After his initial surprise, Young Master Wei was immediately overjoyed. He had long admired the young general and never expected to meet him recently.
Mo Lan looked innocently at Ting Yu, who was smiling beside her, and touched her nose.
It seems like she let something slip?
“Young Master Wei is right, he is indeed my young master.” Tingyu’s smile widened as she looked at Molan’s expression. Since Shoushou had invited Young Master Wei in, he had no intention of hiding his identity.
"My young master is traveling discreetly for private matters, and I hope Young Master Wei will not make a fuss about it."
"Understood, understood. Allow me to pay my respects to the young master first." Young Master Wei straightened his clothes and turned to his fiancée beside him. "Yun'er, come, come with me to pay your respects to the young master."
Zhao Ziyun was holding Mo Lan's hand in a daze. She had only come to talk to her sister Mo Lan, so how did she end up running into a prince?
"Brother Wei, I..."
Seeing his fiancée's hesitation, Young Master Wei realized that he had been a little too excited. No matter how much he admired her, she was still a stranger to Yun'er, and it was only natural for her to be afraid.
"It was my oversight. Yun'er, stay with Mo Lan for now. I'll go and pay my respects to the Prince."
Mo Lan remained silent. Just a moment ago, she was hostile, but in the blink of an eye, she was calling him "Little Sister Mo Lan."
"Alright, let's go in too."
Mo Lan blinked and instantly understood Qin Su's intention. A few days ago, she had suggested to Qin Su that water transport be opened. If they wanted to build a dock in Jiang County, they had to get the Wei family's consent. It was a lucky coincidence that they met Young Master Wei today, who had just returned from his studies abroad.
"Sister, is this appropriate?" The person inside is the Crown Prince; can she really meet him? Zhao Ziyun was a little worried.
"What are you afraid of? Your fiancé is inside. With him there, there's nothing to worry about."
Mo Lan knew that her family, with its strict upbringing, did not allow their daughters to meet with men outside the family alone, for fear of damaging their reputation. However, having her fiancé was the greatest guarantee of her safety.
Zhao Ziyun thought for a moment, nodded, and followed Mo Lan with her head down.
At this moment, the two had already begun exchanging pleasantries in the hall.
"I have long admired the name of Prince Qin, but have never had the chance to meet him. I never expected to meet him in Jiang County recently. I will host a dinner later, and I hope you will do me the honor."
"Young Master Wei, you're too kind. I envy your freedom to travel and study, broadening your horizons," Qin Su said casually, glancing at Mo Lan as she entered.
"Not at all, not at all. I am incompetent and can only go out to broaden my horizons. How can I compare with the Crown Prince? You have been training in the military camp for many years and have achieved fame and success at a young age. No one else in the entire Ji Kingdom dares to accept the title of Young General."
As Young Master Wei spoke, his gaze softened considerably when he saw his fiancée standing obediently beside the Mo Lan girl.
"Speaking of which, I have to thank Yun'er. If I hadn't seen her chatting with Mo Lan at the door, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet the young master."
Young Master Wei was originally the eldest son of the family and was being trained as the heir. He was knowledgeable and eloquent, so although the four of them were not very familiar with each other, there was no awkwardness.
Zhao Ziyun obediently curtsied to Qin Su, "Greetings, Prince Qin!"
"No need for formalities, please sit down," Qin Fu said softly, looking at Mo Lan.
Mo Lan patted Zhao Ziyun's small, delicate hand and pulled her to sit down with her. "Yun'er is a good girl. It's fate that we all met."
Before Young Master Wei could speak, Qin Su looked at Mo Lan and smiled slightly, "Lan'er is right. In this vast sea of people, it is indeed fate that we were able to meet."
