The general's eldest daughter has a spatial ability

Chapter 97 The Xiao Family Has Good News

Xiao Yi led Mo Yunyi's family to the Duke's mansion in the city. As soon as the carriage stopped at the gate, the main gate opened wide, and two rows of servants stood respectfully by the gate, rising and shouting: "Congratulations to the Duke on the birth of his son! Welcome back to the mansion, Third Master, Eldest Miss, Young Miss, and Young Master."

Xiao Qi and his wife also came forward to greet them: "Third brother! Little sister, Yun'er and Jin'er, welcome home!"

Mo Yunyi was deeply moved. He had returned home victorious from a battle, and he had never received such a warm welcome in the Mo family. But at this moment, he felt the warmth of home.

Mo Yunyi nodded and bowed to Xiao Qi, then said, "Elder brother, elder sister-in-law."

Then he turned around and helped Xiao Yi and Madam Chu down from the carriage. After Xiao Yi got off the carriage, he laughed loudly: "Today I am blessed with a son. The Third Master and the Eldest Miss are returning to the manor. Everyone will be richly rewarded."

Upon hearing this, everyone shouted in unison, "Thank you, Duke!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Liuyun stepped forward and said with a smile, "Grandfather, Father and we just returned home today. We should be the ones to offer the reward. How about we do this favor for you?"

Mo Yunyi nodded to Xiao Yi, who said, "Good! Good! Good! You reward me, you reward me."

Mo Liuyun pulled a bag from her bosom. No one knew what was inside; the bag wasn't large, and everyone assumed it contained silver or gold melon seeds. Nevertheless, they were very happy, as this was the first time they had received a gift from their young mistress.

Unexpectedly, when Mo Liuyun took out the contents of the bag and distributed them to the maids and servants standing by the door, even Xiao Yi and Mo Yunyi gasped in shock. What did they see? Eastern pearls!

Large, cat-eye-sized pearls, each perfectly round and flawless, were bestowed upon the servants of the Duke's mansion. The servants were utterly astonished upon receiving the gift. Was their young mistress really that wealthy?

Such a large pearl, worth at least a hundred taels of silver, was placed so beautifully in their hands that they were so stunned that they forgot to express their gratitude.

Madam Xiao seemed to have grown accustomed to Mo Liuyun's generosity. She whispered to Xiao Yi, "Yun'er said these things aren't valuable; they were just refined by his master using some secret methods. They're not real natural pearls, but they're still priceless, and she has even bigger ones."

After Yang Mama went to deliver a message, she returned to the inner hall and saw the old lady sitting by the headboard.

He stepped forward to comfort her, saying, "Madam, it's all over now. It was just fate. No one expected that the general would be the one to survive."

When they found the general, his clothes were nothing like those of an ordinary family's child; the brocade quilt he was wrapped in was priceless.

And the jade pendant he wore was worth a fortune. Although we saved him, we also used him as a test subject for the young master's medicine! We've already repaid that debt of gratitude.

Although the general has severed ties with you, there is still the second young master. Didn't the general say that if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can ask the second young master to come to him?

This is the best possible outcome. Judging from the general's background, he is undoubtedly wealthy and noble. If we had become enemies, it would have brought utter destruction to the Mo family. Please rest assured, Madam. This truly is the best possible ending.”

The old lady nodded and said, "Looking back on all these years, I only feel a little guilty about what Yunyi has done for the Mo family."

Upon hearing this, Granny Yang smiled and said, "Madam, there's no need to worry. Didn't the eldest young master say that he still remembers your kindness in raising him?"

Madam Mo nodded and said nothing more.

At the Prince of Pingnan's residence, An Yi came to the study: "Master, today the General and the Xiao family have moved out of the General's residence and returned to the Xiao family home."

"Miss Mo is so generous, rewarding all the servants with a single Eastern pearl. And now there's a lot of talk outside, speculating about which prince Miss Mo will choose as her husband at tomorrow's palace banquet; some people have even placed bets on it."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Li became interested and asked, "Bet? They all have guesses about which prince it is? What are the odds? Has anyone placed a bet on me?"

Upon hearing this, An Yi was filled with anger: "Master, no one chose you? I asked why the Prince of Pingnan wasn't chosen? Guess what the dealer said?"

The bookmakers all said, "Who dares to choose the Prince of Pingnan? Unless Mo Liuyun has a death wish!" So my subordinate said, "I bet Miss Mo will choose the Prince of Pingnan." The bookmakers then said the odds were 1 to 10.

