Chapter 464: 464, Extrely Yin Night (11) (First Update)
Zheng Chuyi remained in her red dress.
Her complexion was a weak white, pitifully frail, easily stirring protective instincts in others.
Compared to her ti at the Mo family, she seed much thinner.
Yet the words she spoke were so piercing.
The Mo family matriarch sat uncomfortably, reached for the teacup before her, took a sip to conceal her emotions.
"Chuyi, I, along with your little auntie, ca to see you," Mo Feixue chided playfully, "you really are sothing, leaving for such a long ti without ever thinking to visit us."
Zheng Chuyi started with a light cough, then glanced at the Mo family matriarch before slowly beginning to speak, "Feixue sis, you know the situation between Zhixuan and , and besides, Auntie Mo... might have so misunderstandings about . Moreover, Zhixuan now has a fiancée, so it wouldn’t be appropriate for
to disturb them."
Her voice was still gentle, a single sentence laden with many layers of aning.
Mo Feixue responded with a smile, "Look at what you’re saying. We’re all one family. To speak like that is just too formal. Today, I ca to take you back ho with us."
"Back ho?" Zheng Chuyi lifted her gaze in surprise, "Feixue sis, what do you an by that?"
Mo Feixue continued, "Chuyi, as the Mo family’s eldest daughter-in-law, you should naturally return with us to the Mo ho. How can you stay at Mu Bai’s place indefinitely? If this gets out to the Superpower World, what will people say, that our Mo family has no rules?"
Mo Feixue’s words were already very clear, yet Zheng Chuyi still appeared to not understand, "Feixue sis, don’t tease . My engagent with Zhixuan was canceled long ago; he has found his true love now, and I will wish him happiness."
Zheng Chuyi spoke with an air of magnanimity, as if she truly had let go of all the past grievances.
anwhile, the Mo family matriarch had been silent, quietly listening.
Mo Feixue ran her fingers through her hair, "Chuyi, you can’t talk like that. Your marriage to Zhixuan is destined by fate, and how can it be called off just like that? In this world, apart from you, no one else is qualified to marry Zhixuan, to beco a part of the Mo family. Could it be that you no longer like Zhixuan?"
Zheng Chuyi’s face showed hesitation, she seed on the verge of speaking but stopped herself, "I... "
"All right, all right," Mo Feixue stood, walked over to Zheng Chuyi, and patted her on the shoulder, "Let bygones be bygones. Just co back with
and your little auntie. Zhixuan is waiting for you at ho."
"This..." Zheng Chuyi first glanced at Mo Feixue, then turned her gaze to the Mo family matriarch, "I’m afraid that’s not quite appropriate, Auntie Mo... "
"Your little auntie is very eager for you to co back with us; otherwise, she wouldn’t have co with
to fetch you. Isn’t that right, little auntie?" Mo Feixue concluded the sentence by looking up at the Mo family matriarch, deftly tossing the topic to her.
A few seconds of silence filled the air.
Nobody spoke.
A touch of scorn flashed in the lowered eyes of Zheng Chuyi.
She hadn’t expected the once high and mighty Mo family matriarch to have such a day.
The taste of swallowing one’s own teeth along with the blood must not be pleasant, right?
This was only the beginning.
The main event was yet to co.
She would slowly deal with each one of those who had once humiliated her, without exception.
She would make them rember forever who the true winner was!
The Mo family matriarch composedly placed her teacup on the table before speaking softly, "Feixue is right, Chuyi. Co back with us." Her voice carried a hint of weariness.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Chuyi curved her lips discreetly, "Auntie Mo, what did you say? I didn’t catch that, could you please repeat it?"
The Mo family matriarch’s voice had been neither loud nor soft—Zheng Chuyi could not have failed to hear. This act was simply ant to trouble her further.
Since the Mo family matriarch had made that decision, the mother-daughter bond between them had been severed.
Therefore, Zheng Chuyi had no qualms about openly breaking with the Mo family matriarch.
In the future, the entire Three Realms would be hers; who would she need to fear?
Who said that Mo Zhixuan could accept no one but her?
Who said that she was the only True Destiny Maiden of the Bloodline of Fire Bathing in the entire Three Realms?
She had every right to be proud.
Hadn’t the Mo family matriarch been so arrogant before? In the end, she still had to beg her with a lowered voice.
How exhilarating it truly was.
The person before her was indeed the little girl she had brought up with her own hands.
An incredulous expression surfaced in the weathered eyes of the Mo family matriarch, her anger hard to contain, but thinking of Mo Zhixuan, she could only swallow her pride and remain silent.
"Chuyi," the Mo family matriarch raised her voice, "co back with ."
