The Beautiful County Magistrate-Chapter 761

Mo Hongyan’s words pierced Mo Hai’s heart.

Just as Mo Hongyan had said, originally Mo Hai was merely an insignificant side branch member of the Mo Family, so insignificant that he wasn’t even qualified to attend family gatherings, let alone enter the Mo Family mansion.

It was Mo Hongyan and her husband who had taken a liking to him twenty years ago and began nurturing him, step by step supporting and promoting him until he reached his current status.

It was fair to say that his achievements today were solely granted by Mo Hongyan and her husband.

But what of it? He was already the third-ranking member of the Mo Family, and if he wanted to advance further, he needed to make some breakthroughs.

Betraying Mo Hongyan and siding with Mo Kui would bring him more benefits.

Mo Kui had already promised him that once Mo Kui took over as the Family Head, he would be the Mo Family’s second in command, and could even share the stunning beauty, Mo Hongyan, with him.

The first time he saw Mo Hongyan twenty years ago, he was awe-struck, dreaming of having her for himself.

However, due to his lack of power, he never dared to show it and could only keep it hidden in his heart.

Now that he had the opportunity to act against Mo Hongyan and dominate this haughty woman, he would not miss the chance!

As for any sense of morality or loyalty, he considered them worthless!

With a sneering laugh, Mo Hai loudly exclaimed.

"I, Mo Hai, have earned my current status step by step, completely independent of anyone else! Mo Hongyan, you still think you’re the matriarch of the Mo Family. What right do you have to be so confrontational in front of me?"

"As Mo Kui said, you’re nothing now. If you want to have good days ahead, you’d better behave yourself. For your beauty alone, we won’t mistreat you, and we’ll make sure you’re well taken care of!"

Mo Hai swallowed hard, wishing he could immediately throw Mo Hongyan to the ground, tear off her cumbersome skirt, and have his way with her.

He had coveted her body for twenty years, and finally, he had the opportunity to indulge, finally about to fulfill his desire.

Hahaha, good, really good.

Mo Hongyan, faced with Mo Hai’s rudeness, showed no displeasure but instead turned her gaze to the other members of the Mo Family.

"Besides Mo Hai, who else wants to pull me, Mo Hongyan, down and elevate Mo Kui to power?"

"I want to see, the people and forces that my husband and I painstakingly supported over more than twenty years, transforming a third-rate clan into the leading family in Wangdong Province, what kind of people you all are."

Hearing this, the members of the Mo Family looked at each other, and eventually, all stood behind Mo Kui, showing their stance with their actions.

Since they had come here, they were all supporting Mo Kui, having already received promises of benefits from Mo Kui, and had long decided to turn against Mo Hongyan. They wouldn’t change their stance at this critical juncture.

"Aunt Hongyan, it’s not that we side with elder uncle against you, but it’s really not suitable for a woman to manage the family affairs, and it must be hard for you. You should step down and let elder uncle manage our family. Rest assured, the contributions you and second uncle have made to our family won’t be forgotten. You can still keep your current residence. However, the antiques, calligraphies, and paintings inside, as well as the cash and jewelry you possess, must be handed over to the family."

"You’re absolutely right, after all, a woman is still a woman. How could she manage a large family like the Mo Family? It should be handed over to the eldest brother, he is the most suitable candidate to be the Family Head. As for you, Second Sister-in-law, a woman doesn’t need that many things. Having enough to eat and drink, and a place to live, is enough. It’s best if you see the situation clearly and humble yourself for your own good."

"The circumstances are overwhelming, Hongyan can’t help but bow her head. With the Second Brother gone, her, a woman, controlling such a large family business, what if she gets involved with another man sometime in the future? Then outsiders would benefit from our Mo Family’s fortune, and that can’t be allowed to happen. Hongyan, you better agree quickly and hand over everything for us to manage. Oh, right, and Yudie, her marriage must follow the family’s arrangements. The same goes for you, you must obey whoever we say you should marry!"

The people of the Mo Family not only stood behind Mo Kui but also shouted in agreement.

Oh, Hongyan, oh, Hongyan, the era that belonged to you in the Mo Family has completely ended.

Listening to these words, Hongyan wholly lost heart.

"So, you all stand with Mo Kui, right? Good, very good, I have thoroughly seen through all of you. The twenty years of effort I and my husband put in, and it turns out we raised a bunch of ingrates. I must have been blind. And all thanks to Mo Kui, who let me see you for what you really are, see the Mo Family clearly!"

"I declare that from now on, you’re expelled from the Mo Family. Everything you gained from the Mo Family, the power, wealth, and such, must all be handed over. I want all of you to become penniless and beg on the streets!"

"Don’t think I’m joking. I’m serious!"

Hongyan had still held a little hope for these people, hoping that at least a few of them wouldn’t be so ungrateful.

But how wrong she was about human nature. In the face of interests, the descendants of the Mo Family were utterly ungrateful, each one cruel and heartless, worthless creatures.

These scoundrels still thought they could enjoy a life of glory and riches relying on the resources of the Mo Family? Dream on!

She wanted to exact severe revenge on these scoundrels, make them all become beggars, eating leftovers from garbage bins!

Hearing Hongyan’s words, the descendants of the Mo Family were stunned, taken aback.

After a while, suddenly someone laughed, and soon after, everyone burst into laughter, laughing uncontrollably.

Haha, she’s gone mad, Hongyan has surely gone crazy.

Didn’t she see that all the descendants of the Mo Family were already standing with Mo Kui, supporting Mo Kui as the new Family Head?

Hongyan, no longer the Family Head, is nothing now. How dare she demand all descendants of the Mo Family leave with nothing?

Even if she were the Family Head, she doesn’t have the ability to do that!

After enough laughter, Mo Kui said, "Sister-in-law, you must be delirious from the shock, right? You still think you can make all of us homeless and turn us into beggars? What grounds do you have, and what can you possibly do? You couldn’t possibly be thinking of asking your family to intervene, right? Even if your family did step in, could they easily settle us? Don’t forget, the Mo Family of Wangdong Province isn’t to be trifled with!"

"I broke off relations with my maternal family a long time ago, of course, I won’t use their power. The force I intend to use is a more terrifying existence than my maternal family, ten times stronger—it’s Yudie’s boyfriend!"

Since she had decided to act, there was no point in hiding anything. Hongyan directly revealed Xu Qianli, the formidable figure.

Hearing her words, the descendants of the Mo Family turned their eyes to Xu Qianli.

Yudie’s boyfriend was undoubtedly him; who was this guy? Could he be some top heir from a super-wealthy family in Beijing?
