Chapter 150: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 150: Uncovering the Real Culprit (1)
"Ah—"
There was a collective gasp, and the timid ones had already covered their eyes, afraid to witness the bloody scene that might unfold.
Hong Shi was lying on the ground, with Xiao Hua's four paws on her, dizzy from the fall. When she opened her eyes, she was met with a terrifying sight—a pair of bloodshot eyes and a hot, moist breath on her neck, causing goosebumps to rise all over her body. Those cold, eerie eyes frightened her to the core, making her unable to utter a single word.
"Xiao Hua, come back!"
Mo Yan reacted quickly, calmly calling out. Just a scare would be enough; causing real harm would only complicate matters.
Just as Xiao Hua was about to take a bite, curious about the taste of human flesh, it hesitated upon hearing Mo Yan's words. It stared at the plump neck of Mo Hongshi for a moment, then reluctantly removed its claws from her chest.
Just when everyone thought Xiao Hua would let Mo Hongshi go, it suddenly opened its mouth, sinking its fangs into the neckline of Hong Shi's clothes. With a sudden force, it easily tore Mo Hongshi's clothes apart, revealing the gray inner garment underneath.
Holding the torn fabric in its mouth, Little Flower looked as if it were holding a piece of rotten meat, a hint of disgust flashing in its eyes. It spat out the fabric, as if rinsing its mouth, and then opened its mouth, pretending to use its claws to clean its teeth.
The onlookers stared dumbfoundedly for a moment before bursting into laughter. The women near Hong Shi exaggeratedly took a few steps back, as if Hong Shi had been contaminated with something disgusting.
Mo Yan's eye twitched as she dragged Xiao Hua back by the ear.
"Yan'er, is this how you treat your elders?"
Old Mo's face was dark, and his gloomy eyes stared disapprovingly at Mo Yan, as if she were a heinous criminal.
"Grandfather, everyone here has eyes. It's clear that Second grandma wanted to hit me. Xiao Hua couldn't stand by and watch, so it knocked Second Grandma down. Does Grandfather think I should just stand there and let Second Grandma hit me?"
Mo Yan couldn't help but retort. At this point, instead of thinking about how to resolve the issue with the seedlings, he was still trying to find fault. Then, he shouldn't blame her for being slapped in the face.
Insulting him for not having eyes?
Old Mo was so angry that he nearly fell backward. He turned to Mo Qingze and asked, "Qingze, is this how you teach your daughter?"
In the past, Mo Qingze would never allow his daughter to speak to his uncle in such a tone.
Unfortunately, this time, he was destined to be disappointed.
"Uncle, it's a fact that Yongxi broke our precious seedlings and was disrespectful. It's also a fact that Second Aunt insulted Yan'er and wanted to hit her. It's also a fact that Xiao Hua couldn't stand by and wanted to help Yan'er. It's also a fact that Yan'er stopped Xiao Hua from harming Second Aunt."
Mo Qingze looked at his uncle, who had aged more than ten years in just a few months, closed his eyes, suppressed all emotions, and calmly stated the facts.
Ever since the incidents involving 'Mo Yongshou plotting against the Mo family' and 'Old Mo forcing the secret formula', Mo Qingze had exhausted all the affection he had for this so-called uncle. All that remained was the slight connection of blood ties.
"Qingze, you... you..."
Old Mo couldn't believe what he was hearing from Mo Qingze. It was as if something important was slipping away from him, leaving him with an inexplicable sense of panic.
Mo Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was really worried that her father would continue to be soft-hearted toward Old Mo's family.
With this thought in mind, her disgust towards Old Mo grew stronger. This time, she had no intention of letting him off easily.
"Grandfather, let's not dwell on irrelevant matters! Your daughter broke so many precious seedlings in our house. If you don't give an explanation, I'll have to call the village head to uphold justice."
