Chapter 773: Chapter 773 Mystery of Birth (2)_1

Words weighed heavily as they struck Mrs. Du, causing her to stagger back repeatedly, her complexion pale as a ghost, the impact obviously severe: "It’s not like that, it’s not like that... Mother is not wrong, mother was forced, mother didn’t mean to abandon you, no..."

Mo Yan sighed quietly; her expression remained cold: "Whether it’s true or not doesn’t matter anymore, there’s no point in quibbling over who’s right and who’s wrong! Go back to where you came from, and from now on... take care of yourself!"

Having said that, Mo Yan turned to head back; otherwise, if she stayed out too long, her father might worry and come looking for her.

"No, Yanyan, you can’t go, you can’t go..." Seeing Mo Yan leaving, Mrs. Du snapped out of her trance and hurried to block Mo Yan’s path: "Yanyan, mother has things to tell you, you can’t go."

Mo Yan frowned slightly, a bad feeling crossing her mind, but to avoid endless entanglement with Mrs. Du, she resisted the urge to turn and leave at once.

"Speak!"

Mrs. Du dared not ponder further on Mo Yan’s attitude, but the matter she needed to talk about was somewhat difficult for her to articulate.

Seeing this, Mo Yan turned to leave.

"Yanyan, don’t leave!" Mrs. Du clenched Mo Yan’s sleeve tightly, closing her eyes as she voiced her desperate plea: "Save Brother Jie, mother begs you to save Brother Jie!"

After hearing this, Mo Yan’s face instantly darkened. The snowflakes which had previously ceased began to fall again, one landing gently on her long eyelashes, cold and icy, yet not as cold as her frozen heart.

In the snowy weather, not a single villager was seen moving about, not even the birds that were unafraid of the cold could be found, the air seemed to solidify, with only the soft rustling sound of snowflakes hitting the ground.

Having received no reply from Mo Yan for a long time, Mrs. Du forced herself to open her eyes and met a pair of bright, clear, yet utterly emotionless black pupils. Any sliver of hope she harbored was thoroughly extinguished by those black eyes.

"You want me to save Chen Ji? To save the enemy who sought to kill my family?" Mo Yan’s lips quirked in a mocking smile, looking at Mrs. Du as if she had heard the world’s funniest joke: "Mrs. Du, you are frighteningly naive!"

"To hurt your family? No, no, that’s impossible, Brother Jie would never do such a thing!" Mrs. Du sensitively clung to those words, unwilling to believe they were true: "Brother Jie recently sent someone to Mo Family Village to inquire about the whereabouts of you three siblings, he cares about you. How could he kill you? Yanyan, there must be a mistake, it must be."

Mo Yan sneered: "Whether you believe it or not is up to you, but Chen Ji must die. Don’t even dream that I will save him!" With that, she shook off Mrs. Du’s hand fiercely and turned to leave.

"No! Yanyan, save him, mother begs you to save him!" Mrs. Du fell to her knees in the snow with a thud, disregarding the bone-chilling wet cold, and clung to Mo Yan’s legs: "Please, mother begs you, as long as you agree to save him, mother is willing to do anything, even if it means a life for a life, mother has no complaints just as long as you agree to save him, just as long as you agree!"

Caught off guard by Mrs. Du’s actions, Mo Yan instinctively stepped back, but Mrs. Du clasped her legs tightly. Knowing her own strength, if she were to forcefully break free, she would inevitably hurt Mrs. Du, and that would only make matters worse.

"What are you doing, get up, get up right now!" Mo Yan, panic-stricken, quickly crouched down, trying to pry Mrs. Du’s arms to lift her up. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Du’s arms became unnaturally strong, and for a moment, Mo Yan couldn’t pull away.

Mo Yan was extremely annoyed and blurted out harshly: "Your kneeling is useless; Chen Ji poisoned the Empress Dowager. It wouldn’t be excessive to execute his entire clan. Even if you break your legs kneeling, it’s impossible for me to save him, I can’t save him!"
