She hadn't even seen her daughter yet, but had already seen her in-laws, which naturally made her feel a little embarrassed. She didn't want to be seen like this.
But when she heard that her daughter was not doing well, she was furious.
How dare Zuo Lan bully her precious daughter?
"If you want to curse me or settle scores with me, you'd better get better first."
Besides, when I came in just now, I saw that your son was very obedient to that woman, which seemed a bit off. Don't you want to know what's really going on?
Mo Yan's words caused surprise and disbelief to flash in the old lady's eyes.
"You know how much I envied your son back then."
She was obedient, sensible, filial, and especially loved her younger sister. How could someone like that become a completely different person in such a short time, causing you, her mother, so much suffering? Don't you think there's something wrong with that?
Of course, this was just something Mo Yan said casually.
After all, this old lady wants to die, so we have to find some reason for her to live.
This old lady used to be quite proud, thinking she had two very obedient and sensible children.
But now, he's skin and bones, imprisoned in this small courtyard, waiting to die...
The moment Bailing rushed in and saw her mother in this state, she collapsed to the ground...
Then she couldn't stand up at all; her legs were weak, and she could only crawl to her mother's side.
"Mother, mother..."
When the old woman saw her daughter, tears welled up in her eyes.
I see her! I finally see her! I finally see my daughter!
She thought she would never see her daughter again in her life.
She opened her mouth and moved her lips, but couldn't utter a single word; her cloudy tears kept falling.
She wanted to say, "Daughter, don't cry."
She wanted to ask, "Daughter, have you been bullied?"
She wanted to say, "Daughter, your mother will stand up for you."
But now she couldn't say anything, and could only watch helplessly as her daughter crawled over.
The lark crawled to its mother's side and touched her hand.
Her mother was just skin and bones.
"Mother, I'm back. Your daughter is unfilial for only returning now."
She should have come back a long time ago. She doesn't live far away, so why does she only look at that tiny place in the backyard and not know to go home and see her mother?
She didn't even know her mother was being bullied; what kind of daughter is she?
"Mother, mother..."
The old lady reached out, wanting to touch her daughter, but Bailing quickly let her mother touch her face, knowing what her mother was worried about.
"Mother, I'm fine. I wasn't bullied. Mother has always protected me."
The old lady didn't believe her; that's not what Mo Yan said earlier.
Her tears still fell.
"Mother, you must get better. Once you get better, I will take you away from here."
Now she is free and can take her mother anywhere.
The old lady's eyes lit up when she heard this. How wonderful it would be if she could stay with her daughter forever.
Bai Ling knelt down before Mo Yan, pleading, "Mother, please, save my mother!"
Seeing Bailing like this, Mo Yan helped her up, saying, "Don't worry, your mother will get better."
Just then, Baiwan came in with his men.
The woman dressed in her finest attire was still beside him.
Baiwan's face was dark, his eyes devoid of any emotion, as he let the woman speak.
"Young Miss, you are no longer a member of our Bai family. You should leave quickly."
The woman's name is Green Willow, and she is now a concubine in this household.
As for his wife and children, he had already imprisoned them.
Seeing this woman, Bailing felt extremely disgusted and looked at her with a dark face, "Who are you? What right do you have to speak to me?"
"Big brother, what is she?"
Upon hearing Bai Ling mention her concubine, Bai Wan naturally couldn't tolerate it and said with a dark face, "This is my wife, Lv Liu. You must call her sister-in-law."
When he said these words, it was as if they had already been in his mind for a long time; he had only thought about them briefly before he spoke them aloud.
"Sister-in-law? She doesn't deserve it! Why did you make Mother suffer like this?"
Bailing took out his whip and was about to attack Baiwan.
"Who told her to be disobedient? I asked her for the key to the head of the family, and she wouldn't give it to me, so naturally I had to teach her a lesson. Besides, I didn't kill her, did I?"
Now even Bai Ling could sense that something was wrong with Bai Wan. He didn't even move his eyes when he spoke, as if he were mechanically saying those words.
"Big brother, what's wrong? Are you being controlled?"
Bai Ling felt that her older brother must be being controlled, otherwise why would he be behaving so strangely?
She couldn't believe that her older brother would treat their mother like this.
Green Willow laughed as she looked at them. "Husband, since the young lady said that, why don't you explain? Or perhaps you could arrest her first and then explain?"
Upon hearing Green Willow's words, Million's empty eyes seemed to light up instantly, and he immediately nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll arrest her and interrogate her."
“It’s not enough to just arrest her; we also need to tie her up and pierce her collarbones, just like your son did.”
Green Willow said this with a smile, as if it were something pleasant to hear.
Bai Ling was furious when she heard this; they had actually pierced her nephew's collarbone!
"Okay," Baiwan said gently.
After saying that, he immediately attacked Bailing, and Bailing joined in the fight.
