Chapter 688: 690, I hope you won’t regret it (first update)

"You!" impatience had already surfaced in the eyes of the old Madam of the Mo family.

Although it was Tong Zhi’s fault this time, Tong Zhi was her own younger sister, and the old Madam of the Mo family simply could not do such a thing.

Doing so would not only hurt Tong Zhi’s heart but also damage the sisterly love between them.

Luo Yu’s demand was really too much!

"What do you mean ’you’?" Luo Yu continued, "Between me and the four children in my belly, you make the choice. In the future, if I ever see that woman in the Mo family again, I guarantee that I will completely disappear from your sight."

Her last sentence was tinged with a strong threat.

The old Madam of the Mo family was shocked.

"Are you not overdoing it a bit?" the old Madam of the Mo family frowned slightly.

"Am I overdoing it?" A scornful smile appeared on Luo Yu’s lips, "think carefully, is it me who has gone too far, or is it her? If you were in my shoes, would you be willing to live under the same roof as someone who could kill you at any moment?"

The old Madam remained silent, her brows furrowed tightly.

On one hand, she had her four grandsons, and on the other, her own younger sister; it was indeed a difficult situation for her.

However, Luo Yu did have a point in what she said.

Tong Zhi had always disliked Luo Yu, repeatedly provoking her and even suspecting that the children in Luo Yu’s belly were not from the Mo family.

If Tong Zhi continued to stay in the Mo family, something bad was bound to happen.

At this moment, she had to prioritize the bigger picture.

She hoped that Tong Zhi would understand her.

Luo Yu curved her lips, "Anyway, I’ve told you the result. You think it over. I’ll come downstairs in person after an hour. If I find her still here after I’ve descended, you weigh the consequences yourself. I, Luo Yu, have always kept my word, and by then, don’t blame me for not warning you."

Luo Yu no longer had anything to fear at this point.

That’s why she took such drastic measures.

Now in the Mo family,

She was the most powerful.

The old Madam stood up, "I have my judgments about this matter. You should rest well."

With that, she turned and left.

Luo Yu watched the old Madam’s retreating figure, a smug arc raising on her lips.

The old hag, trying to fight against her?

No way!

The Mo family would sooner or later be hers.

The old Madam walked downstairs with a grave face.

In the dining room, Tong Zhi, Mo Qingyi, and Duanmu Zhe were still sitting at the table.

Seeing the old Madam descend, Tong Zhi lazily looked up, "How is it, sister? Luo Yu didn’t die, did she? I knew it, she wouldn’t dare to die. You’re too worried about her. It’s just a pregnancy, right? Does she think she’s the Empress Dowager? That everyone should indulge her? If I were you, I would have trained her to behave a long time ago."

Everything was within Tong Zhi’s control.

"Little Zhi!" the old Madam looked at Tong Zhi, "You really went too far this time! You’re a grownup! Can’t you watch your mouth?"

If it wasn’t for Tong Zhi’s unyielding tongue, this incident would not have occurred.

Both Luo Yu and Tong Zhi were at fault in this matter.

But Tong Zhi’s fault was greater than Luo Yu’s.

From the beginning, she shouldn’t have let Tong Zhi run wild.

"Little Zhi, wouldn’t it be better to avoid trouble when you can?" the old Madam continued, looking at Tong Zhi.

"Sister," Tong Zhi straightened her attitude, "What do you mean by that?"

What did she mean by it being better to have less trouble?

So, coming to the Mo family to rectify the family honor and to seek justice for Mo Qingyi had become her own fault?

Who was she doing this for?

Tong Zhi’s eyebrows were deeply knitted.

If it weren’t for the old Madam being her sister, she wouldn’t care much about such a thankless task, even if she were paid millions.

She was the bad guy, and it was thankless!

"Little Zhi," the old Madam’s tone softened a bit, "Do you realize that Luo Yu almost died just now? And the children in her belly almost didn’t make it either!"

The old Madam was gripped with fear at the thought.

Fortunately, she had arrived in time.

