The Supporting Actress Made A Comeback-Chapter 981 - 985: Mandated by Heaven

Then, they heard this heartless woman say, "Dream on. Someone, dislocate his jaw for me. Does he think he can just kill himself here as if there’s no one watching?"

The death soldier’s heart sank.

From the shadows, someone stepped forward to follow the order. The next thing the death soldier knew, his jaw made a cracking sound, followed by searing pain.

"Ah..."

The death soldier couldn’t even scream properly.

If the earlier pain was but humiliation, now he truly found himself stuck between life and death.

Mo Shu saw his condition and surprisingly smiled, saying, "Zhao Mei, continue. Isn’t he tough? Let’s see how tough he really is."

Tears streamed down the death soldier’s face. He struggled and managed to utter two words painfully, "I... confess..."

...

The person she sent out was captured by Mo Shu.

Mo Qing was furious when she received this news.

But fortunately, she had achieved her objective. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Mo Shu’s reputation was now beyond redemption. The common people all knew that Eldest Princess Mo Shu was shameless, not only engaging in scandalous acts but also giving birth to a bastard. Such behavior utterly disgraced the imperial family.

How could someone like that deserve respect? How could she continue to be the divine Eldest Princess in the people’s eyes?

For many years, the Mo Yan Dynasty had enjoyed prosperity and peace.

But when people are idle, they tend to stir up trouble.

Especially since everyone was quite ordinary, they became increasingly intrigued by scandals involving the nobility and the royal family. Soon, they were all eager to spread this gossip as far and wide as possible.

Not only did they spread it, but they particularly enjoyed adding their own commentary and judgment, as if by trampling on Mo Shu, they themselves could become the respected Eldest Princess.

Mo Qing was very satisfied with this outcome.

As for that death soldier, she had never expected him to return when she sent him out.

If he died, so be it. He was just a death soldier.

What was reassuring was that such a death soldier would never betray her even in death.

But Mo Qing hadn’t had peace for a few days before another story began circulating among the people.

Some destitute scholar from who knows where had written a few storybooks, and suddenly they were a hit under every tea house and bridge.

In this era, aside from eating, sleeping, and working, the most common pastime was chatting with each other.

Those who were slightly better off could go to tea houses to listen to storytelling.

The most popular storybook lately was related to the burning scandal of the imperial family.

However, contrary to the previous scandal involving the Eldest Princess, this story praised her to the skies.

The story went like this:

Twenty-one years ago, the Mo Yan Dynasty faced famine and flooding, leaving the people in deep distress, and the imperial family and officials were at a loss, with countless losses nationwide.

One day, while the Crown Prince was on a military expedition, he encountered a fairy.

The Crown Prince, who would become the Emperor, fell in love with this fairy at first sight and vowed to make her his wife.

A well-known master of the time prophesied: "This woman’s destiny is one of unimaginable nobility, she is the Heavenly Chosen Divine Mother!"

Indeed, on the day of the Eldest Princess’s mother’s wedding into the royal family, the entire nation celebrated. Even the two-month-long heavy rains began to show signs of clearing.

On that day, the rain stopped, and ever since then, the Moyan Country has enjoyed peace and prosperity.
