Chapter 91 [VIP]
Feeling that her actions were abrupt, Mi Yao tried to run away after biting him, but before she could move, Xiao Chuan pressed down on her back with his large hand, forcing her to lean against his chest.
This posture isn't bad; at least you don't have to look at each other face-to-face.
However, as Mi Yao lay on Xiao Chuan's chest, she felt his vigorous and powerful heart pounding so hard that her entire chest trembled. The longer she stayed in his arms, the more uncomfortable she became.
When people are uncomfortable, they are more likely to do inappropriate things.
Mi Yao opened her mouth: "Do you know what my sister-in-law said when she left?"
At this moment, Xiao Chuan wasn't curious about what anyone said, but when he heard Mi Yao's coquettish question, he hummed in response.
"She told me to persuade you not to be reckless, not to be brave behind closed doors, and to give you the medicine as soon as you go out."
Xiao Chuan didn't understand what she meant at first, but when he heard Mi Yao chuckle as she spoke, he grabbed her hand and started to pull her down to find his ox. Realizing the path he was taking with her hand, Mi Yao struggled desperately, barely managing to break free just before he touched her.
This time, it was Xiao Chuan who laughed.
The clear, cheerful laughter sounded like a child who had successfully pulled off a prank; it was so irritating that you wanted to punch him.
Knowing that her nervousness and struggles were all Xiao Chuan's way of manipulating her emotions, Mi Yao raised her foot and stomped on him hard.
"I didn't say those words, why are you bullying me?"
"I didn't do anything to upset you. I just wanted you to know directly that I'm still energetic where I should be after taking the medicine."
His only worry before taking the medicine was that he would become an infertile eunuch after taking it. Only after Doctor Jiang's repeated assurances did he feel at ease to take it.
Reality proved that the drug did not affect his abilities.
Mi Yao didn't want to discuss this issue with Xiao Chuan, and she didn't even want to glance down at his waist, afraid that he would think her unintentional gaze had an inviting meaning.
However, there were still things she was curious about.
"I've only ever heard of women drinking contraceptive soup after intercourse, and the reason why women drink it after intercourse is understandable, but what are you drinking after intercourse?"
When Zhen Jing said that Xiao Chuan drank herbal medicine as soon as he went out, she laughed and then became puzzled. Although she thought Xiao Chuan wasn't that stupid to get the order of taking medicine wrong, who could say for sure?
"Dr. Jiang said that the medicine can also be drunk as a herbal tea, so I used it to reduce internal heat."
Xiao Chuan's expression was serious, but Mi Yao could detect a hint of smugness in his magnetic voice.
Its strength is so great that it needed herbal tea to suppress its effects after eating all night; it truly lives up to its reputation as a donkey.
Seeing the look of disgust in her almond-shaped eyes, Xiao Chuan lunged forward and pulled Mi Yao back into his arms: "Back to the room?"
Raising her head, Mi Yao tried to discern any reluctance on Xiao Chuan's face, but his expression only showed longing and excitement, without a trace of reluctance.
"Where do you get your stamina from? Is that thing really that interesting?"
Mi Yao, with a stern face, tried to dampen Xiao Chu's enthusiasm from the perspectives of ethics and health, "Haven't you heard that lust is the root of all evil? And what about the saying that one drop of semen is worth ten drops of blood?"
“Interesting. If it were you, I would be willing to shed every drop of my blood for you.”
As he spoke, Xiao Chuan buried his head and bit Mi Yao's ear, leaving a tooth mark on the tip of her ear.
Mi Yao: ...
No amount of reasoning works on a stray dog in heat.
"So, falling in love is like an eagle catching a chick."
Xiao Liang painstakingly climbed the artificial hill, only to see Xiao Chuan throw Mi Yao into his arms. Before he could take another look, Xiao Yi caught him and half-pulled him down the artificial hill.
"How dare you peek at everything, including Shan'er!"
Seeing that Xiao Shan wanted to sneak up the artificial hill from behind him, Xiao Yi immediately pulled her into his arms.
"I want to go up, big brother, please carry Shanshan up!"
When her attempt to sneak away was thwarted, Xiao Shan blinked and looked at Xiao Yi obediently.
Seeing his sister pull this tactic, Xiao Liang grabbed Xiao Yi's sleeve and shook his finger, saying, "Brother, let us go up!"
