Chapter 455: 129: The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind! _5
Xiaozhou, after all, is a detective, and he has a clear understanding of these matters.
Ordinary people can’t afford a detective. To do business with the rich, he naturally has to familiarize himself with the details of every high-ranking official and nobleman in Sijiu City.
Ni Yan was surprised to hear that Zheng Xianjing is not the biological granddaughter of Old Madam Zheng.

The Mo family exploded at the news of Li Xianxian’s pregnancy.
In theory, it should be a joyous occasion for Mo Baichuan, who’s already in his prime, to have a child.
After all, Old Master Mo and Old Madam Mo are hoping to hold their great-grandchild.
However, the problem lies in the fact that the woman got pregnant before marriage, and that woman happens to be Li Xianxian.
In the past, the Mo family was quite satisfied with Li Xianxian as a potential daughter-in-law, but lately, her behavior has been a disappointment to them!
Additionally, Mo Baichuan’s parents aren’t fond of Li Xianxian.
Now that the deed has been done, the Mo family, being the traditional one it is, deeming their reputation and discipline highly, they can’t possibly leave the pregnant Li Xianxian unattended nor could they ever do anything that would risk a life.
Mo Rongping and Xiu Jiao rushed to Beijing overnight.
Mo Rongping was always a compassionate father, but he looked somewhat unhappy that day. In front of the entire Mo family, he made Mo Baichuan kneel.
Mo Baichuan knelt down on the spot.
Mo Rongping cried out in anger, “Mo Baichuan, I’ve taught you since you were young that a man should stand tall and be responsible. But look at what you’ve done? You’ve completely disgraced the Mo family!”
Mo Baichuan kept his back straight. “Dad, I know I was wrong! I will take responsibility for Li Xianxian.”
“Where are the family rules! Bring them here!”
The butler immediately brought a whip.
The older generation of the Mo family were all veterans, and they wouldn’t hold back when it comes to discipline.
With one whip, Mo Baichuan’s back tore open with blood pouring out.
Mo Rongping was not the least bit distressed, and dealt three vicious blows.
Although Old Madame Mo and Old Master Mo pitied him, they could not intervene.
The atmosphere in the living room was extremely oppressive, and everyone’s faces were tense.
Everyone was worried for Mo Baichuan, only Mo Qishen seemed relaxed.
He lounged on the couch, eating sweet grapes, and watched the spectacle unfold almost like a spectacle.
He thought to himself, this nephew of his was bound to be killed by his own stupidity one day.
As Mo Rongping went to deliver the fourth blow, Xiu Jiao grabbed the whip, “What’s done is done, hitting him now won’t help anything.”
Old Madam Mo chimed in, “Xiao Jiao is right, Rongping, even if you beat Baichuan to death now, it wouldn’t change the situation. We should discuss when to hold the wedding. Regardless, the child in Xianxian’s belly is the first heir of our Mo family.”
In wealthy households like theirs, the first child always holds significant meaning.
Mo Rongping sighed deeply, dropped the whip at hand, and continued, “How can we decide this matter unilaterally? We should invite the girl’s parents to discuss together.”
Mo Rongping was not the type of person who disregarded proper etiquette.
Old Madam Mo added, “You don’t have to worry about that. Xianxian is an orphan without any family. Let Baichuan bring Xianxian here tomorrow.”
Mo Rongping nodded, “That should be fine.”
Xiu Jiao said, “Now that she’s pregnant, we cannot delay the wedding. The sooner the better, otherwise when she starts to show, others will laugh at our Mo family for lacking discipline and decorum.”
Originally, Xiu Jiao didn’t like Li Xianxian.
She thought Li Xianxian was too vain and not a good match for Mo Baichuan.
But now, even if she was dissatisfied, she had no choice but to accept it.
The next day.
Mo Baichuan brought Li Xianxian home to meet his parents.
This time, Li Xianxian behaved very well and did not use her pregnancy as an excuse to be difficult, which changed Mo Baichuan’s parents’ impression of her.
Moreover, Li Xianxian is a poor child with no parents.
Xiu Jiao held Li Xianxian’s hand and said, “Xianxian, the first three months of pregnancy are the most critical. You must take care of your health, avoid catching a cold or taking medications, avoid getting angry, maintain a happy mood, and also be careful with your diet. You cannot have hawthorn, spinach, strong tea, or coffee.”
Li Xianxian doesn’t have a mother, so these things must be taught by her mother-in-law.
Li Xianxian nodded obediently, “Okay, Auntie, I’ll keep that in mind.”
Xiu Jiao was fairly satisfied with her future daughter-in-law. She continued, “Now that you’re carrying a child, it’s not appropriate for you to stay in a dormitory. I have a small villa on Hully Mile Road, where you can stay temporarily during this time.”
