Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law-Chapter 422: The Gadgets Chen Mo Asked Ning Wan to Make

Chapter 422: Chapter 422: The Gadgets Chen Mo Asked Ning Wan to Make

When Chen Mo told Xia Zhining about the Vermilion Bird Guard, she wasn’t displeased at all; instead, she seemed rather happy.

Xia Zhining is truly a proud and jealous little jar of vinegar.

After Chen Mo welcomed Xiao Yunxi into the household.

He went to Xiao Yunxi’s room more frequently than the other sisters, making Xia Zhining feel neglected and ignored.

Before Xiao Yunxi arrived, even though there were many women in this backyard, as long as Chen Mo was home, he spent more effort on her compared to the other sisters.

But now, Xiao Yunxi received this "favor."

Her heart had asked this question more than once.

No matter how beautiful Xiao Yunxi was, she was already married once.

Would someone else’s wife be so captivating?

Therefore, when Chen Mo assigned her to be in charge of the Vermilion Bird Guard, saying the Guard is extremely important and he couldn’t trust anyone else, Xia Zhining once again felt Chen Mo’s regard for her.

It made Xia Zhining feel that among all the women in the backyard, she was the one Chen Mo trusted the most.

This made her recall the sweet words Chen Mo used to coax her with.

"My favorite is still you, Zhining..."

Though she was happy inside, Xia Zhining pouted and said haughtily, "You only think of me when there’s trouble, why not go find your Yunxi?"

Chen Mo, who managed to capture even his former enemy Xia Zhining’s heart and soul, naturally knew what kind of person she was.

Chen Mo wasn’t exactly a good person; he knew how to say different things to different people. He pulled Xia Zhining into his embrace, held her delicate hand, and said tenderly, "You’re jealous again. How could anyone compare to you, Zhining?"

"Hmph." Xia Zhining snorted coldly, "Stop coaxing me, you’re going to her place even more frequently than to Ms. Anniang’s place."

"I need her to form ties with the Xiao Family. Jiangnan is extremely important to me." Chen Mo released Xia Zhining’s hand and deftly reached inside her dress.

Chen Mo understood Xia Zhining completely, and she understood him almost as well, knowing that most of what he said was just to coax her and couldn’t be taken seriously.

But there was no way around it; Xia Zhining just fell for this kind of talk. She grabbed Chen Mo’s mischievous hand, "You... you only know how to bully me..."

Chen Mo pressed her onto the nearby table, discussing the matter of the Vermilion Bird Guard as he continued his teasing.

...

After leaving Xia Zhining’s room, Qing Dance, who was by Ning Wan’s side, found him and said that the things she asked for had been made, and that he should come and take a look.

Chen Mo’s eyes lit up. He returned to his room, changed into a new robe, and then headed to Ning Wan’s courtyard.

...

As the Fu Ze Restaurant grew bigger and opened more branches, bringing huge profits to the Marquis Mansion, Ning Wan became increasingly comfortable living there.

The only thorn in her side was the fear of her affair with Chen Mo being exposed.

After all, Liang Xue was already Chen Mo’s woman.

And now, as an aunt, she was also involved with Chen Mo...

She was genuinely afraid of what people might say.

However, after Xiao Yunxi and Chu Juan entered the household, her only concern vanished.

When Han Anniang asked her if Chen Mo had ever touched her, she openly admitted it.

She would never have dared to even think of this before.

When she was first captured by Chen Mo, she felt like a criminal waiting for a sentence, eagerly anticipating it yet fearing its arrival, the courtyard scenery, the bright moon above, all cold and lonely, stirring solitude.

Alone and helpless, her heart was filled with sorrow, scenes flashed in her mind, mixing pain and suffering, hatred and worry intertwined.

She deeply resented her husband Liang Song’s heartlessness.

However, precisely because of this, her heart gradually became occupied by Chen Mo over time.

Even though it was all caused by Chen Mo.

Creaaak!

Just as Ning Wan was lost in thought, the door opened, and Ning Wan followed the sound, her face suddenly turning red.

She knew Chen Mo would come.

After all, she was the one who specifically asked Chen Mo to come over.

But she never expected that Chen Mo would also bring Liang Xue along.

"You... why did you bring Xue’er too?" Ning Wan’s expression tightened.

"I ran into Xue’er on the way here; she happened to be coming to look for you too, so I brought her along." As he spoke, Chen Mo directly turned around and closed the door.

Seeing the door shut, Liang Xue’s face also turned red.

Originally, she intended to ask Ning Wan to go out with her.

Although Ning Wan was once her aunt, and their relationship wasn’t good at the time, they had lived together for several years, and once they were both captured by Chen Mo, their conflicts were resolved, and their relationship improved.

Originally, when she ran into Chen Mo on the way and knew he was headed to Ning Wan’s room, Liang Xue initially considered visiting Ning Wan another day, but Chen Mo insisted on bringing her along.

Now that the door was closed, what would happen next was obvious.

"Aunt Ning, didn’t you say the things were ready? Let’s have Xue’er try them on as a model." Looking around, Chen Mo asked, "Where are they?" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Although Ning Wan didn’t understand what "model" meant, from Chen Mo’s words, she knew he absolutely didn’t have any good intentions and might be up to trouble.

Ning Wan took a deep breath, knowing that the situation was set and couldn’t be changed.

She got up, opened the wardrobe, and took out a wooden box.

"See if this is right?"

Ning Wan opened the wooden box to reveal several silk items neatly folded and made from Ice Silk, thin as cicada’s wings...black trousers.

Yes, Ning Wan took them as trousers.

Ning Wan took them out one by one while commenting, "I wore them before. I didn’t expect that although they’re thin, they’re quite warm when worn, just a bit tight-fitting. And since they’re made from Ice Silk, if we sell them, they could only be sold to those noble ladies, as ordinary citizens can’t afford them."

Ice Silkworm is a type of silkworm that lives in extremely cold areas, hence the name Ice Silkworm. Its silk is tough and transparent, yet scarce, making its silk extremely expensive.

Items made from Ice Silk can only be sold as luxury goods.

"Yes, this is it." Seeing the real thing, Chen Mo was overjoyed, not expecting Ning Wan had really made the stockings. He had only mentioned it in passing during a talk after writing some Chapters of the Three Kingdoms while being intimate with Ning Wan.

"That’s good. But Ice Silk is quite rare; making a large quantity might be difficult," Ning Wan said.

"No need for mass production; as long as each woman in the backyard can get a couple of pairs, that’s fine," Chen Mo said.

Ning Wan was taken aback, "You don’t plan to sell them?"

Ning Wan thought Chen Mo would sell such a warm item as goods, but it turned out he planned to give them to his women.

"Did I ever say I was going to sell them?" Chen Mo smiled, handing two pairs to Liang Xue, "Try them on."
