Chapter 440 Divine Blessing Severing Relations (3)_1
Xin Er came to report the news, but her words were very vague. With so many people around, she didn’t have the opportunity to ask for details. Now seeing how seriously her younger sister-in-law seemed to be injured, she was afraid that her father-in-law and mother-in-law would blame the incident on her uncle’s family.
Hearing the concern and worry in her words, Mo Yan was touched and recounted the causes and consequences of the incident.
After listening, Wu’s of the Mo Family looked her up and down in shock and disbelief. Finally, she slapped her forehead and excitedly said, "Yan girl, you must have been protected by the gods to have avoided this calamity, and to see those who harmed you get punished. Yes, that’s it, it must be so."
Mo Yan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she looked at Mo Wu. She wanted to explain that it wasn’t like that, but since she couldn’t be certain about the guess in her heart, she found it inappropriate to voice it. Besides, so many people believing that she was protected by the gods to escape a disfigured fate didn’t seem to be a bad thing for her or the Mo Family.
Seeing her strange expression and her silence, Mo Wu thought she was in shock and comforted her, "You don’t need to worry. Being protected by the gods is something others can’t even ask for. It must be because of your kind-hearted nature. The gods won’t harm you."
Helplessly nodding her head, Mo Yan went along with the "divine protection" story because of a scalp wound, "Auntie, thank you for clearing my confusion. Otherwise, I would still be wondering what had become of me!"
"You silly child, what’s there to thank for! This matter has nothing to do with you, I am relieved," said Wu’s of the Mo Family, her tone becoming light and easy.
...
Mrs. Hong sat on the ground, incessantly wailing and clutching the still unconscious Mo Yongxi, spewing nothing but curses. Every word and sentence was accusing Mo Yan’s family of being evil-hearted, of deliberately harming her precious daughter. Mo Yongfu and Mo Yonglu, her two sons, tried to persuade her but couldn’t stop her venomous cursing, attracting disgust and scorn from many.
On the other hand, upon Mo Qingze’s impartial recounting and with the corroboration of several villagers, Yang Bao quickly understood the ins and outs of the incident. He was extremely shocked and glanced ambiguously at Mo Yan, who was speaking with Mo Wu not far away.
