Chapter 50: Mo Xun's Fate
It was early spring ten years ago, and the snow on the mountain they went to had not yet completely melted.
The spring breeze and warm sunshine, the peonies amidst the lingering snow, are a breathtaking sight.
Mo Xun was a rough man. The most elegant phrase he could use to praise a female companion was "more beautiful than a flower." But this peony blooming on the hilltop, unknown to anyone, was more beautiful than any woman he knew.
At that time, the Mo family was at its peak and was rising rapidly. Mo Xun's generation continued the prosperous state of his grandfather's family. As Mo Qianwu's only son, he had to be more outstanding than his cousins in order to stand out.
Therefore, at that time, he would undertake some dangerous missions to win people's hearts and prove himself.
Among his cousins were many who were more outstanding than him, so his pressure was considerable. Women and hunting were his usual ways of relieving stress.
Mo Xun was just turning thirty at that time, which, in a worldly sense, is a man's golden age, and even more so for him.
With his impressive family background, a life of luxury, and beautiful women coming and going around him, he is someone that ordinary people might never even glimpse in their entire lives. In a sense, it is well-deserved for others to compliment him as a "chosen one."
Although he completed that mission with great difficulty, he achieved a very high level of success. After several years of accumulation, it's practically a done deal that he will be the next head of the Mo family.
So this relaxation was also a self-indulgent indulgence.
No one knows what he was thinking when he saw this peony field, but he did stay there for a few more days.
If he wants to stay, his subordinates will naturally have to put in a lot of effort to make him feel comfortable while he stays.
Tent, campfire, food, water, and clothing—everything was provided.
"I remember it was drizzling that day. The rain slowly accumulated on the peony petals and dripped down with the snow. Even rough old men like us were stunned by it."
"Do you know what's even more astonishing?" he asked, keeping everyone in suspense.
"Speak quickly!"
"Hurry up!"
The man chuckled softly, a hint of infatuation in his eyes: "What's even more mesmerizing is a beautiful woman holding an oil-paper umbrella!"
The beautiful woman came to check if the peonies had been affected by the spring rain.
The moment Mo Xun saw the beauty, he revealed the hunting interest of a male. He took the initiative to go up to her and strike up a conversation: "Comrade, we're from the North City. Is this sea of flowers yours?"
The beauty was about to leave after being discovered in the flower field, holding up her umbrella, when Mo Xun stopped her: "It's like this, we came in a hurry and have run out of food and water. Do you think we could go to your house to eat something and drink some water?"
"It's inconvenient." The beauty's voice was soft, with a hint of restraint and wariness, but to Mo Xun it was like the melodious song of a nightingale, captivating his heart and soul.
As the beauty was about to leave after speaking, Mo Xun squinted and sized her up. The beauty was slender, and her clothes, to put it nicely, were simple and elegant, but to put it bluntly, they were shabby. Even the soles of her cloth shoes were worn down. In this kind of weather, and since she was going up a mountain, her shoes and socks were already soaked.
Mo Xun revealed a confident smile: "We'll pay!" he said.
The beautiful woman paused, clearly hesitant.
Mo Xun then said, "Prepare whatever you want for us, and I'll give you ten ten-yuan bills."
"Twenty!"
"Give it to me now." After saying that, Mo Xun took a few steps forward to catch up with no one, pulled out a stack of brand-new ten-yuan notes and handed them to the beauty.
The beauty bit her lip: "There's nothing good to eat at home."
"It's alright, you don't need to be picky when you're traveling, as long as there's something hot to eat." She said this very frankly, and after thinking about it, the beauty accepted the money and led Mo Xun and his group to her home.
Mo Xun looked around the courtyard at the foot of the mountain. It was somewhat dilapidated, but very clean. After looking around, a playful smile appeared on his lips: "You live alone?" It was a question, but he said it with certainty.
There was no trace of men or children in the courtyard. The few pieces of clothing hanging under the eaves were all women's, and they were about the same size as what the beautiful woman was wearing.
"No, my family members went out on business," the beautiful woman said.
Mo Xun chuckled and praised, "That's how you should say it to strangers."
