Chapter 209: Chapter 209 No Worries Chapter 209: Chapter 209 No Worries As soon as Auntie Sun had returned to her room, Mo Xiaoqiang rushed over and they began to scuffle.
While the two were fighting fiercely, Old Lady Mo hurried over and pulled them apart.
“It’s normal for a husband and wife to bicker, but you’re not young anymore, so stop making a fuss every time you’re upset. I, an old woman, still want to live a few more years,” Old Lady Mo scolded with a raised voice, glaring with her triangular eyes.
“Mother-in-law, we know we were wrong. We were just playing around, really, I’m not lying to you,” Auntie Sun attempted to gloss over the issue. If her affair was exposed, she certainly couldn’t stay in the Mo family. With not a penny to her name, she had no desire to end up on the streets.
“Qiangqiang, speak up and tell me what’s going on,” Old Lady Mo said, totally disbelieving Auntie Sun, as she looked down at Mo Xiaoqiang who was sprawled on the ground.
Mo Xiaoqiang lay on the ground and started wailing loudly.
“Qiangqiang, the floor is cold; stand up quickly,” Old Lady Mo said with great concern at his dejected appearance, pulled him up forcefully, and sat him on the bed, speaking earnestly, “You’ve grown up, and your mother has never seen you so heartbroken. What exactly happened? Tell me, and if I can help you, I certainly will.”
“Ask this wretched woman what good she has done,” Mo Xiaoqiang cried out, pointing an accusing finger at Auntie Sun.
“Husband, I’ve told you time and again that I too am a victim; I was forced,” she retorted.
“You wretched woman, still daring to argue, I already caught…
Just as Mo Xiaoqiang was about to reveal the truth, Auntie Sun, in her extreme panic, suddenly yelled at him, successfully cutting off his next words.
Auntie Sun’s sudden outburst not only prevented Mo Xiaoqiang from revealing the truth but also gave Old Lady Mo quite a fright.
“Are you trying to kill yourself? Such a loud voice. Are you trying to scare me to death, old woman?” Old Lady Mo said, patting her chest, looking extremely unsettled, considering her aged body couldn’t withstand such shocks anymore.
All of Auntie Sun’s brain cells sprang into action as she tried to get Old Lady Mo to leave: “Mother-in-law, please go back first. Once my husband and I have cleared up this misunderstanding, I will explain everything to you.”
“How could I leave you ?” Old Lady Mo said, recalling how they almost came to blows. She dared not leave, afraid that her grandson might not even be born before her son perished.
Without Old Lady Mo leaving, how could she persuade Mo Xiaoqiang to keep her secret and not expose her affair with Butcher Yu?
Quick-thinking Auntie Sun pulled Old Lady Mo aside, whispering something to her that made Old Lady Mo nod in agreement as she listened.
“Alright then! You try to talk to Qiangqiang, and don’t argue anymore. You can’t endure such stress in your condition. Be careful not to harm my precious grandson!”
Why was Old Lady Mo so certain that the child in Auntie Sun’s womb was a grandson? That’s because, before Auntie Sun joined the Mo family, she had a fortune teller specially read her fortune. The fortune teller had commented that Auntie Sun had a sizable backside, predicting that she would surely bear a son. Old Lady Mo was so pleased that she disregarded Old Master Mo’s objections and insisted on bringing her into the Mo family as a concubine for Mo Xiaoqiang.
“Got it, Mother-in-law.”
Whatever Auntie Sun had said to her, Old Lady Mo, who had just expressed her worry, gave some instructions and then turned to leave.
Auntie Sun crept to the door, making sure there was no one outside, before she closed the door and bolted it.