"It’s not like she died, did she?" Tong Zhi spoke indifferently, "Even if she did! It would be her own fault! She thinks she’s something, capable of replacing Jin? And daring to bully Qingyi? Isn’t she asking for death?"

Tong Zhi, just like Chu Jin, was fiercely protective.

She couldn’t stand to see her own people suffer any kind of injustice.

Similarly, she couldn’t stand replicas like Luo Yu.

In her heart, Chu Jin was Chu Jin; no one could ever replace her.

If Luo Yu were here right now, Tong Zhi might really strangle her.

"Little Zhi... You’ve disappointed me too much!" sighed the old Madam, "No matter what, Luo Yu is carrying Zhi Xuan’s children. Even for the sake of the big picture, can’t you just bear it? Do you want to watch the Mo family end?"

How could Tong Zhi be like this?

She was only thinking of venting her own anger, not considering the Mo family at all.

Wasn’t she also displeased with Luo Yu? But what could she do?

She had to endure.

If she could bear it, why couldn’t Tong Zhi endure it too?

"Sister, I disappointed you? How have I disappointed you? It’s you who have disappointed all of us!" exclaimed Tong Zhi.

She sighed and continued, "Can’t you see things clearly? Who knows whose seed is in Luo Yu’s belly? Are you so certain it’s Zhi Xuan’s? Zhi Xuan is your son, don’t you know his character? Do you think someone like Luo Yu could catch his eye?"

Duanmu Zhe also stood up, "Aunt Mo, I support Aunt Tong’s opinion. I think there’s something odd about this matter..."

The old Madam raised her hand slightly, stopping Duanmu Zhe from continuing, "Little Zhe, this is our Mo family’s internal affair."

Her meaning was clearly to keep Duanmu Zhe out of it.

Duanmu Zhe immediately understood, apologizing, "I’m sorry, Aunt Mo, I overstepped."

After speaking, Duanmu Zhe sat back down in his chair.

"Mom, I also support Auntie Tong." Mo Qingyi bit her lip and stood up too. She felt that if things continued this way, Luo Yu would eventually make the Mo family fall apart.

"Mom, what you’re doing is wrong. It’s not certain whose child Luo Yu is carrying in her stomach yet, you can’t keep spoiling her like this."

This Luo Yu, her schemes were too deep, that’s why Mo Qingyi supported Tong Zhi.

"This is none of your business, sit down." The Mo family matriarch glanced at Mo Qingyi and spoke with a cold voice.

Helpless, Mo Qingyi could only purse her lips and sit down.

Duanmu Zhe squeezed her hand, offering comfort.

"Little Zhi," the Mo family matriarch looked at Tong Zhi and continued, "Listen to your sister and go upstairs to apologize to Luo Yu, will you?"

"Sister!" Tong Zhi looked up in disbelief, "What did you say? You want me to apologize to her?"

The Mo family matriarch nodded, "Even if it’s for the sake of the Mo family, can’t it work? Sister is begging you!"

An apology is just a matter of moving your lips after all.

If Tong Zhi is sensible, she should be unable to recognize her own good intentions.

Exiling Tong Zhi from the Mo family was indeed a bit difficult.

Perhaps if Luo Yu was in a good mood, she wouldn’t make Tong Zhi kneel.

But the apology still had to be made.

"No way!" Tong Zhi slightly raised her lips, her attitude resolute, "I’ll apologize to her only if the sun rises from the west! Sister, you just keep indulging her! I’m telling you, if this goes on, you will regret it one day."

With someone like Luo Yu around, the Mo family matriarch will sooner or later suffer the consequences,

"Little Zhi!" the Mo family matriarch pleaded earnestly, "Could you do it just to help your sister this once?"

If Tong Zhi were willing to apologize, then this matter could be minimized and forgotten.

But Tong Zhi was so stubborn.

"Sister, stop it!" Tong Zhi turned her head away, "This matter is non-negotiable."

Tong Zhi’s stance was very firm!

Was she supposed to boost the morale of a petty person?

How could she?

Tong Zhi was a person of clear grievances, never bowing her head to someone like Luo Yu no matter the occasion.

