Interstellar Marriage Guide

Chapter 12 - Mo Family's Past Events

Princess Xiya was already awake when Emil arrived at the hospital with Luo Fei. She had just got off the treatment bed and was about to be discharged. When she saw her son coming in, she smiled and said, “The housekeeper was too nervous and called you back.”

Emil quickly reached out to support her and asked, “Do you feel better?”

Xiya nodded: “Yes, it’s just dizziness, nothing serious…”

Just as they were talking, a doctor in a white coat came in, holding a report in his hand and handed it to Emil. “The test results have come out. It’s not serious, just dizziness caused by hypoglycemia. Please pay attention to eating on time, supplement your nutrition, and make sure to get plenty of rest.”

Emil took the test sheet and looked it over, politely said: “Thank you. Can mother be discharged from the hospital?”

The doctor said: “Yes, she can leave the hospital anytime.”

***

After arriving home, Princess Xiya took the medicine and fell asleep.

The housekeeper said to Emil with an embarrassed face: “I thought Madam’s condition was serious, so I called you immediately…”

Emil didn’t blame him, but said gently: “It’s okay, the banquet was almost over anyway. Besides, mother’s health has always been poor, so it’s best to pay more attention to it. You can go back to work, I’ll stay and take care of her.”

Seeing the housekeeper leave, Luo Fei followed Emil out of the bedroom and asked, “Does aunt often faint?”

Emil said: “She’s been suffering from hypoglycemia, and has to take medicine to stabilize her blood sugar every morning. She’s gotten a lot better in recent years after being slowly recuperated.”

Luo Fei nodded: “That’s a relief.”

Their hearts finally settled after the false alarm.

Xiya was already asleep, so in order not to wake her up, Emil brought Luo Fei to his manor to chat.

While chatting, Luo Fei couldn’t help but see the scene of Mo Lin crying again in his mind – that omega was so sensitive and weak, crying and giving up on himself. It made one angry just looking at him. He really gathered all the traits that Luo Fei hated the most.

How did the Mo family endure such an omega?

If his younger brother cried like this all day long, Luo Fei’s head would explode.

Thinking of this, Luo Fei couldn’t help turning around to ask: “By the way, cousin, you and Mo Han are alumni. How much do you know about his brother Mo Lin?”

Emil was taken aback when he heard this question: “Why are you so interested in Mo Lin all of a sudden?”

Luo Fei: “I met Mo Lin today.”

Emil’s eyes widened: “Ah? You saw him?”

“What?” Luo Fei looked at the other party suspiciously. “Has no one seen him before?”

“That’s right!” Emil said, “I grew up in Lyra, and our family has a lot of contact with the Mo family, but I’ve never met Mo Lin.”

“What’s going on?” Luo Fei frowned.

“Speaking of these twins, I have to tell you about their father first.” Emil said mysteriously. “Have you heard of Fang Ziqian?”

“No. He is Mo Han’s omega father?”

“Yes. Back then, the Empire1T/N: going forward I’ll be capitalizing the Empire instead of keeping it sentence case hadn’t been reformed, and all omegas were sent to the omega academy specialized in the Virgo galaxy. Fang Ziqian was also a son of a rich family, but he had a strange personality. It is said that he violated school rules many times and was almost expelled. Because he was very beautiful, Mo Qiming fell in love with him at first sight when he went to Virgo with his father. The two families are both business-minded, and considered them well-matched, so their parents negotiated a marriage contract.”

“The marriage of the Fang and Mo families was originally a very happy event. Many wealthy families in the business world were invited, and the wedding was almost comparable to that of the royal family. However, Fang Ziqian was very dissatisfied with the marriage and ran away from home and didn’t show up at the wedding.”

“…” Luo Fei was speechless. This omega is brave enough to release pigeons2idiom for not showing up at the wedding banquet. He could imagine the shocked expressions of the guests who learned that Fang Ziqian had escaped.

Luo Fei couldn’t help touching his nose, and asked: “He ran away on the day of the wedding, didn’t Mo Qiming die of anger?”

“My father happened to be there. He said that Mo Qiming’s face was very ugly at that time, and he was trembling with anger.” Emil couldn’t help laughing when he said this.

“Anyone in his situation would be trembling with anger.” Luo Fei chuckled. “What happened next? Was he caught?”

“Yeah, the two families worked together to find him. After more than a year of searching, they finally found him in a remote corner of a planet. They captured him and held a new wedding. But this time they didn’t dare to invite too many people, and had it privately done.” Emil also relished the sensational gossip back then. “Fang Ziqian only got pregnant after several years of marriage, probably because the relationship between them wasn’t very good.”

“He was pregnant with twin brothers Mo Han and Mo Lin?”

