Chapter 394
But after Mo Zhilin finished speaking for a long while, Madam Mo remained silent, with a cold face and not even an eye contact, making it clear that she did not give face to the fourth room.
Old Madam Mo has always been resentful towards the fourth room. If Mo Shaoyong had not caused trouble outside and made the old man so angry that he had a stroke, how could the old man have abandoned her so early.
If Mo Xuelin and other relatives hadn't been there, the old lady would have kicked him out long ago and would never have allowed him to act so presumptuous here.
The other relatives didn't care about the quarrel between the old lady and the fourth room. They all echoed the old lady's words and insisted that the old lady give a definite answer.
But the old lady was not in a hurry and drank tea leisurely. Everyone was talking until their mouths were dry and they wanted to drink some tea to moisten their throats, only to find that the teacups were already empty.
"Madam, the servants in this old house need to be disciplined. They are so lazy that they don't even know how to add more tea."
Mo Xuelin was not really out of chivalry and sympathy for these relatives, he just wanted to win everyone's favor so that these people would work harder to put pressure on the old lady.
Unfortunately, Mo Xuelin was arrogant and conceited, thinking himself clever, but he forgot that the old lady had been the mistress for decades and had experienced countless dangers and crises. She was not an ordinary person, so how could she be restrained by a few powerless and insignificant relatives.
The old lady has not expressed her opinion, but is just waiting to see who else will take the opportunity to jump out.
Another half hour passed.
No one from the first and fifth rooms came, and the old lady breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she had finally made sense and not made any mistakes.
The old lady looked around at everyone present. Because there was no water to drink and the weather was hot, everyone looked very miserable. The older people were exhausted and looked pale.
Seeing the old lady leisurely sipping tea, everyone showed desire in their eyes.
"Madam, could I ask for a cup of tea from you to quench my thirst?" Someone couldn't help but asked in a humble manner.
Madam Mo raised her eyelids indifferently, "The tea leaves have been packed up for everyone. I don't have any left. If you want to drink tea, go home early. Make as much as you want. No one will stop you."
Everyone looked at each other, and then at the tea leaves they had been given, feeling awkward.
If you retreat before the job is done, not only will you not get any benefits, but you will also suffer for nothing and make the old lady unhappy. That would be a huge loss.
If she didn't leave, she would be too hungry and thirsty. The old lady had just recovered from a serious illness and couldn't catch a cold, so she turned off the air conditioner as soon as she came in. It was a hot day, with an average outdoor temperature of over 40 degrees Celsius, and the indoor temperature was a little better, at around 36 or 37 degrees.
The air conditioner was turned off for half an hour, and everyone was sweating and feeling restless.
Seeing that his relatives were wavering, Mo Xuelin could no longer stand by and watch. He was also feeling extremely hot and uncomfortable all over. He wanted to complete his plan as soon as possible and go home to enjoy the air conditioning.
"Old lady..."
"It seems that you guys won't leave until you hear a single word from me today?"
As soon as Mo Xuelin opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the old lady's loud voice.
When everyone heard the old lady's words, they immediately perked up and couldn't wait to say "Old lady, you are too kind" and "Please understand that we care about the head of the family" and so on, high-sounding but hypocritical words.
Madam Mo looked at everyone with sharp eyes, "Then I will tell you that the master of the family is young and strong, and in good health. What you are worried about will not happen."
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
Everyone saw the old lady's strong and resounding attitude, and remained silent for a while. As for whether they believed it or not, they were all experienced and tactful people, and it was impossible to tell on the surface.
Ever since Mo Shaochen took over as the head of the family, he has been living in seclusion and his whereabouts have been mysterious. The people present have not seen the head of the family for at least two years. Whether they believe Mo Xuelin or the old lady depends on which side they choose to stand on.
Mo Xuelin looked at the hesitant relatives, suddenly took out a document and handed it to Mrs. Mo.
