Chapter 774: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 774: The Mystery of Her Origins (3)
“No, Yan Yan, think of a way! You’ll definitely have a way! I beg you!” Du Shi refused to believe it, clinging to the hope that her daughter could save her husband, just as she had once saved her. This was her only hope, and she would not let go.
Mo Yan was on the verge of losing her patience. Had she known this trouble would come, she would have had the hidden guards knock Du Shi unconscious and send her back to her old home. But now, it was too late to regret.
“Du Shi, Chen Ji has committed a crime punishable by death. To think you could save him is wishful thinking. Even if you beg me, I can’t save him. You’d better give up on this idea!”
“No, you’ll have a way! I know you have a way…” Du Shi was on the verge of madness, unable to listen to Mo Yan’s explanation. She stubbornly believed that Mo Yan could save Chen Ji, and that was her only hope. She would never let go.
Mo Yan clenched her teeth in frustration. She knew that continuing to argue with Du Shi would be pointless. Her only option now was to have the hidden guards knock Du Shi unconscious and take her away. Otherwise, as long as Chen Ji remained alive, Du Shi would never stop bothering her.
But for now, she had to get rid of Du Shi’s clinging presence. Mo Yan coldly said, “Fine, give me one good reason to save Chen Ji. If you can give me a reason, I will save him.”
Du Shi, hearing that Mo Yan had relented, was overjoyed. Without a second thought, she blurted out the secret she had kept hidden for years. “You are Brother Ji’s daughter. Brother Ji is your real father!”
The words fell like a thunderclap, not only shocking Mo Yan to her core but also devastating Mo Qingze, who had been approaching and had heard the conversation.
“What? Chen Ji is her real father?” Mo Yan stood frozen, staring at Du Shi in disbelief, unable to process what she had just heard.
“Du Wenlan, you’re despicable!” Mo Qingze, his eyes red with rage, stormed out, glaring at Du Shi. For the first time, he felt a murderous urge toward her.
He didn’t know what had happened, but he would never allow anyone to destroy his family’s peace.
Mo Qingze had always been gentle and tolerant. Even when angry, he had never lost control like this. This side of him frightened Du Shi, who quickly suppressed her fear. With a bitter laugh, she retorted, “Even if I, Du Wenlan, am despicable, what right do you have to say that to me? If only you had been more considerate, if only you had understood me better, I wouldn’t have suffered at the hands of your dear second uncle’s family. I wouldn’t have been forced to separate from my three children! All of this was caused by you!”
But just like Mo Yan, Mo Qingze had no desire to argue about who was right or wrong in the past. He quickly walked over to his daughter, gently saying, “Yan’er, you are my daughter, always have been. Don’t listen to her nonsense; she’s lying to you!”
Mo Yan snapped out of her stupor and looked at her father, seeing the deep concern on his face. Her heart softened. “Father, I know!” she reassured him. “I know I’m your daughter. Otherwise, how could I inherit the Ancient Jade Space without the bloodline of the Mo family?”
For a brief moment, Du Shi’s words had indeed shaken her. She hadn’t expected that inheriting the Ancient Jade Space required the Mo family’s bloodline. However, her father was unaware of the space’s existence. While he was certain Du Shi was lying, trusting that she was his daughter, did he truly have no doubts deep down?
Mo Yan pondered how to explain everything to her father when the time was right. She didn’t want him to harbor any doubts in his heart. But for now, the most pressing matter was to deal with Du Shi. She couldn’t allow her to appear in front of her younger siblings or the villagers again. If that happened, the ridicule and humiliation her siblings had suffered in Mo Village would likely be repeated.
