What if the old man misunderstands?
What happened back then didn't really have much to do with her. Besides, if her sister hadn't been with that person, wouldn't that have been fine? What does it have to do with her if she liked someone?
She did indeed wait, and soon a servant announced that the master had arrived.
When she saw him come in, she quickly lowered her head and spoke.
"Grandpa, I thought you would never come back."
Seeing the old man come in, she lowered her eyes and tears streamed down her face. She didn't care, because that's what makes her so pitiful, isn't it?
The old man used to wipe away her tears, but now, looking at the woman in front of him, he felt somewhat unfamiliar with her.
He once thought Wan'er was innocent and kind, but she was very self-conscious because she lived under someone else's roof.
But he never imagined she was so cunning.
"I want to know, what really happened back then?"
Hearing this, Aunt Wan felt as if her heart was being torn apart. So he really wanted to be with her sister back then, otherwise why would he have asked that question?
"You really want to know?" She looked up, her eyes filled with tears, sadness, and despair. "Did you really mean it when you said you loved me?"
"Of course!" The old man frowned; how could she question his love?
"Then why didn't you marry me in the first place! Why did you marry the Gao family?"
She had wanted to ask him for a long time. Although she had many schemes, her feelings for him were genuine.
"I was engaged to her back then," the old man said after thinking for a moment.
"That's still not enough love, otherwise why would you have let me become your concubine?" The man's promises were so fake, yet she believed them.
"Wan'er, I told you, I wronged you back then, and I can find you a suitable husband. You were the one who wanted to marry me."
The old man frowned, feeling that Wan'er truly didn't understand her. "I also want to let you go. If you don't leave, I'll never be able to let you go. Although you're a concubine, how have you been different from the legal wife all these years? Haven't my love for you been obvious enough? Haven't I shown you enough favoritism?"
Actually, he knew he was a jerk, but he just had a soft spot for Wan'er and wanted to love her a little more.
Men always have countless reasons to be a jerk, and they say them with such self-righteousness.
"Yes, it's my own choice." How good could the person he chose be? He was just some scholar. She was different from her sister. Her sister was willing to give everything for love, but she wanted to live a better life.
She was unwilling to work in the fields or go out to make a living, so she would marry him even if he were a concubine.
"Then what about you? Why did you scheme against your sister? Why did you let her meet such a person?"
In fact, he never liked Wan'er's sister. He just felt that Wan'er was too unfamiliar now. In his eyes, she was innocent and needed to be protected, not someone who schemed against others.
“I didn’t. I just know they knew each other, and that it was after we left my aunt’s house.”
While at Mo Yan's family home, they naturally couldn't contact the outside world; everything only happened after they left the Mo family.
"I didn't like her. From beginning to end, I only liked you, the innocent and kind person who needed my protection."
I liked the way you needed me, so I always protected you. But I never imagined your ambition would grow so large, until even your daughter started plotting against her sister. Wan'er, I'm so disappointed..."
It was at this moment that Madam Gao came in with her people, and saw that the old man was also there.
"Oh, the old man is here too. Perfect, I don't need to inform you. Guards, arrest the concubine."
People around Madam Gao immediately came over, grabbed Aunt Wan, and another mother-in-law and daughter-in-law slapped her several times.
"Outrageous! What are you doing! Madam, have you gone mad? I've told you, Wan'er's affairs are none of your business!"
Mo Yan followed her in, walked straight to the front, sat down, and then glared at her eldest son.
"It's because you can't distinguish right from wrong that your house is such a mess! Even though the second son brings in women one by one, at least those women don't dare to mess with the wife."
Eldest son: "..."
"Mother, it's clearly..."
Before the old man could finish speaking, Mo Yan reached out, and the old woman next to her took out a stick. Mo Yan took the stick and started tapping it on the table next to her, then casually looked at her eldest son, "What did you say?"
The old man: "..." (\u003d′口｀\u003d)
The old man swallowed the rest of his words. Did he want to say something? No!
Mo Yan was satisfied with her eldest son's reaction, then looked at her daughter-in-law and said, "Continue."
Seeing her mother-in-law's support, Gao realized that if she still couldn't stand on her own two feet, then she would be truly finished.
"Someone come and keep hitting them."
After the beating, her face was unrecognizable. Mo Yan didn't intend to interfere and let Gao Shi handle it herself.
"Lock up your aunt and make her cultivate herself properly from now on. She should copy Buddhist scriptures every day, and she is not allowed to eat if she does not finish."
"No, how can we not eat?" the old man finally couldn't help but say.
"Why not! Sir, do you know that she had the Third Miss plot against the Eldest Miss? Now everyone in the manor knows that the Eldest Miss is having an affair. Do you think this is not serious?"
Gao discovered after investigating that her daughter had lost her reputation. Everyone was saying that she had been having an affair, that her younger daughter had betrayed her sister and framed her older daughter, and that Nanxing was the true heiress of the Nan family.
Why? Why did she get all this in return for her forbearance?
Her daughter's reputation is ruined, what will she do now?
She could no longer tolerate it. From now on, all men should die; she would only care about her children.
Fortunately, her son is still studying obediently, otherwise she would really feel that she has ruined all three of her children.
"How could this be?" The old man looked at Aunt Wan'er, who didn't dare to look at him at all. At this moment, he understood.
How could you lay a hand on children?
"Why not!" Wan'er's heart died the moment he protected her when she wasn't there.
He actually watched them hurt her like this, so what did she care about? "Our daughter can only be an illegitimate daughter, why should she?"
I want her to have a better life too. I want her to leave the Marquis's mansion and become its legitimate daughter. I want her to be someone's principal wife in the future. You promised me that, have you forgotten?
The old man fell silent.
He didn't know how to answer.
Mo Yan couldn't bear to look. "Take her away immediately. Aunt Wan is seriously ill. From now on, Miss Nanxing will take care of her."
With just one sentence, Mo Yan laid out her future: she would be sick in the small courtyard, and her daughter would be destined to take care of her mother.
"Mother..." The old man wanted to say something, but Mo Yan hit him with a stick.
He got a bump on his head. He was so dizzy from the blow.
"Are you out of your mind? Do you really think a few prostitutes could do all this? Go investigate right now!"
These incidents are like a series of plays, one after another. Could there be nothing behind them?
