Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter Chapter 713 - The Smart Yu Siyan

Chapter 713 The Smart Yu Siyan

“My Lady, what should we do now? These young ladies look so painful. I wonder if you could lend them your room to rest, see how their injuries are, and get changed.” Auntie Qing came out to take charge of the situation. She was the hostess today. As such an accident happened, the hostess had to think of a way to deal with it.

This incident happened in Qingwei Garden. Even though Mo Xuetong was of noble status, she could lend these young ladies a place to check their injuries and change their clothes. If Mo Xuetong did not allow them to change, it would be really unreasonable.

Furthermore, Mo Xuetong was a married daughter of the manor now. Even though the place was still reserved for her, it was just a token of the Mo Manor’s concern. In general, it still belonged to the Mo Manor. Auntie Qing was considered to be half a mistress today, and what she said made sense. As such, it was a feasible idea in reality as well as in human ethics.

Thus, Mo Xuetong could not refuse!

Actually, Mo Xuetong did not intend to refuse. Since they had plotted this so accurately, she would like to see what they were going to do next.

Giving a faint smile, she nodded in agreement. “Since they’re scalded, of course, they have to first take a look at the burns before applying the medicine. Auntie Qing, where would it be appropriate for them to take a look at their injuries and get changed?”

In addition to Mo Xuetong’s main room, there were some servants’ rooms. In the past, Mo Lan and the others used to sleep in the east wing and there were a few little maidservants in the west wing. Now, there were no people living in the courtyard, and only a few old and young maidservants came to clean it up from time to time.

“My Lady, look, they are all young ladies from noble families. To ask them to change clothes seems…” Auntie Qing uttered awkwardly. If Mo Xuetong was an ordinary married woman, it would not have to be so troublesome. They could definitely change clothes in Mo Xuetong’s room. However, Mo Xuetong was Consort Xuan, who had high status. There were some things that Auntie Qing could not say.

People of the royal family hated to have people in their houses. Mo Xuetong might not mind it in the past, but now…

However, the injured were all young ladies. It was not proper for them to casually go to the maidservant’s room to change clothes. They all came here as guests today, and this matter happened here. Mo Xuetong could not let them go to the wing room like this. It was normal for Auntie Qing to be in such a difficult situation.

No matter what, she was just a concubine, and couldn’t decide for Consort Xuan, Mo Xuetong.

The ladies and their family all turned their attention to Mo Xuetong, waiting for her to make the decision.

“Since Auntie Qing has said so, we have to let them enter my room. Otherwise, Auntie Qing will be blamed.” Mo Xuetong smiled slightly and her clear, watery eyes shone with a beam. She looked at the satisfaction that flashed across Auntie Qing’s face and the smile on her lips grew cold.

After hearing Mo Xuetong’s words, everyone stopped any further ceremony. Some maidservants helped the four young ladies into the inner room. A few other maidservants ran out and took the dresses they took.

Young ladies had always had the habit of taking one more dress when they attended banquets. They were afraid that something unexpected would happen and dirty their dresses. All the noble young ladies were delicate and valuable. If their dresses were stained, they could not show up in front of others. Therefore, it was inevitable to prepare an extra set of clothes.

As these young ladies were going to change clothes, not many people entered the inner room. Mo Xuetong accompanied a few madams and ladies to chat outside. Mo Lan and Mo Ye brought the few of the young ladies in.

There was a large screen in Mo Xuetong’s inner room. Mo Xuetong had found it from Luo Xia’s dowry. At that time, she had just returned to the capital, and Auntie Fang had deliberately made things difficult for her. The woman had given her an old-fashioned screen. Mo Xuetong did not argue with her and took out the screen from the warehouse.

Later, when she married into King Xuan’s Manor, the screen was too big and she did not take it away. As such, it was left in the Mo Manor.

The ones who were scalded were Yu Siyan, Wang Yilan, and the other two young ladies of the Mo Manor’s relatives. The four entered the inner room and two of them sat on the couch; the other two of them sat on the bed. Several maidservants helped them take off their dress and rolled up their pants to check their injuries. Wang Yilan was the one with the most serious injuries. A large piece of her thigh was splashed with water.

The pants had to be cut open.

The burns of the two young ladies of the Mo family were small. Yu Siyan was the least injured. There was a small red mark on her thigh and it did not seem to be swollen. It was slightly red. Everyone was sitting at that time and it was normal for it to be scalded on their thighs. A maidservant had already brought in the medicine prepared by the doctor of the manor.

The maidservants stood aside and carefully applied medicine to their mistresses’ wounds.

The injury on Wang Yilan’s thigh was so serious that there were large patches of blisters on it. It was so painful that she was tearful. No one could bear the pain of such a large patch of blisters. Wang Yilan looked at Yu Siyan, who was sitting opposite her, with some resentment. She was really angry. At that time, most of Yu Siyan’s tea had fallen on her, but the latter had just gotten a little burn. How could Wang Yilan not be angry?

