The more Mo Yanhong thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He was so conflicted that a thin layer of sweat even appeared on his forehead.
Noticing the sweat on Mo Yanhong's forehead, the guards around him knew they had hit a wall and were silent as a mouse. Even those whose tendons in their hands and feet were cut endured the pain and dared not groan.
Although it would be embarrassing if the news got out, and although giving in would seriously affect his prestige among his subordinates, after weighing the pros and cons, Mo Yanhong still did not dare to act rashly. After spending a long time in the capital, he also knew that there were people in this world that he could not afford to offend, even the Anyun royal family had people they could not afford to offend.
"Since you are all from aristocratic families, let's just call it a day today. However, I, Mo Yanhong, will remember this matter. It's best if I don't see you in the capital in the future." Mo Yanhong said something harsh and turned to leave.
As he said this, Mo Yanhong's face turned ashen and his facial muscles were twitching.
After so many years of dominance in the capital, this was the first time he had to surrender to someone, and in front of so many subordinates. At this moment, he felt that he had lost all his face.
Seeing Mo Yanhong leave, the group of guards behind him lifted up their injured companion and followed him.
After leaving the inn, Mo Yanhong's face remained gloomy.
"Sir, are we really going to let them go like this? Our Mo family has never suffered such a big loss even in the capital, and now we are being bullied in a poor rural area." A guard said indignantly.
"Nonsense, do I need you to teach me what to do?" Mo Yanhong slapped the guard in the face.
The guard's words were like a loud slap in the face. The anger that Mo Yanhong had suppressed for a long time finally broke out, but it was directed at his own people.
"Go and check first, who is that Mu Hanyan?" Mo Yanhong finally felt better after giving this slap, and said with a gloomy face.
"Yes." The guard covered his face and immediately left the team and began to inquire about Mu Hanyan's background.
…
"Dear guests, I will clean your rooms right away." The shopkeeper heaved a long sigh of relief when he saw Mo Yanhong leave, and said to Mu Hanyan and the others attentively.
"You were just injured, we can do it ourselves." Mu Hanyan said as he took out a silver note and handed it to the shopkeeper.
"How can I let customers do it themselves? After taking your miraculous medicine, my injuries are all healed and I am better than before." The shopkeeper said happily. He took the banknotes and was shocked. "It's too much. If you don't have change, you don't have to give it to me. Consider it my treat for everyone."
Normally, a high-class room would only cost a few taels of silver, but the silver note Mu Hanyan gave him was worth one thousand taels, which felt hot in his hands.
"You've caused the shopkeeper to lose a huge business deal and brought him into an unprovoked disaster for no reason. Consider this my compensation," Mu Hanyan said nonchalantly. She certainly wouldn't take this small amount of money seriously.
"There is no such thing as an unexpected disaster. It should be called a blessing from heaven. After taking that elixir just now, not only are all my injuries healed, but I also feel like I'm 20 years younger. I estimate that I will have no problem living for another ten or twenty years. If I didn't know that you gentlemen would not care about a few taels of silver, and it would be too pretentious to push it back and forth, it would seem that I am disrespectful to you, and I would rather not accept a penny. How could I have the nerve to accept such a large sum of money?" The shopkeeper said sincerely.
