Chapter 1056: Chapter 1056: Too Thick-Skinned

Mo Xiuzhi, after all, was an unwed maiden, her face flushing crimson with shame in front of everyone, she demurely said in a low voice, "It happened these past few days."

Thinking about the matter, Mo Xiuzhi couldn’t help feeling a bit smug. If the General hadn’t been drunk, she wouldn’t have succeeded. In his haze, he even mistook her for Xuexue’s mother.

"Aiya! You shameless girl, have you no decency?" Madam Ruan was somewhat disappointed, pinching Mo Xiuzhi’s arm tightly.

"Ah...! It hurts... Mama, can you be gentler please?"

Mo Xiuzhi wriggled free from Madam Ruan’s grip and, nursing her reddened arm, said with a face full of grievance.

Her delicate and tender skin, if it were to get hurt, what if the General ends up not liking her—what then!

"You still know pain? Do you realize you’re still a maiden? Jumping into a man’s bed so quickly, who would want you in the future? What will you do with the rest of your life? Wahhh...!" The more Madam Ruan thought about it, the more sorrowful she became, and she couldn’t help but burst into tears.

Originally, the trip to the Capital was to seek a bright future for her son, but before anything could be accomplished, her daughter’s purity was compromised. Truly, it was a great loss.

Mo Xiuzhi, irritated by the noise, said: "Mama, why are you crying? My union with the General is a matter of great joy—you should be happy, not crying! Really, it’s exasperating."

"You... you... you impudent girl, have you no sense of propriety, righteousness, integrity, or honor? Not yet having received the engagement documents, you dared to climb into a man’s bed."

"It’s just the engagement documents. I’ll have the General issue them tomorrow," Mo Xiuzhi said confidently, her tone exceedingly affectionate when speaking of the General.

Indeed, this morning she had just left the General’s chamber, and last night, he had tormented her the entire night, her waist still ached a bit! Therefore, she wasn’t worried at all that the General wouldn’t want her.

Looking at Mo Xiuzhi’s composure, Xuexue sneered in her heart. Dreaming of becoming father’s concubine—she’d have to wait until her next life with Xuexue around. As long as she was there, Mo Xiuzhi’s aspirations to take that position would be in vain.

Xuexue: "Mo Xiuzhi, I hereby formally notify you, stop coveting my father. He will never take you as a concubine. If you wish to follow him without status or recognition, that is possible."

Mo Xiuzhi glared fiercely at Xuexue and asked, "Are you trying to ruin my plans?"

"Even if I don’t, this affair is doomed to fail."

"Situ Xuexue, I warn you, if you ruin my plans, I’ll hang myself at the entrance of the General’s Mansion, ensuring your family will never know peace." She had risked her all, the stakes were high, and she couldn’t allow this little cheap person to ruin things.

Great Granny Mo finally understood the situation. It turned out Mo Xiuzhi had gone out to secure a powerful connection, and indeed, she had caught the eye of the great General. What a stroke of fortune, such a wondrous occasion.

Even if the deal with Auntie Tang wasn’t successful, with Mo Xiuzhi as their support, riches and honor would be easily within reach.

Great Granny Mo’s heart swelled with joy, she almost laughed out loud.

"Suit yourself! Anyway, I’ve relayed the message. Believe it or not, that’s up to you."

Xuexue stood up, ready to leave.

Old Lady Mo hurriedly grabbed her, showing uncharacteristic kindness: "Xuexue, no matter what, you and Xiuzhi are sisters. It wouldn’t be right to just watch her fall into a quagmire without lending a hand."

She knew it, Great Granny Mo holding onto her meant nothing good—it’s indeed to plead for Mo Xiuzhi.

Plainly speaking, the chauvinistic Great Granny Mo, offering to intercede for Mo Xiuzhi, was also to secure a fallback option for Mo Hengjian. Xuexue saw right through the old lady’s intentions.
