Chapter 85 Reacquaintance

After what happened to Mo Yi, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month at home was very awkward.

During the meal, Liu came out. She originally wanted to show off Mo Yuan, but she was too depressed by the atmosphere to say much.

Mo Yi slept alone in the room until noon the next day before waking up.

I tried to open my eyes but couldn't, and then I remembered what happened yesterday.

"Bring me a mirror!" she called hurriedly. She took the mirror in her hand and used force to open the mirror a crack.

“…” Ghost! I scared myself to death.

My face is more swollen than yesterday. My eyes and nose are like dough that has been swollen. Because I applied the medicine, it is all black and yellow.

Some difficulty breathing through the nose.

"That's good... we can't go anywhere."

"After dinner yesterday, a few girls came to see you. They said you were asleep, so they didn't come in," said Xiangzhi.

"Yeah." My god, what was that man holding? How could he crash into something like this?

Recalling that, the man was tall and strong, with thick eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and looked very impressive! Yes, he was carrying a big bag, probably with something hard inside.

Looking at the strange appearance in the mirror, I really don’t know whether I should be grateful to him or blame him…

There were voices coming from the door. Mo Qing arrived, and when he saw her, he started talking for a long time in a fuss. Mo Yi ignored her and said that she had laughed enough before she patted her butt and left.

After a while, Mo Yuan came.

This girl... seemed to have changed all of a sudden. She took some snacks and sat next to Mo Yi, her gentleness and care were obvious.

And he was very eager to talk, and regarded this visit as a summary of yesterday's events, and he would talk about whatever came to his mind, including but not limited to:

How it felt when I first went to such an occasion;

The temperament and demeanor of the Marquis and the principal women;

He also picked out several other girls one by one, analyzing their appearance, dress, talents, and behavior. He even didn't let go of the girls around them...

Then she also commented on the strengths and weaknesses of her three sisters.

Then, he actually talked about Liang You’s performance and the look in his eyes when he looked at Mo Yi.

The impact of Mo Yi's fall on marriage.

Then: they summed up the gains and losses, and also looked forward to the Marquis's invitation to visit again and the bright future that might be created.

In fact, Mo Yi has always felt that she is a very meticulous person. Even though she doesn't like to talk about it, it doesn't mean she can't see it.

But I didn't expect that Mo Yuan was even more meticulous than me, and mentioned a lot of details that I didn't even notice!

Finally, I couldn't help asking, "Fourth sister, why are you so good at chess?"

Mo Yuan covered her mouth and laughed, "I didn't know I was at this level! I usually just look at the chess records and don't have many opportunities to play against others. Oh, look at Wang Xiaowei's arrogance! I originally wanted to broaden my horizons. But when I look at the chessboard, the paths are clearly there. Do I need to think about this kind of chess?"

"You really can't judge a person by his appearance..." Mo Yi murmured. Who could have thought that the frivolous, taking advantage of others, Mo Yuan, would be so capable?

Mo Yuan sneered, "That Wang Xiaowei, I will laugh at her every time I see her in the future! Hey, look at the Hou Madam's demeanor... Mo Yi, I hope your marriage will be successful more than ever before!"

"Haha." Mo Yi smiled bitterly and raised his swollen face towards her.

Mo Yuan glared at her with a disgusted look, "I wonder what the queens and princesses in the palace, as well as the princesses and princesses, are like!" Mo Yuan's face was full of longing. "And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, all the princes, and the princes... Oh my God! I wonder if I've ever seen them one day..."

"Don't think about it... One is in heaven, and the other is underground! They are not the same thing at all!" She never fantasized about these imaginary things.

Mo Yuan's eyes rolled: "Hey, tell me, why didn't I go with you at that time! If I were here, you would definitely not suffer this loss! What a person Mo Wen is! Ha..."

She looked at Mo Yi with contempt again: "To be honest: I went there shamelessly for my own purpose. I wanted to curry favor with the Marquis's wife and some noble ladies. Besides...if they don't like you, they can still like me!"

Mo Yi looked at her shamelessness and wanted to glare at her, but he couldn't do it...

