Chapter 1184: Chapter 375: Surgery_3

Mo Yan’s mood had recovered quite a bit by now, and for once, she didn’t bicker with Xue tuanzi, "Bro Xiao’s heart has never been false, it’s you who have always viewed him with prejudice."

Xue tuanzi once had two owners who were dizzy with love, easily trusting in men and revealing the greatest secret of Space to the men they called their true loves. As a result, one of them died depressed in captivity, while the other couldn’t bear the betrayal and committed suicide. Their ends were extremely tragic.

For this reason, Xue tuanzi scorned so-called love and always harbored a skeptical attitude towards Xiao Ruiyuan, often reminding Mo Yan not to tell anyone the secret of Space. As long as she didn’t reveal it herself, even if it was inadvertently detected by someone, it had ways to solve the issue and protect the secret of Space.

After hearing Mo Yan’s words, Xue tuanzi snorted, "What counts is mere momentary sincerity? If he can still maintain his composure after learning the secret of Space, only then is he truly worthy of your lifelong cherishing. However, you must never be foolish enough to use Space to test him."

In the end, Xue tuanzi couldn’t help but remind her, concerned. It had had enough of all those romantic entanglements, its previous two owners had broken its heart thoroughly, so when choosing a new owner, in addition to meeting the various conditions to activate the Ancient Jade, this aspect was also very important.

When it chose Mo Yan, what it valued most was her nine generations of good deeds; another point was that she had lived to twenty-five in that world without ever being in love, without acting desperately for a man like many young people, which put it particularly at ease.

However, had it never considered that the reason its owner had never been in love was because she was afraid of dying at any moment, not wanting to leave behind suffering for the living, rather than whether she would lose her principles for a man and divulge secrets she should not? There was no direct causality between these two.

Mo Yan gently rubbed Xue tuanzi, and said earnestly, "Rest assured, I won’t tell the secret of Space to anyone, and neither will Bro Xiao."

Testing the one you love to see if they truly love you is a foolish act because even you can’t guarantee you’ll pass the test without betraying the other person, how can you expect someone else to certainly do the same?

Feeling that Mo Yan’s words were not just to appease it, Xue tuanzi affectionately rubbed her face with its plump body, expressing satisfaction with her answer.

...

The people in the Government Office had questioned Manager Gou and the workers several times after they regained consciousness, but no new information emerged apart from the ghost seeking revenge. With no clear news from the Government Office, the Jinxiu Textile ghost revenge incident continued to ferment and escalate.

People are very superstitious about ghosts and the supernatural, often attributing unexplainable events to these causes, and the public always has a great passion for such matters. As a result, such events have a wide spread and great impact; sometimes, similar events in Jiangnan could be heard in Jing City in less than half a year.

Of course, what the people of Jing City usually heard was an even more exaggerated and terrifying version!

A Storyteller, taking this incident as inspiration, had someone write a vivid and touching script. Thus, the teahouses became lively once more, and within three days, the slightly exaggerated script could be heard in every street and alley.

Ministers in the court had heard of this incident, and most just listened and let it be, not caring about the fate of two low-status workers. The Imperial Censors, however, were different; they had a keen "sense of smell" for matters of the streets and often discovered significant problems in seemingly minor moments.

This time was no exception. Soon enough, an Imperial Censor inadvertently learned that it was the Mu Family that was backing Jinxiu Textile, and he wrote a lengthy memorial of a thousand characters to report the Mu Family.

The crux of the memorial was that the Mu Family condoned the violent and evil acts of the Fang Family’s workers, not even sparing children, barely better than beasts. If such behavior were not severely punished, it would surely encourage more of the same, leading to a future where more children would fall prey to vile people, causing moral decline, public outrage, and becoming a serious threat to both homes and the country!

Although somewhat exaggerated, the harmful consequences stated were true. Once a bad precedent is set and not curbed, more people will inevitably follow suit, eventually leading to the collapse of ritual and music. Should the day come when people become numb to such affairs, it would indicate that the ways of the world have become unbearably filthy.
