It's okay to be scared, but don't be scared to death!
Mo Qinghe nodded, "It'll definitely scare them! I'm actually looking forward to my wife's amazing performance."
Su Nanxi glared at him, thinking, "Those who enjoy watching the show are always making things worse!"
Mo Qinghe chuckled softly, amused by his wife's eyes. His wife was just so adorable; even her wide-eyed stares were so beautiful!
He wasn't worried at all. His wife hadn't spoken up before and hadn't defended herself, and he didn't know how much pent-up frustration she had suffered! Don't think that his wife is a dumpling that can be molded and shaped at will. It's just that his wife doesn't care and therefore doesn't want to pay attention.
If his wife gets angry, he has to stand far away!
Having shared a bed and lived together for so long, he had a certain understanding of his wife's temperament. His wife seemed gentle and easy to get along with, and that was indeed the case, because she didn't like to meddle in other people's business. But if she got serious, she would be very stubborn and her actions would be ruthless and precise!
Don't even mention it! He angered her once, and his wife beat him up without any mercy. Ugh! So embarrassing!
Therefore, he had a gut feeling that his wife would take action this time, and not just talk about it.
However, Su Nanxi didn't say anything to argue with anyone. She observed the various reactions of the people around her with great interest and made a mental note of them.
She may not talk much, but she's not mentally impaired; she's capable of holding grudges.
Sigh! Since they've already set up the stage, it's not right for her not to fight. Look, they came here today on purpose to trample her into the mud. She should at least show some respect to her opponent!
So, Su Nanxi took a chicken foot, munched on it as she walked over, and quietly munched on the chicken foot from the outside.
Gao Yuling sneered at Cao Sanniang with a look of disdain. "Tsk tsk! You have a mouth and you can talk, but that doesn't mean you can defend yourself and clear your name! You just opened and closed your mouth and slapped so many bad labels on the mute girl, didn't you? Ha! You're just an old woman who's never left the mountains, what do you know! What, you saw it with your own eyes, did these things really happen? Dare to swear to God? Say you saw it with your own eyes and experienced it yourself, or else may you be struck by lightning and die a horrible death, dare you?"
Cao San Niang was furious. She thought she could easily stir up the pond, but unexpectedly a wild girl from who-knows-where suddenly appeared and messed things up, making it difficult for her to get away!
Where did this brat come from? The Mo family actually managed to invite a young lady from a wealthy family to a banquet. It seems she underestimated the Mo family.
That girl's clothes are not something these peasants can wear. One sleeve of hers could probably buy several sets of ready-made clothes!
She couldn't win an argument with them, and she didn't dare to hit them. She was so frustrated!
How could she dare to hit her? That girl wasn't someone to be trifled with either. If she rolled on the ground demanding compensation, where would she find the money to pay it?
Wealthy families have connections with the government. If she really hits someone—no, even just touches them—she could get into serious trouble, and it might even implicate her family!
At this moment, Cao Sanniang secretly regretted it. She shouldn't have been greedy and agreed to Liu Jingqiu's request. She might have been dragged into this mess!
But at this point, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue, even though she knew she had no chance of winning.
One thing to be thankful for is that she didn't bring her son or daughter; she came alone. Even if she were humiliated, it would only be by herself! She's old and can be shameless; she's not afraid of anything!
Thinking of this, Cao Sanniang became as energetic as if she had been injected with chicken blood, and raised her head to argue with Gao Yuling.
What can I do but cheer myself up and persevere to the end!
Gao Yuling was a somewhat domineering young lady. She was never polite to people and spoke without any mercy, always picking on people's sore spots.
Cao San Niang's face turned completely red, and she was so angry that her neck swelled up. In addition, people around her gathered and started pointing and whispering about her, and she couldn't take it anymore.
She thought she could run away after clearing up the mess, but she couldn't escape and was surrounded and talked about. This was not what she expected at all!
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they gathered around, partly out of curiosity and partly because they felt they had to show off after enjoying the delicious food from the Mo family.
As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's gift is bound to him."
Of course, most of those who gathered around were just watching the spectacle and didn't offer any help.
Those who spoke up mostly offered advice, hoping for a peaceful resolution and urging that the situation not be damaged on such a day, as it would be bad for the Mo family!
However, a few people spoke ill of Cao Sanniang, saying that if she wanted to cause trouble, she should go home and make trouble there! They didn't even look at the situation before coming here to stir up trouble!
Cao Sanniang made a final struggle, gritting her teeth to suppress her inner turmoil, "How could I be making a fuss? It's not like I deliberately wanted to smear her. Who would believe something she didn't do? She must have done it! With everyone here as witnesses, let her come out and explain herself whether it happened or not. If she says she really didn't, I'm willing to kneel down and apologize to beg for forgiveness!"
The Mo family was furious. If the mute girl could speak, would she have the right to spout nonsense like this?
I initially thought that since we were related by some roundabout means and lived in the same village, I invited Cao San Niang over for a meal. I didn't even bother to give her a few green vegetables as a gift. I just wanted to make it lively and that it was good that she came. I never expected that she would be so shameless and come with the intention of causing trouble!
The Mo family regretted it. If they had known, they would never have invited this person, no matter what their kinship was!
The other onlookers also realized that Cao Sanniang was there to cause trouble, not to eat. Look, she hadn't even eaten half of her meal!
She argued with people for a long time, and it's estimated that everyone present was dragged into the gossip.
Kao Yu-ling also felt that this was a troublemaker who had no other skills and only knew how to make a fuss. He was very annoying!
Gao Yuchen and Master Chen exchanged glances for a moment, but neither could come up with a good solution.
The woman is now insisting that the mute girl come forward to defend herself. Even if they come forward to clarify in the name of the government, the woman will not admit it and will only think that they are protecting her and deliberately letting the mute girl get away with it.
When you come to the Mo family for a meal, you have to give them some face. You can't embarrass the host, so you have to say a few words in their defense. That's perfectly reasonable!
Therefore, Chen and his advisor couldn't think of a solution for the time being, so they turned their attention to Xu Taifu, who was knowledgeable and experienced and should have a way to solve the problem.
To everyone's surprise, Grand Tutor Xu didn't even raise his head, and just kept eating his meat leisurely with his head down!
Why!
You can't have any expectations!
Grand Tutor Xu couldn't be bothered with them. He knew these two were just trying to get him to do things, not use their brains properly. Shouldn't an old man like him be eating and drinking well?
Why think so much? That's for young people!
"Let's see how things go. If there's no progress in a while, we'll stick to the usual procedure and not care about her being a woman!"
Gao Yuchen sighed and said to Master Chen.
Master Chen nodded, "Yes!"
Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly froze, his eyes wide open, looking as if he had seen a ghost.
"If I speak up in defense, you'll kneel down and apologize, right?"
