Chapter 862 Turn of Events - A Marriage Proposal at the Door (4)
In the afternoon, the two returned home, their baskets full. However, one basket was filled with a variety of fresh flowers, while the other brimmed with several types of mushrooms.
No sooner had they descended the mountain than they saw a familiar carriage parked at the entrance of the courtyard. Both of them recognized it instantly—it was from the Liu Family.
A flash of worry crossed Mo Yan’s eyes, fearing that the Du Family was causing trouble again and that Mr. and Mrs. Liu had come to seek a moment of peace at their home.
Liu Tinglan also thought of this reason and couldn’t bother to say anything to Mo Yan. She pushed open the courtyard gate and rushed inside.
Seeing this, Mo Yan quickly followed, only to find the Liu Family’s coachman sitting in the hall; neither Mr. nor Mrs. Liu had come at all.
The moment the Liu Family coachman saw Liu Tinglan, he sprang up to greet her: "Miss, the master and the lady sent me to pick you up. Please pack your things and return with me now, they’re waiting!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Tinglan knew she had guessed wrong—had the Du Family caused a ruckus, her parents would have tried to stop it rather than hurriedly summon her home.
With this thought, Liu Tinglan breathed a sigh of relief. Without asking the coachman why her parents were in such a hurry, she said to Mo Yan, "Yanyan, my parents are urgently calling me back; something important must have happened at home. I’ll go first and come back to visit you once it’s settled."
Mo Yan did not try to detain her and understandingly said, "Hurry back. If anything comes up, just send a message, you can’t stay silent and endure it all alone like before."
"Yeah, with you, the County Lord, to support me, I won’t do something so foolish again!" Liu Tinglan playfully winked and cheerfully agreed.
However, Mo Yan remained uneasy. After Liu Tinglan had left, she released Maomao from the Space to keep an eye on the Liu Family’s affairs. If anything amiss arose, Maomao was to come back and report to her instantly.