Upon hearing this, Nangongli said, "Go and call Qingyang over."

After a short while, Qingyang came to the study: "What are your orders, Master? Go and fetch 100,000 taels of silver and send someone to Yongsheng Casino to bet on tomorrow's palace banquet, where Mo Liuyun will choose me."

An Yi's eyes lit up: "Master, I'll bet five hundred taels!"

Qingyang hurriedly replied, "I will also bet five hundred taels."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Li's lips curled into a smile. Yongsheng Casino was owned by the fourth brother, and it would probably have to close down after tomorrow!

When the servants of the Xiao family saw the pearl bestowed upon them by Mo Liuyun, they were stunned for a moment before Xiao Qi reminded them: "Why aren't you thanking the young lady for bestowing this upon you?"

The maids and servants finally realized what was happening and excitedly shouted in unison, "Thank you for your generous gift, Miss!"

Mo Yunyi and his wife helped Chu Shi and Xiao Yi into the mansion. Xiao Qi and his wife, along with Mo Liuyun and her brother, were on the left and right sides respectively. The group entered the Duke's mansion through the main gate in a grand procession.

Led by the butler, they arrived at the courtyard arranged for Mo Yunyi, Xiao Shi, Mo Liuyun, and Mo Liujin.

This Duke's mansion was bestowed by the late emperor and is a five-courtyard residence that is regularly cleaned. The steward said as he walked, "The Duke and the old lady have sent word that they want me to allocate the southern courtyard to the General's eldest daughter."

There are two separate small courtyards on the east and west sides, which are perfect for the young lady and young master to live in. The Duchess also specifically instructed her subordinates to give the spacious courtyard on the south side to the young lady. The young lady's courtyard has a small garden and an open space. The Duchess said that the south side faces the sun and can be used to plant some flowers and plants.

Mo Liuyun thought to himself: planting flowers and grass is such a waste. I should plant herbs or vegetables instead. Speaking of vegetables, a brilliant idea struck him: he could move all the vegetables from the Mo family mansion over, but he needed to think of a way to conceal them.

Led by the steward, the group toured Mo Yunyi and Chu Shi's rooms and courtyards, and then visited Mo Liuyun and Mo Liujing's courtyards. Mo Liuyun noticed that the plaques on the gates of several courtyards were all blank.

Madam Chu stepped forward and took Mo Liuyun and Mo Liujin's hands, saying to them, "My dear children, you can choose the name of the courtyard yourselves. It's our own courtyard, so it's more appropriate for you to choose the name yourselves. Your grandfather and I don't know what names you like, so we haven't chosen one yet."

I just arrived in a hurry yesterday, and there are still many things in the house that haven't been moved over yet. Please make do with the decorations and furnishings in the house for now. Grandma will prepare something better for you in a couple of days. If there's anything you like, you can tell Grandma or your aunt.

Mo Liuyun and Mo Liujin grasped Chu's hands in return: "Thank you, Grandmother, we like it very much."

Mo Yunyi and Madam Xiao stepped forward and bowed to Xiao Yi and Madam Chu. Mo Yunyi said, "Thank you, Father and Mother. We're going home. We've worried you both!"

Xiao Yi waved his hand, his mustache practically bristling with joy: "I've just gotten a wonderful son for free, plus a pair of grandchildren! After the palace banquet tomorrow, I'm going to send out invitations everywhere and throw a huge feast. I want everyone to come and share in our family's good fortune! Hahahaha..."

But when the topic of the palace banquet came up, Xiao Yi suddenly stopped and looked at Mo Liuyun: "Yun'er, what are your thoughts on tomorrow's palace banquet? Do you have a favorite prince in mind? And now that you've moved out of the Mo residence, can your appearance be restored?"

Furthermore, your talent was already on full display at yesterday's birthday banquet, as everyone witnessed. I want all those who once mocked my granddaughter to open their dog eyes and see just how stunningly beautiful and talented my granddaughter is.

Mo Yunyi stepped forward and said, "Father, at the palace banquet tomorrow, we must listen to Yun'er in everything. Yun'er has her own ideas. I think it is not the best time to restore her appearance yet. Even if she does restore her appearance, we should wait until after the selection of husbands is over."

Only those who don't despise Yun'er's appearance deserve her true heart. If all husbands are like Nangong Chun, disliking Yun'er's looks, then such husbands are better off without! My daughter, a young lady of the Xiao family, can marry whomever she pleases, but not just anyone can be married to her!
