Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: The powerhouse behind the Mo Family

The reason why Mo Ling had been poisoned back then was because someone had schemed for Zheng Xu He to consume a poisonous medicinal pellet, and thus, was unable to cure it. Mo Ling had no way of finding a way to use poison against poison from the ancient books.

In this method, the dosage of the poison needs to be very accurate. Mo Ling deeply loved Zheng Xu He, so she didn't trust others either. In the end, Zheng Xu He's poison was successfully dispelled, and the remaining poison on Mo Ling's body had yet to clear. Fortunately, it was not serious and she did not pay too much attention to it.

But now that he thought about it, Zheng Xu He was a very cautious person, very careful, how could he have accidentally taken a pellet? Furthermore, after Zheng Xu He was poisoned, Mo Rou had always been by her side muttering alarmingly and alarmingly, causing Mo Ling to become more and more afraid. She had chosen to take the risk, and the book on the method of using poison to attack poison was also given to her by Mo Rou.

As he thought of this, Mo Ling's gaze became more and more profound, and all kinds of emotions flowed through his eyes.

Why did she die that year? Who harmed her?

Mo Ling was getting more and more anxious about this problem.

The next day, when Mo Ling was meditating below the tree, suddenly, Mo Ling Yuan brought someone over, "Aiyo, Little Sister Yan, Second Sister has come to see you."

Mo Ling looked at the pearl hairpin above her head that was heavier than usual, and also had an expression of joy on her face. She guessed that after Mo Ling Xuan's status had fallen, Mo Yi would start to think highly of this mansion's second miss.

's mother was a lowly servant who was doted on by Mo Yi and abandoned after a few times. After she gave birth to Mo Ling Yan, she died young, and thus, Mo Ling Yan had no one to rely on.

Mo Yi only had three daughters in total, and now that Mo Yi had embarrassed himself completely, his second daughter naturally started to lose.

"What's the matter?" Mo Ling said, still with that indifferent face.

"Little Sister Yan, I know that you've never studied before, but you're still a little too lacking in manners. You didn't even mention getting up to welcome me." Although Mo Ling Yuan said this with a half smile, she was still criticizing her.

Mo Ling couldn't help but want to laugh, what a vile person. When he had come to beg her two days ago, he had been extremely intimate. Now that she had gotten what she wanted, she began to put on airs.

"I fell down yesterday, but my sister's leg is still hurting. It's inconvenient, so I won't get up." Mo Ling said as she curled her lips. Although it seemed like an explanation, it was actually a reminder to Mo Ling Yuan that she was the one who did the things yesterday. At the same time, Mo Ling also wanted Mo Ling Yuan to think that since she could pull Mo Ling Xuan off, then he could make her fall flat on her face.

Hearing that, Mo Ling Yuan's face changed, and a moment later, she regained her smiling expression, and came over from the maid's hand to show Mo Ling a book, "Little sister Yan, actually, I came to give you something."

"My mother and I, in order to thank you, specifically asked father to change a good courtyard for you. In addition, we also have some clothes, and these few months of silver, it was all due to the two of us."

Mo Ling took the booklet, and flipped through two pages, her gaze finally attracted by the name of the last page.

On it was a red stamp, impressively, two words were written on it — Mo Rou, and at the back, it was written "Approval".

How could it be her?

Mo Ling had some questions in her heart, but she pretended to be confused when she thought about what Mo Ling Yuan was trying to say, "What is this writing, is it also giving it to me?"

Mo Ling Xuan mocked Mo Ling in her heart, but pretended to be patient as she explained, "This is a person's name, and not an item. The Mo Mansion is so big, so there is naturally a department that specializes in accounting. The various expenses of the residence, such as the Madam's monthly expenses, your daily expenses, and even the things you need to add, all need to go through the accounting room. It's fine if it's just a small matter. For example, a large matter like bestowing a courtyard to a Family Head, has to be approved by the Family Head. "

Mo Ling was a little speechless, of course she knew these things. She wanted to ask why Mo Yi had not given her approval but Mo Rou instead, so she continued, "So these two words are father's name?"

"No, this is the seal of the Madame Rou. If father finds it troublesome, he will let her handle it." Mo Ling Yuan did not care about what she said, in her eyes, it was just a troublesome task.

Furthermore, Mo Rou was a servant in the past, and even if she was registered as one, she was not a citizen of Mo Family. However, from the way Mo Ling Yuan had addressed him just now, she seemed to have a very high position in Mo Family.

But how did Mo Rou obtain such a great power?

"Second Sister, I heard that the branch family members will be coming back in two months to celebrate the old woman's birthday. Do they need Madam Mo's approval to pay for their food and clothing?" Mo Ling blinked his eyes in curiosity.

"You know these things." Mo Ling Yuan was a little surprised, but immediately followed up, "Not only will the advance be managed by Madam Mo, we will also have to ask her about the distribution of the residences."

Hearing that, Mo Ling was even more shocked.

As the number one family, the Mo Family had many branches and many leaves. Although the Mo Family had the highest status, the ones contributing were either officials or business side branches. They were the foundation that provided the Mo Family with the money.

Hence, the annual birthday party for the family's elders had become a huge opportunity to recruit more people. The food and accommodation arrangements were all related to the communication between relatives and relatives, and could also be said to be related to the stability of the capital's Mo Family.

If even this kind of matter was managed by Mo Rou, then what kind of Family Head was Mo Yi, and what kind of power did he have?

These rights definitely could not be automatically given to Mo Rou by Mo Yi, there must be something else going on. Mo Ling had originally been suspicious. With Mo Yi's talent, even though he was the legitimate son, he simply could not sit in the position of the Great Family Head. Now, it seemed that he might just be a puppet, a Family Head on the surface.

The one who was truly in charge, could very well be Mo Rou.

Mo Ling could not believe that this kind of thing could be done by Mo Rou, who had her head lowered and his eyes lowered, and did not even know how to speak loudly. But at the same time, this made her feel more and more that her death was most likely related to Mo Rou.

There were growing signs that she had lived in a great conspiracy.
