The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family

But this time, when she mentioned Mo Heng and Pei Qin, Mo Er didn’t give her a favorable response as usual. "I’ve already laid down the rule. Anyone from the Mo family must give way and not act recklessly! Where did you throw my words?"

"Dad! It’s not that we didn’t make way, it’s that Mo Heng and Pei Qin are out to get us! Now they’ve even targeted the Marquis Mansion Yongchang!" Lady Mo complained with dissatisfaction. Seeing his stern and composed countenance, she added, "Dad doesn’t know, Luo Zhen was removed for no good reason, and the newly appointed Jiang Dahai might be bribed by them. All that the Zheng family wanted was an arrangement for concubinage, but they ruthlessly charged someone with the crime of being a spy for the Rong Clan, stripping a whole family to the bone at the Five-City Soldiers and Horses Troop! So merciless and brutal; when they target us, who knows what means they’ll resort to!"

Mo Er was not afraid in the least and just answered indifferently, "If the Mo family stays out of it, he wouldn’t dare to provoke the Mo family intentionally."

Lady Mo, remembering the past events, her eyes flickered before she continued, "And what of Luo Zhen’s position? Now that he’s been schemed against, someone’s taken over the post of Deputy Commander. Can it be that he’s really willing to be a vanguard and carry the banner to the frontier?"

It took a while before Mo Er replied, "Go under General An Liefeng’s command then."

If now Luo Zhen had only to turn to Pei Hansan, since he acts alone and doesn’t meddle with the affairs of the Imperial Court, and it’s rumored that he’s very close to Mo Heng, then his only option would indeed be to take refuge under General An Liefeng’s command. General An Liefeng is the Grand Marshal of the Army and a veteran of two dynasties, a man of upright and open character, not someone like the newly promoted Mo Heng could compare with.

Poor old General An doesn’t yet know that Pei Hansan is a woman, and he awaits anxiously at the border, hoping for her to lead troops over soon! The Rong Clan is utterly shameless, cunning and malicious! They hang a truce talisman one moment and use the civilians of Great Chu as human shields the next. The soldiers’ anger and hatred are almost impossible to contain.

Zheng Yuehan couldn’t take it anymore either, shouting loudly that she was not a spy for the Rong Clan but that she went to seduce Mo Heng!
