Chapter 888: 890. Li Xiangzhi and her daughter’s beautiful dream shatters (First update)

Li Xiangzhi said with great difficulty, "Sister, you’ll know once you get there, sigh, I really can’t bring myself to say it! Just please stand up for Qiaoqiao when the time comes! You are her aunt after all!"

Madame Mo slightly frowned, seemingly thinking of something, and continued to walk with Li Xiangzhi.

Within a few minutes, they arrived at the eastern chamber where Li Xiangzhi and her daughter lived.

The door to Qiaoqiao’s room was ajar, and Li Xiangzhi, holding Madame Mo’s hand, whispered, "Sister, come in with me, and you’ll understand once you see."

Li Xiangzhi thought to herself, what kind of spectacular expression would appear on Madame Mo’s face when she saw what kind of shameless thing her son had done?

After all, Tong Qiaoqiao is Madame Mo’s only niece; surely, she would side with Qiaoqiao. With this family bond, the Tong family would become the Mo family.

And the little golden heir’s succession to everything of the Mo family would follow logically.

The light in the room was dim, so visibility was not high.

At the same time, there was an abnormal scent wafting in the room. Madame Mo narrowed her eyes, seemingly thinking of something, her eyes full of suspicion.

When they passed by Mo Zhixuan’s bedroom earlier, Mo Zhixuan was not in there, and Li Xiangzhi’s expression had been so strange.

Piecing these together, a foreboding feeling arose in Madame Mo’s heart.

Could it be...

No way?

At that thought, Madame Mo’s pupils suddenly constricted.

Li Xiangzhi ’snap’ turned on the light, and a white glow suddenly brightened the room.

"Ah!" Tong Qiaoqiao screamed out and immediately pulled clothes over herself, panicked, "Aunt... Aunt, why are you here?"

Li Xiangzhi immediately said, "Sister, you must stand up for our Qiaoqiao. She’s such a good girl..."

Tong Qiaoqiao also said in a very flustered manner, "Aunt, aunt, aunt, I don’t know how things got like this... I couldn’t help it!" Tong Qiaoqiao insisted that it was Mo Zhixuan who had forced himself on her!

After all, since it was Mo Zhixuan who had initiated things last night, there was nothing wrong with her saying so.

Mother and daughter were crying and begging Madame Mo to make a decision!

Madame Mo, looking at this scene, felt her blood rush to her head and angrily said, "You both take a good look at who is on that bed! Accusing Zhixuan out of thin air! What are you mother and daughter plotting!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiangzhi and Tong Qiaoqiao both showed surprised looks, exchanged glances, and then turned to look at the bed, only to realize that the man was not Mo Zhixuan at all!

But a stranger!

Tong Qiaoqiao, frightened, fell onto the bed, her face turning pale as she broke out in a cold sweat, muttering, "How could this be... How could this be... Who is he! I don’t recognize him! I don’t recognize him!"

Li Xiangzhi was also scared! She hadn’t expected that the man on the bed would not be Mo Zhixuan! Who was this man? What on earth was going on?

"Shut up! If you speak nonsense, I will cut out your tongue!" Madame Mo slapped Li Xiangzhi’s face with a resounding smack!

Li Xiangzhi was left dazed with her left cheek swelling up instantly!

Tong Qiaoqiao, crying, climbed off the bed and knelt at Madame Mo’s feet, "Aunt, aunt, believe me, the man last night was really my cousin! It really was my cousin! I’m not lying!"

"You shut up too!" Madame Mo also gave Tong Qiaoqiao a slap, then turned to the servants behind her, "Go, splash some water on that wild man and wake him up!"

"Yes!"

At once, a servant came in with a basin of cold water and splashed it directly onto the unconscious man!

The man was immediately startled awake, still unaware of what had happened, his gaze dull as he looked around at everyone.

"How dare you! To defile Miss Tong like this! Do you no longer value your life?" A servant stepped up to the man and slapped him across the face.

The man, now fully woken by the slap, tumbled out of the bed and knelt beside Madame Mo, "Madame, I’m innocent! Last night it was Miss Tong who seduced me first! It really was Miss Tong, please see the truth, Madame!"

Tong Qiaoqiao, hearing this, immediately became incensed and lunged at the man, "What are you talking about! Why would I find you, a dog, appealing!"

The two immediately grappled with each other.

Li Xiangzhi also immediately said, "Sister, Qiaoqiao is your only niece, how could she ever do such a thing! This is all a misunderstanding! It’s all lies from this dog!"

"You dog! Shut up! Our Qiaoqiao, with her noble birth, how could she ever fancy a revolting person like you!" Li Xiangzhi leaped forward, furiously slapping the man’s face.

The battle of two quickly turned into a brawl of three, and it was fierce.

Madame Mo frowned in disgust, "Separate them!"

The servants immediately pulled Tong Qiaoqiao and the man apart.

