Crossing Over to Yamada Love

Mo Lan frowned slightly, puzzled, and said, "Why do you call yourself a slave? Isn't it only when you've sold yourself into servitude that you call yourself a slave to your master? I'm from an honest farming family, how can I call myself a slave!"

"You're from a farming family? Isn't this shop owned by the Xue family? My lady is the seventh wife of the Xue family, and you're just a servant of the Xue family. You should kowtow and apologize to the lady!" The maidservant spoke arrogantly, introducing the lady's identity, and then raised her head, waiting for Mo Lan to kneel down.

The Xue family's wife? The seventh wife? What brings her here? And for whom?

Is it Xue Lingfeng or Xue Lingyun? The chubby boy has already gone to Beijing, so it shouldn't be him.

"Greetings, Madam Xue Qi. I apologize for not being able to greet you from afar." Mo Lan only said this one sentence and did not kneel down.

She smiled at the maid and said softly, "This shop doesn't belong to the Xue family, and I'm not a servant of the Xue family, so I can't call myself a slave."

"You!" The maid blushed with anger at Mo Lan and pointed at her, saying, "Isn't this the shop that Fifth Master owns? He chose your shop to run it. Our mistress is Fifth Master's aunt, and also your mistress."

“Young lady, you must be mistaken. This shop doesn’t belong to Fifth Master. It’s my family’s. Fifth Master just eats here often. This shop has nothing to do with the Xue family. Please don’t speak nonsense.” Mo Lan spoke neither arrogantly nor humbly.

"Hehe, little girl, you've got some nerve, daring to steal from the Xue family's property. This shop belongs to the Xue family, and I'm taking it back today. Your whole family are servants of the Xue family. It's wrong of Fifth Brother to be reluctant to let you sign indentures. How can servants not sign indentures? I've already written the indentures and brought them with me. Little girl, sign them in a bit."

Madam Xue Qi gave a cold laugh. Speaking to Mo Lan, she appeared superior and brooked no argument. In Shangchang Town, the Xue family was the law; she, the seventh madam of the Xue family, could do whatever she wanted to this girl. Having signed the contract of indenture, whether she married her off to a servant or sold her into a brothel, she had no power to resist.

"Madam is joking. Our family are law-abiding citizens, and I imagine you don't need a few more servants. As for the contract, it's fine not to sign it." Mo Lan's eyes narrowed. This person was trying to ruin her family. She wondered who this person was doing it for. She realized she knew too little about the Xue family and hadn't asked about their members. Now that she didn't understand them, she had become so passive.

"Heh, servants! I can have as many as I want. But, well, I really do need more servants like you. I advise you to sign it, girl. It'll save me the trouble." Madam Xue glanced at Mo Lan, her eyes full of mockery. Everything was under her control; she wasn't worried that the girl wouldn't comply.

"Oh? If you don't sign, what will you do, Madam?" Mo Lan asked back.

"I think being a servant is better than being a prisoner, right? If you won't be a servant of the Xue family, then you can be in jail. Little girl, think it over carefully, and don't make the wrong choice." Madam Xue Qi's smile was gentle at this moment, but Mo Lan felt cold.

She wants to send her own family to jail? It's not impossible! She has plenty of servants; she can easily sacrifice one of them to frame her family.

If her servants died at the Mo family shop, her family would be unable to defend themselves. The Xue family was powerful, and they couldn't afford to fight them. If they really went to jail, their family members would probably be tortured to death. Farmers who want a carefree and happy life, without power or influence, it's difficult!

Servants are people we wouldn't do ourselves. Not only are servants of low social status, but their lives are also not in our own hands. If she were to find a pretext to harm our own family, we wouldn't be able to complain. Absolutely not!

Who is she doing this for? Judging from her words, she's not Xue Lingfeng and Xue Lingyun's mother. The only men from the Xue family I've had contact with are the three brothers. Could she be the little fat boy's mother? But the little fat boy has already gone to the capital, and they've lost contact. Why is she trying to take action against her own family?

Xue Lingfeng, where are you? You didn't come to the shop at noon, so it seems you had something to do today. Now it's afternoon, so you're even less likely to come. How should we resolve this?

"Little girl, have you made up your mind?" Madam Xue took a sip of tea. To be honest, the tea tasted pretty good.

“I’ve thought it through. I appreciate your kindness, Madam, but unfortunately, we country folk don’t know the proper etiquette and are afraid we can’t enter such a wealthy place as the Xue family. Madam, please find someone else.” Although Mo Lan was thinking a thousand things, she didn’t show it on her face.

"Well, your composure is quite impressive. No wonder you can bewitch my son. What a pity, what a pity, what a waste of such good looks." Madam Xue sighed twice.

After sighing, her eyes changed, and she said sternly, "Qiushuang, slap her face until it's smeared, and make her put her fingerprint on this contract. If she doesn't, beat her until she does."

The maid named Qiushuang said in a crisp voice, "Madam, just you wait and see."

After saying that, she walked towards Mo Lan with a sinister smile on her face. She had long fingernails and was determined to scratch the girl's face until she turned her into an ugly monster, and see if she could still seduce men.

