Chapter 311: Chapter 311
This young lady said domineeringly, "I told you to shut up, didn't you hear? Believe it or not, I could slap you to death."
Nangong Suxin—the one who struck wasn't the Young Miss, but Nangong Suxin, who had always maintained the demeanor of a refined young lady from a great family in front of everyone. Except for being influenced by the Young Miss in private to become somewhat violent, overall she was still a very dignified young lady from a great family who wouldn't do anything beneath her status.
But now, she seemed not to be maintaining this dignity, because she was very displeased—extremely displeased. Therefore, Lin Yi's arrogant attitude at this moment directly caused her to strike.
Perhaps it was also because she knew that the Young Miss couldn't easily strike these people. Although the Young Miss's personality wouldn't worry about such things, this would still have some impact on the Young Miss. It was better to let herself do it instead, since she had always been the Mo family's imaginary enemy anyway.
From one perspective, it was also because she cared about the Young Miss.
This was the relationship between her and the Young Miss. Both were —caring for each other but always fighting, constantly bickering and being at odds. Once external enemies appeared, they would unite against the outside and be more united than anyone else.
"Nangong Suxin, don't be too arrogant. Offending our Mo family..." Lin Yi wanted to shout back, but was interrupted again.
Nangong Suxin gave Lin Yi another slap and said disdainfully, "So what if I offend your Mo family? Do you dare do anything to me? Even if you dared, do you have that ability? Also, Mo Family Head, I want to say something else—so what if the Nangong family goes to war with the Mo family? Do you think our Nangong family doesn't have that qualification? Hmph, if it weren't for Mo Yu's sake, I could kill all of you."
"You..." Lin Yi wanted to refute something but found he couldn't speak because he couldn't find words.
At this moment, everyone seemed to remember this fact—Nangong Suxin was fundamentally someone who existed on the same level as the Young Miss. Her words weren't exaggerated at all. She indeed could kill everyone here, and could even massacre the entire Mo family clean. She had this ability.
As for what the Mo family could do to her, this was very obvious—nothing at all.
What the Mo family relied on was the Young Miss, but Nangong Suxin was someone who existed on the same level as the Young Miss. Whether in martial power level or authority level, they were people of the same status and ability. Moreover, Nangong Suxin had the additional power of a family—a family force much stronger than the Mo family.
Taking a step back, if Nangong Suxin wanted to massacre the Mo family, even if the Young Miss stood on the Mo family's side to resist, the Mo family's fate would still be very miserable, because the Young Miss could be offset by Nangong Suxin, and in other aspects, the Mo family was far inferior to the Nangong family.
All along, their confidence had been too inflated, forgetting this simple and obvious truth. Now, when being oppressed by Nangong Suxin , they discovered that their confidence could be so fragile, easily shattered. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
"Nangong Suxin, let me handle this. You go stand aside." The Young Miss shook her head with a bitter smile. Although she told Nangong Suxin to stand aside, everyone could see that she didn't blame Nangong Suxin at all.
What did this indicate? It indicated one point—the Young Miss wouldn't stand on the Mo family's side in this matter. At most, she would preserve everyone's lives; she might not care about anything else.
"Mo Yu, what's going on with you? How did you suddenly come back?" The Mo Family Head also seemed very calm. Even facing Nangong Suxin's oppression, he seemed not to take it to heart, at least not expressing it on the surface, still maintaining a very composed appearance as if nothing had happened.
"If you don't want others to know, don't do it. You think you acted very secretly and no one would know, but the news has already reached other people's ears. It would be difficult for us not to know." The Young Miss said helplessly.
"Who? Who are these other people?" The Mo Family Head said in shock. This hadn't even left the main gate, yet people already knew about it. What did this mean? It meant everything about him was under others' surveillance.
"You don't need to worry about that. Some things are beyond your control." Nangong Suxin interjected. She was afraid the Young Miss might say too much. Although the Young Miss also knew propriety, the other party was her grandfather after all.
The Young Miss also understood Nangong Suxin's meaning. She didn't blame Nangong Suxin for worrying, because this matter concerned Nangong Third Miss.
Nangong Third Miss had an intelligence organization in her hands, responsible for gathering intelligence. This was a military resource of the Great Tang Empire. Because it was the Great Tang Empire's military, this intelligence organization was almost omnipresent—it was simple to find out about anything.
Although surveilling the Mo family had a bit of personal interest, it was still within normal bounds, and no one would say anything about it.
Obviously, she also hadn't put too much attention on the Mo family. Otherwise, this news wouldn't have been transmitted so late—it should have been discovered long ago, and such things wouldn't have happened.