Tong Qiaoqiao instantly clung to Madame Mo’s legs, sobbing, "Aunt, please believe me, I really didn’t seduce him, and furthermore, the man from last night was not him..."

Madame Mo slightly narrowed her eyes, meaning Tong Qiaoqiao’s intention was to seduce... Mo Zhixuan?

The truth must be that the couple was baiting a trap for Tong Qiaoqiao!

Was Chu Jin someone to be trifled with?

"You shut up! Aren’t you ashamed enough already!" Madame Mo scolded coldly and then turned her gaze to the man, "You tell me, what exactly happened last night?"

"Madame, I am in charge of the security for this eastern chamber. Last night, because the young master Tong would not stop crying, Nine Ye came over. When Nine Ye was taking the young master Tong to get some air in the garden, he received a call from Nine Ye’s wife. So, Nine Ye left the young master Tong with me. But no sooner had I brought the young master back to the room than I sensed something off about the room’s scent..."

The rest was left unsaid.

Taking into account what Tong Qiaoqiao said earlier and the man’s story, things were quite clear and simple!

Old Mrs. Mo’s face had turned a furious shade of green! She had kindly taken in Li Xiangzhi and her daughter! Little did she expect they would eventually harbor such filthy thoughts—to set their sights on Mo Zhixuan! Absolutely disgusting! Old Mrs. Mo shook all over with rage!

"You’re talking nonsense! He’s talking nonsense! Aunt! You absolutely mustn’t listen to his drivel! It’s not like this! Really, it’s not!" Tong Qiaoqiao clung desperately to Old Mrs. Mo’s legs, sobbing her heart out.

"Get away from me!" Old Mrs. Mo kicked Tong Qiaoqiao away, looking at her coldly, and spoke with disgust, "If he’s lying, then what about those incense ashes! Have you no shame? How could our Tong family have produced something as disgraceful as you!"

Old Mrs. Mo’s only hobby was perfume blending, and she naturally knew what ingredients those piles of incense ashes contained.

Tong Qiaoqiao had truly disappointed her! If her only brother Tong Yuan knew about this in the afterlife, he would not rest in peace.

"Sister, Qiaoqiao is a good child, she really wouldn’t do something like this!" Li Xiangzhi, agitated, clung to Old Mrs. Mo, begging bitterly.

"A girl who is not taught is a mother’s failure! You cannot absolve yourself from the blame for Tong Qiaoqiao turning out this way!" Old Mrs. Mo glared coldly at Li Xiangzhi, eyes brimming with loathing, "Don’t think I don’t know what you and your daughter are scheming!"

Old Mrs. Mo was filled with regret, wishing she had never taken in that troublemaking mother and daughter! A dog that couldn’t stop eating its own excrement! Even the daughter they raised was so inherently worthless!

"Sister, you’ve really misunderstood! It’s not like that! Listen to my explanation..." Li Xiangzhi still refused to admit it, as Old Mrs. Mo was now her only support! She could not afford to lose Old Mrs. Mo’s protection, "I saw with my own eyes Zhixuan come in! The man who defiled Qiaoqiao is not him! Sister, please see the truth!"

Regardless of whether the man from last night was Mo Zhixuan, this incident had to be pinned on him—only Mo Zhixuan could grant Tong Qiaoqiao a lifetime of glory and wealth! What could a security guard offer Tong Qiaoqiao?

Tong Qiaoqiao’s future absolutely could not be ruined by this security guard!

"Shut your mouth! If you keep babbling nonsense, watch your tongue!" Old Mrs. Mo reached out and grasped Li Xiangzhi’s jaw, her eyes flashing with a severity unlike her usual demeanour, implying her words were no joke.

Li Xiangzhi was frightened into silence immediately.

"Contact Mrs. Tong, have her come here immediately, and then lock these few people up in the basement," Old Mrs. Mo commanded the servant by her side.

Regardless, Tong Qiaoqiao was still from the Tong family, and it was only right to inform Tong Zhi. Deciding how to deal with these two women would require consultation between her and Tong Zhi.

"Yes," the servant bowed in response.

"Aunt, please no, Aunt!" Tong Qiaoqiao clutched at Old Mrs. Mo’s leg, refusing to let go.

"Get off!" At this moment, Old Mrs. Mo looked at Tong Qiaoqiao with nothing but loathing in her eyes, "From now on, our aunt-niece relationship is over! If we meet again, we will be strangers!"

She was originally the only remaining bloodline of the Tong family and could have lived a carefree life—if only she hadn’t developed improper thoughts! From now on, she can’t blame me for not caring about familial affection!

Upon hearing these words, Li Xiangzhi’s face turned instantly pale; she cried as she grabbed Old Mrs. Mo’s wrist, "Sister! Qiaoqiao is your only niece, also the sole bloodline of our Tong family, you can’t treat Qiaoqiao like this! You can’t bully us mother and daughter just because Tong Yuan passed away early!"

Li Xiangzhi brought up the deceased Tong Yuan once again, knowing that only this could tug at Old Mrs. Mo’s heartstrings.

