As soon as Mo Qianyan spoke, several gasps were heard throughout the hall.
"Qianyan, what happened?" Mo Yining immediately put on a stern face and asked seriously.
He was Mo Qianyan's father and, although he did not know much about Lu Yinfeng—the daughter-in-law, he knew Old Master Mo loved this granddaughter-in-law dearly.
For three years, Lu Yinfeng had always made Old Master Mo very happy. Even if she had no merits, she had suffered hardships.
Old Master Mo had not been dead for long, so how could his own son have gotten divorced from her?
"Dad, I've already divorced this woman. She has nothing to do with the Mo family anymore, and she has no right to a share of Grandfather's inheritance!" Mo Qianyan said loudly.
Lu Yinfeng's face was already red at this point, and with so many of the Mo family members looking at her with disdain or mockery, she felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"Lu Yinfeng, tell us what happened?"
Seeing Mo Qianyan so emotional, only concerned about the inheritance, Mo Yining turned around and asked Lu Yinfeng.
Lu Yinfeng felt both embarrassed and blushing, her head hanging low, she replied in a barely audible voice, "Dad... no, Mr. Mo Yining, it's true that Mo Qianyan and I divorced two days ago..."
Mo Qianyan did not intend to let Lu Yinfeng off easily. It seemed that he wanted to vent all the resentment he had accumulated over the past three years at once.
He delivered an impassioned speech, his presence fierce.
"This woman, I don't know what kind of love potion she fed Grandfather, but she schemed with all her might to climb the social ladder and marry into a wealthy family, just waiting to split our Mo family's fortunes! She has malicious intentions!" Mo Qianyan said. "In Grandfather's will, there is not even a slight mention of us grandchildren, not my cousins nor I have received a dime! Yet this outsider not only got this Old Mansion, but also five percent of the shares!"
Five percent of Mo Group's shares were enough to put Lu Yinfeng at the top of Mochuan City's wealthy list overnight.
Why should she pocket so much of the Mo family's wealth without lifting a finger!
Mo Qianyan's words left no face for Lu Yinfeng, and the other Mo family members no longer held back their feelings either.
"Ha, I've always known that this woman is not that simple!" Mo Qianyan's eldest cousin, Mo Wenxue, mocked.
"She looks alright, but what she does is so dirty. Girls from humble families are just like that, so greedy for money!" Mo Xinman sarcastically chimed in, "Little brother, I'm sad for you that such a person was once your wife."
"Elder sister, you know as well as I do that I didn't want to marry her," Mo Qianyan said coldly, his voice very icy.
His look towards Lu Yinfeng was filled with disdain.
Being accused by Mo family members from all sides, especially the unabashed malice from Mo Qianyan, made Lu Yinfeng feel like she had fallen into an ice cave, trembling uncontrollably.
Her character was being trampled upon here, without a care by these surnamed Mo.
It seemed to her that money was the ultimate motive behind all actions, in the eyes of these people.
"No... no..." Lu Yinfeng shook her head desperately, almost crying out. She tried to defend herself, "I didn't know the will was like this! I really wasn't after the money..."
However, before she could finish her words, Mo Qianyan lightly rebutted them.
"Grandfather was in your care before he passed away, it must have been you who deceived Grandfather, who was no longer lucid, into making this will!"
"I didn't! I swear!"
Lu Yinfeng desperately wanted to prove her innocence, but how could she produce evidence for something she had never done?
All she did was accompany Old Master Mo through his last journey in life, but throughout that time, neither of them had mentioned anything about inheritance!
Throughout the entire process of Lu Yinfeng being attacked by the Mo family members, Mo Nanze watched quietly, his eyes as deep as an abyss.
"Lawyer! I now question the validity of this will and request an investigation!" Mo Qianyan said loudly.
The lawyer, as if accustomed to seeing inheritance disputes in wealthy families, appeared very calm.
He spoke placidly, "Mr. Mo Qianyan, this will was personally drafted by Old Master Mo Qingfeng two years ago, notarized, and legally binding."
"What?" Mo Qianyan was shocked.
