Chapter 1193: Chapter 1199: Scratching One’s Face (3)

Mo Qingshan had already left, and naturally, Mo Yuanshan wouldn’t stay either. The affairs of the Second Room were for the Grandfather and Grandmother to decide. Even if they were not up to the task, the Second Brother and his wife would handle it, so it wasn’t the place of Mo Zili, this eldest uncle, to interfere. Therefore, he too rose to his feet and said, "Mother, I’ll leave this matter in your capable hands. I have other business to attend to and must leave now. Just don’t become too angry and harm your health."

After finishing his words, he left, leaving only Mo Zili, Old Madame Liu, First Lady Wu, and Second Lady Bai in the room.

The Old Madame glanced at Mo Zili and the two daughters-in-law and said, "At this point, it’s futile to assign blame or punishment. Although the girl from the Du family may not be sufficient, what she carries in her womb is, after all, the flesh and blood of our Mo family. Therefore, my intention is to keep her here for the time being and make further plans after the childbirth!"

Although Lady Bai didn’t like Du Wanqing, given that Du Wanqing was pregnant with her own grandson, her heart was hanging low, fearing that the Grandfather and Grandmother would decide to deal with Du Wanqing. Hearing the Grandmother say to temporarily keep her until she gave birth, Lady Bai felt a surge of joy and said, "Grandmother’s idea is excellent. Let’s follow what Grandmother has decided!"

First Lady Wu, on the other hand, was displeased. Xiang Yun was her own niece, whom she had always cherished like a daughter. If Du Wanqing were to stay, Xiang Yun’s future days would be difficult. She thus spoke with a sour tone, "Now Zili has gotten what he wanted. It’s just poor Yun’er who, happily married into this family, has been here barely three months. She herself hasn’t had the chance, yet the concubine has gotten pregnant first!"

Lady Bai hastily interjected, "What your Aunt Wu says is right, Zili. This matter truly wrongs Xiang Yun. You must treat her well in the future. If I hear of her suffering even the slightest injustice, I will hold you and that seductive fox accountable, settling both new grievances and old!"

Mo Zili, already feeling ashamed during First Lady Wu’s defense of Xiang Yun, thought of Xiang Yun’s innocent expressions, and the misty moisture he saw in her eyes before he came here, which made his heart constrict sharply. A wave of indescribable sorrow overwhelmed him in an instant.

It was only upon hearing his mother’s words that he finally came back to his senses. With an embarrassed face, he said, "Aunt Wu, although Wanqing has come in, I will not let Yun’er suffer. Rest assured!"

Lady Wu responded with a cold smile, "To put my mind at ease, that demon girl from the Du family must be sent away. Otherwise, how could I be at peace? Ah, when it comes down to it, I blame myself for meddling. Back when you two were little, playing together like a pair of Golden Boy and Jade Girl, I thought you were well-matched. So I returned to my parents’ house and vigorously promoted this marriage, even assuring my brother and sister-in-law how wonderful it would be for Yun’er to marry into this family. Now she’s here, but she’s left to see how you shower affection on that girl from the Du family. Ah! I’m too ashamed to face my brother and sister-in-law!"

With that, she began to dab her tears with a handkerchief.

Seeing her mother-in-law cry, Lady Yang hurriedly came forward to console her, "Mother, please stop crying. Instead of crying, it’s better to go see how Xiang Yun is faring. She must be very upset right now!"

Upon hearing this, Lady Wu quickly got up with the help of Lady Yang’s hand and said to the Old Madame, "Mother, please excuse me for a moment. I’ll go to Xiang Yun’s room to see her and comfort her. I, as her aunt, have sinned, leading my own niece astray. Now all I can do is comfort her."

The Grandmother, sensing anger in Lady Wu’s words, then said, "Go tell Miss Yun that no matter whose surname is Du or whose is Yao, as long as I am here, she will not be wronged. Tell her to just focus on her own well-being, to be the Young Madam as she should, and once Zili’s rib is healed, she’s sure to get pregnant too. She will definitely give birth to a healthy baby boy, and no one will be able to get ahead of her!"
