My carefree life in space

Chapter 33 Conspiracy and Scheme

Seeing Xiao Qin's unpredictable expression, Lin Shushu felt extremely pleased. Compared to Xiao Qin's underhanded methods, she didn't mind putting things in the open.

Xiao Qin could easily tell others that she was seeking revenge against her. Why would she seek revenge? It must be because she did something she shouldn't have.

Would Xiao Qin dare to say it? No, she wouldn't.

This is why Lin Shushu doesn't mind being seen through by Xiao Qin.

Since Xiao Qin dared to use underhanded tactics, she wouldn't hold back and wouldn't pretend nothing had happened.

Lin Shushu wanted Xiao Qin to know, "That's right, I did it, what can you do about it?"

Since you've been hiding in the shadows, plotting against me, then I'll retaliate with a calculated, open strategy in the sunlight. Who told me I have the confidence to do so?

Watching Xiao Qin slink away, Lin Shushu chuckled softly.

"Are you calm now?" Mo Ze patted her head affectionately.

"Yes, it's so satisfying to take revenge." Lin Shushu smiled broadly.

After Xiao Qin left, she found Gu Heng and told him that she wanted to rest for a day.

Although Gu Heng felt it was inappropriate, since the two teams were now working together, seeing Xiao Qin's dejected appearance, he assumed that yesterday's events had left a shadow in her heart, so he agreed to discuss it with Mo Chen and the others.

Ultimately, everyone decided to rest there for a day.

Mo Ze and Lin Shushu didn't mind. They made an excuse to wander around and returned to their space to continue their cultivation.

No one thought much of it, assuming the two needed some time alone, and they smiled knowingly.

Back in her tent, Xiao Qin's face immediately darkened. She couldn't let the suffering she'd endured yesterday go unpunished. But the situation was unclear; Lin Shushu's background was still unknown, and she couldn't afford to act rashly.

Thinking of this, she suddenly smiled. Since she couldn't do it herself, she would let someone else do it.

Presumably, the Mohist school wouldn't accept someone of such unknown origin as their future matriarch. Having a member of the Mohist school handle things would save her a lot of trouble.

Besides, she's not the only one in the entire empire who's interested in Mo Ze; there are plenty of people of higher status and power than her. If they found out that Mo Ze has someone he likes, they'd probably drown Lin Shushu in their gossip.

The aloof flower blooms alone; everyone wants to possess it, but no one succeeds, so they all live in peace, admiring it from afar. If anyone were to pluck it, they could expect to be attacked by the entire group.

Even though she could see that Mo Ze cared about Lin Shushu, Xiao Qin still believed that the Mo family would not agree to their marriage.

It can only be said that some people hold preconceived notions and assume that others share them. Little do they know that not every family cares about social status.

As for other people's opinions, there's no need to care. As long as you have enough confidence, no matter how many thoughts or opinions others have, it won't matter.

Thinking she had found a solution, Xiao Qin shook off her earlier gloom. She used her personal computer to edit a message and anonymously posted it on the StarNet, which quickly caused a huge uproar on the StarNet.

There was no way around it; Mo Ze was a war god revered by the people of the empire, and news about him was something everyone was eager to know.

Moreover, the recent news of his disappearance and reappearance has further heightened public attention towards him.

The latest news about him came out more than a month ago. It is said that although he is still alive, he is not able to return for the time being.

Many people speculated that his injuries were too severe to walk, which is why he had not returned for so long.

But what did they hear today? Mo Ze actually has a girlfriend, and they're even planning to get married.

This stirred up a hornet's nest, and everyone was discussing whether the matter was true or false.

After all, Mo Ze is already 28 years old, and there has never been any news of him getting close to any girl before.

His disappearance and subsequent reappearance, complete with a girlfriend, is truly astonishing, prompting widespread speculation about what kind of girl had won over this seemingly unattainable beauty.

In an instant, countless girls' hearts were broken. The aloof flower they could only admire from afar had been plucked by someone—who was this little devil?

Some people had doubts about the matter and left messages requesting pictures and the truth. However, Xiao Qin ignored them. She logged out of the StarNet and waited for the matter to develop before seeing Lin Shushu's ugly expression.

Unable to get an answer from the person who sent the message, many people posted questions on the StarNet. This expanded the reach even further, achieving Xiao Qin's goal.

After numerous inquiries yielded no results, some people even came to the door to verify the information.

The steward of the Mo family was completely bewildered. Only after hearing the explanation did he realize that such a sensational news was circulating on the StarNet.

But he didn't know either! Besides, even if he did know, it wasn't something he could just reveal casually.

In the end, he could only persuade the visitors to leave by saying that the head of the household and his wife were away and that it was inconvenient to tell them about other matters.

After dismissing the messenger, Butler Mo thought for a moment and decided that he still needed to inform the head of the family and his wife about the matter. As for the truth, the head of the family would ask, and they would just wait for their notification.

So, the couple, who were enjoying their vacation on some distant tourist planet and had completely forgotten about home, were stunned by this big news.

Is this for real? Their son has never even looked at any girl properly, so how come he's bringing home a daughter-in-law the moment he goes out?

Overjoyed, Jin Siyue immediately packed her things, eager to return to the capital city. Her husband managed to persuade her to stay.

“You won’t see them even if you go back now, so why don’t you ask them through the quantum computer? He wouldn’t lie to us.”

“Oh, right…yes, I’m so happy. They’re not home either, and I won’t see them when I go back.” She patted her head as she pulled out her personal terminal to send a video call request.

Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time without receiving a reply, Jin Siyue became a little anxious.

"Could something have happened?" she asked her husband.

"Don't worry, what could have happened? They must not have been paying attention to the messages. Just wait a little longer," Mo Kun comforted him.

“You’re right, I was too nervous,” she said, changing the subject. “What kind of person do you think our daughter-in-law is? She must be a very good person, otherwise she wouldn’t have caught our son’s eye.”

"So this is what you call a daughter-in-law?" Mo Kun chuckled, not waiting for his reply.

"By the way, what kind of gift should I give you? Come over here and give me some advice."

In the short time it took to say a few words, Jin Siyue was surrounded by all sorts of exquisite jewelry. She picked up one piece, put it down, picked up another, and put it down again, always hesitant.

Mo Kun sighed and held his wife's hand. "When we meet, just let her choose whichever one she likes."

A word to awaken the dreamer.

“That’s right. We’ve finally found a daughter-in-law, so of course we should pamper her. If she likes it, we can give it all to her,” Jin Siyue said, looking at the table full of jewelry in front of her.

Lin Shushu and Mo Ze, who were immersed in cultivation, were unaware that their story had already spread throughout the empire.