He knew that Grandfather liked Lu Yinfeng, but he never expected him to like her to this extent, to have made a will two years ago bequeathing her so much property.
Who is his real grandchild after all!
Mo Qianyan refused to accept it, grinding his teeth as he said, "Old Master Mo's will stated 'Mo Family's daughter-in-law'! She's no longer a Mo Family's daughter-in-law, and she has no right to the inheritance!"
After all the twists and turns, the conversation had come back to this topic.
Desperately, Mo Qianyan tried to exploit this loophole to prove that Lu Yinfeng had no right to the inheritance!
He didn't want much, just to be allotted the Mo Family's old mansion.
Hearing this, Lu Yinfeng gave a wry smile. She looked at Mo Qianyan, whose face was twisted with emotion, and felt a true sense of discomfort.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Yinfeng prepared to announce that she was giving up her right to the inheritance.
After all, she didn't need these things.
Just as Lu Yinfeng was steadying herself to speak, Mo Nanze suddenly stood up.
Under everyone's gaze, he walked over to Lu Yinfeng and took her hand.
Mo Nanze's large hand nearly encompassed Lu Yinfeng's entire hand.
Feeling a gentle softness, Lu Yinfeng felt her body stiffen; she didn't dare move and let Mo Nanze envelop her hand with a sense of helplessness.
"Little Uncle, what are you doing?" Mo Xinman exclaimed incredulously.
No one had expected such a scene, and all eyes were now on Lu Yinfeng and Mo Nanze.
"Nanze! Mind your manners! What do you think you're doing, holding your nephew's wife's hand!" Mo Yining scolded angrily.
"..."
The Mo family members started to accuse Mo Nanze one after another at this moment.
In such times, the Mo family members were always "united as one, unanimous against outsiders".
"I think there's a good show coming up, heh." Mo Zhiyan, who had always been carefree and uninterested in anything, chuckled and said, "Qianyan, your daughter-in-law... tsk tsk, quite interesting!"
Being teased by his least favorite cousin, Mo Qianyan couldn't save face and darkly said to Mo Nanze, "Little Uncle, are you really siding with this woman?"
He admitted that Lu Yinfeng was somewhat attractive, but his Little Uncle who was indifferent to women and didn't even have a scandalous girlfriend, how could he be entranced by Lu Yinfeng?
Under the intense gaze of everyone, Mo Nanze was not the least bit flustered, his expression as calm as ever.
"Since everyone is here, I'll take this opportunity to announce that Yinfeng and I have already become legally married," Mo Nanze said composedly, then turned to look at Mo Qianyan with a deep gaze, "So, the reason you just stated is no longer valid."
She, Lu Yinfeng, was still a Mo Family's daughter-in-law!
"Hiss—"
"Wow, explosive! What a drama!"
"Ridiculous! This is madness! The Mo Family hasn't seen such a thing in nearly a hundred years!"
The hall erupted with another round of gasps and a mix of surprised or mocking voices.
Lu Yinfeng did not expect Mo Nanze to disclose this in such a setting; she felt embarrassed and lowering her head, tugged at Mo Nanze's hand.
Mo Nanze lessened his grip slightly while holding Lu Yinfeng's hand even tighter.
"Don't worry." To calm the trembling Lu Yinfeng, Mo Nanze spoke in a low voice that only she could hear, "I will take whatever comes."
Yet, this was still unable to soothe the unceasing tremor in Lu Yinfeng's heart.
In a flurry of panic, she stepped back and hid behind Mo Nanze.
His broad and sturdy back acted like a wall, temporarily building a fortress for Lu Yinfeng, and she felt a bit more at peace.
"Little Uncle, what... what kind of joke is this!" The most shocked person present was undoubtedly Mo Qianyan.
He scrutinized Mo Nanze over and over, questioning, "When did you two... get together! No, no, this must be fake!"
"Whether it's real or not, you'll know if you take a look for yourself." As Mo Nanze spoke, he reached into the inside of his suit, pulled out the marriage certificate, and threw it on the table.
