Chapter 625: Chapter 625: The Space Detoxification Horror Upgrade (2)_1

Seeing Mo Yan’s sincere attitude, it was clear that she truly realized her mistake, and Mo Qingze’s expression softened slightly, though his voice was still very stern, "Knowing it was wrong yet you persisted, making a mistake on top of another mistake! If you knew it was wrong, why did you still do it?"

Mo Yan bowed her head, her face filled with helplessness. The real reason she couldn’t speak of at this moment⁠—should she tell another lie to explain?

After thinking it over, she dared not concoct too wild a story and quietly explained, "’The Buddha says saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda.’ Although that person is the distinguished Crown Prince, a slight misstep could bring trouble to his home, but after all, it is still a life. If the daughter has life-saving medicine in hand, and if I didn’t know about it, that would be fine, but knowing it and not offering it, I would never have peace of heart!"

As she spoke, she cautiously glanced at Mo Qingze and, seeing her father’s frown seemingly become even more severe, continued as if to remedy her words, "The greatest fault of your daughter wasn’t to save someone with the medicine, but rather that I didn’t consult with father before making this decision on my own."

Mo Qingze listened and actually believed this reason. He felt reassured by his daughter’s inherently good heart, yet he also felt that her audacity was far too great for having risked herself like that, leaving him conflicted for a moment, unsure whether to strictly punish her or to let the matter rest lightly.

Seeing her father’s softening expression, Mo Yan was overjoyed and stated even more earnestly, "Father, I was reckless just this once. In the future, if I ever encounter such a situation again, I will certainly tell you first. If father allows it, then your daughter will do it; if father doesn’t allow it, your daughter will never act on her own!"

Mo Qingze nodded slightly, appearing to believe her words. Just as Mo Yan thought the next moment her father would allow her to rise, he threw out another question that left her greatly troubled, "I have yet to hear of the Crown Prince being critically poisoned and in need of those three main ingredients for a cure. How did you come to know of this?"

This time, Mo Yan’s struggle lasted a bit longer. Under Mo Qingze’s scrutinizing gaze, she had no choice but to explain, "Does father still remember General Xiao? The last time he visited our home, your daughter inadvertently heard him discussing the matter with his attendant, and it remained in my memory. Later, when I went into the mountains, I was on the lookout for those medicinal herbs, never expecting that I would actually find them! Now, thinking it over, this probably is what people call destiny!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Qingze indeed recalled that last winter, General Xiao, who had saved their family on the road from disaster and later saved his daughter, had visited their home.

Yet, he still harbored some doubt, "The Crown Prince’s illness, although not a secret, is also not common knowledge. Even fewer people would know there is a cure for his poison. General Xiao is cautious and highly skilled in martial arts; how could he carelessly speak of such matters in public, allowing you to overhear, yet without noticing?"

Upon hearing this, cold sweat broke out on Mo Yan’s forehead, and she was completely awed by her father’s logical reasoning—it would make him a legendary detective in modern times!

Thinking that it had come to this, and she still had the mind to make jokes about her father, Mo Yan was utterly speechless with herself. Seeing the increasingly heavy look of suspicion on Mo Qingze’s face, she hurriedly explained, "Your daughter cannot be sure about that, perhaps General Xiao was too focused and failed to notice, or perhaps he did notice but thought that, as a farm girl, your daughter couldn’t stir up any trouble and therefore didn’t take it to heart!"

Having said that, she dared not raise her head to look at her father, for fear that the unnatural look on her face might deepen her father’s suspicions.

Mo Qingze indeed still harbored doubts, but guided by his trust in his daughter, he subconsciously convinced himself to believe her and restrained himself from voicing further questions.

Seeing Mo Qingze silent for a long time, Mo Yan cautiously lifted her head and caught her father’s gaze straight on! She immediately put on a flattering smile, speaking to please him, "Father, in your daughter’s heart, you are a kind and understanding father. Everything I’ve told you is the truth, and I know I was wrong. Please forgive your daughter this one time; I will never make the same mistake again!"