Mo Lan stepped back. A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. She couldn't stay here and be slaughtered. She had to run away first.

She ran towards the door, but then she turned back. Two burly men were guarding the door, preventing her from leaving. It seemed this was all premeditated.

"Help!" Mo Lan screamed. There were only two burly men at the door, but she had plenty of men in her house who could handle them, and that would allow her to escape. She would deal with everything else once she was out of there.

"Little girl, don't waste your energy. The two guards at the door are just to keep you from leaving. The other six are there to deal with your family. I've heard your family is quite barbaric, so I brought a lot of people just in case. You'd better stay here and accept my reward. Or you could kneel down and kowtow to me a hundred times, and maybe I'll soften my heart and let you off the hook." Madam Xue Qi said leisurely.

“What you say is true, Madam. A hundred kowtows is quite a lot. How about Madam kowtows a hundred times for me, and I’ll consider signing this contract of servitude?” Mo Lan had no more nice words at this moment. Since the other party had already made their attitude clear, that they didn’t want her family to be well, why should she give in?

"How dare you! I'll show you what happens when you just want to have some fun. Qiu Shuang, hurry up and make your move." Madam Xue Qi's eyebrows twitched, and her face darkened.

Mo Lan watched as Qiu Shuang approached and slowly retreated, while a fight broke out outside.

Hearing Mo Lan's cries, Mo Changhe and the others knew their daughter must have encountered trouble. They rushed over, but were stopped by several burly men; reasoning with them was futile. Anxious to comfort Mo Lan, they started fighting.

Mo Lan dodged Qiu Shuang's slaps, occasionally kicking her a few times. If there was only one person, she wasn't afraid. She was skilled in fighting; although younger than her opponent, her years of working in the mountains and doing manual labor gave her much better stamina. The problem was that there were three people inside and two more men outside. If they all started fighting, she was afraid she would really be at a disadvantage.

Qiu Shuang's eyes were already red with anger. Not only did she fail to hit the little girl, but she was also kicked several times, her hair was pulled a few times, and her scalp hurt. Her calves were also kicked and hurt.

"Useless thing! Madam Xu, you go up too." Madam Xue was annoyed that the maid was useless, so she sent her old nanny up to help.

Seeing that there was another person, Mo Lan started using whatever was available in the house. In no time, the house was in complete chaos; chairs and washstands were all overturned.

"Shunfeng, Shunfa, what are you standing there for? Go and take this girl down!" Madam Xue Qi was furious. The two of them couldn't even take down a little girl. They were utterly useless.

Hearing her shouts, a burly man entered. He bowed to Madam Xue and said, "Those Mo family members are too powerful. Six of them couldn't hold them off, and Shunfa went up to help. I'll take down this little girl now." After saying that, he joined the battle.

Mo Lan couldn't move around inside the house and was caught by Shun Feng. No matter how agile she was, she couldn't escape three people.

"You brat, just you wait, I'll beat your face to a pulp." Qiu Shuang had suffered a lot, and hatred welled up in her eyes. She raised her hand to slap Mo Lan.

"Stop!" A furious shout rang out, startling Qiu Shuang.

While they were all distracted, Mo Lan bit Shun Feng's hand with all her might. Shun Feng felt the pain and instinctively let go of her hands. Mo Lan then used her elbow to slam into his groin.

At that moment, she didn't care how unsuitable this place was for a woman to attack; she only knew that this was where men were most vulnerable and in the most pain. Unable to kick, she could only ram into him.

Shunfeng was hit hard by her elbow, and the pain instantly spread throughout his body. He bent over, clutching his crotch and convulsing. He wanted to jump, but with his wife there, he didn't dare.

The person who shouted angrily rushed into the private room; the newcomer was none other than Xue Lingfeng, whose face was cold and sinister.

Seeing that Mo Lan was alright, he breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Xue Lingfeng had gone out on business that morning and hadn't come to oversee the construction at the villa. When he finished his business and rushed back, he heard from his servant that Seventh Aunt had brought people to the Mo family's shop. He hurriedly prepared his horse and rushed over without even taking a carriage, fearing that Seventh Aunt might do something to the Mo family.

He heard the fighting before even entering the shop. Looking at the group of people fighting, he didn't see Lanlan. Peering through the door of the private room, he saw that Lanlan had been grabbed and was about to be slapped. Enraged, he shouted and rushed in.

Before he could even make a move, the girl took matters into her own hands and struck him in the same spot. Seeing Shunfeng's face contort in pain, Xue Lingfeng felt his body twitch.

Although the Mo family had stopped fighting, the men were still blocking them from getting close to the private room. The madam had given orders that they could disobey anything except her commands. Since the madam had instructed them not to let the Mo family near the private room, they were determined to prevent them from doing so.

Looking out from the private room, Mo Lan saw that her family members were all injured. Whether it was her grandparents, parents, or uncle, their faces were bruised and purple. Many had bloodstains at the corners of their mouths. Seeing her father's unsteady gait and the bloodstains on her sister Mo Mei's mouth, Mo Lan's eyes reddened.
