Too high to reach

Chapter 116 pent-up resentment erupts

Just then, Moda returned from outside.

Although he hasn't been going to the academy these days, he still has a lot to do every day, leaving early and returning late.

Thinking about things at home, I came back early.

As soon as he entered, he heard his mother shouting in a shrill voice, "Mo Ruhai, who are you calling filthy? I ask you, how many of the people His Highness Prince Qi saved have actually been summoned to the Empress's presence?"

Mo Ruhai was so angry that he spat out his own saliva. "Your Highness Prince Qi, her father is the Emperor! Her mother is the Empress!" Then he pointed angrily at Mo Yi: "Mo Yi, her father is me, and her mother is you!"

Wang retorted without backing down: "As a mother, I have a clear conscience!" She patted her chest repeatedly. "You should think about it..."

"Mother!" Mo Da roared, interrupting Wang Shi's words.

He was shocked.

What kind of tone does my mother use when she talks to my father?
That's your husband!
He was away from home for most of the year due to school. When he was home, his mother would nag a lot, but his parents never argued in front of him.

Moreover, he is a man who values ​​elegance and propriety above all else; no matter what the circumstances, it is absolutely wrong for a wife to treat her husband this way.

The eldest son held great weight in Wang's eyes, so she suppressed the harsh words that were about to spill from her mouth and instead said, "I'm the one who found Mowen's marriage! I'm a capable mother!" Her anger was as fierce as the sea.

"If you're really so capable, go and find out if the Xu family can compare to the Qi Prince's mansion. Even my elder brother has to kneel and kowtow before the Prince!" Mo Ruhai said with a mixture of hatred and sarcasm. "The Prince saved my daughter... The Mo family wanted to bring gifts to express their gratitude, but they couldn't even get through the gate! They're simply insane! They actually dare to dream of currying favor with the imperial family! Aren't they afraid of being laughed at by others!"

"I..." Wang jumped up and down...

Mo Da, with a serious expression, stopped Wang from saying anything more.

Mo Yi's mind was in turmoil, and she lost control for a moment. Her family was arguing like this, it was insane! What were they even talking about?!
She tugged at Mo Ruhai's sleeve: "Father...please stop talking!"

Seeing his daughter so upset, Mo Ruhai stopped talking.

Mo Rushan, who had just felt embarrassed, put his guilt aside again.

Can integrity lead to promotion? Can it be used to make money? Can it be eaten?
So, he felt at ease ignoring his good-for-nothing brother and instead carefully examined Mo Yi. All the things he couldn't understand before suddenly became clear!

If the prince didn't have that intention, why would Granny Zhao have come to the Mo family?
How could Mo Yi possibly enter the palace?

Why would the Empress bestow so many gifts?
What's all this fuss about?
This means something's up, okay?!
Although the Mo family is not qualified to be the principal wife, but... "It didn't say that Mo Yi would become the principal wife! Logically speaking, even a concubine would be a step up for us! But since Her Majesty the Empress met her in person, maybe she will become a secondary consort..." He fantasized and said it out loud.

“Father…” Mo Yi was a little confused.

Mo Ruhai was even angrier, "Yi Yi cannot become a concubine! Not even a prince!"

Madam Wang sneered, "If a prince's concubine isn't good enough, then what is? Which prince's concubine doesn't have an official father? You think you can find someone better for Mo Yi? I can't!"

"We have different principles, so we can't work together! I don't care what you want to do, but don't even think about messing with my Yi Yi!"

"She's my daughter! Of course I can make decisions about her!" Wang screamed.

"Mother, please stop talking..." Mo Da also got anxious, shouting with a red face.

"Being a concubine is good, why don't you go yourself?!" Mo Ruhai questioned Wang Shi.

"I regret it! I'd rather be a concubine than marry you!" Wang finally gave up.

"Fine! Then I'll write a letter of divorce now and go with you!"

She ignored what Wang herself said, but her husband said she couldn't do it!
"You! Mo Ruhai! How could you say such a thing..." Ever since she married into the family, she had always been the one to bully and oppress her husband. She never imagined that one day he would say he wanted to divorce her...

