Chapter 65 I Underestimated You
Upon hearing the voice, Wang was so startled that she broke out in a cold sweat.

"It really is Second Sister-in-law! What a coincidence that we met here!" the voice continued.

Suddenly turning her head, Wang saw the emaciated Liu standing not far away, with the graceful Mo Yuan beside her.

"Why are you here?" Wang's voice changed, almost screaming.

Recently, Liu has hardly left her house, and hasn't even come over for dinner. She gets annoyed and wants to fight whenever she sees Mo Rusong.

Although Mo Yuan comforted him, he still felt depressed and fell slightly ill, lacking energy and losing a lot of weight.

At this moment, Liu was dressed quite neatly, and her jewelry was also quite nice. However, she looked somewhat distorted, with prominent cheekbones. Although she was smiling, she looked sinister. Her clothes also hung loosely as she walked.

Facing the stunned Wang, she said in a hoarse voice, "Second sister-in-law, you know I've been having the worst luck lately, so I came to pray to Buddha. But I never expected to run into this!" She then turned to look at the Mo Wen sisters who had just gotten out of the car.

Not to mention Mo Wen, even Mo Yi looks exceptionally beautiful today.

Liu's eyes grew even more gloomy. She licked her slightly dry lips, her gaze intense, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

Mo Wen remained calm and composed, only offering a slight bow... She knew it would be like this!
But Mo Yi truly hadn't expected the mother and daughter to come. She was already somewhat intimidated by this third aunt... especially after being cooped up indoors for so many days. If she were to vent her anger here... that would be troublesome...

Madam Wang sneered, "What a coincidence! Well then, let's each worship our own Buddha!" ​​She glanced back at her two daughters, "Take your things! Let's go!"

Liu stepped in front of Wang, saying, "I have nothing left! Second sister-in-law, we're standing at the mountain gate now, shouldn't you have some compassion? Take Yuanyuan with you!"

This infuriated Wang: "What right do I have to owe you?!" She glared at her...

Before she could speak, Mo Yi hurriedly stepped forward and pulled up her sleeve, "Mother, we just happened to run into Third Aunt and Fourth Sister here. It's not right for a family to be separated like this! Why don't we offer incense together?"

Only then did Wang realize that Liu was shameless and, if she was determined to cause trouble, she could really ruin her own affairs!
Feeling guilty, he dared not confront her directly, yet refused to back down. He gave a cold snort and ignored Liu. He asked the young monk who had come to greet him, "Little monk, where is the room the Mo family booked?!"

The young monk pointed to a spot, "Female benefactor, it's just up there!"

Wang walked towards the spot with a sullen face, and Mowen quickly followed, supporting her mother.

Liu followed along almost without hesitation.

Mo Yi didn't move, quietly looking at Mo Yuan.

Mo Yuan gave a wry smile with a hint of helplessness, but her expression was very delicate: "I feel really bad for disturbing my sister's good time."

"Oh, my little sister looks especially beautiful today!" she added.

Mo Yi then walked over, gently tugged at Mo Yuan's arm, and trailed behind the group: "It's not really a disturbance. This matter was probably doomed to fail anyway. But... even if it doesn't work out, let's not make it too ugly, what do you say, sister?"

“That’s right! If the Liang family doesn’t work, there are other families. If things get messy, your reputation will be ruined, and then it will be difficult to continue.” Mo Yuan nodded seriously.

"My older sister has always been smart. With two outstanding older sisters by my side, I can hold my head high a lot more!"

Mo Yuan scoffed, watching Mo Wen's retreating figure: That bitch, wearing new clothes again.

I have no idea when she did it!
“Mo Yi, I don’t know if you understand! Look…” She stepped forward and raised her chin, “A girl who’s already engaged, instead of staying home to prepare for her wedding, is going to great lengths to dress up and interfere with my sister’s blind date. What do you think she’s thinking?” Her face was full of a sarcastic smile.

"How did we end up talking about this? It's not that serious." Mo Yi didn't respond. "Heh! Mo Yi, you should thank me for joining in the fun, right?" Mo Yuan winked at her.

"Thank you for what?"

"I'll break this awkward situation! With the three of us standing together, it's unclear what's going on, and people will really think the Mo family girl came to burn incense. Otherwise... if she stands in front, what glory will you have? What will others think?"

Mo Yi carefully examined Mo Yuan... Her hair was as black as clouds, adorned with several flower hairpins, and a few strands fluttered beside her ears. Underneath the pale green cloak was a pale green dress.

Those eyes always seemed to hold affection! And their expressions: sometimes innocent, sometimes cunning, sometimes charming, sometimes shameless... and they always smelled wonderful.

It looks beautiful, yet it's so deliberately designed!

Mo Yi, with limited experience, didn't know if what she said was right, and could only sigh: "Even with Third Sister blocking the way, at least there would be a crack for me. There might not be much light, but there would still be some. But with Fourth Sister doing this, she's blocked up even that crack! Won't I be completely without light?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yuan giggled.

Not only the first few people looked back.

Even the passing pilgrims stared at them in disbelief: Whose daughters are they? They're all so beautiful!

"You don't even understand this?" Mo Yuan laughed. "Now that I'm here, I'll compete with her, and you'll have peace of mind. Otherwise, if the Lady of the Marquis sees her at a glance, what hope do you have?"

“Alright!” Mo Yi didn’t argue with her. “But, Third Aunt doesn’t look too well. Shouldn’t you comfort her? Let her pour out her troubles and burn incense before the Buddha! Who knows what might happen to the Liang family? It wouldn’t be good if it upsets Third Aunt. What do you think?”

"How can I possibly control what my mother does?" Mo Yuan smiled, pursing her lips.

"Sister, don't be modest. I know you're capable!" Mo Yi was genuinely worried. Her mother often got carried away when she was happy. And with Liu Shi involved... who knows what kind of trouble she might cause!
Let's hope it doesn't really become a joke!
"Oh, sister, there's one more thing I wanted to say... but please don't be angry."

"Go ahead and say it! I'm not angry." Mo Yuan was quite generous.

"Among the people who came today, besides the Lady of Jing'an Marquis, there were two Madam Liangs and others. Although I don't know their backgrounds, they must be quite influential. In that case... if I can't succeed, I'm afraid it won't be my sister's turn either."

She knew Mo Yuan was incredibly meticulous and always presented a gentle and charming demeanor. If she really wanted it, she might actually step forward to fight for it! But the result would definitely be: she wouldn't be able to take it, she would only lose face!
"Don't worry! To be honest, I don't care about what happened today! All I want is a chance to broaden my horizons..." She then revealed a hint of hesitation, "However... Mo Yi, if immense wealth were to fall into my lap... I wouldn't be so polite! I'm telling you this beforehand!"

"Sister, anything that falls into your hands is definitely not a fortune!"

"Silly girl, anything is possible! What's sweet to me is poison to someone else. If you can't do it, I might be able to!"

"What my sister said makes sense. But the reverse is also true!"

Mo Yuan suddenly turned her head and looked at Mo Yi seriously, "Mo Yi, why do I feel like I've been underestimating you all this time?"

Mo Yi looked at her reproachfully: "Sister, you're not just looking down on me, you've never even given me a second glance, okay?"

Mo Yuan then burst into another round of coquettish laughter.

The people in front all turned around to look...

Mo Wen frowned. What were these two talking about?
Seeing her daughter so happy, Liu's expression softened...
