Chapter 839 Boudoir Secrets in the Springtime (4)
"Don’t talk nonsense!" Mo Yan gently patted her friend and, seeing her sister’s frightened face, chided, "Xin Er is still here. You’re scaring her with all your wild talk!"
Xin Er indeed felt scared. A twelve-year-old girl, her understanding of love was just beginning to form. Seeing how well her sister and new brother-in-law got along, as if they couldn’t wait to get married and be together, she’d always thought that marriage was a wonderful thing. But upon hearing Miss Liu’s shocking opinions, which seemed to make sense, she found herself unable to determine if marriage was good or bad, feeling utterly lost for a moment.
Seeing her state, Mo Yan quickly took her sister’s hand, sat her down, and consoled, "Don’t listen to Miss Liu’s nonsense. You are still young, just let it go for now. When you grow up and have your own thoughts and judgment, you’ll understand what’s true. Don’t fixate on this now, alright?"
Xin Er came back to her senses and nodded emphatically, "Mmm, I shouldn’t be listening to these things anyway. I won’t think about them. I just hope my sister and Miss Liu both find happiness; otherwise, I’ll start getting all sorts of ideas!"
By the end, Xin Er couldn’t help but let out a laugh.
"Exactly! What we three have talked about today, you two make sure not to mention it outside. If the adults hear it, we’ll all be in trouble!" warned Mo Yan to Xin Er and Liu Tinglan.

Liu Tinglan knew the seriousness of the matter and didn’t need to be reminded by Mo Yan; Xin Er didn’t quite understand but still nodded her little head in agreement.
