Daughter of the prosperous age: Don't pretend to be stupid

Chapter 525 Competing for Favor (6)

After Feng Yurong drank a cup of tea, she said to Xuelian who was frozen at the side, "I have already mentioned to Wushuang that she will come at noon."

Xue Lian couldn't believe it, how could Mo Wushuang, who was arrogant and intelligent, not know her real purpose, but accepted the invitation so generously, which made Xue Lian suddenly feel defensive.

She stared at the fascinated Feng Yurong who was reading, and murmured in her heart. From the corner of her eye, she glanced at the rice paper on the table and took a closer look. It turned out to be a portrait of Mo Wushuang. Xue Lian angrily turned and left the study.

She knew that relying on her father's military power, she could only let herself sit in the position of concubine, but she couldn't make Feng Yurong fall in love with her. The only way was to get rid of Mo Wushuang.

Xue Lian came out of the study, brought her servant girl and rushed towards the Hantan Courtyard aggressively.

Mo Wushuang left the study and went to the kitchen to see if her medicine was ready. She happened to see her favorite dish today, so she started to cook in the kitchen.

Xue Lian went to the Hantan Courtyard to rush for nothing, and threw stones in front of the pool angrily, only to find that the water splashed by the pool was icy cold to the bone.

"Come on, let me go into the water to have a look," Xue Lian ordered her servants to jump in to see what's weird about the pool. Although it's early autumn, the sky is high and the air is clear, but the water is as cold as ice in a cellar.

Xue Lian saw that the servant just jumped in and then sank to the bottom. After a while, the top of the pool was bubbling, and by the time the servant surfaced again, he was already dead.

After eating and drinking, Mo Wushuang returned to his yard, and saw people surrounded by the pool outside the yard.

She asked the servant girl to find out what happened.

"Return to master, I heard that a servant was drowned."

Mo Wushuang walked a little closer, only to find that the servant who was caught was lying on the ground, his face was blue.

The water in this pool is icy cold all the year round, and those who do not jump into it will be particularly prone to sudden death due to the stimulation of the ice water.

She frowned, looking at the blue-faced servant, she felt uncomfortable.

This yard was already inaccessible, and ordinary people would never come here, so she was also negligent. She knew that she would order someone to write a sign by the pool, and she wouldn't let a life be taken away just like that.

Just as Xue Lian was about to order someone to carry the servants away, she turned around and saw Mo Wushuang standing not far away. She thought about it, and walked over with her maid, and asked, "Sister, you chose such a remote courtyard, and you changed the name of the courtyard to Cold pool, do you mean this water pool that has earned its name?"

Mo Wushuang stared at Xuelian with clear eyes, "What do you mean by Wangfei's words?"

Mo Wushuang understood right away that Xuelian wanted to link her servant's death with her.

"This place is inaccessible, so you chose this place for your yard, but is there something weird about this pool?" Xue Lian said loudly, so that the servants around her could hear clearly, as if Mo Wushuang was some kind of monster, relying on this pool to win Human life practice.

This cold pool is strange in the eyes of outsiders, but Mo Wushuang doesn't want to reveal the strangeness.

"If the princess thinks this water pool is weird, you can go and see it yourself," Mo Wushuang said after he took his maid with him into the yard, and ordered the door to be closed.

At noon, Mo Wushuang went out to have dinner with Xue Lianfeng Yurong, Lord Xuelian, and found that the people by the pool had been carried away. She asked the maid who accompanied her, "That servant, do you know the whereabouts of his family?"
