Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 148 - 148 Trembling with Rage
Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Trembling with Rage Chapter 148 -148: Trembling with Rage Upon hearing this, Auntie Sun immediately suspected that Xuexue had stolen her silver jewelry. No wonder Butcher Yu, that dead ghost, despite her efforts in bed, refused to admit he had taken her money. It turned out this little cheap person had stolen it, and she couldn’t help but secretly despise her.
Just then, Old Lady Mo, holding an account book and cursing under her breath, came over.
Determined, Auntie Sun declared that all her money had been stolen by Madam Xie. If Old Lady Mo wanted the silver, she should ask Madam Xie for it. Thinking that Xuexue was cunning and hard to control, unlike Madam Xie, who was weak in character and particularly afraid of the old hag, Auntie Sun figured intimidating her might just make her confess everything.
Since Big Bull had thrown Butcher Yu into the fish pond over two hundred meters away a few days earlier, he had become the hero of Mo Family Village, and even Old Lady Mo didn’t dare to cause trouble at the old residence alone.
Thus, early in the morning, without even stopping for breakfast, they roused all of the Mo family, young and old, and with a great number of people, they boldly marched toward the old residence.
“You shameless Seductress Fox, I don’t know where you found that wild man, almost ruining Xuexue’s innocence, and now you falsely accuse us of stealing your silver? How black is your heart?” Madam Xie, usually not one for words, surprisingly strung together quite a few out of anger.
“Madam Xie, you stinking witch, you still argue? If you didn’t steal our silver, where did you get so much silver to buy New Year goods?”
Old Lady Mo was furious, and as she looked up, she spotted a large plate of steaming pork on the stove, which fueled her rage even further. She raised her hand and fiercely slapped Madam Xie, cursing, “I, an old woman, have no meat to eat, yet you lowly creatures dare to? Do you really want to revolt?”
In the Mo residence, she was the authority. Except for her, the women had no meat to eat unless it was a holiday. Now, just after they had disowned Madam Xie, she was indulging in meat, and Old Lady Mo was furious.
Perhaps knowing that dodging was useless, Madam Xie resignedly closed her eyes, prepared to endure a beating from Old Lady Mo, something she had grown accustomed to over the past decade.
The Mo family, including Mo Xiaoqiang, watched silently as if it were a show, all thinking that with Madam Xie’s weak character, after being brutally beaten by Old Lady Mo, she would surely kneel and beg for mercy, then obediently hand over the silver and New Year goods to them.

Everyone was cheerful at the thought, and Madam Ruan even chuckled discreetly, her gaze occasionally darting to the plate of pork on the stove, uncontrollably salivating, planning to take it home later for a feast.
As the slap was about to land on Madam Xie’s face, Old Lady Mo smiled triumphantly. This clutchless old hen thought that being disowned by the Mo family meant she was beyond reach. Dream on! She loved to hit whenever she pleased, without error.
At this critical moment, suddenly, a figure swiftly darted in; everyone had yet to react to what was happening, when Old Lady Mo’s wrist was already tightly gripped.
Just as the slap was going to reach Madam Xie, Old Lady Mo suddenly felt an excruciating pain in her wrist, and couldn’t help but scream like a slaughtered pig: “Ah…! It hurts, it’s killing me.”
“Grandmother, so you know pain too?” A chilling voice rang out.
Everyone looked up and saw that it was Xuexue.
“Xuexue, you dead girl, she’s your grandmother, let her go at once.” Seeing his mother in pain and screaming, Mo Xiaoqiang hurriedly stepped forward to intervene.
“Who are you?” Xuexue glanced at him with a sneer on her face.
“Xuexue, have you gone mad? Can’t you recognize your own father?”
“Father?” Xuexue scoffed: “Since ancient times, I’ve never heard of a father who would let another man ruin his daughter’s reputation. Saying it out loud is simply laughable.”
Mo Xiaoqiang flushed and was speechless:
By now, he had already been the subject of much laughter.
“Such an enormous disrespect, this is too much!” Old Master Mo pointed at Xuexue with a trembling hand, his facial hair quivering with anger.
