Chapter 26: No Matter How Hard You Try

  Volume 1: The Cloud Family Has a Daughter Chapter 26: Offering Devotion for No Reason

  This illness of hers has been going on for half a month, and in this half month, she's always complaining that her life is like a pig's, every day either eating or lying in bed.

  She herself thought it was fine long ago, but no matter how much her father and mother said, they wouldn't let her out of the house, only allowing her to stay inside. Several times, Madam Tong seemed like she wanted to ask something, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

  Actually, Momo also knew in her heart that something might have happened when she was unconscious. Otherwise, her mother wouldn't come to Si Mian Ge every day to keep an eye on her, and her father wouldn't suddenly become so caring and concerned about her well-being.

  They didn't say anything, and Mu Mu didn't ask either. It's possible that she said something she shouldn't have while she was unconscious.

  Bei Chen would occasionally come over to see her when he had time, and each time he would bring a large pile of supplements.

  Every time he came forward, Yunyue followed closely behind, saying words that made it seem like she couldn't wait for Momo to fall ill, but her eyes never left Beichen Ye.

  Everyone in the capital knows that Second Miss Yunyue has a crush on Prince Yu of Beixue, the most powerful and favored by the Emperor.

  Every time Yunyue sees her, she looks so fake and pretentious that Mo makes her want to vomit. She told her not to come again, but Yunyue acts as if she didn't hear it and continues to do so.

  Foam foam annoyed and unbearable, once again rushed to Beichen Ye and said: "I'm fine now, you don't have to feel guilty anymore, just don't come again!"

  Bei Chen's face changed at that time, and his eyes were very scary as he stared at Mo Mo, as if he wanted to pierce her with his gaze. However, his endurance was not ordinary, except for being angry and turning green, he just let out a cold hum, turned around and left, and never came again.

  Tong's family knew about it and a few of them blamed Momo for it.

  It doesn't matter to her, anyway. As long as she can please that guy, he won't let her off even if he knows the truth, lest he be considered a "malicious" person. If he doesn't come, those flies and mosquitoes will also decrease, which makes her feel more at ease.

  However, what made her feel like she had seen a ghost was that her grandmother, who usually didn't get along with her, came to visit her several times. Although the concern wasn't very sincere, at least someone was coming to see her, right? So, she also respected the old lady and didn't care about what kind of idea the old lady had in mind. If you ignored their sarcastic remarks during their conversations, they really looked like a harmonious grandmother and granddaughter.

  That old lady is nothing, but what's the point of this Aunt Yun joining in the excitement? Every day she comes over with Li's wife to chat and ask about her well-being, not to mention bringing her some soup or porridge. Although those soups and porridges have never been drunk, from an outsider's perspective, it seems that Aunt Yun is truly fond of this legitimate niece!

  Not again! Today's come again! However, apart from Yun and Li, there is also a cousin.

  "Mo Mo, you'd better eat some more! This was personally ordered by your aunt and made in the kitchen. Your cousin is also very concerned about you, he went to the market early this morning and bought a live carp, which he watched being cooked in the kitchen. You have to try it!"

  "You'd better not disappoint your aunt's kind intentions."

  Yun's usual sharp tongue was nowhere to be seen, and he seemed like a kind elder. Even Li Shiyi, who usually didn't get along with Momo, was smiling and agreeing with him, but their smiles looked fake and even hinted at ulterior motives.

  Moisture feigned weakness, lying on the bed, her body weakly leaning against the quilt, only two legs were crossed in a very ungraceful manner, with one leg bent and resting on the other, smiling ambiguously as she watched the performance of these two women, perfunctorily flattering Yun Shi and Li Niang, glancing at Li Yong sitting not far away, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.

  Does she really think she's a fool and doesn't know about Li Yong's behavior? Which of the maids serving in the guest house hasn't been teased by him? Although she doesn't leave the study, whenever something happens in the mansion, she knows it clearly. Speaking highly of him in front of her, is he trying to get her to persuade Old Master to secure a good future for Li Yong?

  Bi Lu told everything about the Li family to Mu Mu. It turned out that every time during holidays, Yun Shi would come to the Yun residence under the pretext of visiting relatives and ask Yun Zhan to arrange a good position for his son in the army, but was always flatly rejected by Yun Zhan.

  What made her very puzzled was that the old woman's birthday had also passed, and these people had been here for a long time, how come she hadn't heard them mention going back? Lin'an City was their nest, and they still had business to attend to. How could they not be afraid of causing trouble after staying away for so long?

  Worry stood by the bed like a pillar, not moving an inch, her cold eyes staring at their every move, afraid that they would do something unfavorable to Momo again.

  Since Momo got sick, she hasn't taken a step out of the Momo Pavilion. Everyone who comes in and out is stared at by her, making Momo feel anxious and having a headache!

  Fortunately, those days of constant harassment soon passed, and half a month later, Momo had recovered to her usual energetic self. Not only that, but she had also gained some weight, and her originally slightly chubby cheeks now looked even plumper and more adorable. This made Yun Zhan pinch her cheeks every time he saw her, whether there was a reason or not.

  On this day, Mo Mo, in order to celebrate that she could finally come out of the Si Meng Ge which had confined her for half a month, persuaded Wu You to go shopping with her. However, before they even stepped out of the gate, Xia Jing, her mother's eldest maid, rushed in anxiously.

  "Miss, the old lady wants to discipline the madam at home, you'd better go and save the madam quickly!"

  Xia Jing's face turned red with anxiety, almost crying.

  Mo Mo's face sank upon hearing this, and she didn't say anything. She exchanged a glance with Wu You, and the two of them headed to the Taihe Institute together.

  Just as I arrived at Taihe Yuan, I heard Li Niang's characteristic shrill cry:

  "I say, sister, this marriage between our family and Aunt's is a great thing! This young man is handsome and dignified, and he has a deep affection for our young mistress! If she marries him, she'll have a life of ease and comfort, and Aunt will surely treat her like her own daughter! Sister, you don't agree, are you looking down on Aunt?"

  "No..."

  "If marrying brother-in-law has so many benefits, then let sister marry him!"

  Moisture outside heard the fire start, before Tong Shi finished speaking, one foot kicked open the door that had not been closed yet, with a "bang" sound, scaring everyone half to death!

  Wow, there are quite a few people here, aren't there! Mo Mo looked around in a circle and finally fixed her gaze on Li Niang's embarrassed face, with a sarcastic smile:

  "Li Yiniang, who do you think you are? It's not for a servant like you to comment on my affairs! What, is half a month of confinement not enough for you, do you want to stay in there forever?"

  As soon as these words came out, they immediately made everyone in the room gasp!

  This Mrs. Li is the old lady's niece, the aunt of the Li family, saying she is a slave, isn't that slapping all the Li people present in the face?

  Digression

  Well, after you guys have seen it, if you want to scold or something, just come on over.
