Chapter 1093: Chapter 349: The Puppet Master, Curtain Falls_2

Xiao Ruiyuan gave a slight nod and said softly, "It’s best to eliminate such vicious-minded people completely. If you encounter someone like this again and you don’t have the heart to do it yourself, you can tell me."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yan felt somewhat disheartened. She admitted she was not a ruthless person; since arriving in this world, she had rarely taken the lives of those harboring sinister intentions directly.

Like Mo Yonglu, who was banished thousands of miles away and now it’s unknown whether he’s dead or alive; like the Zhang Family in the beginning, now locked up in the dungeons, with no idea if they would ever see the light of day again; like Mo Yongxi, disgraced and suffering untold miseries in the mines; and even Mrs. Hong, who, though she was paralyzed in bed and barely alive, not directly by her actions, still had an indirect connection to her...

In her previous life, her hands were clean, unstained by blood. Even if someone intended harm to her, her family would take care of it without a trace. In this life, she also did not wish to have blood on her hands, so she would rather go through some trouble to ensure that these people received their due punishment, rather than truly kill anyone.

This time, Wang Cai had crossed her line by harming her family, which led her to intent to kill, disregarding the fact that he was only fifteen, a middle-schooler in her past life.

In fact, in Great Chu, it was common for fifteen-year-olds to marry, and if a twelve-year-old committed murder or arson, the government would sentence them to death regardless of whether they were children or not.

Mo Yan couldn’t help but reflect if she had been more forceful from the beginning, perhaps she could have deterred petty people like the Wang Family, and today’s events wouldn’t have happened, which led Xiao Ruiyuan to consider intervening on her behalf with the evil-doers.

She took a deep breath and smiled, "Don’t worry, if I meet such people again, I won’t be soft-hearted."

Xiao Ruiyuan didn’t really believe a woman could get used to this, but he didn’t show it, "As long as you think so." He would always protect her in the future; why trouble her to do things she disliked, to let her hands be stained with blood, which he also couldn’t bear.

Mo Yan didn’t want to dwell on this issue and turned the topic to Mo Erni, "By blood, she is related to my family, but the two families cut ties years ago. For some reason, she has always harbored hostility towards my family. I didn’t expect that this time she would use Wang Cai to target my family, nearly killing Zhenzhen."

At this point, Mo Yan’s hatred towards Mo Erni reached its peak; she truly couldn’t understand why Mo Erni would do such a thing when there was no deep hatred between them.

Xiao Ruiyuan scoffed, "Such a person has a narrow mind and can’t bear to see others do better than her. Jealousy often turns a normal person into a madman."

After Mo Erni was captured, because of her surname being the same as the Mo Family, Xiao Ruiyuan personally interrogated her. Although Mo Erni didn’t disclose the motive behind her attempt on Zhenzhen’s life, every time Mo Yan or the Mo Family was mentioned, her eyes would burst with startling jealousy and resentment, leading Xiao Ruiyuan to make a rough guess, thus he spoke those words.

Mo Yan thought it over and felt that jealousy might be the only explanation that made sense. However, the real catalyst was probably her refusal to help Mo Erni leave the brothel, which caused Mo Erni to completely despise her, to despise her entire family, and so she concocted every possible scheme to avenge herself against them.

"I can’t believe it’s for this reason! She had the chance to leave the brothel, which was already her good fortune. Yet, the first thing she did upon leaving was to seek revenge against my family. Such a person really is..." At this point, Mo Yan didn’t know how else to describe her.

Beforehand, Mo Erni had recognized Manager Song as her godfather. Although Manager Song was implicated due to the Lin Family’s influence, he was unrelated to the Lin Family’s antics and was released after being detained for a while.

The first thing Manager Song did after being released was to inquire everywhere about the whereabouts of his goddaughter, Mo Erni. Unexpectedly, he found out about her some time ago. He spent most of his savings to get Mo Erni out of the brothel, planning to take her away from Jing City to start anew. However, before leaving, Mo Erni wanted to settle scores with the Mo Family, so she teamed up with Wang Cai, who had a grudge against the Mo Family.

Wang Cai was young but bolder than most kids, and he harbored resentment against the Mo Family. Mo Erni also promised him fifty taels of silver as a reward after their plan succeeded. Wang Cai had never even touched two silvers in his life, much less fifty.
