Night fell,
Mo Zhening personally escorted Bai Jiu'Er out of the manor. After some polite exchanges, Bai Jiu'Er boarded the carriage and slowly departed.
The carriage gradually disappeared into the night,
Mo Zhening turned and walked back into the residence. Beside him was a middle-aged man in an embroidered uniform—this was Tian Ji, the current Patriarch of the Tian Family, who by blood was Mo Zhening's elder cousin.
"Brother, what do you think of Ninth Sister's proposal?" Mo Zhening asked.
Tian Ji pondered for a moment and said, "If Miss Jiu'Er's information is accurate, it might be worth a try."
