The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 784: Injurious Marriage (1)

The next day was a sunny day with bright sun and white clouds. Before noon, the snow on the ground had almost melted.

 Last night, Xiao Ruiyuan finally found a chance to be alone with Mo Yan, but he was bumped into by Mo Qingze before he said a few words. Today, he tried his best to talk to Mo Yan, but Mo Qingze calmly blocked them all. Except for Chu Heng, who knew the inside story, no one else noticed anything.

 Looking at his cousin's failure, Chu Heng couldn't stand it anymore. While Mo Yan and others were cooking in the kitchen, he insisted on going to the fields to look at the vegetables in the greenhouse, but on the pretext of checking the carriage, he left Xiao Ruiyuan, who was inseparable from him.

 Just let the two accompanying guards handle the inspection of the carriage. Why does Xiao Ruiyuan need to do it himself?

 Mo Qingze suspected Chu Heng’s true intentions, but as the master, he had to accompany him. Others were also very interested in the vegetables in the greenhouse. They were bored staying at home, so they put on their clogs and planned to go to the fields to see them together.

"Yunjin, aren't you going?" Mr. Liu, who was changing his clogs, asked suspiciously when he saw Shen Ji standing still. Seeing that he was not in good spirits and had black and blue eyes, he guessed that it was the first time he stayed at Mo's house and he didn't sleep well at night.

Shen Ji had indeed suffered from insomnia last night. When Mr. Liu asked about it, he couldn't help but think of the fact that the girl in his heart was engaged, and his face became darker. He forced himself to cheer up and said with a forced smile: "I didn't get a good rest last night. Yun Jin is so sleepy that she won't go because she's afraid that she might fall asleep even while walking."

"Well, you really don't look good. It's best to go back to your room and have a rest." After hearing this, Mr. Liu did not force himself. After giving the instructions, he and his wife followed Han Zhiyun's family in front.

Most of the people left at once. In addition to Mo Yan, Li Xiu and the others, there were Xiao Ruiyuan, Shen Ji and Liu Tinglan who had visited the vegetable field a few days ago but did not go this time.

Liu Tinglan stayed in the kitchen, helping Mo Yan light the fire under the stove, and secretly ate the delicious dishes just out of the pot. From time to time, she could hear the hearty laughter coming from the kitchen.

 After lunch, he was about to return to the city, so Xiao Ruiyuan went to the backyard to check the carriage. After the inspection, he came to the kitchen and saw Shen Ji standing outside the kitchen, seeming to be listening to the chatter and laughter inside.

Xiao Ruiyuan stepped forward and said with a dark face: "What are you doing here?"

 A person suddenly appeared behind him. Shen Ji was startled. He turned around and saw Xiao Ruiyuan, and he couldn't help but look a little flustered: "No, it's nothing!"

In Xiao Ruiyuan's eyes, this look was no different from a guilty conscience, so he decided that he had ulterior motives for standing here, so he warned in a cold voice: "Some people are not what you should think about, otherwise you will only harm others and yourself!"

The words were obviously spoken under a misunderstanding, but they hit the mark in Shen Ji's heart, making his already ugly face even more ugly. He actually had no intention of thinking about what Xiao Ruiyuan said about "some people". If it was in his heart What qualifications does he have to say that to the person he is thinking of!

 Looking at Shen Ji leaving in embarrassment, Xiao Ruiyuan frowned. Could it be that in Uncle Mo's heart, he lost to such a cowardly and incompetent person?

But it’s always nice to have one less annoying person in front of you. Xiao Ruiyuan stepped into the kitchen, ignoring the looks from Li Xiu and others, and stared intently at Mo Yan, who was stir-frying with a spoon.

Mo Yan’s attention was all on the pot, and she didn’t notice that there was an extra person in the kitchen.

Xiao Ruiyuan's eyes were too focused and too gentle. Even Li Yan and Tang Xin, who were still in love, could see something strange.

 Li Yan put down the kitchen knife, walked quietly to her aunt, and whispered: "Aunt, why do I always feel that something is wrong with the way Mr. Xiao looks at Sister Yan Yan?" It was completely different from his usual cold look.