The beautiful woman looked at her in surprise: "I'm telling the truth. They went out on business and will be back soon."
Seeing that Mo Xun didn't seem to care, she didn't say anything more: "I'll make you something to eat." A little food for so much money was well worth it.
She went to check today, and the rain and snow did not affect the blooming of the peonies. In a couple of days, when the rain stops, she and her sister will go up the mountain to pick all the peony stamens. With this money, they will have enough to buy other auxiliary medicines.
With this, all the ingredients for Ningxiang Pills are now complete.
Once Master refines the Fragrance-Condensing Pill, my sister's body will be fully healed, and they can then focus wholeheartedly on learning medicine from Master and practice medicine like her.
Oh, right, when she finishes her apprenticeship, she should also take two girls as her apprentices and pass on her master's medical skills.
With that thought in mind, her hands moved more nimbly.
She wasn't stingy; having received so much money, she brought out all the meat and vegetables she had at home and prepared a table of dishes that would be quite impressive in the countryside.
Who is Mo Xun? Even in this era, he eats and drinks dishes from cuisines that are well-known in later generations. How could he possibly look down on this kind of rural feast?
He gave one of his men a look, and the man immediately started praising the food as he ate, and it looked quite convincing, if only Mo Xun could also pick up his chopsticks.
The beauty didn't pay much attention. After serving the dishes, she cleaned up the pots and stove, poured out the water, and relit the stove.
Mo Xun stood with his arms crossed at the kitchen doorway, watching the beauty busy at work, watching the sweat on her forehead slide down and into her collar. He swallowed hard and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be such a good cook."
"I need a cook at home. Do you want to come with me? I'll pay you a salary."
"You know I'm very generous!"
"No, thank you," the beautiful woman declined with a smile. "I've already saved enough money."
"There's never a time when you can save up enough money?" Mo Xun smiled nonchalantly. "My name is Mo Xun, I'm from Beicheng. What about you?"
The beautiful woman frowned slightly. She didn't really think it was necessary for them to exchange names, but after all, she had received so much money from them. Although it was a cash transaction, she still felt a little guilty. So she said, "My name is Yun Suiyan."
"Suiyan, what a beautiful name." Mo Xun sincerely praised. Most of the women around him were named "Ai Hong Li Juan Yu Lan," and very few had a name as poetic as "Suiyan."
Of course, he couldn't describe the specific mood or feeling, but he just felt that the woman was beautiful, her name was beautiful, and everything about her suited his taste.
He had been single for a long time in preparation for his mission, and it had been a long time since he had met a girl who suited his taste so well.
"Suiyan, I was just lying to you. I don't need a cook at home."
"I actually fell in love with you at first sight and wanted to find a reason to bring you back to Beicheng."
"I'm not going to Beicheng," Yun Suiyan refused. Perhaps she would go in the future, but definitely as a doctor. "I also don't plan to get married."
"Just leave your bowls there when you're done eating. The water's already boiled, so you can wash up." With that, she vacated the kitchen.
In rural areas, people often wash up in the kitchen, especially during the fluctuating temperatures of early spring when the weather is warm.
"Don't go!" Mo Xun blocked the doorway. "Help me scrub my back, and I'll give you more money, as much as you want!"
Yun Suiyan's face darkened: "I'm not that kind of person!"
Mo Xun chuckled: "What kind?" "For sale?" "I didn't think that way. I told you, I fell in love with you at first sight."
"You said you don't want to get married." He took a step closer, and Yun Suiyan took three steps back. Mo Xun didn't care and leaned in slightly, trapping Yun Suiyan between the stove and him. "It's such a pity that you've never tasted the pleasures of love between a man and a woman in your life."
His voice was full of seduction: "It's okay if you don't want to come to Beicheng with me. I'll come to see you often in the future, okay?" After saying that, he grabbed Yun Suiyan's chin and whispered near her lips, "Brother will help you broaden your horizons."
...
The subordinate lowered his voice: "Good heavens, that woman almost crippled Master Mo!"
"And then what happened?"
"Later, of course, Master Mo got what he wanted!" After all, there were so many of them.
