She didn't know what the old lady wanted to do, and of course, she didn't dare call her aunt anymore.
"What does the old lady want me to do by staying?" She was even trembling slightly.
"It's nothing serious, just about how much you know about Nanxing's scheme against Nanyin? What have you done behind your husband's back?"
Back then, because her family had fallen on hard times, the Mo family took her in. When Mo Yan returned with his two sons, they played together. At that time, Wan'er acted like a little girl and had a lot of fun with them.
Did she already have this idea back then?
"Madam, this is absolutely not true. The Third Miss and the Eldest Miss have always been very close sisters. How could she possibly do anything to the Eldest Miss?"
As she said this, Wan'er immediately knelt down with a thud.
You see, because the eldest son doted on her, Nan Yue was no different from the legitimate daughter, while the two illegitimate daughters of the second son's family did not have a good life.
"Sisterly affection?" Mo Yan laughed when she heard this. The names of the sisters were all given by the original owner. Only this third young lady, Nanxing, was named by her eldest son himself, who also said that she should not be included in the ranking of sisters, but should be ranked among the boys. The original owner naturally disagreed.
If her eldest son were to say this to her now, Mo Yan felt she would still have to give him a beating.
"Yes, sisterly affection." Wan'er said through gritted teeth, her forehead covered in sweat. This was the first time she had felt that the old lady in front of her was so unfamiliar, and her imposing manner also made her a little afraid.
"Maybe so. The kind of sisterly love where the older sister wants her to marry a piece of trash and suffer the consequences. I remember your sister was like that back then!"
Mo Yan looked down into her eyes, as if she could see into her heart and know all her deepest thoughts.
"I...I don't know what the old lady is talking about," Wan'er was already trembling. She knew, she actually knew everything, but how could that be!
How could that be?
She had an older sister who was skilled in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was so outstanding that Wan'er was afraid her sister would ruin everything for her, so she arranged a lover for her.
"You really don't know the same tricks? Were you really the one who exchanged love messages with my son using kites back then?!"
Just because the original owner didn't want to get involved in some things doesn't mean she didn't know them. A mother can't always interfere in her son's love life.
"I..." Wan'er trembled with fear, "Madam, please don't tell the master!"
"It's too late. I specifically asked him to come and listen." Mo Yan looked at the person outside with a cold face.
Wan'er felt utterly hopeless. She dared not turn around, but slowly turned to face him and saw her husband, the master.
"uncle……"
The eldest son turned and left, and Wan'er quickly got up and chased after him. The two of them disappeared from the scene.
Mo Yan had her steward summon three maids to come find her.
As for Nan Yue, well, that's not quite right either.
Nan Yue is the third legitimate daughter and the fourth daughter of the household; she and Nan Yin are biological sisters. However, she was an accomplice in this incident.
Perhaps she didn't know, perhaps she did know, perhaps she was naive, perhaps she was pretending to be naive. Nan Yin would meet that man; the culprit was Nan Xing, and the one who helped was Nan Yue.
Everyone thinks Nan Yue is a bit silly and stupid, while Nan Yin is obedient and sensible. With the instigation of some people, does Nan Yue really not care at all?
Doesn't she think it's unfair that everyone's focus is on her sister?
The three girls were a little scared when they heard that their grandmother was looking for them, because in their minds their grandmother was somewhat fierce, and they were afraid.
Although they were afraid, they had to face it. They quickly arrived at Mo Yan's courtyard and began to pay their respects.
"Granddaughter greets grandmother."
"Granddaughter greets grandmother."
"Granddaughter greets grandmother."
It has to be said that the eldest daughter-in-law is really stupid. She does whatever her eldest son says. If it were someone else, Aunt Wan would not be so arrogant.
Do you know why I called you here?
Mo Yan looked at the three girls and spoke calmly. With so many things she'd been up to lately, she didn't believe the three of them hadn't inquired about it.
"My granddaughter doesn't know."
"My granddaughter doesn't know."
"Granddaughter is wondering if Grandmother is going to ask us about our homework?" Nanxing thought for a moment and her eyes lit up. She looked at Moyan with a smile.
"No, I will check your homework, of course. Today I want to ask you about that scholar."
Upon hearing this, the three girls' expressions changed drastically. Nan Yin even swayed and was about to fall down when she finally gritted her teeth and knelt down.
“Grandmother, we are in love with each other. Please give us your blessing.”
At that moment, she thought that since her grandmother already knew, she no longer needed to hide it; she should just tell her grandmother the truth.
"What?" Mo Yan rubbed her ears, unable to understand how her daughter-in-law could raise such a naive granddaughter.
She's really just innocent, the kind of innocent that's very simple.
"You don't think you're wrong, and instead want me to grant your wish? Grant you what? Grant you your secret affair? Or grant you your desire to become a concubine?"
Mo Yan's voice rose considerably, and Nan Xing's eyes reddened. She felt that her grandmother was subtly criticizing her mother.
Actually, there really isn't; she usually says it outright.
“Grandma, I just want to be with the person I love. I don’t care if he’s rich or if he can get into high school. As long as we love each other, everything is worth it.”
She felt confident that she could walk with that person for a lifetime.
"You're dreaming. How are you going to get there? You can't lift a finger. What can a delicate young lady like you do?"
Even if you're willing to endure hardship with him, do you think he'll respect you if you don't have a family to rely on?
In ten years—no, just five—you'll be a haggard old woman, a worn-out maid. Someone will just dump you and find a young, beautiful one. Do you understand?
Why are naive rich girls easily deceived? Because they are foolish, because they have never been in the know. They mistake a few sweet words and expressions of concern for love and expect to give everything.
But they've never experienced the hardships of life. By the time they finally understand, men will already be disgusted. Because what they want isn't a haggard, worn-out woman, but a young, beautiful girl.
"No, no, he won't."
My grandmother once said, "One man for life, one woman."
As she said this, her eyes were filled with a smile, and her heart and soul were completely focused on that person.
"We have come to know and love each other, and we are committed to each other for life!"
Seeing her happy expression, Mo Yan interrupted her directly.
"He didn't care about you because of that. If he really cared about you, he would have openly and normally asked a matchmaker to come and propose to you. What's the point of doing it secretly?"
