Chapter 539: Chapter 539: Forgot to Check the Almanac Before Going Out (1)_1

Mo Erni’s proudest achievement was her successful persuasion of her godfather, Manager Song, to leave the Xue Family. By a twist of fate, she joined the powerful and influential Lin Mansion, becoming a third class maid there.

If Lord Wei Yuan House and Duke Wu’an’s Mansion are the top two World Families in Jing City, then the Lin Mansion is one of the greatest World Families, just a step behind them. The current Family Head of Lin Mansion serves as Minister of Revenue, in charge of Great Chu’s treasury. Coupled with the Lin Family’s continuous emergence of talented members and their status as the favored King Heng’s maternal family, their power and influence are undoubtedly much greater than that of the other Six Ministers, thanks to their royal relatives’ identity.

It’s always good to lean on a powerful tree for shade, and having found such a good household, even if she wasn’t free and only a third class maid, Mo Erni felt superior to others. Walking out of Lin Mansion, she could scare people just by relying on the Mansion’s influence.

Precisely because she had enjoyed a period of easy life at Lin Mansion, the moment she saw Mo Yan and the others today, she decided to plot against Mo Yan, egging Qiuyue on to cause trouble for Mo Yan. In her eyes, no matter how formidable Mo Yan was, she was just a powerless village girl. Relying on Lin Mansion’s power, she was sure she could trample her beneath her feet and take her revenge.

However, her scheming was destined to come to naught.

Looking at Mo Erni’s complacently smug expression, Mo Yan didn’t take her threats seriously at all. With a calm demeanor, she retorted, "The Young Mistress Lin of Lin Mansion? Even if Young Mistress Lin is powerful and influential, can she just bully ordinary people without any reason? Let’s not mention that we haven’t even seen her, much less offended her. And even if we had, it would only be because we bought two bolts of fabric before you. Would a noble lady lack such generosity? If word of this were to spread, would your young mistress’s reputation sound pleasing? Or are you suggesting that you are displeased with your own master and deliberately tarnishing her reputation on purpose, hmm?"

By the end, Mo Yan intentionally dragged out her tone, looking at the pale-faced Mo Erni and Qiuyue, feigning surprise she said, "Seeing how guilty you look, did I hit the nail on the head? Are you really just picking a quarrel on purpose to damage Young Mistress Lin’s reputation?"

Mo Erni and Qiuyue, staring at Mo Yan in disbelief, had not expected her to twist the situation like this. For a moment, they felt both fear and dread.

If these words reached the young mistress’s ears, even if she believed they were innocent, given her temper, she would not easily let them off the hook. They’d be punished severely, if not to death, then at least lose a layer of skin, or worse, become so despised by the young mistress that they’d be sold directly into a brothel. Had any servant who had offended the young mistress ever ended well?

Thinking of this, Mo Erni wished she could tear Mo Yan apart, grinding her teeth she said, "You—you’re talking nonsense! Our young mistress is kind and benevolent, don’t you know how good she is? You dare to besmirch our young mistress’s reputation, I will go back right now and tell her so that she can deal with you!"

Qiuyue, equally terrified, came to her senses and pointed at Mo Yan, shouting, "You sharp-tongued wretch, how dare you slander our young mistress so! We will teach you a lesson today, so you’ll know just how formidable our young mistress is!"

After speaking, she bypassed Wu’s and the others who were blocking Mo Erni and rushed towards Mo Yan, raising her hand for a heavy slap.

Mo Yan scoffed, easily catching Qiuyue’s wrist with her hand, twisting and pushing in one fluid movement, and with a clever force, sent her "flying" out. Caught off-guard, Qiuyue failed to keep her balance, landing squarely on her backside.

Inspecting her hand, Mo Yan dusted off non-existent dirt with satisfaction. It seemed that the nightly farm work and drinking Spirit Spring Water were not in vain; her strength had indeed increased!

Qiuyue, looking terrified at Mo Yan approaching her, kept retreating, supporting herself with her hands, fearing she would be hit.
