Chapter 1252: Chapter 393: Never Come Back, Conflict_4

Cui Qingrou, who had been holding back her tears, suddenly wept uncontrollably. She bit her lower lip fiercely, refusing to let herself cry out loud. Her tears dropped onto the ground, blooming into little flowers as they spread.

A warm and strong hand reached out and grasped hers. Feeling the tremble in her palm, Mo Qingze straightened his back and stared resolutely at Old Lady Cui, his firmness on his face deeply moving. "Mother, for the rest of my life, I shall never let Qingniang down!"

Old Lady Cui looked at their clasped hands, tears streaming down her face. "Good, good, good!"

...

Mo Yan went to check the kitchen and, seeing no issues, hurried back to the wedding hall to make sure everything was in order. Relaxing a little, she asked, "Grandfather Li, my father and the others are on their way, right? Shouldn’t we start preparing for the bowing ceremony?"

Lizhong looked at her with a hint of pity and advised, "Yan girl, I’ve arranged everything. When your father returns from fetching the bride, you can proceed with the bowing ceremony. Please take a rest!"

Having been busy for several days, Mo Yan was indeed feeling a bit of fatigue, but not to the extent of needing a rest. "Then I’ll go entertain the guests first, to avoid any discourtesy."

With that, Mo Yan rushed to the back courtyard. There were too many guests today; the rooms could not accommodate everyone. The families with good relations in the village were mostly gathered in the front courtyard. Officials who came to offer congratulations and their families were arranged in the back courtyard, where the scenery was pleasant and spacious, and good tea and snacks were served courteously.

Most of these officials held relatively low ranks and knew better than to complain, as they understood that the head of the Mo family was busy with the wedding. With the County Lord in charge and being the future Lady Marquis, they didn’t have the audacity to show discontent.

Upon arriving at the back courtyard, Mo Yan found herself surrounded by a group of ladies and young misses.

They were here not only to congratulate but also to forge connections. Not to mention the distance, just by the Mo family becoming in-laws with the Cui family, their status had significantly elevated. No one dared to underestimate the Cui family’s social network. If they could relate themselves to the Cui family through the Mo family, this visit would be well worth it.

Mo Yan was keenly aware of these people’s ulterior motives and handled them adeptly, but even playing Tai Chi was tiring, so when Tang Xin seemed anxious as she approached, Mo Yan immediately excused herself with "urgent matters to attend to" and left the backyard with Tang Xin.

"Sister Yanyan, Xin Er got into an argument with a miss, and they almost came to blows. You must come quickly!" Tang Xin dragged Mo Yan in a panic towards Xin Er’s courtyard.

Many children had come today, and Mo Yan had asked Xin Er and Shengsheng to entertain the young girls, while Zhenzhen and Yun Zhao looked after the young boys.

"What happened? How did they start arguing to the point of almost fighting?" Mo Yan’s heart tightened. As she hastened towards Xin Er’s courtyard, she inquired about the details.

Upon hearing this, Tang Xin’s expression grew even darker, "This matter, it was entirely that miss’s fault. She somehow heard, heard..." As she spoke, she looked at Mo Yan and suddenly didn’t know how to continue.

Mo Yan’s thoughts quickly turned, and she guessed what the young girl might have said, her expression turning grim.

Xin Er was always good-natured. Even if someone spoke unpleasantly, at most she would retort and let it pass. To make her angry, and even nearly resort to fighting, clearly, the young girl had mentioned something Xin Er was sensitive about.

Other than that incident, Mo Yan couldn’t think of anything else that would be so taboo to Xin Er!
