"My child, come and sit down." Mo Chenfeng waved his hand, gesturing for her to take the primary seat at his side. This nearly made Chu Qingmeng trip and fall right where she stood while halfway through her bow. Feeling both amused and exasperated, she said, "Father, please don't make things difficult for me. There are only a few of us father and sons in the study here, and with all the juniors present, you mustn't put me on the spot."
She had no desire to be cursed at behind her back for not knowing her place regarding status and respect. The two main seats in the main hall were normally occupied by Mo Chenfeng and his wife, or by Mo Chenfeng alone; even if two people sat there, it would only be him and Mo Liufang. Mo Liujin ranked third and was a son by a concubine, and as his wife, no matter how one looked at it, her turn would never come.
"Alright, hurry up and sit down, or would you prefer your father to invite you personally?" Mo Chenfeng replied with a smile, which also effectively silenced any lingering discontent among the juniors.
