Chapter 554: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 554: The Sour Request for Confirmation (2)
Mo Yan nodded casually and said, “Your wife is dearly loved by your in-laws. If she returns in this state, they might have issues with you. However, as a wife, it’s only natural for you to discipline her when she dares to disrespect you and insult you. I believe, as long as you explain things clearly, your in-laws should be understanding and won’t blame you.”
Young Master Fang, not being foolish, quickly understood Mo Yan’s implication. He nodded repeatedly in agreement. Finally, under Mo Yan's impatient gaze, he had his servant grab Mo Yongxi and leave.
Having finally vented her long-standing frustration, Mo Yan felt as if she had drunk spirit spring water and was completely refreshed. She was about to head home with a light step when several figures emerged from the dense grass ahead.
Seeing who the visitors were, Mo Yan’s eyes twitched violently. When she saw someone’s half-smiling expression, she felt her mood plummet: “Young Master Yan, when did you arrive? Why didn’t you send someone to call for me?”
Yan Junyu, holding a jade fan, observed the woman’s insincere smile with great interest. He raised an eyebrow and teased, “If I hadn’t come in person, I would have missed such a good show.”
Mo Yan, being teased, felt her previous discomfort fade away. She responded blandly, “It’s no great performance. If it brings a smile to Young Master Yan’s face, that’s my honor.”
Seeing her once again become unperturbed, Yan Junyu shook his head with disinterest, “You’re quite something. You usually seem so demure, but you’re actually so fierce… ah, impressive. You’re quite the ‘heroine’!”
Under Mo Yan’s stern gaze, Yan Junyu quickly corrected himself. The term ‘heroine’ was clearly tinged with mockery.
Mo Yan pretended not to understand and, with a serious expression, performed a respectful bow, saying, “Thank you, Young Master Yan, for the compliment. I will continue to strive and not disappoint your expectations!”

Yan Junyu was momentarily stunned. What was he expecting? He hadn’t said anything!

After being delayed by Mo Yongxi and chatting with Yan Junyu for a while, Mo Yan returned home to find the dishes already prepared and the rice almost steamed. She then proceeded to entertain Yan Junyu, discussing the winery and the rice harvest.
Yan Junyu lounged lazily in his chair, occasionally responding with a few words and seeming quite attentive. However, Mo Yan, sensitive to his demeanor, noticed that his focus seemed elsewhere. His occasional, almost indecipherable glances at her made her feel uneasy.
Noticing his odd behavior, Mo Yan decided it was best to address the issue directly rather than suffer in silence.
So, when Yan Junyu’s gaze drifted back to her, she confronted him straightforwardly, “Young Master Yan, if you have any issues with me, you can say them directly. Keeping it in only makes us both uncomfortable.”
Caught off guard by her directness, Yan Junyu’s face displayed a rare hint of awkwardness. After a moment of contemplation, he could no longer hold back and dismissed the onlookers before asking the question that had long troubled him, “You… you and Hanzhang, um, that is, Xiao Ruiyuan, what exactly is your relationship?”
Perhaps feeling that it was inappropriate to ask such a personal question to a young woman, Yan Junyu hesitated and omitted the final four words.
Mo Yan was taken aback by Yan Junyu’s inquiry. Her expression froze for a moment before returning to normal. Seeing Yan Junyu’s earnest expectation for an answer, she suppressed her feelings of oddness and replied calmly, “It’s the kind of relationship you know about.”
The details of her relationship with Xiao Ruiyuan were known only to the two of them and their shadow guards. Those guards would never betray Xiao Ruiyuan and reveal such matters to Yan Junyu. Since Yan Junyu was asking such a question, it was clear that Xiao Ruiyuan had shared this with him, given their good rapport.
