The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 1247 - 285: Grand Finale Part 1_13

Mo Dun was silent for a while. His most beloved woman, whom he had nurtured for ten years, had never warmed to him. She had promised to marry him and be loyal, but...

Soon Su Chanjun also came over and suggested to Mo Er and Mo Dun that they recognize Mo Heng and Pei Qin back into the Mo family. "It’s not about whether recognizing them now is a loss or a gain. If this continues, the master will ruin his reputation, and the Mo family will also be greatly impacted—it will either decline or perish!"

The other members of the Mo family also agreed to recognize Mo Heng back into the clan. It wasn’t just because he now held the title of Marquis of Xining; Pei Qin was of a rank Above First Rank at the Tiance Deity General Mansion and wielded great power. Given the current situation, it was clear that Mo Heng bore hatred for the second branch and sought to take revenge on the whole Mo family.

No one asked for many benefits; being able to coexist peacefully would be good. Because of his power and status now, it would be too easy for him to deal with the Mo family!

Mo Er, as the clan leader, took this matter seriously and formally sent out a visiting card, intending to meet with the couple, Mo Heng and Pei Qin.

Mo Heng glanced at the visiting card and then casually tossed it aside. "What’s for dinner today?"

The young maid replied, "There are sugar garlic, soy cucumber, cold cucumber salad, fried squid strips, braised eel slices, and beef soup."

After hearing this, Mo Heng slightly frowned. "Are there soaked fringe and fish lips available?"

The young maid shook her head. "We have fresh shads, yellow croakers, and lobsters."

"Have the kitchen prepare a steamed shad," Mo Heng instructed and then entered the room.

The young maid went to pass the message to the kitchen.

The head chef was waiting. Upon hearing the maid’s message, he gave his apprentice a knowing look. See! The lady said she didn’t want to eat it, but when the marquis comes back, he definitely asks for it to be made!

The apprentice immediately gave his master a thumbs up, quickly took out the prepared shad, and put it in the steamer.

Pei Qin was still fiddling with a resin painting in the room.

In a large shallow bowl, there were lotus flowers and leaves, underneath which swam several koi fish.

Mo Heng entered the room and embraced her from behind, kissing her on the neck.

Pei Qin turned to look at him, setting down her paintbrush. "Did you see Mo Dun? Or was it Su Chanjun?"

Mo Heng had not told her about his actions, but she seemed to already understand.

"Mo Er delivered a visiting card, wanting to discuss the matter of recognizing ancestors," Mo Heng said sarcastically.

"Just let them come to me!" Pei Qin cursed.

Soon, Mo Er came to visit when Mo Heng wasn’t there and saw Pei Qin.

Pei Qin put down her pen, came out to meet him, "Mr. Elder Mo graces my humble abode, to what do I owe this honor?"

As the head of the Mo family and elder of the clan, Mo Er’s personal visit was a significant gesture of respect. Additionally, other family members such as Fourth Master Mo and Seventh Master Mo also came along to advocate.

Pei Qin casually glanced, advanced forward, and took the seat of honor.

Fourth Master Mo and Seventh Master Mo both felt that Pei Qin was being arrogantly overbearing—something unthinkable for the Mo family to accept in a daughter-in-law for generations. But given that they now needed something from her, they could not object to it any longer.

Mo Er clasped his hands together. "Madam Pei, pardon the intrusion. I believe Madam is already aware of the matter for which we are here today. The second branch lacks descendants; Mo Heng, as the eldest legitimate son of the second branch should now return to the clan! This would rightfully record you and your dear children into our family register, reuniting the family." freewebnσvel.cøm

Pei Qin chuckled scornfully, "Originally, you were the ones who decided to cast him out of the clan, now you say to let him return? Does the Mo family possess mountains of gold and silver to inherit? Or is your face so big that whatever you say goes?"

Seeing her disagreement, Mo Er explained further that the decision to cast out Mo Heng was a misunderstanding, and now that it has been resolved, Mo Heng should return to the clan. Pei Qin is Mo Heng’s wife, and Jiujiu and Xixi are of Mo family’s bloodline.

Fourth Master Mo and Seventh Master Mo lectured Pei Qin at length about bloodline and heritage.

Pei Qin dug her ear, "Old lady doesn’t understand books; I can’t understand your rhetoric!"

Fourth Master Mo and Seventh Master Mo immediately looked displeased when strung along in words, "Mo Heng is of Mo family’s bloodline; recognizing ancestors is a moral right!"

"What did you say? I frequently fight in wars, and my hearing isn’t so good! Didn’t catch that!" Pei Qin raised her voice and asked.

Fourth Master Mo, realizing she was feigning ignorance, sternly also raised his voice, "Mo Heng is of the Mo family bloodline..."

Pei Qin took a sip of tea, listening to him speak, and then spurted a mouthful of tea directly across all three faces.

"You..." Fourth Master Mo, enraged and turning blue, stood up pointing at Pei Qin.

Mo Er and Seventh Master Mo also looked displeased.

Pei Qin hastily reached out.

Huang Qiu handed her the teacup and passed a handkerchief to her.

Pei Qin wiping her mouth, exclaimed, "Oh my goodness! This news has scared me to death! Mo Heng is actually of Mo family’s bloodline? Which of you Mo family members bore him? Have you confirmed it with blood testing?"
