Chapter 936: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 936: Tooth for a Tooth, Identity Exposed (1)
Although Cui Ping’an seemed like an overgrown child, he was still an adult. To avoid unnecessary gossip, Mo Yan cleaned up an unused room in the mill, brought in a small wooden bed, and let him stay there temporarily.
As someone now “living under someone else’s roof,” Cui Ping’an was full of complaints but dared not voice them. After being chased and tormented by Mao Tuan for half an hour, exhaustion overtook him. He took a warm bath at the Mo residence, changed into Mo Qingze’s clothes, and returned to the mill.
Lying on the narrow, firm bed, Cui Ping’an thought he’d have trouble falling asleep. But with the rhythmic chirping of crickets outside, he unexpectedly drifted off in no time.
Mo Yan, however, remained awake. Ever since learning that Fan Meijiao was plotting against her again, she had been on guard, constantly thinking of ways to strike back. Yet, despite her efforts, she hadn’t come up with the perfect plan.
Fan Meijiao was already engaged to that Mu family’s Second Young Master. Once married, she would undoubtedly suffer. Mo Yan had no intention of changing that. If anything, she had to ensure Fan Meijiao’s fate remained unchanged. That meant her revenge couldn’t be too obvious—if the Mu family found out and called off the engagement, wouldn’t that be letting Fan Meijiao off too easily?
[Yan Yan, just do as you originally planned—use her own tricks against her. That vicious woman is trying to ruin your reputation, so why not return the favor? As long as the Mu family remains unaware, it’ll be fine!] Xue Tuanzi’s voice suddenly echoed in her mind.
“Easy for you to say. If it were that simple, do you think I’d still be waiting?” Mo Yan shook her head helplessly.
Xue Tuanzi was incredibly resourceful and could undoubtedly come up with a solution. But Mo Yan didn’t want to rely on it every time she faced a challenge. If one day Xue Tuanzi were no longer by her side, would she be left powerless?
[No, no, no! Yan Yan, don’t worry! I won’t leave you!] Sensing her thoughts, Xue Tuanzi immediately reassured her.
Mo Yan smiled slightly, stepping into her space and catching the fluffy creature as it flew toward her. “I know you won’t leave me. But you once said I need to grow. If I had been strong enough in my past life, I could have protected myself and saved those children at the kindergarten. Then that scum wouldn’t have taken us hostage, and I wouldn’t have died such a horrible death.”
She couldn’t bear to imagine how heartbroken her family must have been after she died. Fortunately, she had accumulated enough merit to be given a chance to see them again in her past life. If she hadn’t been reborn in this world, her family here would have met a tragic fate, leaving her utterly alone. That was something she never wanted to experience.
She couldn’t have both families at once, but this was already the best possible outcome—at least her loved ones in both lives were safe.
However, if she lacked the strength to protect herself when danger struck, even the space wouldn’t be able to save her. She had to stop relying on it so much and truly improve her abilities. This time, she would use Fan Meijiao as practice.
Seeing her determination, Xue Tuanzi was overjoyed and readily agreed. [Then go for it! No matter what you decide to do, I’ll support you!]
“Mm.” Mo Yan stroked its round, fluffy body, feeling more confident than before. She carefully calculated how to strike back at Fan Meijiao while keeping the Mu family in the dark. Once the marriage was sealed, she would reveal the truth, ensuring Fan Meijiao’s life in the Mu household would be… eventful.
With Xue Tuanzi’s encouragement, Mo Yan calmed her mind and thought things through carefully. Eventually, a devious smile spread across her lips as she devised the perfect plan. Without delay, she released one of her birds, assigning it to keep a close watch on Fan Meijiao’s personal maid—the one carrying out her dirty work.
