Gu Zhi and Ling Qingwan tried to comfort her for a long time but to no avail. They had no choice but to dock early and send Zhang Shuying back home.
"Shu Ying."
Arriving at the gate of Zhang's house, Ling Qingwan called out to Zhang Shuying.
"The Mohist school..."
"After this incident, I have thought it through. Although the young master of the Mo family is excellent, he is not a good man for me. What I want is someone who will stand by me unconditionally and believe in me no matter what happens, rather than someone who doubts me. I will never get married again."
Zhang Shuying knew what Ling Qingwan was going to ask.
"That's great." Ling Qingwan nodded in satisfaction. "You're right, that young master of the Mo family is not a good man. You will definitely meet someone better in the future."
"I hope so." Zhang Shuying smiled.
After saying that, she greeted Gu Zhi and then got off the carriage.
On the Mo family's side, after Ling Qingwan and others returned to their boat, Mo Cheng and Mo Xiang took Cheng Qianxin back to the Mo Mansion.
Mrs. Mo was puzzled when she saw Cheng Qianxin, who was soaked to the skin.
"Take her away to change her clothes first." Mo Cheng ordered the maid beside him.
The maid responded.
"You go with them." Mo Cheng said to Mo Xiang again.
"I'm not going!" Mo Xiang refused.
Who knows what Mo Cheng will say to Madam Mo after she leaves.
Mrs. Mo knew her children well. Seeing them like this and Cheng Qianxin falling into the water, although she didn't know what had happened, she guessed that Mo Cheng had something on his mind.
"Xiang'er, be obedient." Madam Mo and Mo Cheng persuaded Mo Xiang together. "It's cold now, and it's not a good idea for Qianxin to stay like this. If you care about her health, be obedient and take Qianxin downstairs to change clothes."
Seeing Cheng Qianshi shivering with cold, Mo Xiang couldn't bear it and had to agree.
After all, the two grew up together, and Mo Xiang and Cheng Qianxin have a really good relationship.
After a few people left, only Madam Mo and Mo Cheng were left around. The two went to the hall and sat down. Mo Cheng told Madam Mo everything that had just happened on the houseboat.
“This Cheng Qianxin!”
Mrs. Mo was furious after hearing this.
She had kept Cheng Qianxin by her side since she was a child, but she had never thought that Cheng Qianxin would develop feelings for her own son.
"Lord Zhang and Madam Zhang are very upset that Miss Zhang has been bullied like this. It seems that this marriage really cannot be completed!" Madam Mo sighed helplessly.
God knows how much their family paid in order to marry into the Zhang family.
I never thought that my life would be ruined by Cheng Qianxin like this. How could Mrs. Mo feel good about it
"Miss Zhang told me that she would discuss with her parents and cancel the marriage when she returns." Mo Cheng lowered his eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable.
He also has a good impression of Zhang Shuying.
By marrying into the Zhang family, he could gain a powerful backer and marry his beloved. This was clearly a win-win situation, but Cheng Qianxin showed up halfway...
The more he thought about it, the more sick he felt.
"Mom, don't worry. I will visit the Zhang family tomorrow and apologize to Miss Zhang. Even if this marriage doesn't take place, we can't let our two families have grudges in the future." Mo Cheng comforted Mrs. Mo.
As the eldest son of the Mo family, shouldering the heavy responsibility of bringing honor to the family, how could Mo Cheng be naive
He was very clear about these matters concerning power and interests.
Now that the marriage with the Zhang family is irreversible, Mo Cheng can only find ways to minimize the losses.
"I'll go with you." Madam Mo suggested. "I'll go with you, so that we can show our sincerity. Your father is in great need of help in the court, and we must not fall out with the Zhang family."
"Okay." Mo Cheng agreed.
backyard.
Mo Xiang watched Cheng Qianxin change her clothes, confirmed that she was fine, and left first.
Mo Xiang was also depressed when this happened.
Ling Qingwan actually contradicted and accused her in front of several people, and Mo Xiang was very unconvinced.
Cheng Qianxin was even more unconvinced.
She sat in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror, and couldn't figure out what was wrong with her and why Mo Cheng didn't like her.
Is it because I am not good-looking? Or am I not gentle enough
But what's so good about that Shu Ying
When Cheng Qianxin thought of Zhang Shuying, she couldn't help but feel angry.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the door was kicked open from outside.
Cheng Qian was startled.
Mrs. Mo rushed in angrily, and before Cheng Qianxin could react, she immediately walked up to her and slapped her in the face.
Madam Mo used all her strength and Cheng Qianxin fell to the ground.
"Aunt, you..." Cheng Qianxin covered half of her face and looked at Mrs. Mo in disbelief.
Although she was not Madam Mo's biological daughter, Madam Mo had never laid a hand on her over the years.
This is the first time.
"Cheng Qianxin, have I ever done anything wrong to you?" Madam Mo asked Cheng Qianxin.
"No." Cheng Qianxin choked and shook her head.
"Have I ever saved your food and clothes? Have you ever suffered any injustice in my Mo Mansion?" Mrs. Mo asked again.
Cheng Qianxin still shook her head.
Madam Mo treated her with all her heart. Cheng Qianxin had everything that Mo Xiang had, and she never treated her unfairly.
"Since you have nothing, why do you want to harm our Mo family?" Mrs. Mo took a deep breath and resisted the urge to beat Cheng Qianxin again.
"Aunt, Qianxin has never thought of harming the Mo family. In Qianxin's heart, I have long regarded you as my biological mother, and this is Qianxin's home. How could Qianxin think of harming the Mo family?" Cheng Qianxin pouted, looking aggrieved.
Unfortunately, Madam Mo couldn't stand her like this.
"You framed Miss Zhang today and cancelled Cheng'er's marriage with Miss Zhang. You are harming our Mo family!" Madam Mo snorted. "Cheng Qianxin, you came to our Mo family when you were five or six years old. At that time, your parents passed away and no one in the Cheng family wanted you. I couldn't bear it and brought you to my side."
"Over the years, for my deceased brother and sister-in-law, I have treated you with all my heart and soul, if not better than Mo Xiang. Ask yourself, have I ever wronged you? What about you? Is this how you treat me?"
The more Mrs. Mo thought about it, the angrier she became.
If I had known Cheng Qianxin would do these things, I should not have brought her around.
"Auntie, I know I was wrong." Cheng Qianxin choked up. "Also, don't just listen to Zhang Shuying's one-sided words. I was the one who was pushed into the water, not her. I am the one who was wronged."
"Well, you've been wronged." Madam Mo nodded, her words full of sarcasm. "We in the Mo family can't let go of a great Buddha like you. Tomorrow I'll ask the Cheng family to take you away. From now on, whether you live or die has nothing to do with me."
"I don't!"
When Cheng Qianxin heard that Madam Mo wanted to drive her away, she was immediately terrified.
The Cheng family is not a good family. If she goes back to the Cheng family, she would be walking into a tiger's mouth.
Cheng Qian felt terrified at the thought.
She quickly knelt down, hugged Mrs. Mo's thighs and begged for mercy.
Mrs. Mo has made up her mind, and no one's persuasion will work.
