Chapter 1167 - 371: Identity Revealed
Knowing he couldn’t outargue his eldest daughter who was ever ready with a convincing rationale, Mo Qingze deftly shifted the conversation to other matters, "A few days ago, Yun Jin specially came to the Scholar Mansion to look for dad, saying that he has been busy preparing household items recently. In a couple of days, he will come over with Maid Lan to express his gratitude in person."
Upon hearing this, Mo Yan’s face showed a hint of joy, "It just so happens to be a leisurely time right now; when they come, we’ll have Sister Lan stay at our home for a few days to rest."
Shen Ji and Liu Tinglan had originally planned to arrive in Jing City in mid-April, but Father Shen and Mother Shen didn’t want the newlyweds to rent someone else’s house, so they took it upon themselves to find a house for sale in the Eastern Market of Jing City. Even if there was no need for it later, it could be sold, ensuring no loss.
However, houses in Jing City were easy to rent but hard to buy, especially in the Eastern Market where demand was high. The Shen family wasn’t exceedingly wealthy; they couldn’t afford a house that was too large or too luxurious. They searched for nearly a month until just a few days ago when they found a house that was barely suitable and decided to buy it, spending a considerable amount of money.
In recent days, the couple had been busy setting up their home and purchasing household items, leaving them no time to visit the Mo Family.
"You can handle these arrangements, just remember to mention it to Great Scholar Wu in advance," Mo Qingze said with some concern, fearing that his daughter had not informed Great Scholar Wu and might bring people directly to him without his consent.
"Dad, do you really see me as so unreliable?" Mo Yan responded with slight exasperation, "After returning from the Shen family, I already mentioned it to Great Scholar Wu. He values personal character more than academic knowledge. It was he who took the initiative to meet Brother Shen."
After hearing this, Mo Qingze was relieved, "If that’s the case, remind Yun Jin when they come that day."
Mo Yan nodded. When it came to matters that could affect her future, she wouldn’t be careless.
The father and daughter chatted for a while, then sat down at the chessboard, preparing for a lengthy battle of three hundred rounds. Alas, Mo Yan’s chess abilities remained as dismal as ever, without the slightest improvement, frustrating Mo Qingze to no end. After three games, he shooed a disheartened Mo Yan away and closed the door to play chess against himself.
