Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 1658: Joke
"No."
Mo Shaoxingโs short response plunged Madam Ruan and her daughter into the depths of hell. ๐๐ฃ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐ง๐๐.๐๐๐บ
Mo Xiuzhi was even more dumbfounded. She looked up, unable to believe her ears as she gazed at Mo Shaoxing, "Brother Xing, what are you saying?"
Mo Shaoxing didnโt dare to meet her eyes. In the past, before he had passed the Juren exams, he never thought about marrying Mo Xiuzhi; he just wanted to have some fun with her.
Now that he had passed the Juren exams, which meant embarking on an official career path, marrying Mo Xiuzhi was even more out of the question.
Besides, Mo Xiuzhi was just an ordinary village girl, without family power or influence. If the old residence and Xuexue hadnโt had a falling out, he might consider it, since the War Prince is famous throughout the land. With his protection, his career would definitely be smooth and prosperous. However, since Xuexue and the people at the old residence have severed ties, Mo Shaoxing was even less likely to marry her.
As Mo Shaoxing remained silent, Mo Xiuzhi grew even more anxious. Heavily pregnant, she walked up to Mo Shaoxing, grabbing his arm and shaking it vigorously, "Brother Xing, Brother Xing, say something. Didnโt you promise me that day to have your parents send a matchmaker to my house for a proposal? Iโve been waiting for you for so long."
Mo Shaoxing shook off her hand, saying expressionlessly, "Miss Mo, please behave yourself. Iโm not sure what youโre talking about."
He was, after all, a Juren, and he would become an official in the future. He couldnโt lose face in front of the villagers.
The once intimate lovers now turned strangers, Mo Xiuzhi looked at his familiar yet unfamiliar face, heartbroken, "You promised to marry me. How can you just turn your back on me like this?"
Mo Xiuzhi was truly frightened this time. Mo Shaoxing was her only way out. Initially, she thought sheโd be settling for less marrying Mo Shaoxing after failing to marry the Great General Situ. Who knew that even when she lowered herself, he still wouldnโt want her.
Mo Shaoxing repeated, "Miss Mo, I donโt know what youโre talking about."
Madam Ruan was enraged upon hearing this, shouting at the top of her lungs, "Hey! Young Master Mo, arenโt you an educated man? How can you say such heartless things? At the beginning, when you tricked my daughter into being with you, you were full of sweet words. Now that youโre bored, you turn your back and deny her. How can things be this convenient in this world?"
Madam Ruan, a woman married for over a decade, was as good at cursing as anyone. She spouted whatever came to mind.
The village headโs face turned quite unpleasant, "Sister-in-law Ruan, donโt speak nonsense without evidence."
Madam Ruan protested, "Evidence? My daughterโs belly is the evidence."
Mo Shaoxing retorted, "Who can prove the child in her belly is mine? Sheโs been involved with so many men."
Mo Xiuzhi widened her eyes, incredulously looking at Mo Shaoxing, "What are you saying?"
"Donโt think I donโt know. In the Capital, you tried to seduce Great General Situ and even wanted to pin the child on him. The General saw through your ambitions and kicked you out of the Generalโs Mansion, so you came back trying to blame the child on me. Iโm telling you, thatโs not happening."
"How...how do you know?"
"If you donโt want people to know, donโt do it."
"Brother Xing, you have to believe me, the child in my belly is really yours."
Mo Shaoxing, afraid of saying more and making mistakes, didnโt want to pay her any more attention. He turned to the village head and said, "Dad, Iโve had enough to eat, Iโll head home first."
The village head was also quite troubled. Madam Ruan and her daughter were adamant that the child in Mo Xiuzhiโs belly was his sonโs, yet his son denied it. The villagers were all watching for the spectacle. The village head waved his hand helplessly, "Hmm! You can head back first."