The subordinate gave him a knowing look: "But that woman's got some skills. After Master Mo returned to Beicheng, for a long time his body was covered in red spots, scratched raw from head to toe." He lowered his voice even further, "And she wasn't very good in that area either..."
"Only after that did the old man find a family doctor for Master Mo."
However, he initially saw a male doctor, but Mo Xun found it annoying and switched to an experienced female doctor.
Later on, the female doctors became younger and more beautiful, but the turnover rate was also fast.
"This Dr. Liang is really capable; he's been by Master Mo's side the longest."
When his men returned with the food, they saw them chatting animatedly and immediately joined them, unaware that something had gently obstructed his closing of the courtyard gate, preventing it from being fully shut.
Of course, no one noticed that two people wearing masks and carrying cameras were hiding on either side of the courtyard gate.
The men had just opened their lunchboxes when they heard Liang Peilian screaming upstairs. They exchanged glances and immediately ran upstairs.
And the screaming continued.
The sound of the courtyard gate being pushed open was drowned out by screams. The two men with cameras went in tacitly and followed silently behind their subordinates.
Liang Peilian's screams were so shrill that her men, in their frantic search, failed to notice they were being followed immediately, something that had never happened before.
When the men opened the door, they saw Mo Xun lying face up on the bed, his face ashen. His private parts were inflating like a balloon. Liang Peilian, wrapped in the blanket, stared in horror at Mo Xun's private parts, screaming incessantly.
The confidante panicked and forgot that Liang Peilian was a family doctor, shouting, "Quick! Get her to the hospital!"
"Click!" The faint sound of the shutter was drowned out by Liang Peilian's scream again.
As everyone knows, a balloon will burst when it reaches its limit.
Just a second before his confidant was about to wrap Mo Xun in the blanket, his... well, he just exploded!
The scene left even his most confidant, who prided himself on his extensive knowledge, speechless!
"Click!" "Ahhh!" "Click click!" "Ahhh!" Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was stunned, the two, who were still not satisfied with taking pictures, carefully protected their cameras and went downstairs. Then, they ran away from the vicinity of the small white building.
Seeing that the two had left safely, Liang Peilian covered her head and nestled on the edge of the bed, as if she had been scared out of her wits, and stopped screaming.
The confidant was stunned for a long time. He seemed to be thinking of something, and he exchanged a glance with the subordinate who was talking about that romantic affair from ten years ago. Both of them broke out in a cold sweat.
A peony blooming on a mountaintop in early spring, a beauty dwelling alone at the foot of the mountain—it's already strange enough that they appear separately, let alone together. And to make matters worse, Mo Xun even bullied her. Could this be…?
"Quick! Get him to the hospital first!" The confidant's heart was pounding. Mo Xun was probably beyond saving. Even if he was saved, he would be crippled. He was the only heir of the entire Mo family!
He did want to run away, but his family was all in the northern part of the city, living in a house arranged by the Mo family. He used to think it was a blessing, but now he realized it was also a form of manipulation!
He gritted his teeth, tore the sheet to cover Mo Xun, picked him up and rushed downstairs. His men all followed, and no one remembered Liang Peilian huddled on the edge of the bed, trembling.
Looking slightly westward, Shi Yuan was still putting on an act: "Do I need you to let me go? Ha!" She sneered, "Just don't beg me to let you go later!" This was truly a heartfelt and sincere remark, but unfortunately, Takeda Sakura didn't believe her.
"I don't like girls who are stubborn." Sakura Takeda is a mature beauty with striking features. When she smiles, she is naturally charming. But for some reason, Shi Yuan just feels that there is something strange about Sakura Takeda's face.
How to describe it? It's like the kind of face that has been injected with hyaluronic acid and hasn't fully recovered yet. It's beautiful, but it lacks a certain lively charm and has a bit of an artificial look.
However, the concept of cosmetic surgery didn't exist in that era, so the unnatural appearance on Sakura Takeda's face must have another reason, or rather, that's why she asked Toki for help.
Shi Yuan wondered if there had ever been a girl like her who had been "invited" to "help" before?
If so, where are they? Are they still alive?
Therefore, even though she could easily break free of the vines, she only ever showed off her verbal prowess.
