Chapter 712: Intimidation - Mo Qingze Gets Caught (1)_1
Although it’s said that family scandals should not be publicized, there is no relation between the two families anymore, and the fault does not lie with our own. He didn’t find it difficult to speak up.
After the villagers confirmed that everything Mo Qingze said was true, the elder indeed had no intention of getting involved, "Since this is Ziyu’s private matter, you should resolve it yourself." Having said that, he sat down again and continued to drink with the other instructors.
Seeing this, Old Man Mo and his two companions were completely dumbfounded. Wasn’t their intentional choice to make a scene at this time precisely to garner sympathy in front of everyone and to force this pack of ungrateful wretches to let off their daughter (sister)? How could it have turned out this way?
The reaction of several teachers allowed Mo Qingze to set his mind at ease, and his gaze towards Old Man Mo and the other two was filled with disgust, "Mo Yongxi has harmed my family time and again, and the Government wishes for her ten years of hard labor—all her own doing! Even if you kneel until this ground is worn through today, I, Mo Qingze, will not plead with the Government for the chief culprit who harmed my family. Better you give up hope early and stop bothering us, or else, don’t blame me for being rude!"
Seeing Mo Qingze’s face turned ashen and his demeanor not the least in jest, Old Man Mo and the others felt a sudden surge of timidity. But having waited so long for this opportunity, how could they give it up without a fight?
A dark cloud passed over Old Man Mo’s eyes, but the look on his wrinkled face became more woeful, "Qingze, you’re a Scholar now, and the Yan girl is a County Lord—both father and daughter are dignified persons of status. Even if you’ve cut ties with your second uncle’s family, blood ties can’t be severed! If this gets out, aren’t you afraid that people will say you are bullying others using your power or disowning your relatives?"
