Chapter 1167: Chapter 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.

A couple of days later, Shen Ji and Liu Tinglan arrived bearing gifts.

Liu Tinglan looked radiant, her brows exuding the sweetness and charm of a newlywed. She was in perfect sync with Shen Ji, the couple exchanging tender glances that gave Mo Yan, for some reason, a strangely sour feeling.

After they finalized the specific time to visit Great Scholar Wu, Mo Yan couldn’t wait to take Liu Tinglan back to her room as soon as they managed to pry an overly affectionate Shen Ji away, eager to inquire about her friend’s married life.

A happy smile bloomed on Liu Tinglan’s face as she nodded, "Things are very good. My in-laws treat me well, and Brother Jin is very considerate towards me. Despite a bit of initial discomfort, I adjusted quite quickly—it feels just like being in my own home."

Mo Yan could tell her good friend was speaking the truth and felt happy for her, "That’s great to hear. I was worried you wouldn’t get used to it. Now that you’re back in Jing City, we can meet up more often."

"Exactly, I can come over whenever I miss you," Liu Tinglan replied with particular joy. Back in her family home, her parents wouldn’t let her roam freely; now that she was married, without in-laws to attend to, she was even more free than when she had been a maiden.

"Ha-ha! You could even stay here every day, it wouldn’t be a problem. These last two months without you, I haven’t had a soul to confide in," Mo Yan laughed heartily, delighted at the prospect.

Liu Tinglan shook her head emphatically, "Don’t even joke about it! I’m afraid Brother Jin would carry me and his newly-furnished house right over here."

"Tsk, I always knew Brother Shen was gentle and kind, but I never imagined him to be so clingy. Once you have a child, he’ll probably fight with the child for your affection," Mo Yan teased, also pleased with the couple’s deep affection. They were quite fortunate to have met the right person at the right time.

Liu Tinglan’s cheeks blushed with shyness, but she retorted fiercely, "Let him dare! Once we have a child, he can go wherever it’s cool and stay there."

Mo Yan smiled without comment, knowing that most married couples tended to shift a significant portion of their attention to their children once they arrived, and their romance would gently fade. Yet, with a child as a bond, their marriage would often become more stable than just love alone.

The friends joked and laughed with each other, as though reverting to the carefree days of their youth.

"By the way, Lu Zhu hasn’t been causing trouble again, has she? That woman is somewhat clever and is the direct niece of your in-laws. If she dares to play tricks, you might not be her match," Mo Yan suddenly sat up on the bed, recalling Lu Zhu, the greatest threat to her good friend.
