Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter

Chapter 666 The Mysterious Man Waiting at the Back Door of the Mo Manor

If he lost today’s opportunity, Mo Yufeng would not be able to defeat that little slut Mo Xuetong. When he thought that his mother and his younger sister had fallen into such a miserable situation because of that little slut, Mo Yufeng’s heart burned with anger. He only wished that Mo Xuetong’s reputation would be ruined and she would die in front of him!

He had thought that he would never have the chance to take revenge in the future. After all, that little slut was already the high and mighty Consort Xuan who was protected by the wild King Xuan. He could not reach her no matter what. His desire to take revenge was buried deep in his heart because there was no hope.

However, an opportunity appeared silently in front of him. Auntie Qing, whom no one had paid attention to, had someone behind her, and the person was a big shot. How could Mo Yufeng not be overjoyed? He had contacted his uncle, whom he hadn’t gotten in touch with for a long time. The two of them considered that it was feasible after they discussed it.

According to that person, not only could he get rid of that little slut, Mo Xuetong, but he could also get that person’s recognition. In the future, the glory and wealth could be obtained easily. After thinking about it carefully for a while, Mo Yufeng and his uncle both felt that it was feasible. Yu Feng was at a dead end these days because his backer, Consort Yu, had lost her power, and it seemed that there was little chance of a comeback.

The powerful person who appeared at this time was what he needed most right now. Of course, he agreed and instigated Mo Yufeng to do it again and again. With this matter as a guarantee and that person behind him, it would not be a problem for him to get rid of that little slut Mo Xuetong.

Thinking of the glory and wealth that he was about to get, Mo Yufeng could not wait anymore. He sent the two old maidservants to work and he carefully went to the wall of the backyard. He no longer lived in the big courtyard in the middle of the Mo Manor. Now his courtyard was close to the backyard. The wall was so high that Mo Yufeng could not climb it with his small body.

Standing inside the yard and looking at the high wall, Mo Yufeng was almost desperate. If he had known earlier, he would have learned some martial arts. Then he would not be cut off from almost all his hopes by a wall at this time.

Just as he was anxious, he suddenly heard the dog barking coming from outside. And it was getting closer and closer. Suddenly, a dog appeared in the weeds in the backyard. It looked up at Mo Yufeng lazily and barked several times. Then, it turned around and ran away along the wall.

A thought flashed through Mo Yufeng’s mind. He could not care about anything else as his mind was filled with glory and wealth. He rushed into the weeds and rolled it aside. As expected, he saw a small hole behind the weeds. Fortunately, the hole was large. He measured it a few times, lowered his body without hesitation and crawled out of the hole.

As long as he went out of the courtyard, it should be very close to the back door from this direction. The old maidservant guarding the back door had benefited a lot from Auntie Fang, so it should not be a problem to open the door for Mo Yufeng at this time.

As Mo Yufeng crawled out of the doghole and hadn’t had time to dust himself down, he heard a low cry from behind him. “Eldest Young Master!”

He trembled because of the scream and almost fell down. He turned around in a hurry, and with the light of the lantern not far away, he saw that it was an old maidservant. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not the two guards who guarded his door. Just now, he thought that he had been discovered by the guards.

“Eldest Young Master, you’ve finally come out. Quick, follow me. The people from the other side have been waiting for a long time.” The old maidservant had been serving Auntie Qing. She knew what was going on when she saw Mo Yufeng appeared at the doghole in a pathetic state. However, it was not the time to talk about other things. She moved forward, took Mo Yufeng’s hand and left.

Mo Yufeng shook off her hand angrily and snapped, “What’s wrong with Auntie Qing? Didn’t she say that she would find a way to get me out? Why is there no movement at this time? Has that woman lied to me?” He was so anxious earlier and had been waiting for Auntie Qing to appear. However, he did not get any message from that woman. She was really useless.

“Eldest Young Master, you’ve misunderstood Auntie Qing. Auntie Qing wanted to enter your courtyard from noon today, but the two guards at your door were watching closely. Auntie Qing sent us here several times but we were not allowed to enter. They did not even allow us to send you anything. Auntie Qing could do nothing, and wanted us to take a look at the back wall to see if there’s any place for you to come out. Unexpectedly, I saw Eldest Young Master as soon as I got here.”

The old maidservant was good at talking. She told Mo Yufeng everything in a short while. Of course, she especially told him that it was Auntie Qing who sent them here. She completely ignored Mo Yufeng’s embarrassed look, as if he was really a noble young master who swaggered out of the front door.

In fact, she had been here for a while. She had planned to climb up the tree outside the courtyard wall to have a look, but she didn’t expect that the Eldest Young Master would climb out of this dirty doghole. Even an ordinary servant would not like to do it, so she despised him deeply in her heart.

“Humph, if I really can’t get it today, ask your mistress to tell him. If something happens, she has to take responsibility for it.” Mo Yufeng also felt embarrassed at this time. He coughed hard, a little angry and his face darkened. He patted the dust on his clothes and strode to the back yard.

