For so reason, Mo Chun, who had initially decided not to marry that scumbag Yao Shengwei, ended up going through with the wedding as planned.
On the day of the wedding, Mo Chun's parents were conspicuously absent from the ceremony.
This struck many as odd at the ti.
But what was even stranger was that Mo Chun showed no signs of hesitation throughout the entire event, quickly completing all the wedding rituals.
The couple didn’t even attend the banquet. Once the ceremony was over, the bride and groom disappeared.
Many people joked that the newlyweds were so deeply in love that they couldn’t wait until nightfall to consummate their marriage.
And so, the base remained peaceful for half a month.
Then, one day, the Yao Family suddenly announced that Mo Chun and Mo Xing’s parents had both died in an accident, and that the Yao Family would now take over the entire central base.
This sudden turn of events left many in shock.
Although the base had always been jointly managed by the Yao and Mo Families, the Mo Family had always been the backbone of the operation.
While everyone was surprised and uncomfortable with the change, there wasn’t much they could say.
The Yao Family had always been one of the main governing families, and now the Mo Family was left with only two siblings—Mo Chun and her younger brother Mo Xing, who was still a child. With Mo Chun married to Yao Shengwei, it seed only natural for the Yao Family to take over.
Moreover, Mo Chun had been present when the announcent was made.
She had kept her head down the entire ti, offering no objections.
Though so of the Mo Family’s supporters were displeased, they had no choice but to keep their mouths shut.
A few days later, rumors spread that Mo Chun had gone mad, unable to cope with the loss of her parents.
Her younger brother, Mo Xing, ran away from ho once again.
It was only then that people realized they hadn’t seen the Mo siblings around the base for quite so ti.
Everyone felt sorry for the kind and gentle Mo Family’s eldest daughter.
How could she have gone mad so suddenly?
It seed like misfortune never ca alone.
As for Mo Xing’s disappearance, people weren’t too surprised.
After all, this wasn’t the first ti he had run away from the base on his own.
At first, everything seed normal, and aside from feeling pity for the siblings, no one noticed anything unusual.
But then, so ti later, a group of won suddenly arrived at the base and took the “mad” Mo Family’s eldest daughter away.
That night, chaos erupted throughout the base.
Everyone mobilized, searching house by house, both inside and outside the base, determined to find Mo Chun.
After all, the Mo Family had done many favors for the people of the base.
Now, Mo Chun was the only remaining mber of the family.
Even though she had gone mad, no one wanted anything bad to happen to her.
But after a night of searching, she was nowhere to be found.
Two days later, sothing strange happened.
One morning, everyone woke up to find crumpled pieces of paper scattered all over the streets of the base and even outside its walls.
Curious, people picked them up and read the contents.
What they found shocked everyone.
The papers claid that the Yao Family had poisoned Mo Chun’s parents, held them captive, and used them as leverage to force Mo Chun to go through with the wedding.
After the wedding, they had continued to hold Mo Chun captive.
The antidote they had promised to give her parents was never delivered, and they had even threatened the siblings’ lives, forcing their parents to commit suicide.
The Yao Family had then lied, claiming their deaths were accidental.
As for Mo Xing, he hadn’t run away—he had been fleeing for his life.
Why hadn’t Mo Chun spoken up when the Yao Family announced their takeover of the base?
Because the despicable Yao Family had threatened her with her brother’s safety, forcing her to keep silent.
She hadn’t gone mad, either.
The Yao Family had been laying the groundwork for her eventual death, making it seem less abrupt when they announced it later.
The contents of the papers were identical, and there were so many of them.
Although the Yao Family imdiately ordered the papers to be confiscated and banned anyone from reading them, the news slowly spread throughout the base.
It seed the Yao Family had anticipated that the Mo Family’s supporters would eventually rebel, so they had quietly dismantled the Mo Family’s core influence beforehand.
So people had even been forced to leave the base.
But no one had realized it at the ti.
It was only when the papers appeared that people connected the dots and realized the Yao Family had been playing a long ga.
Though many were disgusted by their actions, most were too afraid to resist or leave, especially those with families to support.
After hearing the full story from the group, Yun Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but frown.
If Mo Chun had listened to her and killed that scumbag Yao Shengwei earlier, would things have turned out differently?
As for the group of won who had caused the turning point, Yun Xiaoxiao guessed they were likely Huang Yan and her companions from Mo City.
“Do you know where the Mo siblings are now? Any news?” she asked.
The group shook their heads.
“No idea. We haven’t heard anything.”
“These matters aren’t sothing us lowly folks can easily find out.”
“But I’ve heard the Yao Family has sent people out to search for them.”
Though Yun Xiaoxiao felt sympathy for the Mo siblings’ plight, she wasn’t one to ddle in others’ affairs.
She had her own problems to deal with and didn’t have the ti to worry about others.
Once she had learned what she wanted to know, she returned to her original spot by the fire.
It was only then that she noticed all the roasted at was gone!
Qu Xiaobei, along with Little Cutie and Little Eagle, all turned to look at her in unison, their mouths sared with grease.
“Xiaoxiao, I didn’t an to steal the food. It’s just that these two were so quick, and I barely managed to grab the last piece. Do you want it?”
Qu Xiaobei held out a piece of at she had already taken a bite out of, offering it to Yun Xiaoxiao.
Though she asked if Yun Xiaoxiao wanted it, her eyes betrayed her reluctance.
Her gaze was practically glued to the at.
Yun Xiaoxiao’s lips twitched.
“No—”
Before she could finish, Qu Xiaobei quickly pulled the at back and stuffed it into her mouth.
With a mouthful of food, she grinned happily and said, “I knew you wouldn’t want it, Xiaoxiao.”
Yun Xiaiao: ……
She swore to herself that from now on, whoever wanted to eat could roast their own food.
If they wanted her to cook for them, they could forget it!
That night, the two groups stayed peacefully in their respective spots.
The next morning, the other group bid farewell and left.
Yun Xiaoxiao and Qu Xiaobei packed up and set off as well.
But to her surprise, they ran into Yao Shengwei along the way.
From a distance, they saw him passionately kissing a woman.
The woman wasn’t Mo Chun, nor was it Mo Chun’s cousin, with whom he had previously cheated. It was a completely unfamiliar woman.
His subordinates had all turned their backs, deliberately looking away.
