Upon hearing this, the mother and daughter ordered someone to bring in Granny Yang.

When Granny Yang entered and greeted Madam Xiao, Mo Liuyun bowed and said, "Greetings to Madam and Miss."

Madam Xiao stepped forward to help Granny Yang up: "Granny, there's no need for such formalities. You are the General's wet nurse and also part of the Old Madam's dowry. I've heard the General mention you all this time."

The nannies all treated the general like their own child. The general was very grateful to the nannies and also regarded you as an elder. Since I entered the mansion, when the general was not at home, whenever the three of us, mother and son, were harassed by others, the nannies would always comfort the old lady and help mediate.

I am very grateful to the old nanny. I wonder if the old lady came to see us, or if she has some instructions for us?

Upon hearing Xiao's words, Granny Yang nodded with a smile, but when Xiao asked if the old lady wanted to see them for questioning, she shook her head: "It wasn't the old lady who sent me. I have a few words I'd like to say to you, Madam and Miss."

Upon hearing this, Madam Xiao nodded and dismissed Chunlan and Qiuju, along with their maids and servants, leaving only the three of them behind.

Mo Liuyun came over and helped Granny Yang to sit down on a stool: "Granny Yang, what do you want to tell my mother and me?"

After sitting down, Granny Yang looked at Mo Liuyun and said, "Then this old servant will speak frankly. After the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet tomorrow, the old lady and Concubine Liu discussed the idea of ​​adopting the second young lady into the name of the madam. I wonder if the madam is aware of this?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Xiao angrily retorted, "Don't even think about it! I have my own daughter, why would I adopt a bastard whose father is unknown into my name?"

Yang Mama was not at all surprised by Xiao Shi's reaction, but when she heard Xiao Shi say that Mo Zhixia's biological father was unknown, Yang Mama's eyes clearly showed doubt.

Seeing that his mother had revealed Mo Zhixia's true parentage in a fit of anger, Mo Liuyun could only say to Granny Yang, "Granny, this is a long story. According to my father, he did not touch Concubine Liu. Mo Zhixia's true parentage still needs to be verified!"

Granny Yang nodded. In wealthy and powerful families, there are countless secrets and scandals, such as maids climbing into beds, keeping mistresses, and having illegitimate children.

Moreover, it was the cousin who schemed against the general back then, and she could see that. How could the old lady not know that? She was just going with the flow. After all, the general and the second young master were very different in the old lady's heart.

Granny Yang nodded. She didn't inquire further about Mo Zhixia's background, and then said, "Judging from the confident manner of the old lady and Aunt Liu, something must have happened at this chrysanthemum appreciation banquet."

I came specifically to inform Madam and Miss to be careful. Also, I suspect the Old Madam has fallen for Aunt Liu's scheme. As you know, the Old Madam's lifelong pursuit has always been the honor of the family.

At this point, Granny Yang rose from the stool and knelt before Madam Xiao: "If one day the old lady commits a grave mistake, please, General, Madam, and Miss, forgive the old lady for raising the General, helping him marry and have children. This old servant will be eternally grateful!" After saying this, she kowtowed, ignoring Mo Liuyun and Madam Xiao's attempts to stop her.

Xiao Shi and Mo Liuyun exchanged a glance, and Mo Liuyun nodded. The two helped Yang Mama up, and Xiao Shi was puzzled as to why Yang Mama had made this request.

Mo Liuyun's heart stirred. As a mother, the old lady raised her children to adulthood, helped them get married and have children, which was the duty of parents. But Yang Mama regarded these as kindness. Unless the father was not the old lady's biological son, the kindness of raising is greater than the kindness of giving birth.

Mo Liuyun looked at Granny Yang and said, "Granny, I agree to your request on behalf of my father and mother. However, when that day comes, I hope you can tell my father what you know. After all, everyone involved has the right to know the truth, especially when it concerns my parents!"

Granny Yang was stunned. She hadn't expected the young lady to be so intelligent, guessing from just a few words that it was related to the general's background!

Granny Yang nodded: "This old servant made a mistake many years ago, but I don't regret it. If I hadn't done that back then, there might not be a general like you today. If possible in the future, this old servant will tell the general everything, and then I will leave it to the general to decide!"

After seeing off Granny Yang, Mo Liuyun told Madam Xiao about her suspicions, suggesting that her adoptive father might not actually be the old lady's biological son.

Upon hearing this, Madam Xiao was completely shocked: "Your father isn't the old lady's biological son?! How is that possible?"

Mo Liuyun then asked Madam Xiao, "Mother, if Father weren't a member of the Mo family, would you despise him for having parents of bad luck?"

"Of course not, I will only feel more sorry for Yi-ge. All these years, he has been so sincere but misplaced! Your father-in-law guards the frontier, and your father was sent by General Mo to the Xiao family to learn martial arts when he was young. Your father and I were childhood sweethearts and practiced martial arts together in the Xiao family. I value your father as a person, not his status."

Besides, your father's status as a general was earned through genuine military merit, far surpassing those hereditary titles! Even if your father wasn't a member of the Mohist school, it would be the Mohist school that suffers the loss.

"We can establish our own household then, and you can take my surname, Xiao! You can change your names and surnames after we find your father and biological parents!"

Hearing his mother's words, Mo Liuyun was very gratified. His mother was indeed born into a family of military generals. She had a bold and unconventional personality. His father had promised his mother that he would be with her for life. When his mother learned that his father's parents had passed away, her first thought was to feel sorry for him, to see his father as a way out, and to never abandon him!

She envied such a relationship and wondered if she would ever be as lucky as her mother to find a man as devoted and loyal as her father, to spend her life with and grow old together!

Thinking of this, the smiling face of the fox spirit appeared in my mind. Holy crap! Have I been bewitched by the fox spirit?

After seeing off Granny Yang, Mo Liuyun told Madam Xiao that no matter what happened tomorrow, they should not panic or easily believe what others said. Madam Xiao pressed Mo Liuyun to tell her if she knew of any conspiracy or trickery tomorrow, but Mo Liuyun dodged the question.

After having lunch with Madam Xiao, Mo Liuyun returned to her own courtyard. The reason she didn't tell Madam Xiao was that she was afraid Madam Xiao would be unwilling to let her take the risk and ruin her plans. Tomorrow, she planned to turn the tables on her so that she could successfully break off the engagement.

Locking up the scumbag and the bitch together would surely be quite a spectacle, given how selfish and self-serving they are. She enjoys watching such drama unfold, and it remains to be seen whether Nangong Chun will still show him affection and care once Mo Zhixia's true identity is revealed.

Once she successfully annuls the engagement, she will be a free person, able to take control of her own life and be as free as a bird in the sky and as unrestrained as a fish in the sea!

Mo Liuyun had a good plan, but things didn't go as planned. The old emperor intervened, which greatly changed the course of events!

At this moment, a thousand miles away from the city, Mo Yunyi and his deputy were resting at a post station. Mo Yunyi was feeding his horse grass. Ta Yun had followed him in battles across the north and south for many years and had always been personally cared for by him.

The lieutenant stepped forward with a smile and patted Ta Yun's hair: "General, according to today's schedule, we will be able to return to the General's Mansion by noon tomorrow, and we will definitely be able to make it in time for the Old Madam's birthday banquet to celebrate her birthday!"

Mo Yunyi smiled and nodded: "By the way, let me send Mo Yi ahead to the palace to deliver the news of victory and the letter of surrender, and inform the Emperor that I will enter the palace later. Tomorrow is my mother's birthday, and as a son, I should return home first to offer my congratulations. Please grant me permission, Your Majesty."
