Chapter 1004: Chapter 1004: Disturbance (1)

Yan Junyu was not a petty man; in fact, he could be described as having a broad mind, but in front of the Chang’an County Master, he seemed like a different person—acerbic and easily ruffled, showing none of the transcendental poise he exhibited in front of others.

The pattern of interaction between him and the Chang’an County Master was also quite peculiar, hardly resembling that of childhood friends who had grown up together; instead, they were more like a pair of "deeply resentful" adversaries.

Mo Yan had no clear understanding of the grudge between Yan Junyu and the Chang’an County Master, but she could tell that Yan Junyu harbored no romantic feelings the Chang’an County Master. However, the affection in the eyes of the Chang’an County Master did not seem feigned, only well concealed by her fierce demeanor, impossible to detect without close attention.

No woman would be foolish enough to risk her lifelong happiness to take revenge on a man who had once played tricks on her. If she did, it would only mean that the man had a place in her heart and that she used a poor excuse to mask the modesty of a young lady!

Clearly, the Chang’an County Master had no intention of revealing her true feelings to Yan Junyu, and since Mo Yan had just met her, albeit with a good impression, she was not going to meddle in someone else’s emotional affairs.

Watching the two of them bicker endlessly at the dining table, and to prevent them from starting a fight and flipping the table at the slightest disagreement, she decisively released the Five Beasts from the Space—excluding the Red Python, which was too intimidating and had been rejected—to crack jokes and distract the pair with their antics in between them.

As expected from the lovable Rui Beasts, the Chang’an County Master, who already had a fondness for animals, was quickly charmed by the clever and agile Five Beasts, soon focusing solely on feeding them and forgetting all about Yan Junyu.

After the meal, as darkness completely fell, Yan Junyu and the Chang’an County Master stayed a while longer, then said their goodbyes and left. However, just as they stepped outside the Mo Family’s main gate, they started quarreling again, and their mocking voices could still be faintly heard on the light night breeze even as they rode away.

Powerless in this situation, Mo Yan could only pray that they wouldn’t come to blows on the road. Her head ached from their loud quarreling, but good news arrived from Cui Pingan.

"This young man has finally got his wish!" Mo Yan said to Xue tuanzi with a relieved face, after reading a letter from Cui Pingan.

Having rested for several days, Cui Pingan’s health had almost returned to its state before his illness. Aside from some memory confusion, his mental state was also surprisingly improving day by day, and he had even taken the time to write a letter of thanks to Mo Yan.

In the letter he had just sent, his words brimmed with joy because Old Lady Cui no longer insisted that he marry his maternal cousin, but had agreed to bring his beloved from Yuan City. As long as the girl named Fangcao could gain Old Lady Cui’s approval, Old Lady Cui was not willing to play the villain who breaks up lovers and was prepared to bless them.

While Fangcao’s social status was a problem, status itself is both important and not; compared to Cui Pingan’s happiness for the rest of his life, it was completely inconsequential.

True lovers would become united, and Mo Yan was genuinely happy for Cui Pingan. However, at the end of his letter, Cui Pingan also expressed his concerns. He worried that since his beloved had a lowly status, Princess Fuyun would take advantage of her without hesitation. If that were the case, he couldn’t think of a way to help his beloved escape such circumstances.

It didn’t matter that Princess Fuyun was a daughter of the Imperial Family and a Senior Princess; even if she weren’t, as his stepmother, she had every right to teach a concubine’s son’s wife. As long as everything appeared proper on the surface, no one would criticize. Princess Fuyun was skillful in many ways; otherwise, she wouldn’t have caused the suffering of Cui Pingan’s own mother, who was born a Mistress of an Official Family!

To this, Mo Yan had no good advice to offer. For now, as long as Old Lady Cui was willing to protect them, Princess Fuyun wouldn’t dare to be too presumptuous. But this wasn’t a long-term solution, unless Old Lady Cui lived longer than Princess Fuyun, or unless they found something that could threaten Princess Fuyun’s life and strip her of her exalted status as a Senior Princess. But did Princess Fuyun really have such a weakness?
