Chapter 194 Behaving Stupidly, Fifth Princess was Filled with Jealousy and Hatred

For no reason, Mo Xuetong got flushed and a little angry. She fluttered her long eyelashes and she seemed a little aggrieved. She bit her lips and walked out with anger. It was not far. There was not much distance left to the second door and she could walk there to see for herself.

Behind her, Feng Yuran held his own arms and leaned over. Then he lifted his thin lips and seemed to be smiling, “Fifth Princess is here and chatting with Cousin Bai in our home at the second door. Your Second Sister can’t be fierce enough to get across the princess.”

Fifth Princess was here? She was chatting with Bai Yihao by the second door! Mo Xuetong opened her mouth and didn’t know what to say.

All women knew such a thing should be evaded from others!

But Fifth Princess did it so fearlessly. She had to admit that the children from the palace were different and tough. Although Mo Xueyan had a thick skin, she knew she had to be sneaky to chase after a man. However, Fifth Princess just blocked the door. The society really judged people according to their status. If Mo Xueyan did such a thing, she wouldn’t be married for her whole life. While Fifth Princess did such a thing, she would only be blamed for being unruly.

Nobody dared to judge the things done by the royal family.

“You should go back now and don’t come back again. This is not a safe place.” Feng Yuran suddenly stood up. Before Mo Xuetong spoke, he just lifted her up and jumped out from the back window. After two big leaps, they crossed several bawns and landed on a tree. Then he reminded her again, “After you get out, you should find a place for yourself to rest. Have you figured out what to say?”

Seeing his serious expressions, Mo Xuetong said obediently, “Yes!” After all, there was nobody asking about her whereabouts. When there was, she would have an answer.

“What is it?”

Mo Xuetong opened her mouth and said with much certainty, “I got lost!”

After she finished her words, Mo Xuetong’s face immediately turned red. It’s not the first time she had been here. She didn’t know how she came up with such a reason and what unlucky things she had bumped into!

Feng Yuran’s handsome face smiled even more like a demon. “It’s a good reason!” He lifted one eyebrow and his thin lips as if he were absorbed in a good show. But she thought he was ironic no matter how she perceived it, so her pink face flushed from embarrassment.

“Next time you go out, remember to bring Mo Ye with you. There are too many dangerous people in the capital now. Are the undercover bodyguards I assigned to you decorative? Besides, don’t forget what you have promised me!”

Feng Yuran finished his words and carried her to land on the ground quietly. Then he just leaped away before she could reply!

“The thing she had promised him.” What did she promise him? Mo Xuetong frowned and started to recall the conversations between them. After quite a while, she bluntly understood his meaning. She cutely frowned her delicate nose and thought he was being too serious so as to take a joke too seriously.

She couldn’t say how she felt inside. She couldn’t say whether she hated it or not. They were just words and she couldn’t stop him from talking. Though he was different from her cousins, he couldn’t determine his own marriage as a duke. So she just stopped thinking about it.

She looked up, trying to find where she was. Unexpectedly, she found herself by the residence she dwelled in the last time she visited. She walked in that direction and finally found a familiar maid. Then she asked the maid to find Mo Yu. Now that Mo Xueyan couldn’t cause a scene at the second door, she was relaxed and could rest for a while before she went out.

Mo Xueyan was very unlucky and very angry! Besides, she was very nervous!

She made much effort to get away from Mo Yu who was sent to watch her by Mo Xuetong. She circled several times before she reached the second door. Then she proudly walked across the bawn and expected to have an unexpected meeting with some handsome sir from a rich and famous family. However, just after she went out, she got confused. It was such a great scene!

A dozen of maids who were dressed nicely stood by both sides. In the middle was an elegant beautiful girl talking to a handsome boy!

Mo Xueyan hadn’t seen such a handsome boy in her whole life.

He just stood there under a white pine and was dressed in snow-white clothes. He looked so distant and charming that he didn’t look like a real person. He had carefree eyes, long straight nose, red and shiny lips, and elegant lower jaw curve. He looked so attractive and as gentle as jade.

Such a man was definitely incomparable especially when he looked at her gently. Was he being different to her? Mo Xueyan was so excited that she almost passed out.

It’s good that her maid was still sensible and dragged Mo Xueyan who was trying to run out. The maid pointed at the maids, lowered her voice and said hurriedly, “Miss, it must be a miss from a respected family going out. We have to evade from it.”

“Why do I have to evade? We all came to Fu General Manor as guests. Why can she go to the second door to chat with others while I can’t even go out?” Mo Xueyan seemed to have seen the charming young man waving at her, so she didn’t want to give up. She thought the man must have noticed her because he had glanced at her several times.

The quarrel over here had already bothered Fifth Princess, who had been busy chatting with Bai Yihao. Fifth Princess found him glimpsing behind her from time to time, so she turned around too. Then she instantly noticed Mo Xueyan who was pulling and pushing with a maid and got unhappy immediately.

Seeing Bai Yihao look at them over and over again, Fifth Princess said coldly, “Lingyue, go there and ask them what’s wrong.”

Hearing her words, Lingyue walked to them and sharply criticized Mo Xueyan who was probing. “You’re being too rude. How dare you not to greet in front of the princess?”

The princess! The elegant noble princess!

Mo Xueyan was shocked and came to herself instantly. She didn’t dare to drag with the maid anymore. Then her feet got weak and she knelt down with a thud. “I, an ordinary girl, greet the princess!”

There was an ordinary girl in Fu General Manor which made Fifth Princess hesitate too. She glanced at Bai Yihao who was smiling gently and said smilingly, “Cousin, how come there is an ordinary girl at the feast held by Fu General Manor? Do you want to go with me and have a look?”

