Farm Girl's Manor-Chapter 1339: Final - Ending Eight (Complete)_2

Mo Yan pressed her hand to her forehead, no longer having the energy to explain anything.

Just as Liu Tinglan had said, Xiao Ruiyuan was "drinking tea" in the main hall, and half of the dozens of prepared red envelopes had already been handed out.

The "tea-drinking" red envelopes were specifically prepared for the Mo Family, and Xiao Ruiyuan was very generous when sealing them. When Xin Er was the first to serve up honeyed tea, he gave out two red envelopes each containing nine taels, nine coins, and ninety-nine copper coins.

The nine taels and nine coins refer to gold, and the copper coins were also made of glittering gold, converted into silver, the two red envelopes amounted to at least two hundred taels.

As soon as the two hundred taels were handed out, it greatly tempted Zhenzhen, Yun Zhao, and Shengsheng, who one after another served the future brother-in-law with "tea."

Although the Mo Family’s days had improved, Mo Yan kept a tight grip on the youngsters’ pocket money, not wanting them to develop a spendthrift habit. This time, nobody thought the silver in their red envelopes was too little.

However, the red envelopes the youngsters received were smaller than Xin Er’s, each containing two gold copper coins of six taels, six coins, and sixty-six copper coins. Converted into silver, this amounted to over one hundred taels as well.

Zhenzhen, the little slicker, wasn’t satisfied with serving "tea" just once. He also brought over sweet wine rice balls and fish ball soup and managed to glean ten more red envelopes before stopping under Mo Qingze’s glaring supervision.

Worried that his old man would settle scores after the autumn, he smartly shared the extra red envelopes with his brothers and sisters.

When Liu Tinglan arrived at the main hall, Xiao Ruiyuan had just handed out the last pair of red envelopes. She found the matchmaker who had accompanied Xiao Ruiyuan and hinted that she should hurry on to the next event, where the bridegroom should knock on the bride’s door, so as not to miss the auspicious time.

The matchmaker, misunderstanding just like Liu Tinglan and thinking the bride couldn’t wait any longer, covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled ambiguously. She stepped forward and whispered Mo Yan’s intentions into Xiao Ruiyuan’s ear.

Xiao Ruiyuan, naturally wanting to bring his bride home sooner, heeded the matchmaker’s loud reminder and, surrounded by people, made his way to Mo Yan’s courtyard, only to be blocked by Mao Tuan lying across the entrance.

"What does this mean? Is this the final challenge, where you, the bridegroom, must personally take on the test?" Yan Junyu asked with some schadenfreude, watching the unmoving Mao Tuan glaring at Xiao Ruiyuan.

Xiao Ruiyuan glanced at Yan Junyu and remained silent. He tried to walk past Mao Tuan, but the beast exposed its gaping maw and angrily swiped at him with its paw.

Although it didn’t connect, the message was clear: defeat me if you wish to pass.

There was no red sash tied on Mao Tuan’s back, indicating that the challenge was a simple battle of strength, continuing until Mao Tuan was completely defeated. Whether it would result in bloodshed or not was unpredictable, and all they could do was to try to avoid it. It would be difficult for Xiao Ruiyuan to win.

Xiao Ruiyuan had always known that Mao Tuan didn’t like him; every visit to the Mo Family only highlighted the beast’s animosity. While other animals with a friendlier disposition would greet him, the worse ones ignored him outright. Mao Tuan, however, always watched him closely with disturbing intensity. In any case, it wasn’t a surprise to Xiao Ruiyuan that it was blocking his way, and he understood why Mo Yan had asked him to come over earlier.

As for fighting, Xiao Ruiyuan was never afraid, and it wasn’t the first time he’d engaged in battle with a ferocious beast like Mao Tuan. He glanced at his wedding robe, which was not suitable for a fight, rolling up the generous hem and tucking it into his belt. He reminded himself to be careful not to damage his clothes before his wedding ceremony.

Amid gasps of astonishment from the onlookers, Xiao Ruiyuan jumped forward. Without seeing how he moved, they only saw a flash as a fiery red figure zipped by like an apparition, moving lithely as a dragon, easily capturing the gaze of everyone, leaving them unable to follow with their eyes.

"General, what skilled movements."

The crowd’s eyes lit up, praising in unison. Most of them didn’t understand martial arts, but they could tell that Xiao Ruiyuan’s smooth movements were more impressive than Yan Junyu’s and other combatants’ previous fight with the four beasts.

"Roar——" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Mao Tuan, refusing to be outdone, let out a heaven-shaking roar. As Xiao Ruiyuan lunged, its powerful hind legs propelled it forward like an arrow released from the string, its paw striking towards Xiao Ruiyuan, its perceived adversary.

Mao Tuan’s combat power was only slightly less than Little Flower’s. Had it faced any of the four who had fought earlier, it might have stood a chance, but against Xiao Ruiyuan, it had no choice but to fight with all its might.

Seeing the ferocious and battle-ready Mao Tuan, the crowd couldn’t help but worry for the bridegroom. After all, this was a king among beasts, a tiger, and no ordinary tiger at that—it was noticeably larger than normal tigers, looking all the more formidable.
