"You want me to follow Mo Qiang's plan?" Mo Li looked at Mo Xifeng, who came to look for her in the middle of the night. She was planning on sending her daughters to another academy but before she could decide which academy she wanted to send her daughters to, Mo Xifeng came to look for her.
She raised her head and stopped rubbing her forehead before saying to Mo Xifeng, "Do you even understand what you are saying? If we wait for Mo Qiang, then Mo Wan and Mo Qi will lose their precious time. This is their only chance to get admitted into another academy."
"Even if you send them to another academy, do you think that they would be able to get the same resources? It will be a waste of their time anyway," responded Mo Xifeng. She stared at her aunt and stated with a determined expression, "The resources that they can receive at their current academy, I don't think that they will be able to get these resources in their next academy. Don't forget Aunt. This academy is the only one that is supported by the royal family."
Mo Li hesitated when she heard Mo Xifeng's words. Indeed, if this academy was not supported by the royal academy, then she wouldn't have wasted so much time and effort to make sure that Mo Wan could continue studying in this academy.
But she didn't want her daughters to be bullied! If she had known that such a thing would happen, she would have accepted the position of headmistress when she was offered. Back then, Mo Li was worried that if she dared to take the position of the headmistress, she would attract more attention to the Mo family, as Mo Yan was exiled just a few weeks ago.
Thus, she refused without thinking.
If only she had known that her daughters would be bullied in such a way, she would have taken over the position. At the same time, her eyes flashed, and a sudden thought came to her mind. Back then she and Madam Du were fighting for the same resources, and she was more popular than Madam Du.
If not for the fact that her sister was suddenly schemed against and exiled, Mo Li would have been the one to become the headmistress. She was sure that Headmistress Du still remembered it. This might be the reason why she allowed her daughters to be bullied without even trying to help them and show them the slightest consideration.
Childish! And pathetic!
"And you think that Wan Wan and Qi'er will be able to continue studying in this academy if I listen to Qi Qi?" Mo Li knew that her niece had changed but she still hesitated. What if Mo Qiang was planning to harm her daughters? She still hadn't forgotten how Mo Qiang looked at her when she begged Mo Yan to let go of her daughters.
It was the kind of gaze that turned her blood cold. Like a viper waiting to strike.
"I know that it is hard to believe but Aunt Li, do you have any other choice?" Mo Xifeng questioned with a sombre expression. "As long as you listened to my sister, you will at least have a chance to reclaim what you lost."
"But—"
"Aunt, even if you cannot trust my sister, then you might as well trust me. Or is it that you cannot accept me either? Back in the Yu Dimension, my sister was insulted far worse than Wan Wan had done, and she still saved the lives of those who were in danger. She even put her life at risk to save the lives of others. Do you think that someone who was willing to die for others would do such a thing as taking revenge for something that happened ages ago?"