“Miss Wang, your injury is the most serious. It seems that all the water has been poured to your leg. Isn’t it said to be because of the collision? Why are you injured so badly? According to the injury, it will take you a few months to recover.” Mo Lan came to see Wang Yilan, who had the most serious injury. She could not help but sigh when she saw how serious her injury was.

It looked really scary. The large area of blisters was red and swollen, and it was bright. Anyway, it looked scary.

Hearing her words, Wang Yilan was even more scared. She raised her face that was covered with tears and stared at Yu Siyan opposite her. Until Yu Siyan raised her head uneasily, she said angrily, “Second Miss Yu, I remember that there seemed to be no people on the other side of you. Why did you pour all the water on me?”

This was really a disaster. The more Wang Yilan thought about it, the angrier she became. She vaguely remembered that there seemed to be no one on the other side of Yu Siyan. Why couldn’t she hold the cup firmly and poured most of the water on her?

“I… I don’t know either. It seems that someone hit my hand and I couldn’t hold it firmly. So… Miss Wang, I’m sorry. If it had not been for me, you wouldn’t have been burned so badly. I’m sorry.” Yu Siyan looked at Wang Yilan timidly with a guilty look and kept apologizing.

Seeing her look, even though Wang Yilan was full of anger, she didn’t know what to say for a while. She could only lower her head and accept the bad luck.

“Forget it. Since it’s already like this, let’s just rest for a few days. No one wants this to happen.”

“Second Miss Yu has also been injured. She couldn’t hurt yourself for no reason, could she? The medicine is not bad. Just now, the maidservant has said that you will not leave a scar if you take a good rest.”

The other two young ladies of the Mo family tried to smooth things over. After all, it happened in the Mo Manor today, and it was not good for the reputation of the Mo Manor if they made a big deal out of this.

“Miss Mo, it’s all my fault. I didn’t know who hit me just now. I had held the cup firmly… but it was knocked down and I implicate you three.” Yu Siyan’s attitude was really good, and she repeatedly apologized to the other people in a soft voice.

Mo Lan and Mo Ye, who were standing by the side, looked at each other and lowered their heads to hide the mocking look in their eyes.

“Well, well, no one wants to be like this. It’s already like this. What else can we do?” Wang Yilan had to say generously. Although she was not happy in her heart, she also felt that it was really an accident. No one was willing to have this accident.

After the doctor’s medicine was applied, the four young ladies could only rest inside. They could not put on the dress outside now. They had blisters and greasy ointment. It was better for them to rest more so that the ointment would not stick to their clothes when they put on their dresses. The maidservants had prepared a cushion for each of them and asked them to rest against it.

Even though their leg hurt, the medicine of the Mo Manor was really good. They felt much better after the medicine was applied. Furthermore, these ladies were all young, so it was no way for them to just sit there. Then they slowly talked. Wang Yilan leaned against the end of Mo Xuetong’s bed and looked at the table in front of the bed. There were some books that Mo Xuetong used to read on the table beside her.

Her injury was the most serious. After a few words, she felt limp. She wanted to use something to divert her attention. The pain in her leg came one wave after another. She frowned because of the pain and was absent-minded when she talked to others.

“Miss Wang, is it very painful?” Yu Siyan was the first to notice her abnormality and asked with concern.

“Yes, it hurts,” Wang Yilan answered weakly.

“Then, do you want to read books?” Yu Siyan pointed at the pile of books owned by Mo Xuetong. Her eyes flashed as she asked. The pile of books was right beside Wang Yilan. She had thought about it earlier as well. However, those were Consort Xuan’s things. It was not good to take them without permission.

“Miss Wang, take a book if you want to. Consort Xuan won’t mind. Since she didn’t bring these books to King Xuan’s Manor, Consort Xuan doesn’t value them. You can take a book for each of us. Let’s talk to Consort Xuan later,” Yu Siyan suggested with a smile.

The three of them were all a little intrigued by her words. Then they thought that what she said made sense. If they were really something important, how could Mo Xuetong not bring them to King Xuan’s Manor? Since it was piled up here, it meant that these books were not important. The few of them rested in the room and did not have much energy to chat about, and it was boring to just sit there. It was indeed a good idea to read a book.

“Her Lady won’t… blame us, will she?” a young lady of the Mo family asked hesitantly.

“She probably won’t. Her Lady is very generous. Since she has allowed us to go to the inner room to rest, it is fine for us to find a few books to read. Anyway, we will all apologize to her later. Her Lady will definitely not blame us.” Yu Siyan brought up the topic again, which reminded everyone that after what had happened just now, Consort Xuan still had a gentle expression on her face. Then they involuntarily relaxed.

“Miss Wang, find me a book. Any book will do.” One of the two young ladies of the Mo family spoke first.

The books were right beside Wang Yilan. As long as she reached out, she could reach them. Just now, the maidservants were driven out by them so that the room could be quiet. Only a maidservant of the Mo Manor was standing at the door of the inner room to serve them. At this time, something funny happened outside, and the maidservant’s attention was drawn entirely to the outside and she didn’t notice what the young ladies in the room said at all.