The Mo family matriarch sighed, then said, "Since that’s the case, Little Zhi, you should go back for now and avoid visiting the Mo family for a while, so as not to upset Luo Yu and trigger her emotions."

At that moment, the Mo family matriarch had no other choice but to make this decision.

Hopefully, Tong Zhi would understand her.

She did all this for the sake of the Mo family.

Upon hearing this, not only was Tong Zhi shocked.

Mo Qingyi and Duanmu Zhe were also stupefied.

Nobody expected the Mo family matriarch to go so far for Luo Yu!

Tong Zhi trembled all over, almost believing she was hallucinating, "Sister, what did you just say? You mean to drive me away? I heard you wrong, right?"

For decades, she and the Mo family matriarch had shared a deep sisterly bond, weathering storms together, hardly ever quarreling, but now.

For someone like Luo Yu, the Mo family matriarch actually said such things to her.

Of course, Tong Zhi was heartbroken.

The Mo family matriarch sighed, "Little Zhi, I’m sorry, I’m not trying to drive you away, I’m just asking you to leave temporarily, I hope you can understand your sister’s plight, for the sake of the Mo family, for the sake of Zhi Xuan, I had to do this."

So far, Tong Zhi’s attitude toward Luo Yu had not been very friendly.

The Mo family matriarch worried that if things continued, the child in Luo Yu’s womb might not survive.

Luo Yu was fiery and Tong Zhi was unyielding; with these two together, trouble was bound to happen.

Originally, the Mo family matriarch wanted to use Tong Zhi to deal with Luo Yu appropriately.

But she had never imagined that Luo Yu would really attempt to take her own life.

And to do so with such severity.

Therefore, the Mo family matriarch couldn’t take risks anymore.

"Fine, fine, I’ll go, I’ll go." Tong Zhi nodded, "Sister, I hope you won’t have regrets."

With that, Tong Zhi turned around and walked away.

After a few steps, Tong Zhi turned back and said, "Sister, if Jin is watching from heaven, seeing you like this would definitely break her heart! And no matter when, I will always believe that Zhi Xuan would never betray Jin, and for the ninth lady of the Mo family, I only acknowledge Jin!"

Tong Zhi was truly furious, her face paled with anger.

After speaking, she left angrily in her ten-centimeter high heels.

"Auntie Tong!" Mo Qingyi hurriedly chased after her.

Mo Qingyi was very worried because as long as she could remember, the Mo family matriarch and Tong Zhi had never had a fight.

And today, they had come to such a pass.

The Mo family matriarch also sighed deeply.

She didn’t wish for things to turn out this way.

But...

She had to do it.

As long as it was for the sake of the Mo family, she was willing to do anything.

Upstairs.

Luo Yu, who should have been lying in bed, was now at the corner of the stairs, watching this scene unfold below with a smug smile on her lips.

In the future, the Mo family would be her domain.

Not just Tong Zhi, even if Chu Jin were to come back, she wouldn’t hesitate to step on her.

Mo Qingyi followed Tong Zhi out the door.

"Auntie Tong, Auntie Tong," Mo Qingyi caught up to Tong Zhi’s wrist, gasping for breath, "Please don’t be mad at my mom. She didn’t really want to send you away. It must all be part of Luo Yu’s design; right now, my mom listens to her the most..."

"Not mad?" Tong Zhi’s expression gradually calmed down, "How can I not be mad? I’m so angry at how foolish your mom is! The venerable matriarch of the Mo family actually let a Lotus manipulate her so easily!"

Her sister was always shrewd. She didn’t expect that in her later years, she’d be outwitted by a Lotus. Could it be that she was getting senile?

The succession of the Mo family was indeed important, but no matter how important, they couldn’t let people lose their sense of right and wrong.

Mo Qingyi, with a smile brimming in her eyes, looped her arm around Tong Zhi’s, consoling her, "Auntie Tong, don’t be angry. Getting angry makes you age faster, and it also causes wrinkles..."

"Wrinkles?" Tong Zhi immediately touched her cheek upon hearing this, nervously looking towards Mo Qingyi, "Qingqing, look at my face. Do I have wrinkles now?"
