Chapter 787: Marriage of Sorrow (4)_1
"Hmm, I’ve already asked the guards at the Ministry of Justice’s Prison to keep an eye out. The moment Mrs. Du shows up, they’ll come to my rice shop and inform me," Lizhong was thorough in his procedures, having spent a few Silver Coins to treat the jailers to a drink, and now they were on friendly terms with him.
Mo Yan had rescued Mrs. Du and repaid his life-saving debt. He lost the last bit of patience he had for her and had no intention of seeking her out again. He only reminded the Four Beasts to be aware of their surroundings and to chase away Mrs. Du immediately should she appear.
When it was time to rest for the night, Mo Yan received a letter from Xiao Ruiyuan, which had been delivered by Maomao.
After King Heng was placed under house arrest and the Lin Family fell, the Hidden Guards sent by Yan Junyu and Chu Heng had left the Mo family. Under Mo Yan’s strong insistence, Xiao Ruiyuan had no choice but to withdraw the Hidden Guards. Maomao found his place again and resumed his role as a messenger between them.
After tossing Maomao, who was constantly screaming for food, into the Space, Mo Yan sat down at his desk to read the letter. Only after reading did he discover that it was indeed Xiao Ruiyuan who had arranged for someone to take Mrs. Du away overnight. He had cast a spell to ensure she could never leave the county she was in and disturb the Mo Family’s life in Jing City.
Xiao Ruiyuan’s arrangements were very appropriate, leaving Mo Yan with no further concerns. Seeing the self-congratulatory tone between the lines, he couldn’t help but laugh. Decisively adopting the stance of a queen, he sent back a powerful and assertive reply, and sent Maomao, who had eaten and drunk his fill and did not want to leave, back overnight.
That night, Mo Yan slept peacefully without any dreams.

As the year drew to a close, the festive atmosphere thickened. In Liu Yang Village, households that were better off had already begun to prepare for the New Year festivities. Every day, ox carts filled to the brim with goods would be seen entering the village, making those who couldn’t afford to buy provisions for the New Year regret their situation deeply.
