Chapter 46: A Burden
The mother and daughter had a quarrel over the box.
But afterwards, Wang didn't tell her husband, and Mo Yi didn't tell her father. Mo Ruhai sat in the front yard, talking to his son and his elder brother, and he didn't know anything at all.
Strictly order the servants in the courtyard not to spread the news! Wang threatened with a sullen face: If this matter gets out, she will punish you.
It was the first time that everyone saw the wife being so strict, and they were so scared that they dared not say anything.
Mo Yuan did hear that there was a quarrel in Wang's courtyard, but she didn't find out the reason.
She was most sensitive to such things. During dinner, her pretty eyes swam back and forth twice, and then she smiled with her lips pursed. Seeing Mo Wen's expression, combined with the last time the young master of the Liang family came home...
Although I don’t know what happened, but... there’s a high probability that Mo Wen is jealous again!
Sooner or later I will know!
After breakfast, she put on the ink tattoo, "Sister, I dreamed that you got married yesterday, and I felt a little empty inside. Alas, sisters are like this, quarreling when they are together, but when they are really about to separate, they miss each other so much and only think about the good things in the past."
Mo Wen didn't know what she was going to do, so he nodded casually: "Yes! It was the same with my elder sister and second sister. Now when we meet, we are still very affectionate!"
"Yes! Sister, are you sorting out your dowry? If you need any help, just let me know!"
"You're thoughtful, but there's really nothing to do right now!" How could she possibly use Mo Yuan?
"That day, I saw Liang You. Tsk... He is tall and looks very energetic, but his appearance is a bit ordinary. He can't compare to Master Xu, right?"
These were what Mo Wen wanted to say the most...but she was on guard against Mo Yuan and did not respond.
"Looking at your sister's expression, Mr. Xu must be more handsome than Liang You! Right?" She poked Mo Wen, "Humph, even if you didn't tell me, we could have seen him during the New Year! Oh, Mo Yi seems to have changed a lot after getting this marriage?" Mo Yuan seemed to be chatting casually.
"What's changed?" Mo Wen asked...
…
In the evening, Mo Ruhai returned home with a smile on his face.
"Master hasn't come back yet?"
The concierge replied: "Not back yet!"
There was no rush back to Wang's courtyard. Mo Ruhai was alone in the front living room. He didn't sit down, but walked around the room, sometimes clasping his hands and laughing, sometimes shaking his head and sighing. His emotions fluctuated greatly and he looked very uneasy.
After waiting for a long time, my brother didn't come back.
Only then did he put his hands behind his back and leisurely returned to Wang's room.
Wang was really angry about the box. It was the first time she was confronted like this! She ignored Mo Yi for the past two days.
I originally planned to go find my sister to solidify the marriage with the Liang family, but I got angry and didn’t go!
I secretly made up my mind that if this girl doesn't apologize to me properly, I will really ignore her!
As it happened, Wang Xiujuan's mother-in-law had a cough these days, and it was the New Year and she had a lot of things to do, so she didn't pay attention. And the Liang family, I don't know what was bothering them, and they didn't even mention it.
At this moment, Wang was talking to Mo Wen when she saw her husband lift the door curtain and come in.
What was different from the past was that today, his face was all smiles. He looked so good-looking as if he was radiant.
Thinking back then, she was deeply attracted by this innocent and bright smile.
My heart skipped a beat and I couldn't help but wonder: What happened to him?
You don't want money, do you?!
So, he asked with a stern face, "What's wrong with you?" As soon as the words came out, he was not in a good mood.
Mo Wen gently touched his mother, and stood up to salute Mo Ruhai. In fact, Mo Wen had known for a long time that his mother's attitude towards his father was inappropriate, but she rarely reminded him. Can you stop arguing now? My head hurts.
Mo Ruhai no longer cared about Wang's cold face, especially today. It didn't affect his mood at all. He directly ordered: "Qiuhong, go and call Yiyi!"
Qiuhong responded and went out.
When Wang heard her husband wanted to call Mo Yi, she became even angrier. "Why call that damn girl?"
Mo Ruhai pointed at Wang, his anger rising again. "That's your daughter! She's already fifteen, a grown-up girl. How can she be so outspoken all day? Her biological mother doesn't love her. In the near future, you're going to let her marry out of the Mo family with this feeling!"
"Then why don't you tell her something? Why are you so angry with me? What girl dares to talk back to her mother like this?"
Mo Ruhai felt that if he talked back, his good mood would be ruined, "Humph! I just hope you don't regret it in the future!"
Wang was not willing to give in. She was about to say that she would not regret it, but Mo Wen quickly stopped her: "Mom... Dad, have some tea!" She smiled and poured tea for Mo Ruhai. Mo Ruhai looked at his well-behaved and beautiful eldest daughter, and was satisfied, and he did not say anything.
After a while, Mo Yi came again.
She bowed to her parents and called her sister. The mother and daughter looked at her with anger and indifference.
But Mo Ruhai, when he saw Mo Yi, he acted like he saw a treasure, and his eyes narrowed into slits.
"Yi Yi, please sit down! Be calm and listen to me!" He was proud and mysterious.
He crossed his legs and said, "I have good news for you! Lord Zhang told me today. Does the Houhai Jing'an Marquis Mansion know about it?"
He actually danced with joy...
Wang looked at her husband in confusion. Was he crazy today? What Jing'an Marquis's Mansion... How could a woman like her know where to go? She rolled her eyes unhappily.
Mo Wen didn't understand what his father meant, so he didn't respond.
Instead, Mo Yi, who was usually the least talkative, was the one who made fun of his father: "The Houhai mansion? That must be very impressive! Dad, what's so special about it? Tell me quickly."
Mo Wen glanced at Mo Yi from the corner of his eyes. This damn girl! Who doesn't like to talk? She is flattering her father. Isn't she happy?
Sure enough, this was enough to make Mo Ruhai continue to talk excitedly, "Although the father and son of Jing'an fought in the northwest and made many contributions, they died in the battlefield! How pitiful! They sacrificed their lives for the country. The Marquis has only one son, the Crown Prince, and he is not married yet... He has only one elder sister, who is already married. He has no illegitimate sons. The dignified Marquisate has been cut off like this!"
He shook his head and sighed, then looked at Mo Yi with a sharp gaze: "The wife of Marquis Jing'an is a heroine. She immediately decided to select a few young men from the side branches and bring them to the Marquis' Mansion for training. Then, she would choose the most outstanding one among them to inherit the Marquis' Mansion."
Everyone looked at Mo Ruhai, wondering why he was saying this to a few women.
"And he also said that among the five people, those who failed to inherit the Marquisate... as long as they have good character and are willing to make progress, the Marquisate of Jing'an will also give them a good future. Not to mention other things, the soldiers and industries left by the ancestors of the Marquisate of Jing'an, as well as all kinds of connections... if they give a little bit, it will be a big deal!"
After saying that, Mo Ruhai clapped his hands again and laughed.
Everyone still looked at him in confusion.
Looking around at his wife and daughter, Mo Ruhai stroked his beard, feeling even more proud!
Wang was so confused that he was really going crazy! "Master, why are you telling us this?"
Seeing that everyone still didn't understand, Mo Ruhai finally revealed the secret: "What? You still don't understand? Marquis Jing'an...his last name is Liang!"