Zheng Chuyi gracefully lifted the cup containing the tea dregs, gently blowing away the tea foam on the surface, "Auntie Mo, I’m really sorry, I recently caught a cold and haven’t been feeling well, so my thinking is a bit sluggish. I didn’t quite catch what you just said. Could you please repeat it?"
Zheng Chuyi’s voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough to reach every corner of the room.
The irony in her tone was unmistakably clear.
Mo Feixue, standing beside Zheng Chuyi, had no intention of easing the tension.
On the contrary, she was watching the drama unfold with relish.
In her eyes, this was all the fault of the Mo family matriarch.
If it weren’t for the old Mrs. Mo’s senility in driving Zheng Chuyi away, would there even be such an issue?
She should indeed be taught a lesson.
Otherwise, she would never stop taking advantage of her age to exert authority.
She would never realize where she had gone wrong.
The old Mrs. Mo, who had weathered many storms, maintained her composure and slightly raised her voice, "Chuyi, co back with . It was my fault before."
Since she had already taken this step, she wasn’t going to back down.
For the sake of the Mo family and for Mo Zhixuan.
Zheng Chuyi curled the corner of her lips and took a sip of tea, "I’m sorry, I still didn’t catch that. Auntie Mo, you’re getting on in years and can’t speak clearly, please say it again."
The old Mrs. Mo lifted her gaze to et Zheng Chuyi’s eyes, "Co back with ."
Engaging with Zheng Chuyi in a battle of wits at this ti was not a wise decision.
The Mo family, and so people, were waiting for her redemption.
"Go back?" Zheng Chuyi’s lips curled into an undisguised sneer, "Auntie Mo, do you think I can still return? That day at the Mo family, the heartless words you said to —didn’t you consider today?"
"If you want
to go back with you, that’s fine," Zheng Chuyi said pityingly after looking the old lady up and down, "Beg , beg
and I will go back with you."
Holding her chin up proudly.
Arrogant in stance.
Clothed in red, mocking soone or other.
"Zheng Chuyi, aren’t you just bored?" A crisp female voice rang through the air, "To treat an elderly person like this! And they call you the foremost beauty; I think the people of the Superpower World must be blind! With your manner, you’re called the foremost beauty? What a joke! It seems your upbringing has gone to the dogs!"
"Old lady, don’t be afraid, I’m here; that Zheng won’t dare to bully you!" Shangguan Xiaoxiao stood right beside the old Mrs. Mo.
The old Mrs. Mo gave her a kind smile.
Possibly due to Shangguan Xiaoxiao’s status, Zheng Chuyi did not dare to be insolent but rely frowned in disgust, "Miss Shangguan, this is a matter between Auntie Mo and ; it has nothing to do with you. Please don’t ddle like a dog trying to catch mice."
The implication was that she was being nosy.
Mo Feixue incredulously turned her gaze toward Shangguan Xiaoxiao and gently tugged at Zheng Chuyi’s sleeve, signaling her to stop.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao was soone she recognized.
This person was not to be offended.
"Miss Shangguan, I think you must be misunderstanding," Mo Feixue said with a beaming smile, "My aunt and Chuyi are as close as mother and daughter, how could Chuyi possibly bully her? We were just joking around. Isn’t that right, Chuyi?"
Zheng Chuyi replied with a forced smile, "Right, just a joke. Why are you taking it so seriously, Miss Shangguan? The venerable matriarch of the Mo family, who could possibly bully her so easily?"
"Old lady, are they really not bullying you?" Shangguan Xiaoxiao had been standing outside the door for a long ti and had heard the entire conversation inside.
It was sheer endurance that made her step forward.
"My dear child, thank you," the old Mrs. Mo said calmly, "They really haven’t bullied . Don’t worry, this old woman is not so easily bullied by anyone."
"...Okay then, old lady, don’t be afraid. If they dare to bully you, just tell . I’ll take care of them for you." Since the old lady was not willing to say more, it wasn’t Shangguan Xiaoxiao’s place to intervene too much in others’ family affairs.
The old Mrs. Mo had been away from the Superpower World for a long ti and did not recognize Shangguan Xiaoxiao, nor did she know her status.
She nodded with a smile, "Good."
With that said, the old Mrs. Mo raised her gaze again toward Zheng Chuyi, "Chuyi, are you willing to co back with
now?"
Zheng Chuyi looked at Shangguan Xiaoxiao, a deep hatred flashing in her eyes, thinking of how she would deal with this little wretch after she unified the three realms.
"Since Auntie Mo has personally asked, I will go back with you," she said. This matter wasn’t over.
But with Shangguan Xiaoxiao present, she couldn’t act too excessively. Once at the Mo family, she would settle the score with the old Mrs. Mo and Mo Qingyi.
