Countryside Romance

In the afternoon, Mu Yun went home early to prepare dinner with Madam Huang.

After a while, Lin Jinyan came back. He first piled the prey in his hands in the corner, washed his hands, and then sat down on the table.

As they ate in silence, Mu Yun asked in a testing manner:

"What happened this morning?"

Madam Huang frowned and told him about Lin Jinyan's father's muscle cramps.

Mu Yun nodded and said:

"After that, I would get up an hour earlier every morning. When dad massaged my muscles, would a doctor tell me what kind of posture I need to take to reduce the spasm?"

Mrs Huang frowned and said:

"If you didn't say it, then don't get up early. Originally, there were already a lot of things happening in the store, so don't get busy."

"Originally, when I married into the Lin Clan, I didn't show my father my filial piety. Now, an hour a day is already the minimum."

Seeing her stubbornness, Madam Huang did not say any more words of rejection.

Lin Jinyan continued:

"I've seen this in the medical book. I'll go and look for it later. If there's any way to alleviate Father's pain, then I naturally have to do it."

Afterwards, the three of them fell silent. Only the sounds of Lin Lang gulping down his food could be heard.

The Huang family and Lin Jinyan both discovered the abnormality of Mu Yun. Usually, Mu Yun would talk about the strange happenings in the town, or about the business situation in the shop. Sometimes, she would even talk about her own whimsical thoughts. It was not normal for things to be so quiet today.

Mrs Huang gave Lin Jinyan a look, but Lin Jinyan nodded.

After the meal, the Huang family sent Lin Lang to wash the dishes while she massaged Lin Jinyan's father's muscles.

Mu Yun went straight back to her room and Lin Jinyan followed him in.

"If you have anything to say, then say it, don't hold it in."

Mu Yun turned her back to Lin Jinyan and didn't speak.

Lin Jinyan let out a sigh when he saw her angry expression. He walked behind her and hugged her.

"Since we're husband and wife, then we naturally have to speak in person if there's anything to say. We don't want any misunderstandings in the future, and it'll be difficult to salvage the situation."

Although Mu Yun knew it was true, she felt that something wasn't right when she said it. She couldn't say what it felt like, but she didn't want to say it.

"Do you still take me for an outsider?"

Lin Jinyan's words made Mu Yun subconsciously retort:

"No." After opening her mouth, it became much easier to talk later on. Mu Yun frowned, "Did you meet a woman this morning?"

Lin Jinyan raised her eyebrows. Mu Yun actually knew about this.

He didn't take this matter to heart. What he wanted to do the most right now was to let his family eat and drink to their heart's content. No one would starve. The other thing he wanted to do was to pamper Mu Yun.

"I just don't like those rogues who frame others because of a few taels of silver. When I saw them bullying those two girls, I thought of how they bullied you, so I took action to take care of those hooligans. "

After listening to Lin Jinyan's explanation, Mu Yun felt much better, but she still felt uncomfortable.

From Lin Jinyan's words, one could tell that he didn't save that rich family's young lady because of Yan Wu's words of liking that young lady's beauty, nor was he going to save her immediately. He only acted as if he was saving her because of her. Actually, he only wanted to vent his anger and take care of those hooligans. Although Mu Yun knew that Lin Jinyan should look like this, she still felt a bit uncomfortable in her heart. It was like a stone was rubbing against her heart. Although it wasn't painful, it was still uncomfortable.

"Since it's such a simple matter, why didn't you tell me?"

"These kinds of things are just grains of sand stuck to my clothes. If I were to casually pat them, they would drop. How could I take it to heart?"

Hearing his words, Mu Yun became even happier.

In Lin Jinyan's eyes, all women other than herself were dust and sand.

Mu Yun understood the hidden meaning behind Lin Jinyan's words, and the last bit of discomfort in her heart also disappeared.

Lin Jinyan suddenly remembered the scene when he met Miss Fu a few days ago at the fur seller's town. Fang Jianyan understood, Mu Yun … He was jealous.

