Chapter 439: Chapter 439: Divine Protection Severing Ties (2)_1

Reverence?

Mo Yan frowned slightly, quickly understanding the ins and outs, and couldn’t help but laugh. Without her past life experiences and the certainty that she possessed no special abilities, she too would have believed Mo Yongxi flying out inexplicably and vomiting blood as she tried to harm Mo Yan was divine retribution, and would have firmly believed herself to be protected by the gods. It was no wonder then that these people reacted this way.

"Dear uncles and counts," Mo Yan began, "just now you all witnessed my cousin’s actions. I just don’t know if she offended some passing deity, which caused her to spit out blood and fall into unconsciousness. When the village chief and Elder Second Grandpa arrive, I hope you can help bear witness to prevent any misunderstandings that my family caused her harm. I thank you all in advance."

Despite the odd looks from the crowd, Mo Yan feigned ignorance, politely made her request, and timely showed a trace of sadness on her face.

To the villagers, it seemed as if Mo Yongxi’s vicious actions had broken her heart, and she feared being wrongfully blamed. Their initial reverence gave way to sympathy.

An older count, unable to stand by any longer, stepped forward and said, "Yan girl, you’re a good child. Mo Yongxi nearly ruined your face, and yet you still call her ’cousin.’ Rest assured, she has received the evil-doer’s karma and God’s punishment. It’s not your family’s fault, and I will testify for you."

"That’s right, Yan girl, don’t worry. With so many eyes here, we won’t let Lao Mo’s House pin this on you."

"Yes, yes, I am also willing to testify for your family. Don’t worry!"

"..."

When one person took the lead, whether out of genuine righteousness or the intent to curry favor with the Mo Family, most joined in, promising to testify, which filled Mo Yan with gratitude.

"Thank you, dear uncles and counts. After the village chief and Elder Second Grandpa have resolved this matter, I invite all of you to our house for a warm cup of tea."

"Haha, that’s very kind. I’ve long heard that your family’s tea is delicious, but never found the chance to try it!" The crowd responded cheerfully. After all, it was the first day of the New Year, and visiting Lao Mo’s House for a New Year’s greeting and some fine tea would draw no idle gossip about any perceived advantage.

While the crowd chatted, some with keen eyesight saw Yang Bao approaching hurriedly, followed not far behind by a group including Old Man Mo and Mo Hong’s family.

Before they got close, Mo Hong’s family spotted Mo Yongxi lying on the ground, life or death uncertain, and immediately started crying out loudly, "My poor daughter! You went out for a New Year’s visit in good health, and these curs have brought you to this state!"

Upon hearing this, the villagers whom Mo Yan had just asked to testify exchanged glances and shook their heads in unison. Mo Hong, despite her age, was acting thoughtlessly, blaming the Mo Family without knowing the full story. No wonder the Mo Family didn’t hold them in high regard and wouldn’t let them take advantage easily. They deserved it!

Fortunately, they had witnessed the scene where Mo Yongxi attacked and was inexplicably injured, otherwise the innocent Mo Family would have been wrongly accused.

Old Man Mo, worried about his daughter’s safety, didn’t notice Mo Hong’s words. In his heart, he almost wished that his daughter’s trouble was caused by Mo Yan’s family, so he could use it as leverage to regain control over the Mo Family and even take everything they owned.

Mo Wu was truly worried. She ignored Mo Yongxi lying on the ground, and instead, under the pretext of comforting the children, drew close to Mo Yan, "Yan girl, what’s happened here? It doesn’t have anything to do with you, right?"
