Second wife.

Mo Bici spent a long time explaining things in the palace before she was able to return. As soon as she returned, Mo Jinghao summoned her to his study.

"Ci'er, what exactly happened?"

Despite having meticulously planned everything, Mo Yunlan's departure would result in her losing her virginity, being jilted, and her reputation being ruined.

When Mo Yunlan obtained the Repairing Pill to repair Mo Yunzhao's dantian, Ci'er took the credit for it.

This will make Mo Yunzhao willingly relinquish his position as city lord.

But things didn't go as planned.

Mo Bici recounted all the details, including what happened in the Imperial Study that day.

After saying that, she also looked puzzled, "I don't know where my daughter went wrong either."

After leaving the city lord's mansion, she stayed almost constantly by Mo Yunlan's side, but how did it become a fake?

Mo Jinghao waved his hand irritably, "What's done is done, there's no use thinking about it anymore."

A sinister glint flashed in Mo Bici's eyes. "Father, what should we do next? Are we just going to let that good-for-nothing blind man be the city lord and ride roughshod over us?"

Mo Jinghao gave a sinister snort, "She wants the Yu family wiped out? Then so be it."

Mo Bici frowned. "But the Yu family is your people. If you wipe them out, the Wang and Tu families will be disheartened, and those who follow you will likely develop resentment towards you."

Once a rift develops, they become less loyal.

"That was the city lord's order. I was just obeying. But whether we can really wipe out the whole family is another matter. There will always be some who escape and come back to take revenge when they grow up."

Spring is the rainy season.

Mo Jinghao led his guards and kicked open the Yu family's gate.

The fine spring rain fell, but it did not extinguish the torches they held high. Instead, it reflected the cold light off their ferocious faces and the long swords that gleamed with a chilling glint.

Mo Jinghao glanced coldly at the Yu family members, who had already received the news and were packing their valuables but hadn't had time to escape.

He raised his long sword high, using his spiritual power to shout, "Jing Hao, by the city lord's order, exterminate the entire Yu family, leave no one alive! Kill!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guard raised his long sword and charged out.

The torches illuminated the Yu residence as if it were daytime, but the screams, the sound of white knives piercing flesh and then red knives being pulled out echoed throughout the Yu residence.

The people living around the Yu residence all heard the screams.

There were also voices begging for mercy.

But Mo Jinghao's voice was as loud as a bell, "By order of the city lord, the entire Yu family shall be exterminated, not even a chicken or a dog shall be spared."

The massacre of the Yu family lasted for half an hour before the screams finally stopped.

Mo Jinghao threw down the torch, and the vast Yu mansion burst into flames under the fine spring rain.

The spring breeze and drizzle carried the stench of blood and the stench of destruction from raging fire.

The Yu family has been completely wiped out.

...

Under the corridor of Zhaotianyuan.

Mo Yunzhao looked up in the direction of the Yu family. She closed her eyes and breathed softly, her breath carrying the scent of burning blood.

She's back for revenge, so don't show her any pity.

That night, a ghostly red figure appeared in the main courtyard of the second branch of the city lord's mansion.

A knock came at the door.

Mo Jinghao: "Who?"

"This Empress."

The gentle voice coming from outside the courtyard startled Mo Jinghao, who immediately put on his outer robe and came out.

In that short time, he guessed why Ling Jingyu had come here.

Could it be that siding with Mo Yunzhao before was all an act?

After all, the royal family and the Mo family had an agreement.

But the royal family is also wary of the Mo family. What if they were replaced by an obedient pawn, like him?

It's not impossible.
