Chapter 968: Chapter 968: Shocking Words Never Rest (Happy New Year)

Shortly after, a few maids accompanied a lady dressed in elegant and luxurious attire as she walked out.

Beside her stood one of the maids who had just gone in to announce the visitor.

She stepped forward and said to Old Lady Mo, "Old madam, if you have anything, just talk to our madam, she will make decisions for you."

However, the maid who said she was going to announce Miss had called out Auntie Tang instead.

Lady Tang, who used to frequently attend banquets of nobility’s madams and misses, was recognized by many in the Capital. Therefore, as soon as she appeared, everyone immediately focused their attention, curious about how Lady Tang would handle these people before her.

At the gate causing trouble was a family of six, besides one young man, the others were dressed plainly and it was clear to any discerning eye that they were from the countryside.

Old Lady Mo was shrewd; seeing the maid standing next to the noblewoman and continuously exchanging glances with her, she immediately understood that this noblewoman was the one she was summoned to the Capital to deal with Xuexue.

One thousand taels of gold!

It represented a fortune that could secure a worry-free life for her latter years and, along with her grandson’s prospects, would bring glory to the Mo family. Old Lady Mo looked at Lady Tang almost as if she were looking at a reincarnation of Bodhisattva Guanyin, her triangular eyes brightening with excitement. However, she soon remembered her mission. For the sake of that immense wealth, she steeled her heart and, hiding her hand under her skirt, pinched her thigh ferociously...

"Ouch! Madam! This poor old maid is truly suffering. My granddaughter, whom I raised single-handedly with great hardship, has now soared high on the branches and become a phoenix, yet forgets us, her benefactors. It’s utterly devoid of conscience. Madam! You must decide for us!"

As Old Lady Mo reminisced about the one thousand taels of gold and her grandson’s prospects, her wailing grew more vigorous. Having pinched herself too harshly, she started to tear up, which made her appear even more convincingly distressed.

Upon seeing this, the spectators around immediately began to murmur amongst themselves...

"One would not expect Miss Situ to be such a person."

"Indeed, at first, when Second Miss said the Miss was ferocious, often riding a big tiger to commit violence and even ate a maid, we didn’t believe it. Now that even her own grandmother has come forward to confirm it, it must be true."

"Alas! Miss Situ is incredibly beautiful, one would not expect her to be such a person behind the scenes. Now it seems, compared to Second Miss, she is worlds apart, incomparable."

"Tsk! You should think about it, Second Miss grew up in the Capital, acquainted with the Three Obediences and Four Virtues and all sorts of etiquette from a young age. Miss is different, grown in the countryside, facing pigs and cows every day, even meals were a challenge, she surely doesn’t understand filial piety, it’s not surprising at all."

The crowd buzzed with discussions.

Although they spoke in hushed tones, Lady Tang could hear everything clearly.

The corner of her mouth revealed a barely noticeable smile; it seemed that bringing this group of country bumpkins to the Capital was the right move.

"Old madam, don’t be sad. The young miss is still young and unaware of her mistakes; old madam, please point them out so the General can discipline her properly. Afterwards, she will surely change for the better and show you respect," Lady Tang said warmly as she approached Old Lady Mo with a smile.

"She’s not that young anymore, she’s of age now! That little cheap wretch, shameless, is already messing around with her fiancé before they’re married."

Old Lady Mo, relentless, added another line, "This poor old woman is not falsely accusing that little cheap person; this matter is no secret in Mo Family Village, the entire village knows."

"Wow...!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd burst into a commotion.
