Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law-Chapter 390: Remember to Refer to Yourself as ’This Palace’ from Now On

Chapter 390: Chapter 390: Remember to Refer to Yourself as ’This Palace’ from Now On

But Xiao Yunxi felt a bit awkward; firstly, Chu Juan’s mother had once tried to harm her, and secondly, as the Main Consort of Prince Huai’s Mansion, if it were an ordinary household, Chu Juan should call her aunt.

But now both women had become Chen Mo’s companions.

This left her at a loss for how to get along in the future.

Tonight, Xiao Yunxi wore a purple long dress. After putting the child to sleep, she had taken a bath, her hair damp and cascading over her shoulders. Her appearance was mature and beautiful, with an alluring figure. Because she had to feed the child daily, she gradually became accustomed to not wearing an undershirt, a fair hint revealed.

When Chen Mo entered her room, Xiao Yunxi was bent over checking the child sleeping in the cradle, ensuring the quilt was properly covered.

This led to Chen Mo seeing an exceptionally full and round millstone, with the hem of the skirt slightly lifted, exposing two straight, white calves as he entered.

Xiao Yunxi heard footsteps, preparing to stand up and look back when someone suddenly embraced her from behind.

Xiao Yunxi’s delicate body trembled, let out a shriek, and struggled to break free until the familiar scent from the embrace calmed her a bit, though she still resisted, turning back and saying: "Don’t, don’t...wake Zheng’Er..."

But the next moment, she felt a chill and her skirt was lifted.

"Ah...no...are you crazy..." Watching the child in the cradle, Xiao Yunxi felt both ashamed and angry, her body continuously retreating.

With a ripping sound, her panties were brutally torn apart.

Xiao Yunxi felt a startling emptiness, her eyes widening in fright, she hastily said: "Don’t do this, go...change to another place..."

Just as she spoke, a soft whimper involuntarily escaped from Xiao Yunxi’s throat: "Ying～"

"Huh..." Chen Mo also exhaled deeply, embracing the beauty’s waist tightly, and said: "Princess Consort, I miss you desperately."

Xiao Yunxi’s pretty face blushed, her eyes watery, her body somewhat weak and unable to support itself she could only hold on to the cradle’s edge, but seeing the child sleeping sweetly, afraid of waking him, she lifted a hand to cover her mouth and only released it after adjusting, saying somewhat angrily and embarrassedly:

"Are you crazy, how can you act without my...consent."

"If I asked for your consent, wouldn’t it lose some excitement?" Chen Mo replied.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunxi felt mortified to the core: "But you can’t do this in front of the child; if he wakes up and sees it, I wouldn’t have the face to meet anyone."

"Isn’t the Crown Prince asleep? As long as we’re quiet, he won’t wake up."

Xiao Yunxi: "..."

Be a decent person.

"Can’t you stop pestering me all day, why don’t you go find Chu Juan?" Xiao Yunxi lamented, on the verge of tears.

"How could she compare to you, my consort?" Chen Mo’s voice was low; Xiao Yunxi’s outfit seemed to be a nightdress, very loose, and with a gentle pull from Chen Mo, the dress slipped from her shoulder to her forearm...

Understanding his intentions, Chen Mo embraced the beauty, saying: "Moreover, I came tonight to see you about an important matter."

Hearing Chen Mo’s first sentence, Xiao Yunxi was a bit pleased, a woman dresses up for the one she loves, especially at her age, valuing her appearance more and feeling less confident when standing next to pretty young girls.

Understanding this, Xiao Yunxi cooperated, saying: "What important matter do you need me for?"

Chen Mo steadied his mind and said: "I plan to campaign against Jiangnan and need your help."

"What?!"

Xiao Yunxi suddenly regained strength and turned sharply: "I’ll fight you."

Chen Mo hurriedly restrained her, saying: "Calm down and listen to me."

"My parents and relatives are all in Jiangnan, how can I be calm?"

Xiao Yunxi glared angrily at Chen Mo, completely forgetting her semi-bared state, her heaving chest dazzled Chen Mo.

"That’s exactly why I need your help," Chen Mo said. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Pulling up the skirt, Chen Mo embraced Xiao Yunxi again.

"You want to fight my parents, and now you want my help? Are you insane," Xiao Yunxi couldn’t help but burst out.

"Consort, I’m doing this for your own good." Sensing Xiao Yunxi’s intense reaction, Chen Mo patiently explained.

Xiao Yunxi coldly gazed at Chen Mo.

"Look, Liu Ji told me that when your elder brother was still there, he took ten thousand garrison soldiers from Jiangnan to help Prince Huai. This means Jiangnan currently has less than ten thousand garrison soldiers. Do you think such a small force can stop me? You should know, Jiangnan is almost completely isolated by me now, no one will come to help, nor can they.

If you don’t help, when the sword soldiers face each other, I really can’t guarantee the Xiao Family’s safety," Chen Mo continued.

Finishing his words, seeing Xiao Yunxi calm down somewhat, Chen Mo raised his hand to caress her tender face and said: "Consort, you are now my woman, a family, shouldn’t we support each other?"

"Shameless, if you really considered me family, you wouldn’t attack Jiangnan," Xiao Yunxi wasn’t easily fooled, swatting Chen Mo’s hand away in anger.

"Smack!"

Chen Mo raised his hand and delivered a slap.

The full contours trembled instantaneously, the skin soft and tender left with a shallow palm print. "The Xiao Family’s collusion with Prince Huai to rebel is aiding the wicked, this Marquis hasn’t even confronted you about it. How dare you get snappy with me?

With the crime the Xiao Family committed, executing the entire clan wouldn’t be excessive. If it weren’t for me considering you as my woman, a family, would I have informed you in advance about attacking Jiangnan? Given my current army, using the water route, it would take less than five days to reach Jiangnan, and less than a month to sweep across it. Considering that the Xiao Family is your family, I plan to leave no one behind."

Chen Mo’s attitude was firm as he pulled Xiao Yunxi into his arms, making her brace herself against the cradle, burying his nose in her fragrant hair, returning to the familiar place, and said: "I want your help purely out of consideration for you, to excuse the Xiao Family’s crimes, don’t be ungrateful."

"Wuh～" Xiao Yunxi’s delicate body trembled, turning back with a look of shame, anger, and fear at him. Then she recalled he was not a saint, but an ambitious hero, for whom expanding power and territory were paramount, so how could he possibly let Jiangnan go?

Given this pretext, coming to her about this matter seemed indeed as if he considered her family.

She bit her red lips tightly, saying: "I was wrong."

"That’s right, to err is human; to amend is divine." Chen Mo let Xiao Yunxi bite a lock of hair and said: "Remember to refer to yourself as ’this consort’ in the future, drop the ’I’, and carry your dignity. I’ll always call you Consort."

"...Yes."
