In front of the big gate of the Mo residence, everyone stood waiting. Grandma Mo sat on a chair nearby, looking tired but calm. Beside her were Madame Mo, Uncle Mo, and Aunt Mo. Not far behind stood Mo Lan, Mo An, Mo Ting, Mo Zen, San Na, and Mo Qing.
Mo Qing leaned closer to her mother, Aunt Mo, and whispered quietly, "Mother, who exactly are we waiting for? I heard it's Miss Chu Ming. Why do we all have to stand here just because of her?"
Aunt Mo sighed softly and replied, "Because Miss Chu Ming is the Emperor's beloved niece. That's why she's being shown such great respect. No one dares make her wait."
Mo Lan, who had been listening, suddenly spoke loudly on purpose so everyone could hear. "So we're all standing here just to welcome a concubine?" she said with a mocking laugh.
