Chapter 121 Mother’s family’s support
"Please stop at the street corner."

The four members of the Mo family were taken home in the prince's luxurious carriage.

If cars are parked directly at the main gate, who knows how chaotic it will become.

They helped each other out of the carriage, and Mo Da gave Mo Fan some silver so that he could thank the driver and guards.

"When we get back, we'll just say we were sitting in the teahouse. Let's not talk about meeting the prince. I'm just too tired today, and I don't want to talk anymore," Mo Yi instructed.

Mo Ruhai nodded quickly, not wanting his elder brother to know that he had embarrassed himself in front of the prince. "Listen to your sister and keep your mouths shut, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Mo Da and Mo Fan had no choice but to nod.

Turning the corner, they saw the gatekeeper looking around in the street. Upon seeing them, they quickly ran back.

In the living room, Mo Rushan sat alone in the dim candlelight. After his second son stormed out of the house, he felt a pang of regret. That fool had always been so stubborn! And the Mo family just had a momentous occasion; why did I have to argue with him?
It was almost midnight, and the others still hadn't returned. He was so worried that he didn't even eat dinner.

Seeing the group put his mind at ease, but he couldn't bring himself to say anything conciliatory. "Let's all rest now. We can talk about it tomorrow."

"Have my sister-in-law get me some bedding; I want to sleep in the living room," Mo Ruhai said, plopping down in a chair.

After waiting for a while, Mo Rushan still didn't hear Mo Da and the others trying to persuade him, so he shook his head and said, "Fine, I owe you!"

He asked Zhuang to arrange a temporary place for him to sleep, and also asked her to talk to Wang.

Upon hearing that her husband had returned, Wang's lips curled into a mocking smile. "If you've got the guts to leave home, then at least don't come back!" she thought. She lifted the curtain and went outside to give him another piece of her mind.

Enraged, Zhuang, who never raised her voice, forced Wang into the house with a mix of threats and scolding.

Mo Yi was so tired that she couldn't say a word. After a quick wash, she went to bed.

Unexpectedly, despite being tired and sleepy, I couldn't fall asleep.

"I will arrange the marriage as soon as possible. As for when the wedding will take place... you are still young, we will discuss it later. Granny Zhao will come to see you again. She is my mother's servant, capable and loyal. Just listen to her arrangements, I will take care of everything, you don't need to worry."

"This teahouse belongs to me. If you have any urgent matters before the engagement, you can send a letter here."

"If you have nothing to say, I am busy with other matters, so I will have someone send you back first..."

From beginning to end, he never asked her if she was willing to marry him!
Then I'll ask myself: Mo Yi, are you willing?
I tossed and turned for a while, until I finally fell into a deep sleep, but I still couldn't figure out the answer.

The next day, she woke up very late. Before she could even get up, she heard Zhuang Shi speaking outside the door: "Is Yi Yi up yet?"

Xiangye hurriedly went out to reply, "Madam, our young lady is tired. She just woke up and hasn't washed or dressed yet."

"Oh, tell her to hurry up, her maternal relatives have arrived..." Madam Zhuang pressed her brow, wondering what kind of trouble she would cause today.

She had just been chasing after her son, asking him where they had gone yesterday, but that silly son just kept going around her, I don't know what he was up to.

Here we go again… Mo Yi was extremely annoyed; she knew the Wang family all too well…

Thinking of her father, she quickly got out of bed to wash and dress.

Inside the Wang family's house, the old master and mistress of the Wang family, uncles and aunts, aunts and uncles, cousins ​​and so on... a whole roomful of people had arrived.

Everyone was looking forward to hearing about the strange happenings in the palace as soon as they entered, but instead they were greeted by two women with swollen eyes.

As soon as Wang saw her relatives, she burst into tears.

The Wang family was startled. "What happened? Did Mo Yi get into trouble in the palace?"

“Mo Ruhai said he wants to divorce his wife…” Wang sobbed.

"What?!" The Wang family was stunned.

"Father, Mother, Sister, Eldest Brother, Sister-in-law, you must stand up for me! I've suffered so much and given so much since I married into the Mo family! Waaah, when I got married, the family gave me so much dowry, and my eldest sister and sister-in-law didn't say a word..."

Today, my family is spoiling me; doesn't Mo Ruhai know that? How can he be so heartless!

"Don't cry yet, tell me what happened?"

Mo Da and Mo Wen entered the door. "Mother!" The two first comforted Wang Shi, and then bowed to her maternal family.

Mowen quickly prepared tea.

Seeing her daughter sobbing uncontrollably, Old Mrs. Wang grabbed Mowen and asked, "What's wrong with your mother? Did your father say he wants to divorce her? I'd like to see who dares to do that!"

Mo Wen quickly explained, "Grandmother, we had a few words exchanged yesterday because of Mo Yi..." Her eyes reddened as she spoke, "There was no such thing as divorcing her."

