The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

But Mo Yan didn't have the heart to think of ways to help the Wu family mother and son, because the three members of the Chen family had been arrested and were escorted to Beijing a few days ago to await their fate.

The day after the three members of the Chen family were escorted to Beijing, Mo Yan handed a sign to the palace and asked for an interview, but there was still no news of Emperor Hui'an's interview.

Mo Yan felt that Emperor Hui'an probably knew the purpose of her request to meet the Holy See, and the reason why he disappeared was that he refused to forgive Du. She couldn't enter the palace, so she couldn't plead for Du in person. She could only place her hope on Xiao Ruiyuan, hoping that he could convince Chu Heng. Only in this way could she enter the palace and persuade Emperor Hui'an to pardon Du's death penalty.

Seven or eight days passed, but Mo Yan didn't get any news, either from the palace or from Xiao Ruiyuan, and she couldn't help but feel irritated. After delaying for too long, she was really worried that the next moment she would be waiting would be the news that the three members of the Chen family would be executed.

Mo Qingze, who was reading books at home every day, noticed something strange about Mo Yan and couldn't help asking several times.

Mo Yan didn't dare to say anything, so he just made a vague excuse to deal with it. She was determined to hide what Chen Ji had done from her family, and she also planned to do it secretly to save Du. If Emperor Hui'an was willing to forgive Du, she would settle the matter in private and not let anyone in the family know about it. She didn't want these things to be exposed to the family. Cause unnecessary trouble.

Fortunately, on the ninth day, Xiao Ruiyuan asked the secret guard to pass on the news that Chu Heng was willing to forgive Du and would go to the palace to intercede with Emperor Hui'an to repay Mo Yan for saving him.

The big stone hanging in Mo Yan's heart has finally dropped by more than half. If Chu Heng is willing to let Du go, the possibility of Emperor Hui'an letting go is much greater.

On the afternoon of the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, a young eunuch came to Mo's house and conveyed the oral instructions of Emperor Hui'an, asking Mo Yan to enter the palace at five o'clock on the eighth day of the lunar month.

Finally expecting the exact news, Mo Yan felt relieved. Early the next morning, she packed up and went to the palace to meet Emperor Hui'an in her official uniform.

When Mo Yan entered the palace gate, there was a young eunuch waiting for her. He took her directly to the imperial study room. Outside the imperial study room, she met Xiao Ruiyuan who was waiting for her.

After shooing away the young eunuch, Xiao Ruiyuan led Mo Yan inside and said, "My cousin said that the Holy One has relented. If the Holy One asks you after entering, just tell the truth."

"Yes, I know!" Mo Yan nodded with a smile, but she was thinking that she couldn't tell the real reason for saving Du Shi.

The little eunuch outside the royal study went in and made a call, then came out and let Mo Yan and Xiao Ruiyuan in.

Emperor Hui'an's face looked very serious. After Mo Yan saluted with some anxiety, he lowered his head and waited for questions.

After a while, Emperor Hui'an asked Mo Yan why he wanted to save the guilty woman Du Shi. His tone sounded normal, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Mo Yan quickly organized her words, saluted Emperor Hui'an, and then said with a sad face: "Chen Ji committed a major crime and brought harm to his family. Both himself and his family are unforgivable! But the guilty woman Du is actually He Jia His biological mother was very kind to He Jia. She should not abandon He Jia because of her. He Jia should deny this fact! Da Chu adheres to filial piety. Everyone in the world knows that the Holy Emperor treats the Queen Mother with the utmost filial piety and love, and He Jia also follows the same example. Your Majesty, as a filial person, I cannot bear to see the guilty woman Du's head missing."

After saying that, she bowed deeply to Emperor Hui'an and did not get up for a long time.

None of these words were pleading, but they talked about filial piety and flattered Emperor Hui'an, which would not offend anyone at all.

Quite a smart one! Emperor Hui'an's expression did not change, a flash of approval flashed in his eyes. Without knowing what he was thinking, he asked in a deep voice: "Since you know that Chen Ji's crime is extremely heinous and his family members are also unforgivable, what should you do if I don't want to forgive the guilty woman Du?"

Mo Yan quickly replied: "Since ancient times, there has been a dilemma between loyalty and filial piety! If the Holy One is unwilling to forgive Du Shi, He Jia should also comply. He can only find a good cemetery for the guilty woman Du Shi, chant sutras and pray for her every day, and wish her peace. The joyful next life can be regarded as the fulfillment of this mother-daughter love."

Emperor Hui'an thought that Mo Yan would continue to plead for mercy and use her previous achievements or that promise in exchange, but he didn't expect that she would actually say something about the dilemma of loyalty and filial piety. Was this her true words, or was she trying to figure out his thoughts before speaking? Did you say this on purpose to fool him?

In an instant, the suspicious emperor had already begun to doubt Mo Yan's true intentions.

Being stared at by two sharp eyes from above, Mo Yan was nervous and did not dare to raise his head. Those words were mostly deceptive. If Emperor Hui'an really refused to pardon Du, she could only use that promise in exchange.

No matter how important a loyal king is, he is not as important as her younger siblings.

After a long time, Emperor Hui'an's voice sounded again, and his tone was much gentler than before: "You have a pure and filial heart. If I don't help you, it will appear that I am ruthless! In view of your past achievements, I will pardon Du. capital crime."

Mo Yan was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down to thank the Lord: "Your Majesty's benevolence has fulfilled He Jia's filial piety. He Jia thanks the Lord for His kindness!"

Seeing Mo Yan's unmistakable and heartfelt joy, Emperor Hui'an originally thought that she had another purpose in pleading for Mrs. Du. Now it seems that she really has a pure and filial heart. It is much easier for people like this to use it.

With this in mind, Emperor Hui'an looked at Xiao Ruiyuan secretly, and found that his eyes were staring at the knees of the woman who had just stood up. He couldn't help but be startled, but his expression softened a bit.

Mo Yan, who was secretly rejoicing, didn't know what Emperor Hui'an was thinking, and she didn't know that she was so "easy" in using it, so that when she was repeatedly squeezed by the royal family later, she felt infinitely depressed...
