After Mo Qingyan finished instructing everyone on what to do, he sat in his room alone, thinking about something.
In the past few days, Mo Qingyan always felt that he was extremely tired for some unknown reason. Even if he was pinched by a servant, it would be useless. Looks like I really should make a trip to the Gongji Temple.
"Yan!" He Lanyi was stunned for a moment when he suddenly heard He Lanyi's incomparably anxious call for help from outside the door. For a moment, he even thought he was hallucinating.
He Lanyi only stood up after he hurriedly pushed open the door and entered. Lanyi, why are you still here? " Mo Qingyan immediately went to welcome him.
"Yan, such a big thing happened, why didn't you tell me? Are you not treating me as a sister? " He Lanyi felt really depressed in his heart.
A few days ago, he had been locked up in his daughter's room with his parents. Even the maidservant didn't want to talk to him anymore. This was not the first time, so He Lanyi did not feel anything.
If he wasn't unable to hold it in anymore, he would have found a reason to sneak out. He probably didn't know that the city's rumors had already spread far and wide.
"Lanyi, today, I will follow father into the palace. This matter has already been investigated. You do not have to worry too much. " Mo Qingyan laughed.
He Lanyi was still fuming, but she was still extremely dissatisfied with this matter. After all, she had always thought of Mo Qingyan as her true sister, but she didn't expect that Mo Qingyan would still keep it a secret from her.
Even though he knew this was for his own good, He Lanyi still could not suppress the anger in his heart. Mo Qingyan couldn't help but find it funny when he saw her like this.
He extended his finger and poked He Lanyi's cheeks that was so angry that it seemed like his cheeks were about to burst out, and then smiled apologetically: "Alright, my young miss! Don't be angry, okay? I know I was wrong, I definitely won't be in the future. "
"That's more like it. I'm not going to argue with you." Even if it was all a ruckus, He Lanyi still knew what to do. Therefore, once Mo Qingyan gave in, she went down the stairs.
"Lanyi, did you not sneak out again today?" Mo Qingyan frowned, and looked at He Lanyi with a serious expression. The latter shrank back in response to her gaze.
With an embarrassed smile, He Lanyi's voice even weakened quite a bit. "Yan, you know my father as well. "He's always been unwilling to let me go out, but how can I hold it in?"
Mo Qingyan sighed, and did not say anything more.
In his previous life, He Lanyi had this kind of personality. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to change it even if he wanted her to.
But there was nothing bad about that, at least he had the ability to protect He Lanyi in this life. The two of them talked a lot more, losing track of time as they talked.
Ah Nuo had already been back for quite a while, so she did not disturb the two as they chatted happily. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he prepared dinner for the two ladies.
"Miss, Miss He. It's time to have dinner, why don't we continue our conversation after dinner? " Ah Nuo came in and smiled as he spoke with the two ladies.
Only then did He Lanyi react, and raised his head to look outside the window. The sky was already half dark. He couldn't help but cry out, "Hey, it's already dark!"
He Lanyi was dejected, she bitterly laughed as she looked at Mo Qingyan: "If I go back today, I will definitely be punished, I'm afraid I will not be able to see you again for quite some time."
"Then why haven't you gone back yet! How about I send you on your way? " Mo Qingyan looked at He Lanyi in anger but also found it funny. He Lanyi curled his lips.
"You'd better not, otherwise my father will nag you too. I'll bear it myself and grind the calluses on your ears. "
He Lanyi said with a smile, her father was really too nagging. Often, once He Lanyi was educated, he would forget about the time. It wasn't like Mo Qingyan didn't know either.
"Little girl, you only know how to talk big all day. It's no wonder that uncle wants to teach you well. " Mo Qingyan pretended to be angry.
"Ah, my Yan. Don't talk about me. I'll listen to you all the time. I'm serious, I've got calluses in my ears. "
"He Lanyi playfully looked at Mo Qingyan and even reached out her hand to shake Mo Qingyan's arm. "You!" Mo Qingyan shook his head helplessly and pointed at He Lanyi's nose.
"No, I will definitely stay here and have dinner with you today. Since he wouldn't be able to escape if he went back, he might as well go back later. What's more, Ah Nuo has prepared this with utmost care for me! "
He Lanyi said while grinning, but before he could step out of the door. The attendant outside the door then sent a message. "Miss, the Lord He's carriage has arrived. They said they were here to pick up miss. "
Mo Qingyan was startled for a moment, then when he looked at He Lanyi who had a face full of tears, he could not help but burst out laughing.
"That's great. There's no need for dinner."
"Yan! "You're still laughing at me." He Lanyi looked at Mo Qingyan pitifully, but Mo Qingyan had no other choice. She wasn't afraid of the Lord He, but she was a kind father after all.
"Alright, you should head back earlier. Don't let Lord He wait so long. " Mo Qingyan released her hand from He Lanyi's hand and smiled at her.
"Okay, then I'll go back first. Yan, I will accompany you to the Gongji Temple in a few days. You must not go alone, do not wait for me! "
When He Lanyi found out that Mo Qingyan was going to burn incense in the Gongji Temple, he insisted on going with Mo Qingyan. How could Mo Qingyan bear with her pestering him, he could only agree.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely wait for you." Mo Qingyan sent He Lanyi out of the Minister's Mansion gate and indeed saw a carriage.
"Alright, Yan. "Then I'll leave first." He Lanyi looked at Mo Qingyan with reluctance, as if he was extremely reluctant to leave this place.
"Mm, goodbye." Mo Qingyan waved towards He Lanyi and watched the horse carriage go into the distance before he turned around and returned to the manor. Are both my father and mother in the dining room? "
Mo Qingyan turned and asked Ah Nuo, Ah Nuo shook his head and said, "Master said that he has been busy with matters regarding Miss. I've forgotten about Madam, I'm bringing Madam out to eat today. "
Ah Nuo said, with a face full of envy.
Mo Qingyan was startled, and then laughed bitterly. His father normally looked like a decent kid, but in front of his mother, he always looked like a kid.
No wonder today, his mother hadn't come looking for him all day. Knowing that Lanyi had come, they didn't even come to deliver pastries.
However, there was nothing bad about it. He was rather envious of his parents' love. It would be even better if he didn't have the help of those two.
"Alright, then I can only eat by myself today." Mo Qingyan said with a smile, then followed the Ah Nuo towards the dining hall.
