Chapter 480 - Chapter 480 Chapter 480 Weird and Eerie

Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Weird and Eerie Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Weird and Eerie “Mother-in-law, did that wretched Xuexue say something nonsensical in front of you? I know, ever since I, as a concubine, entered the house, she has been dissatisfied with me. She even cruelly bit my ear off, yet I never argued with her out of consideration that she is my husband’s daughter. However, she goes to such lengths to treat me like this, everyone knows how important a woman’s reputation is. How could she slander me by saying I have a paramour? She’s practically trying to drive me to death!”

Auntie Sun said, sitting down on the floor with a thump, slapping her thighs and bursting into loud wails.

She was the very image of a shrew.

Old Lady Mo and Old Master Mo exchanged looks, truthfully, they didn’t know who started this mess either.

“Bang!”

Old Master Mo was so vexed by her crying that he felt dizzy and enraged. He slapped the table beside him and glared fiercely, “I think you’re just feeling guilty for your misdeeds. If you’re truly innocent, then why are you howling like a banshee here?”

“Eunuch, can’t a daughter-in-law vent her frustration by crying when she has been falsely accused of something she didn’t do?” Aunt Sun raised her head, her face covered in tears and snot, looking as if she was truly wronged.

Old Lady Mo’s eyes narrowed sinisterly as she spoke with an eerie inflection, “Truth cannot be faked, and lies cannot become truth. This matter will come to light sooner or later. You filthy old maid, you had better behave yourself. If I find out that these things are true, don’t expect to stay in our Mo family.”

“Mother-in-law, it’s a misunderstanding! I really haven’t done anything to betray my husband,” Auntie Sun said pitifully, wiping her tears.

Auntie Sun stubbornly denied having an affair, leaving Old Lady Mo and Old Master Mo at a loss.

After all, they had no solid evidence of the matter.

They had only called her in for questioning after hearing rumors outside.

Just then, Mo Xiaoqiang walked in barefoot.

“Oh my! Qiangqiang, why are you copying those destitute souls and not wearing shoes? Our family isn’t so poor that we can’t afford shoes,” Old Lady Mo stood up from her stool, feigning concern as she watched Mo Xiaoqiang enter without shoes, having been contemplating how to mend their mother-son relationship these days.

Mo Xiaoqiang wasn’t the least bit touched, and without even glancing at Aunt Sun who was crying on the ground, he asked coldly, “Dad, Mom, what did you call me here for?”

Seeing Mo Xiaoqiang’s indifference, Old Lady Mo sulkily returned to her seat.

She was well aware that her eldest son had suddenly become enlightened and was sharply resentful that most of the family’s money was spent on Mo Hengjian. He had been clamoring for a split of the family assets, and since she refused to agree, he harbored grudges against her for being partial.

“This…!”

Old Master Mo suddenly found himself in a tight spot, not knowing how to broach the subject of Aunt Sun’s alleged affair to his son. He couldn’t just bluntly ask, “Son, has your wife been unfaithful and made you a cuckold?”

“You useless old man, you’re of no help at a critical moment. If you don’t speak, I will,” Old Lady Mo snapped at Old Master Mo who was hesitating and awkward. She grabbed the topic and tried to speak as gently as possible to Mo Xiaoqiang, “Qiangqiang, do you know about any misdeeds that wretched concubine, Aunt Sun, has been committing outside?”

Old Lady Mo’s implication was clear to Mo Xiaoqiang. She was asking if he knew about Aunt Sun’s affair.

He felt conflicted, unsure whether or not to speak out. If he did, it would mean admitting his wife was unfaithful, bringing shame upon himself. Yet, if he kept silent, the frustration would be unbearable within him.
