Chapter 961 Get Lost
As soon as they heard, discussions started to buzz again, "Old Lady Mo, you shouldn’t have treated Madam Xie and her daughter this way before. Now that they have wealth and status, they haven’t forgotten you, what a good girl indeed!"
Old Lady Mo smiled with profound meaning, "Indeed!"
In fact, Old Lady Mo was not invited to the Capital by Xuexue, but she learned of someone called Lady Tang. Word had it that Lady Tang was the mistress of the General’s Mansion. As long as Old Lady Mo agreed to go to the Capital to deal with Xuexue, she would receive one thousand taels of Gold as a reward, and, in addition, Mo Hengjian would be granted a minor official position in the court.
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Mo was overjoyed with such good fortune, so much so that she didn’t even think twice and immediately accepted the offer.
In order not to let the news leak out, she purposely spread the word around the village that Xuexue was conscience-driven, inviting them to the Capital to enjoy prosperity.
The next day, bright and early, the family quickly packed their luggage, hired two horse-drawn carriages, and set off straight for the Capital.
The two carriages traveled day and night, covering a month’s journey, and finally arrived at the Capital.
Last night, being near the Capital and seeing luxury and wealth within reach, the whole family was so excited that they couldn’t sleep. Hence, after discussing, they decided to continue the journey overnight, and there they were, arriving at the General’s Mansion’s gate early in the morning.
