Chapter 1131 Doubt

"What is it? Quickly measure me, don't delay my kneeling punishment!" Mo Chunmang was very impatient, and even showed disgust in her eyes.

dislike?

Yun felt a pang of pain in her heart, unable to believe that her son would despise her.
“…Alright, Mother will measure you now.” Afraid of further upsetting her son, and also afraid that Scholar Mo would punish him and make him suffer, Madam Yun had no choice but to shut up and measure Mo Chunmang’s body.

After a while.

"The measurements are done. Mother will hurry up and make the overcoats for you and your father... Mang-ge'er, the sage said that students should not listen to only one side of the story, but should listen to the teachings of various schools of thought and learn from their strengths, so that they can become pillars of the nation." Madam Yun patiently taught him.

Mo Chunmang was stunned. Before she could say anything, Mo Xiucai's voice came again: "Chunmang, kneel for another half an hour!"

"Yes!" Mo Chunmang responded instinctively, kneeling down with a thud. The sound was so loud that even Yun Shi was worried that his kneecaps might fracture.

Yun's back stiffened as she realized that Mo Xiucai was staring at her. Not daring to have any more contact with her son, she hurriedly grabbed her sewing basket and headed to the back of the house.

Upon arriving at the couple's main house, Yun sat on the stove bed, holding her sewing basket, lost in thought.

I do not know how long it has been……

Dangdang Dangdang!
"A notice from the Prefectural Government to the people of Wei City: Spies from the Eastern Desert have been discovered in the Great Wei Mountains and Baofu County, which is under the jurisdiction of the Prefectural City. These spies are ruthless, killing people to make rations for the army, as evidenced by evidence of calf rations! They also raise a large number of rats, suspected of creating a rat plague! All people of Wei City, prepare for war and prevent the plague. Do not slacken your efforts, for slackening your efforts is to give up your lives!"

"Be vigilant in observing those around you. Spies are everywhere. Don't let them use you and make you an ally of the enemy. That would be a heinous crime that would be condemned by your ancestors and bring ruin to your family!"

Dangdang Dangdang!
"A notice from the government office to the people of Wei in the prefectural city..."

He shouted it three times a day, every single day, to remind Wei Min.

Yun shuddered, startled back to reality by the sound of the gong and shouts, and murmured the words she had just heard: "Spies are everywhere..."

Are spies everywhere?

Spies are everywhere!

Startled, Yun suddenly stood up, opened a hidden compartment in the main room, and took out a book of the Mo family genealogy.

The origins of the Mo family are all traceable, and there are no doubts in the family genealogy.

When the major spy case was first exposed, her husband was also investigated and imprisoned because he could read and write the Eastern Desert script, but he was later released.

This proves that my husband is innocent.

My husband's maternal grandparents' family lived in the suburbs of the prefectural city. The government had investigated, but found nothing. My husband, his parents, and his relatives were all innocent.

but……

As Mo Xiucai's wife, Yun felt that Mo Xiucai had changed... Starting from the Lunar New Year this year, he began to look down on her, would unconsciously feel proud, and would despise her and her family.

After the government issued orders requiring all citizens of Wei to prepare for the rat plague, my husband began to become irritable and short-tempered.

Like, like the anger he felt when his proudest achievement suddenly shattered.

But her husband said he was angry because he thought such preparations to prevent the plague were a waste of resources and manpower.

Is that really why you're angry?
Unbeknownst to Yun, her mind was in utter turmoil...

"Mother, Mother, it's almost Shenshi (3-5 PM), you need to hurry up and cook. Father said he wants meat dishes tonight," eight-year-old daughter Mo Chunxi reminded Yunshi as she came in.

Looking at her daughter, Yun felt a little calmer down.

The next moment, Madam Yun became even more flustered. She grabbed her daughter's hand and said, "Xi'er, how about I take you back to your maternal grandparents' house tomorrow to learn embroidery?" Madam Yun was from this household. Her family owned an embroidery shop on Embroidery Street and had a family tradition of embroidery skills.

