Chapter 448: Chapter 448 Unrepentant (1)_1

Originally, the two households had cut off all relations, and it was fine as long as neither side gained any advantage. However, Mrs. Mo Wu visited the Mo Family every day, returning home smelling of food, and if anyone said she got no benefits, Mrs. Mo Niu would be the first to disbelieve them.

The conditions of the two branches of the family were similar to start with, but just because Tie Tou worked in the Mo Family’s rice shop, his branch was far better off than the second branch. Mrs. Mo Niu had always been jealous, and now with Mrs. Mo Wu likely gaining benefits at the Mo Family’s while she could only watch on helplessly, there was no way she felt at peace!

For several days, Mrs. Mo Niu restrained herself and tried to figure out what exactly Mrs. Mo Wu was doing at the Mo Family’s, but everyone from the main branch had been repeatedly cautioned by Mrs. Mo Wu and their lips were sealed tight. Since she couldn’t enter the Mo Family’s main gate, all her efforts over the past few days had been in vain and she had learned nothing.

Knowing her own limitations, Mrs. Mo Niu was aware that even if she confronted Mrs. Mo Wu, she wouldn’t get anything out of her, so she turned her attention to Mo Hong’s family.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Mo Hong’s family had been beaten severely by Old Man Mo and had lain in bed for several days before recovering. Once able to get up, she started taking care of Mo Yongxi, who couldn’t even get out of bed.

Mo Yongxi’s injuries were not minor, and with proper care from a good doctor and some well-prepared medicine, she should have been able to get out of bed after resting for these days. However, Lao Mo’s House didn’t have much silver, and Old Man Mo, blaming her for bringing trouble to the family and staunchly cutting off any association with the Mo Family, refused to hire a good doctor for her.

In the end, it was Mo Hong’s family who had threatened her two sons with death, forcing them to produce the silver needed to hire a doctor for Mo Yongxi. High-quality medicine was too expensive and out of reach, so they had to settle for common drugs. Still, the cost had added up to a substantial amount of silver coin after a few days.

All day long, Mo Yongxi drunk bitter medicine with no quick improvement. A few days dragged on, and she became emaciated, her demeanor growing increasingly gloomy. Upon seeing Mrs. Mo Niu enter, she immediately turned her face away, neither greeting her nor offering a kind expression.

Mrs. Mo Niu had little respect for this younger sister-in-law who had caused trouble for the family. She greeted her coolly and then, with much concern, said to Mo Hong’s family, "Mother, it was the Mo Family who did this to my sister-in-law. It’s not right that my sister-in-law doesn’t seek justice for her from the Mo Family, yet she’s there day after day. Who knows what schemes they might be plotting against our family in secret—you can’t just ignore this!"

Mo Hong’s family could clearly hear the discord in her words, but as her youngest son had been exiled by the Mo Family and her only daughter left in such a state by them, she had long harbored a venomous hatred for the Mo Family and been pondering over how to exact a cruel revenge. Mrs. Mo Niu’s words struck a chord with her, so she didn’t expose the provocation but instead agreed, "You’re right, we can’t let that two-faced creature conspire with our enemies to harm our family. When she comes back, have her come to this room. I want to see for myself what devious plans she’s really concocting."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Mo Niu’s face revealed a smug smile, and she nodded promptly in agreement.

When Mrs. Mo Wu joyfully returned from the Mo Family’s, Mrs. Mo Niu stopped her. Mrs. Mo Wu, no fool, knew that her actions over the past few days had angered some, but with a plan in mind, she wasn’t afraid of any malice from the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. So, she followed Mrs. Mo Niu to Mo Yongxi’s room without a hint of fear.

Mo Yongxi, the beloved late-born daughter and the only daughter of Mo Hong’s family, was held in even higher esteem than the sons. Therefore, despite Lao Mo’s House not being spacious and the six people of the main branch having to squeeze into one room, Mo Yongxi enjoyed the luxury of a reasonably sized room all to herself.

At that moment, the room’s environment was unpleasant. Not only was it filled with an offensive medicinal odor, but there was also a strong stench of urine. The two smells mixed together, creating a truly noxious air that almost made Mrs. Mo Wu vomit.

Seeing Mo Hong’s family sitting by the bed, her murky and gloomy eyes staring coldly at her, Mrs. Mo Wu couldn’t help feeling a chill run down her spine. Composing herself, she asked respectfully, "Mother, did you ask for me to come for something?"
