Chapter 1056 - 340: Influence, Rumors
Speaking of which, Mo Erni was quite unlucky. Initially, after having found herself a godfather, she had barely convinced him to take her away from the Xue Family and successfully managed to enter the then influential Lin Family in Jing City’s government.
She had been doing quite well in the Lin Family, gradually gaining the trust of Young Mistress Lin, and was about to become the number one person by the Young Mistress’s side. She would soon have been able to wield the Lin Family’s power and triumphantly return to Liu Yang Village to seek revenge on the Mo Family. However, that’s when she received the news that Mo Yan had been appointed as County Lord, forcing her to bitterly suppress her desires to destroy the Mo Family and wait for a better opportunity to exact her revenge.
What she had never imagined was that the Lin Family, which seemed like a towering mountain in her eyes, would be raided overnight. As a servant of the Lin Family, she was branded as an Official Slave and eventually sold to a brothel, plunging her into a life worse than death.
The moment she was crushed beneath a corpulent and vile patron, Mo Erni’s resentment reached an unprecedented depth. She resented the injustice of fate for making her the daughter of a poor family; she resented Mrs. Hong’s malice for selling her to human traffickers; she resented the incompetence of Mo Yonglu and Mrs. Niu for giving birth to her and then failing to protect her...
Yet, the one she hated the most was Mo Yan. Every misfortune in her life began with the Mo Family, and it was because Mo Yan’s fortunes improved that she gradually fell into this wretched state... In plain terms, such thoughts were purely fueled by jealousy. She was unable to alter her own fate, yet she despised those who could. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have repeatedly made outrageous decisions out of envy, and it was these decisions that had cornered her into such dire straits, truly embodying the saying: One reaps what one sows!
Nevertheless, Mo Erni refused to reflect on this and stubbornly believed that it was all someone else’s fault, that others had wronged her, and now that her situation was more miserable, the hatred in her heart grew even deeper.
At the beginning of this year, Mo Yonglu brought his family to the city to make a living. Illiterate and without any particular skills, he could only earn a meager income by working as a laborer, moving goods for people and supporting his family.
