"You have been the most responsible and caring person, Mother," Mo Xifeng still rembered the rainy night when Mo Yan ca to look for her. Because the rain at the Green Moon Dinsion was acidic, Mo Xifeng who had no place to hide or cover herself with anything ended up getting infected with a really deadly infection.
Most of her skin was covered and festered with green algae poison which caused her skin to burn and lt until nothing was left. That night was one of the most painful nights of Mo Xifeng's life, even though she had been thrown away by her father who considered her a piece of baggage, Mo Xifeng had never felt as painful as she did that night.
She still rembered the flesh on her arm getting lted until she could see her bones. The pain that she had felt that night was simply indescribable and Mo Xifeng hoped that she would die without suffering too much. She had begged the heavens if there was one that if possible she would like to die without suffering for long, and just as Mo Xifeng thought that she was going to die——
Her mother had co rushing to her like a saviour. Her own body was drenched with acidic water and she was bleeding heavily, yet Mo Yan had secured her body and returned to the cha ship. From start to end, Mo Yan did not let even a single drop of that acidic rainfall on Mo Xifeng.
All the while muttering comforting words in her ears.
And the worry and frustration in her voice were palpable as Mo Yan had begged the doctors who refused to treat Mo Xifeng just because she was the daughter of an exile. Back then for the sake of getting treatnt for her Mo Yan had shed her pride as the General and knelt in front of a doctor who finally gave in to Mo Yan's continuous and stubborn pleas.
Mo Yan might not be as doting as Wen Gui but she loved her daughters in her own way. Wasn't this the reason why Mo Yan had lowered her head and let those thugs insult her as they wanted she wanted to make sure that Mo Qiang's limbs remained intact.
Even though Mo Yan was heavily disappointed in Mo Qiang because of her tyranny, she lowered her head in front of others but never kicked Mo Qiang out of their family.
She might be a bit rough around the edges but that was because Mo Yan never knew what it ant to have a family. And Mo Xifeng did not bla her mother for that, she was aware of the upbringing that Mo Yan received from her maternal grandparents.
Just the fact that they asked Mo Yan to go ahead and die when she was at her lowest was enough to tell Mo Xifeng, just what kind of people her maternal grandparents were.
"I appreciate your words, Xifeng," Mo Yan smiled at her daughter gently. "…But I cannot say that I am a good mother just because of that."
"I was good a leader but I don't think that I was a good mother," Mo Yan repeated her words as she lightly shook her head and closed her eyes. She then picked up a shoveling robot and turned it on such that she could sow more grape vines in the land that Mo Qiang had expanded. "I am apologetic to Qi Qi for getting her married without her permission. But I don't know how to apologize to her."
She looked at the grape vines that were slowly blooming and sighed, "Maybe I will stay quiet and watch her grow… no matter what even with a mother like , I think Qi Qi grew up well. I have to give credit to Gui Gui for that." She added while scratching her cheek with a sheepish smile.
Mo Xifeng stayed quiet with a sweat drop trickling down her cheek. She did not say anything even though she had a lot to say to her mother.
'Grew up well?' Mo Xifeng closed her eyes with an exasperated expression. The only reason her sister was acting so tad was because her only principle was earning money. The more money she received the happier and calr she would be——
Mo Xifeng rembered the ti when Mo Qiang had to pay taxes to the Imperial Family, the curses that she had uttered against the Imperial Family and the Empress were enough for Mo Qiang's head to be chopped off more than a hundred tis.
Not to ntion the temper tantrum that she had thrown while rolling on the floor like a child while whining about how she did not want to pay taxes. And what followed after paying the taxes was another tantrum as her sister sobbed a river inside the study.
However… Mo Xifeng felt a wave of tiredness wash over her. She shouldn't do such a thing at this mont.
If she were to say sothing like that, then her mother would once again fall into the circle of self-doubt and questioning.
'Hehe, do you an to say that money was a much better teacher for Qi Qi than her mother and father combined?'
Mo Xifeng could already imagine it and decided to shelve the idea of speaking up.
After all, there was nothing wrong with pursuing money, at least it was better than sneaking inside the Imperial Palace and staking her reputation all for the sake of stealing the clothes and accessories used by a certain prince.
Anyway, anything was better than her sister's past actions as long as she did it within the four walls of her house.
"Xifeng,"
Mo Xifeng snapped out of her thoughts as she looked at her mother who was now standing in front of her. Her expression was solemn as she stared at her.
"What do you want to say, mother?" Was there sothing else that her mother wanted her to pay attention to?
