After dinner, Mo Xuemin heard that Mo Xuetong had wakened up. She had dinner late and had dispatched someone to pay attention to what happened at Qingwei Garden. When she heard that Mo Xuetong had wakened up, and Luo Youwen and Bai Yihao had left, she then resentfully brought Mo Xiu to Lihua Garden which belonged to Auntie Fang.
Since Mo Huawen knew Auntie Fang was pregnant, he canceled Auntie Fang's grounding. The other two concubines in the mansion brought much stuff to see her. They fawned on her and flattered her. When they were gone, Auntie Fang was still too excited to calm down. Thinking about that Mo Xuetong had passed out and was poised between life and death, but the doctors were at their wit's end, she must be very close to death on any occasion.
She was so happy inside!
Without this little bitch, she would be the mistress of the mansion!
Feeling so happy, she had the supper early with the attendance of the maid and started thinking when lying in bed that if Mo Xuetong died, she would be in charge of Luo Xia's dowry. Thus she would have to choose some anyway, which she had been longing for such a long time.
After the death of Luo Xia, Auntie Fang was in charge of the accommodation of Mansion Mo actually, but it didn't contain Luo Xia's dowry. All the stuff in the dowry had been locked in Mo Huawen's little warehouse. Then they were transported to the capital, which was arranged by Mo Huawen himself. Auntie Fang didn't even have a chance to touch it.
Although Auntie Fang wasn't sure what they were, she understood that there must be plenty of great stuff. As soon as Mo Xuetong died and she got the position of the main wife, Min'er would be the first daughter of Mo Huawen, and Feng'er would be the only son in this mansion. It wouldn't matter whether she gave birth to a son or daughter next, and there would be no one in the mansion who could get in her way.
Those dowries would be in her hand at last. And by then no matter how much the old sir missed that woman and her daughter, it would mean nothing. How could anyone dead get out of the grave to struggle against her? When thinking complacently, she laughed out unconsciously under the lamp.
"What is concubine so happy for, maybe it's for Mo Xuetong's wakening up." By the side of the opened door, the ironic expression showed on Mo Xuemin's beautiful face, which completely destroyed her fame of being kind-hearted and generous. She closed the door coldly, and derided, "I hear that the third sister is so lucky that she wakes up now without anything wrong. You, the concubine, must still be thinking about getting the position of the main wife. As long as that girl is still alive, you don't even have a chance."
There was not anyone else, so Mo Xuemin didn't have to pretend to be lovely or gentle. Her words were so acrimonious. She really looked down on Auntie Fang, who was the first daughter of the Yu's. Even if she had become a concubine because of her uncertain antecedents, now the main wife was dead, but she still couldn't get the positon of the main wife. As a result, she was the daughter of a concubine, and couldn't get a good marriage. Those were all the results of her status.
Now that Mo Xuetong wasn't finished off, she even dreamt of getting the position of the main wife. She had been very angry from last night till then. She had thought that Sima Lingyun was smart and faithful to her. But she realized that he was not only stupid but also fickle. When thinking of last night, when he told her to be his concubine, Mo Xuemin wanted to bite him to death.
She was not Auntie Fang, who was so happy to be a concubine.
Especially when she saw Auntie Fang's stupid smiling face, she thought if she became a concubine, she might be as foolish as her. Thus she would have no time to disguise and would reveal her dissatisfaction and anger.
Auntie Fang was always afraid of this smart eldest daughter. In front of other people, she was a lovely and gentle daughter, kind to others, and showed filial obedience to her. She was also talented and was thought of as a very famous talented woman. But in private, she was the only one who knew how ruthless and cruel she was.
Since she was little, she pretended to be dutiful and gentle in front of others. In private, she was always sarcastic. She knew that she looked down upon her for her concubine status, and she used this to satirize her everytime her could. However, angry as she was, she was still her daughter. Besides, she had to rely on her scheming to get the position of the main wife.
"That bitch woke up? Didn't they say she wouldn't wake up and the funeral affairs were arranged?" Auntie Fang was very sad, stopped smiling and explained.
"Concubine got the message too slowly. The message was too overdue. You heard from dad that he would give you the position of the main wife. Now a year passed by, and father don't mention that any more. He even locked you up. I don't know how accurate your words can be." Mo Xuemin laughed grimly, and left Auntie Fang disgraceful directly.
"Your father can't hurry about this. That bitch's mother had been dead for just a year or so, and your father had to wait for some time." Auntie Fang explained and her face reddened."
"I have only heard about a woman maintain chastity after the death of her husband, but I haven't heard that of a man keeping loyalty for a woman for three years. Auntie Fang, you're too simple and naive. Not long ago, when you framed Mo Xuetong, you didn't say it like that. So please tell me with full confidence that it must work this time. You want me to follow your words. But what did I get when I listened to your words? Concubine can't have forgotten that you nearly got me in trouble at last!"
Mo Xuemin groaned grimly. When Mo Xuetong just came, Auntie Fang confidently told her that she would take hold of Mo Huawen, and that she should hold the clothes of family ceremony and wait by the side and when Mo Xuetong exited, she could take the place.
But at last, what happened? She got herself trapped in trouble and even got her father suspicious of her, which made her very angry when Mo Xuemin thought about it right now.
"That bitch is too cunning, I didn't expect her to..." Auntie Fang couldn't say a word when faced with her daughter's sarcasm. She sat up furiously and said.
