Suddenly, a guard appeared behind Eunuch Mo. It was Ma Wucai, the deputy commander of the guards by the Third Prince's side, who was responsible for protecting Eunuch Mo and the imperial edict.

Issuing an imperial edict for a woman? What a disgrace to the Qingli Kingdom!

Ma Wucai harbored resentment and, ignoring Eunuch Mo's advice, shouted angrily at Mo Qingcheng's door.

Mo Qingcheng and Bai Yueniang had just reached the gate when they heard Ma Wucai's unfriendly words, which they ignored.

"Eunuch Mo, you must be tired from your journey. This humble woman greets you." Mo Qingcheng stepped forward and bowed slightly.

Eunuch Mo's lips twitched, and he said politely, "Madam Mo is too kind. I dare not accept such praise. Please arrange for the receipt of the imperial decree, Madam Mo!"

"Thank you, Eunuch Mo! Thank you, Lord Qi!"

Qi Yuanwei: "..."

Was this magistrate just here to observe? Why are you only noticing now?

This is outrageous!

A smile crept across Eunuch Mo's lips; he finally saw Qi Yuanwei get his comeuppance… Could this kid be…?

Qi Yuanwei snorted coldly, glared fiercely at Eunuch Mo, and felt a chill in his heart. Why was it this evil star who came to deliver the imperial decree?

Mo Qingcheng washed and changed her clothes before receiving the imperial decree. During the waiting period, Bai Yueniang personally served tea and snacks to everyone.

Mu Wanqing was exceptionally enthusiastic, which made Eunuch Mo beam with joy...

Mo Qingcheng pushed open the door, thinking she was seeing things. Qing'er... she really had some skills...

The villagers were already in an uproar. Li Changgeng and Sun Yunhui, supporting the two old clan elders, came together.

Old Man Bai and Baili Fengyun came together to watch the excitement.

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees... Mo Qingcheng is hereby granted the title of Lady Ruyi, with the official rank of sixth grade, and a manor. So be it!"

"Long live the Emperor!" Mo Qingcheng lowered her eyes and rolled them. This instructor doesn't want this lady, so why does she always have to kneel down to him?

Everyone stood up, a glint of excitement flashing in Bai Yueniang's eyes. The manor... Sister Mo now has a lady of the royal estate...

Haha, doesn't this mean I'm Lady Ruyi's sister?

Sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone, but I wonder who will pay for the construction of the manor?

"Eunuch Mo, please, you must be tired from your journey. Have some hot tea." Mo Qingcheng gestured for him to enter.

A hint of interest flashed in Eunuch Mo's eyes: "Madam Ruyi, the money for building the manor... will be provided by Lord Qi."

"Pfft!" Qi Yuanwei really wanted to spit a mouthful of blood onto Eunuch Mo's face.

I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless.

Mo Qingcheng nodded: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty! Thank you for your generosity, Lord Qi! Thank you for your understanding, Eunuch Mo!"

Eunuch Mo: "..."

Qi Yuanwei: "..."

The old butler: "..."

The little ones: "..."

Old Man Bai: "..."

Bai Yueniang belatedly realized that Eunuch Mo had embezzled money from her sister; what a kind person he was!

Qi Yuanwei's eyes were dark and unfathomable: "Eunuch Mo, where is the imperial edict?"

"Lord Qi, this is His Majesty's decree. What, do you have a problem with it?" Eunuch Mo glanced at Qi Yuanwei with a half-smile, his words carrying a strong threat.

Qi Yuanwei: "..."

Who will drag this bastard fake father-in-law away?

Mo Qingcheng smiled and handed the imperial edict to Old Man Bai, instructing him to keep it safe.

The two clan leaders and Old Man Bai sat to one side to keep him company, while Li Changgeng stood nervously to the side.

Bai Yueniang happily served the almost-cooked meal.

Mu Wanqing's eyes darted around: "Eunuch Mo, you're so young and handsome..."

Qi Yuanwei silently lit a candle for Eunuch Mo. "Little brat, you'd better pray for yourself!"

Eunuch Mo's eyes lit up: "You're Qing'er?"

"Eunuch Mo, you're amazing! Qing'er has a generous gift for you; it could save your life in a critical moment..."
