The Beautiful County Magistrate-Chapter 760

Today’s family gathering was entirely orchestrated by Mo Kui; frankly, it was nothing but a Hongmen banquet, a trap specifically laid to deal with Mo Hongyan and her daughter Mo Yudie.

After a great deal of waiting, the two of them finally arrived, but to everyone’s surprise, they were seen gallivanting on horseback in the grasslands with a man, completely neglecting Mo Kui.

Riding horses was one thing, but to see his great-niece Mo Yudie getting cozy and affectionate with a man was utterly shocking to him.

He had planned on using her as a bargaining chip to gain the position of Family Head, to have her sleep with men one after another, in order to smooth out connections or win over distinguished guests.

But who would have thought, who could have imagined, that she actually had a boyfriend now? Talk about a surprise.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Mo Kui rode over to inquire and suss out the new guy’s background.

After all, Mo Yudie suddenly having a boyfriend was an unforeseen variable; he just hoped this wouldn’t interfere with his grand plans.

Mo Yudie simply ignored Mo Kui’s words as if she hadn’t heard them, continuing to be sweet and affectionate with Xu Qianli.

Mo Hongyan said, "Big brother, who Yudie is with is none of your concern. After all, you’re just her uncle, and it seems you don’t have much say in these matters."

Mo Kui replied, "Look at you, little sister, putting it that way; as her uncle and her elder, can’t I take an interest in my niece’s love life? Or are you suggesting I’m not qualified?"

Mo Hongyan retorted sharply, "Since you know everything, big brother, why bother saying it? It’s an unpleasant subject to bring up. If you’re still unclear, I can spell it out for you: you indeed have no right to meddle in Yudie’s love life—you’re not worthy!"

"You!"

Mo Kui’s smile froze.

Well, Mo Hongyan, that’s quite bold of you, daring to disrespect me to my face and making me lose face like this. What nerve!

It seems she’s still oblivious to today’s circumstances; she still thinks she’s the esteemed Mo Family Mistress, holding on to power.

Hmph, stupid woman, you have no idea what’s going on, do you? I’m curious to see if you can remain as arrogant later on!

After regaining his composure, Mo Kui reverted to his facade of politeness, "Little sister, that’s not right of you to say. No matter what, as the elder, I should take an interest in my niece. Of course, if you’re unwilling to talk, I won’t force you. Oh, right, where’s Mo Shengjie? Didn’t I ask him to invite you over? You’re here, so where is he?"

Mo Hongyan said nonchalantly, "Hospital."

"What, the hospital? Why would he be at the hospital when he was perfectly fine?" asked Mo Kui.

"He wouldn’t be at the hospital if he were perfectly fine, but he got injured and is currently undergoing emergency treatment. Lucky for him, he might just save his life, though he’ll probably spend the rest of his days paralyzed in bed. If he’s unlucky, big brother, you’ll soon be mourning the loss of your kin. What’s the matter? Do you think I’m joking? If you don’t believe me, why not call the People’s Hospital to find out? See if I’m merely joking."

Mo Hongyan spoke with a smile, prodding Mo Kui with every word.

You lowlife have been plotting against me for so long, haven’t you? Especially today with your elaborate trap. But I, Mo Hongyan, won’t be courteous to you!

Mo Kui couldn’t maintain his composure any longer and quickly gestured to his men, who immediately tried to call Mo Shengjie; the calls went unanswered.

He called Mo Shengjie’s men again, but still couldn’t get through.

Out of options, he quickly called the hospital and soon received concrete news: Mo Shengjie had been taken to the hospital for emergency treatment.

That guy had both his legs broken and his chest severely injured. When he was brought to the hospital, he was barely hanging on. Now, he was in the resuscitation room, and it wasn’t yet known if he could be saved.

After finding out what happened, his men informed Mo Kui, whose face suddenly darkened, the facade of the amiable tiger gone, replaced by a ferociously angry one. His eyes burned with hatred, and his hand pointed furiously at Mo Hongyan.

"You bitch, daring to harm my son, letting someone beat him up so badly he’s in critical care, uncertain if his life can even be saved, you’re ruthless!"

"Do you still think you’re the matriarch of the Mo Family, that you can be so domineering, you’re looking for death! I’m telling you, the Mo Family of today isn’t the same as before. Now, the people of the Mo Family listen to me, and they have all agreed to make me the new Family Head. You’re nothing but a dog fart in my eyes, just a pretty-looking slut, yet you dared to hurt my son, nearly killing him, I’ll never forgive you!"

Mo Kui was beyond furious.

He had carefully laid out all his plans in secret, ready to deal with Mo Hongyan, strip her of everything, and even treat her as a plaything. How did things turn out that she struck first, crippling his son, Mo Shengjie? 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Not only did she act first, but she also came to the horse stable, what gave her such confidence?

The people of the Mo Family were clearly standing behind him, Mo Kui. Where did Mo Hongyan get the power to fight him?

Could it have been her maternal family? But since her father died, her maternal family had conflicts with her and no longer supported her.

Many more people rode in on horses, the big shots of the Mo Family couldn’t wait to rush over.

Mo Hai, whose influence in the Mo Family was only second to Mo Hongyan and Mo Kui, said, "Mo Kui, what’s the matter with you? Why do you look so terrible, what happened?"

Between gritted teeth, Mo Kui said, "A big problem! That bitch, Mo Hongyan, almost killed my son. He’s still in the hospital being rescued, and no one knows if he can be saved!"

"Damn, is there really such a thing?"

Not just Mo Hai, but all the people of the Mo Family were shocked.

Mo Hongyan was quite formidable, but not so cruel, was she? To almost kill Mo Shengjie — was she prepared to completely sever ties with Mo Kui?

And here they thought Mo Hongyan was already dead meat on the chopping block. It seems that taking her down won’t be so easy.

Mo Kui glared death at Mo Hongyan and said venomously, "You dare to harm my son, I will never let you off lightly. If he dies, I will have your life! Before that, I will deal with you thoroughly and let you understand what it costs to offend me!"

Mo Hongyan raised an eyebrow, "I am the Mo Family Master, do you dare to move against me?"

"Bullshit Mo Family Master, the current Mo Family Master is me, Mo Kui! Mo Hai, tell her so she understands her current situation clearly," boasted Mo Kui.

Before Mo Hai could make a peep, Mo Hongyan’s gaze fell upon him.

"Mo Hai, you’re just an inconsequential figure from a side branch of the Mo Family, with no chance of entering the family core. It was because I saw your potential that my husband promoted you, cultivating you step by step, allowing you to grow, and even made you the third in command of our Mo Family."

"So what now, seeing my husband dead and only Yudie and me, a widow and orphan left, you, whom we raised from scratch, choose to betray us and become a dog for others?"
