Arriving at the door of the villa, Mo Jiaxue could not control the strange heat in her body, so she walked inside in a trance.
Just now, Mo Peilin insisted that she drank a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup before sleeping and gave her another bowl after she finished drinking one, telling her to change into a nightdress and bring the soup to Mo Jingshen.
Mo Jiaxue didn’t understand why. Until she felt the strange heat in her body, she didn’t understand what Mo Peilin meant.
Since Mo Jiaxue was a child, she had no idea of her own and always listened to her mother, but she had read some novels and watched movies. She guessed that Mo Peilin must have drugged her and the bowl of soup that she asked her to bring to Mo Jingshen must have this drug too.
Although Mo Jiaxue didn’t dare to drug Mo Jingshen, she couldn’t refuse now, let alone since she had a crush on Mo Jingshen since her childhood.
Entering the villa, Mo Jiaxue carefully carried the bowl upstairs, reached Mo Jingshen’s room, and knocked the door gently.
She knocked for a while, but no one answered.
Mo Jiaxue continued to knock the door. She remembered what her mother told her, ‘not to say anything before the door is opened because if Jingshen recognizes you from your voice, he won’t even open the door,’ so she didn’t speak. The heat in her body made her very uncomfortable, and her legs were weak, so she just leaned feebly against the door and kept knocking the door softly.
When the door was finally opened, Mo Jiaxue stepped back quickly, her face red, holding up the bowl carefully, looking shyly at the expressionless man inside the door…

The villa remained quiet for a long time, and nothing was heard.
Ji Nuan suspected from the start that Mo Peilin had drugged her own daughter, then made Mo Jiaxue put the drug into the night snack and had her send the drugged night snack over.
From their previous conversation, Ji Nuan could guess their plan. From Mo Jiaxue’s strange look and action, she could be sure that she had been drugged.
Sent a night snack at midnight? Mo Jingshen must have guessed their intentions. He was very wary of and disliked the mother and daughter. Without some tricks, Mo Jiaxue couldn’t even make him open the door.
But she sat at the window and watched for a long time, only to see that Mo Peilin was stealthily pacing back and forth downstairs, but Mo Jiaxue hadn’t come out of the villa, and then Mo Peilin smiled happily.
Ji Nuan gradually felt a bit strange.
That was impossible.
How could Mo Jingshen be fooled by this lousy trick?
She watched again and saw Mo Peilin had gone to the door of the villa, guarded the door, and seemed to stop other servants from interrupting them.
Ji Nuan paused and got out. She was about to go out but hesitated. Then she took her cell phone and called Uncle Ou, asking him to go check it, but Uncle Ou’s cell phone had been switched off. It was late, and he must have slept.
Ji Nuan could only hurry out. Reaching the door of the villa, she went straight in.
“Hey, what are you doing here?” Mo Peilin was guarding the door. Seeing Ji Nuan was about to intrude in, she rushed over and pushed Ji Nuan.
However, instead of pushing Ji Nuan away, Mo Peilin was pushed back a few steps by Ji Nuan. She could hardly keep her balance, stumbled, and glared at Ji Nuan. “Oh… how dare you pushed me? What are you doing here so late at night?”
Ji Nuan coldly stared at her. “I just got out of the opposite villa. Do you mean I can’t get into this villa?”
“Of course not! You’ve divorced Jingshen. Jingshen is living here. What do you want to do to get in so late at night?”
“Really?” There was a cold gleam in Ji Nuan’s beautiful eyes, which made Mo Peilin shiver, although it was summer.
“Then who can get in? Your daughter?” Ji Nuan smiled and went straight to the point.
“What are you talking about? My daughter? Jiaxue is sleeping in her room. I suddenly have something to talk to Jingshen, but I don’t know if he is sleeping now, so I stood there for a while. Ji Nuan, I warn you to mind your tongue in the Mo family. You’re no longer Jingshen’s wife, and no one is behind you. Just leave here tomorrow morning. Don’t poke your nose into others’ affairs!”
“Aunt, since you know it’s the Mo family, you should know what you can do and what you can’t. You should be grateful that Grandfather Mo let you stay in the Mo family. But if you still dare to mess around with Mo Jingshen, are you sure you can stand the consequences?” The smile on Ji Nuan’s face spread.
Mo Peilin sneered and said stubbornly, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about. After all, you’re no longer a member of the Mo family, you can’t wander around here. You’re not allowed to enter. Go away!”
Then she stood right in front of the door and raised her arms to stop Ji Nuan.
Ji Nuan looked coldly at her, glanced at the silent villa, and then looked up at the room upstairs. The lights were on, but she didn’t see anyone.
Mo Jiaxue had been in here so long. Ji Nuan hesitated.
Did she have to meddle in this affair?
What if Mo Jingshen actually liked it?
What if she actually disturbed the two of them if she got in?
Although Ji Nuan knew Mo Jingshen was not this kind of a man, she didn’t seem to be in a position to stop this.
Mo Peilin noticed Ji Nuan’s hesitation and immediately mocked, “Ji Nuan, look at yourself. Don’t you feel ashamed? The Mo family has nothing to do with you now. It’s just that Grandfather Mo misses you. He is just too soft-hearted, so he asked you to come over for dinner and stay overnight. You’ll be a stranger to the Mo family from tomorrow on! You’re no longer a member of the Mo family. You’d better know your place and behave yourself. Just mind your own business!”
Seeing Mo Peilin refuse to make way, Ji Nuan looked placid but was fretful in her heart.
She looked down at her watch.
Mo Jiaxue had been in for at least twenty minutes.
If Mo Jingshen wanted to drive her away, he would have done it earlier. She, an outsider, really shouldn’t be involved in this matter.
With this in mind, Ji Nuan didn’t say anymore and turned to leave with a cold look.
Mo Peilin triumphantly looked at her back. However, Ji Nuan suddenly stopped, jerked around, and looked at the small silver package Mo Peilin had been clutching in her hand, which looked familiar to Ji Nuan.
