Chapter 140 - RetributionBefore he could open his mouth, Mo Xie let out a cold laugh.
"Second Madame, what are you saying? I have some understanding of Second Aunt, but you alone won"t have the guts to find someone to a.s.sa.s.sinate me."
"Yes, yes, yes, I never wanted to hurt you. "I never thought that..."
Li Rong stood at the side and was no longer calm, Mo Lianhuan was obviously pointing her spearhead at him, trying to lure Hua Lan to reveal her ident.i.ty.
Mo Long asked as he was lost in thought.
"But Second Aunt, that day in the Purple Bamboo Forest, the a.s.sa.s.sin revealed that he was ordered by you to a.s.sa.s.sinate me. How should I explain this?"
Helian Yi stared at Mo Liangyi meaningfully, his s.e.xy lips slightly curled up. He truly was a woman that Helian Yi had taken a fancy to. He was smart, decisive, and wise!Flower Orchid hastily replied:
"It wasn"t me. I didn"t want to kill you. It was … It was … It was his sister! Little Sister, she forced me to do this. "
With that, Hua Lan pointed at Li Rong and insisted that she was the one to order her.Mo Sheng looked at Li Rong in disappointment, waiting for her to explain. Li Rong gave a calm laugh, then asked Flower Orchid,
"Elder sister, you have to rely on your conscience to speak! When did I tell you to kill someone? The whole house knows not which, I have seen ants around the circle, how can you be ordered to a.s.sa.s.sinate? Besides, will you listen to me?
Seeing Li Rong leave him alone, Hua Orchid"s heart was filled with hatred as she angrily berated:
Elder sister, it was you who personally told me that Xie Long is not the old master"s blood and bones. It was you who told me that Xie Long was not the old master"s blood and flesh, it was you who told me Qing Er and Jing King were …. You induced me to send a stalker to the bamboo forest, to make her disappear from this world. Promise me that when you"ve completed your task, you"ll treat my Xiang"er well when you"re seated as the wife of General Mo"s estate! Now that you have completely abandoned yourself, are you not afraid of thunder and lightning? "
With that, she crawled to Mo Sheng"s feet, knelt in front of him, and wailed,
"Master, it was elder sister who came to the Zither Garden the night before your wedding to use Xiang"er"s life to force your concubine. But little sister has repeatedly used Xiang"er to force Chenqie to set up a trap for her. Chenqie has also grown tired after so many years, I just hope that old master can take care of Xiang"er for the sake of Chenqie serving you for so many years, and give her a way out of this predicament. "
Flower Orchid glanced at Li Rong in despair. She took out a dagger from somewhere and stabbed towards her heart while no one was looking.
Mo Xiang watched helplessly as his mother died before his eyes. Because of fear, fear, he could only blankly stand there and cover his mouth as he cried, not daring to move an inch.
She still remembered how her mother had worriedly told her two days ago, "Mother, I"m afraid …" After this, I won"t be able to take care of you anymore. Mother knows things that she shouldn"t know and will leave you sooner or later. Live well and don"t think about taking revenge for your mother. "
Tears flowed down his face drop by drop, and Mo Xiang"s throat felt extremely uncomfortable. Her mother was gone, killed by Mo Li and Third Madame. One day, she would make them all pay the price they deserved!
This scene scared Li Rong silly. She would never have imagined that Hua Lan would die just like that!Seeing this, Helian Yi ordered the people to drag the flower orchids down. He stood up and wrapped Mo Xie in his arms, not wanting to let her stay here any longer, he coldly said to Mo Sheng:
"This King is unwilling to even harm a single hair on her body for this king"s woman. General Mo, you better give this king an explanation for this matter!"
Li Rong plopped onto the ground as she stared in front of her in a daze. She knew that she had no way out!
When she heard Mo Sheng coldly order "Take Second Aunt away," her heart sank to the bottom. After struggling to break free from her captors, Li Rong looked up at Mo Long with a tearful yet not smiling expression.
"Little b.i.t.c.h. People, don"t be arrogant! One day, you will get your retribution! Brother and sister chaos, Lun … Ugh … "Ugh …" Before he could finish his words, Helian Yi had already pointed at his mute acupoint.Helian Yi ordered angrily, "Take him down!"
Li Rong"s frightened eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness. She struggled and roared until her figure disappeared from the lobby.
Mo Sheng clenched his fists as he sat down at the head of the table. He looked much older than before. Or many years ago, he shouldn"t have brought Mo Li up as an adult so that he could become the man he is today.
Although Li Rong was willful, she had always been by her side waiting on her wholeheartedly all these years. Unexpectedly, Mo Sheng lost two of his beloved women in a single day because of a single Mo Xie. And his poor Dye, Li"er.
Mo Sheng"s eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Helian Yi. His adam"s apple moved and he asked in a hoa.r.s.e voice,
"Your Highness, this old subject has a presumptuous request, I wonder if Your Highness can agree to it."Helian Yi cast a sidelong glance at Mo Xie and nodded at Mo Sheng. "General Mo, please speak frankly."
"Li"er, she …"
Helian Yi laughed coldly in his heart, his deep eyes staring at Mo Li. Seeing this, Mo Sheng got up and walked over to Mo Li, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Long, long, long. No matter what, Li"er is still your second sister. Although she did something wrong, she"s not going to die. Just let her live on account of how father dotes on you for so many years, right?"
"Father, if second sister knows her wrongs and can correct them, I will naturally let her off." However, if she is stubborn, I will not leave any trouble for myself. "
Mo Liu was warning everyone in the General Mo Estate that if there really came a day when someone from the General"s Estate tried to kill her, she wouldn"t mind destroying the entire General"s Estate!
As Mo Sheng heard the tone of Mo Li"s voice, he thought of Nangong Nuolan who had sent Mo Xie into General Mo"s mansion. The similarity in their eyes, as well as the aura they exuded, made people feel fear and terror.
After sending Helian Yi and Mo Xie off, Mo Sheng turned around and looked at the sobbing Mo Xiang who was kneeling on the ground. He let out a long sigh before helping her up and meaningfully said to her:
"Xiang"er, you"re the calmest and most sensible out of all these children." Listen to your father and forget about what your mother told you! He forgot everything. There are some things that we can"t control. Be obedient and become the third lady of General Mo"s estate, if you have the chance in the future, Father will send you to the empress"s side. With the empress"s protection, you won"t be bullied anymore. "Sigh …"
Mo Xiang listened attentively to Mo Sheng"s words. After a long time, she lifted her eyes, tears had already blurred her clear eyes.
"Xiang"er will definitely remember father"s teachings."After Mo Sheng left, Mo Xiang looked at his slightly hunched back and tightly clenched the corner of his robe. She wanted to climb up. Only by climbing up would she become strong and avenge his mother!
