"But how could I bear to let you suffer alone? If you had met me later, if I hadn't gone with you, I wouldn't have felt any better when I learned that you were enduring those hardships alone."
Wan Ge knew that even if she didn't go with him, even if she met him very late, even if he was completely different back then than he is now, he would still like her.
But... only when her soul had been replaced by his did Wan Ge bear to let him suffer alone. All the talk of hardship and training was nonsense; her lover always deserved to be treated well.
…
The next day, after court, Mo Jinhuai was summoned to the Imperial Study alone.
Thinking about his brother-in-law's reaction the day before, Mo Jinhuai felt a little nervous, wondering what this emperor, whose actions were always unpredictable, would do.
The Mo family didn't really like Nan Su that much, but after His Majesty ascended the throne, the people's lives did improve. Although his temperament was unpredictable, he always gave Wan Ge the best, so they didn't dislike him.
I just think that he sometimes reacts a little too strongly, and I'm a little worried that he might hurt Wan Ge.
…
"Greetings, Your Majesty." After entering the Imperial Study, Mo Jinhuai respectfully bowed to Nan Su.
Nan Su quickly helped the man up: "There's no need for formalities in private, brother. I was just being impetuous. Please forgive me."
Mo Jinhuai was a little confused, not understanding what the other party meant at this moment.
Nan Su noticed the other person's confusion, cleared his throat twice, and replied, "Wange didn't explain the connection to the general's uniform before, so..."
Mo Jinhuai instantly understood what he meant. If he didn't know that Wan Ge was his younger sister, then in his eyes he would be a rival in love. So, his harshness towards him was all due to a misunderstanding.
Imagine your wife inviting someone over as soon as they come home, and then being caught having an intimate moment with Orange. Wouldn't you be angry?
"I see. We didn't explain it clearly. Ge'er's health would deteriorate if she stayed with us, so we had no choice but to entrust her to her godmother's care."
At the time, due to some complex reasons, the situation was not publicly explained. Wan Ge was allowed to enter the palace directly as the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family; if Wan Ge hadn't made it clear, it's understandable that the other party wouldn't have known.
"It's all a misunderstanding." After Nan Su asked the other party to sit down, he took out a box. After opening the wooden box, a long sword appeared in Mo Jinhuai's eyes.
"This is a sword that the Yan family patriarch spent ten years forging. I heard from Wan Ge that Zhong Chang likes to collect swords. I wonder if my brother would like it."
Mo Jinhuai's eyes lit up. He carefully picked up the sword, and with a simple pull, he could see the sharp blade.
"This...you're giving it to me?"
"It is meant to be given to my elder brother as an apology for my rudeness yesterday."
Mo Jinhuai actually wanted to say that what happened yesterday was nothing, but seeing such a fine sword really moved him: "Then...then I thank Your Majesty..."
"Brother, there's no need to be so polite. Wan Ge hasn't seen you all in a long time and misses you dearly. I plan to host a banquet in the palace tomorrow to invite my father-in-law and mother-in-law to have a meal together. What do you think, brother?"
"Okay, I'll explain it to my parents when I get home."
Nan Su nodded. When Mo Jinhuai left the palace, he took many rewards with him. He didn't care about the rewards, but he loved the sword in his hand.
As soon as Mo Jinhuai returned to the manor, he saw that his father had indeed returned.
Mo Jinhuai returned a little earlier than General Mo, so Wan Ge called out to him instead of her own parents.
It was predicted that they would arrive today, but General Mo had not arrived before the court session today, so he must have just returned.
General Mo was not surprised to see the other party return with a pile of rewards; they always received a lot of rewards every time they returned to report on their duties.
His Majesty's attitude towards their family was a bit strange; it wasn't that it was bad, but he just didn't seem to like them very much.
But there was nothing she could do; he was the man her daughter liked.
"What are you holding in your hand?" General Mo was puzzled when he saw the other person holding a long wooden box and grinning foolishly.
Without hesitation, Mo Jinhuai showed the ink box to his father.
General Mo opened it and saw a fine sword inside: "Where did you get such a fine sword?"
"It was given to me by His Majesty."
"Huh?" What does it mean that he suddenly gave his son a sword? Could there be some other purpose behind this?
"What did he say when he gave you the sword?" Because he sensed that Nan Su didn't really like their family, General Mo had always been a little wary of Nan Su.
When Mo Jinhuai heard his father ask this, he replied, "His Majesty said that we should go to the palace tonight. He will host a banquet so that we can have a good time with Ge'er. He has also sent someone to inform my godfather and godmother."
His daughter has been married for several years, and she never mentioned wanting things to be like this before. Is it because she came back less often before?
Mo Jinhuai leaned close to his father's ear and whispered, "By the way, Father, I have something to tell you. His Majesty didn't know that Ge'er was a daughter of the Mo family."
General Mo was stunned for a moment. He didn't know? Wait, he seemed to understand something.
No wonder his impression of His Majesty was completely different when he chatted with the Marquis.
The Marquis is very satisfied with His Majesty, feeling that His Majesty has done everything very well. It's just that he's a little unaccustomed to being appointed to a post in the capital.
He now understood that those things should have belonged to him.
However, it's hard to say for sure. After all, Wan Ge was married into the Marquis's household as his daughter. If he didn't know this beforehand, wouldn't it be deceiving the emperor if he told him?
