"I must thank Uncle Mo for his help. I'll be leaving now. If things don't go smoothly, I wouldn't want to trouble you and your wife unless absolutely necessary."
Butler Mo watched Li Zhenzhen's figure disappear into the distance before returning to the courtyard to report the matter to Mr. Mo.
Mo Qing listened to the news from the housekeeper and remained silent for a moment. In his memory, Li Zhenzhen was a smart and resilient woman, but her daughter was somewhat short-sighted and foolish.
Perhaps it's because they're too young and overprotected that they're more prone to making foolish mistakes.
Moze was a distant cousin of his, about the same age. He was somewhat eccentric and lacked business acumen. His family's assets were accumulated from the older generation's savings and the dividends he received from the clan.
Moreover, Moze's mother was notoriously mean and fierce, and the fact that Moze's wife and children died one after another in this disaster was inseparable from his mother's influence.
This kind of person is really not a good match, but after hearing the steward's message, Mo Qing knew that Li Zhenzhen must have taken a liking to that child.
"Tell Madam about this as well, and also invite Miss to listen in as well," Mo Qing instructed the housekeeper.
Uncle Mo asked, "Sir, do you think we should get a doctor to take a look at Miss Chen?"
Mo Qing shook her head: "Since Ms. Li didn't make this request, it must mean the problem isn't serious. Besides, it concerns her daughter's reputation, so I don't think she wants us to get too involved and attract attention. Let's see what they decide later."
Mo Qing didn't think it was a big deal. If Mo Ze agreed to the marriage, then let them get married.
But if Mo Ze was just toying with the girls, it would only take Mo Qing a word to seek justice for them.
There's almost no need to overthink what happened between the two of them; the responsibility definitely lies with Mo Ze. One is nearly forty, and the other is not even nineteen. Given that they had a relationship under these circumstances, the older one is certainly more responsible.
Moreover, Mo Qing knew that Mo Ze had been looking for another wife recently, but he never expected that Mo Ze would set his sights on such a young girl, which he found utterly despicable.
Mo Bao'er sat next to her mother and stared wide-eyed in surprise after hearing what the housekeeper had relayed.
She said to her mother, "Uncle Ze is too much! Jiaojiao is so young, and he's already taken a liking to her and even bullied her. He's a real scoundrel!"
Xiao Yue gestured for the housekeeper to leave with her eyes, then smiled and said to her daughter, "What? You feel sorry for your friend, and you're standing up for her now?"