She now understands what "nothing ventured, nothing gained" means; using "tiger's den" to describe this place is an understatement for these two Japanese women!
As Shi Yuan spoke, she heard screams and the roar of an engine, sounds that only come from flooring the gas pedal. It seemed to be nearby, but she didn't pay much attention to it.
Sakura Takeda, standing opposite her, also heard it, and even recognized that the sound was coming from diagonally opposite, from there...
In the past, she would have gone to check on it herself, but today she had more important matters to attend to, so she only sent one person.
"Come with me, the favor I need from you is very simple."
"I'm not going!"
Sakura Takeda looked at Shi Yuan's face with great tolerance and said in a gentle tone, "You and I are both summoners, or rather, in your Flower Kingdom, we're called sorcerers. We both use exotic plants for our own purposes." She laid out the bait, "You can see that my vines completely suppress yours."
Shi Meili: ...Ha! If I wasn't afraid of ruining Shi Yuan's plans, I would have shown you right here and now who's in charge!
Sakura Takeda continued to bait the issue: "Once you've helped me, I'll find a way to make your alien plant even stronger." She was sincere and not lying; she would indeed find a way to make Shi Yuan's alien plant stronger, because at that time, the alien plant would belong to her!
"real?"
"real!"
"Alright, let's go!"
Seeing that Shi Yuan had taken the bait, Takeda Sakura withdrew the vines binding Shi Yuan to show that she meant no harm. Shi Yuan raised an eyebrow, made no comment, and of course did not cause any more trouble, and followed Takeda Sakura upstairs.
However, just as she stepped onto the stairs with her left foot, the person who had been sent out to check the situation came in to report.
"Madam, that family has all left. I asked around next door, and they said that something happened over there when they were doing that kind of thing in broad daylight. They said the man couldn't keep up."
Shi Yuan: ...You should be more specific about which one doesn't work!
"What? What did you say!" Upon hearing this, Sakura Takeda became very agitated, and her face twitched unnaturally.
Shi Yuan looked away, and it turned out that even the most beautiful person is ugly if they have a crooked mouth and slanted eyes.
Sakura glanced at Shiyuan. She had finally managed to catch a fish. If she locked him up, he would probably cause a ruckus. But if she treated him like an honored guest, she was worried that Shiyuan might leave without a care in the world.
She wasn't sure if the people who stayed behind could control her.
But she was really worried about Mo Xun; the commotion just now suggested that something serious must have happened.
She quickly made a decision and said to Shi Yuan, "I have to go out for a while. Why don't you come with me?"
"Want to go see that impotent man?" Shi Yuan expressed interest and said she could go with him.
Huan Ni and Ran Wen were also excited and looking forward to following Shi Yuan to the front line of gossip.
I don't know which man was so vigorous, messing around in broad daylight and even making himself unable to function.
Whether human or demon, they should travel around. Huan Ni thought to herself, if she and Shi Yuan had stayed in Qinglin Bay, they would have only caught each other cheating and torn each other apart. Where would they have seen such a powerful person who had done so much to them and caused such a commotion?
Soon, Huan Ni will gain another wave of knowledge.
When Shi Yuan got into the car, she inadvertently glanced at a few letters scattered on the back seat. That was nothing, it was a private car after all. What was special was that the red maple leaf mark in the lower right corner of the envelope was exactly the same as the clan crest of the Takeda family drawn by Takeda Raku!
Therefore, this Japanese woman is a member of the Takeda family!
Wait a minute, what a coincidence!
Shi Yuan subconsciously touched her hair on the right side, and Huan Ni, who was wearing a hair clip on the right side, was also shocked.
It is known that the Takeda family and the Mo family have secret connections.
It is also known that Mo Xun was poisoned by a compound poison, which is quite insidious. According to Ran Wen's later explanation, Mo Xun's fate was something like a "last gasp before death," you know?
Mo Xun's... well, he'll also have a "reflection" once. If he's celibate or lucky enough not to find a woman, then at least he can leave this world with dignity.
But both Shi Yuanhuanni and Ran Wen felt that the person who poisoned Mo Xun would not let him die a good death.
