Chapter 55: Chaos
The woman kept her head down and said nothing, making the atmosphere in the living room a little tense.
The little son in her arms must have been feeling unwell, but he was very good-tempered and didn't make a fuss, just sobbing quietly.
"Are you all hungry? I'll go get some food." There was nothing else Mo Yi could do.
Yun Niang looked at her two sons helplessly, and said gratefully and apologetically: "Then I'll trouble you, young lady. Just make something warm, it doesn't matter what!"
Yang stood up quickly: "Is everyone in the kitchen done? Miss, let me do it..."
"Don't worry about it, just sit down and drink some hot water. There's a lot of food tonight, I'll just bring it over!"
Seeing Meixiang bringing the kettle, Mo Yi walked out. As soon as he reached the dining room, he heard Liu screaming inside. Mo Qing stood at the door with shining eyes, wanting to hear what they were saying, and curiously wanted to see what Yun Niang looked like...
Not wanting to pay attention to her, Mo Yi poked his head inside and saw the two elder brothers of the Mo family sitting on the main seats with sullen faces.
Mo Rushong was sitting on one side, his clothes looked a little messy, probably because Liu had scratched them.
"Do you have any conscience?" Liu, with disheveled hair, screamed, "Do you treat me as a human being? You let her in? She stepped on the corpses of us mother and daughter!"
"If you want to die, just die. There's no need to drag Mo Yuan with you." Mo Rushong was angry and cold.
Mo Rushan was so angry when Da Nianxia said this that he pointed at Mo Rushong and said, "Shut up!"
"You!" Liu rushed up again.
Zhuang was also anxious and shouted, "You all should talk nicely!"
Mo Yuan sat aside and cried, with Mo Wen accompanying her.
"Brother!" Mo Rushong explained, "Yunniang's father was a juren, and she was a girl from a respectable family. But her family's property was taken away, and her relatives died tragically. On the way to escape, I saved her. Then, I wanted to repay her for her kindness and kept her by my side. She was reluctant at first, but I promised her..."
He took a breath, "She is rich, so she stays there and doesn't have to become a concubine of the Mo family. She agreed to it out of helplessness. For so many years, I kept my promise and didn't bring her back. But now something happened over there, and I will tell you in detail later, so I have to come back..."
"The decision was made hastily. We finally got a chance to join an escort company. The whole journey... I'm tired and hungry! I spent so much money and still got scolded by the escort company. You guys should just keep quiet!" He also had a sullen face.
Liu's voice was hoarse, "Kill me if you have the guts! Otherwise I will..."
"Liu, it's no use for you to yell! Yunniang gave birth to two sons for me, so she will definitely marry into the family. I can't divorce my wife now that I have Mo Yuan. But don't go too far! If you don't want to live like this, then we can get a divorce. Just nod your head, and I don't even need my elder brother and sister-in-law's consent!"
When Liu heard this, she felt like the sky was falling, "You..." She couldn't catch her breath and leaned back.
"Mother!" Mo Yuan rushed over to help, and Zhuang was also in a panic.
The Mo family was divided. Mo Rusong was the head of their third branch. If he got angry, he would divorce his wife. The Mo Rushan brothers could only persuade but not stop.
"Do you think that all the people in my Liu family are dead?!" Liu took a breath and said, "I'm going to ask my brother and sister-in-law to make the decision this time! If there is anyone alive in the Liu family, they will come and beat you to death!" After saying that, she wanted to rush out.
Zhuang and Wang pulled her together, "It's fine on normal days, but what day is it today? Do you see anyone on the street?"
"Yes, third sister-in-law, even the coachman at home is eating and drinking! The Liu family is reunited, what's the matter with you going back?" Wang also advised. Although Liu was extremely annoying, if she put herself in her shoes, she would probably be furious if she encountered such a thing.
Liu burst into tears again.
Mo Rushan slammed the table with such force that the cups and plates jumped: "I am so annoyed! Just be quiet! If you keep making trouble, I will drive your whole family out to the street on New Year's Eve!"
