Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The two elders of the Mo Family thought that they would return empty-handed this time. After drinking two pots of tea, they shook their heads and prepared to leave. At this moment, Zhao Lan walked downstairs.
“I’m sorry to have kept the two elders waiting. I was stubborn and didn’t want to break off the engagement, so I did this. I’m sorry to keep you running back and forth.” Zhao Lan lowered her head and apologized sincerely.
Having been left here to wait, the two elders were naturally angry. If Zhao Lan used any other dignified reason to confront them, the two of them would definitely flare up on the spot.
However, Zhao Lan was very honest and even apologized to the two elders.
Thinking of this, the two of them could not say anything. After all, it was their young master who insisted on breaking off the engagement. Of course, the woman could not accept it.
“Miss Zhao’s actions are understandable. Can we talk about breaking off the engagement now?” The elder sat down again.
Zhao Lan’s face was filled with sadness as she said, “I also understand that there’s nothing you can do about breaking off the engagement. Elders, please tell me what news you brought.”
Fourth Elder was the first to speak. “We also know that breaking off the engagement is not a small matter, so the Mo Family will compensate you. The reason for breaking off the engagement is that our Young Master’s health is not good enough for Miss Zhao. The Mo Family is also willing to give the Zhao Family a batch of top-notch medicinal herbs and make a promise.”
“What promise?” Zhao Lan asked.
Third Elder continued, “As long as Miss Zhao comes looking for help, our Mo Family will definitely do our best to help.”
The rest was nothing, but this last promise was very important. The Mo Family’s medical skills were unparalleled in China, so they had no enemies.
After all, no one was willing to offend a doctor. They would regret it when they fell ill and came looking for them.
The Mo Family was influential in the circle of aristocratic families and had unparalleled popularity. This was something that even the Zou Family could not compare to. They were already very sincere to be willing to make such a promise.
Only then did Zhao Lan understand Zhao Yan’s words. In any case, the annulment of the engagement was already a foregone conclusion. It was better to obtain tangible benefits.
However, Zhao Lan did not show it. She still lowered her head and looked very sad, as if she was indifferent to these words.
The two elders looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
They had seen how infatuated they were with Zhao Lan. Back then, Mo Shen was unconscious and they didn’t know when he would wake up. It was even possible that he would only be in this state for the rest of his life.
The Mo Family was anxious to find him a wife. If at the last moment, they would still be able to have a test tube baby to continue the Mo Family’s bloodline.
They spread the news. Even the daughter of a small wealthy family was unwilling.
At this moment of despair, Zhao Lan was willing to marry over and agree to the Mo Family despite the objections of her family.
This was a favor to the Mo Family, so they all recognized this future matriarch.
As for whether Mo Shen was willing or not because no one cared, the most important thing was to continue the Mo Family’s bloodline. This engagement fulfilled Zhao Lan’s love and fulfilled the Mo Family’s wish of having a successor. Only for Mo Shen, it was a disaster.
“I accept these conditions. Is Mo Shen alright?” Zhao Lan suddenly asked.
The two elders heaved a sigh of relief when they heard her accept it. They hurriedly said, “He’s been recuperating in Xiyun recently. His health has already improved.”
“Then please take good care of him, Elders. I can’t do anything now. I hope this news will make him happy.” After saying that, Zhao Lan’s tears fell.
The two elders admitted that they were hard-hearted people. Facing Zhao Lan, they could not help but sigh. It was a pity that such a good girl could not become the mistress of the Mo Family.
After sending these two people away, Zhao Lan’s expression immediately changed. She didn’t look sad at all. She turned to look at the second floor. “You heard it, right? Mo Shen really dares to give me any promise to get rid of me.” “Isn’t this perfect? You can get Mo Shen after using this promise. You won’t lose anything.” Zhao Yan walked down with a smile.
Zhao Lan stared at him. “Can you really get me and Mo Shen back together?”
“I can’t, but the person behind me can. We have a common enemy. As long as he disappears, the entire country will be in our hands. You can get anything you want.” Zhao Yan’s tone was very firm.
