Chapter 29: with translation of chapter title

Seeing Su Xiyan's surprised gaze looking over, there was a hint of emotion in her eyes that even she herself hadn't noticed, and Yan Moci's heart felt incredibly soft.

He lightly added, "This is just the payment for you treating me; you don't need to take it to heart."

What you did behind the fake mountain, I will have people help you clean up all traces, ensuring Yan Zixin won't find any flaw.

Su Xiyan widened her almond eyes, "How did you see? Oh right, the fake mountain is directly opposite our room."

Hearing Su Xiyan say their room, Yan Moci smiled without a trace.

But he still said lightly, "But once Zhang Chengye wakes up, he will definitely say it was you who did it; have you thought about how to respond then?"

Su Xiyan smirked, "Maybe Young Master Chengye's eyes were playing tricks; I went straight back to my room after leaving the courtyard. Dongzi and Zhang Ma can vouch for me~"

Moreover, hearing that the stone thrown at Young Master Chengye was so huge, how could a girl like me possibly move it?

Yan Moci chuckled, this was to have Dongzi and Zhang Ma together give her false testimony. At the time he wondered why Su Xiyan would pick such a large stone; now he realized the purpose.

However, Yan Moci shook his head, "Yan Zixin won't believe it; she is far more shrewd and cunning than you see."

Su Xiyan sneered, "I don't care whether she believes it; since she doesn't properly educate her son, letting Zhang Chengye run wild."

Then one should have expected that someday someone would take over educating her son; Yan Zixin is formidable, but I, Su Xiyan, am not an easy pushover.

Su Xiyan's sudden change of expression let Yan Moci see another bold and decisive side of her, increasing his admiration for her at the same time,

Yan Moci thought to himself: Forget it, she can do whatever she wants; anyway he will protect her.

Even if the sky fell, Yan Moci would bear it for her.

But, thinking of that smile he saw upstairs, Yan Moci's eyes dimmed slightly and he said in a dangerous tone: "From now on you are not allowed to smile at other men like that, even if it's to lure him in."

As long as you remain my woman for even a day, you are not allowed to glance at any other man.

I never expected Yan Moci to be this overbearing! Could he be jealous?

Su Xiyan couldn't resist teasing him, "What about me looking at Grandfather every day then?"

Yan Moci pressed his lips, "That's an elder."

Su Xiyan added, "I even cooked together with Steward Liu!"

Yan Moci frowned, "Steward Liu has been in the household for years, loyal and devoted, so it's fine."

Su Xiyan let out an "oh", "Then I also rode in Uncle Zhang's car, spoke with Dongzi, and I...."

Yan Moci's veins jumped, he looked at Su Xiyan with dangerous eyes, instantly stood up and sneered, "Is that so? Then it seems I must punish you a little, otherwise nothing will work."

What a guy Yan Moci is! He wants to play the hooligan at the slightest disagreement!

Su Xiyan stuck out her tongue at Yan Moci, made a face, "blah blah blah", and turned and ran.

Hmph! Even if the entire second floor were his people, Yan Moci still couldn't leave his room!

Watching Su Xiyan leave, Yan Moci's mind was filled only with the image of her exposed pink tongue tip.

Yan Moci slowly closed his eyes, extending his right hand to cover his forehead,

After a long while, he chuckled, "Little girl, you're really trying."

Su Xiyan, upon leaving the door, first wanted to go to the laundry room to find her clothes, but was intercepted halfway.

"Miss Su, regarding Young Master Chengye's injury, the old master and the eldest miss request your presence."

A flash of gloom crossed Su Xiyan's eyes; in the old manor everyone calls her Eldest Daughter-in-law, only those who call her Miss Su are surely Yan Zixin's people.

Zhang Chengye is injured like that, yet Yan Zixin didn't even go to the hospital with him; instead she immediately came to find her and demand answers, it seems she is determined to pin this blame on her head.

"Miss Su, the old master and the eldest miss are waiting for you."

The bodyguard repeated it again, implying that if Su Xiyan didn't move, he would step in to help.

Su Xiyan's gaze turned icy; Yan Zixin doesn't even regard her, and even her bodyguard dares to be so presumptuous toward her!

Good, very good.

Since that's the case, today she must properly let Yan Zixin see what she's capable of; even without Yan Moci, Su Xiyan is absolutely not an easy target!

As Su Xiyan followed the bodyguard to the hall, Yan Moci received a message from Dongzi,

【Boss, the eldest miss's bodyguard took the Eldest Daughter-in-law to the hall.】

It seems the eldest miss found evidence that the Eldest Daughter-in-law caused Young Master Chengye's injury.

Looking at the message, Yan Moci sneered contemptuously; Zhang Chengye got injured front foot, and Yan Zixin immediately knew it was Su Xiyan who did it.

It seems that while he is unconscious, some things and some people are far more complicated than they appear.

Since these people's hands have already reached that far, he can only reluctantly help trim them a bit,

and then cut them off at the root.

In Yan Moci's eyes, dark waves surged, killing intent fully revealed.

【Take my people with you; no matter what evidence Yan Zixin produces, just say that at the time the Eldest Daughter-in-law was in the room with me.】

This silent loss, whether Yan Zixin wants to swallow it or not, she must force it down for me.

After giving the orders, Yan Moci actually began training expressionlessly indoors; he must recover as quickly as possible.

He will wake up at the most suitable moment and strike everyone by surprise.

"At that time I saw the Eldest Daughter-in-law walking ahead, with Young Master Chengye behind her."

Then, suddenly... suddenly the Eldest Daughter-in-law seduced Young Master Chengye, she smiled at him especially wantonly.

She even had Young Master Chengye follow her behind the fake mountain; he was unwilling, yet she actually... took the initiative to lay hands on him.

Young Master Chengye, being youthful and hot-headed, fell for the Eldest Daughter-in-law's scheme.

But just as Young Master Chengye had turned past the fake mountain, I heard his wail.

How terrible! The eldest miss and Young Master Chengye have both grown up before my eyes; even if the Eldest Daughter-in-law doesn't want to be intimate with Young Master Chengye, you shouldn't resort to such vicious means!

Speaking, Aunt Zhao pointed at Su Xiyan with a disapproving face, appearing righteous but actually every word aimed at her heart.

Su Xiyan had no doubt that she had indeed seen the situation then, saying eight parts truth and two parts false. Yet she lectured Su Xiyan about the libertine, completely shaping her into a woman who violates wifely virtue and is tormented by loneliness.

Aunt Zhao has been in the Yan family for many years; Yan Zixin has been raised by her since childhood, and later Zhang Chengye was also seen by her at age ten; these past two years she says she's grown old and wants to return to the old manor to spend her twilight years.

Yan Laotaiye naturally had no doubt in welcoming her back; now it seems she is simply a spy sent by Yan Zixin!

Yan Zixin, so impatient, launched an attack against her; seemingly for Zhang Chengye, but actually just wants to drive her away!

Seeing Yan Laotaiye's slightly hesitant gaze toward her, tinged with faint dissatisfaction, Su Xiyan lightly bit her teeth, already having a plan in mind.