In the blink of an eye, I saw Liu's barely concealed smile...

How much has she done for her husband and for this family?!

"Don't you have any conscience?!" Tears streamed down her face. Seeing her parents arguing like this in front of the whole family, the children were both scared and nervous, and Mo Da was trembling with anger.

"Shut up, all of you!" Mo Rushan finally snapped. "Mo Ruhai! Stop pretending to be so high and mighty with me. You have your life today because of me, your wife, who worked so hard to support you. What have you been doing all these years? Huh?!"
You gave up halfway through the imperial examinations. The things you were doing were finally showing promise, but then you got injured and spent over half a year recovering, missing the opportunity completely. Tell me, what have you done for the family? Even Mo Rusong is suffering in the fields! In this family, you have no say whatsoever!

In his desperation, he actually ripped off Mo Ruhai's dignity and threw it on the ground to rub.

Upon hearing this, Wang surprisingly agreed: "Brother is right! You have no ability yourself, yet you criticize others. Who owes you anything?!"

"Fine! Fine!" Mo Ruhai's heart turned ashen, his face deathly pale. "It's me, it's me who owes you, okay? Keep everything that belongs to you! Don't try to take advantage of me anymore! Mo Yi, come with your father!"

He walked a few steps to the door, turned back to look at Mo Yi, and it seemed he was preparing to take Mo Yi away from home...

Wang shouted, "Mo Yi, let's see if you dare to make a move!"

Mo Rushan muttered, "You're crazy...you're crazy!" He didn't know how things had turned out this way...

Mo Rusong glared angrily at his second brother, feeling that he had gone mad.

As a result, everyone watched as Mo Yi walked over without saying a word and stood next to Mo Ruhai, neither pulling nor persuading him, looking as if she intended to go with him.

Are they really planning to leave?
Where can I go?

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment...

Mo Yi thought to herself: No matter what the outcome... she has to do this now.

Otherwise, something will happen to Dad!

"Mo Yi?" Madam Wang could hardly believe it: "You dare disobey me?"

Mo Da stepped forward and pulled Mo Ruhai: "Father, we were just talking in the heat of the moment, please don't be really angry! Mo Yi, quickly pull your father back to sit down!"

“Yes, Second Uncle…” Mo Fan also arrived, “My sister just entered the palace and even received a reward from the Empress. What a wonderful thing that is for my sister and for the Mo family! She’s been working hard all day, please don’t take her out. I beg you, Second Uncle… Father! Please persuade Second Uncle!”

Mo Rushan was still furious. "Whom am I doing this for?!" But he didn't say anything more.

Madam Wang quickly calmed down, wiping away her tears: "Fine... Mo Yi, you're doing great! From now on, you'll only have your father, no mother! No matter who you marry, don't even think about taking a single penny of your dowry from me!"

Mo Da and Mo Fan were speechless; they had just grabbed the person...

Sure enough, Mo Ruhai burst into laughter: "There really isn't a mother in the world who threatens her own daughter like you! Wang Xiue, you're quite something! Mo Yi, your dowry is your father's responsibility. Take whatever you have, and if you don't have any... I can find you a good man who doesn't need a dowry!"

He pointed to the gifts bestowed by the Empress: "These gifts from the Empress are all for you, to repay your kindness in raising and supporting me!"

Wang glared fiercely at her husband. "From today onwards, I'm cutting ties with you..."

Mo Yi said softly to Mo Ruhai, "Father, I will always listen to you. Please don't get upset!"

Mo Ruhai gave a smug sneer to the crowd, broke free from Mo Da and Mo Fan, and turned to leave.

Mo Yi followed obediently behind.

"Trying to pull this on me?!" Mo Rushan laughed angrily, "Fine, Mo Ruhai, you're something else! All of you, get back to your rooms!"

Even so... he still gave Mo Da and Mo Fan a wink.

Sigh, that damned idiot has gone mad. What can I, as the head of the family, do?
Mo Fan chased after her in a flash... Mo Da also glanced helplessly at his mother and followed her out.

"Moda, you're not allowed to go! Come back here!" Wang screamed...
