Chapter 998: Chapter 998 Chang’an County Master Believes It’s Better to End the Pain Quickly (3)
As soon as Mo Yan heard this, she knew that the Commandery Princess truly disliked insincerity from others, and her fondness for the princess increased a little more, "Although it was Mo Yan who grew the high-yield rice, it was thanks to The Emperor’s wise and decisive action that it was distributed among the common folk. As for Hejia being sealed as a County Lord, that was already a great kindness from The Emperor."
Seeing her speak so earnestly, the Chang’an County Master was momentarily stunned, then laughed, "You really are content."
Mo Yan smiled faintly and sincerely said, "Contentment brings happiness." When she had brought out the high-yield rice, she had never thought about any reward. Given an honorable title and treasure lands of the Mo Family, what more could she ask for?
Yan Junyu, who dismounted his horse, looked at the two who had just met but were already chatting warmly, his expression somewhat helpless, yet he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This Tiger Mother had somehow found out he had been hiding at Mo Family’s place some days ago, and this time, when she knew he was coming again, insisted on following without refusal. He was worried that this fierce Tiger Mother might start fighting with that girl at the slightest disagreement. Now, seeing them converse so amiably, it was clear he had worried over nothing.
The two young women, unaware of what was going through Yan Junyu’s mind, found they got along even better as they spoke. Chang’an County Master slapped Mo Yan’s shoulder with sisterly ease and said without any reservation, "Quick, take me to see the fruits you’ve grown at home. The Commandery Princess loves grapes the most. You have some, right?"
"Yes! We picked a lot today, all fresh. The Commandery Princess, please follow Hejia this way." Watching the young girl’s sparkling eyes, the smile on Mo Yan’s face deepened, as she led the way.
The Chang’an County Master really loved grapes and followed without hesitation. When she saw the countless varieties of fruit in the courtyard, she was wide-eyed with excitement. She quickly made her way to the heaps of grapes, plucked a dark purple one, and quickly peeled and popped it into her mouth.
"Wow, these grapes are delicious!"
The flavorful and juicy grapes almost melted into a sweet liquid down her throat without the need to chew. Chang’an County Master exclaimed in surprise and quickly peeled a few more, finding them even more delicious than the grapes she had eaten last year.
Seeing her enjoy the grapes so much, Mo Yan picked up a cluster and offered it to Yan Junyu, saying with a grin, "As you can see, this year’s batch of fruit looks better than last year’s, and the taste is superior as well. We can’t price it lower than last year."
Yan Junyu took the full bunch of grapes, nibbled on one, and had to acknowledge that the taste indeed was better than last year’s, "Don’t worry, when these fruits are taken to Jing City, there will be lots of people vying for them. This batch will be supplied to the Imperial Palace first. The rest, picked tomorrow, will be sold to various residences, not for any less than the price offered to The Emperor."
Mo Yan believed Yan Junyu could deliver on his promise, and thinking about the incoming earnings, the smile on her face deepened. Seeing this, Yan Junyu’s expression darkened a bit, and even the taste of the grapes in his mouth seemed to fade.
Mo Yan called for the coachman brought by Yan Junyu to transport the fruits, while Chang’an County Master, holding a bunch of grapes, moved closer to Yan Junyu and nudged him with her elbow, "You have good taste; The Commandery Princess doesn’t feel wronged by the loss."
Yan Junyu tensed up, glancing sideways at the Commandery Princess and said with an insouciant air, "When have my tastes ever been poor? Just with the title that girl earned for herself, you’ve lost fair and square!"
"Ha!" The Chang’an County Master scoffed, with deep scorn in her big, round eyes, "I didn’t expect you to be such a coward, afraid to even admit you like her."
Yan Junyu’s eye twitched with irritation, "Even if I fell for a sow, it would be none of your business, Tiger Mother."
If any other woman were called a Tiger Mother, she would probably have exploded with anger by now, but Chang’an County Master seemed to be used to it, her expression unchanged, showing no sign of taking offense, "Then go ahead and fall for a sow. If Xiao Ruiyuan, that grim reaper, learns that you’re coveting his fiancee, I’m afraid you won’t even be worthy of that sow."
