Chapter 973: Chapter 973: Good Feelings (2)

"Lady, please rise!" Mo Yan regained her composure and hurried to her feet to help: "I indeed sheltered Master Cui, but Master Cui has already repaid his debt with labour, so we are even. There’s no need for such formality."

Upon hearing this, Cui Qingrou’s expression grew even more gentle: "I know Ping An’s temperament all too well, I fear he must have caused County Lord some trouble. The fact that County Lord sheltered him is undeniable, for others may not necessarily treat Ping An as well as County Lord has."

She considered herself well-versed in reading people, how could she not tell whether the young girl before her was speaking truthfully or merely providing lip service!

When she first saw Ping An completely disguised as a peasant, it’s true that she felt somewhat uncomfortable, but at the moment Ping An saw her and the smile that only appeared back at the plantation in the South surfaced on his face, she knew her nephew must be very happy living with the Mo Family, and her heart suddenly filled with gratitude towards them.

Ping An had no relation to the Mo Family, yet their willingness to shelter him was a tremendous act of kindness, and they were not obliged to be good to him. It was only right for Ping An to do what little he could. She could see her nephew had not been mistreated at the Mo Family, and he even appeared stronger than before. Just this alone was enough to fill her with endless gratitude toward the Mo Family.

Seeing that Cui Qingrou truly didn’t mind, Mo Yan finally felt less embarrassed and said with a smile, "Master Cui is of a pure and kind nature, even if he hadn’t met me, he would have encountered other kind-hearted people, and he has been very diligent, causing no trouble at all for my family."

Although he was a bit pretentious at first, his nature was indeed good, and he was willing to listen. After living with us for nearly a month, there wasn’t a single person in the household who disliked him.

While Cui Pingan, who originally disliked his aunt speaking of him in such a way, heard Mo Yan actually praising him, he was immediately flattered and looked at his aunt with a face full of pride.

Watching her nephew’s childish behaviour, Cui Qingrou laughed helplessly, her heart filled with even greater gratitude towards Mo Yan.

Knowing that the aunt and nephew hadn’t seen each other for a long time and had much to discuss, Mo Yan politely made a few remarks, then excused herself on the pretext of having things to do, leaving the space for them.

As soon as Mo Yan left, Cui Pingan could not wait to ask, "Aunt, how did you find this place?" He didn’t suspect Mo Yan had secretly informed the Cui family, because if Mo Yan wanted him to leave, she would have directly spoken up, rather than going through such trouble.

Cui Qingrou, with affection, stroked her nephew’s head and shared the truth: "It was Young Master Yan who told your Count uncle, that’s how we knew."

The moment Cui Pingan heard this, he clenched his fists angrily: "I knew that guy was no good, always picking on me before, and even now he tries to sell me out after leaving, it’s absolutely detestable!"

Upon hearing this, Cui Qingrou asked anxiously, "Did Young Master Yan bully you? What exactly happened?"

Yan Junyu’s reputation in the capital wasn’t very good. Although he wasn’t known for bullying men and women, which could be a more notorious reputation, he wasn’t considered good either. There wasn’t a playboy in the capital he hadn’t dealt with. Still, in the eyes of the world, he was the biggest playboy, so Cui Qingrou’s concern about Yan Junyu potentially harming her nephew was understandable.

"No, not at all, that guy stayed here for a few days and just liked to make snide remarks at me. I wanted to stay here a bit longer, but he went and told you my whereabouts without thinking twice." Cui Pingan, caring about his dignity, was reluctant to disclose the various ways Yan Junyu had oppressed him.

Seeing her nephew’s sincere demeanor, Cui Qingrou was reassured, then poked his forehead reproachfully: "You left home without a word, your grandmother and Count uncle have been worried sick, they haven’t had a good night’s sleep since. Here you are, enjoying yourself without a single thought of home, heartless child!"

Cui Pingan’s expression shifted instantly, and he became anxious: "Aunt, is grandmother, is grandmother alright?" He remembered that on the day he left home, his grandmother had been furious.