Lin Jinyan saw that Mu Yun seemed to have calmed down and was a bit excited, she couldn't help but hug her and kiss her rosy cheeks.

"In the future, if you have anything to say, just say it out loud. If I don't say it out loud, how can I explain it? Since you can't hear my explanation, you will naturally make wild guesses and make yourself feel even worse. If you are in pain, then I am not well either. "

Hearing Lin Jinyan's ambiguous words, Mu Yun felt as if her chest was filled with honey, and her heart seemed to jump out of her throat in excitement.

Embarrassed, she buried her face in Lin Jinyan's chest and said in a muffled voice,

"It's all because of your charm. No matter if it's from the town or the village, how many girls are mesmerized by you. "I'm just afraid that if you give them the slightest hint, they'll hold on tightly to you and not let you go. In the end, they'll all turn into smoke, all day long wanting you to divorce me."

"Naturally, I won't divorce you." After Lin Jinyan finished speaking, she noticed that Muyun was still unhappy and added, "Of course I won't show goodwill to other girls. In my eyes, you're the best."

When Mu Yun heard this, she was satisfied.

The two of them were deeply in love, but they didn't know that there was a plot waiting for them.

The Chen Clan.

During the day, after Yan Wu had complained to Mu Yun, he wanted to go straight home. After all, something happened in the town, so she didn't dare to stay any longer. However, she found Miss Fu who was pestering Lin Jinyan in the morning.

Previously, Lin Jinyan was pestered by a rich girl at the fur dealer's place. She wanted to work with that rich girl, but she couldn't catch that person. After that, the rich girl disappeared.

This time, this rich young miss seemed to be even richer than that rich young lady. Yan Wu had learned his lesson and followed closely behind that rich young lady.

Miss Fu finally entered a manor.

The signboard of the manor had the words "Chen Residence" on it.

Yan Wu thought, this rich family's young lady has the same surname as him, perhaps she is going back to the origin of the family.

She happily noted down this rich family's young miss' residence and then told this matter to the Lady Yuan upon her return home.

Yan Wu exaggerated Lin Jinyan and Miss Fu's encounter with Yuan Shi.

Madam Yuan felt that this rich young lady was much more reliable than when she met a rich young lady at the fur dealer's place.

This young miss of a rich family was wearing a rabbit hair vest, but that young miss of a rich family was wearing plain clothes.

And they forgot that the rich young lady went to the fur dealer and bought the skin of the watercress. The fur of a water sphinx is much more precious than a rabbit's fur

The two of them made a deal, and the next day, they would pay a visit to the Chen Estate.

Although the young miss from the rich family surnamed Chen did not know the Chen family, the words' mother and daughter 'was Lin Jinyan. Since she knew Lin Jinyan, and coincidentally had a good impression of Lin Jinyan, she naturally invited the two of them in.

Yan Wu and Lady Chen walked in circles around the mansion for a long time. Both of them were dazzled by the sight of the garden on both sides of the veranda. Even in the early spring, the backyard of the Chen Mansion was filled with a group of beautiful flowers and birds.

When the two saw the young miss of the rich family with the surname Chen, they first exchanged their names and then realized that this young miss of the Chen family was called Chen Mo.

After hearing that they were from the An clan and weren't from the east side of the city, the rich clan's young miss was quite displeased.

Yan Wu could see through her thoughts, so he directly told her about the Lin Clan. She had always had plans for the Chen Lin Clan, so she naturally knew about them. From Lin Jinyan's father all the way to Lin Lang, he spoke everything he knew.

When the young lady heard that Lin Jinyan's father was bedridden all year round with a little girl in tow, she was very dissatisfied with the state of Lin Jinyan's family." Afterwards, he heard Yan Wu say that Lin Jinyan often hunted and got a lot of precious fur. Even her wife had a pair of fox-fur sleeves and a scarf.

