Farm Girl's Manor-Chapter 1356: Extra 6 Contrary_2

"Quibbling! Tonight you’ll sleep alone in the study—I want to sleep by myself," Mo Yan knew his tricks too well, but had to admit that he made some sense.

The five beasts longed for freedom, and it was indeed not good to confine them in the General Mansion constantly. She had consulted the beasts’ opinion on whether they wished to follow her or stay in Liu Yang Village, and they unanimously chose to follow her. However, it was a fact that Jing City didn’t offer the same freedom as Liu Yang Village, and their willingness to go to the military camp to train the soldiers was obviously because they found it amusing.

Being sent to sleep in the study was something Xiao Ruiyuan had heard more than once, and as usual, he embraced her in his arms and breathed softly into his wife’s ear, "It’s cold and freezing out there, without a blanket near her, can my lady sleep easy?"

Mo Yan’s ears grew a bit hot, pushing him with great force, "Keep away from me—I sleep better without you."

Upon hearing those words and looking quite disappointed, Xiao Ruiyuan complied and stepped back a bit, "Since that’s the case, my lady may sleep alone tonight; your husband will make do in the study."

Hearing this left Mo Yan, who had been prepared for him to insist on staying with the excuse of "newlyweds should not sleep apart within the first month," completely stunned, and she said subconsciously, "This will bring bad luck..."

A hint of amusement flickered in Xiao Ruiyuan’s eyes, but he said, "Your husband does not believe in this, my lady need not worry."

Looking at the serious face of Xiao Ruiyuan, Mo Yan found herself speechless. Even though she got what she wanted, her heart felt empty and inexplicably lost. This sense of conflict made her inwardly curse herself fiercely.

Xiao Ruiyuan kept to his word, after dinner he bid Mo Yan goodbye and truly took a brand new quilt to the study.

Mo Yan bathed alone, brushed her hair alone, undressed alone... Lying in bed, she felt uncomfortable, especially after smelling the familiar scent on the other side of the bed—she almost wanted to jump up, get dressed, and drag him back from the study right away.

"Mo Yan, don’t go there; that guy is just waiting for you to walk into his trap." Mo Yan curled up in her blanket, clutching her fists tightly and said to herself, "It must be one of his schemes; if you fall for it, you’ll be under his thumb forever, unable to turn the tables. So you must not go."

Comforting herself like this, Mo Yan felt a bit better, but as she turned unconsciously and smelled that familiar scent again, she started to feel agitated once more, "Maybe I could sneak over and take a look without waking him? But with the Hidden Guard lurking in the shadows, even if I went quietly he’d know, and wouldn’t that just make him even more smug? No, it’s not right, I can’t go!"

Mo Yan closed her eyes, clenched her teeth, and forced herself to try to sleep without letting her mind wander, but in the silence of the night, her thoughts were unusually clear. Angrily, she got up and entered the Space without even properly dressed.

Xue tuanzi was hanging itself from a tree, idly teasing a group of bees that were busy collecting nectar.

Feeling the disturbance in the Space, it immediately released its awareness and "saw" that its master had come in wearing just her undergarments, and it couldn’t help but sneer, "You didn’t just hide out here straight from your bed, did you? That guy is really something; he managed to chase you here, huh!"

Ever since getting married, Mo Yan had been living shamelessly every day, not wanting Xuetuan to notice, keeping her awareness almost completely shielded, which made her interactions with Xuetuan pitifully few. Xuetuan had a belly full of anger, towards Mo Yan and towards Xiao Ruiyuan both.

Mo Yan could hear Xuetuan’s voice and pinpoint its location, but she was too lazy to search tree by tree, so she simply summoned it directly, calling Xuetuan to her side. Holding the small bundle in her hands, Mo Yan rubbed her face against it, coaxing, "Don’t be angry, okay? I was wrong not to keep you company for so long, but I had my reasons."

Then, she poured out her complaints, venting all her grievances about Xiao Ruiyuan, "... After we got married, he became a different person, without one ten-thousandth of his former consideration. Today when I told him to sleep in the study all by himself, he actually grabbed his blanket and left. It’s so infuriating!"

"Hmph, women are just touchy!" Xuetuan looked at Mo Yan with a sidelong glance, its tone disdainful, "You’re the one who told him to sleep in the study, and you’re also the one complaining he followed your orders. If I were a man, you’d probably drive me crazy one day."

"Xuetuan, how can you talk about me like that?" Mo Yan had entered the Space looking for solace, not expecting a verbal assault from Xuetuan, and she failed to realize she was really being capricious, "I can’t believe you would say that, Xuetuan; I really misjudged you!"
