The general's eldest daughter has a spatial ability

While the Xiao family was enjoying a harmonious atmosphere, Mo Zhixia from the General's Mansion was crying her eyes out: "Mother, I can't wait any longer. I want to ruin Mo Liuyun's reputation so that she can never seduce His Highness again."

Liu Siwan hugged Mo Zhixia: "Tell your mother, what happened? Didn't you go to Chunfeng Tower for dinner with Prince Qing? Why are you back so soon? Why didn't His Highness bring you back?"

Liu Siwan bombarded her with questions, and Mo Zhixia's expression twisted as she gritted her teeth and said, "When I saw Mo Liuyun in the manor today, my intention was to ridicule him, but who knew that His Highness would be so distracted when he saw Mo Liuyun? He was even absent-minded when talking to my daughter, and said that Mo Liuyun was different from before!"

Mo Zhixia said resentfully, "Mother, do you think all men are just shameless? Before, when Mo Liuyun was chasing after him, he ignored her. Now that Mo Liuyun ignores him, he's chasing after her instead."

"What do you mean by chasing after Mo Liuyun?!" Liu Siwan was taken aback.

“We went to Chunfeng Tower for dinner today. His Highness was distracted the whole time. He only ate half of it before having someone send me back. Then I secretly had my maid follow him and saw him riding out of the city in the direction of Mo Liuyun’s maternal grandfather’s house. Mother, do you think His Highness went to see her?!” Mo Zhixia was so angry that she almost tore the handkerchief in her hand to shreds.

Liu Siwan thought for a moment and said, "Not necessarily. I heard that Duke Xiao was seriously ill a few days ago, and General Xiao has returned with serious injuries these past few days. Perhaps His Highness really has something to do. Even if he goes to the Xiao family, it may be to inquire about the situation. Besides, based on the last flower viewing banquet, where Prince Qing seriously injured Mo Liuyun, it is impossible for the Xiao family to be won over again." It has to be said that the old fox is still the most cunning.

He patted Mo Zhixia's hand again: "You said that Mo Liuyun's attitude is unusual. If that's the case, then this marriage will fall through sooner or later. As the saying goes, if you can't get married, you can only become enemies. But now it seems that we have to make two preparations."

Mo Liuyun already had a tarnished reputation, and we had originally intended to let her go. However, if Your Highness still harbored even a shred of such intention, then we would have no choice but to take a risky gamble and add another straw to the already crumbling Mo Liuyun's back!

Upon hearing this, Mo Zhixia hurriedly asked Liu Siwan, "Mother, tell me quickly what to do?"

"The first day of next month is your grandmother's birthday. I plan to hold a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet and invite some ladies, young ladies and gentlemen to the mansion to appreciate the flowers."

"What if Mo Liuyun becomes immoral and has an affair without a matchmaker? Wouldn't her marriage to the Prince of Qing be called off?! Furthermore, if she loses her chastity, she'll be forced to marry someone else, whether as a wife or concubine, it will depend on the other person's wishes. At that point, it won't be up to her; everything will be set in stone, and even if your father returns, he can't change it!"

“Mother, you are truly a female Zhuge Liang! We must choose a good husband for Mo Liuyun! After all, we are sisters!” Mo Zhixia’s eyes were full of malice.

"This is not our fault. We can only blame her for not having any self-awareness. As the ugliest and most useless woman in Beili City, she dared to try to climb the social ladder by marrying a prince. Who told her to stand in my son's way!" Liu Siwan said as she wiped the smudged makeup off Mo Zhixia's face and instructed the maid to redo Mo Zhixia's makeup.

In no time, Mo Zhixia returned to being the gentle and beautiful second young lady. Apart from her red and swollen eyes from crying, she showed no trace of her previous vicious and twisted appearance!

The next morning, Liu Siwan took Mo Zhixia to the old lady's courtyard. As soon as they entered, she greeted the old lady with a smile: "Greetings to the old lady, I am so glad you are here!"

"Greetings to Grandmother." Mo Zhixia also stepped forward and bowed.

"Oh, what brings you this joy?" The old lady asked, pulling Mo Zhixia closer while looking at Liu Siwan.

“Your birthday is just a few days away. I was worried that the autumn chrysanthemums in the garden would bloom late due to the chilly autumn weather, and I was wondering what flowers to use to decorate the birthday banquet. Today, the gardener came to report that some of the chrysanthemums in the garden have already bloomed in the past few days, and your favorite black chrysanthemums will also bloom on schedule in another three to five days. Isn’t this a sign of the old lady’s great fortune and the blessing of heaven?!”

Hearing this, the old lady smiled and nodded: "Please sit down. Zhixia is becoming more and more dignified and poised. She is so much better than that wretched Xiao Shi. The eldest son is blind to have such a good child."

