"You want to follow Mo Qiang's plan?" Mo Li looked at Mo Xifeng, who ca to look for her in the middle of the night. She was planning on sending her daughters to another academy but before she could decide which academy she wanted to send her daughters to, Mo Xifeng ca to look for her.
She raised her head and stopped rubbing her forehead before saying to Mo Xifeng, "Do you even understand what you are saying? If we wait for Mo Qiang, then Mo Wan and Mo Qi will lose their precious ti. This is their only chance to get admitted into another academy."
"Even if you send them to another academy, do you think that they would be able to get the sa resources? It will be a waste of their ti anyway," responded Mo Xifeng. She stared at her aunt and stated with a determined expression, "The resources that they can receive at their current academy, I don't think that they will be able to get these resources in their next academy. Don't forget Aunt. This academy is the only one that is supported by the royal family."
Mo Li hesitated when she heard Mo Xifeng's words. Indeed, if this academy was not supported by the royal academy, then she wouldn't have wasted so much ti and effort to make sure that Mo Wan could continue studying in this academy.
But she didn't want her daughters to be bullied! If she had known that such a thing would happen, she would have accepted the position of headmistress when she was offered. Back then, Mo Li was worried that if she dared to take the position of the headmistress, she would attract more attention to the Mo family, as Mo Yan was exiled just a few weeks ago.
Thus, she refused without thinking.
If only she had known that her daughters would be bullied in such a way, she would have taken over the position. At the sa ti, her eyes flashed, and a sudden thought ca to her mind. Back then she and Madam Du were fighting for the sa resources, and she was more popular than Madam Du.
If not for the fact that her sister was suddenly sched against and exiled, Mo Li would have been the one to beco the headmistress. She was sure that Headmistress Du still rembered it. This might be the reason why she allowed her daughters to be bullied without even trying to help them and show them the slightest consideration.
Childish! And pathetic!
"And you think that Wan Wan and Qi'er will be able to continue studying in this academy if I listen to Qi Qi?" Mo Li knew that her niece had changed but she still hesitated. What if Mo Qiang was planning to harm her daughters? She still hadn't forgotten how Mo Qiang looked at her when she begged Mo Yan to let go of her daughters.
It was the kind of gaze that turned her blood cold. Like a viper waiting to strike.
"I know that it is hard to believe but Aunt Li, do you have any other choice?" Mo Xifeng questioned with a sombre expression. "As long as you listened to my sister, you will at least have a chance to reclaim what you lost."
"But—"
"Aunt, even if you cannot trust my sister, then you might as well trust . Or is it that you cannot accept either? Back in the Yu Dinsion, my sister was insulted far worse than Wan Wan had done, and she still saved the lives of those who were in danger. She even put her life at risk to save the lives of others. Do you think that soone who was willing to die for others would do such a thing as taking revenge for sothing that happened ages ago?"
"She is the one who helped Mother repay the debt that had nothing to do with her. And that's not all; my sister has been looking after our family without caring about her own safety. I don't think she would do anything to harm you or your daughters unless they provoked her first."
Mo Li's expression changed again and again when she heard the words of Mo Xifeng.
She interlocked her fingers and pursed her lips before turning to look outside the window that showed the pieces of dry land that were stretching over the vast fief.
Indeed, Mo Li knew that Mo Qiang was not lying when she said that she had everything under control. It was just that,
"I know that you will not harm , Xifeng. It's just that it's hard for to accept the fact that Qi Qi—that girl who liked to drink and caused so much trouble—had turned into such a reliable person."
Mo Li held her hand in front of her and sighed. "It's really hard to accept given that she had caused so much trouble. I really cannot believe that she did so many good things."
"I do agree that she was stupid and arrogant even though she was nothing but trash."
"I won't call her trash but I do admit that she was a deadbeat."
"You can just be honest and say that it was impossible to admit that she was even a human being in the past."
Mo Qiang, who was listening to everything: "..."
Thank you for such extre praise.
Mo Li then glanced at Mo Xifeng before saying in a rough voice, "What do you think, Xifeng? Do you really think that soone can change so much just because they have lost their mories?
She thought about it a little and then explained why she was suspicious. "Don't get wrong; it's not that I am saying that Qi Qi cannot change. It's just that I have been involved in a study. According to the study, though these patients had changed a little, they were still the sa. Their true essence remained the sa."
Mo Xifeng paused when she heard the words of her aunt before replying,
"If I am being honest, I sotis believe that woman is not my sister."
