Chapter 1288 - 403: Instant Fame and Taking Advantage_2
How could such a person catch the eye of the Chang’an County Master?
It was precisely because the Chang’an County Master was too fierce, disliked by men and feared by women, that upon witnessing the intimate scene between Mo Yan and the Chang’an County Master, people speculated whether Princess Hejia might be as formidable as the Chang’an County Master, perhaps their "similar interests" were the reason they got along so well.
Mo Yan did not care what others thought. She took the Chang’an County Master over to Cui Qingrou and formally introduced, "Chang’an, this is my mother! Mother, this is the Chang’an County Master, my friend."
The words "my friend" seemed to touch something in the Chang’an County Master’s heart. She looked at Cui Qingrou, whose face was tenderly watching her, and unexpectedly, there was no hint of her usual superiority or disdain she showed before other ladies, and she obediently called out "Auntie."
"Good, good, such a sensible child! This is a gift for meeting you; if you don’t disdain it, please accept it." Cui Qingrou said with a loving expression, sliding a blood jade bracelet off her wrist onto the Chang’an County Master’s hand.
Cui Qingrou had never met the Chang’an County Master before but had often heard others speak of the first county master of the royal family, and she had not had a good impression of her. But seeing is believing, and that call to "Auntie" immediately overturned her previous superficial understanding and made her see the Chang’an County Master in a new light.
The Chang’an County Master stared blankly at the blood jade bracelet in her hand. As a princess of the imperial family, the so-called meeting gifts she had received were countless, and many were more precious than this bracelet, but this was the first time she had felt such happiness.
"Mother, I’ve long coveted this bracelet. I never thought you’d give it away to Chang’an! Had I known, I would have pretended not to see her." Mo Yan looked enviously at the bracelet in the Chang’an County Master’s hand, playfully stretching out her hand as if ready to snatch it.
