Chapter 242 Xu Fa
"The Mo family wasn't originally based in Black Soil Village. The descendants of our ancestors lived here, but the direct line of the Mo family resided in Kyoto. Before this incident, we always lived in Kyoto. Perhaps it's because our ancestors left us so much status and wealth that some families started to have designs on us..."
As Mo Wenchen recounted his story, his expression changed, his eyes revealing a complex mix of emotions, his demeanor turning cold, his gaze filled with both icy indignation and regret.
"...For the sake of the Mo family's survival, my grandfather and his generation chose to conceal some of the Mo family's power, making it appear as if the Mo family had fallen. Unfortunately, even so, we still became a thorn in the side of others. Those people still wanted to obtain the Mo family's possessions. Perhaps we trusted some members of the Mo family too much, which ultimately led to the Mo family's secrets being revealed. This intensified their ambitions. After all, who doesn't want immortality? It's an irresistible temptation. This made the Mo family a target, with everyone wanting to tear off a piece. The reason our family is here now is because those people have become increasingly cruel. They even attacked my younger sister and the others, and they didn't even spare my grandmother. Everyone knew that staying in the capital would only increase the danger, so we chose to return. However, those who want the Mo family's treasures will certainly not let us go. But they dare not make a big move against the Mo family members yet. After all, after that incident, my grandfather and father attacked them. Even though they had no evidence, they knew it was the Mo family who did it, so they started to restrain themselves. But—"
"However, even so, those people still managed to infiltrate everywhere. It was my younger sister's fiancée's family who almost ruined my older sister for their own family's benefit. Fortunately, my younger sister was saved in time. However, their engagement was completely over, which became a knot in my older sister's heart, and also a knot in my mother's heart. She always felt sorry for my younger sister, and no one dared to talk about these things in front of her."
As Chu Jiuyue spoke, her expression remained unchanged. However, Mo Wenchen, who could read her mind, could still sense her displeasure. His wife was unhappy and somewhat powerless.
I know my wife doesn't like taking on these things, but there's no other way. As long as she's in the Mo family, those people will come after her sooner or later. To prevent her from being at a loss and unprepared when she encounters these people in the future, it's better to explain everything clearly now.
"And the bracelet on your wrist is a treasure that everyone is fighting over, but don't worry," Mo Wenchen hurriedly explained when he saw that his wife's expression was a little unpleasant.
"No one knows that your bracelet is a real treasure. Everyone thinks that the Mo family's treasure is a jade pendant, so no one will suspect anything."
Mo Wenchen's firm words puzzled Chu Jiuyue; what the system had just said seemed to suggest—
[Xiao Ba, I remember you just said that the female lead in another book knew that the Mo family's treasure was a bracelet. Why did Mo Wenchen say that no one would know?]
Uh?
Hearing the conversation between the system and Chu Jiuyue again, the content of the conversation made Mo Wenchen's heart skip a beat.
Indeed, no one knows about their family's bracelet except for the true leader of the Mo family. Others, such as collateral relatives and some members of the Mo family, only know that the Mo family's jade pendants are precious treasures that the Mo family has always cherished. So why would this system say that someone knows that the true treasure of the Mo family is the bracelet?
【system? 】
[...] Xiao Ba learned from the recent investigation and, upon hearing the host's question, hurriedly replied: [Host, the female lead initially didn't know it was the soul entity that sensed the bracelet's extraordinary nature. Furthermore, their desire to possess Mo Wenchen's body led her to later inadvertently discover that the bracelet was the Mo family's true treasure.]
How did they know?
From Xiao Ba's words, Chu Jiuyue sensed that something was amiss and asked again.
[It was because the Mo family members were controlled by that spirit entity, and the female protagonist used the Heart-Eating Gu poison to control them, that they learned the Mo family's hidden secret.]
【who? 】
[...] The system Xiao Ba remained silent in response, making it difficult for Chu Jiuyue to not know that the system was hiding something from her.
Not to mention Chu Jiuyue, even Mo Wenchen sensed something was wrong when he heard their conversation.
[Mo Wenchen's mother?]
Although Chu Jiuyue asked with a questioning tone, her tone was very firm, which frightened the system so much that it immediately fled, and even Mo Wenchen was stunned.
