Chapter Thirty-Eight: Ending Good Karma

  Tan Xiao's eyes had seen many people, but few had caught his attention. The current heir of the Mo Wang Fu was quite a surprise, and the late Mo Wang could finally rest in peace.

  "Is that Mo Li? Come, come, hurry up and sit down. Snow and her brother are also here, you know them too. Let's be more casual, there aren't many rules in my place." Tan Xiao enthusiastically invited Mo Li to sit next to him, while the servant on the side quickly served new tea and replaced some of the pastries with fresh ones.

  Mo Li saw the situation and didn't hesitate, thanked again after which he sat down in a big and straightforward manner. After sitting down, his gaze finally fell on Han Jing and Han Jiang Xue, also smiling naturally at them respectively.

  "I say, Mo Li, I'm a straightforward person, and my heart isn't made of wood. To be honest, I've never had much of a relationship with your family's Old Master Wang, nor have I had any dealings with the Mo Wang Manor. You suddenly coming to congratulate me on my birthday must have some other reason behind it, right?"

  Tan Xiao spoke straightforwardly, after asking others to sit down, he broke through this layer of window paper. The nature of the martial general was undoubtedly revealed, but unlike those civil officials with many twists and turns.

  Upon hearing Tan Xiao's question, Mo Li smiled slightly and explained in a completely sincere tone: "General, you are wise. I was originally planning to go to the Han residence to thank Miss Han, but I heard that she came to the Tan residence today to wish you a happy birthday, so I took the opportunity to come and congratulate you as well."

  "Oh, so you're really here to find Xue'er, haha......" Tan Xiao listened and praised with a smile: "You're not bad, honest and tight, much better than those oily mouths!"

  Tan Xiao said with a smile, winking at Han Jiangxue, looking very sly. Even in front of Mo Li, he didn't hide anything, which made Han Jiangxue laugh and cry at the same time.

  "Mo Li, what did you say to my sister?" Han Jing followed closely behind him, with a puzzled expression and an interrogative tone that was slightly warning, subconsciously alert to whether anyone had ill intentions towards his sister.

  "Big brother, why do you speak as if interrogating a prisoner?" Han Jiangxue couldn't help but complain to Han Jing. She naturally knew what Mo Li meant by "thank you", so she said to Mo Li: "Don't mind them, and don't take last time's matter to heart, I just casually mentioned it, no big deal."

  "Huh, it seems there really is something! Han Jing listened dazedly and shouted: "What on earth are you two talking about? Hurry up and tell me, why make such a mystery of it?"

  "Right, right! This is just casual chat, and surprisingly, Xue Er has skills to help people, this really makes one curious!" Tan Xiao happily chimed in: "Mo Li, hurry up and tell us what's going on?"

  Mo Li opened his mouth, just about to speak, but was interrupted by Han Jiang Xue: "Grandfather, big brother, can't you be less curious? Who is as nosy as you two..."

  The words had not been finished, but Tan Lao Yezi suddenly waved his hand to interrupt Han Jiangxue's words, as if he hadn't heard them, and asked Mo Li with a smile: "Mo Li, how old are you this year? Are you engaged? When did you meet our family's Xue Yatou?"

  Although Tan Xiao no longer asked about Mo Li's gratitude, he continued to ask if Mo Li was engaged and when she met her. Han Jiangxue felt that his face was almost lost, and he stood up and pulled Tan Xiao: "Grandfather, you are too much! Is there anyone who speaks to people like this?"

  "Stinky girl, what are you glaring at? Can't Grandpa say a few words to him?" Tan Xiao scolded Han Jiangxue with one sentence, then turned back to look at Mo Li with an expression of not having time to bother with her, ready to continue questioning.

  Han Jiangxue saw the situation and knew that this old stubborn child was unstoppable once he got excited, so she didn't think twice and directly pulled Mo Li up from beside her, saying: "Don't you still have a lot of things to attend to? Let's go, I'll send you out!"

  Mo Li had never seen such a joyful interaction between family members before, and for a moment, a few strands of smile appeared on his usually calm face. Seeing Xue being pulled away by Han's family, he didn't feel anything out of place, but instead nodded at Tan Xiao and Han Jing with an extra sense of composure as they walked away.

  "Hey, I said little girl, how can you drive people away? This butt hasn't even warmed up yet!" Tan Xiao saw Han Jiangxue pulling Mu Li to leave and subconsciously stood up to go and stop them.

  For a moment, the atmosphere in the courtyard seemed particularly cheerful, while Han Jing on the side couldn't help but laugh, it was the first time he saw his own sister being bullied by her grandfather like this, it was really interesting, usually it's the other way around with his sister bullying his grandfather!

  Hearing the big brother's unceremonious laughter behind her, Han Jiangxue didn't even turn her head, and continued to pull Mo Liyi's sleeve to walk outside. However, she threw a sentence back: "Han Jing, if you still want to marry Lin sister, then take good care of Grandpa here and don't let him wander off."

  This hit directly struck Han Jing's weak point, and the mood of watching a good show was instantly retracted. He immediately honestly followed his sister's orders to stop his grandfather who wanted to stay behind.

  Mo Li saw the situation and the smile on his face grew thicker. He didn't pay attention to what was happening behind him again, allowing Han Jiang Xue to pull him out of the yard quickly.

  The two of them walked until they reached the front courtyard garden, when Han Jiangxue finally let go of his hand and stopped, turning to Mo Li with an apologetic face: "I'm really sorry, my grandfather is getting older and more like a child, don't mind him."

  "No big deal, I think General Lao's personality is quite interesting." Mo Li naturally didn't mind and his expression wasn't awkward at all: "He's just concerned about you, let him ask a few more questions, it doesn't matter."

  Jian Mo Li was indeed not taking it to heart, and Han Jiang Xue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then she asked: "By the way, you came here specifically to find me, is there something else important?"

  "Besides thanking you for what happened to my brother last time, there's something more important I need to tell you." Mo Li got straight to the point and said: "The matter you asked me to investigate last time doesn't have any news yet, but I did find out something related to your Han family that I think will be helpful to you."

  "What's the matter?" Han Jiang Xue listened to it and naturally attached great importance to it. She understood that this was Mo Li's thank you gift for reminding her last time and saving Yu Shizi, so she didn't have those excessive polite words either.

  The people of Huomo Pavilion found that in recent years, many talented descendants of the Han family have appeared unexpectedly, either dead or disabled, or with official lawsuits on their backs. However, all this is not really unexpected, but rather man-made. The purpose should be to suppress the Han family and weaken its power.

  When Han Jiangxue heard the news, she was indeed surprised, but not because of the matter itself. In her previous life, before her death, she had already picked up some clues from Liu's mouth and knew that the misfortunes of many young talents in the Han family over the years were related to Liu. However, she never expected that Mo Li's Huo Mo Pavilion would be able to investigate these anomalies in just a few days.

  It's no wonder that even the emperor had to show restraint towards Mo Li in a short while, it seems that this person's hidden strength is indeed not to be underestimated.

  On the evening of Qi Xi, Han Jiang Xue asked Mo Li for help in finding the whereabouts of Wen Po because she really had no other way out. Later, she thought that she could repay him a little, but unexpectedly, she accidentally got entangled with such a formidable figure and formed a good relationship.
