Chapter 50 Self-knowledge

Everyone in the room looked at Mo Yi.

She took a deep breath and calmed herself down. "My daughter knows that this is a great joy for Brother Liang You. But for my daughter, it may not be."

"What are you talking about?" Wang was very dissatisfied.

Mo Ruhai had always believed in his daughter's opinion, but hearing her say this, it was as if cold water had been poured on him, and his smile fell.

"Mother, in fact, this marriage is originally a marriage of my daughter's status. Apart from other things, Brother Liang You is handsome and talented, and he is the eldest son. But my daughter is very ordinary, and she is the second daughter."

No matter what family it is, being the eldest is better than being the next in line. Even the Mo family, Mo Wen's dowry is bigger than Mo Yi's!

"Yi Yi, why do you underestimate yourself? You are also very outstanding, right?!" Mo Ruhai was not convinced.

But Wang first rolled her eyes to the sky to express her disapproval.

Mo Wen looked at Mo Yi quietly without expressing any attitude.

Knowing that her parents were like this, Mo Yi smiled bitterly: "Father, listen to what my daughter said: The Liang family agreed to this marriage based on the friendship between the two families. Now, Brother Liang You has a good future. If he is lucky enough to become a marquis... Dad, do you think my daughter looks like a marquis' wife?"

"How come there is nothing left? You are smart, gentle, capable, and filial! And you are beautiful, who wouldn't be worthy of you?!" Mo Ruhai spoke well of his daughter, not knowing who he was talking to.

Mo Yi smiled and looked at his father helplessly.

Her smile makes her whole person look lively and vivid!

Mo Wen felt her eyes dazzled. She was a little surprised that Mo Yi could think this way. At the same time, she thought to herself: He is quite self-aware!

Wang immediately started nagging: "How dare you say that?! I told you to study hard and dress carefully, but you didn't listen! I don't know what you're busy with every day. If you were your sister, you would be able to handle it..."

"...What are you talking about?" Mo Ruhai interrupted with a frown.

"That's right..." Wang was not convinced and turned her head to glance at her eldest daughter.

Mo Wen was a little embarrassed and half lowered his head.

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Wang could see that her daughter was not feeling well.

Too……

Who wouldn’t be sad if they lost such a marriage?

Normally, Mo Yi would not speak. But in this case, she had to say: "Although our family has not come into contact with it, we have heard of it. The first requirement for a marquis' wife is to be born in a famous family. The second is a rich dowry. The next is to be capable, able to manage the household, and good at socializing. The last is appearance."

"What about the Xu family? Isn't your sister a girl from the Mo family? How could she be recognized by the Xu family?" Wang said quickly.

Mo Yi was speechless...

Mo Ruhai patiently persuaded him: "Yiyi, Liang You is a young man with good character. If he flatters the powerful and breaks the promise just because his status has changed, then Dad will look down on him!

In that case, it's a good thing that he's not engaged! But if he keeps his promise, you just have to agree to it openly! Marquis's Mansion, so what? You're not incapable of it!"

Mo Yi wanted to laugh...this father is so naive.

"Dad... Marriage is originally about two good things and one good thing. Before, we just talked about it verbally and hadn't made it yet. Now, the basis for marriage has changed. It is understandable if the Liang family changes their mind. Put yourself in their shoes... If it happened to our family, we would also..."

Mo Ruhai shook his head: "If it were our family, Dad would keep his promise!"

I won't! Wang thought to herself, rolling her eyes. But... she looked at Mo Yi, this taciturn guy, and he was really impressive.

Isn't this quite insightful and eloquent?

But...it's such a bad idea!

If I were her... no matter how much coaxing, fussing, pulling and pulling, I would always have to settle the matter!

"Dad also said that the Liang family has selected several young men to go there. What are the criteria for the Marquis's selection? Is it because Brother Liang You hasn't got a marriage yet? Has the Marquis's already made plans for the marriage of the Marquis's heir?"

This... is really possible!

Mo Ruhai and Wang looked at each other and felt disappointed.

Mo Wen has been staring at Mo Yi, analyzing her words. If it were me, I'm afraid I would only be thinking about myself now, and I wouldn't stand from the perspective of the Marquis' Mansion and the Liang Family...

Great job, Mo Yi, it turns out that you are always pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger!

Mo Yi continued, "The future Marquis' wife must have a powerful family and be capable herself. Only in this way can she assist her husband and quickly and steadily prop up the Marquis' Mansion which is in turmoil!"

Wang tugged at her handkerchief again and again, muttering, "Isn't it because you are useless?"

Mo Yi ignored her. "If we rush to ask and urge them, even if the Liang family reluctantly agrees for the sake of face and friendship, what if it affects Brother Liang You's future? Wouldn't it be a knot in our hearts? If she marries, how will the relationship between the two families and our daughter's life be good in the future?"

"Are you just here to eat? You can't hold Liang You in a cage..." Wang was anxious.

"Listen to your daughter first!" Mo Ruhai's smile disappeared and he became annoyed.

"If mother goes to ask, and the Liang family directly expresses their unwillingness, or avoids meeting, or simply brings up the Marquis' wife to refuse, then the reputation of my aunt and us will be damaged!"

"Then they can't just ignore their opinions..." Wang was very depressed...

Father, mother, daughter, it’s the same thing. If this happened to our family, what would uncle choose? "

At this point, Mo Ruhai felt a little helpless.

Although the eldest brother is quite considerate of his brothers, he has changed a lot after years of setbacks in his career.

Wang was unwilling to give in: "You are right. It would be the same for any family! But now, isn't it the Liang family's turn? Let's see what they say! Anyway, even if they don't want to, they have to give me an explanation!"

Mo Yi was unwilling to do so: "Mother, in my opinion, we should calmly wait for news. You should deal with my eldest sister's affairs first! My daughter is still young, so let's see what the Liang family's attitude is first."

At this moment, Mo Wen also nodded in agreement: "Father, Mother, I think what my sister said makes sense!"

Seeing Mo Wen also said this, Wang's heart sank, and she began to blame Mo Yi again: "It's all your fault! If you hadn't mad at me, I would have gone to your aunt's house. Maybe, things would have been ruined..."

Blah blah blah…

Mo Ruhai's head was hurt by Wang's noise. He came here excitedly, but the result was like this. He felt very disappointed and sat there listlessly.

Suddenly someone outside shouted, "Second Master, the First Master is back."

Mo Ruhai jumped up and said, "I'll go ask your uncle!" Then he left in a flash.

Wang rolled her eyes at Mo Yi and said, "Don't worry about it. I'll ask your aunt. She'll know what to do!"

Seeing that his explanation was not working, Mo Yi had no choice but to follow his father out the door.

Looking at her back, Mo Wen thought to himself: If it were me, would I be able to say such words and make such a decision?

After thinking for a long time, I shook my head in my heart.

Won't!

Not only that, I will also find a way to make this matter more solid.

This girl is useless!

Although what happened with Liang You was a pity, I am engaged to Xu Lang and I don't regret it.

I hope... Liang You won’t be selected!

Ignoring my mother's lingering thoughts, I picked up my cape and went back to my room. But in the end, I still lay on the bed with my back to her and shed a few tears.

Mo Yi, however, felt confused and heavy in his heart, and didn't want to think about it anymore.

Go back to the house and start working seriously.
