Chapter 382 - The Farce in the Mo Manor’s Hall (1/2)

It was not just the Mo’s and the Duke Zhenguo’s family that was present in the Mo Manor’s Hall.

The matter had blown up. Furthermore, it was a marriage decreed by the Empress. They had to call for witnesses no matter what had happened!

The witness had been invited by the Duke Zhenguo’s Manor. No one expected the man to be Grand Secretariat w.a.n.g. However, the Grand Secretariat seemed displeased. His daughter was dead. Anyone would be unhappy.

However, the man listened gravely and did not say a single word. He just drank his tea quietly. His eyes were a little cold. No one knew why Sima Lingyun would invite him.

Mo Huawen and Xu Yan were seated on one side of the hall while the d.u.c.h.ess and Sima Lingyun were seated on the other side. Mo Xuemin was present as well. She was a few months pregnant and a maid helped her to sit down beside the d.u.c.h.ess with some difficulty. Mo Xuemin’s eyes were lowered and she seemed to be very careful. Only the corners of her eyes were lifted slightly. When her gaze landed on Sima Lingyun, hatred and viciousness flashed in her eyes.

However, when one looked at her again, she seemed like a docile wife.

She had become very thin recently and her face was tinged with green. Even though her belly was raised high, she seemed very weak. She knew very well that if someone had not helped her secretly that day, she would not have been able to leave the shed alive. If it could be said that she wanted to live her days well with Sima Lingyun in the past, at this present moment, her heart and mind were filled with bitterness and hatred.

The child in her belly was not Sima Lingyun’s son. It was the evil fruit of the punishment Sima Lingyun had planted in her. She must have Sima Lingyun take responsibility for this. She was still his legal wife, and the child that she gave birth to would be his eldest legal son. In the future, everything in the Duke Zhenguo’s Manor would belong to the child in her belly.

Their marriage was decreed by the Empress. Her father had a good position in court. Furthermore, she had the support of Consort Yu and Yu Manor. She did not believe that Sima Lingyun would dare to do anything to her or try to get rid of the child in her belly. She wanted the entire Duke Zhenguo’s Manor to fall with her. Anyway, Sima Lingyun did not dare to say what happened that day. He was too embarra.s.sed to say anything either. As such, he could only acknowledge the child.

Sima Lingyun did not care about her when she lived in the Duke Zhenguo’s Manor. She lived carefreely as well. Even though she did not have much to eat or wear, Mo Xuemin felt that it was worth it to make Sima Lingyun suffer such a loss. She wanted that man s.l.u.t to acknowledge the child in her belly. In the future, everything in Duke Zhenguo’s Manor would belong to her. All her suffering right now was nothing.

There was someone helping her behind the scenes so that she could escape the plotting of the d.u.c.h.ess, Yun Yiqiu, Lan Xinru, and Sima Lingyun.

She would bear with it. She was bearing with it…

In the future, she would get her revenge. She would make sure that those who humiliated and bullied her would die terrible deaths. The Duke Zhenguo’s Manor, and the Mo Manor, she would get revenge on them. This had happened because of that s.l.u.t, Mo Xuetong. If not for her, would she have been brought together with Sima Lingyun? If not for her, would she have been tied up with another man in front of the manor doors?

It had brought about Sima Lingyun’s ire. She had been raped and they had left a b.a.s.t.a.r.d child in her womb.

That s.l.u.t was probably having a terrible time now!

There was still hope if she bore with it. However, that s.l.u.t would die. When Mo Xuemin thought of that, she felt that her enduring would bear fruit. As such, she was able to endure and she felt that there was a need to continue to do so…

However, she did not expect that Sima Lingyun was not able to endure any longer. He had sought a different way and brought her to the Mo Manor. He told everyone that she had committed marital fraud and he wanted to have a separation. He wanted to back away from this marriage. Dream on. Since Sima Lingyun dared to leave her to his manservant, then he should be able to take how it felt like to be cuckolded.

He had to acknowledge the child in her belly as well!

She was going to take Sima Lingyun down with her. She was going to see what he could do to her.

“Sir Mo, I did not have any designs on her that day. I was just angry after seeing her do something that would make anyone furious. That’s why I rushed out. Who would have thought that something like that would happen? After I saved Third Miss Mo, Third Miss Mo was afraid and fled, leaving me behind. I could not even explain myself and was forced to marry this evil woman.” Sima Lingyun looked at Mo Xuemin as if she were a poisonous snake. He could not hide the hatred and disgust in his eyes as he spoke to Mo Huawen angrily.

“Your Excellency, this was not what your manor said that day. You only said that you wanted to marry my eldest daughter. I heard you even went to the palace to plead with the Empress. If not for the Empress’ decree, we would not have married our daughter to you. She is already pregnant, and yet you are has.h.i.+ng out the matter now. Isn’t it too late!” Mo Huawen said calmly and coldly. His words were very sharp and he was not as warm and gentle as usual.

He was very disappointed in Mo Xuemin.

However, Sima Lingyun was slapping his face now. He was slapping the face of the entire Mo Manor!

Sima Lingyun said that Mo Huawen’s eldest daughter wanted to plot against his third daughter. If Sima Lingyun had not interfered, nothing like this would have happened. However, he was now pus.h.i.+ng all the blame onto Mo Xuemin. She was pregnant with his child now, and yet, he had said something so heartless. Mo Huawen doubted if Sima Lingyun was really a man!

If not because he did not have any piece of evidence then, Mo Huawen would rather have Mo Xuemin become a nun than to marry her to the Duke Zhenguo’s Manor.

He did not care about Mo Xuemin at all now. Even though he was not sure what happened that day, there were various incidents that happened afterward and especially the Emperor’s att.i.tude, that he knew to investigate. After investigation, he realized that his other two daughters had come together to plot against his third daughter. He almost rushed out to beat those two unfilial daughters of his to death.

Xu Yan had held him back. Daughters who were married off were like water that was splashed away. No matter Mo Xuemin or Mo Xueqiong, they had nothing to do with him in the future. He just had to focus on Tong’er and would not allow them to bully her again.
