LOT – Chapter 213 The Fu Couple Divorce

Once everything had been thoroughly investigated, the Xie family immediately stormed over.

That young lady from the Xie family even went straight to her uncle’s house and blocked the entrance.

Lin Mo had been happily roasting a chicken when she suddenly heard the news. She abandoned the chicken without hesitation and sprinted off to watch the drama.

Lin Qi, who was helping pluck the chicken for her: “…”

Seriously? You could at least say something before running! Dragging me out of my study to pluck your chicken, and then you pat your backside and dash off for gossip—what am I supposed to do now?

Staring at the messy chicken feathers on his hands, Lin Qi sighed helplessly.

This little sister… fortunately, he was already used to this after so many years.

Still, this kind of drama was rare. Maybe he should go take a look too? Lin Qi thought as he lifted his legs to follow—not for the drama, of course, but because he was worried she’d get caught in the chaos.

Lin Mo sprinted the entire way. Whenever there was gossip involved, her potential would multiply infinitely.

Bai Xiao, hidden in her sleeve, kept cheering her on. 【Hurry, hurry! Run faster! That Xie girl already grabbed her aunt’s hair! I must say, this girl is impressively fierce—wonderful temperament! Amazing!】

By the time Lin Mo reached the scene, she was out of breath and her legs were trembling.

Today, the Xie girl wore an elegant light-blue outfit that made her look gentle and refined… but her punches were anything but gentle.

“I treated you like my aunt, and you actually dared to harm me?! You let an illegitimate child pretend to be a legitimate son to meet me? Is your brother’s family human and my family isn’t?!”

At this point she no longer cared about seniority. Unless she vented this anger, she would suffocate.

This was her lifelong matter! If she hadn’t consulted little Lord Lin, her whole life would’ve been ruined!

Her mother was soft-hearted and always trusted their relatives, never realizing those relatives put on one face in front of them and another behind their backs—using the Xie family’s status while constantly gossiping behind them.

Lin Mo hid in a small corner, watching with great enthusiasm. The surrounding commoners filled the place completely, forming a watertight crowd.

The people the Xie girl brought along explained the whole sequence of events to the spectators to prevent misunderstandings that might damage her reputation.

Her uncle looked utterly grim seeing his wife being beaten.

“How dare you! Treating your elders like this—how were you raised?! She is your aunt!”

Hearing her uncle’s words, the Xie girl slapped her wretched aunt again.

“Uncle, I call you uncle because I still treat you as an elder. Do you even know what your wife has done? What your Fu family did isn’t something normal people would do!”

“In the eyes of outsiders, the Fu family only has one son, right? But actually, your wife’s younger brother has three sons—the eldest and youngest both born of mistresses. They tricked me! I was supposed to meet the legitimate son, but ended up meeting the eldest bastard! What is my status, and what is his status?!”

“Even if he were poor or low-born, I wouldn’t make a fuss—but he must at least be of clear background with proper parentage! And look at the kind of person her brother is!”

The Fu aunt was slapped until she was in pain. She claimed she only wanted to connect two families through marriage and hadn’t considered so much.

Her brother liked the woman outside, so she thought she would introduce the illegitimate son to her niece.

The more the uncle listened, the darker his expression became. The Xie girl, afraid he would continue to defend his wife, immediately ordered her people to recount all the recent investigations in full.

Lin Mo watched gleefully from the side. 【This Xie girl’s temper really suits my taste. Who cares about seniority—some ‘elders’ deserve a beating!】

【I treat you like an elder only if you act like one. If you behave like trash, then you don’t deserve the title.】

Bai Xiao, not being human, didn’t fully understand human etiquette—he simply judged by right and wrong. And what that aunt did was wrong, plain and simple.

The Fu household was complete chaos. The official wife had always believed her husband to be clean and loyal, grateful she had married a good man.

But she never expected him to have a mistress outside—and that the mistress’s child was even older than her own.

Worse, that illegitimate child even used her son’s name to meet marriage candidates! That was simply intolerable!

“Report to the authorities! Someone go report to the authorities!”

The lady was shaking with rage. She had been deceived for more than ten years!

Fu Hua comforted his mother and immediately went to file the report. He held no affection for this father.

Since the current dynasty didn’t implicate families, even if the father committed crimes, the son could still take the imperial exams and become an official—though background checks would be stricter. He wasn’t afraid of that.

And he had no desire to keep the surname Fu. If his mother wanted to divorce his father, he would go with her without hesitation. He wanted nothing to do with this filthy family.

Master Fu regretted everything. He tried to stop his son, but how could he stop a strong young man?

The Xie family had thoroughly investigated all the Fu family’s shady affairs. They bullied the Xie girl and still expected to get away clean? Dream on!

The capital was lively today. Lin Mo even bought snacks at a nearby stall while watching the commotion.

The Xie girl turned her head and immediately saw a beaming Lin Mo, who even waved happily at her.

Xie girl: “…” Of course little Lord Lin would be here. Even if it rained or thundered, she would still show up for drama.

【Tsk tsk tsk, wonderful! That’s what you get for tricking a young lady—serves you right!】

The Fu aunt was dumbfounded. She only wanted to help her nephew secure a good marriage. How did things end up like this?

Her brother and sister-in-law were divorcing. Her second nephew wanted to leave with his mother and abandon the Fu surname. The eldest and youngest nephews—both illegitimate—were disgraceful and couldn’t be presented publicly. If the second boy left, their Fu family would be finished!

Her husband looked at her with irritation. He had originally thought she meant well by trying to tie their families together, but it turned out she was just trying to support her brother’s household.

And she even schemed on his elder sister’s family!

He had been more than generous to the Fu family over the years.

“Madam, this matter is indeed your fault. From now on, stop dealing with your brother’s family. If you continue doing these things, even I won’t be able to protect you.”
