Chapter 532: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 532: A Clear Reward (1)
Soon after, the Wu mother and daughter returned from their market trip. Knowing that there was a distinguished guest at the Mo household, Mo Yan stayed in the back courtyard under the vines to keep company and did not disturb them.
At this moment, Li Xiu had just finished boiling a pot of water and was about to deliver it to the back courtyard for Mo Yan and her guests to make tea. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen and urgently needed to use the restroom. She quickly asked Da Nier to take the tea water to the back while she grabbed some paper and hurried to the outhouse.
Da Nier, naturally, did not refuse. She placed the teapot on a tray and headed toward the back courtyard. As she approached, a captivating male voice drifted out from beneath the vines, brushing gently against her ears like a feather, causing her to feel a peculiar tickling sensation.
Da Nier's cheeks inexplicably flushed with heat, and her palms began to sweat slightly. She shook her head forcefully, steadied herself, and walked toward the vines.
Upon getting closer, she was greeted by a smile she would remember for a lifetime—an enchanting, handsome smile that seemed to hold an irresistible allure, making it difficult to look away.
Thud, thud! Thud, thud!
Da Nier struggled to suppress the unfamiliar fluttering in her chest, but her heart continued to pound wildly. Distracted, she took a step forward, not noticing the vines growing underfoot. She stumbled and fell forward, sending the scalding water from the tray straight at Yan Junyu’s face.
“Watch out!” Mo Yan exclaimed, jumping up from her chair in alarm, trying to rush over to prevent the accident, but it was too late.
At this moment, Yan Junyu, who had been playing with Xiao Hua, reacted swiftly. In a remarkable display of agility, he dodged the flying teapot and, at the same time, reached out to catch Da Nier, who was about to fall.
Fortunately, his quick reflexes prevented Da Nier from hitting the stone table. Had she fallen heavily, she could have injured her forehead, possibly resulting in a scar or even disfigurement—something devastating for a young woman.
Seeing that both of them were unharmed, Mo Yan quickly rushed over to check their condition, her heart finally settling down.
Seeing Mo Yan’s anxious expression, Yan Junyu released Da Nier’s wrist with a smug look and said, “With me here, why are you still worried about accidents?”
Mo Yan silently rolled her eyes in her mind but flattered him, “Young Master Yan’s skills are exceptional. I was just startled and overly concerned.”
Hearing Mo Yan’s insincere praise, Yan Junyu shook his head with some disappointment and returned to his seat. He stroked Xiao Hua’s glossy fur, noticing that there were no water stains, which meant Xiao Hua had avoided the hot water and was unharmed. He then continued to play with Xiao Hua’s tail, which was highly sensitive.
Xiao Hua, unceremoniously, flicked its tail against Yan Junyu, and every time he retracted it and touched it again, Xiao Hua flicked it once more. The two continued to play with great enthusiasm.
“I’m so sorry, really sorry. I almost burned the distinguished guest…” Da Nier, clutching her somewhat warm wrist, repeatedly apologized to Mo Yan. Her face was flushed red, a mix of self-reproach and embarrassment.
“It was an accident. How could I blame Da Nier?” Mo Yan reassured her. “Fortunately, no one was hurt; otherwise, I would have felt terribly guilty!”

Da Nier quickly shook her head, placing the blame on herself, and then cautiously apologized to Yan Junyu, her voice barely audible. “This young master, it was my clumsiness that nearly harmed you. Please don’t hold it against me, and thank you for saving me!”
Yan Junyu, still engrossed in his play with Xiao Hua, casually waved his hand and said, “It was just a small effort. I don’t blame you. There’s no need for you to be so hard on yourself!”
Clearly surprised that such a distinguished guest would speak to her, Da Nier’s cheeks turned even redder. She quickly glanced at Yan Junyu before rapidly looking down again, her heart pounding so hard she thought it might leap out of her chest.