But when they received the news, the Young Miss and Nangong Suxin immediately rushed over. The others were all behind, and Nangong Third Miss was already mobilizing forces, preparing to surround the Mo family. This was naturally a fully prepared arrangement.
If any problems arose, she would unhesitatingly order the Mo family to be razed.
"Mo Yu, then what do you want to do? Are you going to oppose me for the sake of a small servant?" The Mo Family Head asked coldly. Although Nangong Suxin hadn't answered directly, this question didn't need too much knowledge—he just needed to know that everything about him was being monitored by others.
Today, he was somewhat annoyed. Not only had Xiaoyao's matter escaped his control, but now there was also the matter of being constantly watched by others, shattering everything he had originally thought was beautiful.
"If something happens to Xiaoyao, I will." The Young Miss looked at the Mo Family Head and said without hesitation, her tone resolute and firm, which surprised everyone.
All the Mo family members had previously been thinking that even if the Young Miss found out, she couldn't possibly turn against her family, but now it seemed it wasn't as they had thought.
If something happened to Xiaoyao, the Young Miss would probably explode. The Mo Family Head might be able to escape, but others absolutely couldn't.
"Mo Yu, don't forget that you are a Mo family member." The Mo Family Head said sternly. No matter who you are, Mo Yu, you are my granddaughter and must listen to me.
"I am a Mo family member, but I've always regarded Xiaoyao as a brother. If something happens to him, I can't do anything to you, but as for others, hmph." The Young Miss snorted coldly as she looked at those people, her gaze very unfriendly.
Everyone immediately fell silent, not expecting the Young Miss to think this way. If this were the case, had they killed Xiaoyao today, they believed they wouldn't live past tomorrow either, including Lin Yi.
Fortunately, they hadn't.
At this moment, everyone was feeling fortunate—fortunate that nothing had happened to Xiaoyao and that he had already left.
"You're rebelling. Do you want to see our Mo family destroyed?" The Mo Family Head roared angrily. He was very dissatisfied with the Young Miss's attitude. I'm your father's father—what kind of attitude is this?
"I'm doing this precisely because I don't want to see the Mo family destroyed. Otherwise, the Mo family wouldn't have even a shred of hope left." The Young Miss looked at the Mo Family Head and said, "Do you know you made a mistake? You shouldn't have made a move against Xiaoyao."
"A mistake—so what if it's a mistake? Killing a small fry like him, what trouble could it possibly cause? Could it be that your general position in the Great Tang Empire is just for show?" Lin Yi said somewhat sarcastically, also with some jealousy, because the Young Miss was too favored in the Mo family, which made him very uncomfortable.
"If I really had to speak from my position in the Great Tang Empire, the first thing I should do now is execute all of you, and even exterminate the Mo family." The Young Miss said coldly.
No one understood the Young Miss's statement, including the Mo Family Head. He was equally puzzled and had no idea what the Young Miss meant by this. What did she mean by saying that if it were from her position in the Great Tang Empire, she would instead execute all of them and exterminate the Mo family?
"You think Xiaoyao is a small fry, but that's just because he keeps a low profile. He also has status in the Great Tang Empire." The Young Miss said with some emotion. Perhaps this was also because this kid was too low-key, otherwise this incident wouldn't have happened.
"What status? Could it be higher authority than yours?" The Mo Family Head frowned.
"His status and authority aren't necessarily higher than mine, but I must protect his safety, because his status is that of a Young Prince of the Great Tang Empire's royal family." The Young Miss said. She believed this news would shock everyone, because when she learned this news, she was completely stunned and found it incredible.
Indeed, everyone was stunned, standing there like wooden chickens, especially the Mo Family Head. After learning this, his expression changed extremely richly.
He also understood that if this matter were true, when investigated, the Mo family would definitely have a hard time.
"Is this true? That's impossible. He grew up in the Mo family since childhood—how could he possibly be a Young Prince of the Great Tang Empire's royal family?" The Mo Family Head couldn't believe it. He felt this matter must be mistaken, or the Young Miss was joking with him. But would the Young Miss joke at a time ?
Definitely not. Then the result was that she was mistaken? This possibility was also very low.
"It's true that he grew up here, but no one knows what his background is. It's not impossible for him to be a Young Prince." The Young Miss said.
"No way. If he were, then why would he still ask about his own background? He shouldn't know, right?" The Mo Family Head presented a viewpoint, wanting to refute Xiaoyao's Young Prince identity.
