Chapter 104 Someone Comes from the Palace
Wang came and left in a hurry.
Everyone was caught off guard by Chunxi's swift and decisive action. Finally, Ning came to her senses first. She couldn't help but ask, "How could you do this to your own mother?"
Chunxi said confidently, "If Madam is interested in the trivial matters of my family, I can tell you in detail another day. Today, let's talk about Miss Mo first."
Chunxi drew everyone's attention back, and Ning immediately said with a serious face, "My daughter was married into the Marquis's Mansion in a grand sedan chair carried by eight people, and she has now proven her innocence. The Marquis's Mansion cannot deny this marriage!"
Chunxi nodded, without questioning Mo Yunwan's innocence, and reached behind her waist.
The people in the Mo family suddenly became nervous, and the maids and servants of the Mo family stepped forward vigilantly to protect Ning, fearing that Chunxi would take out a kitchen knife to chop Ning.
Chunxi paused and turned to look at Mo Yunwan who was standing behind Madam Mo: "They are all afraid that I will harm your mother. Miss Mo, don't you come to protect your mother?"
Mo Yunwan bit her lip and said softly, "If you have any dissatisfaction, just come to me, don't hurt others."
Having said that, Mo Yunwan still stood behind Mo without moving a step.
Chunxi raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Ning: "It seems that Miss Mo treats her own mother just like this."
Both Ning and Mo Yunwan felt a pang of relief in their chests. They had not expected Chunxi to be so vindictive. He took the opportunity to contradict what Ning had just said.
After saying this, Chunxi stopped playing tricks and took out a list from his waist and placed it in front of everyone.
"At first, everyone thought Miss Mo had accidentally fallen off a cliff. The Mo family blamed it on my husband, saying he had unlucky her. They even came to the Marquis' Mansion with great fanfare and demanded a large amount of compensation. Now that Miss Mo has returned safely, shouldn't you all return these things first?"
The Mo family's momentum suddenly weakened after seeing this list.
When Mo Yunwan got into trouble, they only wanted to take the opportunity to extort as much money as possible from Shen Qingyuan. Each branch contributed, and these things had already been divided up. It was precisely because of the benefits that when Mo Yunwan came back this time, each branch was willing to send people to help Mo Yunwan support and strengthen her momentum.
But now Chunxi wants them to spit out the fat they have already eaten. How can they be willing to do that?
Everyone in the Mo family looked at Ning, who immediately said, "Wan'er's accident happened because of Shen Qingyuan. She has been living outside for so many years and has suffered so much. Those things are the compensation she deserves!"
"Since it's the compensation she deserves, shouldn't she bring it back if she wants to return to the Marquis' Mansion?" Chunxi asked, and before Ning could speak, she continued, "Besides, my husband's reputation has been damaged over the years, and he has been a widower for many years because of her. Shouldn't the Mo family give my husband some compensation?"
The front hall was full of people, but Chunxi was alone, and she was petite. Apart from the kitchen knife at her waist, she had nothing else to rely on, but her aura was far superior to anyone else's.
Originally, everyone wanted to put pressure on her to resign or give up her position to Mo Yunwan, but she turned the situation around with just a few words, and it became her who was here to collect debts on behalf of Shen Qingyuan!
Everyone in the Mo family looked unhappy, but Mrs. Mo was no longer in a hurry.
She was not willing to let Mo Yunwan return to the Marquis' Mansion in the first place, and she felt even more disappointed when she saw that Mo Yunwan had no other options but to cry.
Mo Yunwan has a lot of bad things going on, and hanging around under Shen Qingyuan's nose will only cause endless trouble. It would be great if Chunxi could use this to force the Mo family to retreat. If not, it would be great to ask for some compensation from the Mo family, and then hold it in the hands of her mother-in-law.
Mrs. Mo did not scold Chunxi, but Mrs. Ning gritted her teeth and cursed Mrs. Mo in her heart. She knew that this sister-in-law was always profit-driven and could not be trusted at all!
Ning and Chunxi bargained for a while, but Chunxi refused to give in. For the sake of her daughter, Ning finally accepted the list.
Ning took a quick look. She was familiar with most of the things on it. They were indeed sent to the Mo family, but there were also some that she had never seen before. It seemed that someone had added them there to take advantage of the situation.
Ning couldn't help but glance at Mo, but Mo half-closed his eyes and avoided her gaze.
Ning gritted her teeth and put away the list. "I'll try to gather all these things. If I can't find them, I'll exchange them for cash at the market price. Our Mo family is wealthy and powerful. There's no need to ruin our daughter's marriage for such a small thing."
After Ning finished speaking, she looked at Chunxi with full authority.
She can raise money to support Mo Yunwan, but what does Chunxi have?
Chunxi met Ning's gaze and smiled faintly: "Since the Mo family is not short of money, please ask Madam to send someone back to count and calculate. Once the things are brought back, we can discuss the next step."
Chunxi has always been kind to rich people.
"Why should I listen to you? How can a newly married young wife like you be the master of the entire mansion?"
Ning was unwilling to be led by the nose. Chunxi shrugged and looked at Mo: "Mother has been silent just now. I think she approves of her daughter-in-law's actions, right?"
Mrs. Mo coughed lightly, not wanting to openly offend her family. She said with a stern face, "You've already put the knife on your waist. What can I, as your mother-in-law, do to you?"
Mrs. Mo's tone was not good, but her implication was that she supported Chunxi to get the Mo family's money first before discussing the next step.
Ning was really annoyed by Mo's attitude. She was afraid of being tricked by Chunxi, so she said coldly, "Since you asked me for this money, you are willing to give up the position of Madam Shen. I have prepared the deed. Please sign it first, and I will go home and collect the items on the list!"
The Ning family came prepared today.
She gave a wink to the maid beside her, who shouted, and several strong servants of the Mo family walked into the hall.
They knew that Chunxi had a knife on him and a stick as thick as a baby's arm in his hand, and it was obvious that he was going to use force.
The next moment, all the guards of Wenxinyuan appeared.
These were the people hired by Shen Qingyuan before he left Beijing. There were a total of twenty of them, all of whom were skilled fighters. Their number was even greater than that of the Mo family's servants.
The two sides confronted each other and the atmosphere became tense. Seeing this, Mrs. Mo also pretended to be blind and did not stop it.
Shen Qingyu shouted at the Wenxin Courtyard guards, "Who are you? Who told you to attack the distinguished guests of the Marquis' Mansion? Why don't you retreat?"
Shen Qingyu's tone was fierce, and it was obvious that he was going to side with the Mo family.
At this moment, the doorman suddenly came in a panic and reported: "Madam, someone is coming from the palace!"
Hearing this, Chunxi immediately raised his eyebrows.
Although they didn't know what the visitor from the palace was for, everyone's eyelids subconsciously twitched under the influence of Chunxi, and they couldn't help but look at Shen Qingyu.
To be precise, he was looking at his neck.
Shen Qingyu gritted his teeth. What were these people looking at? Not to mention that it was impossible for Cao Chunxi to make any contribution, even if he did make some insignificant contribution, did she really have the courage to chop off his head?
