The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 1246 - 285: Grand Finale Part 1_12

Some argued it was The God’s wrath, even the heavens couldn’t bear to watch, sending a warning to Xie Yi. The child she carried was illegitimate, not Mo Heng’s at all! With malicious intent, she went to Tiance Mansion to harm Pei Qin and seize the title; it was time for the Sky Thunder to strike her down!

The two sides clashed and argued back and forth, round after round. freёnovelkiss.com

Meanwhile, a beautiful woman, leading a four-year-old boy, knocked on the Mo family’s gate, claiming the boy was Mo Dun’s son and she had come to acknowledge their ancestors and return to the clan!

The sudden appearance of an estranged son of Mo Dun instantly drew public attention.

Su Chanjun gave birth to two daughters but no sons. However, she did have a son, born to a concubine, who was raised under her name. That concubine mother had long since passed away.

Mo Dun, handsome and elegant, had matured beyond his prime, embodying the grace and composure that came with age, a gentleman with easy dignity. In his youth, he was famously known in Bei Zhili as a genius and handsome man. His union with the eldest daughter of the Zhen family, an unparalleled beauty, was much celebrated at the time.

After Lady Zhen passed away, he wed Su Chanjun, the talented woman from the Su family. An official in the Ministry of Justice, the position of a minor court order, he had recently made his way into the cabinet while still young. Save for the stain on his life when he expelled his eldest son, Mo Heng, from the family, one could nearly say his life had been dignified, elegant, and smooth sailing!

Suddenly, an illegitimate child emerges and seeks recognition. How could it not draw the crowd’s gaze?

Such gossip became the talk of the town, a topic to chew over with tea or during meals.

Busybodies even gathered outside the Mo family’s door, curious to see how they would handle the situation.

Upon returning from the Ministry of Justice, Mo Dun found himself blocked at the gate. Seeing the people who had come to claim kinship, his expression changed.

"Sir Mo! All well, I trust?" The woman asked with teary eyes and a smile, then squatting down, embracing her son, she introduced him, "Zonger! That is your father!"

The little boy looked timidly at Mo Dun, "Father! Why don’t you want me and mother?"

Mo Dun’s attendant immediately reprimanded, "Silence, child! Don’t speak nonsense! Don’t falsely claim a father! The Elder Statesman doesn’t know you!"

The little boy burst into tears, "I am father’s son! I want to prove it with a blood test! I want a blood test!"

Mo Dun’s face underwent another change. A blood test? Is this how they begin to retaliate against him?

The woman knelt down abruptly, "Sir Mo! I seek no status, only that you recognize your son! Don’t leave him to be an outcast, called a bastard child any longer!"

Such romantic indiscretions were nothing but tales of flirtation in Mo Dun’s younger days. Yet, having been so dignified and proper for all these years with such a high external image, the sudden appearance of an illegitimate child was a fall from grace.

To accept would mean just another illegitimate child, another mistress. Such a matter would quickly be subdued. Who doesn’t have a secret or two?

Mo Dun, looking at the kneeling mother and son, merely frowned slightly, "Since you’ve come here, let’s discuss this inside the house!"

The woman, leading her child, followed him into the house.

The crowd that had waited for so long for a spectacle saw nothing exciting happen all day.

The next day, it was heard that Mo Dun took a concubine and recognized the illegitimate child.

Then, another woman came with a three-year-old boy to acknowledge their kin. He, too, was claimed to be Mo Dun’s son.

The spectating public started to wonder just how many mistresses Mo Dun had, and how many illegitimate children he had fathered!

Soon after, two more women arrived, leading a son and a daughter each, claiming to seek familial recognition, asserting the children were Mo Dun’s own, willing to undergo a blood test.

One illegitimate child was enough, but they came one after another. Mo Dun was not of a licentious nature; how could so many illegitimate sons and daughters suddenly appear on his doorstep?

People immediately surmised that someone was deliberately targeting Mo Dun, having offended someone!

Everyone’s suspicions unconsciously turned towards Mo Heng, who had been cast out from the family. It was said he had even gone blind, living a miserable life, until rescued by Pei Qin. Hence, he was the most likely to seek revenge on Mo Dun.

But those who came with children to claim kin all had various connections to Mo Dun, stood their ground without fear, and were fully prepared for a blood test, all confirming to be Mo Dun’s kin.

Mo Er looked on with knitted brows and a somber expression, "What’s the real story with those children?"

Mo Dun was without guilt, "They are not mine."

Mo Er’s frown deepened.

"Big brother! Let’s separate our households," Mo Dun sighed. If Mo Heng was using this tactic to retaliate, he feared the worst was yet to come.

Mo Er, seeing the truth, with his mother and son still in prison, thought deeply and then stated sharply to Mo Dun, "Recognize Mo Heng back into the Mo family! No matter the reason he was expelled before, bring him back to the Mo family now!"
