Chapter 215: A Beautiful Girl and a Fine View at a Windy and Snowy Night

When Mo Xuemin was anxious, Mo Xuetong was quite relaxed as if she knew nothing about what happened at the manor.

That afternoon, there was another heavy snow. Pieces of snow and clusters of snow were flying in the air like cotton. It was endless, and all was covered in the snow. The whole place was covered in white snow and looked particularly beautiful. Mo Xuetong’s room was warm inside. By the side were several stoves, which were filled with burning first-class smokeless coal.

It was already dusk and the snow was falling freely and slowly from the sky which made the sky and the ground all white.

Mo Lan shook off the snow on her shoulders and walked in.

Mo Xuetong lifted her head from the books and asked, “Haven’t it stopped snowing yet?”

Mo Lan smilingly nodded, “It’s still snowing heavily. Nanny Ming just sent someone to ask what you want to eat. The Old Sir went out earlier and wasn’t back until now. He sent someone to say that he would have a gathering with his colleagues tonight and may not have time to go back to eat with you.”

Mo Xuetong had been eating with her father these days. When thinking her father wouldn’t be here today, she really didn’t know what to eat.

Mo Lan rubbed her hands together by the stove to warm herself. Then she just stood there to wait for Mo Xuetong’s response.

Seeing her feeling so cold, Mo Xuetong smilingly asked a little maidservant to pour a cup of warm water for her. Then Mo Xuetong put the book down, stood up, and pushed the window open to have a look. Then she noticed that the snowflakes had already turned into clusters of snow and the white view was the only thing left outside. There was only an end left out on the roof far away, which was a high eaves angle.

It was indeed quite heavy snow.

Mo Xuetong suggested smilingly, “Mo Lan, tell Nanny Ming that there is no need to prepare rice for us today. Some meat will do. I heard that there is some mutton and venison delivered in this morning, maybe we can roast it here.”

On hearing the words, Mo Yu agreed and clapped. “Okay, okay. I’ll ask them to bring some fruit baskets along. When we finish eating the roasted meat, we can have some fruit. The flavor will be so… Well, miss, there is some new fruit wine in the kitchen which I heard to be tasty. I’ll go to ask Nanny Ming to prepare some too.”

Mo Lan complained sweetly. “Little maidservant, you are only thinking about eating. You are already naughty before Miss says anything and only care about what to eat.”

Mo Yu secretly smiled and twitched her mouth. She just smiled and blinked at Mo Ye, which seemed really cute.

Mo Ye also got interested in her words, “Good food must be accompanied with good wine. Miss, you can wait for me to go with Mo Yu.”

At the moment, Mo Xuetong had nothing to worry about and her father was not there either. If they could really roast the meat and appreciate the snow happily, it would be a joyous thing!

After Mo Xuetong decided, she sent Mo Yu and Mo Ye out. Mo Lan organized the maidservants to light the furnace and prepared various seasonings. They placed plates of fruit and cooked fine tea there.

Before everything got ready, Mo Yu and Mo Ye led the nannies there to send the meat and wine!

It was busy and warm in the yard. Mo Lan and other maidservants took off the overcoat and the golden and silver bracelets on their wrists. They pulled up the sleeves and roasted the meat above the fire. In only a while, the entire room was filled with the strong smell of kebabs.

Mo Yu warmed the wine and poured a cup for Mo Xuetong. Mo Xuetong was eating the meat when she took it up and had a taste. It was so sweet and didn’t taste like those from her father. It was so sweet that it tasted fine with the roasted meat.

Since there was much meat, they gave the extra to the maidservants and nannies in the yard and let them roast in their rooms. Mo Xuetong ate with Mo Lan, Mo Yu, Mo Ye, and Mother Xu. They all chatted and smiled together, which actually felt like the New Year.

Mother Xu was of old age and couldn’t stand a long time of sitting. So she went home early to sleep. Mo Yu teased Mo Lan the whole time and made the usually poised Mo Lan drank so much that she became drunk. Then, Mo Lan somehow had the strength to make Mo Yu drink. They both drank a lot and lost their consciousness with a kettle in their hands, which was really funny.

Mo Ye could drink a lot and could play kung fu. So her face didn’t change a bit even though she also had a lot. She brought Mo Lan and Mo Yu back to the room and then returned to keep Mo Xuetong company.

Mo Xuetong didn’t drink much at first and only looked at how Mo Yu, Mo Ye, and Mo Lan played together. When the two maidservants went back, she was only half fed.

Mo Ye went to get some more venison, which hadn’t been sliced by Mo Ye. Instead, Mo Ye roasted the venison by sheets and masterly rolled it over while sprinkling seasonings on them. The whole room was full of the smell of roasted venision, which was quite appetitive.

Mo Xuetong took the fruit wine by her hand and drank it. Then she glanced at Mo Ye’s skilled motions and asked smilingly, ” Mo Ye, did you use to roast meat. You have such experience skill. I wonder what you’re roasting right now.”

Mo Ye responded smilingly. “I used to go out with my master. He didn’t let anyone serve him and did everything by himself. We did the same as he did. We lived poorly in the mountains and it was the easiest to roast meat. I’m roasting the steak now, which is the most delicious part. When sliced out, the roasted meat will be tastier.” Mo Ye handed Mo Xuetong a plate and put a steak which was just roasted on it.

