Old Lady Mo also showed a face full of distress; this matter had thoroughly offended Auntie Tang.
It seed that the Mo family had no way out now; they could only rely on Xiuzhi to secure the position of a concubine as soon as possible to preserve their family’s wealth and honor.
"Yaner, stop being picky. Having sothing to eat is better than starving. We might have to endure such als until Xiuzhi becos a concubine."
As Old Lady Mo spoke, she picked up the chopsticks on the table and stuffed a few pieces of green vegetables into her mouth. She chewed a few tis, her eyebrows furrowed. Not having eaten for a while, the greens were truly tasteless—she didn’t know how she had endured it for decades.
Xiuzhi: "Don’t worry. Tonight, I will speak to the General, and tomorrow, we will have at and fish again."
Hearing this, Mo Daoyan finally burst into a smile: "My girl, you should ntion it sooner. Don’t let our whole family suffer!"
Old Lady Mo also told Mo Xiuzhi: "By the way, ntion to the General about that wretched girl Xuexue, how she treats us like this. She’s in charge of the household, yet she has us eating green vegetables and radishes every day, which is too much."
If it weren’t for Auntie Tang’s support for a while, they really would be eating green vegetables and radishes every day. Now, having fallen out with Auntie Tang, they had reverted to their forr state, which the Mo family found unbearable!
Indeed, others say it’s easier to accept bitterness before sweetness, but after tasting the sweetness, to suffer again is indescribably torturous—it’s practically like a living death.
That night, Mo Xiuzhi did not see the General. For the next few days, she waited outside his room, but didn’t even catch a glimpse of him. She felt incredibly lost not knowing what had happened. Why was the General avoiding her?
It turned out Auntie Tang, upon learning of this, made a huge scene with the General.
General Situ, seeking peace and quiet, decided to stay in the military camp and not co back.
Thus, it was truly difficult for Mo Xiuzhi to find him.
Without General Situ as her backer,
the Mo family could not improve their als and were plunged into dire straits.
After eating green vegetables and radishes for several days in a row, everyone was pale with bluish lips, even barely having the strength to walk.
"Ugh...!"
One day, while the Mo family was listlessly eating, Mo Xiuzhi suddenly began to dry heave: "Ugh...!"
"Oh dear! My girl, what’s wrong with you?" Madam Ruan quickly put down her chopsticks, rushed over, and patted her on the back, asking.
"Ugh...!"
Mo Xiuzhi continued to vomit until there was nothing left and then stopped.
"It’s... nothing. Maybe these days, I’ve eaten too many greens, and my stomach feels a bit cold," said Mo Xiuzhi with a pallid face.
"Wait a while. Mother will go to the kitchen to find so ginger and boil you so ginger tea to drink."
"Mmm!"
Madam Ruan helped Mo Xiuzhi back to the table to sit down.
Unexpectedly, Mo Xiuzhi glanced at the dishes on the table and ran to the side to vomit again.
Madam Ruan was extrely worried: "What’s wrong with the girl?"
Old Lady Mo, with her piercingly sharp eyes, watched Mo Xiuzhi dry heave for a long ti before saying in a low voice: "This girl, could she be pregnant?"
"What?"
Madam Ruan felt like she had been struck by a bolt from the blue, completely stunned. The General had not yet acknowledged Xiuzhi, and if she was indeed pregnant, how would she live in the future?
"Judging by this girl’s reaction, I think there’s a nine out of ten chance," said Old Lady Mo.
"Mother-in-law, what should we do? The General has not agreed to give Xiuzhi a status yet. If she’s pregnant, wouldn’t that force her into a dead-end?"
Also, in Moli Country, the male-dominated culture was severe, and for won, reputation was more important than life. If one lost their reputation, one could imagine how difficult Mo Xiuzhi’s situation would be in the future.
