The vegetable business was being managed very well by Lin Da and his two companions, so after observing for a while, Mo Yan completely let go of it, cooped up at ho, either researching new dishes or making spring clothes for the family, living a leisurely and comfortable life.
However, life would have been even better if she could get rid of Little Flower, that gluttonous and silly creature.
Unfortunately, despite Xiao Ruiyuan sending people several tis, they were unable to take it away. One soldier tried to forcibly drag it away but was bitten by Little Flower on the wrist instead. If it wasn’t for Mo Yan’s tily intervention, Little Flower would have likely bitten off the soldier’s hand.
After this incident, Mo Yan realized that no matter how silly Little Flower was, it was still a wolf with a strong potential for harm.
Fortunately, aside from not allowing anyone but Mo Yan to touch it, Little Flower didn’t randomly bite people. It mostly lazed under the eaves basking in the sun during the day and followed Mo Yan into the Space at night to romp around, clearly considering the Mo Family’s ho its own, without the slightest sense of being an ’outsider’.
To this, Xiao Ruiyuan felt helpless. Taking advantage of his day off, he personally made a visit. Little Flower was borrowed, so how could he not return it?
It’s just that Little Flower was well fed and housed at the Mo Family ho, and even had Spirit Spring Water to drink, so it really didn’t want to leave. Knowing it couldn’t match Xiao Ruiyuan, it just burrowed under the bed when it saw him coming and no matter how Xiao Ruiyuan threatened or coaxed, it refused to co out.
Mo Yan, both amused and annoyed, watched this unfold. This creature bullied the weak and feared the strong, truly cunning!
"Sir Xiao, why don’t you have its owner co over? Surely it won’t fail to recognize its own master!"
On hearing this, Xiao Ruiyuan thought of its capricious master, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly as he vaguely replied, "He’s not available."
It’s not that he hadn’t sent soone to inquire; Yan Junyu had only replied, "It doesn’t want to co back? That’s good, saves it from fighting with over the bed every day!"
Although Mo Yan really wanted to get rid of this burden, seeing the current situation, it seed impossible, and she didn’t want to make it difficult for her lifesaver. So she said, "Then let it stay at my ho for a while, we will take good care of it."
Glancing under the bed, Xiao Ruiyuan had no choice but to give up, "Thank you for your trouble then, Miss Mo."
Co noon, persuaded by the insistent hospitality of Mo Yan’s family, Xiao Ruiyuan stayed for lunch. He really liked the warmth of the Mo Family’s ho, devoid of sches and calculations, but such a simple life, ultimately, might be sothing he could never have.
After the al, Mo Qingze brought out the best tea in their house and brewed a cup for both himself and Xiao Ruiyuan. Xiao Ruiyuan sipped the tea and briefly ntioned how the Governnt had dealt with those twenty human traffickers.
These traffickers had been kidnapping people for many years. They had abducted so many won and children that even they couldn’t rember the total number. Since they had kidnapped proper families and the laws of Great Chu were very strict towards traffickers, nineteen of the twenty were sentenced to imdiate execution.
The only one not sentenced to death was Shouzi. Because Shouzi confessed thoroughly and revealed all the details of their backers, he was sentenced to life imprisonnt. Although he kept his life, not being able to take a single step out of prison for the rest of his life was essentially a fate worse than death for him.
This outco was within Mo Yan’s expectations. Previously, Mo Yongshou had been banished three thousand miles away for defrauding ten thousand Liang. These traffickers, who had done much evil, destroying hundreds and thousands of families, deserved nothing less than death for their actions.
Thinking of Mo Yongshou, Mo Yan rembered that by now, he should be on his way to exile in Mo Bei. After looking at Xiao Ruiyuan and considering the disgrace of family scandals, she decided to restrain her curiosity, planning to ask Xin Er and the others after he left.
"Sir Xiao, those traffickers had backers. There won’t be any further twists, will there?"
Getting the hint, Xiao Ruiyuan understood what she was worried about and simply ntioned, "That ’backer’ has already been imprisoned as well."
