050 Revealing the Secret of the Mohists 2

"However, even so, those people are still as persistent and insidious as a bone-deep infection. Even my younger sister's fiancé's family, for the sake of their own family's interests, almost pushed my older sister into an abyss of no return. Fortunately, my younger sister was saved in time."

However, their engagement had completely fallen apart, leaving an indelible scar on the younger sister's heart, and becoming a permanent pain in her mother's heart as well. Everyone remained silent, afraid to mention these things in front of her.

As Chu Jiuyue spoke, her face remained calm and composed, but the resentment in her heart surged like a raging tide. Mo Wenchen, who could see into her heart, understood this perfectly. His wife was unhappy, but he felt somewhat helpless.

He knew his wife didn't like getting involved in these trivial matters, but there was no other way now. As long as his wife was still in the Mo family, those people would come after her sooner or later. To avoid his wife being at a loss and unprepared when she encountered these people in the future, it was better to tell her everything now.

"And the bracelet on your wrist is a rare treasure that they dream of and are eager to possess. But you can rest assured," Mo Wenchen quickly explained when he saw his wife's somewhat gloomy expression.

"No one knows that your bracelet is the real priceless treasure. Everyone mistakenly believes that the Mo family's treasure is a jade pendant, so no one will suspect anything."

Mo Wenchen's resolute words aroused Chu Jiuyue's doubts. What the system had just said seemed to be—

[Xiao Ba, I remember you just said that the female lead in another book knew that the Mo family's treasure was a bracelet. Why did Mo Wenchen say that no one would know?]

Uh?

Hearing the conversation between the system and Chu Jiuyue again, the content of the conversation startled Mo Wenchen.

Their family's bracelets are like a mysterious enigma, the truth of which is unknown to anyone except the true leader of the Mo family.

Collateral relatives and other members of the Mohist school only knew about the Mohist jade pendant, regarding it as a treasure cherished by the Mohists for generations.

However, why does this system claim that someone knows the true treasure of the Mo family is the bracelet?

【system? 】

【…】

Having learned from the events he had just investigated, Xiao Ba quickly responded to the host's question:

[Host, the female lead was indeed unaware at first. It was that soul entity that keenly sensed the bracelet's extraordinary nature, and coupled with their attempt to possess Mo Wenchen's body, they later inadvertently discovered that the bracelet was a true rare treasure of the Mo family.]

How did they find out?

From Xiao Ba's words, Chu Jiuyue sensed something unusual and pressed for more information.

[It was the Mo family members who were controlled by that soul entity, like puppets on strings. Furthermore, the female protagonist used the Heart-Eating Gu poison, which coiled around the Mo family members like a venomous snake, thus revealing the Mo family's deepest secret.]

【who? 】

【…】

Chu Jiuyue was met with a suffocating silence from the system, Xiao Ba, making it hard for her not to suspect that the system was hiding something from her.

Not to mention Chu Jiuyue, even Mo Wenchen, upon hearing their conversation, suddenly realized that something was amiss.

[Mo Wenchen's mother?]

Although Chu Jiuyue's question was soft, it was as resounding as a great bell, and her tone was firm and unwavering, as if she were declaring her determination to the world.

This frightened the system so much that it fled like a startled bird, and even Mo Wenchen was stunned, standing there frozen like a clay sculpture.
