Too high to reach

Chapter 80 You can forget about it.
"Hurry up and pack your things, let's go back to the city!" Wang instructed Qiu Hong.

With a stern face, he asked Mo Wen, "Go on!" and then brought his ear close to Mo Wen's face.

"...She was about to fall. Just then, a man came up from below, carrying a heavy bundle, and he blocked her fall. Perhaps something from that bundle hit my sister's face. Although her face was injured, if she hadn't been hit like that... she might have been seriously injured."

“But the way Liu Yuan and the others spoke…” Wang frowned.

“We were up there, and we were terrified, so we couldn’t see what was happening. They had their reasons for saying that. Especially… that man looked to be in his twenties, dressed in plain clothes.”

"Ah!" Madam Wang was very shrewish and immediately understood. "Those two little vile women are wicked beyond belief! They're trying to ruin this marriage..."

She was both anxious and angry, wishing she could rush over and grab the person to yell at them, but how could she? She could only glare at Mo Yi, who was washing her face, and mutter a scolding in her voice: "At such a crucial moment, how could she be so useless?! How could she be so careless as to fall down while walking! With such a mistake, of course people will take the opportunity to kick her when she's down!"

Mo Yi didn't care about anything else, washed her face, and Mo Yuan found the clothes she had brought and changed into them.

Perhaps satisfied with the trip, Mo Yuan took meticulous and gentle care of Mo Yi...

The little monk brought over ice, wrapped in a clean handkerchief. Mo Yi covered her eyes and nose, and the burning sensation she had felt earlier subsided.

"Madam, everything is ready!"

"Wenwen, take Qiuhong to say goodbye to Madam Hou, then we'll get in the carriage. With her face like that, she shouldn't show herself!"

On the way, Mo Wen encountered Madam Hou leading Madam Liang and Liang You.

"lady!"

Lady Hou hurriedly asked, "How is Miss Mo Yi?"

"Madam Lao inquired after you. My sister wasn't seriously injured. The head monk from the temple just sent some ice; he said applying it will help her heal faster. Mother said we're about to return home. She's taking care of my sister and asked Mowen to come and say goodbye to you on her behalf!"

“I was just about to go see her. Let’s go straight to the carriage and head back to the city together.”

"Just now, I sent someone to inquire about that benefactor, but I couldn't find him. This is truly miraculous; perhaps it was a divine intervention that saved us!" Lady Hou's words were quite insightful.

Mo Wen also clasped his hands together, "The prosperity of Dajue Temple is indeed well-deserved. Although my sister was frightened, she is unharmed! She will have good fortune in the future!"

"Yes, you've done a very good job as an older sister!" Mo Wen was well-mannered, gentle, and quite talented. She left a good impression on the Lady of the Marquis.

Mo Yi, covering her nose, got into the car.

Madam Wang turned her head and saw Lady Hou and her entourage approaching. She quickly stepped forward and asked, "Is Madam also going back now?"

Madam Hou said, "Yes. Mrs. Mo, it was my fault for not arranging things properly today, which resulted in your daughter suffering such a serious injury..."

"Oh dear, how could I blame you! That girl was looking up at the eagle and didn't watch her step! Luckily, she's alright, don't mention it!"

"I do have some good medicine at home. I'll send someone to deliver it to you as soon as I get back to Beijing."

Madam Wang smiled broadly and didn't refuse, saying, "Then thank you very much, Madam!"

"Is Mo Yi in the carriage? I'll go check on her!" said Lady Hou.

Wang shouted at the top of her lungs, "Yiyi! The Lady of the Marquis has come to see you!"

Mo Yuan was standing next to Mo Yi's carriage, dawdling as she helped out. When she saw Madam Hou approaching, she quickly bowed and greeted her, "Madam!"

Lady Hou smiled at her: "Miss Mo Yuan." She had a good impression of this girl's arrogant attitude.

"Let me see..." Mo Yi removed the handkerchief from Bing's nose. Her face was swollen, and her eyes were barely open. Apart from the fact that there was no blood on her face or body, she was a terrible sight to behold.

But despite her minor emotional outburst, she remained quite composed. "Madam, I was impulsive and caused you trouble!"

Her ability to act this way... Lady Hou's impression of her improved considerably: "Miss Mo, how are you feeling now?"

Liang You followed behind his wife and saw Mo Yi, his expression very complicated.

“Thank you for your concern, Madam… I’m much better now, just a little swollen. The head chef said it looks scary, but the injury isn’t serious. It will be fine in a few days.” Mo Yi spoke, still mumbling.

"Hmm. You're quite composed, young lady. Do you remember how you fell?" Lady Hou asked.

"I was distracted when I was going down the steps and didn't pay attention to my footing," Mo Yi said calmly.

Lady Hou looked at her quietly, "Is that so..."

She neither said that someone pushed her, nor that Wang Xiaoyang's shouting distracted her.

"Good girl." Madam Hou was even more pleased with her. "This time, it was my fault for not arranging things properly. We have some good medicine at home; I'll get it for you when we get back. Once you're better, I'll invite your family over for a visit."

"Thank you ma'am."

Lady Hou told Mo Yuan, "Take good care of her on the way back, and make sure she doesn't get hurt again!"

Mo Yuan smiled and agreed.

As she walked toward her carriage, Lady Hou said to Madam Wang, "The flowers in the house will be in bloom by the end of February. By then, Mo Yi's injury should be healed! Please invite Mrs. Mo and her family to come and visit then."

Wang was overjoyed and responded with a big smile.

"Sister Yi, it's my fault. I didn't take good care of you!" Liang You said.

Mo Yi first sent Mo Yuan away, and then said, "Brother Liang, it was my own carelessness."

“Sister Yi…” Liang You said hurriedly, fearing there wouldn’t be enough time, “Listen to me first! The Madam spoke with me, and in the end, she agreed to postpone my marriage. She told me to focus on my work first, and I must have some outstanding skills before I can ask the Emperor for an official title! Anyway, you’re not that old, so let’s wait, okay?”

Mo Yi closed her eyes briefly. This was good news, but...

"Brother Liang, I was pushed."

"Is that really so?!" Liang You wasn't too surprised. "Just now, Madam also made that analysis... Who is it?"

Mo Yi shook her head: "I don't know who it is, and I have no intention of dwelling on it. What's done is done. I'm fine, and making a scene won't necessarily lead to finding the person. It would only make things difficult for everyone involved, which is pointless. I was very moved by what Brother Liang said earlier, and I'm willing to listen to his advice."

But if Brother Liang can't resist the urge to get engaged... then among these people today, there are those with wicked intentions who would harm others for their own gain. So young, yet so ruthless; they are certainly not a good match.”

Liang You said, "I understand. You should focus on recovering from your injuries. I will do my best to prove to Madam that I am the most capable person to inherit the Marquis's mansion!"

Mo Yi said, "Okay. I'm really exhausted. I wish Brother Liang all the best!"

Liang You was somewhat reluctant to leave, but someone had already arrived. "Young Master, Madam says she's leaving!" He had no choice but to bow and depart.

Mo Yi sighed softly; this was the only way for now…

However, if I can't, then you can't either!
