Mo Mingyue had been staying in the palace. No matter where she went, Mo Mingyue would follow her, making her very annoyed!
“Big Sister Mo, haven’t you thought of a solution yet?” Leng Ruoxue asked. If not for Big Sister Mo, she would have asked someone to throw that eyesore out just now.
“Ruoxue, I… I’ve let you down.”
“Big Sister Mo, you didn’t let me down. You let yourself down. I don’t like women who compromise,” Leng Ruoxue said bluntly. If you wanted to deal with your enemies, it was impossible not to be cruel. Giving in would only make your enemies want a yard after taking an inch.
But she knew that Mo Yingyue had too many concerns and couldn’t be as carefree as her.
“Ruoxue, I will find a way to get rid of her as soon as possible,” Mo Yingyue said resolutely.
“Big Sister Mo, being the mother of a country isn’t easy. If you don’t want to be restrained by your family, you have to become stronger! You have to have your own power. Otherwise, you will only become a pawn of your family and always be used by them.”
Leng Ruoxue knew that Mo Yingyue was different from her. The education she received since childhood was to serve the family, unlike hers. Besides, Leng Ruoxue’s family didn’t have many people. But even if she had a large family, the family wasn’t important to her. She only cared about the people worthy of her attention.
“Ruoxue, I don’t want to become a pawn of my family and be used by them,” Mo Yingyue said resolutely.
“Then become stronger! Make everyone look up to you!” Leng Ruoxue encouraged.
“Okay, I will definitely become stronger. I won’t let my family restrict me anymore.” This time, Mo Yingyue had really made up her mind. It was not only to protect her man but also for her own freedom.
“Okay, Big Sister Mo, let’s go!” Leng Ruoxue nodded with satisfaction. She liked women with backbone.
When Leng Ruoxue and Mo Yingyue returned to the main hall of the restaurant, almost all the guests had arrived.
“Junior Aunt!”
Two surprising voices appeared behind Leng Ruoxue. She turned around and saw two middle-aged men standing not far away with smiles on their faces. The expression on their faces could only be described as flattering.
These two fellows! When Leng Ruoxue saw them, several black lines hung on her forehead. Why did they come? She was puzzled.
The two middle-aged men walked to Leng Ruoxue and said excitedly, “Junior Aunt, long time no see. We missed you so much.”
Those who knew their identities were so surprised that their jaws almost fell to the ground when they heard how they addressed Leng Ruoxue. Oh my god! Did we hear right? The president and vice president of the Artificer Association Headquarters actually addressed Leng Ruoxue as junior aunt. What’s going on? Is this a dream?
It hasn’t been that long, okay?! Leng Ruoxue was speechless. By the way, we’ve only met once. Why are you acting so friendly?
“Ruoxue, who are they?” Mo Yingyue asked curiously.
“They can be considered disciple-nephews I’ve recognized!” Leng Ruoxue explained. She didn’t know their names!
“Junior Aunt…” The two middle-aged men actually had a tacit understanding upon hearing Leng Ruoxue’s unwilling tone. They looked at Leng Ruoxue aggrievedly, as if she had abandoned them!
They were going all out! Their master had reminded them repeatedly to stick to Leng Ruoxue no matter what when they came. This mission could only succeed and not fail!
