After seeing off the last group of guests, Yun Shixian turned around and the smile on his face disappeared completely in an instant.

"Ask Yunyao to come to my study."

In just a few words, there was such frightening anger that the air seemed to be condensed and no one in the Yun family dared to breathe.

Yun Yao knew that she couldn't escape the disaster tonight, so she knelt down on the ground as soon as she entered the study.

"Dad, I was wrong."

But this could not eliminate Yun Shixian's anger. He walked a few steps to Yun Yao and slapped her in the face.

Yun Yao was beaten so hard that her body fell to the side. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deeply into her palms, and her heart was filled with overwhelming hatred.

Of course, this hatred was not directed at Yun Shixian, but Yun Mo.

Everything she was going through at this moment was caused by Yun Mo.

Although she didn't know how Yun Mo did it, she was sure that Yun Mo must have replaced her jade pendant with the bracelet.

The same thing happened last time. She clearly put Mrs. Yan's bracelet on Yun Mo secretly, but what fell on the ground was not Mrs. Yan's bracelet.

It's so weird!

"Dad, please calm down. I know I was wrong." Seeing that Yun Shixian had calmed down a little, Yun Yao took the opportunity to cry and beg for mercy.

Yun Shixian stared at her gloomily, "Then do you know where you went wrong?"

"I acted on impulse and didn't consider the overall situation."

If she had taken the gifts and left as soon as she found out that the birthday gifts had been replaced, even though she would have been suspected, the impact would have been much smaller than what happened later.

But she did not choose to keep quiet, but chose to confront Yun Mo head-on.

Yun Mo was just a piece of rotten tile, while she was a flawless piece of jade. The moment she decided to collide with Yun Mo, she lost, completely and miserably.

Yun Shixian pointed at her nose and cursed, "Your fault is not that you acted impulsively, but that you were self-righteous and underestimated the enemy! Do you think Yun Mo is a brainless idiot who you can trample under your feet with just a flick of your finger? Yun Yao, Yun Yao, I always thought you were smart, but now it seems that I overestimated you."

Yun Shixian's words were like a wake-up call, shocking Yun Yao's mind.

Yes, she did underestimate the enemy.

Since returning to the Yun family, she has taken advantage of her rebirth and has been smooth sailing, and step by step she has guided Yun Mo, the fake real gold, into the fire pit she has dug.

Seeing Yun Mo disgraced and falling into the quagmire, she felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment and was convinced that Yun Mo would not be her opponent.

But in fact, since the day Yun Mo got married, she has never gained the upper hand in the confrontation with Yun Mo.

And she didn't realize this problem until today, when Yun Shixian reminded her.

She didn't deserve the slap at all.

"Dad, thank you for your teaching. I understand where I went wrong and where I lost."

In the study, Yun Shi continued to criticize Yun Yao with a look of disappointment.

"Originally, I wanted to take advantage of this banquet to discuss your marriage with Ming'an with the Su family, but you were so busy competing with Yun Mo that you ruined my plan.

I tell you, if the Su family wants to cancel the engagement because of what happened today, you will have to fend for yourself from now on, and I will not care about you anymore!"

Hearing this, Yun Yao was completely panicked.

She has always been very clear about what she did in private. Yun Shixian might not have seen it, but he just chose to turn a blind eye.

After all, she is her biological daughter, and there is an extra bond of blood relationship. What's more, Yun Mo, the adopted daughter, is spoiled, arrogant, domineering, stupid and pretentious, and is not capable of taking on important responsibilities.

But she was different. Although she grew up in the countryside, she was gentle, respectful, generous and decent, which obviously better met the Su family's requirements for a daughter-in-law.

But if Yun Shixian gave up on her, then she would have no advantage over Yun Mo.

She couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

In this life, she must marry a noble man like Su Mingan and become a superior person.

"Dad, I have a way to get Ming'an and I married sooner, but I need your help..."

After leaving the Yun family, Zeng Fang asked the driver to drive to the hospital, but Yun Mo said no and asked the driver to drive directly back to the courtyard.

Zeng Fang disagreed and advised: "Momo, your feet are so swollen, maybe you have injured your bones and muscles. If you don't get treatment in time, it will be terrible if you have sequelae. Listen to me, let's go to the hospital."

Yun Mo looked at the driver and whispered a few words into Zeng Fang's ear.

Zeng Fang was skeptical after hearing this, "Really?"

Yun Mo chuckled, "If I lie to you, I'd be a puppy."

"Okay then, Uncle Wen, let's go to No. 28 Guoxing Road."

"Okay, miss."

The courtyard houses where the Yun family and Yun Mo rented were all in the southern part of the city, not far away and could be reached in a short drive.

As soon as they entered the door, Dabai and Erbai came towards them with flapping wings and making "ga ga ga" sounds. Their two long beaks kept pecking at the surface of Yunmo's shoes, as if accusing her.

Why did you come back just now? Who do you want to starve to death? Yun Mo patted the heads of the two geese with a good temper, "Be good, go to the rice dregs and wait, I will change my shoes and come to feed you."

“Quack, quack.”

That’s good enough, hurry up!

"Momo, let me help you feed Dabai and Erbai. You take a rest." Zeng Fang volunteered while changing into slippers.

Yun Mo smiled and waved her hands, "No, these two guys are very picky eaters and only eat what I feed them."

Zeng Fang didn't believe it, so she ran to the kitchen to cut some vegetables, put them in a rice bowl, mixed them with some corn flour and dried shrimps, and poured them into the round stone trough in front of the two geese.

"Eat, eat quickly, aren't you hungry?"

No matter what Zeng Fang said, the two geese were as steady as old dogs, holding their necks high and not even looking at the food in the trough. Zeng Fang was so angry that she ran to Yun Mo to complain.

"Momo, your two geese are really hard to take care of. I mixed the green leaves according to the way you usually feed them, but they didn't even touch them, as if I had poisoned them."

"I told you they are picky eaters, but you still don't believe me."

In fact, the two geese were not picky eaters, but Yun Mo had fed them too much.

When Yun Mo fed the two geese, she would soak the corn meal and fish meal in spiritual spring water before mixing them with fresh green leaves.

After feeding the two geese, Yun Mo took some hot water, washed the daffodil juice off her feet, and then applied anti-allergic ointment. The redness and swelling on her ankles were visibly reduced.

Zeng Fang was amazed. "Momo, how did you do it? Can you tell me? I promise not to tell anyone, or I will be struck by lightning."

Yun Mo laughed, "It's not that exaggerated. What do you want to hear?"

"I want to hear both. When did you switch the jade pendants? And how did you smear the daffodil juice on your feet? You are so bold. Aren't you afraid of being discovered in public?"