“That’s what Mo Ruhai said! Mo Da, you heard it too, didn’t you?” Madam Wang grabbed Mo Da’s hand.

Seeing his mother's expression, Mo Da said helplessly, "Mother, please don't get so agitated. Grandfather isn't well, don't make him anxious or angry... Yesterday everyone said some hurtful things, and you..."

But no one listened to his explanation. The Wang family was all angry. The Mo family was poor and had no business in the capital. Wang Xiu'e had five children, and the Wang family had always taken good care of her, providing her with clothing, jewelry, food, and connections…

Is Mo Ruhai an ingrate?
Looking at Zhou Shi who had just entered, she was already showing signs of pregnancy!
Even with a grandson on the way, he can't just casually utter the words "divorce" during an argument. Mo Ruhai really doesn't take the Wang family seriously!
Aunt Wang sneered, "What's wrong? His daughter just went to the palace, and he's already looking down on his wife?"

"Yes! We've barely gotten here, and he's already thinking about divorcing his wife? He's dreaming. Come on, let's go up ahead and have a word with the head of the Mo family. Don't think the Wang family is easy to bully!"

Brother-in-law Qin said calmly, "Everyone, don't rush, let's figure this out first..."

But how could he stop the excited Wang family?
Wang's personality was inherited from her family...

They responded to my call and surged forward, so fast that even Mo Da couldn't stop them...

Feeling emboldened, Wang took the lead and walked ahead. Today, she had to make her husband apologize properly and promise to behave himself from now on.

Mo Rushan took a day off to settle things at home, but after talking to the blockhead in front of him all morning, he couldn't get a single response.

A fire was rising in my heart. What do I owe you?

Just then, the Wang family arrived. As soon as they arrived, they rushed towards Mo Ruhai, their fingers almost touching his nose.

The Mo family members quickly tried to block them, but even though there were many men in the Mo family, they couldn't withstand the Wang family's imposing aura.

They were all talking at once, and it was impossible to make out what they were saying, but it was clear they were referring to them as "ungrateful wretch" and "Chen Shimei."

I still managed to hear a few of those harsh and hurtful words, such as "You're relying on your wife's dowry and you still treat her badly!"

Mo Rushan was furious. He stood there, his face dark and his brows furrowed.

Mo Rusong, with a forced smile, called out, "Grandpa, Grandma!" to stop them.

Mo Ruhai only stood up and bowed when they entered, then sat down. He remained silent, his face pale, but he seemed relatively calm.

He often faced sarcastic remarks from the Wang family, and although he was angry, he always maintained his politeness.

But today was different. He sat there with a cold smile, drinking his tea as if nothing was wrong.

Seeing his stubbornness, the Wang family was both furious and incredulous. He was like a noisy toad in a ditch…

Mo Rusong, Mo Fan, and Mo Da, along with several others, coaxed and persuaded the two elderly people to sit down.

After a while of arguing, things quieted down.

Mo Ruhai spoke up: "I know Wang Xiue has wronged me by marrying me. A person's life is only a few decades, it passes in the blink of an eye. She shouldn't really suffer like this for the rest of her life! Why don't we get a divorce? Or, on the other hand, she can divorce me on the grounds that I'm a hopeless husband!"

He's completely given up.

Upon hearing this, the Wang family exclaimed, "What? He wants a divorce?"

She even wants her own daughter to divorce her husband?
How could such a thing happen?

He's gone mad...

Seeing that her husband had even mentioned divorcing her, and that they were really going to fight to the death... Wang's legs went weak and she sat down on the ground, crying out, "You have no conscience!"

Mo Wen, Mo Da, and Zhou Shi, who had just entered the door and walked slowly, all blushed deeply.

Old Master Wang was trembling with anger: "You bastard Mo Ruhai, I'll beat you to death!" He got up from his seat and swung his cane.

Of everyone present, he was the oldest, the most senior, and in the worst health. Right now, his face was flushed, and he was panting heavily…it seemed like he was about to roll his eyes away.

The Mo brothers could only offer some resistance and dared not pull hard enough.

The Wang family, it seems, really wanted the old man to beat Mo Ruhai, so they took sides and blocked the Mo family.

"Father!" At this moment, Mo Yi arrived. Seeing that he was about to hit her father, she stepped forward and blocked Mo Ruhai.

"Yi Yi..." Mo Ruhai panicked when he saw his daughter come to his rescue and stood up to pull her away.

Old Wang, panting, finally reached them and swung his cane...

Happy New Year 2025!
Thank you so much to all my friends who have given me so much support!

I've had some reflections these days: if one doesn't deal with the government, hospitals, or experience war in their life, they have a basic level of happiness.

Money, houses, bad boyfriends, and kids who don't do well in school can all be viewed from a different perspective.

The most important thing is to treat yourself well!

2024 was tough, and 2025 is uncertain. I hope my precious babies are all safe and happy!
