Mo Yan stood up, walked towards her, and slapped her across the face.
With a "smack," Xu Youran was stunned.
She had never been hit before; this was the first time. She looked at her mother-in-law in shock, "Mother?"
Mo Yan slapped her again and looked at the people in the courtyard. "Someone, if Madam wants to cultivate in seclusion, then she should act like one. Take everything in this courtyard to her storeroom and lock it up."
How can a person who cultivates the Tao eat these things? This is disrespectful to the Buddha and Bodhisattvas. From today onwards, Madam will be vegetarian, and she must put away all the clothes and jewelry that she shouldn't have.
I'll start copying Buddhist scriptures today; don't just go through the motions.
You Ran, don't worry. Since you have no intention of taking care of Yu Die, from now on Yu Die is no longer your daughter. She is just the eldest daughter of my Xiao family.
As for you maids and servants, you're all too many. Go out and do some work. Just leave Yang Mama here.
Xu Youran: "???"
Xu Youran was stunned. She quickly shook her head, "This won't do. Mother, this won't do. I take care of my own little courtyard..."
"Didn't you say you were unwilling to manage things?" Mo Yan said with a dark face, giving Xu Youran a cold look that startled her.
"Since you have seen through the illusions of the world, then you should act as if you have seen through the illusions of the world. Or do you want to divorce my son and really go to a Taoist temple or Buddhist hall to become a monk?"
Don't worry, I can grant your wish if you want it. From now on, I'll tell Yudie not to bother you anymore.
As for your belongings, I won't touch your dowry; they will all be given to Yudie in the future.
"Why aren't you doing it yet?"
Mo Yan gave her a cold look, and the servants quickly began to work.
Yang's mother tried to intervene, but was stopped by Mo Yan's mother.
Mo Yan's maid was also highly skilled in martial arts, and she quickly rendered Mother Yang unable to move.
"Mother, daughter-in-law..." Xu Youran was extremely nervous; she didn't want to see her things being moved away.
"Alright, that's settled then. Don't worry, I won't touch your things. I'll also tell your father about this, and I believe he'll agree with what I'm doing."
Xu Youran, you are not just yourself; behind you are your children, your husband's family, and your own family.
Of course, as long as you give up all of this, you will no longer be Xu Youran, and you can do whatever you want. I can let you leave, how about it?
Or you can divorce Xiao Minghui, and from then on, your Xu family and Xu Youran will have nothing to do with my Xiao family, how about that?"
In Mo Yan's opinion, the Xu family did not love Xiao Yudie much, otherwise they would not have ignored her for so many years. If anyone in the Xu family had scolded Xu Youran, things would not be like this now.
Xu Youran's face turned deathly pale, and she couldn't utter a single word.
Without her saying a word, Mo Yan knew her choice.
See, Xu Youran herself knows very well that she cannot give up her identity as a daughter of the Xu family, nor is she willing to leave the Xiao family.
Xu Youran wasn't stupid, nor did she not know what she wanted; she knew it very well!
Mo Yan ordered everyone to put away all her belongings in the courtyard and lock them in the inner treasury. All the maids and servants were to leave and were forbidden to serve her. She prepared writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones for her to copy Buddhist scriptures. Finally, she ordered her to become a vegetarian from then on. Since she wanted to see through the world and accompany the Bodhisattva, she should accompany him properly and not pretend to be a vegetarian.
After doing all this, Mo Yan sealed her acupoints, thus sealing her martial arts, including that of Mother Yang.
"Alright, from now on you can stay here and cultivate in peace."
Mo Yan left with the others, and Xu Youran plopped down on the ground. She looked up at Yang's mother, crying.
"Mom, what do we do now? What are we going to eat and drink today?"
Although she used to keep herself isolated, she lived a comfortable life. Now that all her belongings have been taken away, she looked at the empty courtyard and was filled with sorrow. It was even more heartbreaking than when she first learned that Xiao Minghui was going to take a concubine.
Xiao Yudie followed her grandmother silently without crying the whole way. But when she realized she was back in her own courtyard, her nose tingled and she couldn't hold back her tears any longer.
She kept wiping away tears, and I didn't know why, but the tears just wouldn't stop.
She looked at Mo Yan through her tears, "Grandmother, I didn't mean to cry."
Crying is useless, crying doesn't solve anything, so why do tears keep falling? Why?
