Chapter 584: Chapter 584 Chastity
“Hmm.”
Mo Xiuzhi shyly lowered her head and responded.
Seeing that she agreed, Mo Shaoxing was very happy and fetched a silver tael from his clothing, “Xiuzhi, keep this silver well and use it to buy so dicine for your aunt tomorrow.”
Mo Xiuzhi, who had been worrying about not having silver to buy dicine for her mother tomorrow, was touched by the sight of Mo Shaoxing holding out the silver, “Brother Xing, you are so kind. Helping
at my most difficult ti, I will be grateful to you for my whole life.”
“Silly girl, take it.” Mo Shaoxing took her hand, placed the silver in her palm, and closed it, speaking with deep affection, “Once I pass the Juren exam, I will definitely have my father propose marriage at your ho. Then, we can be together forever.”
“Your father seems to not like .” The words of the village head still lingered in Mo Xiuzhi’s mind, making her worry.
“Don’t worry, my father listens to
the most. If I insist, he will surely not object.”
“Hmm.”
Mo Xiuzhi was finally reassured.
The two of them were affectionate in the room as if no one else existed until Mo Shaoxing took his leave to go back.
Mo Xiuzhi leaned against the door, gazing dreamily at Mo Shaoxing’s fading figure, imagining the day he would pass the Juren exam and take her as his wife. Wouldn’t she then beco an official’s wife, living a life of wealth and worry-free? With these thoughts, a blissful smile spread across her face.
“Xiuzhi, Xiuzhi.”
Suddenly, a faint voice ca from inside the room.
Mo Xiuzhi ca back to her senses and turned around to see her mother.
At that mont, Madam Ruan’s swollen face was hardly recognizable, and her thick lips were slightly quivering, making a faint sound.
“Mother, what’s wrong? Are you in a lot of pain? Don’t be afraid, your daughter will apply the ointnt imdiately, and it will stop hurting soon.” Mo Xiuzhi hurried back to the bedside, picked up the ointnt Doctor Xu had left, and intended to apply it to Madam Ruan.
Unexpectedly, Madam Ruan tightly grasped her hand and asked intermittently, “My girl, just how far have you and Scholar Mo gone? Don’t lie to ; tell
the truth.”
Though Madam Ruan’s words were muffled, Mo Xiuzhi got the gist and suddenly understood. It seed that her conversation with Mo Shaoxing had been overheard by her mother, causing her face to flush instantly.
“Mother.”
“Speak.”
Mo Xiuzhi, with her head lowered, avoiding Madam Ruan’s gaze, answered indirectly, “He said he will marry
in the future.”
“I…I am asking to what extent your relationship has developed?”
“Daughter and Brother Xing love each other dearly, and he said that physical union can deepen our affection even more.” As she said this, Mo Xiuzhi stole a glance at Madam Ruan, who seed to be breathing heavily from anger, obviously very upset. She quickly added, “Mother, don’t worry, Brother Xing promised he will definitely marry .”
Madam Ruan was nearly driven to fury by Mo Xiuzhi’s foolishness. If it weren’t for her excruciating pain, she would have jumped up and slapped so sense into the fool of a daughter, who had been swayed by a man’s honeyed words to lose her virginity. In Moli Country, a woman’s virtue was of utmost importance. If Scholar Mo were to abandon her in the future, she would be unable to find another suitor and would have her entire life ruined.
“You… you… are making
furious.”
“Mother, don’t be angry. With so many wounds on your body, let
apply the ointnt and it will stop hurting in a while.”
Despite being consud with rage, Madam Ruan, covered in injuries, could not go to settle scores with Scholar Mo at that mont. So, she had to lie back down and let her daughter apply the ointnt, planning to deal with Scholar Mo once she had recovered. The scoundrel had dared to lay a hand on her daughter. She would see to it that he wouldn’t get away with it.