Here's another piece of information that's not entirely certain: Gu Linyuan told them a rumor that back then, Old Master Mo was so audacious as to seize the opportunity from the strange demon because he had something to rely on.
This support likely comes from the original wife of Mr. Mo, who has been rumored to be recuperating in his hometown.
The word "rely on" is used quite well. Shi Yuan looked at Takeda Sakura, who had a tense expression.
If this summoner were present, Old Master Mo would indeed have some "reliance" in seizing the opportunity to fight the alien demon!
At this moment, Shi Yuanhuanni and Ran Wen were thinking in unison: Could this Japanese woman be the elusive first wife of Old Master Mo, and the birth mother of Mo Xun?
Could it be that Mu Xun himself was the one who indulged in debauchery to the point of exhaustion during the day?
If that's the case, then the person who poisoned them must be one of the people Mo Xun brought to Haicheng.
Wow, brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!
I wonder what's wrong with Mo Xun now? Ran Wen said that if the person who poisoned him was ruthless, Mo Xun would have to be a eunuch for several lifetimes!
To this, Shi Yuan and the others could only say: Serves them right!
Although Gu Linyuan and He Tian did not say it explicitly, they implied that the women involved in Mo Xun's romantic affairs were not necessarily voluntary. It was just that the Mo family handled things well, and if the women were to show their faces, they would either appease them or use means to prevent them from doing so.
Therefore, Mo Xun's image in the circle is that of a playboy who can flirt with a thousand women without getting attached to them, but in reality, he is a promiscuous scumbag!
Suddenly, Shi Yuan and the other two were looking forward to what they would see next. If it really was Mo Xun, the person who poisoned him would definitely not just let him die.
According to Ran Wen's deduction, someone who can create such a complex and subtle compound poison wouldn't have much trouble giving Mo Xun a deadly poison.
That person might want more than just Mo Xun's life!
However, none of this concerns them; they are now just the badger in the melon patch!
"Drive faster!" Sakura urged, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.
The car sped along the road, and fortunately, there was only one large hospital nearby. They quickly found Mo Xun's men. The confidant was initially very wary of them, but as soon as Takeda Anko showed him the token engraved with the clan emblem, the confidant immediately bowed and scraped before them.
Huan Ni: Wow, it really is Mo Xun!
These people are all Mo Xun's lackeys!
Shi Yuan was a little worried about being recognized, after all, she was not an unknown person in Beicheng. She brushed her bangs aside a few times, which was better than nothing to cover her face.
But her worries were obviously unnecessary. Those people didn't even glance at her. Most of them were anxiously looking at the emergency room. A few of them, who were not in a good mood, had already collapsed to the ground with their heads buried in their knees, lost in thought.
"What happened?" Sakura Takeda asked.
His trusted aide was completely at a loss, but this Takeda Sakura was clearly capable of taking charge. He recounted the events in a tearful voice.
When he talked about how something exploded like a balloon with a "boom," he trembled with excitement.
That's ruthless, absolutely ruthless!
Shi Yuan was also dumbfounded. No wonder Ran Wen said that Mo Xun might be a eunuch for several lifetimes to come.
That's for sure!
Takeda Sakura's sharp eyes swept over her confidante, and she immediately asked the key figure in the incident: "Where is that family doctor, that bitch?"
The confidant said, "Dr. Liang was terrified and kept screaming. That's why I was worried about Master Mo and brought him to the hospital first."
Sakura glanced at Yasuko Takeda, who, having toned down her Japanese demeanor in public, nodded solemnly and quickly left.
Judging from her appearance, she must have gone to arrest the Dr. Liang they were talking about.
Shi Yuan touched her left temple, and a yellow butterfly fluttered out of the hospital.
Shortly after, the emergency room lights went out, and a doctor wearing a mask came out and said two words: "Please accept my condolences."
Shi Yuan saw the medical staff passing by exchanging glances, their eyes filled with amazement, probably because they had never seen such a sensational case in all their years of medical practice.
Sakura Takeda felt dizzy: "How is this possible? He's so young, how could this be?"
Huan Ni: ...I'm almost fifty, not young anymore, but then again, at this age, I'm actually quite young.
