Chapter 417 I am extremely sober

Madam Zong did not give Madam Mo a chance to speak, and continued, "You and I both know what kind of person this child is, but people in this world are only willing to believe what they think is the truth, and rumors are hard to clarify. She is in the whirlpool, as a mother, don't you feel distressed?"

Madam Mo had a complicated expression. It was obvious that she had a lot to say in her heart, but as a person in the scene, she could only say polite words, "Thank you, old lady, for worrying about her. Now that she is back, I will definitely take good care of her. You don't have to worry about it anymore."

Madam Zong sat up straight, "Well, since you said so, I won't say anything more." She looked at Mo Lixiao, but her words were still for Madam Mo to hear, "You are old and your mind is confused. I asked you to believe me and persuaded you to come back against your will, but I can only watch you trapped here. I will not be at peace for the rest of my life."

Madam Mo was terrified. "Why do you say that, old lady? Rumors will eventually pass. People are busy making a living, so how can they spare the time to care about a little girl?"

"How can someone who is busy making a living have time to spread such gossip? Madam Mo often goes out to socialize. Can't you see that someone must be making things difficult for your daughter?" Madam Zong asked, "Who is this person? Can't you sense it in your heart?"

Mrs. Mo was speechless when asked.

"You know it well," said Madam Zong. "This child knows it even better, so she wants to stay away from us. This is all she asks, and you are unwilling to do it?"

"She..." Madam Mo's throat was blocked. After a little adjustment, she spoke again, "I also allowed her to stay in the temple for a while. But Madam, you mentioned Liangzhou right away. What kind of place is that? Not to mention the poverty, it is the border of Daliang. If something happens, it will be too late to run away. What mother would bear to let her child go to such a place?"

Madam Zong was about to speak, but Mo Lixiao spoke up at this time, "Old Madam." She bowed to Madam Zong, "Thank you for your concern for me. From now on, I know what to do."

Madam Zong felt that Mo Lixiao might go to extremes, but seeing that she looked clear-headed, she didn't seem like she was going to do that.

She could only leave a message, "I'll come to see you tomorrow," and then left the Mo residence. As soon as Madam Zong left, Madam Mo asked someone to lock Mo Lixiao back in her room.

"Mother, there is no need to rush. There are people guarding outside the house, and I can't escape. Please listen to what your daughter has to say."

Madam Mo turned away and didn't look at her. "You say."

"You said you couldn't bear it, I know. When I was slandered by evil words, you couldn't bear it either. You couldn't bear it at all.

But I think, as a human being, I was slandered and insulted by them just because you couldn't bear it. You didn't allow me to defend myself, but I accepted it. Even kind people wanted to help me avoid them, but you didn't allow me to. In your eyes, am I still a human being? I also have my own intuition, mother..."

Before she could finish her words, Madam Mo turned around and scolded her, "Where is your upbringing? Who allowed you to speak and act so capriciously?"

"If you insist on asking." Mo Lixiao smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe it was God's will." After saying this, her speech speed suddenly increased, "God allowed me to think this way, said this, and did this. If he didn't allow it, why didn't he send down thunder to strike me to death!"

Madam Mo hurried forward to cover her mouth and cursed in a low voice: "You are crazy."

Mo Li smiled and dodged her movements, "I am extremely sober."

"I know your difficulties and your worries, but..." Mo Li smiled and knelt down towards Madam Mo, "Mother, please give me a way out."
