Chapter 533: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 533: A Clear Reward (2)
“Yan’er, I just remembered that I still have some clothes to wash, so I’ll be going now. If you need anything, just call for me.” Da Nier quickly found an excuse, and before Mo Yan could respond, she fled in a hurry, only to trip over the vines again. Fortunately, Mo Yan managed to support her in time, preventing her from falling to the ground.
Watching Da Nier leave in a rush, Mo Yan thought she was just embarrassed by the presence of a stranger and didn’t give it further thought.
This little incident didn’t bother either of them, and they continued discussing the details of the winery.
...
Yan Junyu’s subordinates were remarkably efficient. Before the sun set, they had transported all the fruit to the capital, except for a few baskets kept for the Mo family’s personal use.
Yan Junyu spent the afternoon playing with Xiao Hua. Before leaving, he tried to coax the aloof Mao Tuan to follow him, but Mao Tuan, disdainful, ignored him completely and showed him its backside. Mo Yan found this quite amusing and rewarded Mao Tuan with a plump roast chicken at dinner.
Unfazed, Yan Junyu then attempted to win over the aloof Da Bai. Da Bai gave him a scornful glance, walked over to the wild deer, and viciously bit off its neck, showing a bloody and brutal side.
Feeling defeated, Yan Junyu announced he would leave with Xiao Hua. However, Xiao Hua, who had been clinging to Mo Yan all afternoon, quickly wrapped itself around her leg, clearly unwilling to leave.
Seeing the awkward and frustrated Yan Junyu, Mo Yan couldn’t help but laugh uncontrollably.
Yan Junyu, increasingly exasperated, gave one last resentful look at the people and animals before leaving with his entourage, departing from Liuyang Village with a grand procession.
As the last rays of sunlight faded, the Mo family’s courtyard returned to its usual tranquility.
“At the dinner table, Wu Shi glanced at Mo Yan, who had grown into a young woman, and hesitated before speaking with a hint of expectation. “Yan’er, what’s the story between you and that Young Master Yan…”
Upon hearing this, everyone at the table, except for Li Xiu who knew the details, turned their attention to Mo Yan. Da Nier’s eyes widened with a touch of unspoken anxiety.
Mo Yan could tell they were misunderstanding the situation. She sighed and explained, “Aunt Wu, my relationship with Young Master Yan is merely a business one. He came specifically for the fruits. With his status, it’s not something an ordinary person can aspire to.”
Wu Shi, not noticing her daughter’s unusual reaction, responded with reluctance, “How can you say you’re aspiring to something? Besides not having a high status, where are you lacking compared to the young ladies in the city?”
She had seen many young women in the city, but she couldn’t find anyone who compared to Mo Yan. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also kind-hearted and capable. If it weren’t for her lack of a prominent background, she would be on par with anyone. Young Master Yan was handsome and had a good family background. He seemed like a pleasant person, and they looked great together.

Mo Yan, feeling both amused and exasperated, decided it was better to clarify things now to avoid future misunderstandings. She briefly explained their relationship from the beginning to the present, emphasizing, “I have only a cooperative relationship with Young Master Yan. If anyone asks, you should say the same. Make sure no one misunderstands that our family is trying to climb the social ladder. If this gets back to Young Master Yan and he gets offended, we won’t come out well.”
After this explanation and warning, Wu Shi, though disappointed, understood the situation and did not bring it up again. The others also remained silent, eating their meal quietly. Only Da Nier seemed distracted, her food tasteless as she struggled with her thoughts.
