Chapter 959: Chapter 959: Wipe Out (4)

Hearing the voices of the two villains fading away, Fan Meijiao struggled to sit up, incessantly writhing with her hands and feet, in a futile attempt to break free from the ropes.

She didn’t want to be humiliated, nor did she want to take the fall for her uncle, Zhao Fengnian. She had to save herself, she had to escape, marry into the Mu Family, and become the respected Second Madame Mu commanding servants, not sold by a group of scoundrels to some poor, deep forests to be a wife to multiple men.

However, the thumb-thick ropes were tied too tightly, beyond what she could break free from. There was nothing in the cellar to aid her, no sharp objects with which to cut the ropes.

After struggling for nearly an hour, all she had to show on her wrists and ankles were rope burns, and not a single sign of loosening. Fan Meijiao gasped for breath, her eyes filled with despair and hatred beneath her blindfold...

The occurrence at Zhao Mansion and Fan Meijiao’s tragic state soon reached Mo Yan’s ears. She took out some millet, rewarding Lianlian who had gathered the information, a cold smile appearing on her face.

If she had directly ordered those dozen or so thieves to sneak into Zhao Mansion, and if they had managed to ruin Fan Meijiao’s reputation, not to mention whether they could accomplish it or not, she would risk being exposed. Given Fan Meijiao’s nature, the possibility of a fight to the death was too high, not worth the risk at all for Mo Yan.

Fortunately, she had learned of the "good deeds" Zhao Fengnian had done over the years, as well as his suspicious nature. Seizing the opportunity when Fan Meijiao went to the temple to fulfill a vow, she provided those men with a powder that would startle the horses, throwing off Zhao Mansion’s guards. Then they took the chance to kidnap Fan Meijiao, making sure not to leak any information.

As expected, the Zhao Mother and Son, with their overactive imaginations, scared themselves. This way, even if Fan Meijiao were released later, they wouldn’t suspect Mo Yan, and her subsequent plans could proceed normally.

Moreover, they did as she had anticipated, doing everything they could to cover up for Fan Meijiao. At least the Mu Family believed it, so there would be no issues delaying until Fan Meijiao married into the Mu Family!

Given Fan Meijiao’s selfish nature, once she knew that such humiliation was all thanks to her lovely uncle, she would likely grow estranged from the Zhao Family. Should something unfavorable happen to the Zhao Family in the future, she would probably just watch from the sidelines. Once she lost the backing of the Zhao Family, her days in the Mu Family would definitely not be pleasant.

In any case, Fan Meijiao would gradually pay back, bit by bit, for everything she had done to Mo Yan. Fan Meijiao’s life would no longer know peace from this day on.

"Yanyan, when do you plan to release that woman?" Xue tuanzi flew in front of Mo Yan and curiously asked.

After feeding the bird the last kernel of millet, Mo Yan dusted off her hands as if there was non-existent dust and said, "Only after that detestable woman has been tormented enough, and my deep-seated hatred has been quelled, will I consider releasing her."

Xue tuanzi rolled its eyes. What was the difference between this answer and no answer at all?

"There is indeed a difference!" Mo Yan gently pinched Xue tuanzi’s snail-like eyes, tying and then untying them in a knot, "If she dared to do such a thing to me, she must be prepared to face the consequences. The Zhao Mother and Son are no good either, let them live in fear. Once Fan Meijiao marries that Lord Mu Second, the real show will just be beginning!"

"Tsk tsk, Yanyan, you are really ruthless, but I like it, haha!" Xue tuanzi shook its body, its snail eyes oscillating wildly, clearly in a good mood.

Ruthless? Mo Yan scoffed. How could she be more ruthless than the Zhao Mother and Son! They might not have blood on their hands directly, but they turned a blind eye as their relatives brought disaster to the village, causing many to lose families, scattering wives and children. Had she not known, it might have been a different story, but now that she was aware, how could she let them continue to enjoy their wealth on the tears and blood of innocent people?

Sensing Mo Yan’s thoughts, Xue tuanzi’s eyes rolled, saying, "Eliminating harm for the people also accumulates merit. There are plenty of bad people in this world, Yanyan, go for it, I’m rooting for you!"

Mo Yan gave Xue tuanzi an indifferent look, paying no mind to the creature once again giving absurd suggestions. Eliminating harm for the people also required measuring one’s strength; if she provoked someone she shouldn’t, and it led to retaliation, she had Space and wasn’t afraid, but what about her family members? How could they avoid being harmed?

Under Mo Yan’s subtle cues, Fan Meijiao, who was trapped in the cellar, suffered a great deal. Although the kidnappers never violated her, someone had seen her naked body, so much so that they knew about the small red mole in her most private of places.

These details of her body would later serve as vital evidence to attack Fan Meijiao, ensuring her reputation as a wanton woman would stick with her for life in the Mu Family. Of course, to prevent her from being cast aside by the Mu Family and not becoming the esteemed Madame Mu, Mo Yan would also find the right moment to share the fact about Lord Mu Second’s impotence.

This way, the husband and wife, each holding the other’s secrets, could "lovingly" get on with their lives!

Three days flashed by, and under Mo Yan’s instruction, the kidnappers finally sent word to Zhao Mansion, having Zhao Fengnian himself come to rescue his niece.

Zhao Fengnian was convinced that the thieves were targeting him and wouldn’t risk himself. But he had to save his niece; otherwise, if word got out, it would tarnish the reputation of Zhao Mansion.

So, he disguised the guards from the mansion, had them follow him secretly to rescue the girl, while he went with only two attendants to the place agreed with the "kidnappers," prepared to capture all the kidnappers in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, the "kidnappers" realized Zhao Fengnian’s intentions. In their panic to flee, they left behind Fan Meijiao. Consequently, Fan Meijiao was rescued successfully. As for the "kidnappers," naturally, not one was caught!
