Chapter 5: Chapter 5 Taking a Concubine
Madam Xie dragged Xuexue out from under the bed.
Due to the cold weather, Xuexue was soaking wet and had a high fever. When she woke up, she seemed to go mad and gave Auntie Sun a fierce beating.
Auntie Sun was grinding her teeth in anger. It was supposed to be her lucky day, but she had been injured by her husband's daughter, which was a total loss of face.
So, she wanted to call on Mo Xiaoqiang to take her side.
Mo Xiaoqiang's gaze shifted left and right, as he could not bear to look at Auntie Sun's face.
"Husband, I'm calling you?" Seeing that he remained silent, Auntie Sun called out again with a grimace, her face covered in wounds from Xuexue's recent attack.
"Oh! What?" Mo Xiaoqiang finally couldn't avoid it anymore.
"I said teach her a lesson," Auntie Sun said furiously, pointing at Xuexue with her finger.
"Ay yo wei!"
No sooner had she finished shouting than Auntie Sun screamed involuntarily, quickly covering her mouth corner with her hand, her expression one of intense pain.
She had been beaten by Xuexue to a pulp, and while she had been careful enough to talk before, now, getting angry and exerting herself, she had pulled at the wound on her mouth corner, causing her excruciating pain.
At Auntie Sun's pointing, Xuexue, who was being held by Madam Xie, suddenly broke free and charged over, mounting Auntie Sun and unleashing a fierce barrage of punches on her.
"Ahhhh... Help!"
At this point, Auntie Sun let out a loud scream.
This sudden change left the Mo family, young and old, once again stunned. Was this the normally demure Xuexue? She seemed like a completely different person.
"Old man, what's gotten into Xuexue today? Has she been possessed?"
"Nonsense, it's the calamity you brought upon us."
"What does it have to do with me?"
"If you hadn't arranged a concubine for Qiangqiang, would Xuexue be like this? Her father taking a concubine must have shocked her, that's why she's acting out."
"Hey! So, this is all my fault now? Wasn't I thinking of the Mo family's future? Think about it, Madam Xie didn't bear a son, should we let Qiangqiang die without an heir?"
Seeing that the Old Master was pinning everything on her, Old Lady Mo wasn't having any of it.
"I can't be bothered with you."
With that, the Old Master turned and walked away.
"Quickly pull them apart."
Mo Xiaoqiang came to his senses and shouted loudly.
This time it wasn't as easy to separate them as it was the first time. Xuexue grabbed hold of Auntie Sun and refused to let go.
Everyone was pulling at them with all their strength...
Xuexue quickly leaned into Auntie Sun's face, and no matter how much the others pulled, they couldn't separate them.
"Ah..."
Suddenly, Auntie Sun let out a piercing scream, her eyes rolled up, and she fainted.
Everyone was clueless about what had just happened.
It was only later that they found out Xuexue had bitten off Auntie Sun's ear.
Everyone shuddered. The normally gentle Xuexue seemed to have become a different person. It seemed that her father taking a concubine had indeed dealt her a considerable blow.
"Xuexue, Xuexue, where are you hurt?"
Madam Xie, with a mother's concern, paid no attention to Auntie Sun, her eyes fixed only on Xuexue.
"Sister-in-law, the blood on Xuexue's face, that's Auntie Sun's, you know?" Mo Daoyan couldn't help but speak up from the side. Just yesterday, he had envied his older brother for being able to take a concubine.
Who could have imagined that in just one day, the beauty had been transformed into such a state—a reminder of the unpredictability of life.
"Are you still there making sarcastic remarks? Hurry and fetch the doctor," Mo Xiaoqiang said, seeing Auntie Sun lying on the ground in a sorry state, and yet his brother was still standing to the side enjoying the commotion.
"Why are you taking your anger out on me? Deal with your own matters," said Mo Daoyan before turning to leave. He had no intention of fetching the doctor. Why should he take care of his brother's problem?
"Husband, husband, Xuexue has fainted." Madam Xie held the unconscious Xuexue in her arms and called out anxiously.
Mo Gong Sui said, "Stop howling, she's just fainted, not dead."
