Mo Chenxi agreed on the condition that Wang Dongjia repeatedly promised not to tell anyone, and continued to play tricks, this time pretending to be Wang Dongjia's father-in-law.

Wang Dongjia found an excuse to go to the Mo family twice to tell Mo Chenxi about his father-in-law's personality, speech, actions and habits.

Mo Chenxi learned that the Nie family was a big merchant family, and that Mrs. Wang and Nie Chengping did not have the same mother. Mrs. Wang was already unhappy because her father had married a concubine, and after having a younger sister, she felt that her father was obviously partial to her younger sister, which made her even more unhappy.

The year she was about to come of age, she deliberately asked not to let her stepmother show up. Her father scolded her, but she insisted that her master take her to the mountain.

When her father and stepmother took her four-year-old younger sister to the mountain to see her, an accident happened. Her younger sister Nie Lingxuan was frightened and became what she is now.

Mo Chenxi thought, no wonder Mrs. Wang kept her younger sister with her after she got married and raised her like a daughter.

Mrs. Wang desperately hoped that she could communicate with spirits because she wanted to be saved. Seeing how well she took care of her younger brothers and sisters, Mrs. Wang's father would probably forgive her.

Mrs. Wang has been in a bad mood recently and often stares at her sister in a daze.

When there are no expectations, life just goes on like this. But when there are expectations but they are not met, there will be indescribable sadness.

Mo Chenxi went there and saw that Mrs. Wang was in a daze and almost fell down the stairs. In this situation, if Wang Dongjia hadn't brought it up, she would have softened her heart and wanted to help her, but Wang Dongjia's suggestion was the best, as knowing about the Nie family's affairs would make it easier to play tricks.

Wang Dongjia said that the eighth day of the ninth lunar month was Nie Lingxuan's birthday. On this day every year, Mrs. Wang would wear a golden cross on her head. That was the coming-of-age gift prepared for her by her biological mother.

She was wearing a gold bracelet, custom-made by the wife's father. The bracelet had Mrs. Wang's maiden name, Lingqiao, inscribed on it, and there was a small dent in the word "Qiao".

When Mrs. Wang's father had an accident, there was a jewelry box in the carriage, and inside it was this gold bracelet.

On the eighth day of September, Mo Chenxi bought some snacks from Wufangzhai and went to Wang Huilan's house without saying hello in advance. After entering, he saw Nie Nie Lingxuan wearing a red dress and exquisite jewelry on her head.

Seeing Wang Huilan and everyone in the Wang family eating around the table, Mo Chenxi said embarrassedly: "I went to buy snacks today. I thought Lingxuan liked to eat mung bean cakes, so I bought an extra one to send over."

The wife stood up and said, "Come and sit down. Today is my younger sister's birthday. I thought it was a holiday and you were all busy, so I didn't invite you over."

The maid took the food box from Mo Chenxi's hand, and Mrs. Wang came over and took Mo Chenxi's arm, "Our Xiangxiang asked Aunt Mo early in the morning."

Mo Chenxi looked apologetic, "Look, I didn't know Xuanxuan was having a birthday, so I didn't even prepare a gift."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Why didn't you prepare any? All these are my little sister's favorites."

When Nie Lingxuan saw the food box, she knew it contained food. After the maid opened it, she took out the mung bean cake first.

Usually when she took out snacks, she would give a bite to her sister first, but this time she tilted her head and for some reason raised her hand in front of Mo Chenxi.

Just as Mo Chenxi was about to say, "You eat it yourself," Nie Lingxuan said, "Mom, did you buy me some mung bean cake?"

When she said this, everyone was stunned.

Mo Chenxi's hair stood on end. Could it be that Nie Lingshan's mother really followed her?

Only Nie Lingxuan was grinning foolishly, insisting that Mo Chenxi take a bite of the mung bean cake before she would eat it.

As she ate, she said, "Daddy loves the mung bean cakes Mom makes."

Mrs. Wang could no longer hold back, her lips trembled and her face was full of tears.

When Mo Chenxi saw Wang Dongjia looking at her, she knew that this was asking her to take action.

This time she didn't faint and then get up. She touched Yue Lingshan's head and sighed softly, "Xuanxuan has grown so big."

As soon as she spoke, Mrs. Wang stopped crying and looked at her in astonishment.

Because she speaks Guanzhong dialect.

When Wang Dongjia told Mo Chenxi about his father-in-law, she asked if they should speak Guanzhong dialect. Wang Dongjia said no, because everyone in the Nie family could speak Mandarin.

Mo Chenxi did not tell Wang Dongjia that she could speak Guanzhong dialect. Her modern grandparents were from Guanzhong, and the owner of the restaurant where she worked the longest was from Xi'an, so she could speak fluent Guanzhong dialect.

She looked at Mrs. Wang with a loving expression, "Thank you for your hard work in taking such good care of my younger brothers and sisters. Daddy thanks you very much."

She looked at the gold bracelet on Mrs. Wang's hand again. "This is the one Daddy prepared for you as a coming-of-age gift. It got knocked off a little that time. It's a pity Daddy didn't have the chance to make another one for you."

Mrs. Wang sank to her knees and burst into tears, "Dad, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Dad, I regret it. I wish I had been the one to be killed by the rocks on the mountain. I don't want anything to happen to you because you came to look for me. Dad, I regret it. I'm sorry to you, to my brothers and sisters. It's me who made my little sister become like this."

Mo Chenxi shook her head. Wang Dongjia had told her, and so had his wife, that his father-in-law shook his head three times to the left and twice to the right, never once more.

She shook her head and said, "Dad has never blamed you. Dad has said before that everyone has their own destiny, and my fate in this world has come. Dad has been relieved to see that you are living well, but seeing you in pain, Dad has to come and tell you not to dwell on the past. I am relieved that you are doing well this way."

Mrs. Wang was crying so hard that she couldn't speak. She turned to Nie Chengping and said, "Chengping, come on, kowtow to your father."

She pulled Nie Lingxuan harder, "Hurry up and kowtow to your father."

Nie Lingxuan stopped eating when she saw her sister crying. She was so scared that she grimaced, wanting to cry but not crying.

At this moment, her elder sister pulled her hard and asked her to kneel down. She knelt beside her elder sister. Her elder sister asked her to call daddy, and she called mommy, "Mom, Xuanxuan is obedient. Xuanxuan listens to elder sister. Xuanxuan doesn't run around."

When Mrs. Wang saw that her sister didn't call her father "Dad" or "Mom", she thought her stepmother was living with her father. When she quarreled with her father, she told her father that she would never see her stepmother again as long as she was alive.

She knelt down and kowtowed, "Mom, I was wrong. I was ignorant. I shouldn't have said that you took my mother's place. Mom, I will take good care of my little sister."

Mo Chenxi...

Does she have to play another role?

But Mr. Wang didn’t tell her where Mrs. Wang’s stepmother was from or what her characteristics were.

"Don't worry, your mother did good deeds in her lifetime and has long since been reincarnated. After Chengping's mother and I have seen you, we will also be reincarnated. You must remember..."

She recited a sentence: "The benevolent see it as benevolence, and the wise see it as wisdom."

Wang Dongjia also told her this, saying that it was a calligraphy hanging on the wall of his father-in-law's study.

She asked Wang Dongjia what this sentence meant. Wang Dongjia looked at her strangely. Mo Chenxi knew what he was thinking: How could she, the daughter of a Jinshi scholar, not even understand this?
