Not long after, Lizhong came back.
"Yan girl, Mo Yonglu adamantly refuses his wages. He says he wants to see you and is waiting at the door. Do you want to see him?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Yan felt somewhat irritable, as the ordeal seemed neverending. After considering for a moment, she felt it was better to go out and make things clear: "I'll go and see what he really wants."
Having said that, she stood up and walked outside.
Lizhong, worried, quickly followed her.
Mo Yonglu paced anxiously outside the courtyard gate. Upon seeing Mo Yan emerge, he sighed with relief before she could speak and took the initiative to say, "Yan girl, I didn't come with any other intention, just to apologize to you in person for the wrongs I've done in the past."
"Apologize?" Mo Yan looked at him indifferently, with an almost mocking tone she repeated the word, "If apologies were useful, would there even be a need for the wicked to be punished?"
