Chapter 1059 Xiuzhi
Old Lady Mo also showed a face full of distress; this matter had thoroughly offended Auntie Tang.
It seemed that the Mo family had no way out now; they could only rely on Xiuzhi to secure the position of a concubine as soon as possible to preserve their family’s wealth and honor.
"Yaner, stop being picky. Having something to eat is better than starving. We might have to endure such meals until Xiuzhi becomes a concubine."
As Old Lady Mo spoke, she picked up the chopsticks on the table and stuffed a few pieces of green vegetables into her mouth. She chewed a few times, her eyebrows furrowed. Not having eaten for a while, the greens were truly tasteless—she didn’t know how she had endured it for decades.
Xiuzhi: "Don’t worry. Tonight, I will speak to the General, and tomorrow, we will have meat and fish again."
Hearing this, Mo Daoyan finally burst into a smile: "My girl, you should mention it sooner. Don’t let our whole family suffer!"
Old Lady Mo also told Mo Xiuzhi: "By the way, mention to the General about that wretched girl Xuexue, how she treats us like this. She’s in charge of the household, yet she has us eating green vegetables and radishes every day, which is too much."
If it weren’t for Auntie Tang’s support for a while, they really would be eating green vegetables and radishes every day. Now, having fallen out with Auntie Tang, they had reverted to their former state, which the Mo family found unbearable!
Indeed, others say it’s easier to accept bitterness before sweetness, but after tasting the sweetness, to suffer again is indescribably torturous—it’s practically like a living death.
That night, Mo Xiuzhi did not see the General. For the next few days, she waited outside his room, but didn’t even catch a glimpse of him. She felt incredibly lost not knowing what had happened. Why was the General avoiding her?
