Chapter 20 Sparing and Transaction
Bai Yihao looked into the dark eyes of the girl in front of him. Her eyes clear as a mountain stream and she looked at him with calm determination. Nobody had ever looked at him like that.
He had never thought that such a delicate young girl could even look at him so calmly. Her eyes were alert, nervous, but not hostile. He could see some helplessness and bitterness in those beautiful eyes. They were deep, bright, and sharp, completely different from her frail appearance.
Yet something about those wise eyes only made her more pitiable. She was too young to carry so much weight, too calm for a child. What could have happened to make her like this?
There was a hint of stubbornness in her eyes too, barely visible, but he could see it clearly. He came to a new decision in a split second. Bai Yihao smiled gently.
"Why do you think I will help you? A daughter of an eminent family making such an appointment with an unknown man would be bad for your reputation."

Mo Xueqiong knew there was no hiding what she'd done. She began to blurt out the truth, sobbing the whole time.When she'd gone to Mo Xuetong's courtyard, Mo Xueqiong had seen Mo Xuemin making tea for Sima Lingyun. The two seemed inappropriately close, and Mo Xueqiong immediately got jealous.Without knowing anything about the situation, she went up and questioned Mo Xuemin. She'd even pushed Mo Xuemin. The two had fallen to the ground and...Mo Huawen was so angry he was practically smoking. He had always known how unruly his fourth daughter was, but he hadn't expected his eldest daughter to behave like this as well. She'd brought a man into her younger sister's courtyard, even flirted with him. Did she care about her reputation at all?"Go. Go back to your courtyards. Copy the Classics for Women thirty times.

It was a silent night. The moon was beautiful. The lights in Qingwei Garden were lit.Mo Xuetong leaned against the couch and watched as Mo Lan packed up her clothes for their journey tomorrow.The room was so quiet she could hear the candle flickering, sound suddenly disruptive in the dead silence of the night.Mo Lan could no longer hold in her worries."Miss, are we really going to the Temple of Atonement tomorrow? Auntie Fang went to tell your father for a reason. She must be up to something." "Eldest Sister has devised such an excellent excuse. I would look unfilial if I didn't go. Even father has agreed, so how can I not go?" Mo Xuetong tapped her long slender fingers on the couch thoughtlessly. She was thinking about the past few days.Mo Xuemin had fallen into her traps again and again since she returned to the capital. How could Mo Xuemin and Auntie Fang be willing to take that lying down? She didn't know when Mo Xuetong and Sima Lingyun
Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter Chapter 24 The Temple of Atonement
Mo Xuetong brought Mo Lan, Mo Yu, and two other maids sent by Auntie Fang.Shuang Ye was beautiful, while Qiu Ling was quiet and reserved. Mo Xuetong leaned against the carriage wall and closed her eyes, still exhausted from her restless night. Mo Lan was also dozing off against the window. Only Mo Yu looked energetic.The maids spoke quietly, letting their mistress sleep."Mo Yu, why is Third Miss so tired? Is she feeling ill?" Shuang Ye asked softly, looking at Mo Xuetong's pale and haggard appearance."Miss has always been weak. She was tired and had a lot to prepare for before the journey to the Temple of Atonement so she did not sleep well," Mo Yu said lightly. She already didn't trust Shuang Ye."Oh, Big sister Mo Yu..." Shuang Ye still wanted to say more, but Mo Yu waved, gesturing for her to be silent.Shuang Ye opened her mouth, and then shut again it helplessly.They did not speak for the entire way there. When they reached the bas

After dinner, Mo Xuetong was told her presence was requested in the hall beside the meditation garden, alone. The night was dark enough to make it hard to see who approached her, but it looked like a guard. They gave Mo Lan a sheet of paper with the same symbol. The paper seemed brittle and old.Mo Lan had not wanted to let Mo Xuetong go alone, but Mo Xuetong was insistant. She couldn't risk offending whoever she was meeting. She needed those guards. Mo Yu dragged Shuang Ye and Qiu Ling back to Mo Xuetong's rooms to work on their embroidery.Mo Xuetong walked the quiet path alone. In both her lives, she had always been hidden in the back courtyards. She had never gone out secretly to meet anyone in the dark night. She looked calm, but her fingers were clenched tightly and her hands were cold.The Buddhist hall was not too far away. It cast enough light to keep Mo Xuetong from getting lost, but there was no moonlight to light her way tonight. Silence filled the medi

All was silent that night. Mo Xuetong woke up early the next morning. Like the day before, she first went for morning lessons with the temple monk and then asked the lead abbot to recite blessing scriptures for her mother. She listened to the chanting until noon and then had a hurried lunch. The afternoon was filled with another blessing activity. Because Mo Xuemin had booked for three days of activity and because today was the main day of activity, she only left the temple at night. The Buddhist temple was not the main hall of the Repayment Temple. It was used mainly for blessings. As such it was located in a more secluded area. Mo Ye and Mo Lan accompanied her. Mo Ye held a lantern which lit up the path before her while Mo Lan helped Mo Xuetong. "Miss, Shuang Ye snuck out secretively in the afternoon. Qiu Ling insisted that Mo Yu taught her how to embroider and even asked when Mo Ye joined us. Mo Yu said that Mo Ye was an orphan that you r
Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter Chapter 27 Plot Within a Plot. Using Her Illness to Plot
Mo Xuetong's illness raged. She had a fever that night and was dazed from it. Her health had always been poor. When they had been in Cloud City, she had stayed behind because of her ill health. She had also been so ill that she could not get up. Even though she had recuperated and had gotten better at the Qin Manor, her health was still weaker than others. She could not bear being submerged in cold water at the beginning of winter. When the maids hurried to help her change and lie down, she fell unconscious. She only felt her body burning and her entire being felt like a fish being grilled on a stove. Even though she was unconscious, she still felt terrible and felt like dying. She felt as if she could not breathe. After some time, there was a sense of coldness that came from her forehead which allowed her burning body to regain some consciousness. She called out softly subconsciously, "Water, water." Someone came immediately to help her out

Mo Xuetong was taking medication when Mo Xuemin entered. The medicine had been prescribed by the manager of the Repayment Temple. "Third Sister, why have you become so ill. I was worried, so I rushed here immediately." Mo Xuemin walked up to Mo Xuetong's bed. She knew that Mo Xuetong was truly ill when she saw her pale haggard face. There was a smile on her lips. Any woman would be flustered if they were discovered to have met with a man when they were supposed to be praying for blessings for their mother. Mo Xuetong might be smarter than before, but she had still fallen for her ploy. Mo Xuemin felt pleased but did not show it at all. She sat beside Mo Xuetong's bed solicitously and took the bowl of medicine in Mo Yu's hand to feed it to Mo Xuetong. "Many thanks, Eldest Sister. My health is poor and I've just caught a cold. I've troubled you into making such a long journey." Mo Xuetong said softly. She looked tired and she lean
