Mo Qingcheng gave Bai Yueniang a half-smile, then glanced at her, "Yue'er, I want to too..."

Unfortunately, Bai Yifan was clearly suspicious. It's a pity that Bai Yueniang was too deeply involved and didn't realize it. Now she's colluding with others to scheme against the Mo family and against her. So don't blame her for being ruthless.

Bai Yueniang pursed her lips and remained silent, her face unusually pale. "Sister Mo, how could you treat me like this?"

"Bai Yueniang, we've known each other for a long time. Have I, Mo Qingcheng, ever wronged you?" Mo Qingcheng narrowed her eyes, and her voice turned cold. "My Mo family is not a family that uses others as a stepping stone for unscrupulous people."

Bai Yueniang closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again: "Sister Mo, thank you for taking care of me all this way. Since... you can't stand the relationship between me and Brother Bai, then Father, Brother Bai, and I will move out together..."

“Okay!” Mo Qingcheng readily agreed, without a trace of pity in her eyes.

Bai Yueniang clenched her fists and left angrily.

"Mother, is Aunt Yue really leaving?" Shangguan Yunxi frowned slightly, a little confused. She looked up at Mo Qingcheng with a puzzled expression.

Mo Qingcheng said expressionlessly, "Xi'er, you must remember, no one in this world is kind to you for no reason; they always have ulterior motives, except for those who truly hold you in their hearts..."

Shangguan Yunxi nodded as if she understood, "Xi'er understands, Mother. Don't be angry, Aunt Yue will come back once she's thought things through..."

"Not necessarily!" Mo Qingcheng uttered two words calmly. "Do you need to see Mother about something?"

“Hmm…” Shangguan Yunxi’s expression was solemn. “Mother, my elder brother and I… want to find an opportunity to go back to the Shangguan family… to reclaim everything that belongs to them as siblings.”

Mo Qingcheng shook her head: "The time is not yet ripe, please be patient..."

"But, Mother..."

"No buts. Your mother will discuss this matter with your eldest brother. This matter involves not only you six siblings, but also your mother's background..."

Shangguan Yunxi's eyes widened in surprise, and she took a deep breath: "Mother, are you telling the truth?"

"Hmm..." Mo Qingcheng's eyes were unfathomable. "Xi'er, seize the time to cultivate. Only when your cultivation improves can you do what you want to do..."

"I understand, Mother..." The little girl sighed, her mind heavy with worry, and turned to leave.

Mo Qingcheng stood by the window, watching Bai Yueniang angrily dragging Old Man Bai and grabbing Bai Yifan, glaring hatefully towards the study.

Unaware of why the group was arguing, Old Man Bai slapped Bai Yueniang across the face, clutching his heart and looking pleadingly in Mo Qingcheng's direction.

Mo Qingcheng's gaze remained unchanged as she quietly watched the farce unfold before her, unable to describe the feelings in her heart.

Are you sad?

There was probably a little bit... Once upon a time, in the countryside, a few of us supported each other and went through a wonderful period of time.

As times change, some people drift apart.

Mo Qingcheng turned around, shutting out all the noise from outside the window, and sat down in a chair, comfortably holding a teacup, lost in thought...

Outside the study, several people were arguing loudly, especially Bai Yueniang, who was tearing at her father, Bai Laodi, her voice shrill: "Father, what are we waiting for? Why aren't we leaving?"

"Yue'er, you..." Old Man Bai's expression was indescribable. What's wrong with his daughter?

Bai Yifan shook his head bitterly: "Yue'er, don't worry about me, I can walk by myself..."

"What happened?"

"That won't do."

Old Man Bai and Mother Bai Yue spoke at the same time, looking at Bai Yifan.

Bai Yifan said with a pained expression, "Yue'er, it's all my fault..."
