Farm Girl's Manor-Chapter 1329: Final - Ending Five_4

The reactions of both were quite good already. Today, Mo Yan had ridden on the back of the Golden Beast all the way to the Shen family residence, and on the way, they encountered many people, quite a few of whom were scared faint, while those who didn’t faint had weak knees and collapsed on the ground.

At that time, Mo Yan was in a hurry to travel and couldn’t attend to these matters, so she could only offer an apology in her heart.

The Golden Beast effortlessly dragged Lu Zhu into the house and threw her in front of Mo Yan. It paced elegantly to Mo Yan’s side, glancing at the three members of the Shen family and snorted, indicating its displeasure.

Hmm, anyone who upset Yanyan would obviously not please it either.

Shen Ji often visited the Mo Family and had seen the Golden Beast several times. In the past, the Golden Beast had always ignored him, and this was the first time it had made its displeasure clear. Shen Ji was overcome with shame.

Father Shen and Mother Shen did not dare to look directly at the Golden Beast, and they didn’t realize it understood human emotions, thereby failing to notice its disfavor towards them.

Mo Yan gently patted the head of the Golden Beast, signaling for it to tone down a bit, then she asked the three members of the Shen family, "This person, how do you plan to dispose of her?"

The three members of the Shen family exchanged glances, intuitively understanding each other’s thoughts, and eventually Father Shen stepped forward and said, "Lu Zhu has committed such a heinous act, from now on, she is no longer the niece of my Shen family. However the County Lord wishes to punish her, my Shen family shall have no further comments."

If today Liu Tinglan had truly died along with her children, Lu Zhu would have been an enemy of the Shen family, and the three members of the family would never forgive her. Even though now Liu Tinglan and her children are safe and sound, Lu Zhu’s behavior had also extinguished the last bit of pity they had for her.

"In that case, I shall handle this person on behalf of Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu, and how to explain it to the elders will be up to the Shen family," said Mo Yan, quite satisfied with Father Shen’s comment. Had they dared to shield Lu Zhu this time, she couldn’t guarantee that she wouldn’t take Sister Lan and her children away from the Shen family.

Looking at his niece, whom he had once doted on, Father Shen closed his eyes, hiding the deep pain in his eyes.

At first, when he promised his dying sister that he would take good care of her daughter, he truly loved her as his own child. Whatever girls in the city favored, he bought and piled in her boudoir, fearing she would feel neglected under someone else’s roof.

However, he never imagined that this indulgence had nurtured his niece’s temperament, causing her actions to become increasingly bold, to the extent that she dared to harm lives. That his niece had turned out this way meant he bore a heavy responsibility and was at fault towards his late sister.

"My lord, this isn’t your fault, and you mustn’t take the blame upon yourself." Having shared a bed with Father Shen for decades, Mother Shen could not help but detect her husband’s thoughts: "She has only been with our family for a little more than a year; how could this be your fault? If you think this way, then my blame is even greater."

Father Shen patted the back of his wife’s hand, gave a bitter smile, and shook his head without saying a word.

Seeing their reaction, Mo Yan frowned almost imperceptibly and said, "Since Sister Lan and the two children are unharmed, I won’t do much to Lu Zhu, although I will make her suffer a bit, I won’t take her life." She would make her wish for death, however.

Father Shen and Mother Shen could hardly believe their ears upon hearing these words. Seeing the serious look on Mo Yan’s face, they finally confirmed they had not misheard and were overwhelmed with mixed feelings, not knowing whether to be relieved that their niece had been spared, so they could account for their dead sister, or to thank Mo Yan for her leniency...
