Chapter 351 - Old Madam Rudely Insists On Moving Objects (2/2)
Obviously only Old Madam’s servants would vouch that she gave money to Old Sir for the purchase of those items. Since Old Sir was not around, only Old Madam’s words mattered. Furthermore, she was the concubine-mother of Father and her insistence on the matter made it hard for Mo Xuetong to reject.
Mo Xueyan and Old Madam insisted as they knew that Mo Xuetong had to give in. The two of them had eyes that spoke of their arrogance.
“Tong’er, if so… let them move.” Xu Yan pulled on Mo Xuetong’s sleeves and whispered out of concern. It was detrimental to Mo Xuetong’s reputation if she argued with her grandmother. It would not be worth it to ruin one’s reputation for a few objects, especially since Old Madam’s words were the most decisive ones in Old Sir’s absence.
They had to take the loss silently!
However, Mo Xuetong did not want to suffer this loss. She was unwilling to let the unkind Old Madam get what she wanted.
For some people, retreating repeatedly would merely increase their momentum in bullying you, making them swallow your whole in the end. That’s how she suffered in her previous life, and she would not allow that to happen in this life.
“I asked your father to buy those objects for me. I wanted to live here for a long while, but I didn’t expect…” Old Madam shook her head as if she didn’t want to say anything. “Since your second uncle brought me over, I should treat him better and give them those things!”
She was criticizing Father for chasing her out. As a concubine mother, she would naturally want to spend time with her birth son compared to a legitimate son born by the wife. That made no sense even if Mo Huawen was grateful to Old Madam.
But now, her words made the arrangement seem logical, and Mo Xuetong respected Old Madam’s ability to spin tales!
“Did grandma say that she bought everything in that room?” She had no intention to listen to Old Madam’s accusation of her father, merely replying calmly.
“When grandma and I came here, there was nothing inside and we brought the things one by one. Of course, they all belonged to grandma. Could it be that third sister was unable to let go of these objects? With your status now, you surely are not interested in our grandmother’s belongings!” Mo Xueyan retorted cleverly as a simmer of malice flashed across her eyes. She knew that it would be easy to enter the inner garden with grandmother’s help.
How could they possibly live here if nothing was inside when they moved over!
Xu Yan could not endure their accusations anymore and replied, “Old Sir did know that Old Madam was going to enter the manor. How was she going to live if the room was empty!” She was not someone who was timid and scared, but as a stepmother who just entered the manor and who knew nothing about the situation, she thought that she should minimize the impact of the matter. However, Mo Xueyan became ruder and ruder, not only spinning up lies, but also secretly accusing Old Sir of being unfilial.
“Even if there was anything, it was only a bed.” Mo Xueyan knew she exaggerated too much, but she bit her tongue and insisted.
“Girl Yan, stop with that irrelevant information. Bring someone to move those things.” Old Madam stared at Mo Xueyan and ordered her.
Since she already gave the orders, any disobedience would mean that Mo Manor was at fault! Even with the position of a princess, Mo Xuetong dared not be unfilial.
She hid the cold disdain in her eyes as she lowered her head as if she had nothing to say. Mo Xueyan straightened her body proudly as she smiled arrogantly at Mo Xuetong, bringing the group of nannies in aggressively. Mo Xuetong followed in after with her nannies.
The group walked towards Old Madam’s garden. She didn’t live far away as the garden was specially prepared for her in consideration of her old age and the winter weather, with the main door facing the south direction. Afterward, Old Madam was chased out and the place was left vacant. Ever since Xu Yan entered the manor, she left only one or two servants to clear the place as no one was living there, moving everyone else away.
The garden was long empty!
The large crowd came over, making the empty garden immediately lively.
Someone had taken out the nanmu wood chair from inside to flatter Old Madam, asking her to sit. Mo Xueyan rushed in excitedly, unable to contain her happiness as she touched the objects inside. Those things were all priceless objects unable to be bought from the marketplace, a four-legged sofa made from white jade, scented b.a.l.l.s with patterns of precious creatures weaved from pomegranate flowers, a golden bomb with patterns of the jade flower birth, a sapphire bamboo cup…
Any single item was better than those in the marketplace! That made Mo Xueyan drool happily!
She could finally move these objects to her own house, and that little b.i.t.c.h Mo Xuetong could say nothing to that!
Mo Xuetong followed over as she glanced at Mo Xueyan’s greedy face, snickering inside her heart. Mo Lan came over secretly and whispered to Mo Xuetong before standing behind her.
Mo Xueyan’s nannies were now already moving Mo Xueyan’s objects and clearing them out. They moved them to the field while Xu Yan and a few servants were tending Old Madam outside. After all, Mo Huawen was grateful to Old Madam and they had to treat her well.
With that incident, any sensible person would be too shameful to come over. However, she came here to s.n.a.t.c.h her son’s objects!
Of course, any sensible old lady would not commit such an act. Mo Xuetong was completely disappointed in her. Seeing Mo Xueyan proudly pointed at the objects to have people move them out one by one made Mo Xuetong speechless.
It was impossible for this ridiculous grandma and this ridiculous granddaughter to be not from the same family!
Two nannies were moving a flower rack that Mo Xueyan liked, with Old Madam’s bed behind. A nanny was in front and a nanny was behind. However, one of them swayed and fell, pouncing on the flower rack. With the sounds of “boom”, “crash” and “ouch”, a few nannies fell down, and an object dropped on the ground before everyone’s eyes.
