Chapter 997: Chapter 997 Chang’an County Master Believes It’s Better to End the Pain Quickly (2)

Mo Yan heaved a silent sigh. She had wanted to tell Big Sister Dani that the person wouldn’t come and not to wait, yet seeing the expectant face of the young girl, she found herself unable to utter those words. Instead, she told the truth, "He’ll probably come, he said before that he would."

Big Sister Dani’s eyes suddenly brightened, and a shy blush appeared on her somewhat pale face. She ran outside while saying, "Yan girl, I’ll go home and pick up the clothes, and then I’ll come back for dinner later."

Mo Yan knew exactly why Big Sister Dani was hurrying home, and her heart swelled with a bitter feeling. She almost wished she could tell Yan Junyu about Big Sister Dani’s admiration right now, to let him speak for himself and completely shatter the last thread of hope in Big Sister Dani’s heart.

Shortly after Big Sister Dani left, Yan Junyu arrived at the Mo Family, bringing along two or three dozen horse carriages.

This time, Yan Junyu did not ride in his usual purple carriage that resembled a broom, but came atop a pure white steed, looking truly dashing and extraordinary.

Mo Yan, however, paid no attention to Yan Junyu, who was greeting her from atop his horse. Her gaze fell on a woman riding a black horse beside him, standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

The woman was no more than twenty-eight years of age, with a round little face adorned with a pair of large, round eyes, a small, rosy mouth, and a round yet prominent nose... in short, her features were highly pleasing. Even though this was their first meeting, and Mo Yan knew nothing about her, she felt an immediate liking for the woman.

The woman was not very tall, but her figure was elongated and appeared curvaceous in her tight riding attire, which gave her otherwise sweet face a dose of toughness. It was clear to any discerning observer that this woman had a bold personality, far from the innocence her appearance might suggest.

Before Mo Yan could step forward to greet her, the young woman sprightly dismounted, her demeanor confident and impressive, inspiring immediate admiration.

The girl examined Mo Yan with an inquisitive gaze, and her expression softened as she seemed to come to a realization, volunteering her identity, "You must be the one personally honored by the Imperial Uncle with the title of Princess Hejia, aren’t you? Well, I am the Royal County Princess decreed by the Imperial Uncle, Chu Yue, of the surname Chu. Since our rank levels are comparable, there’s no need for us to exchange formalities."

The Chang’an County Master?

A flicker passed through Mo Yan’s eyes. She had learned from Xiao Ruiyuan the true reason behind Yan Junyu’s unexpected visit to Jing City. Had it not been for Qing’er overhearing, she would never have guessed that such a sweet-faced girl was the Chang’an County Master, who was pressuring Yan Junyu into marriage.

However, this Chang’an County Master was rather interesting. Having been in Jing City for several years, this was the first time she encountered someone who cared so little for propriety. This Chu Yue had a straightforward nature, and it was rare that she didn’t look down on Mo Yan, who came from humble beginnings, simply because she was a Royal County Princess born into the Imperial Family. This alone made her difficult to dislike.

Since the Chang’an County Master had put it this way, obviously disliking those formalities and etiquette, Mo Yan genuinely did not approach to pay her respects but simply smiled at her and said very naturally, "Since the Commandery Princess has spoken thus, I respectfully comply."

Upon hearing this, the Chang’an County Master seemed very pleased, and her smile grew much more genuine, "Indeed, you are a good one. No wonder the Imperial Uncle and my cousin, the Crown Prince, always speak so highly of you."

Mo Yan didn’t believe that the sovereign of a country and the Crown Prince had the leisure to discuss her with this princess, yet as the saying goes, guests must be treated with respect. Hence, she couldn’t very well refute the claims and replied with utmost humility, "I am merely graced by the kindness of The Emperor and Crown Prince, but what merit or ability do I possess!"

The Chang’an County Master waved her hand, speaking earnestly, "You developed high-yield rice, which will spare tens of thousands of people from hunger. Such an accomplishment hardly justifies only conferring you the title of a County Lord. Had you been a man, you might have even been granted a Count’s title without question. Being so modest is quite uninteresting."
