Farm Girl's Manor

Mo Yongxi felt elevated by her newfound wealth and did indeed look down on the poor, but she still retained some maternal affection for Mo Hong’s family, who had cherished her like the apple of their eye since she was a child. Follow current novels on novel(ꜰ)ire.net

Upon hearing her biological mother’s complaints, she responded with a smile, "How could a daughter look down on her mother? It’s just that I was so irritated, I didn’t pay attention when mother arrived!"

Mo Hong’s family, immediately anxious, asked, "You lead a life of luxury, what’s there to be frustrated about? Is your husband treating you poorly?"

Mo Yongxi’s expression changed, and a strained smile appeared on her face, "My lord treats me well. It’s just that earlier, while accompanying a noble person on a shopping trip, one of the lowly bitches with us ridiculed my background. I couldn’t bear the humiliation and retorted. As a result, the others sided with her, and I was so angry that I came back here, and my heart is still choked up with it!"

Even though Mo Hong’s family was Mo Yongxi’s own mother, Yongxi did not want her to know that she had married a disgusting man who favored the company of men. It wasn’t that she feared losing face in front of her mother, but she didn’t trust Mo Hong’s family’s mouth. Should it slip out accidentally, and the villagers come to know, how could she continue to act as a lady before those poor folks? She couldn’t bear to be the subject of ridicule!

Unaware of Mo Yongxi’s thoughts, Mo Hong’s family, learning of her dearest daughter’s grievances, also became upset, saying resentfully, "It’s all your good-for-nothing father’s fault. If he had been as ambitious as your Uncle Mo, you would be the daughter of a Scholar’s family by now, even eligible to be a government official’s wife. Instead, you’re just the wife of a trifling sundry shop owner, and people still laugh at your origins. How it grieves me, my precious child!"

Mo Hong’s family spoke unabashedly and then embraced Mo Yongxi, crying bitterly, lamenting over her daughter’s rough fate and her lowly background, while secretly resenting Uncle Mo who had failed to see her worth, leaving her to marry a useless man and waste her life.