Looking at Mo Zhixia with a loving expression, he said, "If it had been Zhixia who requested the imperial decree for the marriage, the General's Mansion's reputation wouldn't be in this state!"

Mo Zhixia said softly, "Grandmother, it's my fault. My elder sister is the legitimate daughter and is a perfect match for His Highness Prince Qing. I am just a concubine's daughter, and my status is really not worthy of His Highness! As long as you love me, that's enough. I dare not ask for anything else!"

“Alas! But His Highness Prince Qing is very dissatisfied with this marriage, and instead treats Zhixia differently. If the general returns and finds out about this, I’m afraid it will be difficult to explain. What should we do?” Liu Siwan said, feigning difficulty.

"What is there to explain? She has disgraced the entire General's Mansion. She still has the nerve to explain? It's already a mercy that we didn't send her to the estate. Prince Qing favors Zhixia because she is gentle, polite, knows her place, and knows when to advance and retreat. She is the most talented woman in Beili City, which is why Prince Qing looks at her with such favor!" the old lady said indignantly.

"It's a pity that Zhixia isn't the legitimate daughter, otherwise they would have been a perfect match, a match made in heaven! It's all my fault as her mother, I couldn't give Zhixia a good status, she can only be a concubine's daughter." Liu Siwan sighed.

The old lady pondered for a moment. As if she had suddenly realized something, she said, "If Zhixia were adopted into the Xiao family, wouldn't she become a legitimate daughter? The imperial decree states that the marriage is bestowed upon the legitimate daughter of the Mo family, so it can't be considered deceiving the emperor. In this way, Zhixia can also be given to Prince Qing as she wishes, killing two birds with one stone! What do you think?"

Liu Siwan had been waiting for this very sentence; otherwise, she wouldn't have given so many reminders. But she still pretended to be reluctant: "Xia'er is someone I carried for ten months and gave birth to. She is a piece of my flesh and blood. I have cherished her like a precious jewel as she grows up. If it weren't for the future glory of our General's Mansion, I would never have allowed her to call someone else 'Mother'!"

The old lady nodded: "But for Zhixia's sake, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you!"

"Grandmother, but what about my sister? She's no longer engaged, and she's grown up like that. I'm afraid she'll have a hard time getting married in the future. We should find her a good match so I can have peace of mind!" Mo Zhixia pretended to be very affectionate towards her sister.

Mo Zhixia held the old lady's hand: "Why don't we hold a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet for Grandmother's birthday and invite some young men and women to come? That way, my sister can also have a chance to meet them! What do you think, Grandmother?"

The old lady hugged Mo Zhixia tightly and patted her back: "Good, good, you're such a kind-hearted child!"

He turned to Liu Siwan and said, "In the next few days, each family should find out if there are any suitable candidates to choose for that girl. That way, even if the eldest son comes back, it will be a done deal."

"Yes, Madam, I understand. I will do my best to choose a suitable husband for the young lady."

The old lady nodded in satisfaction. When no one was watching, the mother and daughter exchanged a smile, their eyes filled with a malice that sent chills down one's spine!

They will definitely be 'well-chosen'. From birth to now, they have been looked down upon everywhere. Even though Mo Zhixia is a famous talented woman in Beili City, she still cannot escape the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children! Those who are not as talented or as beautiful as her still live a prosperous life.

Just a second ago she was fawning over the young masters: "Miss Mo is truly a talented woman, worthy of our admiration! May I have the opportunity to invite you to dine with me?!" But if she refused, she would be trampled into the mud: "A mere concubine's daughter, she doesn't know what's good for her, she really thinks she's a young lady from a prestigious family, she'll only end up as a concubine in the future."

"Yes, don't underestimate Miss Mo just because she's ugly and born of humble origins. She's the legitimate daughter of the emperor. General Mo actually traded his marquisate for a marriage decree from the emperor. Even though His Highness Prince Qing clearly doesn't like her, he still tolerates Mo Liuyun in every way. Isn't it just because she has a father who dotes on her to the bone?!" someone said sourly.

"This Mo Zhixia is also General Mo's daughter. Why does General Mo favor his legitimate daughter so much, and treat his illegitimate daughter so poorly?!" someone asked curiously.

"You don't know this, do you? Mo Zhixia's mother was originally General Mo's cousin. Her family fell into decline and she was taken to the General's mansion by the old lady. Who knew that during Xiao's pregnancy, she once drugged General Mo's tea and had a one-night stand with him, which is how she became pregnant with Mo Zhixia! She had no choice but to take him as a concubine after the proper ceremony!" another insider replied.

Whenever Mo Zhixia heard these things, she couldn't help but want Mo Liuyun to experience the same thing. That's why she wanted to steal her fiancé and make her a well-known ugly and incompetent woman. Next, she would do her best to choose a husband for her and make her wish she were dead!
