Ever since important young men from major aristocratic families came to visit Mo Qingwu, Mo Qingwu's life has become easier.
But Mo Qingwu's father, Mo Xingchen, found that his little daughter was becoming more and more taciturn. She stayed in his small yard every day, except for practicing kung fu, and just holding the scabbard in a daze.
.
Her character has changed from lively and cute to calm and reserved. She seems to have many things on her mind at such a young age. She will no longer hug her neck and call her father sweetly, nor will she smile sweetly when she sees someone.
little face.
Occasionally when she meets a member of the family, she just looks at them expressionlessly and then walks over calmly.
A little girl who is only a few months away from turning eleven years old has this kind of sad calmness like an autistic girl in her twenties who has suffered a major blow. When people see it, they feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts.
During the time when her knife was just taken away, when her daughter saw her, she would still beg with tears in her eyes: Father, please give me my knife back...
But now, she no longer makes this request. It seems that the knife has never appeared in her life.
But Mo Xingchen knew that that knife actually left scars in his daughter's heart that would never be erased!
There was no longer hope in her eyes; there was no longer any prayer. Even the toys and jewelry that Mo Xingchen, her father, occasionally bought for her, could not arouse a trace of emotion in her eyes. She just said a routine: Thank you, father.
There is no more content.
And she had never worn those jewelry. She was just dressed in red. On her head, there was always just a monotonous butterfly of red cloud steel, spreading its wings. In her hand, there was always just a tattered knife.
sheath.
Only when she saw these two things, Mo Qingwu's eyes would show her sincere desire. She seemed to be expecting something, longing for something, but she would never say...
Mo Tianji has been working hard in the Canglan war zone, constantly asking people to bring back some weird and good things for his little sister, but Mo Qingwu didn't show any pretense at all. He just cleaned up an empty room and put these
Everything was sealed inside.
One time, someone who came back told Mo Qingwu that the second young master hoped that the young lady would write back a letter. Mo Qingwu said indifferently: The second brother has great ambitions and will not need my letter.
It is said that Mo Tianji almost collapsed after hearing these words! From then on, he became even more desperate... He was desperately trying to accumulate his own team, preparing to... take back the position of the first heir from Mo Tianyun in one fell swoop.
!Then, make proper arrangements for your sister!
Now he is only the second son, and he has no right to arrange such important matters! He knows that his sister is sad, but what he wants is long-lasting. A moment of happiness cannot cover up the gloom of a lifetime!
Only when she is with her mother, will Mo Qingwu reveal her true emotions from her eyes: unwillingness, nostalgia, resentment, helplessness for this family...
In her little heart, she clearly knew that the family had abandoned her! She was already an abandoned son of the family; and during this period of time, the family went from being indifferent to her to occasionally being greeted, all because of Ji Mo and Dong Wushang.
When these promising brothers came to visit me, the family discovered that there was still something worth investing in.
So I changed my attitude slightly.
But such a change in attitude is to strive for greater interests! Although Mo Qingwu is young, how could he not know that he grew up in a big family?
If these young masters show interest in me, I am afraid that the family will immediately arrange a marriage for themselves and contact an important ally!
Especially the Great Elder Mo Wuxin, it is said that he has this idea now, and has conveyed such a message to Ji Mo, Dong Wushang, Gu Duxing, Rui Butong and others in a subtle way. If several people had not refused because of their young age, I am afraid that now I
She has long been like 'someone's fiancée'.
"Miss, madam, please come over here." The maid came to report.
"Okay." Mo Qingwu stood up gently. She was already half a head taller than she was three days ago, but her body was slender and frail. She walked out slowly.
During this period of time, she kept practicing with greater efforts, but to no avail. Moreover, once the spiritual power reached her chest, she would feel pain and could not move freely. This made her even more desperate.
"Xiao Wu, you're here." Mrs. Mo looked at her little daughter with some heartache. She had always seen her daughter's changes during this period and felt pain in her heart; but she was helpless.
Although she is Mo Qingwu's biological mother, she is just a woman; in this big world where male supremacy is supreme and it is common for men to have three wives and four concubines, the status of women is very low. They have no regard for family affairs.
What right to speak!
She had no choice but to accept the family's decision.
"Mother, do you have anything to do with me?" Mo Qingwu's eyes flashed.
"Well, Xiao Wu, in one month, she will be eleven years old, right?" A trace of love flashed in Mrs. Mo's eyes.
"Yes. By the seventh day of July next month, I will be eleven years old." Mo Qingwu's heart suddenly started pounding, and an inexplicable fear enveloped her heart: Why did my mother ask me my age? Could it be?...
"Well, in the blink of an eye, my Xiao Wu has become a big girl." Mrs. Mo smiled sadly and said: "She is eleven years old...I think back then, when my mother was eleven...she had already married
Your father is engaged..."