He was dubious about the old maidservant’s words. “That woman must be afraid that I would be favored by that person, so she didn’t come to save me on purpose. A few days ago, she often sent things to me. but why didn’t she send things today? She wants me to recognize her as my mother? She wishes! She’s just a concubine. If I became successful in the future, I don’t need a concubine to be my mother.”

He had long forgotten his position in the Mo Manor—he was just a concubine’s son!

The old maidservant guarding the back door opened the door without hesitation after Mo Yufeng appeared and said that he was going to take the jewelry boxes left behind by Auntie Fang from his uncle. She even bowed and asked Mo Yufeng if he needed help and if he wanted her to go out with him. Of course, Mo Yufeng rejected her good intentions. Auntie Qing’s servant did not follow him to go out and hid in the corner of the back door.

After walking out of the back door, Mo Yufeng turned slightly to the back wall. Under the light from the lanterns at the back door, he clearly saw that there was indeed a horse carriage parking there. He hurried forward to the carriage.

“Why did you come so late? I thought you wouldn’t be able to come.” The curtain was lifted and Yu Feng jumped off the carriage. He was dressed in a long green robe, looking like a ghost. He looked at Mo Yufeng with a cold and angry expression on his face. He had been at the back door of the Mo Manor for almost 10 hours. He had thought that Mo Yufeng would come out after a while, but he waited until now.

“My father has sent people to watch me closely, so I couldn’t get out for a while.” Mo Yufeng patted the dust on his robe awkwardly.

“Then how did you get out? Did anyone discover you?” Yu Feng looked around warily and hid in the dark.

“Don’t worry. It’s all right. It was Auntie Qing who found a way to get me out. How could there be someone else to see me at this time? My father should have fallen asleep a long time ago. No one will notice me,” Mo Yufeng lied calmly. Of course, he would not tell Yu Feng that he had gotten out of his yard through a doghole. As such, he said that Auntie Qing helped him come out.

Anyway, without Auntie Qing’s help in this matter, he couldn’t get in touch with that person!

Yu Feng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that it was Auntie Qing to get Mo Yufeng out of the courtyard. It mattered a lot and he did not dare to be careless. So, he could only give the thing in his hands to Mo Yufeng or Auntie Qing. Compared to Auntie Qing, it was more convenient for him to give it to Mo Yufeng. He was a man after all. It would not arouse suspicion when he went out to take things.

Auntie Qing was different. As a concubine, she usually kept a low profile. Therefore, she did not dare to meet Yu Feng at the back door in case she would be accused of having an affair. Thus, Mo Yufeng was supposed to take the thing. This was also the reason why Yu Feng had been waiting at the back door. Like Mo Yufeng, he too was now bent on gaining power and wealth and avenging his sister by the way.

“Uncle, it’s okay. Have you brought that?”

“It’s here. Go in quickly in case others suspect you.” Yu Feng nodded as he took out a bag and stuffed it into Mo Yufeng’s arms. Then, he turned around and got into his horse carriage. The driver flicked his whip and the carriage left the lane where the back door of the Mo Manor was from another direction. In the dark night, no one would have been able to see who the man was if they hadn’t been close to him.

Mo Yufeng put the bag that Yu Feng had brought into his wide sleeve and did not stay any longer. Having obtained the thing, he was already half successful. He was in a better mood now as he turned around and strode in.

The old maidservant who guarded the door nodded and bowed when she heard that he had returned. She flattered him politely, which lifted Mo Yufeng’s mood. He had not been doing well in the manor recently. The servants used to call him and lick his shoes when they saw him, but now, when they saw him, they all kept away from him as if he had a plague.

It was rare that there was still an old maidservant to be so respectful to him. He immediately took out a silver ingot from his arms and gave her. Then he went back to his courtyard.

When he turned around the corner, he saw Auntie Qing’s servant standing there. She noticed that Mo Yufeng looked not bad even though there was still dust at the corners of his eyes, which lowered his vigor and vitality.

“Eldest Young Master, did you get it?” the old maidservant asked with a smile.

“I got it. I’ll go back now. Ask Auntie Qing to come to me. We’ll make a plan together tomorrow. If it’s the matters of the outer courtyard, I can do it by myself. But it’s the matters of the inner courtyard, so I still need Auntie Qing to think of a way,” Mo Yufeng said arrogantly as if he was helping Auntie Qing.

It made the old maidservant unhappy, but she also knew that she could not offend the person in front of her. She kept saying that she would go to discuss with Auntie Qing and find a way for her mistress to come over tomorrow.

“Go back first. Remember to make it clear to Auntie Qing. Don’t make such a big mistake like today. Otherwise, she won’t know how she dies then.” The old maidservant’s attitude was good and it gratified Mo Yufeng’s vanity. He nodded and drove her away. No matter what, he was still a noble young master. He was too ashamed to crawl into that dirty doghole in front of the old maidservant.

However, if he did not enter his courtyard through that hole, he was afraid that Mo Huawen would find out his movements.

“Yes, yes, I will go and tell Auntie Qing right now.” The old maidservant nodded obediently and left without looking back. It was like looking for death to stay here and watch Mo Yufeng crawling through the doghole. After all, she was a servant of the Mo Manor, and the man in front of her was the Eldest Young Master of the manor. It would not be a good thing if he hated her.
