Chapter 708: Numerous Obstacles - The Ending of Mo Yongxi (1)_1
As Chu Heng left, Mr. Liu, Han Zhiyun, and others secretly let out a sigh of relief, and their tense nerves gradually relaxed. No matter how humble and approachable Chu Heng was, his status was there, and no one dared to act recklessly in front of him.
Mr. Liu and Han Zhiyun were quite curious about the connection between the Mo Family and Chu Heng. Since Mo Qingze was leading Chu Heng and his people and was not present, they turned to inquire with Mo Yan.
Mo Yan fleshed out the previous explanations she had given to the villagers, adding a bit of polish, as the truth intertwined with lies were often hardest to distinguish.
After hearing her explanation, both also felt the coincidence was too great but harbored no suspicions. They were aware that Mo Yan was the Crown Prince’s lifesaver, but whether that was good or bad, no one could say for sure. If possible, maintaining distance from the Crown Prince was the wisest course of action.
A good while later, Mo Qingze returned to the main hall to continue entertaining the guests, while Xiao Ruiyuan and Yan Junyu stayed in the guest room and did not come over.
"Father, why were you gone so long? Was there something amiss?" Mo Yan saw her father had been away for such a long time and wondered if there was something wrong in the guest room, so she casually asked.
Mo Qingze’s complexion shifted slightly, and the smile on his face was somewhat forced, "The Crown Prince asked me some questions which led to a delay, there was nothing improper."
Mo Yan gave her father a thoughtful look and saw him shift his gaze away uncomfortably, then she smiled and said, "That’s good then."
With Mo Qingze, the head of the household, present, Mo Yan confidently went to the kitchen, where she saw that most of the dishes were ready and would be served as soon as the appointed time arrived.
Just then, Liu Tinglan approached Mo Yan with a flushed face, and after hemming and hawing for quite some time, was unable to articulate a complete sentence.