"Ah?" Mo Qingwu took a step back and looked at Mrs. Mo in panic: "Mother...you?"
"During this period, the Mo family has been in turmoil..." Mrs. Mo sighed: "The quarrel between your eldest brother and your second brother has become more and more fierce, and the strength of the family has also been somewhat weakened. This is not a good thing for the entire family..."
"So, the Great Elder has been discussing with your father during this period to see if we can... find another strong and reliable ally for our Mo family..." Mrs. Mo said with some difficulty.
Mo Qingwu's face turned pale and her body was trembling as she looked at her mother.
"Therefore...I want to...make a marriage arrangement for you as soon as possible..." Mrs. Mo looked at her daughter helplessly: "At this moment, the Meng family came to propose marriage..."
"Mengjia?" Mo Qingwu muttered, her face pale, but a strong hatred flashed in her eyes.
"Yes, the Meng family. And the Meng family, this time also produced a stunning young master, who is now the eldest son of the Meng family, Meng Luo. Meng Luo is twenty-three years old this year, but he is one year younger than the Meng family.
Among his generation, he is already the undisputed number one master; he has even surpassed the throne level." The corners of Mrs. Mo's lips were bitter.
Meng Luo, yes, this Young Master Meng Luo has indeed reached the throne. In terms of strength, he can be considered outstanding among the younger generation of Zhong San Tian. Except for a limited number of people, he can be said to be
The pinnacle of the younger generation!
Such young talents are indeed the best son-in-law candidates for major families!
But... this Mr. Mengluo is already married. He also has a wife and concubines! Moreover, it was basically the Meng family who came forward to propose marriage, and in the end they all took advantage of him.
This is also a way for Mengluo to enhance the strength of the Meng family. He doesn't care about this woman's status in their family, nor does he care about her appearance and qualifications. He just wants to use this method to increase the influence of the Meng family.
force.
Therefore, when Meng Luo heard that the daughter of the Mo family, Mo Qingwu, had lost her qualifications for the Three Yin Meridians, she immediately wanted to propose marriage. However, Mo Qingwu was only nine and a half years old at that time, which was too much for people to talk about.
.
Now that she is eleven years old, she no longer has such worries. Generally speaking, the less mature daughters of major families basically get married at this age.
So Mengluo came to propose marriage as soon as possible.
For the Mo family, this is something they can only dream of. The Mo family is currently experiencing serious internal strife and needs such an ally.
"No matter who he is, I don't agree!" Mo Qingwu bit her lip: "Mother, my father once promised me that he would never force me! I don't want to become a marriage tool for the family!"
"But when your father promised you..." Mrs. Mo sighed helplessly and thought to herself, when your father promised you, you had the Three Yin Divine Veins. The future of a woman with the Three Yin Divine Veins is unlimited, so naturally she cannot
I married so hastily, but now you are gone...
"My family has always been very good to me. They have been very good to me since I was a child. It turned out that it was just for the sake of the Three Yin Meridians!" Mo Qingwu trembled her lips: "So when the Three Yin Meridians were destroyed, the family gave up! Ignore it and just treat it as if it were...
Raise a puppy...but, mother, even if you raise a puppy...sometimes you need to pet it and get close to it; but your daughter, after her three Yin meridians disappeared, no one paid attention to her?"
"Now, I want to use this useless daughter, my already crippled daughter's body and happiness, to exchange for an ally..." Mo Qingwu hissed: "Mother, am I your daughter? I am Mo
The flesh and blood of the family? Why is our Mo family so cold and heartless?"
"I knew that my fate would not be very satisfactory, but...even other families must consult their daughter's opinions when choosing a husband's family for their daughter or making a marriage arrangement for their daughter. Why did it happen to me?
Did you come and tell me directly?"
When Mrs. Mo comes forward, it means that the matter has been finalized. Mrs. Mo will do the final persuasion. Although Mo Qingwu is young, she knows this clearly.
"But... the great elder has already made the decision on this matter..." Mrs. Mo looked at her daughter helplessly: "Your father is also helpless."
"I'm afraid father is eager to agree to this, right?" Mo Qingwu said sadly, even a little sarcastically.
Mrs. Mo was speechless for a while, and suddenly she said with a trembling voice: "Xiao Wu... I can't help it... We are a family, a family..."
"This matter... I can't agree to it. If you want me to agree, unless I ask someone." Mo Qingwu wanted to say: Unless I die! But when she said this, she suddenly thought of a person, and there was a look in her eyes.
Suddenly a ray of light flashed out, and this ray of light was actually full of hope: "As long as he agrees, or he doesn't care about me, I will agree!"
Mrs. Mo sensitively felt the light and happiness in her daughter's eyes at this moment, as if it was her last reliance and hope, full of persistence; her heart tightened involuntarily, and she asked: "Who?!"
