Chapter 588: Chapter 588 Scholar Mo Chapter 588: Chapter 588 Scholar Mo “Of course, your daughter knows martial arts,” Xuexue said as she struck a fighting pose, one hand and one foot in the air, looking very formidable.
Madam Xie quickly swatted her limbs down and scolded, “Are you trying to get yourself killed? Do you think you can still get married if people find out a girl like you is swinging spears and clubs?”
Xuexue pouted and murmured softly, “I don’t want to get married at all; I want to stay with my mother forever.”
“Silly girl, every girl grows up and finds a husband. Your mother is getting old; she can’t be with you forever.” Madam Xie felt somewhat sad as she stroked Xuexue’s head. This little girl, when she was first brought home, was as small as a newly born Kitty, and now, unknowingly, she had grown into a beautiful young woman, extremely lovely, and resembled her birth mother a lot–it was as if she were molded from the same template, except Xuexue even surpassed her, seemingly having inherited the good traits of her birth father as well.
Xuexue hugged Madam Xie’s arm and coaxed, “I’m not marrying; I just want to stay by my mother’s side forever.”
“What girl wouldn’t marry? Don’t change the subject; tomorrow you might not want to go up the mountain,” Madam Xie was still worried about this matter.
Xuexue let out a wail and said, “Mother, I’ve said it before, it won’t be dangerous if I don’t venture deep into the mountains.”
“You’re always lying to your mother. Last time you said the same, and what happened? You ran into a big tiger; you nearly lost your life, and your mother is too old to withstand such shocks anymore.”
Helplessly, Xuexue said, “Mother, if you don’t trust me, I’ll take Chuner with me, would that be okay? I would never put Chuner in such danger.”
Chuner, who was nearby, laughed out loud when she heard this. It had been so long since she had gone up the mountain to play. This time of year, the mountain was full of wild fruits; remembering this, Chuner’s mouth almost watered. She immediately raised her small hands and cheered loudly, “Yay, that’s great, Chuner can go play in the mountains!” And turning her head to Madam Xie she childishly added, “Mother, don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on my sister and make sure she doesn’t mess around.”
Xuexue and Madam Xie were both amused by her.
Laughing, Madam Xie said, “This little imp, perking up the moment she hears she can go up the mountain.”
The expression on Madam Xie’s face softened, and Xuexue knew she had agreed.
Indeed, Xuexue always adored her younger sister Chuner and would never put her in a risky situation. Madam Xie was very confident about that.
“Mo Xueer, you little cheap person.”
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the doorway.
Madam Xie and her daughters were startled, and turning their heads, they saw it was Mo Xiuzhi, who strode into the courtyard with a furious demeanor.
Madam Xie looked at her in amazement, “Xiuzhi, what brings you to our home?”
“It’s your vixen spirit of a daughter I’m here for,” Xiuzhi said, barely able to contain her anger.
“How can you speak like that as an unmarried girl?”
“What does it matter what I say? It’s better than some people who appear pure on the surface but dare to steal my man behind the scenes,” Mo Xiuzhi blurted out angrily, revealing her inner thoughts.
Madam Xie and her daughters were stunned. Mo Xiuzhi, an unmarried girl, actually claimed she had a man, which they had never heard about.
After a moment of exchanging glances.
Unable to resist, Xuexue asked, “Excuse me, sister, who is your man? When did I steal your man?”
“Are you still pretending?” Mo Xiuzhi was extremely furious: “I just saw it with my own eyes! You were there, laughing and talking with Brother Xing; isn’t that stealing my man?”
Now, Xuexue, utterly confused, finally understood what Mo Xiuzhi was talking about.
It was all about that fickle-hearted Scholar Mo!