Since she started speaking, Xiao Shan has become increasingly fluent, and now she speaks more coherently than children her age, making him almost forget what it was like when she couldn't speak before.
And my younger brother is the same. He used to be a pushover, and I only dared to hide behind him. Now, he can shut anyone up with just one word.
As for him, Xiao Yi looked at his increasingly powerful hands; he had changed quite a bit as well.
Do you remember when you were little?
Unable to resist his younger sister and brother's coquettishness, but also unable to let them bother his parents, Xiao Yi could only hold one in each hand and lean against the artificial rockery to reminisce about the past.
"Yes, I remember. I was just as pretty when I was a child as I am now."
Xiao Shan tilted her head and said in a childish voice, "Now, except when she's facing Xiao Chuan, she often forgets to act cute, but at other times she is very clear that she is very cute."
Her fair, chubby face, with two buns on top of her head, was small except for her large eyes.
Xiao Yi poked his younger sister's flat nose: "Hmm, Shan'er has been beautiful since she was little."
"Brother, you're acting like an adult again. We're just kids now."
Xiao Liang sat down next to Xiao Yi, leaned his head on his shoulder, and sighed dramatically, "Brother, don't just think about the past. It seems so good. I'll have to go to the academy after the New Year. When I finish my studies..."
She gave up, watching him insist on hearing the outcome.
Xiao Liang reached out and lifted Xiao Yi's lips, making him reveal not only his teeth but also his gums, while Xiao Shan stretched out his short hand and pulled Xiao Yi's lower eyelids, making him make an ugly face.
"Wow, even our gentlemanly and upright elder brother is drooling!"
The two men ran away after doing something wrong, and Xiao Yi chased after them to catch them. Without even looking at the other side of the artificial hill, they started playing a game of tag on their own.
A clear, cheerful laugh echoed in the courtyard. Even though the sound was far away, Mi Yao tensed up and nudged Xiao Chua uncomfortably.
Mi Yao originally intended to reprimand Xiao Chuan for his lack of restraint, but somehow the two ended up kissing. She mumbled that she wanted to admire the flowers, so Xiao Chuan carried her into the flower bushes.
The light fragrance, perhaps because Xiao Chua was too seductive, was as strong as if flower stamens had been crushed, exuding a lingering sweetness.
"Hearing such innocent laughter, how could you still stand up?"
The flowerbed was filled with weeds and insects. Xiao Chuan was thick-skinned and thick-skinned, but Mi Yao was not as carefree as him. So Xiao Chuan simply lifted the cloth and let Mi Yao do some handicrafts.
To be honest, seeing such a branch amidst all the vibrant colors was quite unappetizing, so she tried to keep her gaze on his face and picked a crimson double-petaled hibiscus to adorn behind his ear.
Xiao Chuan didn't speak, but gave Mi Yao the answer through his actions.
A flush of intoxication rose on her wheat-colored skin. In the night, as the color shifted from orange to blue, her neck was held high, her dry, thin lips made a weak swallowing motion, and a dewdrop fell from the corner of her eye.
Mi Yao had to admit that this flower viewing experience was more special than any she had ever had before, satisfying her visual desires.
Zhen Jing carried her daughter back to the house where the Yu family lived. As soon as she arrived, she felt that she had come back at the perfect time.
Everyone inside was crying, men and women, loudly and softly. An outsider might have thought Yu Chengda had died.
"What happened?"
Fearing her daughter would cry along with her, Zhen Jing first went inside to settle the child and instructed the wet nurse to look after her before going to find Yu Shaoyang, who was watching a play, and quietly asked him what was wrong.
"What else could it be but retribution?"
Yu Shaoyang crossed his arms and glanced sideways at the group, a smirk playing on his lips, making no attempt to hide his schadenfreude.
He first pointed to Yu Yiqing: "This one wanted to seduce a married man, but he ignored her, so she went to please the elders, and then the elders betrothed her to a fool."
Zhen Jing already knew about Yu Yiqing's matter at the Xiao residence, but that didn't stop her from finding it funny when Yu Shaoyang mentioned it now.
"This mistress is restless and wants to conspire with the man to kill the original wife. Now the original wife not only wants a divorce but also justice. The Ji family is a powerful family in Yizhou. Gu Yunxiao has been framed, so she will naturally not get away with it."
