Aunt Wan probably understood the situation, but her eyes were filled only with her child.
As long as Yu Er could be safe and happy by her side, she did not mind the rankings and seatings of the family.
Mo Hua frowned in thought, when suddenly his Divine Sense stirred, detecting several gazes.
“Is someone watching me?”
Mo Hua looked back discreetly and realised it was not so.
These gazes were all directed towards Aunt Wan and Yu Er beside him.
One of those gazes belonged to Shangguan Yi.
Shangguan Yi, despite sitting at an upper seat, was obviously somewhat preoccupied, intermittently glancing downward, gazing at his beloved wife and son, his eyes filled with longing and a touch of melancholy.
For a grown man, he looked somewhat pitiful…
Mo Hua shook his head.
Another was Uncle Gu.
His gaze towards Aunt Wan and Yu Er was mostly one of concern.
Of course, he also noticed Mo Hua, sitting beside Yu Er.
Mo Hua winked at him.
Gu Changhuai snorted lightly and turned away, raising his wine cup to drink on his own.
These two gazes were well-intentioned.
The rest of the gazes came from the group of Elders from the Shangguan Family.
Their gazes, though not malicious, were certainly lacking in warmth; they were cold, indifferent, filled with scrutiny and criticism, accompanied by hushed whispers.
Mo Hua sighed softly.
There is no feast without end.
The machinations and scheming within a family clan really were too troublesome.
But soon, the family banquet began, and Mo Hua cast these thoughts aside.
Delicacies upon delicacies were brought to the table.
Flying fowls and Spirit Beasts, exotic fruits and fine dishes.
Fish, shrimp, pork, and jiaolong, chicken, goose, luan birds.
Alluring in color, aroma, and flavor, they whetted one’s appetite.
Although the Gu Family was not of Fifth Grade, it was still a prestigious Great Family, and the family’s annual banquet, though not overly extravagant, was definitely bountiful.
