Chapter 296 A Funny Method
Chapter 296 A Funny Method
Two days later—
The latest news has come from the Lou family.
In order not to implicate the marriages of their other children, the Lou family kicked Lou Tingting out of the family and declared that from now on, the Lou family and Lou Tingting would have no further relationship!
Lou Tingting was only carrying a bundle when she was driven out of the Lou mansion by the servants.
Lou Tingting turned around and looked at the gate of the Lou family mansion. Instantly, tears streamed down her face.
Lou Tingting stood there blankly outside the Lou residence, her eyes filled with anticipation that her family would come out and tell her that they didn't intend to kick her out of the Lou family, but were just trying to scare her. But... she waited for half an hour... and there was no movement from the Lou residence at all!
That is, at this moment—
The sound of the carriage axle turning could be heard.
A carriage stopped beside Lou Tingting.
Lou Tingting remained motionless, standing there, waiting and hoping...
A person stepped down from the carriage, stood beside Lou Tingting, and remained silent.
Lou Tingting turned her head and saw Xia Mo's profile. Her breath caught in her throat, and she subconsciously lowered her head, not daring to meet Xia Mo's gaze.
Xia Mo used his divine sense to see everything that had happened to Lou Tingting in the past two days.
Lou Tingting lowered her head in distress, and Xia Mo did not urge her.
"Second Brother, you drive the carriage aside and wait," Xia Mo said to Xia Erge, who was driving the carriage.
Brother Xia nodded: "Okay."
Lou Tingting's pupils trembled, a thought popped into her mind, but she forcefully suppressed it, and dared not look at Xia Mo any longer.
“They said I’m no longer of any use,” Lou Tingting murmured softly, more like talking to herself.
Xia Mo gave a soft "hmm".
"Aren't we blood relatives? Why do you only see our usefulness?" Lou Tingting murmured breathlessly.
“People are different,” Xia Mo was actually more curious about how Lou Tingting could develop a heart that yearned for chivalry in such a family that favored sons over daughters and prioritized interests.
"I...have nowhere to go now," Lou Tingting asked softly, sobbing, "Can you take me in?"
Xia Mo's answer was: "Yes."
Lou Tingting turned to look at Xia Mo and gave her a smile that was no better than crying.
Brother Xia brought the carriage over, and the two of them got into the carriage.
Inside the carriage—
Xia Mo held Lou Tingting's hand and asked curiously, "Tingting, why did you have someone deliberately spread that kind of news?"
Lou Tingting was surprised that Xia Mo knew about it; it was Xia Mo herself who had asked for it to be spread. She said, "I asked, and it's true that they bribed that man to hurt you."
“You shouldn’t have brought this news on yourself. Even if they ruin my reputation, it won’t matter. They can’t ruin my reputation,” Xia Mo said.
When Xia Mo mentioned this, Lou Tingting threw herself into Xia Mo's arms and began to sob.
Lou Tingting just wanted her parents to understand the pain of their daughter's reputation being ruined, but...
Her reputation was ruined, and she was immediately imprisoned in the ancestral hall. She thought that two days of imprisonment would be punishment, but little did she expect...
After discussing it, the family decided to kick her out of the house!
As Xia Mo asked the question, Lou Tingting recalled the events of the past two days and burst into tears again.
Xia Mo reached out and gently patted Lou Tingting's back, silently comforting her.

The backyard of Prince Jiang's Mansion
Before Xia Mo and Xia Erge went to pick up Lou Tingting, Xia's mother and the others already knew about Lou Tingting.
At this moment, when Xia's mother saw Lou Tingting, she felt sorry for her and hugged her tightly. She didn't say any words of comfort, she just held her like that.
Lou Tingting nestled in Xia's mother's arms as if she were in her own mother's embrace, feeling the pure care she received.
After Lou Tingting calmed down, Xia Mo said, "Do you believe that after a while, they will come looking for you again and want to acknowledge you?"
Lou Tingting looked at Xia Mo with a puzzled expression, blinked her eyes in confusion, and then hope rekindled in her eyes.
Lou Tingting sincerely hoped that the Lou family would regret their decision, but the official deed issued by the government that Steward Jiang brought her plunged her into despair!
It was a deed that the Lou family went to the yamen to register and expel Lou Tingting from the family and clan!
The fact that the Lou family has gone to the government office to register this shows that they really have no intention of winning back Lou Tingting.
The moment Lou Tingting saw the contents of the contract, everything went black, and she fainted.
As Lou Tingting closed her eyes, large tears streamed down her face.
It turns out that blood ties really can't withstand the power of self-interest!
Xia Erge stood to the side, and when he looked at Lou Tingting, he was touched, and his eyes couldn't help but show a bit of tenderness and pity.
With a slight thought, Xia Mo caught the contract that had fallen to the ground in her hand. She put the contract in a wooden box and handed it to her second brother, Xia Er.
"Second brother, could you keep this for me for now?" Xia said.
“Yes,” Xia Erge nodded.
Xia's mother carefully picked up Lou Tingting and carried her to the guest room.
While Xia's mother stayed with Lou Tingting, Xia Mo explained the situation to Xia's father and the others.
"The Lou family was just a pawn in the hands of the Li family in the capital. The Lou family failed to do their job properly and failed to let me lose the backing of Prince Jiang. We had to give the Li family an explanation. So, we expelled Tingting from the Lou family as a way of apologizing to the Li family. That's how it is," Xia Mo said, shrugging.
After hearing this, Xia's father felt a little guilty towards Lou Tingting, feeling that his family had dragged Lou Tingting down.
“Tingting is a good girl, but the Lou family favors sons over daughters and prioritizes profit. If Tingting hadn’t been kicked out and had stayed in the Lou family, the only outcome would have been the same: she would have been used to exchange for their benefits,” Xia Mo said.
"You silly child," Xia's mother said, giving Xia Mo a doting glare. "You talk as if you're not a child yourself."
He chuckled as summer drew to a close.
Lou Tingting's presence at the Jiang Prince's Mansion made the Lou family and the Li family, who controlled the Lou family, think that Lou Tingting was useful. They sent people to secretly try to make Lou Tingting their pawn, but that's another story.

The next day—
Inside the private room of the excellent restaurant—
Xia Mo never expected that Master Wan would ask her to meet, and she did as promised.
Wan Sinong hadn't expected that when Xia Mo arrived, Huangfu Qian would come along too. He hurriedly stood up from his seat and looked nervously at Xia Mo, wondering if he could continue speaking.
As Xia Mo sat down, Huangfu Qian, for reasons unknown, stood behind her, acting as if Xia Mo was in charge.
Wan Sinong's eyes were filled with undisguised surprise and astonishment.
"Master Wan, is there something you need from me?" Xia Mo asked.
“I’ve come to discuss a deal with the head of Anjia Township,” Wan Sinong sighed, “You know the book on rice cultivation techniques, right?”
This sentence, on the surface, means this, but it contains a deeper meaning.
Xia Mo raised an eyebrow but did not answer.
Wan Sinong couldn't tell if Xia Mo possessed an intruder like him, so he asked again, "How did you obtain the book 'Rice Cultivation Techniques'? Did you obtain the book 'Cotton Cultivation Techniques' in the same way?"
Wan Sijia, somewhat anxious, added, "I also got the book 'Rice Cultivation Techniques'."
This long passage actually means only one thing: he also has a live streaming system.
While Xia Mo was somewhat surprised, she also discovered a funny method.
She was considering whether she should also use a system to disguise herself. After all, she already had four live streaming systems.