Liu stopped suddenly, feeling like she was about to suffocate.
Mo Rushong didn't take it seriously, "Brother, on the way, I have already made an agreement with Yunniang that she will enter the mansion as a concubine. Then Hao'er and Lin'er will be recorded as legitimate sons. We will just get by like this."
"Don't even think about it!" Liu screamed.
Mo Rusong ignored her, "Brother, I have something important to tell you later. Compared to that, this matter is nothing. Stop making a fuss!"
Mo Rushan and Mo Ruhai looked at each other, not knowing what important matter he was talking about.
"Third brother's wife, calm down. Things have come to this. What do you want to do if that woman doesn't come into the house? Keep her as a concubine?" Zhuang said.
Liu's mind was in a mess and her eyes were wide open. "Then I'll go kill them..." She said as she pretended to rush out.
Wang and Zhuang were so annoyed, but they still pulled hard.
With a "bang", Mo Rushan threw the wine glass on the table to the ground, and the debris flew everywhere.
He usually put on airs and never even spoke loudly, but at this moment, his eyes were wide open and he was so angry that even Liu was frightened.
Sighing, Mo Yi turned and went to the kitchen. There were also a few servants in the kitchen eating New Year's Eve dinner. Seeing Mo Yi coming, he quickly stood up and said, "Miss, what do you need?"
"Bring some food, two women and four children. Just something hot!"
The cook quickly started to serve the dishes.
Mo Rushan looked at the table full of food and wine and said in a deep voice: "If you guys from Room 3 don't want to have the New Year's Eve dinner here, go back to your room. If you don't want to live here, move back to your own yard. Then, I won't care if anyone of you kills anyone! Now, those who don't want to eat...get out!"
He was shouting so hard that his veins popped out, and everyone was scared.
Zhuang and Wang also advised, "We have to wait until after the New Year. Look how embarrassed Mo Yuan is!"
Liu looked at her daughter, whose makeup was ruined by crying, and felt distressed. "Sister-in-law and sister-in-law, I won't make a fuss anymore. But you have to speak up for me!"
Wang nodded first and whispered, "We often quarrel, but this kind of thing could happen to us. I will definitely help you."
"Go wash your hands and eat!" Mo Ruhai yelled at Mo Rushong, and the man quickly stood up and went to the side to wash his hands and face. He also winked at Zhuang.
Zhuang knew that he was thinking about Yunniang and his son. She sighed and went out to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, the cook put some steamed meatballs, crispy chicken, some side dishes and a soup on two trays and was about to go to the living room. When Zhuang saw Mo Yi doing these, she couldn't help but sigh: You know what, this girl is very thorough.
They arrived at the front hall together, and the two women saw her coming and stood up quickly.
Mo Yi said, "This is Mrs. Mo, my great aunt!"
"Madam!" The two women saluted Zhuang. Zhuang hummed and looked at the two boys of Mo Rushong. They looked quite neat. She was jealous... "Do they have a wet nurse?"
"I brought them all myself." Yunniang whispered.
"Eat something first! The child can't be hungry!"
"Thank you, Madam... I'm sorry for the trouble!"
Zhuang felt that this woman was better than Liu in terms of rules, "Don't be polite, Yi Yi, go over and have dinner!"
"Yes. Sister Song, please help take care of him!"
"Don't worry, girl!" Mrs. Song responded.
The two walked to the back, "Aunt, they must all be staying here today, so we need to make some arrangements, right?"
"Yes, a house without a fire is uninhabitable now. Try to make do with it for one night and we'll talk about it tomorrow."
When they returned to the dining room, Mo Rusong was already seated. After washing his face with hot water, he felt more energetic.
Without saying anything, he drank two cups of hot tea, then a few glasses of wine, and ate the food with big mouthfuls. After a while, he sighed, "I was almost exhausted on this journey!"
No one knew what he had been through, and everyone looked a little solemn.
