Chapter 965: Chapter 965: Sorrow Arises from Within

"When has this Old Maid ever lied? That little cheap person, Xuexue, used to keep her head down as a servant in our Mo family, didn’t she? Now look at her, soaring to the skies, becoming a Miss of the Wealthy Family in the General’s Mansion, and she has forgotten all about us, her grandparents who raised her through all the hardships. She’s truly an ungrateful cunning person."

Old Lady Mo was furious, ranting at length with her aged mouth, and Old Master Mo couldn’t even stop her in time.

This old hag still thought she was in Mo Family Village, not thinking before she spoke. At this rate, the Mo family would sooner or later be ruined by her.

Zi Xia’s face turned darker and darker, realizing that this was the kind of life the young lady used to lead.

So, without any politeness, she stepped forward, swung her hand, and fiercely slapped Old Lady Mo’s face...

"Smack!"

The crisp sound of the slap echoed.

The people of the Mo family were all stunned.

A Maid from the General’s Mansion dared to slap Old Lady Mo under everyone’s watchful eyes?

"Ah!"

Old Lady Mo touched her cheek with her hand, her eyes widened in disbelief, and stared at Zi Xia: "You, you damned servant, how dare you hit me?"

"Slapping you is letting you off lightly. If you don’t clean up your mouth, and dare to slander the Miss, what’s to stop me from killing you?" Zi Xia looked fearless.

"You are just a servant, on what ground do you hit me? I am Xuexue’s grandmother."

"Do you even deserve it? Humph!"

"No matter if she acknowledges us or not, our Mo family is her benefactor. If she dares to disown us, she’s an ungrateful, ruthless cunning person and will be vilified by the world." Old Lady Mo, feeling the searing pain on her cheek, was extremely angry. Plus, they had traveled all night, and now they were tired, hungry, and sleepy.

Hearing this, Zi Xia narrowed her eyes into slits, staring sharply at Old Lady Mo, wondering if these weren’t the words of a simple country old lady. Could it be that someone was manipulating them to come to the General’s Mansion today?

Zi Xia had been in the General’s Mansion for a few years and understood a bit of the intricate workings of large households. She caught a hint of ulterior motive from Old Lady Mo’s words.

Zi Xia was no ordinary Maid; she used to be a Female Knight-Errant of the Itinerant World. The slap she delivered was full of force, quickly leaving five finger marks on the old lady’s face.

"Old man, look, this wretched girl has hit me like this, and you don’t even try to help me." Old Lady Mo covered the swollen half of her face, wailing to Old Master Mo like a slaughtered pig.

Old Master Mo showed impatience: "You had it coming. You don’t have any sense of propriety, not realizing where you are and just blabbering away, not afraid of making a fool of yourself for all to see."

Originally, he had been elated for a long time when he heard from Old Lady Mo that a noble from the Capital invited them to go to the Capital to find Xuexue and live in luxury, not for any other reason but for the future prospects of his grandson.

Who knew that as soon as they reached the Capital, without even entering the General’s Mansion, Old Lady Mo started causing a commotion. If she annoyed Great General Situ, whether they would even be allowed to live in the General’s Mansion was up in the air!

Old Lady Mo used to be the queen of the household, always having the final say. Now being scolded by Old Master Mo in front of everyone, she felt like she couldn’t preserve her dignity, and instantly started a ruckus: "You old coot, you’re in cahoots with that little cheap person, Xuexue; both of you are bullying me, wah wah wah...!" Old Lady Mo, struck by grief, simply sat on the ground and began to weep uncontrollably.

Zi Xia, seeing that the noise and disturbance were going nowhere and would ultimately tarnish the reputation of the young lady, stepped forward...
