Chapter 688 Xiao Ruiyuan’s Little Calculation (1)_1
The affair had come to a close and the leading government officers, managing their subordinates, escorted the six despondently faced individuals away from the Mo Family. Watching their retreating figures, those present knew it was not only these six who would face a bleak fate—Mo Yongxi had thoroughly fallen this time, and serving a few years in prison would be considering getting off lightly.
However, no matter what the Government decided in the end, all the consequences were of Mo Yongxi’s own making, with no one else to blame. No one here would sympathize with her, not even Sister-in-law Wang and others who had previously conspired with Mo Hong’s family were now shivering, hiding behind the crowd, too afraid to show their faces.
Finally, seizing the moment when everyone’s attention was on Mo Yan and the rewards, Sister-in-law Wang and the others left the Mo Family’s residence dejectedly, fearing their involvement in the plot would be revealed.
The group hurried to Lao Mo’s House and recounted everything that had occurred at the Mo Family that day to another instigator, Mo Hong’s family.
Mo Hong’s family, guilty and worried that her encouragement of Mo Yongxi against the Mo Family would be discovered, had not dared to join the onlookers at the Mo’s that day. Though she was confident in her most capable daughter and believed her daughter’s scheming would succeed, she could not be at ease until she received the news she had been waiting for.
But reality had dealt her a harsh slap on the face. The very people they had plotted against soared high into the sky, becoming the exalted County Lord, while her daughter was on the verge of becoming a prisoner, and even she might be dragged out, mother and daughter possibly reuniting in a prison cell.
At the thought of this possibility, Mo Hong’s family was struck with horror. Her face contorted with a fierce spasm, and foam began to spill from her mouth. Soon after, she collapsed to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably as if possessed by a spirit.