“Yes. It’s just that Fang Ziqian wasn’t in good health during pregnancy. I heard that Mo Lin was very weak when he was born and fell ill at every turn. In order to take care of his youngest son, Mo Qiming hired private tutors for the twin brothers. The two brothers were homeschooled, and I didn’t know anything until Mo Han entered Hermann University with full marks in all subjects three years ago. As for the younger brother, Mo Lin, he has been recuperating at home due to his poor health, and I’ve never met him… Speaking of, how did you see him today?”

“I met him by accident. I heard from Mo Han that Mo Lin had an accident when he was ten years old, and was greatly stimulated? What exactly happened?”

“That’s complicated.” Emil cleared his throat and said, “When he was ten years old, Mo Lin was kidnapped when he was out with his father. By the time Mo Qiming rescued them, Mo Lin’s father had already passed away. Mo Lin’s legs were broken and he became disabled. They don’t dare let him meet outsiders, and outsiders dare not mention him in Mo’s house.”

Emil sighed, showing a trace of sympathy on his face.

“Actually, Mo Lin is quite pitiful. His father was even more miserable. In order to protect Mo Lin, he was seriously injured and could not be rescued. I was young at that time, and went to the hospital with my father and also attended Fang Ziqian’s funeral. Mo Qiming loved him very much. He knelt in front of his tombstone and cried for a long time. It was heartbreaking to watch.”

“…” Luo Fei didn’t speak anymore, but carefully sorted out the ins and outs of this matter in his mind.

Through Emil’s description, coupled with Mo Han’s previous explanation, Luo Fei was finally able to connect the whole incident together.

Fang Ziqian was not in good health, so Mo Lin was weak from birth, and the two brothers were taken care of at home under the protection of Mo Qiming. When Mo Lin went out with his father when he was ten years old, he was accidentally kidnapped, his legs were broken, and he became disabled. In addition, his father died to protect him. He had a nervous breakdown after the stimulation, and has stayed at Mo’s house without leaving and never seen outsiders since.

This story sounds fine, but Luo Fei had a strange intuition.

——The truth may not be as simple as it seems.

More than 20 years ago, marriage reforms hadn’t happened yet. Most omegas followed the arrangement of the association or their parents to marry alphas and have children. Yet Fang Ziqian was able to run away on the day of his wedding under the surveillance of the Fang family and the Mo family. How did he escape? He obviously made a sophisticated plan long ago without anyone noticing, and it took the two families a whole year of searching to find him – this proves that he is very brave and quite smart.

Such a brave and smart omega, after being kidnapped, how can he watch his son being beaten and sacrifice himself?

Kidnappers usually kidnap hostages only for money. As long as the hostages are obedient and ask their family members to bring ransom, their lives are generally not in danger.

With Fang Ziqian’s IQ, why can’t ordinary kidnappers be dealt with?

Even if he isn’t in good health and cannot fight against them physically, he can find a way to delay for time and wait for Mo Qiming to come to the rescue, right? How can he be so stupid as to face them head-on with his son, and then have his son’s legs broken and himself beaten to death?

Based on this, there are two possibilities for this kidnapping case.

First, the kidnappers did not kidnap them for money, but wanted to kill Fang Ziqian and his son directly, so no matter how high his IQ was, he couldn’t escape, and could only do his best to protect his son. Second, this kidnapping case isn’t as simple as the Mo family publicized. Fang Ziqian may not be dead, and Mo Lin may not mentally ill with disabled legs. There must be a more complicated inside story.

Thinking of this, Luo Fei immediately asked Chongming to connect to the Internet to check the information from back then.

Chongming quickly found, and then quickly processed and analyzed the data: “Master, the reports on the Internet about the kidnapping case ten years ago are all the same. They say that Fang Ziqian was killed, Mo Lin’s legs were broken, and Mo Qiming was devastated and held a funeral or something…”

Luo Fei asked sharply, “What did the police say?”

Chongming searched for a while before responding, “The police have not come forward on this matter.”

Luo Fei rubbed his chin thoughtfully: “In other words, after Fang Ziqian and his son were kidnapped, Mo Qiming didn’t call the police at all.”

Chongming said: “Yes. Mo Qiming dealt with it privately, and Fang Ziqian was killed because of his failure to deal with it.”

Luo Fei: “…”

It seems that his suspicion is not wrong.

There should be some important secret hidden behind the twins of the Mo family, and Fang Ziqian’s death is also full of doubts.

Luo Fei didn’t have much interest in Mo Lin as an omega. He was just was curious what an omega with such excellent genes looks like.

But his curiosity about the Mo family twins was roused now.

He can’t wait to find out the truth behind them.