Wait a minute! Something's off about Takeda Sakura's tone and manner of speaking. Why does she look more like Mo Xun's elder?
She looks like she's only in her early thirties.
Huan Ni twitched behind Shi Yuan's ear. Shi Yuan looked at Wu Tianying and saw that the other party was pale, her eyes were panicked, and her lips were almost bitten until they bled. She no longer had the charming and graceful demeanor and the confident and composed look she had when they first met.
It seems she guessed correctly; Takeda Sakura is very likely to be Mo Xun's biological mother, Mo Laoye's first wife who has never appeared before.
As for her youthful appearance, even more so than Mo Xun's, it's probably because she was so eager to get Shi Yuan's help.
"Madam." The subordinate reached out and gently helped Takeda Sakura sit down.
Shi Yuan could tell that her subordinates were all afraid of her, which suggested that Takeda Sakura was quite skilled at managing them.
But this has nothing to do with her.
Of all the dominoes in the Mo family, the most crucial one, Mo Xun, has already fallen. I believe Gu Linyuan would be very interested in giving it a push and seeing the domino effect of the Mo family.
Shi Yuan watched as Wu Tianying tried her best to suppress her pain and whispered a few instructions to her subordinates. She thought that she was probably going to pass the message to the Mo family.
She touched the black butterfly hair clip, mouthed "Gu," and glanced discreetly at the subordinate sent to deliver the message. The black butterfly flapped its wings and followed.
Unaware that she was still immersed in her grief, Takeda Sakura had woven an illusion for her subordinate, hindering his progress. Meanwhile, she quickly found Gu Linyuan and told him about Mo Xun's situation.
We can't let Grandpa Mo arrive so soon, otherwise, we'll miss out on the excitement.
Gu Linyuan pondered for a moment and then asked Huan Ni to deliver a message to Shi Yuan, containing only four words: "Go with the flow!"
It seems that Gu Linyuan has great faith in the poisoner and is certain that she has a backup plan. Shi Yuan is also looking forward to it.
She had no direct conflict with the Mo family, but she hated Japanese people. Takeda Sakura, that Japanese woman, even wanted to kill her for profit. Shi Yuan didn't know what she could gain, but it would definitely be by stepping on her corpse. That made them mortal enemies.
Moreover, Sakura Takeda was very adept at deceiving her, so it must not be the first time she had done such a despicable thing. She should not find out that she has been deceiving only women from the Flower Country!
The enemy's relatives are the enemy, so the Mo family is her enemy. It's not unreasonable for her to stir up trouble, is it?
When Mo Xun was wheeled out, Sakura Takeda's emotions had stabilized somewhat. She trembled as she lifted the white cloth, taking several deep breaths to prevent herself from breaking down.
Shi Yuan squinted at Takeda Sakura, whose eyes were filled with pain, and thought coldly: Has she ever thought about whether the families of the girls she tricked were also suffering terribly because of their disappearance?
And what about all the girls who were harmed by Mo Xun? How many families did he ruin!
Shi Yuan was unaware that what she knew about the evil of the Mo family and Takeda Sakura was only the tip of the iceberg.
The next day, several photos were thrown into the courtyard of every small white building in Jing'an District, Haicheng. Well, the photos were so bad that even if they were blurred out in later years, they would be subject to traffic restrictions.
This morning, the entire Jing'an District was unusually quiet. Beneath the surface of this quietness, neighbors who had previously rarely interacted were now engaged in a fierce and unspoken battle of wits.
People who live in Xiaobailou in Jing'an District may not have many connections in the northern part of the city, but they definitely have their own network in Haicheng. They know who the people in the photos are.
At this point, it no longer matters who the woman in the photo, with her bare shoulders and a small part of her chin, is; what matters is that this woman is not Mo Xun's first wife.
Because they all had accurate information channels, Mo Xun's first wife was always in Beicheng, and she was at work around the same time Mo Xun had the accident yesterday!
In any era, the death of a powerful man, once linked to a scandalous affair, will inevitably become the focus of everyone's attention.
Mo Xun's news spread rapidly from Jing'an District outwards.
