The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Therefore, she had no choice but to persistently read the Three Character Classic to the children every day. As they grew older, she began to make up little stories to read to them.

Days without Ye Zi’an at home were undoubtedly lonely, but having two sons with her made her days feel stable and reassuring.

As for the Cao Family, she originally thought they would come to find her again, but since that last encounter, they hadn’t visited at all, which she found quite strange, though she didn’t give it much more thought. Little did she know, the Cao Family had ambitiously gone directly to Brother An, angering her beyond belief when she found out, but that’s a story for later.

Shandong Prefecture City

The party led by Mu Shaoling had been rushing northward at full speed since they left the Yang Family, stopping only for necessary rest.

"We’ll stay here for a day; I have some matters to attend to," said Mu Shaoling.

"Brother Shaoling, what matters do you have to attend to? Don’t tell me there’s a beauty you want to meet here," teased Luo Linhao.

Mu Shaoling shot him a glance, "Not like you, always thinking about beauties."

"Pfft, isn’t that all men?"

"What kind of man are you? Is your stick sturdy and solid yet? Big enough? Thick enough?" Mu Shaoling added, throwing a glance toward Luo Linhao’s crotch as he spoke.

Immediately, Luo Linhao was mortified. You say what you want to say, but why do you have to look?

However, his embarrassment quickly passed, and he chuckled, "Yours might be big and thick, but what’s the use? It’s useless if no one needs it. What’s the point in having something that’s never used?"

In the art of infuriating people, these folks were each more poisonous-tongued than the last, a perfect example of ’birds of a feather flock together,’ with all the acerbic ones gathered in one place.

"Do you believe I can make your stick stop growing right now?" Mu Shaoling said with a chilling look in his eyes.

Instantly, Luo Linhao clammed up. It is said that medicine and poison come from the same family, so Brother Shaoling not only had medical skills but also knew some poisons. If he really administered some drug that stunted the growth of Luo Linhao’s ’stick,’ it wasn’t entirely impossible.

"You two have had enough, haven’t you? Can’t you restrain yourself a bit in public, talking about such things?"

Mu Shaofeng riding beside them felt utterly speechless. Couldn’t they have a little shame?

"Brother Shaofeng, don’t blame me, he started it," Luo Linhao quickly turned the tables toward Mu Shaoling.

But Mu Shaoling clearly had no interest in arguing and continued riding forward after another glance.

Neither the Luo Family nor the Mu Family had properties in Shandong, so the group stayed at a guesthouse.

At the guesthouse, Mu Shaofeng and Luo Linhao washed up and went downstairs to order some food, while Mu Shaoling hastily went out after handing his horse to a manservant.

"What could he be in such a rush for?" asked Luo Linhao.

"What else could it be? It’s either Mu Family matters or something your elder cousin An arranged," replied Mu Shaofeng, not finding anything amiss about Mu Shaoling’s departure.

Luo Linhao stroked his chin and said, "My intuition tells me Brother Shaoling is on personal business this time."

"Intuition? Isn’t that something women love to talk about?"

"Heh, don’t doubt it, just wait and see."

Luo Linhao smiled mysteriously, then began to devour his dumplings as if he hadn’t eaten in days. Mu Shaofeng didn’t take his words seriously, dismissing them as a fleeting whim.

But come evening, Mu Shaofeng was nearly gobsmacked, because Mu Shaoling indeed brought back a woman.
