Chapter 571: Rouge Waited for 7 Years
Mrs. Mo wants to go with Mo Qingwan?
Of course, she did think about it. But she was still the nominal eldest lady of the Mo family. Apart from divorce, she could not think of any other way to leave the Mo family with dignity.
But if she sent Mo Qingwan away, would the head of the Mo family allow her to divorce? No. Not to mention divorce, he wouldn't even divorce her.
Only by keeping Madam Mo here can the head of the Mo family continue to waste her time and torture her, and vent his anger today.
The Mo family does not need a mistress, and the head of the Mo family does not need a gentle and virtuous wife. This is a fact that Mrs. Mo has long understood.
Mrs. Mo and Mo Qingwan both saw the current situation clearly, but Mo Qingwan seemed to have turned into that stubborn little girl again, insisting that her mother escape with her.
Her hopeful eyes made Mrs. Mo's heart ache.
"Don't make trouble..." Mrs. Mo seemed to coax her like she did when they were children. Her voice was soft, but her movements were not light. She actually held Mo Qingwan's wrists with one hand.
"Mother..." Mo Qingwan didn't know whether her wrist or her heart hurt more, "No, no... We can always find a way, please don't be like this..."
She said there was a way, but her heart was full of despair.
What else could she do? The arrow was on the string, the matter was a foregone conclusion. Whether she married today or not, the result would be the same when Mo's father returned.
"Wan'er understands it all, doesn't she?" Madam Mo still held her hands tightly, her eyes full of determination, and lowered her voice and said, "Between mother and you, either you leave this den of wolves and tigers, or we...die here together."
Mo Qingwan understood, and also understood the difference between dying one and dying together.
What is the meaning of freedom that can be exchanged for mother?
She had regretted it once and didn't want to regret it a second time.
"I don't..." She shook her head in pain and struggled hard, but the red still fell accurately on her forehead.
When the cold fingers touched her forehead, she couldn't help but shiver.
That touch of makeup was dazzling red, eye-catching red, and as red as blood.
Mo Qingwan was stunned for a moment, then struggled to break free from Madam Mo's control almost like a madman, and wiped her forehead with her sleeve, trying to wipe away the most sincere blessing she had received that day.
"Do not--"
"No! I don't want to—"
"Wan'er, your makeup is ready." Mrs. Mo gave her one last look.
The scene of her daughter's wedding was completely different from what she had imagined many years ago, but fortunately, she was faced with a smooth road ahead.
This is enough.
Madam Mo turned around, wiped away the warm tears from her eyes, and whispered, "Madam Wu, give the dowry to the young lady. I am a little tired."
The dark brown lacquered wooden box fell into Mo Qingwan's arms, so heavy that she could hardly lift her hands.
She didn't want to take it, but Nanny Wu practically threw the wooden box into her arms. If she didn't take it, it would fall to the ground and break into pieces.
She didn't want Madam Mo to leave either, even though she couldn't think of a better way. But she still couldn't face what was about to happen. She couldn't even push away the maids who were blocking her way.
"Mother, mother, don't go..."
There was another person who didn't want Madam Mo to leave just like her.
"Sister-in-law, are you just leaving like this?" Mo Er bit his cheek and stopped Madam Mo's way. "My niece just said that she didn't want to get married, why did you force her to get married?"
Now that Mo Qingwan is no longer her weak link, how could Mrs. Mo be afraid of a half-brother from her husband's family?
Even though she was as thin as a stick and didn't have the strength to yell loudly, the words she said still left no room for Mo Er to argue: "It's the parents' order and the matchmaker's words. This marriage was originally decided many years ago, but it's just been put on hold for the time being. I'm your biological mother, so I can certainly help my daughter. I hope you don't interfere in the affairs of the legitimate family."
Shen Zheng asked who Mo Qingwan's personality resembled, and it turned out to be Mrs. Mo. Both mother and daughter spoke with a soft knife that could cut people's throats.
"You..." This time, Mo Er didn't even want to call her sister-in-law.
But what Mrs. Mo said made sense. Whether his niece got married or not actually had little to do with him as an uncle. But he couldn't let Mo Qingwan leave like this. He had to think of a way...
He thought for a moment and then his eyes fell on the people around him.
Got it!
Mo Er opened his eyes slightly and clapped his hands: "Fellow villagers, neighbors! Please give us your opinions! I'm sure many of you here are parents. Tell me, would you like your children to have a pre-marriage? Isn't this destroying people's happiness?"
Shen Zheng, who was standing at the forefront of the crowd, raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
I have to say that Mo Er is still quite clever and is a master at manipulating public opinion.
The common people were unaware of the Mo family's private despicable deeds. They only knew that there was something wrong with Miss Mo and Madam Mo today - one of them started to make a fuss about getting married, but suddenly changed her mind and refused to get married, while the other one dragged her sick body to get married with some makeup.
No matter how you look at it, this matter seems wrong and weird.
The confused people could only answer according to their own inner thoughts: "Who doesn't want their children to have a good marriage? Of course, they would rather avoid a marriage that is not auspicious..."
Once this was said, most of the people agreed.
Mo Er nodded, and just as he was about to smile and continue to "control public opinion", a female voice suddenly came: "It is difficult for an honest official to judge family affairs, and every family has its own problems. Whether the marriage is good or bad, we, the bystanders, can tell clearly. After all, we are just bystanders. Who doesn't live behind closed doors in the end? You'd better not criticize what happened today."
Shen Zheng suddenly spoke, scaring the fat aunt.
Seeing that several people involved were looking over, the fat aunt quickly pulled her sleeve and said, "Girl, are you confused? Miss Mo doesn't want to get married again!"
Shen Zheng looked at Mo Qingwan after hearing this. The two of them stared at each other through the curtain. She asked her, "Don't you want to...?"
Just as the mother and daughter had whispered just now, if Mo Qingwan did not get married today, both of them would die in the Mo family.
If Mo Qingwan was more sober and left the Mo family first, the situation might have been able to turn around.
Shen Zheng's tone was full of doubt. Before Mo Qingwan could answer, Mo Er could no longer stand.
He raised his finger and pointed at Shen Zheng, angrily scolding: "What are you talking about, little girl? What do you know? You yourself said, 'others should not give too much advice', and now you are rashly giving advice on my Mo family's affairs, what does that mean?"
Mo Er was also good at picking on the weak - he judged people by their clothes. Although Shen Zheng's clothes were neat, they were all common among the people. A girl dressed like this could be a girl from a small family at best.
Shen Zheng, a girl from a "small family", spread her hands innocently: "I'm pointing out the direct descendants of the Mo family, not the collateral branches..."
Direct line, collateral line.
Legitimate son, illegitimate son.
Mo Er's heart was stabbed again and again today.
He, "Master Mo Er", had lived for most of his life, but today, he could be criticized by a yellow-haired girl!
He couldn't do anything about Mo Qingwan and Mo Li, but was there nothing he could do about this yellow-haired girl who spoke so arrogantly?