Mo Chunxi also keenly sensed the subtle atmosphere at home lately. She also liked her maternal grandparents' house very much, so she nodded and said happily, "Okay, I want to go to my maternal grandparents' house to learn a craft."

"Alright, alright, Mother will send you back to your maternal grandparents' house tomorrow." Madam Yun was delighted and took her daughter to make dinner.

But when she mentioned it to Scholar Mo during the meal, his face turned cold and he slammed his chopsticks on the table: "You are not allowed to go. You are the daughter of a scholar, a lady of a noble family. You will marry a scholar in the future. Those farming and scholarly families have their own land and shops to live on. You don't need to learn this kind of skill to make a living."

“If you make a living by selling embroidery, not only will your future in-laws look down on you, but you will also bring shame upon them. You are not allowed to learn it, do you hear me!”

This?
Mo Chunxi burst into tears and rushed to look at Madam Yun: "Mother..."

“Don’t be afraid, Xi’er, don’t cry. Mother is here.” Madam Yun hugged her daughter and looked at Scholar Mo. Her eyes held not only tears but also dissatisfaction: “My husband is becoming more and more stubborn. Needlework is one of a woman’s face. My family is willing to teach Xi’er, so how can we not let her go? Besides, the reason our family has been able to live so comfortably all these years is also because I do embroidery for my family’s shop!”

Mo Xiucai's eyes narrowed slightly, and hidden in the dim candlelight, there was a murderous aura that his family could not see.

"Mother, quickly apologize to Father. By saying this, aren't you implying that Father is supported by you? Where does that leave Father's achievements?!" Mo Chunmang finally called her mother again, but her words were accusatory.

Having been tamed, Lady Yun quickly rose after her moment of courage, bowed and admitted her mistake: "Husband, I'm sorry, I misspoke. I won't do it again. Please punish me."

Mo Xiucai: "Hmph, because I was expelled from the academy again, you are increasingly dissatisfied with me. I don't like myself either, but what can I do? To take such drastic measures to prevent the plague when there are no patients is wrong of the government. As a scholar, as a scholar with official rank, I must stand up and speak out for justice, otherwise I would be unworthy of being a scholar!"

After saying these noble words, Scholar Mo picked up his chopsticks again and said, "You can decide on how to raise our daughter."

This means they agree!

The Yun family mother and daughter were overjoyed. However, the Yun family felt that her actions of doubting her husband and wanting to send her daughter away were too unfair to him.

Actually, her husband still loves and cherishes them very much.

???

Are you OK?

After the dispute subsided, the atmosphere at the Mo family home improved considerably.

The next day.

Dangdang Dangdang!
"A notice from the government office to the people of Wei in the prefectural city..."

The entire city was awakened by these shouts.

Hearing this sound, Scholar Mo was thoroughly annoyed and smashed another inkstone.

When Yun came to help him get up and wash, she discovered the broken inkstone. She knelt down to pick up the broken ink and wipe away the ink stains, but her heart sank again.

Half past Chen Shi (7-9 AM), Madam Yun took her daughter out and headed towards the Yun family's embroidery shop on Embroidery Street... When they reached the intersection of Qiming Street, Madam Yun stopped, turned around, and looked towards the Qin family's residence.

"Is Mother worried about Father?" Mo Chunxi thought that Madam Yun was looking after their own house.

Yun came to her senses, patted her head, and smiled, "Let's go."

Yun spent ten coins to take her daughter to Yun's Embroidery Shop on Embroidery Street and handed her daughter over to her family.

Yun's family still doted on her and were willing to help raise Mo Chunxi and teach her the Yun family's ancestral skills.

However, her parents noticed that Yun was somewhat distracted. After settling Mo Chunxi in, they asked her, "What's wrong? Did you have a fight with your son-in-law?"

“Alas, scholars are always so stubborn, it’s so hard on my son… Just bear with it, in a few years, when Mang’er grows up and passes the imperial examinations, your life will get better.” Yun’s mother comforted her, also angry that her son-in-law had been sent home from the academy for going against the government.
