Chapter 523 Adding insult to injury
It can be said that Mo Qingwan really has some means. The Mo family is wealthy and powerful, so they are naturally well-informed.
Not only did his own son get into trouble and go to jail, but Mr. Mo's ears were blocked as well.
After hearing this, Mo Qingwan was too lazy to pretend anymore. She put away the still dry handkerchief and sat up straight.
"Something went wrong with our family's business in Hezhou Prefecture, and my father went to handle it, but he was too busy to handle it."
It just so happened that when Mo Zonkai was imprisoned, the Mo family's business in Hezhou Prefecture ran into trouble.
Shen Zheng twisted her fingers and asked her, "According to Miss Mo's opinion, how long will it take for the head of the Mo family to deal with this mess in Hezhou Prefecture?"
——How long can you hold someone back?
But as soon as Yu Zhengqing started investigating the case, Mo's father rushed back and jumped up and down to rescue his son.
"More than a month." Mo Qingwan just felt that it was very easy to talk to Shen Zheng - no matter how he talked in a roundabout way, the other party could understand.
She lowered her eyes and whispered, "If something happens to my father on the way, it will take at most two months."
I've also thought about any changes that might occur along the way.
It seems that there is an irreconcilable conflict between Mo Qingwan and the entire Mo family.
Shen Zheng was a little curious. What kind of thing could force Mo Qingwan to this point?
She previously thought that Mo Qingwan wanted to fight for the Mo family's property - to get rid of the only heir, and then she would be the first in line of succession.
Although these families rarely hand over the business to their daughters, even if the daughter is the legitimate daughter, in their eyes, as long as the daughter gets married, the family property will be brought into the husband's family.
But the legitimate son is gone, so if the family property is not given to the legitimate daughter, who should it be given to?
——Maybe you can have another child now that you are old.
If this is true, Shen Zheng can only praise them for being "courageous".
But judging from the current situation, the above speculation has been overturned.
If Mo Qingwan really just wanted to fight for the Mo family's property, she would not have left herself no way out at all - her brother went to jail without any help.
Such behavior was too obvious. When Mo's father returned, the case of Mo Zonkai would be concluded, and Mo Qingwan's reputation of "murdering his brother" would also be established in the family.
Why fight for the family property? Not being kicked out of the house is great.
Although Shen Zheng was curious, this matter was ultimately Mo Qingwan's private matter. Mo Zongkai was not a good person to begin with, and she and Yu Zhengqing were just following the rules, and they were not afraid of leaving a braid.
Instead, with Mo Qingwan's help in stopping the people, it was easier for her and Yu Zhengqing to act.
"I have to thank Miss Mo." Shen Zheng thought of Mo Zonkai and asked, "After all, they are close relatives. I'm sure Miss Mo is feeling sad right now. Would you like to go and visit Master Mo?"
——Do you want to add insult to injury?
Mo Qingwan finally had a slightly different look on his face, and he looked up and asked, "Is it okay with my little girl?"
"Of course." Shen Zheng stood up and walked in front. "According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, close relatives can visit people in prison. But fortunately Miss Mo arrived in time, otherwise Young Master Mo would have been transferred to the government office and the visiting process would have been more troublesome."
Shen Zheng couldn't see her expression, she only heard her whisper, "Thank you, Master Shen."
In just a moment, the three of them arrived at the prison gate, which was the only place in the county government office that had not been renovated.
When the jailer saw Shen Zheng coming, he quickly led them to the single cell where Mo Zonkai was - he was the only one in the cell, and there was no one else to see except him.
The prison was dark, with no distinction between day and night.
Mo Zonkai's "single cell" was considered spacious in the entire prison, but it was also the one with the most rats.
When had he ever experienced such a miserable life? He was seen curled up in a corner of the cell, his back pressed against the wall, and he looked like he was sleeping.
When he heard the clinking sound of padlocks, he suddenly raised his head again.
He opened his eyes wide to try to see who was coming, but it was too dark.
"It's a bit dark." Shen Zheng also said.
The jailer scratched his head, took out a lighter from his pocket, and whispered, "There are only two of us here with him, so I thought it would be a waste to light a lamp... Please wait a moment, sir."
Mo Zonkai heard the noise here. He suddenly got up and rushed to the thorn bush.
Well, since we’re so close, there’s no need to turn on the lights.
"Mo Qingwan!" Mo Zonkai seemed to have been stepped on. He automatically ignored Shen Zheng and the others and started to greet Mo Qingwan alone.
"You bitch, you're here! Where's Dad? Where is Dad? I want to see Dad! Mo Qingwan, you wait for me. You've brought me to this point. When I get out, I'll skin you alive, pull out your tendons, and drink your blood and eat your flesh!"
Can't you tell the situation?
Shen Zheng pursed her lips and couldn't help but think of those stupid villains in the storybooks. Does art really come from life?
Mo Qingwan was not angry after being scolded. He turned sideways and said apologetically to Shen Zheng: "My younger brother is ignorant and has polluted Lord Shen's ears. I hope Lord Shen will forgive me."
Why is she angry now? She is the winner.
Mo Zonkai could not peel off her skin or pull out her tendons. On the contrary, now the two of them were, one inside the thorn bush and the other outside.
This time, it was Mo Zonkai's turn and he had no way to deal with her.
"God-given." Mo Qingwan said softly.
Ok?
Godsend?
Shen Zheng looked at Mo Zongkai, "You're the one called Tianci?"
Mo Zonkai turned a deaf ear to her ridicule, probably because he was too angry to bear it.
"Dad can't come, Tianci."
The jailer somehow managed to light up the lamp, and the dim cell finally had some light.
Mo Qingwan moved along the light, getting closer and closer to the bushes. He was almost face to face with Mo Zonkai, with only a bush of thorns between them.
Shen Zheng saw with her own eyes that Mo Zonkai's saliva sprayed on Mo Qingwan's face - "Dad can't come? How could Dad not come? Mo Qingwan, is it you! Did you do something? If Dad knew that I was locked up, how could he not come to save me!"
Shen Zheng thought that Mo Qingwan would pretend to be hypocritical with him and say things like "your father doesn't want you anymore", "your father is disappointed with you", "your father said he doesn't have a son like you anymore".
Unexpectedly, Mo Qingwan didn't play by the rules at all.
Her laughter echoed in the cell, and combined with the scene, it was actually quite creepy.
Then, as if she had suddenly changed into a different person, she said softly, "Tianci, Daddy is not in Liuyang Mansion. I, I really don't know what to do. Should I wait for Daddy to come back?"
No! Why is she like this all of a sudden? Shen Zheng rubbed her arms.
Obviously, Mo Zonkai's psychological endurance was stronger than hers. Even at this time, he finally thought of a solution.
He stretched out his hand from the bushes, trying to pull Mo Qingwan away, but Mo Qingwan was prepared and took a step back slightly, causing him to fail to retract his force in time and bump into the bushes.
"Ow—"
The sounds echoing in the cell changed from laughter to cries of pain.
But he only howled twice, and immediately looked at Shen Zheng: "Master Shen! Let her go, let her go! My parents must not know about this, so they didn't come, and she got the upper hand. As for the matter of me being locked up by you, send someone to my house and ask them to send someone to look for my father!"
