Chapter 884: Chapter 884 Slapping Down a Feud (2)

"Who dares to impersonate a County Lord in plain sight? If the young lady has the audacity to claim so, she must be right."

"Oh my, that insolent girl with the married woman’s hairstyle looks like a tough nut to crack, and she’s up against a County Lord no less. How will they settle this debacle?"

"Who cares how it’s settled, it’s none of our business anyway! But as bold as that married woman’s hairstyle Miss is, it won’t end well for her if she’s disrespectful to the County Lord, unless her own status is that of a Princess, Commandery Princess, or a Lady of Imperial Mandate with a higher rank level than the County Lord."

"That’s true, but look at her, she might as well pile all the gold on her head, looking every bit the Local rich man’s wife. The esteemed Princess, Commandery Princess, Lady of Imperial Mandate never display such taste!"

"Hey, hey, I hadn’t noticed until you mentioned it. Looks like she’s another Local rich man’s daughter run amok, completely oblivious of her place in the world!"

"..."

By then, Fan Meijiao could no longer hear the disdainful mockery of the passersby, her eyes fixed on Mo Yan, she bit her teeth and asked, "Are you Princess Hejia?"

Mo Yan had the feeling that this woman was reacting abnormally, but couldn’t quite put her finger on what was off, so she suppressed the flicker of suspicion in her heart, let go of the hand restraining her, and said calmly, "Yes, I am Princess Hejia."

She hadn’t intended to reveal her identity, but now that her sister had brought it into the open, there was no need for her to deny it.

Fan Meijiao staggered backwards as if unable to bear the shock, supported by the green-dressed maid who had earlier been instigating trouble. Leaning on the maid, her gaze towards Mo Yan flickered with something that was certainly not goodwill.

Mo Yan saw it clearly, her mind rifling through memories of this person, though she couldn’t for the life of her remember where she had met her or how she might have wronged her.

Fan Meijiao had long harbored the idea of marrying Mo Qingze, and she was extremely wary of Mo Yan, the County Lord. She had never imagined that she would meet Mo Yan in such a way that she would become enemies with her even before formally becoming part of the Mo Family.

Even if she was foolish, she knew that it would not be suitable to persist today. If her identity were exposed, there was hardly any chance left to marry into the Mo Family and to the man she admired. Furthermore, she would have no hope of controlling this ’stepdaughter’ she so detested.

Suppressing the turmoil within her, Fan Meijiao forced a smile that could be described as affectionate on her face and said to Mo Yan, "It was... It was my lack of vision that I failed to recognize the County Lord. The clash earlier was just a misunderstanding. I hope the County Lord will overlook the foolishness and spare me this time."

Fan Meijiao’s sudden smile was enough to raise goosebumps on Mo Yan. This abrupt change put her on guard, though her face remained expressionless, "Given that the Lady has said so, if I were to take the matter further, I would be the petty one the Lady speaks of! However..."

Here, Mo Yan paused, casting a meaningful glance at the green-dressed maid behind Fan Meijiao. Amidst Fan Meijiao’s cautious gaze, she continued lightly, "The Lady’s maid was the one who first clashed with and insulted me downstairs. I am not of the mind to hold a grudge against a servant, yet this ignorant servant dared to incite the Lady to insult myself, the County Lord. The Lady can be excused for unknowing wrongs, but such troublemaking servants must be punished. Otherwise, others will assume the County Lord is easy to bully. That’s right, isn’t it, Lady?"

Enduring such insults from this servant and master pair, even a saint would lose their temper, and especially in front of so many people. If Mo Yan let them off now, people wouldn’t regard her as magnanimous but as weak and easily bullied.

As expected, her father would be awarded an official title and kept in the capital. In the future, her family would be navigating the official circles. Having been humiliated for no reason today, if she didn’t retaliate, her father would be ridiculed as well. No matter what, this matter couldn’t just end like this. By punishing this troublesome Maid, naturally, it would be a slap in the face of the woman before her.