Mo Xuetong knew she was talking about Feng Yuran. She couldn’t imagine that he was so self-dependent when looking so distinguished and rakish.

She took over the plate and tasted it. The flavor was really different from just now. It was tenderer, fresher, and tastier.

She put the plate down and had a big mouthful of the fruit wine. She felt extremely comfortable and as light as a feather. She couldn’t help sighing and leaned over on a cushion to seat herself down.

It was hot in the room, and she had already taken off the overcoat. She was wearing a light blue plumage. At the bottom, she wore a pure white skirt which had embroidered ends. There was a simple white jade hairpin on her head which was decorated with some emeralds. Below it were small silver tassels. Her face turned pink because of the heat by the furnace. With the light, her face got even more attractive with her enchanted eyes, fair skin. And her eyes became even more charming.

Mo Ye looked at Mo Xuetong and her mind turned blank. Such a beauty would be a perfect match with her master.

That kind of enchanting charm and cute languid beauty were just like her former master’s…

Mo Xuetong opened her misty eyes and smiled. “Mo Yu, tell me more about your master.” She didn’t know how charming and attractive she was when leaning over like this.

Mo Ye thought about the wording and answered, “He is very disciplined and practices kung fu hard. When he was in the mountains, he spent most of the days alone and there was no female around him. We secret guards could only observe him from a distance…”

Mo Xuetong asked doubtfully, “He lived by himself?”

Mo Ye lowered her head to roast for Mo Xuetong and replied. “He lived alone from a young age. The secret guards were only in charge of his safety. So he had to face the difficulties by himself unless there was a life-threatening danger. He worked harder at kung fu than us. He used to wear thin clothes and practiced kung fu by the frozen river and hasn’t stopped for all these years.”

Such a little kid tried so hard to practice kung fu. Somehow, Mo Xuetong could feel how miserable and helpless he was. To survive, a child from a royal family was not as glamorous as he seemed on the surface. He was not even as happy as her. Maybe that’s the reason why he had such a strange character!

Mo Xuetong asked gently, “He spent so many years by himself. Even the relatives from his mother’s family didn’t go to see him?” Feng Yuran’s mother, who was killed by him in her last life, had done something unbearable to him? The longer she got along with Feng Yuran, the more she realized he was not an impetuous person.

Then why would he impulsively kill his mother’s entire family and never saw relatives from his mother’s family again? What did they do to him? Or maybe they did something to his mother to let him hate them so much…

A hoarse voice came from a faraway place. “You are so interested in me?” Mo Xuetong touched her burning face and lifted her eyes. As expected, she saw that beautiful boy in front of the window. He wore a plain lilac long robe and a silver fox fur cloak. He looked stunning and uncomparable in it. His long eyes were shining and watery, which made people want to get lost in them.

Mo Xuetong glanced at him and asked, “Why are you here?” Maybe it’s because she was drunk, she didn’t feel strange about his appearance.

Mo Ye stood up and obediently bowed to Feng Yuran. Then she walked out and guarded there, leaving space for the two.

She had always thought her two masters were a perfect match, no matter in figure or character. Moreover, they had a lot in common.

Feng Yuran’s weak voice sounded even more charming at this quiet winter night, “You’re so happy drinking here, so I can’t be absent.” He naturally took off the cloak and threw it on the screen. Then, he casually sat by her side. Though he didn’t get too close to her, they were not far from each other.

Mo Xuetong suddenly felt a different temperature by her side, which was a light smell from a man. It was hard to describe the feeling, but it felt pretty good.

Maybe it’s because she had drunk too much wine, a bit smile appeared on her lips. She didn’t feel strange about his coming over. And she just sat up and poured a cup of wine for him. Then she lifted her watery and enchanted eyes to glance at him and asked, “Do you want some wine? It feels great to appreciate the snow while drinking the wine.”

Feng Yuran looked at her face and showed a sign of smile in his bright eyes. He uncommonly nodded, took over the cup she offered and had a taste. That kind of sweet wine wasn’t the one he used to like. He wouldn’t have a bit of it in the past. But now when he tried it, he realized the sweet flavor could also be fascinating.

Feng Yuran set the cup down and took up the steak which hadn’t been roasted completely and skillfully rolled it over. “Why do you want to roast meat and drink wine?

Mo Xuetong naughtily pointed her thin fingers out of the window and glanced at him as if he were talking unpleasantly on purpose. “The snowflakes are flying like cotton outside while we stay in the room to appreciate the meat and the snow. Shouldn’t there be roasted meat?”

Seeing her being so cute in front of him, Feng Yuran felt very happy and smiled lightly. Then he leaned over and asked tenderly, “Yes, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have asked that question and wasted such beautiful snow and an attractive girl.”

Mo Xuetong subconsciously felt something wrong when he leaned over. She suddenly moved backward and tried to stay away from him. However, the cushions behind her were loose and she almost lost control and fell onto the ground. It’s lucky that it was cushioned behind, so she didn’t feel pain.