"Didn't expect? There are too many things concubine can't think of. You don't believe that you're foolish, but if you're clever, why would you still be here? Anyway you should go to Qingwei Garden more. She is the daughter that father cares most about. The child you're pregnant with can't be the first one. So it would mean nothing when the child is born. Even if it's a boy, you have already had big brother, it's not important to have one more or one less."
Mo Xuemin sat on the chair on the side and said grimly, and there was cruelth in her eyes. She coldly looked at Auntie Fang's belly that didn't reveal her pregnancy.
"You, what do you mean?" Auntie Fang reached out her hand and pressed her belly alertly. At the same time, she tucked herself into her bed more and said plaintively.
"Concubine still don't understand. You can't get rid of that girl right now no matter what you do. She has Luo Fu to support her, and father is at her side. So there must be a good marriage for her in the future. If she gets an even higher status through the marriage, with her status, when she doesn't agree with father to give you the position of the main wife, your crying will be of no use." She said tauntingly and impolitely.
"I have Feng'er, who is the only son in the mansion, along with the other two in my belly. Your father will consider for us." Auntie Fang said malcontently.
"Big brother, a man like him, doesn't seem to get father's favor in my eyes. Even if you're pregnant with a boy, it will take more than ten years to have a good prospect. You maybe patient enough to wait as a concubine, but my elderly brother and I have no time to wait as a concubine's child. Father is not very old. If he marries a new wife and has a new legitimate son, there will be no chance for your second son. Concubine gave birth to us to let us be concubine's child forever?" Mo Xuemin frowned and said disdainfully.
Mo Yufeng was the only son of Mo Huawen, but in fact, Mo Huawen didn't like Mo Yufeng that much. Mo Yufeng always let him down and didn't have a talent in studying. Ordinarily, he never did anything serious with those dandies. His study was empty all year round. Mo Huawen scolded him for several times but it didn't work. He was happy inside. Due to the fact that he was the only son in the mansion, Mo Huawen couldn't do anything about him.
Auntie Fang was quite clear about that, so she said it to Mo Yufeng for several times, but he wouldn't listen. He just said that he was the only son of his father, so the entire mansion would belong to him in the future. He had nothing to be afraid of. No matter how badly he acted, was it possible that father beat him to death? Looking at the laziness on his face, Auntie Fang was very angry.
But no matter what, Mo Yufeng was her own son. So Auntie Fang was quite furious when she heard her daughter grimly satirize herself and Mo Yufeng. She removed her hand from her belly. With her hands full of blue veins, she pointed at Mo Xuemin and said, "Are those words supposed to be said by a daughter? Mo Xuemin, I'm your mother, Feng'er is your elder brother. Whatever we did, we're your relatives. Your father has never said anything about marrying a new wife. What he said was that she had just died, so he couldn't give me the position of the main wife, which might break that little bitch's heart and make her sad. Besides, considering General Manor, if that girl doesn't agree and go back to General Manor to oppose, it will be a big problem for us.
"Concubine, until now, you're still defending for father. You should see how father act toward you these days. Even though you have a baby, that girl is still the first one for dad to think of. If you're really clever, you should earn some benefits for your two children. The one in your belly, who is born yet, don't need that much care. No matter how talented he might be, he isn't a legitimate son." Mo Xuemin snapped at Auntie Fang.
Thinking of her own status as a concubine's daughter, Mo Xuemin was very angry. If it's not for her status, she wouldn't lose the chance to enter the imperial palace, be pointed at the nose with the accusation of wild fantasy, or nearly become a concubine of Sima Lingyun. If the thing that happened last night happened to Mo Xuetong, Duke's manor would give her the position of the main wife of His Excellency without a word and would not hesitate about it. That actually made her ashamed, as if she wanted to be someone's concubine so desperately.
Concubine's daughter, concubine's daughter, she definitely didn't want to be a concubine's daughter!
Her sharp eyes glanced over Auntie Fang's belly which was not obviously pregnant, and it looked so cold.
Auntie Fang felt frightened when seeing her eyes. She held her belly back, and nervously murmured, "You can't be scheming over the... baby... in my belly?"
"Auntie Fang, all of your children survived, so you should also consider for us. If you don't get the position of the main wife right away, my elder brother's marriage and mine will be affected. A concubine's son or daughter can only marry into a small family at best. Although my father just got promoted, no rich and powerful family would marry a concubine's daughter as the main wife." Thinking about her beautiful face and talents being ignored for her status as a concubine's daughter, Mo Xuemin wanted to hit Auntie Fang to sober her up.
She couldn't go into the imperial palace or marry a prince, but she could still marry into Minguo Manor. You Yuecheng from the mansion was pretty handsome and sweet to her. If she was the legitimate daughter, he might have proposed to her. A few days ago, she heard that the manor was looking for a main wife for You Yuecheng. She had no time to waste.
"Auntie Fang, if you want to frame that girl, it's the best to use the baby in your belly." Those gruesome words made Auntie Fang, who was lying in bed, started to tremble. She covered her belly unbelievably, pointing at Mo Xuemin and said, "This, this is your younger brother?"
After dinner, Mo Xuemin heard that Mo Xuetong had wakened up. She had dinner late and had dispatched someone to pay attention to what happened at Qingwei Garden. When she heard that Mo Xuetong had wakened up, and Luo Youwen and Bai Yihao had left, she then resentfully brought Mo Xiu to Lihua Garden which belonged to Auntie Fang.

Feeling so happy, she had the supper early with the attendance of the maid and started thinking when lying in bed that if Mo Xuetong died, she would be in charge of Luo Xia's dowry. Thus she would have to choose some anyway, which she had been longing for such a long time.