Yu Shaoyang nodded his chin at Yu Shaoqing, and then, annoyed that the crying in the room had subsided, he raised his voice to comment: "This is interesting too. They hired someone to play the hero saves the beauty trick, but they were exposed. The person they hired was hung up and beaten by the other family's servants, and they sold him out. In addition to getting a beating, he also lost any chance of climbing the social ladder in Yizhou."
"It's either you or Yu Miyao. Who else but the two of you would harm me!"
As the male heir, Yu Shaoqing received a great deal of resources from the Yu family. He believed that he was handsome and intelligent, and if it weren't for the current unfavorable situation, which made it unwise to be ostentatious, he could have made great achievements and was no less than Xiao Chuan.
A man like him naturally deserves a noblewoman from a prestigious family. He was already wronged to be forced to come to this remote place, Yizhou, to find a wife. Who knew that those people would dare to laugh at him, saying that he looked like a woman and telling him to go back to Jiangnan.
"You have to prove it, even if you're caught red-handed. You're saying that Hu Hu and I framed you. Do you have any evidence?"
Yu Shaoyang glared at Yu Shaoqing: "Besides, you were caught doing something despicable, and the person who exposed you is acting on behalf of heaven. You think you're right!"
"Did you send people to steal our silver?!"
Yu Chengda had just arrived in Yizhou and was planning to make a big splash and complete the family mission, but seeing that Mi Yao and Yu Shaoyang were not cooperating and his son-in-law looked like a demon, he put the mission out of his mind after muttering to himself for a while.
He spent his days drinking and enjoying himself with beautiful women, and he didn't think he was bothering anyone.
Who knew that he would be robbed twice in Yizhou City? His newly bought beauty, seeing that he had no money, packed up his remaining belongings under the cover of night, left a letter that had nothing to do with the child in her belly, and ran away.
Having suffered such a great loss, he wanted Yu Shaoyang to arrest the person, but Yu Shaoyang made excuses. He went to find Xiao Chuan, but Xiao Chuan also avoided him.
But he couldn't bear the shame of reporting it to the authorities.
"I'm your father, how could you do this to me!" Yu Chengda glared angrily, his relaxed and refined demeanor completely gone.
“Father, you yourself said that you are my father. How could I possibly harm you? I am a civil official, not a military one. You have seen how many servants I have at home. Where am I supposed to find people for you?”
"If you're determined, how could you not find a way? And your sister, after she got married, she doesn't even acknowledge me as her father anymore!"
Yu Shaoyang's words did not fool Yu Chengda; instead, they fueled his anger. "I think you two siblings are just trying to team up to piss me off!"
In his eyes, the brother and sister were both possessed by ghosts, and neither of them had changed their former personalities. Mi Yao, in particular, was like a completely different person, so cold and ruthless towards her own father.
"There's nothing I can do about what my father thinks."
As Yu Shaoyang spoke, he took off the purse from his waist and presented it to Yu Chengda with both hands. “Father has no money on hand right now. This is my monthly salary. I will give it to you for your expenses from now on. As for your son, I can only live off my wife’s dowry for the time being.”
He spoke as if he were a filial son, but when Yu Chengda opened the brocade bag, there were only four strings of silver inside, which were not even worth as much as the bag that contained them.
Yu Chengda angrily slammed the silver pouch on the ground, patting his chest before finally catching his breath.
Regardless of whether Yu Chengda would be so angry that he would die, Yu Shaoyang used the excuse that he had official business to attend to and led Zhen Jing out of the hall.
"Why did you bring Manman back? This place is a mess. If you want to hear about their fate, I'll go to the Xiao residence."
"I came back because I missed you."
Zhen Jing playfully pinched Yu Shaoyang's waist, "When Hu Hu and your brother-in-law were in a passionate relationship, I just stood by and watched the show. Now that they're all lovey-dovey, I feel superfluous and wanted to come back and see how your abs are doing."
"Naturally, he is as strong as an ox."
Yu Shaoyang cheerfully stopped his wife from going back to their room; the slight annoyance he felt from being pestered by his own father had been soothed by his wife.
Yu Jiayin was afraid that things would really escalate to the authorities, so she chased after Yu Shaoyang out of the house to ask for his help. She happened to see Yu Shaoyang and Zhen Jing being affectionate. When Yu Shaoyang heard the noise, he glared at her fiercely and made a "get lost" mouth shape with the corner of his mouth.
She hesitated for a moment, and the door between the two rooms was tightly closed, denying her a chance to speak.
