What kind of status was unimportant, as it could not be eaten as a meal.
"These are not the most important things. You only need to answer me whether you are willing or unwilling. I will handle all other matters."
Lan Er had actually opened her mind, just as Madam Ninth had said last night. Even if she got married, it would not delay her from going to offer incense and inform the news after learning that the Fourth Princess had reported her big enmity.
However, she still had a wish, which was that she hoped she could continue to stay in Xiling Village and continue working for the Mo Family.
“Madam Ninth, marrying Eldest Young Master He is the blessing that Lan Er has cultivated in her three lifetimes. As long as she does not leave Xiling Village, Lan Er is willing to marry Eldest Young Master He."
As soon as He Zhiran heard this, he immediately stood up, "Good, this sentence is enough."
After speaking, she did not continue to bargain with Lan Er. Instead, she went out to find her mother and elder brother.
Ever since he spoke his mind yesterday, He Ziming had been in a restless state, unable to sit still.
Finally, he saw He Zhiran coming. He couldn't care less about the elegant image of a handsome gentleman he used to have. He rushed forward and grabbed He Zhiran's arm.
"Ran Ran, what's the result?"
This was the first time He Zhiran saw her eldest brother being so flustered. She couldn't help teasing, "What result?"
Her question made He Ziming's face turn red in an instant.
"Ran Ran, I saw you go into Lan Er's room. Don't make fun of me."
He Zhiran had originally wanted to tease He Ziming by keeping him in suspense, but seeing how anxious he was, she decided not to.
"There's no problem with Lan Er. Now we just need Father and Mother's approval."
"Ran Ran, are you saying that Lan Er agreed? Is it true?" He Ziming was ecstatic. He gripped He Zhiran's arm tightly, forgetting his strength.
He Zhiran felt some pain and forcefully pulled her arm back.
"Eldest brother, I'm your sister. You can't pinch me like this even if you're happy!"
"I'm sorry, Ran Ran. I lost control." Having been reminded like this, He Ziming also realized that his behavior was a bit excessive.
How could He Zhiran take offense with him?
"I've done what I should do. The rest depends on you."
He Ziming strode towards the door, "I'll go find Mother now. As long as Mother agrees, Father will definitely have no problem."
Watching her eldest brother who was so different from his usual calm self, He Zhiran shook her head with amusement.
Just as she had just said, she had done what she could. Whether He Ziming could successfully marry the girl he admired would depend on his own efforts afterwards.
Perhaps Madam He had never been very against the marriage between He Ziming and Lan Er in the first place. That very night, she handed Mo Jiuye a letter she wrote to Minister He.
The content of the letter was undoubtedly about He Ziming’s marriage. At the same time, she also wrote about her own wish as well as her son's to settle in the northwest for the long term.
As for the detailed reasons for staying in the northwest, she hoped that Mo Jiuye would personally inform Minister He.
Madam He thought that after hearing her words, her daughter had given up the idea of going to the capital with Mo Jiuye.
Therefore, when handing over the letter to him, she also made some other requests, hoping that he could convey these words to Minister He through word of mouth.
Mo Jiuye would certainly keep his mother-in-law's instructions in mind.
At the same time, he also truthfully told He Zhiran about her mother asking him to bring a letter to her father.
He Zhiran strongly approved of her mother’s approach. Especially regarding her eldest brother’s marriage, it was most appropriate for her as the mother to state her stance first.
Hu Cong was the most concerned about the Mo Family’s affairs. Early the next morning, he took his men to select a location for the new house and conducted measurements.
The large greenhouse at home was also completed on the same day.
He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye did not know how long they would be away in the capital this time. To guard against contingencies, they left the seeds that needed to be planted in the greenhouse in advance.
They also handed over all matters regarding the planting greenhouse to the meticulous Fifth Elder Brother.
Fifth Elder Brother was clever and more meticulous than his other brothers. Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran were at ease leaving things to him.
After everything was arranged at home, three days had passed.
Taking advantage of when the women were accompanying the two babies, He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye gathered the Mo brothers and went to Mo Qing’s room.
Although they had not officially notified the Mo brothers about their trip to the capital, some of them had heard about it from Fourth Elder Brother.
Seeing Mo Jiuye and his wife gathering everyone so formally, they knew that Ninth Younger Brother must be going to talk about going to the capital.
They had just had lunch at this time. If Mo Jiuye had not planned to set off today, he would not have called everyone together at this time.
After a quick scan, except for Eighth Elder Brother who held office at the yamen, the rest of the Mo men were present. Mo Jiuye went straight to the point,
“Father, brothers, I plan to go to the capital with Ran Ran today.”
“Ninth Younger Brother, Eldest Brother knows that you are worried about attracting other people's attention if there are too many people. So he asked me to accompany you alone. That way, if anything happens, there will be someone to help and we can send a message back home immediately.”
“That’s right, Ninth Younger Brother. The rest of us will stay at home waiting for news. Just let Eldest Brother accompany you husband and wife on the trip.” Third Elder Brother also persuaded.
Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran had already discussed that they would leave Yuncheng at dawn, and take out the big G from the space to travel overnight after dark.
Just like when they went to the south, they would drive at night and rest in the space during the day.
In this way, a journey that would originally take more than half a month riding day and night could be completed by them in three or four days.
In their opinion, the situation in the capital was very unfavorable to the Mo family, so it would be best to arrive earlier to resolve it.
“Eldest Brother, I know you mean well, but after careful consideration, I have also discussed this with Father that I will go alone first. If I need your help, I will have Little White send a message back immediately.”
Mo Jiuye had made up his mind and would not make any changes. Therefore, his words also contained an irresistible tone.
Mo Qing stopped Mo Junrui when the latter still wanted to say something.
"Junrui, let your Ninth Younger Brother make the arrangements regarding this matter."
Since their father had spoken, Mo Junrui could only resign himself to it.
"In that case, you must prioritize your own safety on this trip. Do not get anxious if you encounter any tricky situations. Have Little White send us a message and we’ll think of something together."
After Mo Junrui spoke, he looked at He Zhiran again, “Ninth Sister-in-Law is as smart as us brothers. Ninth Younger Brother, you must remind her more when handling things.”
"Don't worry everyone. My husband handles things very steadily." The current Mo Jiuye was no longer the youngest rascal his elder brothers remembered. Having gone through so many things, he could now handle matters calmly and appropriately.
He Zhiran did not mean to say that she would help Mo Jiuye. She only hoped that her family would trust him.
Mo Jiuye looked at the sky.
“It’s getting late. Ran Ran and I plan to set off immediately to rest overnight in Zhou Mansion when we arrive, then set off from Zhou Mansion early tomorrow morning towards the capital riding day and night.”
