Chapter 972: Good Feelings (1)
News of Cui Pingan taking refuge in the Mo family was leaked to the Cui family by Yan Junyu.
As soon as this scoundrel returned home, he was severely reprimanded by Duke Wu’an, not to mention that the Chang’an County Master took her long whip and left the palace in the middle of the night to give him another harsh lashing.
Yan Junyu was highly skilled in martial arts and was not someone who could be easily defeated by the Chang’an County Master. However, with Duke Wu’an standing by, and several Imperial guards assisting, he could only resort to passive defense. It was no surprise that he received a beating.
Yan Junyu’s days were tough, and he had no way of dealing with his grandfather and the Chang’an County Master. In his depression, upon learning that Cui Pingan was still staying peacefully in the Mo family, he disclosed the matter to Grand Master Cui out of a sense of unfairness.
After receiving Cui Pingan’s letter of safety, the Cui family had not given up on searching for him. Grand Master Cui was concerned for his nephew’s safety but never thought he would be at the foot of the Imperial City. He immediately informed Old Lady Cui of this matter.
Old Lady Cui was naturally overjoyed. Initially, she had thought to let her grandson play outside for a while before bringing him back if he was doing well. However, almost a month had passed without finding him, and if it weren’t for the letters arriving every five days, she would have almost thought something had happened to him.
Having waited so long, her longing for her grandson had overwhelmed her previous intentions. Upon learning the specific whereabouts of her grandson, she immediately instructed her eldest son to bring him back.