When Chen Mo heard this, he was extremely jealous.

Although her family was rich, they weren't extremely rich. Although the rabbit fur vest she wore wasn't worth much money, it was something that she could afford, but it was nothing compared to fox fur. Not to mention the skin of a water sprite.

Chen Mo gritted his teeth as he thought to himself about snatching Lin Jinyan away.

She didn't want Lin Jinyan's messy relatives. She only wanted Lin Jinyan to be herself, so she considered marrying Lin Jinyan into her family.

Only then did she realize that the mother and daughter pair were very strange. They were very familiar with Lin Jinyan, and the reason they wanted to meet her was also because they had caught her eye.

"What is your purpose for coming to find me?"

Yan Wu looked at Yuan Shi and said with a smile:

"You should have heard Lin Jin say that he's already married. And his wife was very devoted. "If you want to marry Lin Jinyan, you have to make him divorce you first."

"Of course I would think about it, but what does it have to do with you?"

When Lady Chen and her daughter saw how direct Chen Mo was, they too retracted their wriggling thoughts.

Yan Wu said bluntly:

"To be honest, I also have deep feelings for Lin Jinyan. It's just that there's a woman between us and it's very unpleasant. "Even if I ask to marry you as my concubine, that woman is still unwilling. I can help you get Lin Jinyan to divorce her, but you must promise me that after Lin Jinyan marries you, she will also marry me."

Chen Mo immediately wanted to sneer and refuse.

However, after she carefully thought about it, she did not understand the situation of Lin Jinyan's family, nor did she understand the relationship between Lin Jinyan and her wife. From the looks of it, this woman seemed to be very familiar with the Lin Family, and because she admired Lin Jinyan, she must have fought with Lin Jinyan's wife several times.

He was the young miss of a wealthy family in the town. How could he go to the village often? Furthermore, showing up all day long was a disgrace to his reputation. It was also good to have someone as an assistant to help her deal with matters that were inconvenient for her to intervene. As for being a concubine, she could first agree to her request. As for when she would enter the sect and what the rules were, they were still up to her to decide.

Chen Mo thought thoroughly and nodded his head, agreeing to cooperate.

By the time the three of them had finished discussing the matter, it was already noon.

Chen Mo left the Chen family mother and daughter to eat lunch. With one step, the three of them went to the small hall and sat down. Servants entered the room in a line and placed plate after plate of delicacies on the table.

The utensils used for the food were all made of white porcelain, and the color of the food was so beautiful that it almost blinded Mrs. Yuan's eyes.

In the village, even the wealthiest families had never used white porcelain. Their Chen family even used a wooden bowl for their meals, they wouldn't dare to easily buy pottery and the like. Ceramics were so fragile, if one was not careful, it could break. If it shattered, even the money used to buy the ceramics would be gone.

However, when the three of them ate, there were three meat dishes, two vegetables and a small bowl of soup. Surprisingly, the soup was a health care and beauty soup cooked with the swallow nest, medlar and other ingredients. The eyes of the Chen family's mother and daughter lit up.

However, those three meat dishes were not ordinary meat dishes either. The mother and daughter of the Chen family could not recognize the fish, but they could tell from the taste that the fish was of the highest quality.

The two vegetables were even more amazing. Although they looked like ordinary Chinese cabbage radishes, when they ate it, the aftertaste was endless. It was very different from the Chinese cabbage radishes that they usually cooked at home.

Seeing their expressions, Chen Mo knew that they had questions. He opened his mouth and said:

"This dish was cooked using chicken soup and fish soup along with a series of medicinal herbs. Don't look at how ordinary it looks. The nutrients contained within it are even more nourishing than those ordinary tonics."

Yan Wu didn't think much of it when she said it was so mysterious. However, after she tasted a piece of cabbage, she also felt that the cabbage didn't have the taste of the cabbage itself.

After having a rather long and knowledgeable lunch with Madam Yuan, she took her leave.
