Chapter 894: His Majesty’s Being Protective, Si Fuqing’s Face (1)
“Moreover, who allowed you to bring the little young master out?” Mo Chuyi didn’t spare Si Fuqing another glance, her voice icy. “He can’t speak now, and his hearing is impaired. Will you take responsibility if something happens?”
The guard’s face paled, and he quickly knelt down. “Please forgive me, Miss Chuyi.”
Mo Chuyi looked at Mo Chuxing, who continued assembling his hidden weapon without being disturbed by everything around him, and her brows furrowed deeply.
It was a joke that a direct descendant of the Mo family had developed aphasia due to excessive fright.
“Make sure to wipe your mouth after using the bathroom, otherwise what you say will sound unpleasant,” Si Fuqing said calmly. “Little friend, don’t you agree?”
Mo Chuxing paused for two seconds, then nodded.
Mo Chuyi stopped abruptly and turned sharply. “What did you say?”
Xi Jiang burst into laughter. “Others wipe their hands, you wipe your mouth. Did you eat something in there? What a peculiar hobby, little young master, don’t learn that.”
Mo Chuxing nodded again.
Mo Chuyi’s face turned livid, ready to scold them, but a guard hurried over and whispered, “Miss Chuyi, the honored guests from the In family have arrived. Young Master Chu’an is waiting for you.”
Hearing this, Mo Chuyi had no choice but to leave hastily, despite losing face.
Mo Chuxing ignored Mo Chuyi and tugged at Si Fuqing’s sleeve, handing her a pile of hidden weapon parts.
Si Fuqing sat down and quickly assembled a few throwing stars.
Mo Chuxing’s eyes lit up, and he made several gestures, then looked sternly at the guard.
The guard sighed and continued translating, “The young master says you’re very skilled. When he grows up, you two together would be a powerful team, and your offspring would have excellent genes.”
Xi Jiang was stunned.
Despite Mo Chuxing’s small age, he immediately took out his phone to report to Yu Xiheng.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Mo family estate, Mo Yanwen watched Si Fuqing and Mo Chuxing assembling hidden weapons from a distance. “Your Majesty, Miss Si has a talent for learning hidden weapons.”
Yu Xiheng, hands behind his back, chuckled lightly. “She learns everything quickly, except for certain things, where she doesn’t even have a concept.”
Mo Yanwen smiled. “No concept? Once you start teaching her personally, she’ll understand deeply.”
Yu Xiheng’s expression didn’t change, his eyes darkening slightly. “Deeply, indeed...”
Mo Yanwen hesitated before speaking again. “Your Majesty, this place is too far from the training ground. I couldn’t hear clearly, but it seems Miss Si had a verbal altercation with some of the main family members.”
“She won’t wrong herself, and I won’t wrong her,” Yu Xiheng said calmly. “But remember, from ancient times to now, I’ve never interfered in the struggles within the aristocratic families. The capable rise to the top. Yanwen, many in the Mo family are catching up to you. If you fall behind, your position won’t be secure.”
The internal struggles within noble families are not about right or wrong; they are merely a matter of differing positions.
To develop, conflict is inevitable.
The premise is that the conflict must be constructive.
Schemes and plots are permissible, but they must not be disgraceful or harm the common people.
This was Emperor Yin’s baseline.
Mo Yanwen understood this principle and solemnly replied, “I won’t disappoint Your Majesty.”
The Mo family’s current generation had many geniuses. If someone surpassed him, he would step down willingly.
“However, the Mo family doesn’t need heirs who think too highly of themselves.” Yu Xiheng continued to gaze downward. “It’s time for some lessons.”
Mo Yanwen nodded. “I understand.”

Meanwhile, Mo Chuyi and Mo Chu’an had arrived at the Elder Council’s residence.
The guard at the door stopped them. “Young Master Chu’an, Miss Chuyi, the great elder is currently meeting guests. You can’t enter now.”
Mo Chuyi frowned, unable to figure it out, and reluctantly returned to her duties.

Si Fuqing sat in the courtyard, her heart slightly tense.
After more than twenty years, she was unsure of the current situation within the In family.
However, in any large family, internal strife was inevitable, especially in a family comprised entirely of evolved beings like the In family.
If the person she saved yesterday happened to be on the opposite side of her father and uncle, things could get complicated.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
Si Fuqing came back to her senses. “Come in.”
The door was then pushed open, and the great elder entered first. “Miss Si, this is Old lady In. You saved her last night, and she has come to thank you.”
Old Lady In, unable to wait any longer, stepped in immediately.
Upon seeing Si Fuqing’s face, she was struck as if by lightning, standing there in shock, unable to speak.
The great elder was slightly surprised. “Old Lady?”
Could it be that Old Lady In had watched “Crossing the Demon Realm” and was a fan of Si Fuqing?
Evolved beings didn’t usually have such mundane hobbies.
Besides, even as a fan, she shouldn’t be this emotional.
“Great Elder,” Si Fuqing broke the silence with a smile. “Could you please give us some privacy?”
“Of course, of course,” the Great Elder said hurriedly. “My apologies. If you need anything, Miss Si, just call me.”
He stepped out, but reported the situation to Yu Xiheng.
The great elder only knew that Old Lady In was a member of the In family but was unaware of her exact status.
However, only an evolved being could handle another evolved being.
The door closed, leaving only three people in the courtyard.
In Qiushi stepped forward first to express gratitude once more. “Miss Si, thank you for your treatment. Our old lady’s health has returned to normal.”
“Mhmm,” Si Fuqing’s expression was calm. “But you didn’t come here just for this, did you?”
“Indeed, there’s something else,” In Qiushi hesitated slightly. “When we saw you last night, we felt you resembled someone we know.”
“Oh?” Si Fuqing raised her eyelashes. “Someone you know?”
According to Nian Tingchu, she resembled Nian Hechuan six parts, and the remaining four parts should be like her mother.
“You... do you know the name In Beichen?” Old Lady In finally regained her senses and cautiously asked.
Si Fuqing’s eyes narrowed. “What is your relation to him?”
This was Nian Hechuan’s real name.
Nian Tingchu had told her about it as well.
Back then, they had to change their names to avoid being hunted down. They had to abandon their real names but couldn’t forget them.
These names carried a deep-seated vendetta.
“I am his... his...” Old Lady In began to speak, tears streaming down her face.
In Qiushi’s eyes also reddened, his voice hoarse. “Old Lady is Young Master Beichen’s mother. Miss Si, do you know him? Or do you have any relation to him? This is very important to us.”
“Yes, I know him and have a relation,” Si Fuqing stared at Old Lady In for a full ten seconds, her expression relaxing as she slowly exhaled, “I am his daughter.”
After a brief pause, she softly called out, “Grandma.”
