Chapter 539: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 539: Forgotten to Check the Almanac (1)
Mo Er Ni’er’s greatest pride was successfully persuading her guardian, Steward Song, to leave the Xue family. By a stroke of luck, she then entered the influential Lin family as a third-class maid.
If the Wei Yuan Marquis House and the Wu An Duke House were the two top families in the capital, the Lin family was one of the major families just below them. The current head of the Lin family was the Minister of Revenue, managing the country’s treasury. With the Lin family’s talent and their close ties to the favored Prince Heng, they wielded significantly more power than other ministers.
Even as a third-class maid, Mo Er Ni’er felt superior with such a powerful backing. The influence of the Lin family allowed her to intimidate others with ease.
After enjoying a period of smooth sailing in the Lin family, seeing Mo Yan and her group today, Mo Er Ni’er decided to scheme against Mo Yan by goading Qiu Yue into causing trouble. She believed that Mo Yan, being merely a powerless village girl, could be easily dealt with using the Lin family’s influence, which would allow her to vent her frustrations.
However, her plans were destined to fail.
Seeing Mo Er Ni’er’s smug expression, Mo Yan remained unperturbed and calmly replied, “The Lin family’s young lady? Even if she has power and influence, does that mean she can bully ordinary people without cause? We haven’t even seen her, let alone offended her. Even if we had, we merely bought two pieces of fabric before you did. Is it that a noble young lady cannot even tolerate such a minor grievance? If word gets out, how will that reflect on her reputation? Or is it that you don’t like your own mistress and are deliberately tarnishing her name?”
Mo Yan stretched her tone, looking at the pale-faced Mo Er Ni’er and Qiu Yue with feigned surprise. “From the looks of you, am I right? Are you deliberately creating trouble to damage the young lady’s reputation?”
Mo Er Ni’er or Qiu Yue, shocked and fearful, did not expect Mo Yan to twist the situation this way. They were now deeply afraid.
If the young lady heard this and even if she believed in their innocence, she wouldn’t let them off easily. The young lady’s temperament meant they would face severe punishment, possibly even being sold to brothels. None of the servants who had angered her before had ended well.

Thinking of this, Mo Er Ni’er wished she could tear Mo Yan apart. Gritting her teeth, she said, “You’re talking nonsense! Our young lady is kind and benevolent. How dare you slander her reputation? I’ll go back and report this to her immediately!”
Frightened, Qiu Yue also reacted, pointing at Mo Yan and shouting, “You sharp-tongued wench! How dare you defame our young lady like this? If we don’t deal with you today, you’ll never know how formidable she is!”
With that, she bypassed Wu Shi and the others, charging at Mo Yan and delivering a heavy slap.
Mo Yan sneered and easily intercepted Qiu Yue’s wrist, twisting and pushing her with a skillful move, sending her sprawling to the ground.
Mo Yan looked at her own hands, brushing off imaginary dust with satisfaction. It seemed that all the farm work and the spiritual spring water had paid off; she had gained considerable strength!
Qiu Yue, frightened, looked at Mo Yan approaching her and scrambled backward, terrified of being struck.