"But...what is Mo Wen doing there? And why is she dressed so gorgeously? She is just holding her fart in!"

"Did you see that? As soon as we entered the room, the marquis mistook her for you, and her eyes lit up! Did you see that?" She nudged Mo Yi with her elbow.

Mo Yi didn't say anything.

"Humph! On weekdays, she always seems to be in trouble with me! In fact, she is the one who is really shameless!"

"You already have a good marriage, but you won't give the leftovers to your sister? You act like she is at a great disadvantage when others are doing well. Humph, I won't be like that! Only when everyone is doing well can we support each other, right?"

"Humph, if she hadn't been walking in front of you, I would have thought it was her who did it!"

"I tell you, if you are not as good as her in every way, maybe she can still show some favor to you and give you some help through her fingers. But if you are better than her, she can't stand it. If she has the chance to push you personally, she will not show any mercy!"

Mo Yi said sullenly, "Fourth sister, please don't say that. Whether it's true or not, it will be terrible if others hear it! Besides, why do I feel that you are different now than before?!"

Mo Yuan smiled proudly: "I didn't have much experience before, and I only cared about the immediate benefits! The point is, I thought those ladies from wealthy families were so great! Yesterday, I saw that they were dressed better than us, and their manners and conversations were better than ours, but inside, aren't they all the same?"

Mo Yi gave a thumbs up in admiration, "You haven't told me yet, why are you so good at chess? I didn't know anything about it beforehand."

"Hey, this! My mother can play chess. Although she is not very good at it, she knows the rules. As for me, I got it from my... great aunt. You also know my great aunt's background... but she is not as bad as others say! She is a master of chess.

Otherwise, with her background, even if she was a concubine, she couldn't enter the family of an official! My mother has something she wrote and some chess manuals. I had nothing to do, so I took a look and didn't find it difficult or complicated. So, Wang Xiaowei was so good at chess, but she still showed off in front of me! I didn't even use my brain, and I beat her!"

"Bragging!" Mo Yi disagreed.

"Chess skills are not something you can just brag about! They are real!"

Mo Yuan was alone and beautiful for a while, "Hey, Mo Yi. Madam Hou has sent me an invitation, you have to take me with you!"

"I'll take you there!? I don't even know if I can go! Besides, Aunt San saw that I was injured and her gums were showing when she smiled, and she thought I didn't know!"

"Hey! Aren't my mother and second aunt the same?! They quarrel all their lives and can never get out of the circle."

Mo Yi looked at Mo Yuan and suddenly said, "Fourth sister, I think you are the kind of person who can live a good life no matter what!"

"What else can we do? Mo Yi, was I right yesterday? We are a three-way competition, and outsiders can't look down on us!"

"Yes, if you weren't so powerful, I wouldn't be able to bear the injury! Maybe it was Wang Xiaowei who did it! She hates you, so she took it out on me."

"You blame me for this too? Isn't it because Liang You treated you differently from others that caused public outrage? You don't understand and don't take precautions, so who can you blame?"

"You didn't remind me then!"

"I...I was afraid that my mother would make a fuss, so I was only thinking about her and didn't pay attention to her!"

"Mo Yi..."

"Um?"

"You are really ugly!"

"go out!"

…

It was almost noon when Mo Wen arrived.

"I didn't expect it to be so swollen..."

Mo Yi had no expression on her face. She wasn't a talkative person to begin with.

"You told your father that someone else pushed you?"

"Um."

"I... grabbed you at that time, did you know that?" Mo Wen asked carefully.

Mo Yi shook his head: "I was too nervous at the time and didn't feel it."

"I didn't catch it, otherwise, I wouldn't have fallen like this."

"Um."

"This medicine...was sent by Liang You, right?"

"Yeah." Mo Yi didn't want to talk to her at all.

Seeing that Mo Yi didn't respond, Mo Wen stood up and said, "Then you can take a rest. Tell me what you want to eat."

"Um."

Watching her back as she left, I thought of Mo Yuan's words: If you are not as good as her in everything, maybe she can still show some favor and give you a little help through her fingers. But if you are better than her! She can't stand it. If she has the chance to push you, she will not be soft-hearted!

That's it.
