Chapter 712: All Grown Up Now

The ruler of a country should not be injured.

Otherwise, the people of other countries would definitely look down on him. Attacking him with this would be terrible for Qianyuan.

“I just think that Father doesn’t have to argue with the Emperor all the time. If it were really not for the Crown Prince, you would have offended people for nothing. Moreover… not to mention other things, even Young Lady Dong, the future imperial consort, is a troublemaker. I really don’t like her…”

Young Lady Yan felt uneasy when she thought about how the Fourth Prince was such a peaceful person, yet he was matched with such an ambitious lady.

However, she should not be the one to worry about such things.

Her gaze landed on the wooden tablet. “Father, do you think… Young Lady Xie wants us to invite Master Mo over to visit Mother?”

Master Yan’s expression changed.

“Think about it. I saved Second Young Lady Xie, so this favor is quite big. Young Lady Xie knows that you don’t like Master Mo, so she wouldn’t specially send something to make you uncomfortable. I think she might have asked around and found out about our family’s situation, so she thought of Master Mo. She wants us to… give it a try?” Young Lady Yan added.

Master Yan’s expression became serious. “How can we believe in a witch? If we invite her here, our Yan family’s reputation…”

“Father, do you think that reputation is more important than Mother?” Lady Yan asked directly.

Master Yan’s expression changed twice.

“I… have been constantly cursing out there and saying that that person is a witch who bewitched people. Even in front of the Emperor, I stand by my words. If I were to look for that Witch Mo, even if that person could really save your mother, considering my previous attitude, why would she really save our family? Rather than having our weakness in someone else’s hands, it is better to accept our fate without going against our will,” Master Yan added.

He knew that Witch Mo must have some ability.

Perhaps she knew medicine, or she knew how to scare people.

Otherwise, she would not have made the Crown Prince and the others so respectful of her and flatter her.

However, because of this, he dared not visit her.

“Since Young Lady Xie has given us this, you should know that Master Mo is definitely not a petty person who holds grudges. If Father thinks it’s inappropriate, then I will meet her.” Young Lady Yan immediately grabbed the wooden tablet.

Master Yan glared at her. “Give it back to me.”

“No. Father taught us from a young age that we must have our own opinion in everything and not go with the flow. I’m now making decisions for myself. If that person really has the ability to cure my mother, I’ll kneel three times and kowtow nine times to beg, regardless of any past grudges.” As she spoke, Young Lady Yan stood up frankly.

His daughter had all grown up now!

Master Yan had a helpless look on his face. He wanted to chase her, but he wanted to save his dignity. He wanted to scold her, but he could not bear to do that.

Just like that, he held it in and his daughter had already walked far away.

Yan Ruzhuang was afraid that her father would stop her, so she immediately ordered someone to prepare a carriage and leave the house.

She headed straight for the Fortune Pavilion.

Xie Qiao had already sent a message to Fortune Pavilion’s manager. If someone came with a wooden token and she was not around, he would set a time with them and go directly to the Yan Residence.

However, Xie Qiao did not expect the Yan family to be so direct and come on that day itself!

She thought that it would still be some time before she could convince Master Yan!

For instance, when her teacher returned to the capital, her reputation as Li Shiyan’s head disciple would spread no matter how much he tried to hide it. When that time came, Master Yan’s heart would definitely change.

Of course, there were still some people who knew about the relationship between Mo Chusheng and Li Shiyan, but not many. In fact, many people did not believe it even if they knew.

Now that Yan Ruzhuang had come in person, it just so happened that she was free…

Xie Qiao treated her politely and invited her into the compartment.
