Mo Lan observed the old lady's demeanor, her cool eyes narrowing slightly, and she also picked up the wine glass in front of her.
"The old lady is not only old, but must also be highly respected. It is truly an honor to treat a junior like me like this. Look, your daughters-in-law and granddaughters are all terrified of you, as if I have done something wrong. Considering the age difference between us, I will not hold it against you, but that's all. This cup is for you."
As Mo Lan spoke, she tilted her head back and drank the dregs. Then she looked at the Second Madam with a cold, stranger-like gaze, "Second Madam, did I do a good deed today?"
"Of course... Yun'er owes you a lot today." The second madam's heart tightened, and she quickly forced a smile, but only she knew how stiff that smile was.
"Oh? I thought you forgot. A meal turned into a trap. I'm really afraid you'll get indigestion." As she spoke, Mo Lan subconsciously touched the pointer hanging at her waist and said with a gloomy expression, "Meddling in other people's business has caused so much trouble. I should have just turned a blind eye."
After saying that, she ignored the changed expressions on everyone's faces, turned around and left. She wasn't some starving ghost reincarnated, why would she need your meal?
Whether you come from a scholarly family or whatever, is your pride really that valuable?
My feelings are more important.
"Sister... Sister Mo Lan..." Zhao Ziyun watched Mo Lan leave, calling her name twice but she didn't even turn around. She stamped her feet anxiously, "Mother, what are you doing?"
"I...I'm...Ugh, hurry and chase after them, or they'll stop them..."
The second wife's expression was also unpleasant. The old lady insisted on meeting the girl, and what could she do? One was her mother-in-law, and the other was her daughter's savior. Without hesitation, she chose to compromise.
Although she knew that the other party would definitely be unhappy with her actions, she thought that since the other party was a young girl who had never seen anything like this before, she would definitely not say anything.
Who knew this girl would be so stubborn, showing no respect whatsoever, turning around and leaving. People from the martial arts world are indeed uncouth.
At this moment, she ignored everyone in the dining hall and followed her daughter out. Seeing them about to leave through the gate, she immediately shouted,
"Quick, stop her!"
"Little sister, wait for me."
The two spoke at the same time, and for some reason, the gatekeeper immediately stood in front of Mo Lan, preventing her from leaving.
Mo Lan: "..."
What should I do if my hands are itchy?
What should I do if I want to punch someone?
As she stroked the pointer in her hand, Mo Lan's eyes flashed, and with a flick of her wrist, the gatekeeper fell to the ground with two sharp cracks.
"Ouch...that hurts so much! Why did you hit me?!"
She put away her whip, leaned against the door, and looked back at the mother and daughter who had chased after her. "What? You're blocking my way and trying to detain me?"
The mother and daughter ran forward breathlessly, and when they saw the wailing gatekeeper on the ground, they were stunned. Zhao Ziyun was the first to react and reached out to grab Mo Lan's sleeve, but Mo Lan waved her hand and missed.
"Sister, don't go. We were wrong. We'll apologize to you."
Seeing her hand miss its target, Zhao Ziyun's eyes immediately reddened. "It's all my fault, sister. I apologize. I shouldn't have treated my savior like that. My mind was a bit muddled just now, and I didn't react in time..."
Zhao Ziyun spoke incoherently, offering only a few dry explanations before running out of steam. In the end, she simply bowed deeply to Mo Lan.
