Chapter 476: Blazing Fury No. 476 Chapter 476: Blazing Fury No. 476 Mo Daoyan pondered for a moment before saying, “Even if it must be said, we cannot be the ones to say it, otherwise, if big brother finds out, he will definitely hold a grudge against us.”
“And what does husband mean by that…?”
Mo Daoyan gave her an I-know-you-understand look.
Madam Ruan covered her mouth and giggled, “Husband, you’re really cunning, even scheming against your own brother.”
“You woman, don’t fail to appreciate what’s good for you. I’m doing this for the sake of our family,” Mo Daoyan sighed as he glanced at her helplessly, then said, “As the saying goes, ‘A harmonious family leads to prosperity in all endeavors.’ I’m afraid that big brother will hold a grudge against you, and then our family will be in chaos again, without any peace. Would that make you happy?”
“Give me a break, you harm others and still have the nerve to say it’s for their own good,” Madam Ruan said with a look of someone who knew her husband all too well.
“Our son’s education still depends on big brother! We cannot afford to offend him openly, my dear, do you understand what I mean?” Mo Daoyan looked at Madam Ruan and spoke earnestly.
“I understand, how could I not? I slave away every day for the first wife, daring not to make a sound, isn’t it all for the sake of our son’s future?”
“Mm, as long as you understand,” he replied.
Only then did Mo Daoyan relax. He truly feared that Madam Ruan, with a mind as blunt as a pig’s, would blatantly offend Mo Xiaoqiang. If Mo Xiaoqiang became ruthless and insisted on splitting the family and stopped caring for Hengjian’s schooling, his son’s future would be ruined.
Madam Ruan lay in bed, barely able to hide her excitement, her mind ceaselessly plotting how to execute the plan flawlessly.
The next day, rumors swirled throughout the Mo Family Village, all pointing to Auntie Sun, accusing her of being unfaithful and having an affair.
Mo Xiaoqiang, after having breakfast, strolled outside the village and heard plenty of gossip. He returned with a dark expression, looking as if someone owed him several hundred taels of silver and went straight to his room to sleep.
Old Lady Mo came back from outside fuming with anger. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she shouted, “Old man, old man, come out quickly, our family is in big trouble.”
Old Master Mo slowly came out from the house, speaking impatiently, “As long as you don’t cause any trouble, what big problem can our family have?”
“You old fool, I don’t have time to bicker with you, our family is facing a huge scandal, we’re about to lose all face,” she exclaimed.
“What’s the matter? Why so urgent?”
“The whole village is now saying that Auntie Sun, that wretched woman, has a lover outside, elaborating details as if they’ve seen it themselves. How can I not be worried?”
“What’s the use of being anxious? Just call the two of them out and ask. Isn’t that simple?” Old Master Mo said, beginning to feel anxious himself.
Old Lady Mo had just raised her head when she saw Madam Ruan standing at the kitchen door with a schadenfreude expression, watching the excitement. She instantly boiled with rage and yelled at her, “What are you standing there like a log for? Go and bring those two scoundrels out to me right now.”
Early that morning, before dawn, Madam Ruan had run a lap around the village, making a special visit to chat with the women known for being the most gossipy and meddlesome.
Sure enough, by sunrise, the entire village was abuzz with the scandal between Aunt Sun and Butcher Yu.
While Madam Ruan was basking in self-satisfaction over her handiwork, Old Lady Mo scolded her, causing her to pout, “Mother-in-law, why are you taking it out on me? I’m not the one disgracing the Mo family, and I certainly haven’t sneaked around with any man.”
Without another glance at Old Lady Mo, she turned and walked away with a swaying of her ample hips.
