Farm Girl's Manor

Seeing Mo Yan’s sincere attitude, it was clear that she truly realized her mistake, and Mo Qingze’s expression softened slightly, though his voice was still very stern, "Knowing it was wrong yet you persisted, making a mistake on top of another mistake!

After thinking it over, she dared not concoct too wild a story and quietly explained, "’The Buddha says saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda.’ Although that person is the distinguished Crown Prince, a slight misstep could bring trouble to his home, but after all, it is still a life. If the daughter has life-saving medicine in hand, and if I didn’t know about it, that would be fine, but knowing it and not offering it, I would never have peace of heart!"

As she spoke, she cautiously glanced at Mo Qingze and, seeing her father’s frown seemingly become even more severe, continued as if to remedy her words, "The greatest fault of your daughter wasn’t to save someone with the medicine, but rather that I didn’t consult with father before making this decision on my own."

Mo Qingze listened and actually believed this reason. He felt reassured by his daughter’s inherently good heart, yet he also felt that her audacity was far too great for having risked herself like that, leaving him conflicted for a moment, unsure whether to strictly punish her or to let the matter rest lightly.

Seeing her father’s softening expression, Mo Yan was overjoyed and stated even more earnestly, "Father, I was reckless just this once. In the future, if I ever encounter such a situation again, I will certainly tell you first. If father allows it, then your daughter will do it; if father doesn’t allow it, your daughter will never act on her own!"