Sakura Takeda tried to stop them several times, but was stopped by a force.
Needless to say, it was Gu Linyuan who stopped her.
She came to the Flower Kingdom in secret, not only with a small group of people, but also because she couldn't reveal her relationship with Mo Xun and his son.
Once their relationship is exposed, disgrace and ruin will be the best outcome for Mo Qianwu and his son!
Shi Yuan held a cup of black tea, smelled the aroma, leaned against the window, and watched Takeda Sakura's silent breakdown.
In the past few days, Sakura Takeda has aged and weakened at an extremely rapid pace. Shi Yuan could feel Sakura's disgusting gaze clinging to her, but to her surprise, Sakura Takeda did not make a move against her.
However, Shi Yuan has been behaving very well these past few days. Takeda Sakura isn't keeping such a close eye on her anymore, and she's been feeding and treating her well. To be honest, Shi Yuan is doing quite well.
In contrast to her was Takeda Yasuko. When she went to capture Liang Peilian, she was blocked by a masked woman, and Liang Peilian took the opportunity to escape.
Sakura Takeda personally whipped her with vines until she was nearly dead, especially after Anko Takeda said, "Mom, you may lose your brother, but you still have me. I will always be with you." She beat her even harder.
Shi Yuan watched her lips move silently, and read out a few words: "You don't deserve it!"
Tsk! I wonder what kind of tumultuous and passionate love story unfolded during Yasuko Takeda's birth!
However, Shi Yuan didn't care. She just waited until the dead of night to sneak into the Little White Building and explore the secrets of this den of thieves.
Huan Ni and Ran Wen have returned. After Huan Ni brought Gu Linyuan's message, she has been circling over the entire Jing'an District from time to time.
At first, she brought news related to Mo Xun, but later she brought more, including but not limited to the fact that the male head of this family was a two-faced person, that the female head of that family preferred muscular men, and even which family in the Little White Building had a dog that liked to eat poop.
I hope you will really thank me!
But at the same time, she also learned a lot of information, and she couldn't help but sigh that if Huan Ni were in the future, she would definitely be the best paparazzi!
Ran Wen's message was much more targeted. When she mentioned Liang Peilian, she looked at her with admiration: "Ruthless and decisive."
Liang Peilian's task now is simple: spread the news of Mo Xun's death as widely as possible, to the point that even Old Master Mo, who has rushed here day and night after receiving the news, cannot immediately suppress it.
Because Ran Wen saved Liang Peilian from Takeda Sakurako, she would occasionally confide a few words of truth to Ran Wen.
"She will take those photos north when Mo Qianwu arrives in Haicheng." The intention is clear: to use Mo Xun's scandal in Haicheng to stop Mo Qianwu from returning to Beicheng, and then use a method similar to that of Xiaobailou to make Mo Xun "famous" in Beicheng!
Shi Yuan put down her teacup: "Is she courting death?" The Mo family's stronghold is in Beicheng. If Liang Peilian withdraws at this time, she and Gu Linyuan will clean up the mess for her.
In this era of limited communication, even if the Mo family had extraordinary abilities, with her and Gu Linyuan's help, Liang Peilian might not be able to escape the Mo family's search. Moreover, after this battle, the Mo family was severely weakened, and its decline, like the Wu family, was almost a foregone conclusion.
“She didn’t need to risk her life,” Shi Yuan said.
Ran Wen shook her head: "I think she's prepared to risk her life."
"I asked her why she hated Mo Xun and the Mo family so much, but she didn't say. However, the fact that she hated them to the point of using herself as bait and risking her life suggests that it wasn't just about Mo Xun's romantic affairs."
Shi Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Mo Qianwu will definitely not let this go after losing his only son. I don't think any of Mo Xun's men will get away with it."
"In that case, after they've suffered, you can find an opportunity to get them out. They should know a lot of things that we don't."
Perhaps those messages contain the reason why Liang Peilian harbors such deep resentment.
Huan Ni's eyes sparkled; she loved eating whole melons!
Shi Yuan chuckled and patted her head: "Let's see if we can lend her a hand." The revenge has been taken, so let's live well now.
"Let's go see what secrets this little white building is hiding."
