Chapter 973: Chapter 973 Overgrown Weeds (Happy New Year)

The members of the Mo family looked up at once...

They saw before them a decrepit courtyard, overgrown with weeds, obviously long uninhabited.

Who could have imagined that even within the luxurious General’s Mansion there could be such a rundown courtyard? The members of the Mo family were stunned.

This courtyard was even more dilapidated than the houses in their Mo Family Village.

"Miss, could there be some mistake? This place is so run-down, how are we supposed to live here?" Mo Daoyan expressed his alarm. The excitement he had felt until a moment ago had plummeted after seeing this building. There were so many lavish courtyards they passed along the way, and yet the maid specifically arranged for them to stay here. Is this really Xuexue’s doing, or is the maid acting on her own accord?

"A little tidying up and it should be livable," Zi Xia was clearly intent on giving them a hard time on behalf of the young mistress.

Mo Daoyan frowned and strode up to the main gate, reaching out to shake it...

"Boom!"

The gate, already teetering on the brink of collapse, was lightly shaken by Mo Daoyan, instantly sending up a loud crash and a great cloud of dust.

"Cough cough..."

The members of the Mo family got quite a scare, all of them stepping back while covering their mouths and noses.

"Miss, as you can see, this dilapidated house—how are we supposed to live in it?" Mo Daoyan took the opportunity while covering his mouth and nose to appeal to Zi Xia, hoping she would show mercy and relocate them to another courtyard.

"It’s okay. Wait a little, and let the servants fix the gate. It’s still livable inside," Zi Xia remained unmoved nonetheless.

"With so many courtyards in the residence, why make us stay here?"

"There are many masters in the mansion, and every courtyard is already fully occupied. If you don’t wish to stay here, you can only go and stay in an inn outside," Zi Xia was keen on getting them out of the General’s Mansion, so that the young mistress wouldn’t be annoyed by seeing them.

Zi Xia disdained the people of the Mo family; they had abused Xuexue before. Moreover, they were now suspected of conspiring with Concubine Tang to harm the young mistress, naturally, she did not wish to make things easy for them.

Old Lady Mo was very annoyed inside, but having been slapped by Zi Xia just moments ago, her face was still swollen! She didn’t dare to provoke her further.

They had gone through a lot of hardship to finally worm their way into the General’s Mansion; naturally, they were not willing to leave just like that, especially since Old Lady Mo had entered on the pretext of a deal. They would not easily leave without accomplishing their goal.

However, staying in such a decrepit courtyard, Old Lady Mo also felt a surging anger within her. Thus, she racked her brain, plotting how to get revenge on Xuexue.

Seeing their silent, head-bowed appearance, Zi Xia knew they wouldn’t leave easily, so she left with a few maids.

Now that Xuexue was in charge of the General’s Mansion, dealing with them would be a piece of cake. Let them suffer for a while; if they can’t bear it, they’ll leave on their own.

The Mo family stood at the gateway of the courtyard, staring at each other in dismay. In the end, having no other choice, they had to carry their luggage into the courtyard.

Inside, they found weeds growing everywhere, numerous household items toppled and strewn about, leaving no place to even stand properly.

Madam Ruan’s smile disappeared as well, lifting her feet delicately and carefully walking into the courtyard, grumbling as she went: "Oy vey! To think that the General’s Mansion, which looks so splendid from the outside, has such a courtyard within, even worse than our former residence. How can anyone live here?"

"Exactly, if we had known, it would have been better to stay at home. After a month of travel, coming here only to find no proper place to stay, and now we’re still hungry, with no one bringing us anything to eat," Mo Daoyan was also full of complaints.

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Mo immediately became unhappy: "At our old age, we do not complain, yet you young ones can’t take it?"
