Chapter 982: Chapter 982: Madam Xie’s Residence (Happy New Year)

The people of the Mo family, except for Old Lady Mo, had no idea what Xuexue was saying.

After haranguing Old Lady Mo, Xuexue left with Zi Xia.

Having listened to Xuexue’s words, Old Lady Mo lost her appetite, put down her chopsticks, and sat on the stool, deep in thought.

"Mother, what on earth was Xuexue talking about?" Mo Daoyan held a pig’s trotter in his hand, eating it greedily with oil all over his mouth, while asking Old Lady Mo.

Famished from missing a whole morning’s meal, they finally had such a decent spread. Not wanting to waste it and driven by the thought that it’s better to overeat than starve, Mo Daoyan continued gnawing even after he was full.

"Who knows what that little cheap thing was babbling about? Mother doesn’t understand," Old Lady Mo said ill-temperedly, her mood already foul.

"Should we still go to the government office to file a complaint tomorrow?"

"File what complaint? Mother was just scaring that little cheap thing. After all, she grew up eating the food from the Mo family, I can’t bear to do it," she said with evident reluctance.

"I didn’t expect Mother to be quite kind to Xuexue."

"But that little cheap person can’t feel it," Old Lady Mo replied, her tone sullen.

The meal they were eating today was thanks to Auntie Tang instructing a maid to send it over. Otherwise, their whole family would have gone hungry.

Moreover, the maid also revealed to her Auntie Tang’s background, saying that she was the Eldest Legitimate Daughter of Prince Pu and though just a Concubine in the General’s Mansion, with the support of Prince Pu’s Mansion, she won’t be lacking in the future there.

Having learned of this, Old Lady Mo gained confidence and started blustering about taking Xuexue to the government office for plotting to steal and harm.

However, she didn’t stop to think about how Mo Xiaoqiang, looking like a sorry mess, came to the Capital with nothing but two sets of clothes and not a single wen money. What wealth was there to scheme after?

This old woman’s ability to talk nonsense was quite remarkable, not fearing the ridicule of others if they heard her.

The Mo family set up camp in the General’s Mansion, becoming a thorn in Xuexue’s side.

Now, she had to guard against Auntie Tang’s scheming, always watching out for Old Lady Mo, fearful of being backstabbed.

Luckily, with Xiao Taohong, the little ghost, offering help, the burden didn’t feel as heavy.

And Xiao Taohong’s surveillance was unnoticed by the gods and invisible to ghosts, as she herself was a ghost, unseen by anyone, there to watch over others only.

Changan Street.

This is the busiest and most prosperous part of the Capital, with dazzling and assorted shops lining both sides.

Among them, a brothel named Qinger Building stood out for its magnificence. It was three-stories tall, with its external colors vivid and vibrant, not to mention the lavishness within.

At its entrance, there was a constant stream of comings and goings, bustling with great business every day.

Next to Qinger Building, there was a residence that remained closed year-round, rarely seeing anyone enter or leave.

One day, a horse-drawn carriage approached slowly...

"Whoa...!"

With a shout from the carriage driver, the carriage stopped outside the residence.

A petite woman descended from the back of the carriage, her face veiled, her features indiscernible.

A maid followed her down from the carriage, her face also covered by a veil, making both mistress and servant seem rather mysterious.

"Knock knock knock..."

The door was gently knocked.

Soon after, the door opened from the inside, and a small figure leaped out the moment it was ajar.

"Sister, sister, you finally came, Chuner was so bored to death!"

Indeed, this residence was the home of Mo Xiaoqiang’s family; they had lived here for a while. Being by the street, the convenience pleased them, and they were quite satisfied.
