Too high to reach

Chapter 82 Just Suffering
Mo Ruhai paced around the room...

He cursed them relentlessly with the most vile words he had ever uttered in his life: "One is disrespectful to elders, and the other two are vicious! I'll wait and see what kind of end they'll have! Yi Yi, your great calamity... is over, and you'll surely be blessed with good fortune!"

Mo Yi nodded.

"What did the Lady of the Marquis say?"

Mo Yi shook her head. "My daughter told the Lady Hou that she fell because she wasn't paying attention."

Why won't you tell the truth?!

“Dad, I don’t know who was standing behind me. Even if I figured it out… it’s hard to say whether she pushed me or I fell on my own. There’s no evidence for this kind of thing! And it’s hard to find witnesses… Who would want to get involved in this mess!”

"If they stubbornly refuse to admit it, things will get complicated. This was originally a gathering of the Marquis's family, and it will put her in a difficult position. Even if they find out... at most, their family will have to pay some medical expenses. What can a young girl do to them?"

Mo Ruhai disagreed, "It should be reported to the authorities for investigation!"

Mo Yi shook her head. "We don't even know whose daughter she is yet. Madam Hou, don't be afraid; our family might not be able to afford to offend her. Once bitten, twice shy. In the future, our daughter won't make the same mistake again!"

"Hmm..." Mo Ruhai thought for a long time, "It's impressive that you can think of everything so thoroughly at such a young age. Then... what was Liang You's reaction?!"

“Brother Liang…it’s clear he’s very concerned about the marriage to the Mo family. Otherwise, his daughter wouldn’t have drawn so much public outrage.”

Mo Ruhai nodded in satisfaction, "Hmm, he really is quite good!"

"Father, after this incident, I'm afraid the marriage is even further away." She didn't want her father to continue daydreaming.

"It's not your fault..."

"I had already talked to Brother Liang before my daughter came back."

Mo Yi leaned back and said very calmly, "It's clear that the Lady of the Marquis values ​​him highly. How could she be at peace if her daughter affected his future?"

"But... Yi Yi, could this be the work of the Lady of the Marquis?!" Mo Ruhai's expression was mysterious; he was starting to have a conspiracy theory.

Mo Yi laughed: "No way! Even if the Lady of the Marquis doesn't agree to this marriage, she wouldn't resort to such methods. That's too petty!"

"That's true... How could a lady of such high rank act so despicably?"

Mo Yi laughed again: "Father! She didn't need to do that! Why resort to underhanded methods when she could refuse openly and honestly?"

Mo Ruhai was puzzled: "Daughter, what have you been through? How can you understand something like this?"

“My daughter likes to read leisurely books and think!” She pointed to her head. “I was really careless this time…”

"Now what?"

"Brother Liang said that he will focus on doing what needs to be done first. He and his daughter are not very old, so they will talk about it later."

"Now that you mention it... isn't there still room for maneuver?"

"Let's not think about these things anymore. Our daughter should focus on recovering from her injuries... then she'll worry about us! Those present today, like Old Madam Liang, will definitely gossip everywhere. Let's let things cool down first."

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Mo Ruhai nodded in agreement. "Then you should rest first..."

Back in Wang's room, his face was grim, and he was furious. "How did Mo Yi fall?" he asked fiercely, wanting to see if this woman knew anything about it.

"You ask me? How would I know? It was just her own carelessness!" Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes. "She had such a good opportunity, and she..."

"Hmph! Mo Yi already told me that someone was pushing her from behind."

Wang was stunned: "What? That's what she said? Is she making it up to avoid being scolded?"

"You really think so much about your daughter?! When has she ever lied?!" Mo Ruhai's beard bristled with anger.

Wang argued, "If someone pushed her, why didn't she say so at the time?"

"What's the point of saying anything? She doesn't have eyes in the back of her head, how could she know who it is?! There were several of them, how could she just point randomly? Besides, if the Lady Hou summoned everyone, and it turns out there was such a vicious and ruthless woman among them, how could the Lady Hou save face?" Madam Wang blinked, thought for a while, and then said, "That also proves that it wasn't her fault that she fell! You don't know, Liang You treats Mo Yi differently than he treats others. Those girls, out of jealousy, committed this heinous act! It's good to let the Lady Hou know!"

"What's the use of knowing? Can you find out who it is? If you can't find out, you're just making empty noise and disgusting people. There are even relatives of the Lady Hou involved."

Wang thought about it and agreed. Those families were not simple. She couldn't report this to the authorities, so what else could she do?

She remained silent.

"And another thing!" Mo Ruhai said, "I told you before, even girls need to be properly raised. In our family, apart from Mo Wen who has learned some skills, you don't care about Mo Yi and Mo Qing! Look, it's awkward in situations like this, isn't it? Fortunately, Yi Yi is smart and reserved, and she handled it gracefully. If Mo Qing had gone, what would she have known?"

Wang retorted, "Look at what you're saying! Doesn't learning something cost money? I was showing off that Mowen got a nice zither, and people said they have several nice zithers at home! Can our family afford to buy one?"

"Father, Mother." Mo Wen arrived.

When Mo Ruhai saw his eldest daughter arrive, he snorted and stopped talking.

But Wang continued, "I've done so much, and you don't see it. Now that something's happened, you come to complain about me! Mowen went with her, why didn't anyone push her away?" She started making trouble again.

Mo Wen quickly urged, "Mother... Father, have you gone to see your sister?"

"That look was terrifying. She was almost dead or crippled. Weren't you afraid?" Mo Ruhai asked, still shaken.

"The head chef said my sister is alright! Please don't be angry..."

"Wenwen, let me ask you, Yiyi said that someone pushed her, can you guess who it was?"

Mo Wen was first startled, then felt a chill run down her spine: "My daughter was walking ahead of her sister and didn't see her. When she fell, she tried to pull her back, but couldn't... There were several people behind her... My daughter can't guess who they were!"

She thought for a moment and then said, "Although I don't know who it is, Miss Liu and Miss Wang seem to have some ill intentions."

"Yes, your sister said so too."

"My daughter realized what was going on and quickly went to help him out, and only then did the man leave."

Upon hearing this, Mo Ruhai nodded to Mo Wen, expressing his approval.

Madam Wang glared at her husband again, then said to Mo Wen, "Wenwen did the right thing! Those two little sluts, in front of the Lady of the Marquis, were trying to get Mo Yi and that man together. They're such despicable people!"

"What kind of talk is that?!" Mo Ruhai was very annoyed.

"I'm telling you what happened..."

Just as they were arguing, someone outside came to say that Liang You had arrived.

Mo Ruhai hurriedly went out to greet him.

In the small study in front, Mo Rushan had also returned and was talking to Liang You.

Upon seeing Mo Ruhai arrive, Liang You quickly bowed, his face filled with remorse. "I'm so sorry, Uncle Mo, it's all my fault for not taking good care of her! I wonder how Mo Yi is doing?"

Seeing his good attitude, Mo Ruhai was satisfied: "It's not your fault. Is she alright?"

"This bottle of medicine was sent to me by Madam. She said it's a good medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis in the Liang family army. This bottle was just bought from Tongjitang by me. The head chef said to use this."

"You're so thoughtful!" Mo Ruhai accepted it. "You have a lot to do lately, so don't worry about this place!"

Liang You could only reply, "Yes, I will bring you more medicine when it runs out. I will strive to perform well and earn Madam's trust so that I can have a bright future!"

Mo Ruhai nodded: "That's right! A real man should prioritize his future. Otherwise, he'll just be taking all the blame!"

He was speaking from the heart...
