Farm Girl's Manor

At that moment, Shen Ji gazed intently into the courtyard, though it was unclear what or whom he saw, or what he heard, an uncontrollable smile spread across his gentle face, adding an unusual brilliance to an already handsome visage.

Xiao Ruiyuan followed his gaze and saw Mo Yan feigning anger as she tugged on the ears of two creatures, his face darkened instantly, and his eyes, sharp as knives, shot daggers at Shen Ji.

Ever since he became aware of Shen Ji as a "competitor," Xiao Ruiyuan had always viewed him in a poor light, yet he couldn’t deny that Shen Ji indeed met the Mo Family’s criteria for a son-in-law more closely than himself. He was by no means a kind-hearted soul, nor was he inclined to play dirty behind the scenes, but with such an audacious man standing right in front of him, coveting the one he loved, he couldn’t help feeling a murderous impulse.

Unaware that he had been cast as the hypothetical enemy or of the dark thoughts of another, Shen Ji couldn’t take his eyes off the bright and dazzling woman in the courtyard, yet he felt that such peeping was not befitting of a gentleman and hastily averted his gaze, his fair cheeks quietly flushed with a touch of red...

Mo Yan was true to her word; during dinner, she indeed didn’t provide any food for the two fools.

Little Flower and Mao Tuan, the brothers in hardship, drooled over the table full of delicious dishes. With those shiny, bright eyes fixed on them, who could bear to eat?

Everyone knew they would not accept food from anyone other than Mo Yan, yet they couldn’t resist offering the tasty sauce-covered bones to them. The two creatures merely glanced longingly before turning their gazes back to their owner, knowing that with just a nod from her, they would soon be able to enjoy a good meal.

Mo Yan’s expression remained unchanged, and she calmly continued to eat and drink. This time, she was determined to teach the two simple-minded creatures a lesson; otherwise, if there were to be a next time, she really would break her back, which was still sore and aching from cooking.

When everyone had finished eating and the dishes were cleared away, the two fools finally shifted their butts and watched with saliva dripping as Dabai and the Golden Beast feasted heartily.

After running a hundred laps around the yard, driven by unbearable hunger, Mao Tuan was somewhat better off, simply looking on eagerly, while Little Flower, with thicker skin, cautiously approached Dabai, hoping Dabai would share some food. But Dabai didn’t even spare a glance, elegantly finishing every last bit from the bowl, not even leaving a drop of soup behind.

Finally losing hope, Little Flower listlessly dragged its broom-like tail to a corner and curled up there, looking as pitiful as can be.
