Chapter 1076 - 345: Revenge Taken, Danger Approaches
"What, Fan Meijiao knocked over Lord Mu Second’s cousin, Mr. Mu? Are you sure you didn’t hear it wrong?" Mo Yan stared at Xuetuan incredulously, unable to believe her own ears.
She hadn’t used the hallucinogenic drug, so how did Fan Meijiao manage to sabotage herself?
The questioned Xuetuan suddenly puffed up, saying loudly, "If there’s a mistake, it’s Little Flat Feather who got it wrong. How could I possibly mishear?"
The innocent Little Green Bird shook its head, tinier than a thumb, toward Mo Yan, indicating that it hadn’t made any mistake.
"Uh, don’t be angry, don’t be angry, I just can’t believe Fan Meijiao would do such a thing, not that I didn’t believe you," Mo Yan quickly apologized to Xuetuan. This creature’s temper was growing by the day, bristling at the slightest thing.
"Humph, I forgive you. I am not as petty as you are, always nitpicking over my minor mishaps!" Xuetuan arrogantly turned its small body around, presenting its backside (it has one?) to Mo Yan.
Mo Yan ground her teeth, suddenly feeling she had been too lenient with Xuetuan; otherwise, why would it dare effrontery to mock her like this, as if it had swallowed fireworks?
Sensing the murderous aura from behind, Xuetuan quickly spun around, glaring at Mo Yan with caution: "You should think about what to do next instead. Even though Fan Meijiao’s disgraceful attempt failed, the Mu Family will still not let her off the hook. It’s very likely they will kill her outright."
No wonder Xuetuan’s thoughts were so ruthless, it was because that’s exactly the way the Mu Family conducted their affairs. This time, Fan Meijiao’s actions had crossed the Mu Family’s bottom line, and for the sake of maintaining their century-old family’s reputation, they couldn’t let her off.
The incident had to be traced back to after Fan Meijiao married into the Mu Family and returned to her bridal chamber. It happened when Fan Meijiao, having waited for a long time without Lord Mu Second lifting her bridal veil, let her hunger get the best of her and had someone bring her a bowl of silver ear and lotus seed soup from the kitchen. Along the way, Little Green Bird had laced the soup with a strong dose, and after drinking it, she quickly became aflame with desire.
Perversely, Lord Mu Second had never taken this continuation wife seriously, even neglecting to lift her veil before he left to find entertainment elsewhere. Desperate, Fan Meijiao ignored the maids’ advice and lifted the veil herself, darting to the outer courtyard in her red wedding dress in search of Lord Mu Second.
