Matchmaker Zhao came to see Mo Wenying again, but to her surprise, the entire Mo family was there!
However, she was only surprised for a moment, and quickly returned to normal; she had seen this kind of scene too many times!
Although Mo Wenying was remarried, she had powerful connections, so she couldn't be careless. She understood that, she understood everything!
Mo Wenying's own opinion doesn't count; the Mo family also needs to agree for it to be truly approved!
So, Zhao the matchmaker greeted them familiarly, and then, at the invitation of the Mo family, sat down.
A smiling face is a matchmaker's standard feature!
Even when facing the somewhat tense Mo family, Zhao the matchmaker remained calm and composed, thanks to her years of experience in climbing and rolling!
I thought that getting together would make things easier to discuss and get things done quickly, but unexpectedly, things fell apart!
"What! That old bastard dared to lie to me! I'm so angry!"
The Mo family didn't want to waste time, so they got straight to the point after Zhao, the matchmaker, sat down.
Upon hearing this, Zhao the matchmaker was so angry that she stood up abruptly, her smile completely gone.
She felt deceived, hurt, and humiliated!
She really thought that man genuinely wanted to find a wife; he made it sound so nice, but it turned out he didn't!
How is she supposed to face anyone after this? She's lost so much face!
The Mo family wields considerable influence in this area. They don't even use their brains to scheme against others; they're truly overestimating themselves!
It even implicated her, almost ruining her hard-earned reputation!
Pooh!
What was supposed to be a good marriage turned out to be full of scheming. I didn't get any money and I even ruined my future!
If she messes up, do you think the Mo family will let her off easily?
Zhao, the matchmaker, was so angry that her chest heaved. She apologized to the Mo family repeatedly before leaving in a hurry.
Where to?
Without a doubt, she's going to settle scores with that man!
That's their business, let them do whatever they want!
Mo Wenying's child also heard some rumors and was very scared. If he didn't have a father, wouldn't he be a pitiful creature that no one would want if he didn't have a mother?
The people in the village are all good at reading people's expressions and doing things their own way. If they lose their support, they will definitely be bullied terribly!
In fact, they have always been talked about by other children, and they can't shut others up at all!
Now that I hear my mother is leaving too, I'm almost in tears!
Mo Wenying noticed their fear and worry, talked to them for a long time, and promised to stay with them and not leave them, which put them at ease.
The Mo family also showed them more care, which made them feel much more at ease.
As the year drew to a close, a sudden heavy snowfall blanketed everything in white.
Everyone stayed home, slaughtering chickens and ducks, preparing a big feast!
When we're eating and drinking, nobody will say anything!
Many families look forward to this moment all year round!
The whole family gathers around and enjoys the most sumptuous meal, which smells delicious!
The entire Mo family returned, and they were all together, making it incredibly lively!
The house was always warm and cozy, so they didn't feel any difficulty moving around. When they got busy, they would even break out in a light sweat.
The children played with their toys, sometimes crying, sometimes laughing.
The adults ignored them and let them play however they wanted; if problems arose, they were to solve them themselves!
The whole village was filled with laughter and joy—no, except for the village chief's house.
The village chief also has children, but because of Liu Qianqian, the village chief was heartbroken and his mental state has been poor ever since. His children were ordered to be quiet and not make any noise!
Even laughing is not allowed!
Fearing they might offend the village chief, the whole family proceeded with extreme caution.
Even during the Lunar New Year, children are not allowed to jump around, shout, or laugh loudly.
Because the heavy snow came suddenly, it was much colder than before, and some families who didn't have heating systems were having a hard time.
It looks like it'll be cold until the end of next spring, and who knows if it'll get even colder!
Those people regretted it then. Seeing how warm and cozy other people's homes were, and then looking at their own homes, they felt so cold and desolate!
Although this has been the case in previous years, it's a bit hard to accept once you compare it to the past.
It was indeed colder than usual this year; they were careless!
It's too late to regret it now, because during the Lunar New Year, who wouldn't want to stay home with their family, warm themselves by the stove, eat, drink, and chat?
By this time, no one was working!
We only get a few days a year to be able to enjoy peace and quiet as a matter of course!
Whether you can endure it or not, you have no choice but to grit your teeth and persevere!
The Mo family had a happy New Year, and the atmosphere at the Marquis of Anping's residence also changed from its usual sad and gloomy state.
Marquis Anping was somewhat bewildered, feeling as if something had slipped out of his control!
He felt inexplicably uneasy, sensing that something was being kept from him by the household, but he couldn't find any evidence!
But he trusted his intuition; something was definitely going on!
Because he could sense the difference, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was different, and it felt extremely strange!
This frustrated him greatly, leading him to make wild guesses, but he ultimately couldn't find any substantial evidence!
Logically speaking, with the only legitimate daughter of the household missing, the household should be shrouded in deep sorrow, especially during the New Year. The thought of the girl who may never have suffered possibly shivering in the cold wind is bound to put everyone in a good mood!
He didn't want his family to be sad or not want them to have a happy New Year. It just didn't make sense. Something just felt wrong!
Sometimes he even felt a sense of disbelief, wondering if he was still dreaming, and why he always had this unreal feeling.
Yes, that's right!
It just felt like the people in the mansion, especially his mother, wife, and children, weren't so sad anymore, but if you looked closely, their faces were still full of grief!
Those expressions didn't seem fake!
He tried to probe his mother by asking her questions, but she found out everything and gave him a severe scolding, without any mercy!
From then on, he dared not test the waters again.
He knew that his wife and children had a lot of opinions about him, and even some resentment. He hadn't protected his daughter well, and he did bear a lot of responsibility, so he endured it!
They suspected his concubine of being involved in his daughter's affair. In fact, he had his suspicions, but everything needs evidence!
Either the other party didn't do it, or they did it flawlessly and then wiped away all traces afterward!
He wasn't that heartless; he kept looking for evidence and never gave up searching for his daughter's whereabouts!
We've found some clues, but they're too few and too fragmented to be considered evidence!
To dare to make such a grand scheme, there must be someone behind it all. That person is either his enemy or the Long family's enemy!
Moreover, the person behind this must be quite powerful; it couldn't have been done by just one or two people!
"Grandma, do you think my clothes look good?"
"It looks good! But it's freezing cold, you can't wear so little, it's too cold! Quickly put on a few more layers to keep warm!"
"No need! Grandmother, this dress looks thin, but it's very warm! I've prepared one for you too, why don't you try it on?"
"Did you find this somewhere again? Oh my! It feels really nice! Is it suitable for an old woman like me?"
"Perfect! You should give it a try!"
