Farm Girl's Manor-Chapter 1355: Extra Story Six: Awkwardness

The man was clearly smiling, and his tone was very gentle, but Mo Yan felt a sense of unease in her heart and dared not tell the truth no matter what. So she adamantly denied it, "That’s not true. I’m not a roundworm in mother’s belly, how could I know what she would say to you?"

As he watched her darting little eyes that refused to meet his, the corners of Xiao Ruiyuan’s mouth deepened into a smile, "Since my lady says she doesn’t know, then I shall believe that my lady truly doesn’t know! However... I hope my lady has not deceived me, otherwise..."

He stopped there without going on, but Mo Yan clearly understood that this guy was threatening her.

Mo Yan bit her teeth, really wanting to pounce on this man who always found various excuses to bully her. But she truly did not dare to, even though she was impressively strong, she was no match for him. Any slight resistance would become his rightful excuse to "punish" her, which was really shameless.

Yet Xiao Ruiyuan was amused by her puffed up little look of anger and quickly leaned down to steal a kiss from the corner of her mouth, then firmly took her hand without allowing refusal and walked out of the room in a pleased manner.

Falling behind, Yuan Yue and Er Mei looked at their mistress’s reluctant little expression and constantly struggling hands, and exchanged a helpless glance, both seeing sympathy in each other’s eyes.

The couple arrived at the front courtyard and bid farewell to Cui Qingrou. Amid Cui Qingrou’s careful reminders, they boarded the carriage and gradually drove away from Liu Yang Village.

Opening the carriage window and pulling back the curtains, Xiao Ruiyuan felt somewhat headache-ridden looking at the four creatures following leisurely behind the carriage.

Having just one tiger had already cost him half of his marital bliss, and now, with four more appearing out of nowhere, where would he stand in front of his wife?

A dark shadow fell across Xiao Ruiyuan’s eyes, and an idea began to form in his heart.

For Mo Yan, seeing her husband who appeared to be less than happy, her mood was exceedingly cheerful—it seemed like she could have a good night’s sleep tonight!

In fact, Mo Yan became happy too soon.

Xiao Ruiyuan, satisfied, held his swooning wife, gently placed a hand on her small belly, and a look of anticipation appeared on his handsome face.

He had no particular desires for children, but if there could be a child carrying the blood of both him and his wife, he wouldn’t mind putting in a bit more effort.

At that moment, Mao Tuan released from Space and the four creatures that had just arrived at the General Mansion were already tangled up by dozens of Hidden Guards. Both sides unfolded a spectacular bout of friendly sparring in the front yard, and the five creatures, engrossed in their fight, seemed to have forgotten their master who was awaiting their rescue with high hopes.

The next day, Mo Yan woke up later than usual, feeling heavy-headed and light-footed after being fed by Xiao Ruiyuan, and her mind cleared up enough to remember the five creatures that hadn’t appeared last night.

Biting down on the hand wiping her mouth as if to vent her anger, Mo Yan asked annoyedly, "What have you done to the creatures? Where did you take them?"

Xiao Ruiyuan looked at the eight fresh red bite marks on the back of his hand and showed a puzzled expression, "Last night, I was about to send the creatures to the military camp on the outskirts to train the soldiers, which is something the lady ‛personally’ agreed to. Could it be that my lady doesn’t remember?"

Upon hearing the creatures were sent to the military camp, Mo Yan didn’t bother to think about whether she had "personally" agreed to it last night and immediately became furious, "You actually sent the creatures to the military camp? How could you do such a thing?"

Xiao Ruiyuan stroked his wife’s hair and soothed her softly, "My lady, please calm down. If the creatures weren’t willing, do you think I could have forced them?"

When Mo Yan heard this, she calmed down a bit, but her face still looked troubled, "It must have been your scheming, how would the creatures ever think to go to the military camp? Hmph, petty-minded, always coming up with rotten ideas, don’t think that by doing this, I won’t have ways to stop your mischief."

Xiao Ruiyuan replied helplessly, "The General Mansion is not like my father-in-law’s house, where the creatures can go into the mountains to have fun anytime. Confined to the General Mansion, they would a) be unhappy, and b) gradually lose their wildness. They love challenging fights, and there are mountains and canyons near the military camp. They can have companions for fights and also have convenience for going out and playing. Isn’t that better than being trapped in the General Mansion?"

Of course, Xiao Ruiyuan wouldn’t deny that these considerations were born out of his own selfishness. He did not want the creatures to overly interfere in their marital life, but also did not want to resort to force that could make his wife unhappy and cause strife between them. Thus, he found a perfectly reasonable excuse to send the creatures to the military camp.
