Mo Yan arrives in a new little world once again.
At this moment, Mo Yan was in the living room, with a woman kneeling in front of her. She just knelt there without saying a word.
There was a woman crying nearby, and in the middle was another woman with tears in her eyes, looking very aggrieved.
"Grandmother, it's all my fault. I didn't see the road and accidentally walked in front of my sister. Otherwise, my sister wouldn't have pushed me and made me fall into the pond."
That's really true...
Mo Yan rubbed her temples and began to accept the plot without saying a word.
The original owner was the old lady of the family. Her son was a fourth-rank official, and she had a legal wife and a concubine.
The woman kneeling below is the concubine, who is also the original owner's cousin. Because of this relationship, this concubine is extremely arrogant.
Back then, the original owner's son, Xiao Minghui, went to the capital to take the imperial examination and met his daughter-in-law, Xu Youran, who was the daughter of a military general.
When Xiao Minghui encountered robbers, it was Xu Youran who rescued him and even took him to the capital. Later, they got engaged. At that time, Xiao Minghui had no relation to his aunt Lin Ling.
After Xiao Minghui and Xu Youran got married, they fell in love. Xiao Minghui was willing to marry into the family even if it meant becoming a concubine. Xu Youran was completely disappointed in Xiao Minghui.
The two then had two daughters at the same time: Xu Youran's daughter Xiao Yudie and Lin Ling's daughter Xiao Yufei.
One was Xu Youran, who ignored him, and the other was Lin Ling, who depended on him in every way and kept him company. Naturally, Xiao Minghui treated Lin Ling better and better, and by extension, he also treated Xiao Yufei very well.
Xiao Yudie has a fiancé, arranged by Xu Youran's father. He is a young prince who is quite handsome. Xiao Yufei was immediately unhappy about it, feeling that such a good marriage should be hers.
In reality, the other party was merely using Xiao Yufei to scheme against their family, intending to plot against Xiao Yudie's maternal grandfather and ultimately seize power.
This was the moment when Xiao Yufei pretended to be pushed into the pond by Xiao Yudie for the sake of that young prince.
The young prince was meant to appear when Xiao Yudie was in the most pain, to become her salvation, and thus to become the most important person to her, in order to gain the support of Xiao Yudie's maternal grandfather.
Starting with the Xiao sisters, he planned everything that followed; their family was merely cannon fodder on the young prince's path to seizing the throne.
Later, Xiao Yufei realized she had been tricked, yet she still insisted on becoming the young prince's concubine, and her entire family... was implicated and executed because of this.
Mo Yan watched Xiao Yufei's acting, which was so fake it couldn't be more fake... and couldn't help but throw the teacup next to her at her.
Xiao Yufei thought it was meant for Xiao Yudie, so she didn't dodge at all. Now her forehead was red from being hit, and all the tea was on her face.
"Ahhh..."
Xiao Yufei jumped up after being hit.
Mo Yan was caught and forced to kneel down again.
"What's all this commotion about? Don't you have any manners left?!"
Xiao Yufei felt extremely wronged and started sobbing.
"Grandma, why did you hit me?"
She looked at Xiao Yudie with a wronged expression.
Xiao Yudie was completely stunned at that moment; she also thought she was the one who had been hit.
She had no one to protect her since she was a child. Her mother was a vegetarian and a Buddhist, and didn't care about anything. The concubines in the mansion were in charge, and she ate and used the worst things. She fought desperately with her concubines for her own sake, but as a result, everyone said that she didn't act like a legitimate daughter.
Now that her grandmother has come from her hometown, she has no expectations. This grandmother and that aunt are related, so how could she possibly side with her?
As expected, Xiao Yufei acted as if her grandmother had pushed her into the pond.
This trick is not clever at all; anyone can see through it. It just depends on whether the other party is willing to understand it.
That good father of the past could never understand, but this time she thought...
"I hit you wrong? What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Is this how your aunt taught you? Teaching you all sorts of undignified things every day?"
Every word you say speaks ill of your sister, and it's also telling me that you're trying to cover something up!
Xiao Yufei was startled by Mo Yan's gaze and subconsciously looked at her aunt beside her.
Lin Ling hadn't expected her cousin to say that, so she quickly said, "Mother, many people saw this..."
Mo Yan went over and slapped Lin Ling, saying, "Did I tell you to speak?"
Lin Ling covered her face, looking at Mo Yan in disbelief, "Cousin?"
Mo Yan gave Lin Ling a cold look, which terrified her so much that tears welled up in her eyes.
Mo Yan had no intention of letting her off the hook, and spoke with a dark face.
“I am your mother-in-law, not your cousin. The two girls in the family have a dispute, and as the person in charge of the household, you did not ask what happened, but instead took your daughter's side. How can you manage the household? From today onwards, you don't need to manage the household anymore, nor do you need to teach the girls anymore.”
You've ruined the lives of perfectly good girls, making them un presentable.
Xiao Yufei refused to listen. What did she mean by "not presentable"? "Grandmother, how can you say that about my mother? My mother works hard to manage the household chores. She has done her best, even if she hasn't made any great contributions. How is my granddaughter not presentable?"
Therefore, concubines cannot teach their daughters to be good; they only teach them how to use petty, unsavory schemes to benefit themselves. And those schemes are so fake that they think they are incredibly clever.
"Guards, give your grandmother ten slaps on the hand for talking back. It seems you haven't learned any manners. Look at your sister, from the moment she spoke until now, has she said a single word back to me?"
You've been chattering away the whole time. What, are you a sparrow?
Your aunt said a lot of people were watching. Who were they? They were all your people, right?
Some things, I don't need evidence; I already know what really happened!
Lin Ling was a little flustered. This cousin was really amazing. It seemed like she knew everything. They had made a lot of preparations for this day and had many witnesses, but now the cousin said that she didn't need anything.
"Grandmother, you're being unfair!"
Xiao Yufei was not giving up and continued to speak.
"Twenty strokes of the cane, begin!"
The servant subconsciously glanced at Lin Ling, who was standing to the side.
Mo Yan smiled immediately. It seemed that Lin Ling was managing the household quite well, otherwise things wouldn't be like this now.
"What, does my word not carry any weight?"
Mo Yan's mother quickly stepped forward, took out a ruler, and pulled Xiao Yufei's hand to hit her.
"Smack!"
"Ah!" Xiao Yufei tried to shrink back in grievance, but Wang Mama held her even tighter, and the blows came down harder.
"Second Miss, if you don't cooperate, then this old servant will not show you any mercy."
Xiao Yufei felt excruciating pain; was this even mild?
"Smack!"
"Ouch, that hurts!"
"Smack!"
"Mother, help me!"
What happened?
Just then, a man's voice rang out.
"master……"
Lin Ling's cry of "Master" was tinged with a complex mix of emotions...
There was grievance, sadness, pain, and despair, but also the surprise and anticipation of seeing Xiao Minghui...
Looking at Lin Ling on the ground, Xiao Minghui felt very sorry for her.
