Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law-Chapter 411: Bringing Xiao Yunxi to Meet Xiao Quan

Chapter 411: Chapter 411: Bringing Xiao Yunxi to Meet Xiao Quan

Upon hearing this, Yi Shiyin’s smile froze. When she first married Chen Mo, her courage was indeed not large but not insignificant either. Over the years, she had often received massages from Chen Mo, naturally leading to some growth in confidence.

And didn’t you examine it just a few days ago?

Yi Shiyin’s chest noticeably puffed up, and her little legs in the water couldn’t help but kick back a few times: "Husband, you’re so annoying..."

"It really is Xiaolu..." Chen Mo feigned surprise and then laughed, "Has Xiaolu prepared to accept her punishment?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Shiyin’s body visibly tensed, and her face flushed. She bit her lower lip, a bit shy: "Husband, let’s go back to the boat..."

Yi Shiyin apparently thought Chen Mo wanted to do something embarrassing.

However, there was no place to gain leverage in the water.

But Chen Mo skillfully untied the strap of Xiaolu’s back undergarment, then gave a gentle pull, instantly revealing a delicate, jade-like body in the water.

"Ah..." Xiaolu gasped, quickly raising her hands to cover herself, extremely bashful.

Yet Chen Mo treated the removed undergarment as a trophy, tying it around his arm, and smiled: "The game continues, little beauties, hide well, or else the punishment will be the same as Xiaolu’s..."

The other women in the water turned a bit pale at these words. They thought that once he caught Yi Shiyin, the "game" would end, but they never expected this was just the beginning.

Chu Juan, witnessing the enchanting scene under the boat and listening to the delicate voices, shifted her gaze to the young man playing with the women, her expression very complex. She couldn’t fathom how such a person could defeat her father and seize Huai State.

He indulges in pleasures, wealth, lust, a life of sensual indulgence for profit; throughout history, those have always been labels attached to the defeated.

And such individuals, whether in history books or in the mouths of people, are condemned and despised.

Those with such labels almost never achieve great things.

Yet all these labels, Chu Juan saw on Chen Mo.

Logically speaking, such a person couldn’t be a match for her father.

While Chu Juan’s thoughts flew by, Chen Mo’s arm was already full of trophies, all the women in the water except Wu Mi had their undergarments pulled away by him.

The water was dazzlingly white, almost blinding.

Only around dusk, after fooling around all afternoon, did the women dress properly and return with Chen Mo on the boat.

Just after docking, Sun Meng reported that people from the Xiao Family had arrived to see him.

Chen Mo thought it was because the Xiao Family saw the message Xiao Yunxi sent back and came to discuss with him.

The corner of his mouth curled: "Invite him to this Marquis’ mansion, I will personally host a banquet."

"Yes." Sun Meng withdrew.

Then Chen Mo privately found Xiao Yunxi, telling her to dress beautifully, as she would meet a guest with him tonight.

Xiao Yunxi, though a bit unwilling, feared incurring Chen Mo’s anger, so she reluctantly agreed.

...

Night fell.

Pingting Marquis’s Mansion.

Sun Meng ushered Xiao Quan and others into the hall: "The Marquis is bathing and changing clothes, he’ll be here shortly, please wait a moment."

Xiao Quan did not come alone, he brought two servants with him.

"Master, please have some tea." The maid served tea to Xiao Quan.

Xiao Quan unceremoniously sat down. Since he represented the Xiao Family, naturally he couldn’t lose the face of a noble family. Even in the "enemy camp," he had to maintain a calm demeanor.

While Xiao Quan contemplated how to gain the upper hand when meeting Chen Mo, footsteps were heard from outside, and Chen Mo, hand in hand with Xiao Yunxi, entered the hall.

"Marquis."

"Madam."

The maids in and outside the hall quickly bowed and saluted.

Xiao Quan also stood up. When he turned around to greet them and saw Xiao Yunxi, his face froze.

"Cous...sin?"

Xiao Yunxi, dressed in an opulent palace skirt embroidered with lotus flowers and lined with gold, accentuated her noble aura, skin as white as freshly peeled lotus seeds, and her eyebrows long and slender.

Her figure graceful, as if a willow swaying in the wind.

In Xiao Quan’s eyes, she should be the wife of Prince Huai, yet now she held another man’s hand.

"Xiao Quan." Seeing this cousin working under the Prince suddenly appearing here startled Xiao Yunxi. She frantically tried to distance herself from Chen Mo, but Chen Mo held her hand tightly, and she couldn’t break free, instead was taken by him to sit at the head seat.

Seated and with the table blocking the view, Chen Mo stealthily placed his hand on Xiao Yunxi’s thigh, gently caressing through her skirt.

This made Xiao Yunxi glower at Chen Mo, her face reddening naturally from the sense of touch and embarrassment, internally fuming why he didn’t mention the guest was from the Xiao family earlier.

And in Xiao Quan’s eyes, it appeared like a scene between newlyweds, causing suspicion to arise: could it be that his cousin wasn’t coerced, but truly betrayed Prince Huai to be with Chen Mo?

"Did Young Master Xiao Quan come here because the Xiao Family agreed to the Marquis’ proposal?" Chen Mo said while directing maids to serve the dishes and speaking to Xiao Quan. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"???"

This left Xiao Quan bewildered, instinctively responding, "What proposal?"

Chen Mo paused for a while, letting the maids finish serving dishes and dismissing them before speaking: "Did Young Master Xiao Quan not come seeking to discuss Jiangnan matters after seeing Yunxi’s message?"

As he spoke, Chen Mo gave a look to Xiao Yunxi, gesturing with his mouth.

Having played around with Chen Mo so many times, Xiao Yunxi knew it meant to feed him food.

But in front of her cousin, she hesitated.

Soon, a sultry hum unconsciously escaped from her, she almost covered her mouth just in time to avoid embarrassment in front of her cousin.

Apparently, Chen Mo was no longer satisfied with caressing her thigh through the skirt.

Though the fabric was thin, it couldn’t compare to the smoothness of direct contact.

Xiao Yunxi understood this rogue was warning her, thus forced to endure the humiliation, picked up chopsticks and placed some food into Chen Mo’s bowl.

This left Xiao Quan shocked.

To his knowledge, his cousin had never served food to Prince Huai.

Xiao Quan took a deep breath, saying, "I have not received any letter from my cousin. I came under the Patriarch’s orders, to bring my cousin and the Crown Prince back."

With that, Xiao Quan cupped his hands towards Chen Mo, saying, "The Patriarch said, if the Marquis releases my cousin and the Crown Prince, whatever the Xiao Family can offer, the Marquis may just name it."

As the words fell, just as Chen Mo was about to enjoy the food Xiao Yunxi placed in his bowl, he heavily set down his chopsticks, making a crisp sound as they struck the table.

"Thud thud thud..."

A series of hurried footsteps and clinking armor sounded, as Sun Meng led a group of armored warriors marching in aggressively.