In the spirit of respecting the monk out of respect for Buddha, even if Old Mrs. Mo didn’t want to acknowledge Tong Qiaoqiao, after all, she was Tong Yuan’s daughter...

Old Mrs. Mo cherished her brother so much, she surely wouldn’t truly abandon Tong Qiaoqiao!

"You still have the nerve to mention Yuan at this point!" Old Mrs. Mo glared at Li Xiangzhi, her voice harsh, "Yuan was really blinded back then! To end up fancying a woman like you! Corrupting the Tong family’s good name, now that Yuan is gone, I declare that your marriage is annulled, from now on, you are no longer part of the Tong family! A dog that can’t change its habit of eating filth!"

"Sister, please, don’t be so heartless! I’m born a Tong, I’ll die a Tong ghost! You can’t do this to us!" Li Xiangzhi clutched tightly to Old Mrs. Mo’s leg, refusing to let go.

Li Xiangzhi could feel that the Mo family’s old lady had truly made up her mind this time!

The old lady of the Mo family said coldly, "Take her out, and seal her mouth for me!"

The servant immediately complied.

Li Xiangzhi and her daughter Tong Qiaoqiao were dragged away, and the old lady of the Mo family sighed deeply, rubbing her temples with a headache.

It must be said, this mother and daughter really let her down! They also disgraced the Tong family!

Tong Zhi arrived soon after, alone. With this kind of incident, it was not appropriate to involve Xiangru and Yimo, as children should not witness such filthy events.

"Xiao Zhi, how do you think we should handle this matter?" the old lady of the Mo family asked Tong Zhi with a worried look.

Compared to the old lady’s worry, Tong Zhi was the picture of calm, as if she were not Tong Qiaoqiao’s aunt at all.

"What else can be done? Such a scandal has occurred; naturally, we can no longer allow them to remain in the Superpower World! Sister, I’ve said it long ago, that Li Xiangzhi is no good, but you wouldn’t believe me! Do you see now? This, this is the classic story of The Farmer and the Viper. With all your good intentions, you reached out to help them, and this is how they repay you!" Tong Zhi spoke with an air of watching the fire from across the shore.

When the old lady of the Mo family took in Li Xiangzhi and her daughter, Tong Zhi had advised her against it, but the old lady wouldn’t listen, insisting on learning her lesson the hard way.

"Sigh—," the old lady of the Mo family sighed deeply and then said, "Wasn’t I doing it for the sake of Brother Yuan, only to find out that this mother and daughter are so ungrateful!" Were the members of the Tong family not known for their integrity and kindness? How did people like Tong Qiaoqiao and Li Xiangzhi ever emerge from it?

"Luckily, Zhixuan is a sensible child," Tong Zhi continued, "If Zhixuan had the slightest ulterior motive, or if it were someone else, Mo family would likely have become the butt of a joke today! I don’t even understand what Li Xiangzhi was thinking to do such a disgusting thing; it embarrasses me on her behalf!"

Sharing a bed with a cousin; this news is too sensational!

When the time comes, it won’t just be the Mo family losing face, but the whole Three Realms.

Hearing this, the old lady of the Mo family also felt a lingering fear! She hadn’t taken in two people, but two wolves! If she had known something like this would happen today, she would never have taken them in!

"Xiao Zhi, at a time like this, don’t make light of the situation, please say something constructive," the old lady of the Mo family continued.

Tong Zhi smiled and said, "Given the current circumstances, we can’t let this mother and daughter stay in the Superpower World any longer. Send them away, the farther the better. She likes to entice men, doesn’t she? Then let her have her way. Notify the civil affairs office, pair Tong Qiaoqiao with that security guard, and put an end to her future mischief-making!"

As far as Tong Zhi was concerned, it didn’t matter if Tong Qiaoqiao was of Tong family blood; a piece of trash like her was better off cut off from the family!

"But..." the old lady of the Mo family hesitated, with a pang of pity, "Aren’t we being too heartless? After all, they haven’t actually done anything substantively bad..."

Tong Zhi chuckled lightly, somewhat speechless, "Sister, are you being silly? With things as they are, you’re still considering them? Must they turn the Mo family upside down before you regret it?"

The old lady of the Mo family sighed and then said, "What about little Gold? Little Gold is still a child; surely, a child doesn’t have to be involved in the affairs of adults, right?"

Tong Zhi glanced at the old lady of the Mo family, "Sister, from what you’re saying, are you really thinking about adopting little Gold?"

The old lady of the Mo family didn’t answer; in fact, that was what she was thinking.

Tong Zhi stood up in agitation, "Sister, I must tell you, you absolutely must not do such a foolish thing! Little Gold is already six years old, and as the saying goes, what kind of mother, what kind of child. Just look at Li Xiangzhi, then look at Tong Qiaoqiao, I don’t think little Gold is any good seed either! Do you still remember the first night little Gold arrived here?"
