Farm Girl's Manor

At this time, the atmosphere in the Mo family was steeped in a heavy contemplation, tinged with threads of tension and unease.

Mo Yan had already prepared for retaliation, arranging several days’ worth of grain for Lin Yong in advance and handing the keys over to Elder Meng. She even confined the three little ones at home, forbidding them from going outside in case they were ambushed by Bu Shi Ren.

But until the twenty-ninth of September, the day before they were to leave Jing City and return to Mo Family Village, there was not a single stir from Bu Shi Ren!

"Am I overthinking, or was Bu Shi Ren scared out of his wits by her threat that day?"

Mo Yan muttered to herself in doubt, but the thought of Bu Shi Ren brazenly fabricating evidence to frame her father, even resorting to extralegal punishment, made her feel foolish for believing that degenerate wouldn’t dare to seek revenge.

"Yanyan, we will set off for Mo Family Village early tomorrow morning. Do you think he might go after us on the road?"

Mo Qingze was full of worry. If his children were harmed because of him, he would rather die than see such an outcome.

Mo Yan had this suspicion as well, "In any case, we must be cautious on the road! Fortunately, Brother Lin and the others will accompany us for part of the journey, so we will be able to look out for each other!"

Concerning Lin Yong, after he left that day, Mo Yan gave a rough explanation, simply saying she had once helped him, and now he was willing to offer help as a form of repayment, so Mo Qingze did not question it further.

Thinking of the highly skilled and righteous Lin Yong, Mo Qingze obviously felt more relaxed: "We owe him a great deal this time; otherwise, our family would have been torn apart."

Speaking of which, he broke out in a cold sweat! During Bu Shi Ren’s coercion, he had contemplated proving his innocence through death, but thankfully he persevered. Otherwise, how could he face his children!

While father and daughter were discussing, the Mo family received several unexpected visitors!

"May I ask whom you’re looking for?"

Mo Yan looked warily at the three strangers in front of her. The one leading was an old man with silvery-white whiskers, followed by two lads, each holding an identical jujube-red box in their hands.

Manager Shao, seemingly oblivious to Mo Yan’s defenses, smiled and greeted the father and daughter with clasped hands: "I presume this is Mr. Mo and Miss Mo? I am the manager from Duke Wu’an’s Mansion, following the Young Master’s instructions, I have come today to offer an apology," he said, then instructed the two lads to place the boxes on the table, "These are some tokens from our master for you as compensation for the fright, and we hope Mr. Mo can let bygones be bygones regarding the false accusation of embezzlement."

Duke Wu’an’s Mansion? Offering an apology?

Does this mean that Mo Qingze’s framing has been exposed? But even so, given the status of Duke Wu’an’s Mansion, they surely wouldn’t need to apologize to commoners like them!

Mo Yan suddenly felt that her mind was inadequate, although such an event would seem quite normal in her previous life.

If Mo Yan was simply puzzled, then Mo Qingze and Lizhong, who came out later, were shocked!

Perceiving their unease, Manager Shao kindly explained: "Since Bu Shi Ren was a servant of Duke Wu’an’s Mansion, and he committed wrongdoings under its name, it is only right for the mansion to make amends for the harm done to your family. Now that Bu Shi Ren’s crimes have been fully exposed, he has been jailed, and he won’t trouble you anymore. You all can rest easy."

It wasn’t until Manager Shao and the others left that everyone slightly came back to their senses, seemingly unable to believe that the problem they had worried about night and day had been so easily resolved. The villain had been punished and would no longer be able to plague others.

Mo Yan’s mind suddenly clicked, and she remembered what Lin Yong had said when he left that day. Could it be that he found that Young Master and then managed to drag out Bu Shi Ren? But how did he so easily find that Young Master, and why would that Young Master be willing to come forward to resolve the matter?

She belatedly realized that Lin Yong had many secrets. For instance, a simple country man possessed uncommon martial skills, not to mention he might know a Young Master from a World Family...

In an instant, Lin Yong became very mysterious in Mo Yan’s eyes!

Opening the two boxes that Manager Shao had brought over, she saw that inside were all ten-tael silver ingots, a total of sixty-six of them!

Six hundred and sixty taels! Such a generous amount! Such an auspicious number!

Even Mo Yan, looking at these dazzling silver ingots, felt a bit unsettled!

"Yan, Yanyan, what do, what do we do with these?"

Mo Qingze was also stunned; he had never expected these two unremarkable boxes to contain so much silver. He found the silver burning hot to the touch. Had he known beforehand, he would have definitely asked those people to take it back.

"Naturally, we keep it, to use it slowly over time!" After the surprise, Mo Yan quickly regained her composure, "This silver was neither stolen nor robbed by us. We can keep it with peace of mind!"

Their father had suffered; they had lived in fear and anxiety; what was taking some silver in comparison? ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Watching his daughter calmly accepting the silver, Mo Qingze felt he was too useless, to be scared by over six hundred taels of silver. But carrying so much silver was not convenient, so he suggested, "Then you keep it safe. But since we are hitting the road tomorrow, I think it would be more appropriate to exchange it for silver notes!"

Mo Yan really wanted to exclaim with pride, "As long as I have Space, even a mountain of silver would not be a concern!"

All this, seen by Lizhong, genuinely made him happy for them. He thought that the Mo Family’s luck was exceptionally good. But considering their usual behavior, he felt it was probably the so-called reward for their goodness. Unconsciously, he thought about doing more good deeds himself, perhaps then Heaven would take pity and allow him to find his daughter sooner.

The happiest were the three little ones. The unusual atmosphere at home in the past few days had affected them as well. Now that the matter had been satisfactorily resolved, they no longer needed to live in fear and trepidation.

Having resolved a major potential problem was indeed a joyful occasion. Thinking they would depart for home tomorrow and might never come to Jing City again, Mo Yan straightforwardly suggested that they go shopping. The three little ones unanimously agreed. Moved by the idea, Mo Qingze and Lizhong also felt inclined, so they locked the door and all went out to enjoy the shopping spree together.

Little did they know, an even bigger surprise awaited them on the streets!

"This is fantastic, we don’t have to travel thousands of miles back home. Once the resettlement site is confirmed, we can go directly to the Government Office to change our household registration. Our Emperor is truly wise!"

Looking at the announcement posted by the Government Office, Mo Qingze excitedly read it over and over again until he had memorized all the information, and only then did he finally believe that this was true.

"Who would have thought things would take such a turn? This is good too. Those who want to return can receive some food; they won’t starve on the way. Those who don’t wish to return can settle down in Jing City. Now all the refugees can have their wishes fulfilled!"

Mo Yan was also very pleased. Having a ruler who could consider the people’s needs might mean the current sovereign is truly a wise Emperor. As long as it continues this way, in the coming years, Great Chu should enjoy more stability. It’s better to live during prosperous times than in chaos. She just wondered if Lin Yong had received the news...
