What was His Majesty's reaction?

Mo Jinhuai thought for a moment before answering, "Their attitude towards me changed immediately."

"Not angry?"

"No, why would he be angry?" Mo Jinhuai had no idea that it was about deceiving the emperor.

General Mo whispered to his son, "If he didn't know before, then we and the Marquis's mansion have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor."

Mo Jinhuai was immediately petrified: "No...it's not that serious, is it? I don't think His Majesty is angry! And how can it be considered deceiving the emperor? Ge'er is originally the legitimate daughter of a marquis's family."

She recognized her godmother as her mother and was raised under her godmother's care... well... although she wasn't by her godmother's side for many years, she was still the legitimate daughter of a marquis's family, so it couldn't be considered deceiving the emperor, right?

"It's good that he's not angry."

Mo Jinhuai answered seriously, "I don't think he's angry."

"The emperor's heart is hard to fathom," General Mo sighed, then continued, "But we'll find out tonight if we investigate."

"Okay." After his father said that, Mo Jinhuai also began to feel a little nervous.

…

Before the banquet began, General Mo met with Nan Su first, as work still needed to be reported first.

Nan Su felt a little embarrassed when he thought about how he had mistaken his father-in-law for someone else... oh no, I mean, he was missing one of his father-in-laws. He didn't know how to face General Mo.

When General Mo bowed, Nan Su quickly stepped forward to help him up, saying, "Father-in-law, there's no need for such formality."

General Mo, seeing that the other party's attitude and reaction to him were completely different from before, finally understood what his son had said.

"Gege is my daughter from the Mo family. It's all my fault for not telling Your Majesty. Please forgive me." He naturally couldn't blame Nan Su for not investigating, nor could he blame his daughter for not speaking up, so this matter was his own responsibility.

Nan Su cleared his throat twice and replied, "It's because I didn't understand, how can you blame my father-in-law?"

First of all, he shouldn't blame his elders in the first place. Secondly, the other party has always been guarding the territory, so how could he blame such a person?

Thinking about what he had done to the Mo family before, Nan Su's feelings became even more complicated. No wonder Wan Ge asked why they were sent back so quickly, but when they returned to report for duty, they didn't stay for long at all.

"The New Year is just around the corner, Father-in-law, why don't you wait until after the New Year to go back?" Now that the border is stable, General Mo and his entourage can stay for a month or two without any problem.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." General Mo was of course not worried about the border. Everything had been arranged before his return. Even if the enemy country really wanted to invade, they could easily defend themselves until he returned.

He had never really spent much time with his daughter, so he wanted to stay a little longer.

…

After they finished discussing matters at the border, Nan Su led him to the banquet venue.

Since they were only returning to report on their duties and did not need to hold a grand banquet, Nan Su hosted a simple family dinner, inviting only the Marquis's residence and the General's residence.

Wan Ge was already seated between the two mothers, listening to their concern.

Madam Mo held her hand, her eyes still red. Although the poison in her body had been completely cleared a year ago, Madam Mo was still very worried about her health: "Ge'er, how is your health now?"

"Mother, don't worry, I'm all better now." After saying that, Wange stood up and turned around so that her mother could see her clearly.

“I’ve even gained weight,” Wan Ge replied with a smile.

"That's good, that's good." Seeing that her daughter was safe and sound, Madam Mo finally felt relieved. She had little connection with Ge'er and couldn't be there to watch her grow up. Now that she was safe and sound, she felt that it was more important than anything else.

God knows how devastated she felt when she heard that her daughter was in a neighboring country.

Madam Mo still cautiously asked, "How does His Majesty treat you?"

Her daughter has sacrificed so much; she hopes His Majesty can live up to her daughter's expectations.

Wan Ge nodded: "His Majesty treats me very well, Mother, please don't worry."

After saying that, he took her hand and stroked his fur coat: "This fur coat was made for me by His Majesty during the autumn hunt. The things I use in the palace are also the best."

"That's good. Seeing His Majesty treat you so well makes your deep affection for him worthwhile." Madam Mo's gaze never left her daughter; she missed her terribly.
