Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 1708: Old Lady Mo Has Gone Mad

Chuner was very excited, taking the little bird and unable to put it down, nodding promptly and saying joyfully, "Mm, mm, mm, don't worry, sister, Chuner will definitely complete the task."

The nature of children is to love small animals, and Chuner was no exception.

"Sister, what's its name?"

"It's called Xiao Jiu."

"Xiao Jiu?"

"Yeah! Didn't you hear it always chirping jiu-jiu-jiu?"

As soon as Xuexue finished speaking, the little bird chirped jiu-jiu-jiu again.

Chuner and Xiao Gougou heard this and burst into laughter, saying while laughing, "It really lives up to its name, doesn't it?"

Xuexue straightened her face and said seriously, "Wrong."

Chuner stifled his laughter, puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It should be 'the bird lives up to its name.'" After saying this, Xuexue laughed; she was just teasing them!

The two little ones were stunned for a moment, then laughed even louder, nodding repeatedly, "Right, right, sister's absolutely right."

Such happy days went on for a few more days, until Xuexue decided to return to the Capital in a couple of days. Although Madam Xie was very sad, she also understood that her daughter couldn't possibly stay in Mo Family Village forever and reluctantly agreed.

The next day, Xuexue took a carriage to town, entrusted the matters of the Yihong Brothel and the flower shop, telling the shopkeepers to manage the stores well and assuring them they wouldn't be shortchanged.

Then she bought some daily necessities in town and took the carriage back. As she passed by the broken temple at the village entrance, she saw Old Lady Mo, dressed in tattered clothes, with disheveled hair, sitting on the ground. Upon seeing a carriage approaching, she held a cracked bowl and dashed to the middle of the road, blocking the carriage's way...

"Master, madam, have mercy on an old woman, and reward me with some silver."

The carriage was galloping swiftly, and Old Lady Mo dashed out like this, frightening the driver to death; he hastily pulled the reins tight, shouting loudly, "Whoa, whoa…!"

It was just a step away from being trampled by the hooves, scaring the driver so much that his soul scatter; after stopping, he couldn't help but curse, "You old beggar woman, do you have a death wish? If you want to die, do it far away, don't drag me into it."

This old woman nearly turned him into a murderer, and the driver was burning with rage.

Old Lady Mo was also scared half to death; she was starving. With no other choice, she resorted to this desperate measure. Her two sons hadn't brought her food for a long time for some reason. She had been eating tree roots for several days, so hungry that she was weak all over, feeling like she would die without more food. Dizzy from hunger, she vaguely saw a carriage coming in the distance.

In her anxiousness, she dashed out, not knowing she nearly died under the hooves, breaking out in a cold sweat.

A woman's voice rose from inside the carriage, "What happened? Why did the carriage stop?"

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Mo's eyes widened immediately. This voice she had heard for over a dozen years, naturally, it was very familiar. She got up from the ground, rushed toward the carriage, wailing continuously, "Xuexue, Xuexue, it's your grandmother!"

Inside the carriage, Xuexue frowned. Why did she encounter this old woman again?

Zi Xia stood up and said, "Miss, I'll go and drive her away." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Mm."

Xuexue nodded; she didn't want to see the old woman anymore. The Mo Family Ancestral Home's current fate was largely due to her.

Indeed, if she hadn't favored sons over daughters, been partial to Mo Hengjian, obliging him in everything since childhood, Mo Hengjian's character wouldn't have become so selfish and ruthless. He wouldn't have killed Old Master Mo for a woman; if he hadn't had problems, Madam Ruan wouldn't have gone insane and set the old residence on fire, burning the two Mo brothers to death.
