Chapter 5 - Chapter V: The name of fornication
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, Mo Ling heard the sound of firecrackers going off in the manor. Starting in the afternoon, an endless stream of people came to the courtyard, and there were even sounds coming from the palace like the empress sending people to congratulate him, and even some of the imperial families outside Saints had sent over gifts.
One must know that a hundred years ago, when the Eastern Continent had been split into the Sacred Domain, the East Side, the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain and the Western Shu Country, the Mo Family, who had the title of "number one clan in the Eastern Continent", had always been in the midst of a grand occasion.
Back then, when Mo Ling was in charge of the Mo Family, it was also the peak of this magnificent view. It was a pity that in the twelve years after Mo Ling's death, Mo Yi was mediocre and did not do much.
In the evening, before the banquet officially began, Mo Ling changed out of the new clothes that Mo Ling Yuan had brought, put on her coarse hemp clothes, and sat in front of the mirror to comb her hair into a bun. She looked at her delicate and pretty but childish face in the mirror and swore inwardly that she would find out what had happened to her and find out who was the culprit who took revenge for her. At the same time, she would take back Mo Family and restore her former glory.
This Mo Family definitely would not fall to her generation.
When Mo Ling came to the main courtyard, she saw Mo Yi standing at the entrance to receive the guests, and just happened to see Crown Prince and his wife come, he laughed like a flower and immediately went up to welcome them, to curry favor with them, "Aiyo, Crown Prince's Consort, it is my honor to have all of you come in, quickly come in." Mo Yi stood at the entrance to receive the guest.
Yin Xuan Miao said indifferently, "En". Looking around, he did not see the image he wanted to see, so he asked, "Where is Ling Xuan?"
hurriedly explained. "I was just being polite, and asked, she's a longevity star after all."
Mo Ling stood far away and heard these words, then looked at the Crown Prince who was wary of his wife and sneered, thinking that the good show had just started.
Not long later, Mo Ling Xuan came out like a star, she was dressed in a long fiery red dress, her hair was shaking with the steps of a sparrow, because she was sick for the past few days, her face was pale white, even using makeup could not hide it, but she was beautiful, the sickness in her turned into a look of tender beauty.
Mo Ling looked at Mo Ling Xuan's gentle and moving appearance, and laughed coldly. She walked around to the front of the crowd, and when Mo Ling Xuan was very close to her, Mo Ling suddenly screamed and staggered forward, as if she was pushed by someone, and pounced onto Mo Ling Xuan.
Mo Ling Xuan didn't react at all, she just sat on the ground with her ankle hurting. She glared at the culprit, only to see that face which had caused her so much pain these past few days.
"Mo Ling Yan." Mo Ling Xuan said these words through gritted teeth, but because there were too many people present, she had no choice but to suppress her anger, and pretended to be gentle and innocent, "Why do you want to hit me, little sister? Immediately after, Mo Ling Xuan said loudly, without thinking too much, "That day, little sister made rumors about me, and today is my birthday, could it be that little sister is going to make a big fuss too?"
For a moment, everyone was looking at Mo Ling with eyes full of accusation and contempt. Mo Ling held onto her lousy hands, and said with a tone even more innocent than Mo Ling Xuan's, "No … "No, I was pushed."
Mo Ling Xuan curled her lips, just as sshe was about to ask who pushed Mo Ling, he heard a question from the crowd: "What's that inside Miss Ling Xuan's sleeves?"
The person who spoke was Guo Yu, a young miss from a noble family who was usually on good terms with Mo Ling Yuan. As she spoke, she walked up and opened Mo Ling Xuan's sleeves, and took out an exquisite jade, and even raised it up high, so that everyone could see, "This is a man's ornament. Miss Ling Xuan, why would this thing appear in your clothes?"
When the words came out, it immediately caused an uproar. If it was anyone else, it would be fine, but when Mo Ling Xuan spread the news of her secret relationship with the man, everyone present had heard of it.
In the past few days, even though the rumors about Mo Ling Xuan had spread like wildfire, the rumors were still rumors in the end. Everyone present had their own dignity and would not easily believe it unless they saw it with their own eyes. However, such a jade pendant had aroused everyone's curiosity, so they started to discuss among themselves.
Mo Ling Xuan looked at the jade pendant and immediately denied, "This is not mine." Then, as if she thought of something, she pointed at Mo Ling and said, "It was you. You must have stuffed it into my body just now."
Mo Ling looked wronged and scared, she waved her hand, "It's not me, how can I have such a precious thing?"
Everyone looked up and down at Mo Ling's clothes that were even older than the servants in the house, and immediately rejected the possibility of Mo Ling framing them. Seeing that, Mo Ling quietly revealed a crafty look, which was also the reason why she intentionally changed her clothes to come here.
"Eh, what is this?" Suddenly, Mo Ling felt under her body and picked up an envelope. She looked at the three words on the cover and scratched her head in frustration as she stammered, "Weird … "Just like that …"
"What miracle?" The woman, who was not far from Mo Ling, heard what she said and rushed over to sweep the envelope with her hand. For a dignified Mo Family to not even know how to read such a simple character. "
"I've never studied before. I can't read." Mo Ling muttered, he lowered his head as though he was feeling inferior, but in reality, he was laughing.
At this time, Guo Yu came over and pretended to ask, "This thing fell here, did it belong to the young miss, or the Third Miss?"
Pointing at Mo Ling, she said in disdain, "She doesn't even know how to read, how could this thing be hers?"
Guo Yu nodded in agreement, then thought of something, "Greeting … "Such an ambiguous title, could it be that this envelope contains the love prize of some man?"
In an instant, the crowd burst into an uproar again.
Carrying the principle of not caring if it was too big or too interesting to watch, Mo Ling feigned ignorance as she asked, "What do you mean by lovesick?"
"It's a love letter!"
Hearing that, Mo Ling was startled, "Oh my god, big sister, you still haven't cut all contact with that person, are you still not willing to repent? Furthermore, that person is a married man, how can you …." Mo Ling did not finish her words, she looked extremely regretful and miserable.
Mo Ling Xuan looked at the plain white jade ornament and the envelope that appeared, and was speechless, "I … "I …"
