Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Disowning All Relatives Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Disowning All Relatives Before Mo Yaner could speak, Auntie Sun took a step forward, tragically gripping her hand as if she truly regarded her as family, and began to complain to her, “Yes, Yaner! You don’t know, Second Madam has also had a tough time. The very day she entered the Mo family’s house, Xuexue brutally bit off one of her ears, a pain that penetrated to the bone!” As she spoke, she even shed a few insincere tears, appearing utterly sorrowful and pitiable.
“Xuexue bit off your ear? That can’t be true.” Mo Yaner responded incredulously, having always known Xuexue as someone who would not even harm an ant, wondering how she could have committed such a brutal act.
“Second Madam is an honest person, why would she lie to you?” Auntie Sun said while reaching up to brush the hair aside from her ear, “If you don’t believe it, look here, Second Madam’s ear is gone, could this be fake?”
Typically, Auntie Sun absolutely hated when anyone mentioned her missing ear, but now, to garner Yaner’s sympathy and retrieve her silver jewelry, she was prepared to do anything.
Upon seeing that Auntie Sun indeed lacked one ear, Yaner was taken aback; unsure whether to believe Auntie Sun, she turned her head towards Mo Xiaoqiang: “Dad, this isn’t true, is it?”
Mo Xiaoqiang nodded his head, saying helplessly, “It’s true, Xuexue has changed. She hates that dad took a concubine and now disowns her own family.”
Yaner was dumbfounded: “This…this….”
“Exactly, your father took me in merely to ensure the continuation of the Mo family lineage, but despite entering the family as a whole person, I became disfigured the very next day,” Auntie Sun completed her story, once again feigning misery.
Mo Yaner replied, “Second Madam, don’t cry, Xuexue was wrong. Wait here; when she comes back, I’ll speak to her.”
Upon hearing these words, Auntie Sun and Mo Xiaoqiang exchanged glances–this was exactly what they had been waiting for.
Seeing that the moment was ripe, Mo Xiaoqiang reiterated the fabricated tale that Xuexue had stolen Auntie Sun’s silver jewelry, adding a plethora of lies to win Yaner’s sympathy and help them retrieve the wealth.
Xuexue rushed back home from the fields and upon entering, immediately saw Madam Xie collapsed on the ground, while Old Lady Mo, clutching a piece of cloth, kicked her proudly and repeatedly while cursing, “I’ll teach you lowlifes to steal my chicken, I’ll kill you, I’ll really kill you.”
Without speaking, Xuexue stepped forward and kicked Old Lady Mo hard in the buttocks.
Engrossed in her beating, Old Lady Mo, unexpectedly attacked from behind, staggered and nearly fell flat on her face, barely managing to regain her composure. Turning around, she saw it was Xuexue and flew into a rage: “You little wretch, even daring to strike your own grandmother, aren’t you afraid of divine retribution?”
Ignoring Old Lady Mo’s furious scolding, Xuexue hurried over to help Madam Xie up from the ground.
“Mother, are you out of your mind? Why let her beat you, don’t you know to run?” Xuexue, seeing Madam Xie disheveled and bruised, was extremely annoyed.
“Yaner, Yaner, come quickly and see how defiant your sister is, assaulting her grandmother in broad daylight,” Madam Ruan and Mr. Mo Daoyan, who had been enjoying the spectacle, suddenly shouted aloud.
Mo Yaner quickly appeared at the main hall accompanied by Mo Xiaoqiang.
Meanwhile, Old Lady Mo, hearing Mr. and Mrs. Mo Daoyan’s loud clamor, had already laid down on the ground, clutching her waist and crying out loudly: “Oh! I don’t want to live anymore, life has no meaning, even my own granddaughter hits me, this old lady, woe is me…!”
