“Yes, most definitely. Your son in law will immediately send a letter to invite my master and his wife to visit. Rest assured, Mother in Law, I will take care of it all and there will be nothing for father in law and mother in law to worry about.”
“Good! Good!”
The more time she spent with him, the more Mrs. Cheng liked this guye. This whole unfolding of the mother-in-law met son-in-law scene was exactly like the old saying: mother-in-law met son-in-law, grow more and more fond.
At this moment in time, the nervous Mo Xuanzun finally was able to relaxed. He had finally taken care of both his father-in-law and mother-in-law; this wife wasn’t going to go anywhere. Now all that was left was how to bag this wife.
Cheng Xiao Xiao, who was inside her herb field, had no idea what was unfolding inside the house; naturally, there were not much she could have done even if she knew, so it was probably better that she didn’t.
Returning from her herb field, Cheng Xiao Xiao ran into someone she hadn’t seen in a long while just outside of the bamboo forest.
“Greetings, shi mei!” Liu Danhuang cupped his hand at her.
Cheng Xiao Xiao was a little surprised. She nodded at him slightly and asked, “Have Danhuang shi xiong been out and about lately?”
“Yes, indeed. I went to delivery official documents to the county government for master,” replied Liu Danhuang in a deep voice.
“How was the trip?”
“It was alright.”
“Well, I won’t keep you any longer.”
She didn’t really have much to talk to him about, nor did she normally enjoy chitchatting so she turned and started walking away.
Gazing at her back for bit, Liu Danhuang summoned up enough courage and asked, “Is he nice to you?”
“….” Cheng Xiao Xiao slowed down in her steps and immediately knew what he was asking. She sighed inwardly and said, “Yes, very nice!”
Having said that, she continued on her way. Liu Danhuang continued to stare at her back for a long, long time. He knew that this shi mei was getting farther and farther from him. So far that he wasn’t even good enough to look up at her.
Mo Xuanzun just stepped foot inside the door and happened to saw the two of them. He also caught the entire conversation and that made him jealous. What’s with all these men lusting after his wife?
“Where are you going?” Seeing the man standing in front of the door, she asked casually.
Mo Xuanzun smiled and walked up to her. He reached out one arm and wrapped it around her waist. Smiling, he said, “Xiao Xiao, I was looking for you. I didn’t see you after I got up this morning, I was wondering where you were!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao stiffened up and tried to struggle free to no avial. She stared at this more and more presumptuous man angrily and said, “What do you think you are doing? Let go!”
“Xiao Xiao, I’m just worried that you are tired. Here, let me help you inside to get some rest!”
Before she could utter another word, Mo Xuanzun took her inside with his arm still wrapped around her. He looked as thoughtful and doting as one could be.
Liu Danhuang was standing where he was the entire time and never left. He witnessed the entire back and forth and also the very handsome guye. All his words made their way to Liu Danhuang, every single one of them.
Immediately, he felt like his heart was gripped by an invisible hand. Even since he was back, he immediately found out that the Cheng’s has a guye now. And this guye had known Cheng Xiao Xiao for a while now. A while back they even made promises to each other privately and this guye finally came and visited the Cheng’s during the auction a while back.
This guye was also approved by his master; all the Cheng’s siblings addressed him as brother-in-law. On top of it all, Miss had announced that she would spend the rest of her life with him, and the entire Willow Village had heard the news.
Judging from the way looked, they were very much in love. Perhaps they would be wedded in the next few days. Liu Danhuang’s face turned a bit pale and he turned around slowly and left in unstable steps.
