Chapter 549: Chapter 549: Hidden Killing Intent (8)_1

It is said to be an "accident" but it is no accident; Mo Yan orchestrated the whole thing. She had the Hidden Guard pose as an ordinary person and tell the Fang Family that they were in search of a Noble person compatible with their horoscope to be a bride, and Mo Yongxi was immediately tempted.

Mo Yongxi had a bad reputation in the village, and no one from her own village or the surrounding ones wanted her as a daughter-in-law. As her age kept increasing, it was impossible for her not to be anxious. Now that a fine marriage proposal fell from the sky, how could she not grasp it firmly?

While Mo Yongxi tried every means to ingratiate herself with the elders of the Fang Family, Mo Yan had the Hidden Guard disguise himself as a celestial-looking Taoist, divining for the whole Fang Family. He only mentioned that upon finding a person compatible with their horoscopes, the Fang Family would certainly prosper and their wealth would flow in abundantly.

The elders of the Fang Family, seeing the "Taoist" spoke with authority and even knew all the details like when they had been sick and where in the house their Silver was hidden, naturally believed him without doubt. Soon, they found Mo Yongxi, who had been waiting at the specific place and time according to the "Taoist" instructions.

In the end, the Fang Family, following the "Taoist’s" guidance, forced Lao Mo’s House to come up with a dowry of fifty taels of silver, otherwise the marriage would be called off. Subsequently, there came the events of Tie Tou being forced into marriage, San Ni and Shitou almost being sold, and eventually them successfully escaping Lao Mo’s House to reunite with Wu’s.

Mo Yan is not a saint. The people of Lao Mo’s House mistreated her original self, mistreated her current siblings and father, and even indirectly caused the death of her original self; she could not forgive, as that would be unfair to the original self.

After arriving at Liu Yang Village, the people of Lao Mo’s House, especially Mo Yongxi, burned firewood, broke fruit seedlings, and even attempted to destroy her face... Afterward, not only did Mo Yongxi show no remorse, but she became even more aggressive and continued to harm them at every turn. How could Mo Yan let such a poisonous snake go?

If only Mo Yongxi had been more rational and not blinded by superficial glamour, if only she had made an effort to inquire about the Fang Family, she would not have ended up marrying a man who could offer her no happiness. Unfortunately, she was vain and held herself in high regard, never considering that the honey she sought was laced with arsenic.

Rather than letting her stay in the village to harm others, it was better to grant her wishes and marry her off to harm someone else. The Fang Family deserved to be harmed too. Knowing their son preferred men, they still plotted to marry an innocent girl into a life of loneliness. Wasn’t this cruelty itself?

As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." Mo Yan had no regrets plotting against them, letting them fight like dogs.

Seeing Mo Yan silent, Wu’s thought she was uninterested and started talking about other things. In the process, she brought up Big Sister Dani, who was chopping vegetables not too far away: "Big Sister Dani is also seventeen this year, and I wonder what kind of in-laws she will find! Dani has suffered quite a lot. I don’t expect her to be very rich in the future; I just hope she can have enough to eat and find a genuinely caring husband to spend her days well."

Ever since the news about building their brick house spread, several men from the village had shown interest, but all were rejected by her. It wasn’t that she looked down on those young men, but either they had too many siblings at home, or their elders were unkind. More siblings meant more conflict, and an unkind elder meant hardship for the daughter-in-law; she could not let her daughter walk in her footsteps.

Mo Yan was unaware of Wu’s thoughts, and looking at Dani’s slender figure skillfully chopping vegetables, she smiled reassuringly, "Big Sister Dani is capable and virtuous. It’s hard to find a young woman as good as her, even with a lantern. Whoever marries Big Sister Dani will have amassed a lot of good karma. She will definitely find a match that’s right for her!"

Who wouldn’t feel flattered upon hearing this? Wu’s smiled proudly, her crow’s feet deepening: "Not to boast, but Dani indeed is a catch. If it hadn’t been for that disaster, Dani wouldn’t have been delayed until now. Fortunately, we are now rid of those vile people and occurrences, so I can find her a good family."

At this moment, after finishing chopping vegetables, Big Sister Dani came over with a basket of greens, and she just happened to catch the conversation, her face involuntarily flushing red, yet the image of a captivating face surfaced in her mind.

Noticing her blush and daydreaming, Mo Yan teased with a laugh, "Look at Big Sister Dani, she’s so red she can’t even be looked at. Could she be thinking of a special someone?"

Dani instantly snapped back to reality, her face turning an even deeper shade of red. Caught between nervousness and guilt, she vehemently shook her head, stammering, "No, no thoughts like that. Why, why would I have them!"

"Hehe, Big Sister Dani really has a thin skin. You’ve made me too embarrassed to tease you anymore," Mo Yan laughed heartily, for she wasn’t familiar enough with Dani to notice her unusual behavior.

Wu’s, however, did sense her daughter’s off-behavior and her heart skipped a beat. She probed subtly, "Dani, you’re a grown-up girl and always sensible. If you do have any thoughts in your heart, you can tell your mother. I won’t blame you for anything."

Upon hearing this, uncertainty flickered across Dani’s face, but she shook her head and said, "There’s nothing of the sort, Mother. You’re overthinking. My brother hasn’t even married yet; you should be more concerned about him!"

Wu’s looked deeply into her daughter’s eyes and continued along the lines of the conversation, "Your brother is a man; he can’t be taken advantage of. If he truly fancies a girl, no matter her looks or family background, your mother will marry her into our family."

Dani glanced guiltily at her mother, unsure of how to respond. When she saw Mo Yan listening with perked ears, she couldn’t resist saying, "Yanyan will be fifteen after the new year. When Uncle Mo becomes a Scholar, Yanyan will be a Scholar’s young miss. In the future, she might marry into an official’s family, becoming a noble lady herself!"

Oops!

Mo Yan hadn’t expected the conversation to turn to her. She just thought that even if her father became a Scholar, or even a Champion Scholar, their family background would still be worlds apart from that of a certain gentleman, making her suddenly speechless with frustration.
