In the front hall.
Mo Wende cupped his hands in a salute, he did not dare look at Long Tianze's gloomy face, "Your Highness, my daughter is stubborn, please calm your anger."
"It's alright if the Miss Mo is stubborn, I hope Master Shang Shu is not as stubborn as before. Otherwise, it will not benefit your Minister's Mansion at all!" Long Tianze had long since lost her previous gentleness and elegance, and her eyes were shockingly cold.
Mo Wende lowered his head in agreement, cold sweat trickling down his forehead. It was only until Long Tianze's figure disappeared from the door that he managed to catch his breath.
It seems that this Ninth Prince was not as gentle and elegant as he normally was.
In the room.
Jiang Wan looked at his daughter's silent appearance, and felt so pained that he wanted to say something, "Yan, what did you do today …"
"Your daughter has already made up her mind about this matter. Mother, there is no need for you to persuade her." She didn't blame her parents for not understanding her. They would understand in the future.
"Yan, why must you do this?" Jiang Wan sighed, and pulled Mo Qingyan's hand, "Whatever, it's up to you. Who asked me to have such a daughter like you. "
Ah Nuo brought food in, "Miss, let's eat first, you haven't eaten for almost a day."
Mo Qingyan waved his hand, "Put it down, I'm not hungry." He turned around and said to Jiang Wan, "Mother, you should go see father first, don't let him lose his temper."
Seeing Ah Nuo winking at him, Mo Qingyan knew what she was planning. Her mother had loved her since she was young, and upon hearing that she would be hungry for a day, Mo Qingyan didn't even bother to scold her.
However, if her mother were to know that she was scheming like this, it would be unknown whether she would be blamed or not.
"Hungry if you don't eat! If you have the ability to do so, then don't eat for the rest of your life! " Mo Wende had just calmed himself down and walked to the door to hear these words, instantly causing his entire body to tremble.
"Master, Yan was impulsive, don't be angry yet, we can talk to her again." Jiang Wan tugged at Mo Qingyan, "Quickly apologize to your father!"
The stubbornness in Mo Qingyan's eyes did not decrease at all.
"Look!" Is she acting on impulse? " Mo Wende was angered to death by her, "She clearly wants to kill me so much that she isn't willing to give up!"
Mo Qingyan's heart ached. She also wanted to follow her father's words and agree to this marriage, but her memories of her previous life were so terrible that she couldn't jump into the fire pit again. She also couldn't drag down her entire Minister's Mansion.
Therefore, there was no room for retreat in this matter.
"Father, the woman is truly determined."
"Bastard!"
Mo Wende angrily slapped her right on her face, the clear sound startled everyone, even Mo Wende and Jiang Wan was stunned.
"Father, if Father feels that my daughter has lost her reputation, and that she is willing to die to save the face of the Minister's Mansion, I believe that Ninth Prince is also not willing to marry a dead wife."
"You … "Cough, cough, cough …" Mo Wende was so angry that he started to cough, his body swaying, he had never seen his daughter with such an unyielding character, "You're pissing me off!"
Mo Qingyan clenched her hands tightly, and her nails dug deep into her palms. The intense pain cleared her mind a little.
"Father, I am sorry, this time it is my daughter who is stubborn, but, if you are unwilling, then you are unwilling." Father, I am sorry, this time it is my daughter who is reckless, but if you are unwilling, then you are not.
Seeing that Mo Wende was still going to attack, Jiang Wan immediately went up to stop him, "Master, we can't fight anymore, Yan is our daughter!"
"I don't have such a disobedient daughter!" Seeing that her expression did not change, Mo Wende became even more furious in his heart, "Let go, I'm going to teach this bad girl a lesson!"
Mo Wende had been married to Jiang Wan for so many years and only had a single daughter under his command. It could be said that he really couldn't bear to fight her, but today, he was completely enraged as well.
"Madam, look at her appearance, how does she look like an unmarried lady?"
Mo Qingyan was startled for a moment, then calmly said: "Does father want a daughter who sacrificed herself for benevolence and righteousness, or a daughter who is truly blessed?"
"This... "You are trying to force the truth!"
Since young, Mo Wende had personally taught her how to read the book of sages, so Mo Qingyan naturally knew why he was so angry. He went straight to the point, "Father has been in the imperial court for so many years, and is well versed in matters of face and conscience. What do you think of Ninth Prince's character? Will he really treat his daughter well in the future? "
The rhetorical question made Mo Wende turn mute.
In the eyes of the Mo Qingyan of this matter, there was maturity and rationality that did not belong to her age. There were even some vicissitudes that made Mo Wende feel fear.
This feeling was like facing an elder who had seen through the world. But the person in front of him was obviously the daughter he had raised since he was young!
Mo Wende was not a foolish person, once she mentioned it, she understood what was going on. Taking a deep breath, she said with a cold face, "Back then, it was you who insisted on marrying Ninth Prince, but now you are blaming me for it?"
Knowing that her father had vented his anger, Mo Qingyan laughed, "It was my daughter who was willful and insensible before, but now that I know what I have entrusted to you, of course I can't go too far in this matter."
"But that is the royal family! Do you think marrying into the royal family is child's play? " Mo Wende said in a rough voice, "Now that we have already reached this step, it won't be that easy for us to go back on our words. Maybe Ninth Prince will enter the palace tomorrow to request for a marriage ceremony, our Minister's Mansion still doesn't have the guts to defy the decree!"
After all was said and done, even if Mo Wende knew his character, Mo Wende still did not have the guts to reject him.
"Father, this matter …"
"It's too late to say anything now, it's best for Ninth Prince to back off now. If he insists on marrying you, there's nothing I can do about it." Mo Wende flung his sleeves, and walked out with a cold face, "At that time, no matter how willful you are, our Minister's Mansion will suffer."
After he finished speaking, he did not even look at Mo Qingyan and quickly left.
The words that Mo Qingyan wanted to say stuck in his throat, made him heave a long sigh of relief. Her father was right. Since she rejected the marriage alliance with the royal family, it meant that she had been implicated in too many things. Now, she could only gamble her luck, hoping that the imperial edict from her previous life wouldn't come.
However, if nothing unexpected happened, the imperial edict would be delivered to the manor tomorrow morning.
What should she do?
"Yan, does it still hurt?"
Jiang Wan looked at her red and swollen face and felt his heart ache.
"Mom, don't worry. It won't hurt anymore." Mo Qingyan held his hands together on his knees as he crazily thought in his head. When he thought of the stinging sensation that came to him, he sighed, "It's not a big deal, if the decree comes, I'll marry him!"
Even if she couldn't change the path she had taken in her previous life, she would still end up with a different fate from this path!
