Chapter 693: Chapter 693: Speculating Expansion (2)_1

Even if Emperor Huian tolerated the Lin Family, they could still only follow a dark path until the end; otherwise, once Chu Heng assumed the throne, everyone in the Lin Family would not escape death.

Moreover, Emperor Huian constantly thought about killing the Lin Family, pulling her into this dangerous vortex.

All these things were merely the speculation of two people, not necessarily accurate. To deal with the Lin Family, the root cause must be addressed, and Mo Yan was not willing to clean up the mess for those who plotted against her, even if that person was the ruler of a nation. She had to find opportunities to recoup from elsewhere.

This speculation, Xiao Ruiyuan kept from Chu Heng, telling only Mo Yan. Otherwise, given Chu Heng’s hatred for the Lin Family and Lin Imperial Concubine, in his agitation, no one knew what irreversible actions he might take.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Ruiyuan had to return to Jingshan Villa. He was ordered to protect Chu Heng and could not stay out for too long. He came this time because he had received news from Yan Junyu and was worried that Mo Yan would have reckless thoughts, so he made a special trip.

Forcing down the urge to embrace the person before him, Xiao Ruiyuan’s low voice contained a trace of reluctance, "Yanyan, once your cousin is in better health, we’ll be able to see each other often! If anything happens on your end, I might not be able to look after you. You must be careful, and remember to have the Hidden Guard send me a message."

The two had a hard time meeting, and they had only been alone for less than two hours. The reluctance in Mo Yan’s heart went without saying, but she didn’t show it on her face, to avoid making it even harder for them to part, "You don’t need to worry about me. Whether it’s the Lin Family or King Heng, whether they use underhanded tricks or come at me openly, I can handle it. It’s your side that’s far more dangerous; you need to be more careful."

The woman’s concern was greatly appreciated by Xiao Ruiyuan, and he finally couldn’t resist. He reached out and gently embraced her, remaining silent for a long time.

Mo Yan complacently leaned into the man’s embrace, closing her eyes to feel the steady heartbeat next to her ear. Her somewhat chaotic heart unexpectedly settled down...

After Xiao Ruiyuan left, Mo Yan returned home with her younger siblings, only to hear that Mo Hong’s family had suffered a stroke from shock.

Seeing the concern on the faces of Lixiu and others, Mo Yan couldn’t help but touch her forehead, "I’m not the one who had a stroke, why are you looking at me like that?"

The group laughed sheepishly, a bit embarrassed. Liyan breathed a sigh of relief and made a face, "It’s said that Mrs. Hong suffered a stroke after hearing about you submitting a petition against Mo Yongxi. Isn’t it because she’s worried that you would feel guilty about it?"

Mo Yan’s eyes twitched, rather speechless, "Mrs. Hong’s stroke may be due to worry about Mo Yongxi, but more likely because she fears being exposed, right? All of this is what she and her daughter brought upon themselves; what do I have to feel guilty about? Do you really see me as such a saint in your eyes?"

No sooner had the words left her mouth than everyone nodded in agreement, including the youngsters Xin’er and Zhen’er.

"They’ve done many evil things to our family in the past, yet big sister always let them off. Isn’t that the ’saintly heart’ you spoke of before? This time, you finally took a firm stand against them, and as a result, Mrs. Hong had a stroke. Aunt Li and the others are worried that your saintly heart will act up!" Zhen’er said, her large black eyes earnest.

Mo Yan: "..."

She wanted to explain that it was not a saintly heart but rather building a reputation for kindness towards others, planning for the future. But faced with Zhen’er’s innocent gaze, she did not have the heart to fill her with too much worldly wisdom.

Seeing Mo Yan unable to refute, Zhen’er took her hand and consoled her with feigned maturity, "Big sister, there’s no need to be sad; you did very well this time! Although Mrs. Hong is paralyzed and looks pitiful with her crooked eyes and mouth, when you think about it carefully, this outcome is good for our family, and it’s also good for her. It couldn’t be better!"
