Sun Huihui was stunned!
“Mother, you…”
Zhou Furong nodded. “That’s right, me too. That’s the only way we can have a good life. Think about it. You’ll be married into the Mo family, and I’m only your mother. Then when your father looks for us, even the Mo family won’t be able to do anything to him because you’re his daughter. He might even humiliate you and cause the Mo family to look down on you.”
“But if I marry into a good family, your father certainly won’t dare to make trouble for me. After all, I’m his wife. It’s very humiliating for a man if his wife marries someone else. He won’t dare to make a fuss.
“Most importantly, this is the only way we can help each other. If I, as your mother, marry into a good family, the Mo family won’t dare to offend you. The family I marry won’t dare to offend me either because you’re the mistress of the Mo family. That way, we can have a good life.”
Sun Huihui’s eyes brightened. “That’s right! Mother, you’re so clever!”
“That way, we won’t have to worry even if Mo Beihan really discovers anything!”
Zhou Furong nodded. “That’s right. We must act fast. Ideally, we should settle the matter within the next few days. Huihui, Mo Beihan is still young and hotblooded. A man of his age will never reject a woman who throws herself at him. Right now, he dislikes us because of your grandmother. But if you get close to him, he certainly won’t be able to push you aside.
“Once the deed is done, he won’t be able to refuse you. No man ever pushes a woman out of his arms. Even if he and Gu Qingyao don’t get divorced immediately, he won’t banish you from the Mo house. Then you can continue to live in the Mo house in dignity.”
Sun Huihui frowned. “Mother, what will happen to me if he doesn’t divorce Gu Qingyao?”
Zhou Furong glanced at her in disappointment. “What are you thinking? Ultimately, you have to get Mo Beihan to divorce her and marry you. But we don’t have enough time now!
“If Mo Beihan starts an investigation in our hometown, he will find out all about us within half a month or at most, a month. When the news reaches the capital, he will get rid of us.
“All you have to do is win his favor during this time. It’s good enough if you can ensure that he won’t banish you. So what if Gu Qingyao remains in the house? They’re men! It’s common for them to have multiple wives and concubines. What more a family like the Mos? You’re his cousin in name, so you have every right to stay in the Mo house, and no one will suspect anything. Who will know if you sleep together at night?”
Sun Huihui: “…”
“After a while, you can get Mo Beihan to drive Gu Qingyao away and divorce her, then you can consider your status. You can say that you are not my biological daughter but adopted. That way, you won’t be related to him by blood. Then you can naturally get married.”
Sun Huihui bit her lips. “Will that work?”
“Of course!” Zhou Furong said confidently. “Mother is experienced, and I know all about men. Don’t worry. As long as you can find a way to get into Mo Beihan’s bed, he certainly won’t reject you. Do you remember how I managed to flee from the Sun house with you?”
Sun Huihui remembered that her mother had been desperate and had gotten another man to help. She had gotten together with that man before he was willing to help them.
Sun Huihui nodded. “Very well, I’ll listen to you. Then… Mother, who are you going to marry?”
