As a scholar, did he not know the consequences of illicit relations? Did he not know that a woman who elopes with another man becomes a concubine?
What does it mean if you don't have your parents' approval or a marriage proposal?
That means he didn't care about Nan Yin at all, and even did it on purpose, deliberately ruining Nan Yin's reputation so that she could only be with him from then on.
He could marry Nan Yin without spending a single penny, and since Nan Yin had a bad reputation, he could do even more things in the future.
"Grandmother, that's not it. He said it's because the time isn't right yet, and he can only marry me after he passes the imperial examination." Nan Yin quickly defended her beloved. He said how could he ask for the hand of a noble lady if he didn't pass the imperial examination? But she didn't care at all.
She didn't care whether he was in high school or not.
"Those are all excuses. What are you now? You're secretly exchanging gifts. If people find out, do you still care about your reputation? Do you know that if you lose your reputation, you won't be the only one; your sisters and cousins will also be implicated."
Looking at her granddaughter kneeling on the ground, crying uncontrollably, Mo Yan thought she must be out of her mind.
“I…” Nan Yin’s expression changed drastically as she looked at her two younger sisters. She… hadn’t thought about this.
"She's stupid. She can't imagine it, and neither can you two? With an older sister who has a secret affair, what if the other women in her household also have secret affairs? What if they also have entanglements with men!"
Who would want to marry you in the future?
All they know is how to scheme against Nan Yin and ruin her reputation, but they don't even consider the principle that we all share in each other's fate.
When people are looking for a daughter-in-law, of course they want someone with a good reputation. Who would want someone who has been having an affair before they are even engaged?
Nan Yue and Nan Xing's expressions changed drastically; they hadn't considered this question before.
"Grandmother, is my happiness less important than those so-called reputations?" Nan Yin was already crying uncontrollably. She felt that her grandmother only cared about reputations and didn't care about her, her granddaughter, at all.
"Oh, there really isn't." Mo Yan glanced at Nan Yin indifferently.
She's someone who doesn't consider others at all; what right does she have to question that?
Nan Yin: "..."
“Nan Yin, my Nan family feeds you and provides you with all the comforts you need to grow up in luxury. Instead of protecting the Nan family’s reputation, you question me? Where do you get the nerve?”
Without the title of Miss Nan, who do you think you are? Are you eager to become someone's concubine?
What is a concubine? She's just a thing! What's the use of a man being nice to you? This inner court is a woman's domain; his mother and wife have countless ways to deal with you.
Mo Yan may have been intentionally saying this to Nan Yue.
Nan Yue was trembling all over, feeling that her grandmother was doing it on purpose, saying it on purpose.
After hearing this, Nan Yin just cried and cried. She knew the truth in her heart, but she didn't want to admit it.
"Guards, take the young lady to the back courtyard. From now on, she must fend for herself. No one is allowed to bring her food or money. Also, prepare a week's worth of food for her; she must find her own way to survive."
From now on, if you want something, you'll have to use your own money to buy it.
Furthermore, give all those who helped me ten lashes with a board.
As soon as Mo Yan spoke, someone immediately dragged the three of their maids away and beat them.
"I'm the kind of person who takes my anger out on others, so you two can go and get back to work in the yard over there. Of course, you still have to attend class."
Mo Yan waved her hand to indicate that she didn't want to see them again.
After learning of Mo Yan's decision, Gao came over immediately.
Upon seeing Mo Yan, she immediately bowed.
"Mother, I..."
Before she could even begin to speak, Mo Yan reached out and interrupted her.
"You think I did something wrong? You think your daughter didn't have any secret affairs? Or you think it's okay as long as no one finds out?"
