Farm Girl's Manor

Hearing what Mo Yongxi said made Mrs. Hong’s mood suddenly much better, and she couldn’t stop praising her daughter for her intelligence. Since her daughter was living in the city, if that white-eyed wolf succeeded, she could leverage its influence without it knowing, and the one benefitting would be her own daughter. Even better if it didn’t succeed—best if it never succeeded, hmph!

The mother and daughter whispered to each other for quite some time until a servant outside announced lunchtime. Mrs. Hong realized it was already noon, and suddenly remembering the true purpose of her visit, hurriedly stopped Mo Yongxi, who was about to go to lunch. She told her about the fierce beasts raised by the Mo Family and asked for Mo Yongxi’s advice, saying that it would be best if the entire Mo Family were taken to the Government Office and taught a harsh lesson.

After listening, Mo Yongxi frowned and said, "Mother could’ve let that woman with the surname Wang report to the Government Office. What’s the use of telling me this?"

Mrs. Hong replied anxiously, "You think I don’t understand that? But that white-eyed wolf had a stroke of dog’s luck—there’s a classmate of his who is none other than Second Master Han, a very imposing figure. Even The Fair and Upright God in the Government Office doesn’t phase him! Last time when someone saw wild beasts hidden at their home, and it reached Wang Dali’s ears, he led a group of government officers to search that white-eyed wolf’s house early in the morning, only to be blocked by Second Master Han. If we file a report to the Government Office again, I’m afraid it’ll be useless."

Mo Yongxi’s expression darkened, and she spoke with an unpleasant look, "If that white-eyed wolf has backing, what can you achieve by asking me? The Fang Family may be a prominent household in Liu Yang Village, but they are nobodies in Jing City. If I report to the Government Office, who would even recognize the young mistress of the Fang Family? I’d be humiliated and thrown out. I can’t afford to lose that face!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Hong grew even more anxious, "Aren’t you acquainted with a noble person? Can’t you use that noble person’s name at the Government Office? Even if that name doesn’t work, surely that noble person must know other even more powerful officials. Anyway, it would be best if we made it so that the white-eyed wolf’s family could never turn over a new leaf! And who knows, maybe their possessions could become ours in the end. Could you possibly miss out on a share of that?"

Mo Yongxi was naturally greedy, and upon being provoked by Mrs. Hong, she instantly thought of the Mo Family’s extensive orchards, medicinal herb fields, paddies, and the large estate with chicken farming. She trembled with excitement—how could she resist?

Although she was tempted, she knew her limitations. She may have made the acquaintance of a noble person, but in the eyes of that noble person, she was less than a lapdog—not at all able to persuade the noble to help deal with that white-eyed wolf family.

Seeing her silent, Mrs. Hong took it as acquiescence and her face lit up with joy. "No need to ponder any longer—if this is successful, the benefits to our family will be tremendous. Without resorting to the influence of a white-eyed wolf, you’ll be able to firmly establish your position in your in-laws’ home. From now on, whenever you go out, see who dares laugh at you as a poor, powerless person of humble origin!"
