Volume 1 wedge On the third day of the eighth month of the second year of the Huangyou reign, Kaifeng was established. The oil-paper lanterns swayed in the wind and rain, their flickering light casting an inconspicuous glow on the entrance of the official post station. Through the sou

Chapter 74
Mo Yan continued slowly and deliberately, "Because I'm about to be promoted to head constable."
Zhao Yu was speechless for a moment, and Mo Yan was acting all smug, which was really infuriating. He couldn't do anything about her, so he could only say, "Guard Zhan, let's go."
Zhan Zhao respectfully stepped aside: "Princess, please."
After bidding farewell to Ning Jin, Zhao Yu hurried away, with Zhan Zhao close behind. As the two disappeared into the distance, Mo Yan belatedly exclaimed "Ah!" and realized that she had forgotten to return the gray squirrel cloak she was wearing to Zhan Zhao.
Just as she was about to call him, she saw Zhan Zhao turn around. Even from a distance, she could still feel his gaze on her, a faint smile still on his lips, as if he were urging her to go back soon...
Mo Yan stood there, pulling her cloak tighter around her, somewhat dazed.
Ning Jin waved his hand in front of her eyes and sighed softly, "Girl, even if you have your eye on Zhan Zhao, you should be more discreet."
"You've taken a liking to Zhan Zhao?" Mo Yan didn't react. "What do I like about him?"
"How would I know?" Ning Jin refused to say more and turned to get into the car.
Mo Yan followed and climbed into the car, still puzzled.
Chapter Eight
On the way back, Ning Jin's expression was cold and indifferent, and he didn't joke with Mo Yan at all. When they arrived at the Kaifeng government office, he let Mo Yan get off the carriage, and without even saying goodbye, he told the coachman to drive away. Mo Yan was left standing on the street, completely bewildered, not knowing what she had done to offend him. After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure it out, and could only shake her head and sigh, "How come men change their expressions like the weather changes?"
After entering through the east gate, she intended to return to her room, but then remembered that Ma Da Sao had mentioned earlier that she needed to take her medicine again at noon. Since it was already close to midday, and to avoid troubling Ma Da Sao to bring it again, she decided to go to the kitchen herself.
Medicine was being simmered on the small stove, filling the kitchen with its aroma. When Sister-in-law Ma saw Mo Yan enter, she quickly pulled her down to sit: "You're still sick, why aren't you resting in your room? Why are you running around like this?"
Mo Yan smiled and obediently sat down: "I have nothing to do, so I came to drink my medicine."
"Just a little while longer." Aunt Ma put down the medicine cap, turned around and noticed that the gray squirrel fur cloak Mo Yan was wearing looked very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before. "This cloak looks like someone I've seen wear before?"
“It’s Brother Zhan’s,” Mo Yan said with a smile.
Ma Da Sao scratched her forehead and laughed, "Look at my memory! Isn't this the kind of thing Lord Zhan often wears? Did Lord Zhan give it to you?"
Mo Yan nodded: "Anyway, he didn't say he would pay it back."
Mrs. Ma chuckled: "He really treats you like his own sister, thinking of you so thoroughly."
"His own sister?" Mo Yan was taken aback. This was the second time today she had heard someone say something like that. "Does he treat me like a sister?"
"Of course, otherwise why would I treat you so well?" Sister-in-law Ma laughed. "I remember Master Zhan once said that if he had a sister, he would cherish her like a treasure, the apple of his eye. If you don't acknowledge such a good brother, you'd be a fool." The medicine on the stove was ready, and she quickly got up, picked up the medicine pot, and slowly poured the liquid into a bowl.
Mo Yan was still in a daze, and after a long while she hesitated and said, "But... I have several older brothers." She said this very softly, and Ma Da Sao was busy getting medicine for her and didn't hear her clearly.
After taking her medicine, Mo Yan wanted to stay in the kitchen to help out, but Aunt Ma urged her to go back to her room to rest and sent her out. Although the snow had stopped, it seemed colder than the past few days. She walked slowly back to her room alone, feeling inexplicably downcast. She
