The Substitute Madam Amazes the World Once More

Mo Zhu's mother remarried after her father went missing, and she had lived in the countryside with her elderly grandmother ever since. The girl who had no parents wanted to protect herself. Therefore, to avoid getting bullied, she had turned wild since she was a child—she played truant, fought, and drank. There was nothing she did not know how to do. She was a problematic student in the eyes of her teachers, a big sister in the eyes of her classmates, and a hooligan in the eyes of her acquaintances. When she was eighteen, her birth mother retrieved her to live at her stepfather's house. Everyone in the village claimed that she was going to live a happy life in the city, that her mother had not forgotten that she had a daughter here. "Mo Zhu, the Huo family is one of the most powerful families in the country. It's your good fortune to replace your younger sister in marrying into the Huo family. You have to cherish this opportunity," explained her mother patiently as she held Mo Zhu's hand. Mo Zhu's eyes were filled with sorrow. At that instant, she knew why her mother thought of her. Inviting her over to the city to enjoy life was simply a figment of her imagination—she was simply an exploitable piece of trash that her mother could sacrifice. The Eldest Young Master of the Huo family fell severely ill recently. He did not just develop a twisted personality, but also became violent and cruel. His face had been completely ruined and he had only two years left to live. Mo Zhu's younger sister was supposed to be Eldest Young Master Huo's fiancée, but the ruined young master was no longer a suitable match. Fearing the Huo family's influences, her mother did not dare to cancel the marriage, thus she sent Mo Zhu under the bus to protect her younger sister. However, was Mo Zhu truly just a useless simpleton who knew how to smoke, drink, and fight? No! That was simply a disguise she used for self-defense since she was a girl without parents. After marrying into the Huo family, she stopped smoking, drinking, and fighting. She became the best daughter-in-law a mother-in-law could ever have; the best wife a husband could ever have. What never occurred to anyone was she no longer flunked in her studies. In fact, she transformed into a straight-A student. Half a year later, she enrolled in the best university in the country and majored in specialized medicine. Determined to become an excellent doctor, she cured her husband's illness completely in merely two years. That handsome and suave Eldest Young Master Huo returned. After Huo Xuan's recovery, he allocated a huge budget and held the biggest wedding of the century for Mo Zhu. During the grand wedding ceremony, Huo Xuan announced during his speech, "In this lifetime, there are two people I'm most grateful for other than my parents. One of them is my mother-in-law. Thank you for despising me after I fell ill and forcing my wife to marry me in her younger sister's stead. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met the most important person in my life! The second person must be my wife! She never despised me when I was at my lowest. Instead, she takes good care of me. She's an angel sent by God, and she has saved me with her forgiveness and kindness, granting me a second chance at life."

Jingyang High School

Translator: Atlas Studios Éditeur: Atlas Studios

The next day, the Fang family discussed which school Mo Zhu should attend.

"Xiao Zhu, which high school do you want to go to?" Father Fang looked at Mo Zhu. He had always felt guilty towards Mo Zhu. He was willing to do his best to satisfy her request.

Mo Zhu was playing a game when she heard this. She looked up and said, "Jingyang High School."

After hearing her words, without waiting for Father Fang's reply, Qin Ya said, "You're always fighting and fighting, ignorant and incompetent, yet you still want to go to the best high school in Cloud City? Even your sister has to get in by her results. You can't just get in with bribing them. It's already good enough that you went to Second High. Don't push your luck!"

Fortunately, the others didn't hear her. Otherwise, they would mock her for giving birth to a daughter who thinks too highly of herself. They would be utterly humiliated.

"That's right. Although I really want to be in the same school as you so that I can take care of you, don't make things difficult for father."

Fang Ran also spoke up, her eyes filled with disdain. "Alright, stop."

"I will contact my friends and try to get you into the best school."

"No need, Uncle. I have a recommendation letter from the principal of Jingyang High School."

Mo Zhu looked up lazily, her hands moving quickly on the game interface. Looking at her hand speed, Fang Ran couldn't help but suspect that she could match against a professional eSports player.

She did play games usually and was quite good at it. However, she could not compare to the speed of Mo Zhu's hands. However, she soon convinced herself that Mo Zhu was just putting on an act in front of them.

Upon hearing Mo Zhu's words, Qin Ya stood up in anger. She pointed at her and said, "Can you stop spouting nonsense? Listen to what you're saying. I'm embarrassed for you. Do you know who the principal of Jingyang High School is? It's already good enough that you get to go to school as you only play games all day long. Why do you have to lie? It's such a ridiculous lie. You're really raised by your grandma. You're not presentable at all!"

"Who allowed you to pick on my grandma!"

Mo Zhu slowly stood up and stared at Qin Ya with her dark eyes. Mo Zhu's eyes were bloodshot all year round, and now, they were tinged with ruthlessness. She was like a leopard that had been angered, and her usual cold voice carried a hint of ruthlessness.

Qin Ya was frightened by Mo Zhu's appearance and hurriedly fell onto the sofa.

Mo Zhu left the Fang house without looking back.

Fang Ran was also shocked. "She was so scary just now."

"That's enough. It's all your mother's fault for talking about Mo Zhu's grandmother first." Father Fang looked at Qin Ya and sighed.

"That child has really grown up wild and turned into this state. It's fine for her to cause trouble in Qingyuan Village as no one cares about her. But now, she's just behaving like a lying local ruffian!"

Qin Ya had already recovered from her previous state and was trembling with anger.

"Father, are you really going to let my sister enter Jingyang High School?"

"I'll try my best to use my connections."

The principal of Jingyang High School was extremely strict. Although the students there were either rich or noble, the principal paid great attention to the quality of teaching and would not allow others to enter easily. No matter how powerful the family was, they had to pass the examination before they could enter the school. The principal of Jingyang High School had this authority and did not have to fear any family.

Obviously, everyone thought that Mo Zhu was lying. Father Fang also only thought that Mo Zhu really wanted to enter Jingyang High School.

"Father, I'm going to practice my piano."

"Okay, go ahead."

Father Fang patted Fang Ran's head. Not only did Fang Ran have excellent grades, but her piano skills had already surpassed level ten. She was one of the best in the socialite circle and Father Fang was very satisfied with this daughter of his.

After Fang Ran left, Father Fang started contacting people to arrange for Mo Zhu to enter Jingyang High School.

As for Mo Zhu, she held her phone and walked out of the Fang residence. The game interface was still on her phone.

However, the messages kept coming in, and Mo Zhu immediately exited the game interface.

A WeChat message from "Security officer of the nunnery" popped up.

"Did your internet connection disconnect?"

"I suddenly don't feel like playing anymore."

"…"

Mo Zhu walked around for a while outside and returned to the Fang family. At this time, Father Fang was already waiting for her downstairs. When he saw her return, he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Xiao Zhu. Uncle doesn't have the ability to let you go to Jingyang High School to study."

Father Fang sincerely felt sorry towards Mo Zhu. Although the Fang family was considered one of the top families in Cloud City, they were still a family of merchants and did not have much power or connections.

"It's fine, Uncle. I'll settle my own school matters," Mo Zhu replied casually, her expression unchanged.

Father Fang felt that the little girl was just being stubborn and was refusing to admit it. He took out a card that he had prepared beforehand and handed it to Mo Zhu.

"This is a little token of my appreciation. Buy some clothes or something. I know your mother wouldn't give you these."

Of course, Mo Zhu didn't accept it. She just said that she still had money and rejected it before returning to her room.