The position she was at was right at the door, but Bai Yihao was outside of the door. If they wanted to see it together, Bai Yihao had to come closer to her.

Bai Yihao stepped up and crossed the second door. Then he walked in front of Fifth Princess. “Since you invited me, I shall have a look with you.”

She had invited him with so many methods, but her cousin wouldn’t come to her. But now that the girl was here, her cousin came in so easily. Was it because of this girl? Fifth Princess’s cold and jealous eyes landed on Mo Xueyan and searched her entirely. It was just a normal girl who was not very pretty and couldn’t even be compared to Lingyue in her palace. How did such a girl attract her cousin’s attention!

She walked quickly and kept up with Bai Yihao. Then they both stopped in front of Mo Xueyan.

Fifth Princess looked down on her and spoke coldly before Bai Yihao, “How did you get in? Why could an ordinary girl show up at the feast held by Fu General? If you are fake, you’ll be dead!”

When hearing that she would be killed, Mo Xueyan’s face turned pale and she hurriedly explained. “Princess, I didn’t get blended in. It’s my Third Sister who brought me in. But she had other business and left me here just now, and I got lost after a while. I was about to find my way back.”

She also knew how disgraceful it would be for a girl’s reputation to sneak out of the second door. Therefore, she just pushed all the blame onto Mo Xuetong.

Fifth Princess’s face was calm and dark like water, especially when she noticed Bai Yihao’s beautiful eyes were fixed on Mo Xueyan, she became furious. “I’ll definitely find out who your Third Sister is. If it’s fake, you can’t blame me for being vicious…”

“My Third Sister was the granddaughter of Fu General, the Third Miss in Mo Manor, Mo Xuetong. If you don’t believe me, you can send for her to answer your question.” Mo Xueyan didn’t dare to lift her head. And the maid behind her knelt on the ground and trembled.

Mo Xueyan had only seen misses from an official’s family. Never in her life had she seen a princess from a royal family. Her pride had already been turned into a weakness. When Fifth Princess asked, she almost answered it in a shivering voice. Just a moment ago, she was hiding away from Mo Xuetong, but now she hoped Mo Xuetong would find her soon.

“Mo Xuetong?” Fifth Princess looked at Bai Yihao with a vague smile, “Cousin, I heard that you had checked on this Third Miss Mo. I wonder how beautiful she can be to make you so gentle and caring.”

She seemed to be joking, but there was jealousy and hatred in her eyes.

Bai Yihao couldn’t smile anymore and said lightly, “Third Miss Mo’s cousin is my good friend. Now that this miss is Third Miss Mo’s older sister, we have a connection. Fifth Cousin should do me a favor and forgive her for being ill-mannered.”

Hearing that gentle voice begging for forgiveness for her, Mo Xueyan couldn’t help looking at Bai Yihao. That thin tall figure which was dressed in white made her confused. She didn’t have to ask to tell such a man was respected and dignified. Her heart began to beat wildly again.

Fifth Princess laughed out and leaned over. Then she teasingly looked at Mo Xueyan who was blank and Bai Yihao who was a bit disgusted, and lost the interest, “Since you said that you were willing to forgive her, I’ll do as you said. She’s just a poor ordinary girl.”

Her cousin would not notice such a girl!

After Mo Xueyan was driven away by several maids, Fifth Princess turned around and smiled to Bai Yihao, “Cousin, can you go to watch the lanterns with me on Lantern Festival? I heard that this year, the lanterns in Chang’an Street are more beautiful than those in the past years. Besides, there are ships loaded with lanterns in the lake, which would be much more fun than in the past years.”

Bai Yihao smiled lightly, “It will still be a few days before the Lantern Festival. By then, if I have time, I’ll definitely go into the palace and play with you cousins on the street.” He was gentle all the time, and his behavior and words were always elegant. Even if he was trying to refuse others, it sounded so elegant and couldn’t arouse others’ anger.

Fifth Princess stomped on the ground and said coquettishly, “Cousin, I said you would accompany me, not the other sisters!” She didn’t want to bring along a big crowd of sisters with them. She was not the only princess in the palace who wanted to own this cousin. Sixth Princess looked gentle on usual days, but when she saw this cousin, she acted like that bitch just now.

As if he hadn’t seen the jealousy in Fifth Princess’s eyes, Bai Yihao lifted his lips and said slowly, “I can’t say for sure now. But by then if I have time, I’ll tell you. Now it’s not a good time to talk. I have to leave first. King Yan wanted me just now.”

His voice sounded quite clear and soft, which was like the sound of ice and jade clashing. Such a tone, along with his distant temperament, couldn’t arouse Fifth Princess’s anger. Even if she saw him leaving without answering her questions, she just stepped hard on the ground and was angry at herself.

Lingyue smiled while trying to persuade her, “Princess, you don’t have to be angry with yourself. It’s all that woman’s fault. You can see that the minute you mentioned that Third Miss Mo, his attitude changed.” At the same time, Lingyue crouched to rub the foot for her which was hurt when kicking.

Yes, it must be that girl. Or else her cousin wouldn’t beg for forgiveness for that poor girl!

Fifth Princess missed Bai Yihao so much that it almost drove her mad and she wanted to marry him as soon as possible. But now it seemed that he was farther and farther away from her. She couldn’t help feeling jealous. There was nothing she couldn’t get in the entire world and it was the same with her cousin. She had to own him and all the women who could win her affection must die!

Fifth Princess’s eyes were filled with coldness and jealousy, “Lingyue, you have to figure it out for me that where this Third Miss Mo is. I really want to meet this Third Miss Mo!”
