The Peasant Wife: The Prime Minister's Beloved

As long as Mo Shiyu's father could teach that girl Chen Xi a lesson, her life would be much better.

"Thank you Miss Mo, thank you Miss Mo!"

Qin was so excited that she almost knelt down, but was stopped in time by Mr. Xie.

"What are you doing? Who said we have nowhere to go? Miss Mo, we have our own house in the village."

As soon as Mr. Xie finished speaking, he was glared at by Qin.

After experiencing such a comfortable living environment, Qin was unwilling to go back to that dilapidated and leaky adobe house.

She whispered in Mr. Xie's ear, "Old man, stop talking nonsense and thank Miss Mo!"

Seeing this, Mo Shiyu promised more firmly: "Just stay here with peace of mind. I promise to help you stay at Mr. Xie's place. This little thing is nothing to me."

However, Mr. Xie was becoming more and more anxious. "Miss Mo, we really have a place to live and we live well in the village."

There was a hint of pleading in his words, hoping to end this unnecessary disturbance.

"Don't go looking for Tianyi and Xiaoxi. They have their own lives to live."

Mo Shiyu's heart was in turmoil. Chen Xi refused to let them live in the luxurious mansion in the county town, and this old man Xie actually protected Chen Xi. This made the doubts in her heart grow like vines.

Old Master Xie seemed to see through her thoughts. Without waiting for her to ask, he slowly spoke with a voice full of vicissitudes and helplessness: "We raised Tianyi single-handedly, yes, but he has never forgotten our kindness in raising him even after he grew up, and has given us enough in return. My dear, since we have severed that relationship back then, we should not disturb his peaceful life anymore."

When Mo Shiyu heard this, her eyes suddenly shrank, and the handkerchief in her hand slipped unconsciously out of shock, falling on the bluestone slab with a light "plop" sound.

Seeing this, the maid behind her hurriedly bent down to pick it up, but she did not dare to return the handkerchief directly to the emotionally unstable young lady. She just held it carefully in her hand, waiting for the right opportunity.

"What do you mean by breaking off relations? Explain it to me clearly!"

Mo Shiyu's voice was mixed with disbelief and anger. She needed a reasonable explanation.

Mr. Xie sighed, as if recalling the past, and his tone was full of relief: "That is to say, we have no formal contact with Tianyi for a long time. My dear, let's stop here and don't disturb Tianyi's life anymore. Let's live our own lives peacefully."

After saying this, perhaps because he had been standing for too long, he felt a dull pain in his abdomen, so he slowly sat back in his chair to try to relieve the discomfort.

"So what if we're done? I raised him, so he has an obligation to repay me. Why can't I even stay in such a nice house for one night?"

Mo Shiyu was so furious at Mrs. Wang's unreasonable behavior that she could almost hear her heart beating faster.

It turned out that the relationship between them and Xie Tianyi had long been in name only. No wonder Xie Tianyi had no sense of family affection for them.

Thinking about how she had questioned Chen Xi aggressively earlier, Mo Shiyu couldn't help but imagine the possible ridicule Chen Xi might have behind her back, and she felt mixed emotions.

"Oh my god - why didn't you say earlier that you had completely severed ties? Why?"

Mo Shiyu lost control of her emotions and grabbed Qin by the collar, as if she wanted to get all the truth out of her.

"Ms. Mo, ahem, you didn't ask me either."

Qin was pulled so hard that she started coughing and looked a little embarrassed.

Mo Shiyu was so angry that she almost suffocated.

She had actually asked Chen Xi to respect this former mother-in-law with whom she had long severed ties, and even to stand up for her. This was such a huge humiliation that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

Mo Shiyu's outburst startled both Qin and Mr. Xie.

Especially Qin, who was grabbed tightly by the collar, almost felt that her breathing stopped.

The servants around were accustomed to such scenes and just watched silently, waiting for the storm to subside on its own.

Just when Qin felt she was about to suffocate, Mo Shiyu's hand finally loosened, as if reason had taken over again.

"Since it has nothing to do with Master Xie, let's deal with it. We don't want to keep people who eat for free in our house."

Mo Shiyu's words were cold and hard, and the servants in the mansion immediately understood what she meant, and quickly and efficiently "invited" Qin and Mr. Xie out of the door.

Mr. Xie was really hit by a double whammy. His old injury had not yet healed and he was kicked out of the house.

Qin's resentful eyes shot at him like sharp arrows: "If you hadn't been so talkative, how could Miss Mo drive us away so easily."

Mr. Xie covered his painful wound and uttered a few words with difficulty: "I am telling the truth. Don't cause trouble for Tianyi anymore."

He didn't want to see Xie Tianyi's disappointed and indifferent eyes again, which was a torture more unbearable than physical pain.

"Look at all the injuries you have. Can't you at least let me stay in this nice house for a while until I recover?"

Mr. Xie did not respond, not because he did not want to speak, but because the pain made him unable to speak.

The plan to live with Xie Tianyi has become a pipe dream, and he was expelled by Miss Mo. It seems that he can only return to that dilapidated village.

At this time, Qin vaguely remembered her two sons and daughter-in-law who were far away in her hometown.

"I don't know where the eldest and second brother have gone. We can't rely on them. You said you want to go back to the village, so let's get going quickly. It's getting late and the road is not easy to travel."

Although Qin was extremely unwilling, Mr. Xie's injury made her unable to take care of other things for the time being.

After struggling to reach the town with great difficulty, Mr. Xie suddenly fainted.

Qin then hurriedly invited the doctor from the town.

After the treatment, the one or two taels of silver that Xie Tianyi had given him before disappeared in an instant.

Looking at Mr. Xie lying unconscious on the bed, Qin's heart was filled with regret. If she had known this would happen, she should have followed Miss Mo back home, where at least she would have no worries about food and clothing and would have many servants.

However, these thoughts could only linger in her mind, as reality did not allow her to turn back.

At the same time, in the Liu family mansion, in Mo Shiyu's boudoir.

"How about this outfit?"

Mo Shiyu changed into a newly made pink dress and asked the maid beside her.

The light skirt swayed in the wind. A goose yellow belt was tied around the waist, with a sachet of the same color hanging on it, exuding a faint peach blossom fragrance.

She wore a goose yellow blouse on her upper body, her long hair was gently tied up with a ribbon, and her hair was dotted with several hairpins inlaid with pearls, which made her look more gentle and charming.

"Miss, you are one of the most beautiful women in our county, so you are naturally very beautiful!"

The maid's praise made Mo Shiyu feel a little better.

She changed into this new dress specifically so that she could go to Xie Tianyi in person to apologize.

In her eyes, the behavior of Qin and Mr. Xie was tantamount to deception, which made her lose face in front of Xie Tianyi and Chen Xi.
