The man's usually cold brows were stained with a hint of subtle resentment.

It makes people look a little guilty.

Shen Nian thought for a moment and understood Xiao Zhi's thoughts, and his voice sounded comforting, "I believe you, shouldn't you be happy? Don't you want my trust?"

Can Xiao Zhi say no? Of course he can't.

"……No."

He just wanted to see his fiancée care about him.

Shen Nian suddenly had an idea and hooked Xiao Zhi's finger, "You and I will be together forever. I trust you and you must trust me, do you understand?"

The little girl coaxed herself seriously. Xiao Zhi was in a very good mood, and the corners of his mouth could not help but raise.

"Well, what Nian Nian said makes sense." Xiao Zhi looked like he had been taught something.

It's getting late, and the roadside stalls are starting to close.

Shen Nian and his party returned to the post house.

Li Xiuniang and eldest uncle Meng were not asleep yet. When they saw a few girls coming back and telling a few girls to go to bed early, they yawned and turned back to the house.

A dreamless night.

Early the next morning, the group returning to Zhongdu continued on their way.

Before leaving the city, an inconspicuous carriage appeared in front of the team.

When Liufeng saw the driver, surprise flashed in his eyes.

Pulling the reins gently, he drove the horse towards the Crown Prince's carriage.

"Your Majesty, the Mo family is in front."

A slender and powerful hand stretched out from inside, and a handsome face appeared.

Xiao Zhi first asked someone to talk to the Shen family and got out of the car calmly and gracefully.

Just as he was about to see the Mo family, he saw his fiancée also getting off the carriage and walking towards him.

"Xiao Jinzhi, I'm with you." Shen Nian said happily.

Xiao Zhi would not refuse, "Okay."

Mo Cheng didn't know whether his decision to take his daughter to Prince Xiao was right or wrong, and he was in an anxious mood.

He looked towards the massive team and paced in place.

Seeing Prince Xiao's figure from a distance, he stood decisively.

No matter what mood you are in, show yourself to be calm and composed.

Xiao Zhi came over quickly.

He looked into Mo Cheng's eyes and said calmly: "Mr. Mo is a smart man. Don't worry. With my son and his concubine here, I don't need to be afraid of anyone."

This is what Mo Cheng cares about most.

Prince Rong has a very good reputation in Dai Viet and is the patron saint of everyone in Dai Viet. Although his son has a flawed reputation due to some things, Mo Cheng is a sensible person and knows that some things cannot be taken lightly.

He was willing to believe in the children raised by Prince Rong.

He immediately bowed his hands and bowed.

"The common people thank Prince Xiao."

Hearing these words, Mo Mei in the car seemed to get some signal, and lifted the curtain of the car to reveal her little head.

When I met Shen Nian's smiling eyes, I wanted to close the curtain. Thinking of my father's words, I suppressed my desire to escape, and held the curtain uncomfortably with my young white hands.

Mo Cheng waved to her, "Come down quickly, I've seen Prince Xiao and Concubine Prince Xiao."

Mo Mei listened to her father's words the most, paused, and got out of the carriage.

She bowed to Shen Nian and Xiao Zhi, and said in her soft and sweet voice, "I have met Prince Xiao and Imperial Concubine Xiao."

After that, he moved his little feet and rubbed behind his father.

He looked at Shen Nian with those clear and bright eyes.

——This sister is pretty.

Shen Nian knew that this girl was timid and was afraid of scaring her, so he just smiled lightly and did not tease her.

Mo Cheng had become the prince of Xiao, and he would not fail to express his feelings. He immediately said: "The Mo family is not as good as before, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come up with a thank you gift that satisfies the prince. Mo Cheng can only use what he has learned to repay the prince for his care..."

Thinking of Shen Jie, whom he met yesterday, the young man seemed to be very curious about his craft.

Then he said: "If anyone wants to learn, I will definitely teach you."

Xiao Zhi agreed, "Okay, then I'll leave it to Mr. Mo for the prince's cousin."

The Mo family doesn't like to owe someone, so if he refuses, Mo Cheng will be worried.

Sure enough, Mo Cheng unconsciously let go of his guard and once again expressed his gratitude to Prince Xiao.

"Thank you, Prince Xiao."

There were two more people in the team returning to Zhongdu.

Sister Jing was also an invisible Yangou. Knowing that the girl from the Mo family was returning to Zhongdu with them, she didn't bother Shen Nian anymore and went to find the little girl if she had nothing to do.

She is a big talker, and even Mo Mei is very lively.

Mo Cheng looked at the smile on his daughter's face and felt that he had made the right decision.

"I'm very happy? Are you still used to it?"

The little girl Yi Mei nodded, "I'm happy, and I'm used to it. Dad, it feels so good to be out."

These words made Mo Cheng sad.

He just said: "From now on, we can go out whenever we want. Dad won't hold you back anymore."

Mo Yimei knew that dad was doing it for her own good, and said, "I know that dad is not willing to restrain me. Dad is here to protect me, and she knows that."

The daughter's understanding made Mo Cheng's heart soften.

What do those gossips know? He has such a daughter, which is worth a thousand dollars.

When he was happy, he straightened his shoulders involuntarily.

Mo Mei: "!!!"

This time she was really right.

"Dad, is your back straight?" the little girl's soft voice was full of disbelief.

In her impression, her father has always been hunchbacked. Is it true?

Mo Cheng's expression froze, he coughed lightly and said, "Yes, once we leave that place, my father wants to take us to a new life, and he feels happy, but... I'm stunned."

"..." Little girl Mo Mei was silent.

After a while, he said to his father: "Dad, I am simple, not stupid."

Mo Cheng touched the tip of his nose hesitantly, "Oh, it's only been a few days, and it's hard to fool me anymore..."

Even though he was thinking this way, he was very happy to be a father.

Looking at his daughter's accusing look, he explained: "... If you pretend to be a hunchback, there will be fewer people at home to bother you, so why not do it?"

Mo Cheng had a handsome face and was skilled in craftsmanship. No matter where he moved, there was no shortage of people who would come to talk to him about marriage.

Later, it was discovered that men with slight flaws would not be targeted, so he pretended to be hunchbacked, never shaved, never restrained his temper, and always wore the same clothes. If this continued, no one would come to visit him.

Pretend, pretend to be used to it.

"Dad, thank you for taking care of Mei Mei." Mo Mei looked at her father with dependence.

With Sister Jing's 'interference', the little girl, who was not stupid at all, understood even more.

Mo Cheng felt his nose feel sore inexplicably and rubbed his daughter's hair, "I am your father. I brought you into this world and I should take care of you."

The daughter has no mother, and he wants to make up for the missing part of the child.

He always felt that he didn't do enough.

Fortunately, there is still time to make amends.

It was a happy moment, and Shen Jie knew that he could ask Mo Cheng for advice.

The excitement of the carriage could hardly suppress his excited heart.

"Really? Can I really ask for advice?" He asked Shen Meiying.

Shen Meiying rarely saw her brother beaming with joy, so she smiled and said, "It's true, Sister Nian said it, but we won't talk about it until we get to Zhongdu."

"It's natural, there's no time on the way." Shen Jie said, "How long does it take to get to Zhongdu?"

"It's still far away."

Shen Jie sighed, took out the tools from the dark and began to carve patterns on the wood.
