Reborn Aristocrat: Oppressing

“What?! Why did Mo Li kill Daisy! Why would she let you do that?!”

“It’s the truth, Madam. I won’t dare to speak nonsense. Miss has always had a good relationship with me, so I was curious as to why she would do this. It was evident that Daisy had always been by her side, and they had such a good relationship. She told me not to ask for the reason and told me not to tell anyone. After we did it, she said we could just bring Daisy’s corpse to her room the next day. After we’re done, she asked me to leave the Mo family’s villa and to never appear again. And that sum of money is just to make it up to me. Although Miss has given me a lot of money, I really couldn’t bear to leave here. Everyone knows that Old Master and Madam treat us well, and we have a high salary as well. Everyone can’t bear to lose this job, so I was unwilling to leave today. But I didn’t dare to disobey Miss,” Xiao Juan said.

Jiang Yuyan looked at Xiao Juan in disbelief, and her eyes widened. She could not believe that her own daughter would do something so brutal.

Xiao Juan kept her head down as she cried. She did not really want to sell her out, but she was afraid of going to jail.

She still had to take care of her younger brothers!

“How can we believe you’re not spouting nonsense!” Mo Kun was extremely stern.

“Old Master, I won’t dare to lie! I really won’t dare!” Xiao Juan suddenly knelt on the ground. “Last night, at dawn, Miss threw Daisy down from the second floor to me while covering its mouth. Daisy doesn’t reject me, so it didn’t make a scene when I hugged it. Miss told me that there was a passageway from my room to the brook that didn’t have any cameras, and she told me to follow it. I took Daisy there last night, and then… I really didn’t want to kill Daisy. I looked at its innocent eyes, and it kept on looking at me. I felt terrible, and I had nightmares the whole night. I’ve never done anything so brutal…”

Mo Kun seemed to be fuming as well. He was so angry he could not believe that his daughter had directed this on her own. What was her objective?!

Meanwhile, Xiao Juan had been a servant in the Mo family for so many years. Faced with so many of them, she could not possibly lie.

Moreover, when Lu Manman interrogated her just now, she had already made it clear that Mo Li was behind Daisy’s death!

The living room was suddenly very quiet, and the atmosphere was tense.

Lu Manman turned to look at Mo Yuanxiu. He had been very calm and quiet throughout.

A light cough sounded on the stairs.

Everyone turned to look at Mo Li, at her pale face and limpid eyes, which were staring at everyone downstairs.

When Xiao Juan saw Mo Li, she hung her head even lower.

Under the gaze of her family, Mo Li walked down step by step and appeared before them with her pale face.

She looked at Lu Manman.

Everyone was silent.

Mo Li suddenly said, “Sister-in-law, you really don’t like me, do you?”

Lu Manman smiled but did not answer.

“When I see you, I’ll really think of Daisy. I really want to forgive you, and I can even pretend that I don’t know anything, but can you give me some time? Let me be fine and quiet for a while,” Mo Li said as tears rolled down her face. Her pale face was really frightening. “I know you’re my brother’s wife, and we’ll meet again often. I really don’t want to hate you. I just want more time…”

Lu Manman looked at her.

She was still in tears, looking so pitiful.

Mo Li still had no idea what had happened in the living room?!

But she was still curious as to why she would suddenly leave her room. Had she heard something?!

“Xiao Juan, what are you doing here? Didn’t I get someone to call you to come to my room?” Mo Li asked in a gentle and unhappy tone.

Even if she was unhappy, she did not sound forceful at all. Her voice was so soft and soothing.

“Miss, I…”

“Come upstairs with me,” Mo Li whined. “I’ve even come down to look for you.”

“Yes, Miss.” Xiao Juan nodded and got up to leave with Mo Li.

Mo Li stopped in her tracks. “Sister-in-law, sorry to trouble you.”

Her meaning could not be clearer. She just wanted her to leave this family as soon as possible.

Mo Li was really scheming.

Lu Manman finally understood now. Mo Li had done so many things, from being framed to being sent to the Intensive Care Unit, and then back home. She had made herself appear so vulnerable because she did not want Lu Manman to continue staying in this house. Or rather, to prevent her from investigating the truth, to cause her to be misunderstood and leave without giving her a chance to explain herself. To an ordinary person, when the house was in such a mess, anyone with a bit of manners and understanding toward others would have to leave at this point.

After this crucial period was over, if they were to talk about this again in the future, everyone would think that she was just finding trouble for herself. No one would want to listen to her, and they would even think that she was making trouble out of nothing! Then, the end result would be that the matter would be left unresolved. She would not have the chance to speak up for herself and would just suffer in silence, leaving a deep impression in the hearts of the Mo family that she was brutal and merciless! Meanwhile, Mo Li would still be that obedient girl. In fact, because of Mo Li’s magnanimity later on, Lu Manman herself would appear even more despicable.

“Xiao Li, take care of yourself then,” Lu Manman suddenly said.

Mo Li looked at her and nodded.

When she nodded, her body trembled again.

She seemed to be suppressing his emotions.

The more she pretended, the more she could see her true colors.

Lu Manman got up and stole a glance at Mo Kun, Jiang Yuyan, and Mo Yuanxiu, who had been sitting there quietly. She was ready to leave.

She did not want to go through what happened this morning. She did not want Mo Li to faint all of a sudden. No matter what the reason was, the Mo family was still concerned about her.

She had already told everyone everything that had happened.

She really did not care how the Mo family would treat her.

After all, this was the Mo family’s business, and she was just trying to clear her name.

She had only taken two steps when Mo Kun’s voice was heard from behind her.

He slowly asked her, “Xiao Li, why did you frame Lu Manman?”
