The three members of Mo Jinghao's family turned pale and said through gritted teeth, "We got up to use the toilet and accidentally fell."
You can't exactly say that you were beaten up by His Highness the Crown Prince, can you?
"Sister, come and eat."
Mo Yunzhao couldn't see it, nor did she intend to waste any extra emotions on people who were already dead in her eyes.
Mo Yunlan was in a good mood, so she sat down next to her and told her about the embarrassing things the three of them did.
Both Qian Shi and Mo Bici had a shoehorn mark on their faces, which probably wouldn't fade for two or three days.
Mo Jinghao's eyes were swollen and he walked with a limp, looking like a lame toad, which was really laughable.
Mo Yunzhao listened quietly, wondering who had such great ability to come to the city lord's mansion to beat people up in the middle of the night without causing any commotion.
Suddenly, that warm voice rang in my ears.
Could it be that lecherous Ling Jingyu?
But... he would hit people with a shoehorn?
Just then, he felt someone sit down beside him. Mo Yunzhao glanced at him slightly and asked, "Did I tell you to sit down?"
Madam Qian, who had been holding back her anger for a long time, finally roared, "Mo Yunzhao, what do you mean?"
"Fu Liu, slap her."
“Mo Yunzhao…”
*Smack*
Qian staggered a step after being slapped, and Mo Bici quickly supported her. She saw that half of Qian's face was swollen and blood was seeping from the corner of her mouth.
It's clear that the slap was delivered with considerable force.
She looked up at Mo Jinghao in disbelief, "Father."
Mo Jinghao's face was ashen and swollen. "There are no elders before the city lord. You cannot be allowed to be disrespectful to the city lord."
Qian shrank back after being yelled at, not daring to utter another word; she was afraid of her husband.
Mo Yunzhao picked up his chopsticks and said calmly, "If you are unwilling to serve, then please leave the City Lord's Mansion and return to your Mo Mansion."
The Mo family has its own mansion, but the city lord's mansion belongs only to the city lord.
The reason Mo Jinghao and his family were able to move in was because the old city lord still cared about his family and because Mo Yunzhao didn't kick them out.
The fact that they lived in the Mo Mansion and the City Lord's Mansion made their statuses vastly different.
Therefore, even if they had to endure humiliation, they would stay at the city lord's mansion.
Mo Yunzhao: "Second Uncle, I have prepared a gift for you."
"A gift?" Mo Jinghao's tone was somewhat flattered, but if you listened closely, you could hear his disdain.
Soon, Mo Yunlan and Fu Meng entered, along with a tall, thin young man.
Mo Jinghao stared at the figure, his eyes widening in surprise.
This is Yu San, whom he deliberately let go last night, wanting to leave Mo Yunzhao with an enemy, but now he has been caught and brought back!
"Does Second Uncle like this gift?" Mo Yunzhao asked casually.
Mo Jinghao immediately knelt down, "Jinghao has failed in his duties, please punish me, City Lord."
When Yu San saw Mo Jinghao, he struggled, "Uncle Mo, save me! I don't want to die! You said you'd let me live, that you'd let me find my sister, you would..."
Before he could finish speaking, Mo Jinghao unleashed a gust of wind, slicing through the boy's neck. The gurgling sound of blood rendered him speechless.
The stench of blood filled the air once more.
Mo Jinghao kowtowed in fear, "Yu San is just trying to sow discord. Please, City Lord, do not believe him and cause internal strife."
Mo Yunzhao raised his hand to signal Fu Liu to prepare the vegetables, "Second Uncle has failed in his duties. Now I'm removing you from your position of managing the general affairs of the City Lord's Mansion. Do you accept this?"
"Third Sister..."
Mo Jinghao spoke before Mo Bici, "Jinghao obeys."
Mo Yunzhao was looking for an opportunity to remove him from his position and gradually eliminate his second wife from the city lord's mansion.
This is a power grab.
