Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law-Chapter 564: Don’t... This Is the Xiao Family
After the family banquet, Xiao Quan, along with Xiao Yunxi, also took Chen Mo and Yue Ruyan for a walk around the ancestral home, admiring the various great achievements of the Xiao Family’s ancestors.
The Xiao Family is indeed glorious. Since the founding of the Great Song, it has produced a Commandery Prince, a First-class Duke, two Third-class Dukes, and three ministers.
On the women’s side, there have been two Imperial Consorts and thirteen Vassal Prince Consorts.
They are undoubtedly a family of power and nobility.
Among the seven prestigious families, according to Xiao Quan, if ranked, the Xiao Family can only be considered second.
The first is the Liang Family.
Because the Liang Family produced an Empress, they are the ones most closely tied to the Imperial Family.
Song Taizu’s empress was the sister of an ancestor of the Liang Family.
The Liang Family also produced more Vassal Prince Consorts than the Xiao Family did.
However, it is precisely for this reason that the military power of the Great Song was also held by the Liang Family. During the reign of Emperor Xuanhe’s grandfather, he began to reduce the Liang Family’s military power.
By the time of Liang Mu’s generation, the Liang Family, though still wealthy and imposing, only held some nominal positions and could not mobilize troops. So, when Emperor Xuanhe ascended to the throne, the power gradually fell under the control of Xu Guozhong.
Although the Liang Family was powerful, it could not compete with Xu Guozhong and was gradually squeezed out of the center of power.
After admiring the great achievements of the Xiao Family’s ancestors, Chen Mo and Yue Ruyan returned to the place arranged for them by the Xiao Family, while Xiao Yunxi was called over by the Xu Clan.
Chen Mo pulled Yue Ruyan into his room. Even in the Xiao Family, Chen Mo’s behavior did not restrain.
After pulling Yue Ruyan into the room, he closed the door and directly held her waist against the door, kissing her.
Because it was to attend the Xiao Family’s banquet, Yue Ruyan was dressed very formally. She wore a white, fitted long-sleeved short top and a red horse-face skirt, binding the hem of the short top without exposing any skin, looking both refreshing and grand.
"No, this... this is the Xiao Family." Yue Ruyan did not resist Chen Mo’s intimacy, given that during the trip to Jiangnan, on the boat...
But this was someone else’s house, and if outsiders heard, who knows what gossip it might cause privately.
"Don’t worry. Before the evening banquet, Yunxi told me that the place we’re staying at is one of the Xiao Family’s villas, and at this late hour, no one will come," Chen Mo said as he began to unbutton the white short top.
The white short top had only three buttons, and Chen Mo quickly unbuttoned them even with one hand. With a gentle flick, he slid the short top off her shoulders, revealing her delicate collarbone and shoulders. Although her skin was tanned, in the dimly lit room, illuminated only by the moonlight outside, her shoulders appeared particularly fair.
Chen Mo kissed her from the neck to the shoulder. Yue Ruyan was not wooden; seeing that she could not refuse, she gradually got emotional.
But the next moment, Chen Mo frowned and said, "Ru Yan, why are you binding your chest again?"
"I... I’m not wearing a dudou. If I don’t wrap it, it’s not good." Yue Ruyan instinctively tilted her head to avoid Chen Mo’s ticklish kiss on her neck.
"Stop binding it in the future; it’s not good for growth..." Well, Chen Mo purely thought that it was inconvenient to untie when bound like this.
"Mm..." Yue Ruyan felt her body getting a little weak, almost unable to stand steadily, so she had to wrap her arms around Chen Mo’s neck to prevent herself from falling.
Chen Mo kissed her neck again, then his hands went around to her back to untie the white cloth strip binding her chest.
Yue Ruyan’s wrap was very tight, and as soon as Chen Mo untied a loop, he saw a pale mark under her collarbone, standing out starkly against her skin.
"Look, it’s left a mark..." After removing it all, Chen Mo tossed the white cloth strip to the ground and gently caressed those marks with some heartache.
Yue Ruyan’s delicate body shivered as if electrified, and her toes inside her embroidered shoes tightened involuntarily.
As Chen Mo’s hand caressed the marks and gradually moved downward, Yue Ruyan’s eyelashes trembled violently, her cheeks flushed like fire, and her eyes squinted slightly.
At this moment, Chen Mo turned into a chef, wanting to make a bowl of noodles brimming with color, fragrance, and taste.
And to eat noodles, of course, you have to start by kneading the dough.
There is a technique to kneading dough too; you need to use the base of your palm to apply force. This way, it’s not labor-intensive, and the dough is uniform.
And Chen Mo’s favorite method is kneading with one hand...
Yue Ruyan marveled at Chen Mo’s kneading skills, her gaze gradually intoxicated, biting her lower lip, tilting her head back, stretching her neck long.
Chen Mo, the chef, was clearly a mere novice, as he started eating the noodles without even rolling the dough into strands once kneaded.
Yue Ruyan pressed the back of her head against the door, almost biting through her lower lip. Her hands clutched Chen Mo’s head tightly as if to press him into her body, her beautiful legs under the horse-faced skirt crossing and leaning there.
Just then, footsteps sounded outside the room.
Yue Ruyan’s eyes gradually cleared, first lowering her head, then looking around before she pushed Chen Mo away with panic, saying, "Stop eating; someone is coming."
"Don’t be afraid; it’s Yunxi."
Chen Mo had already noticed the footsteps and, recognizing them as Xiao Yunxi’s, was unconcerned.
But Yue Ruyan was definitely frightened.
Though she and Xiao Yunxi had already served Chen Mo together once.
But at least last time was on the bed, with the curtain drawn.
This time, they were standing at the door, and he’d pinned her against it and started dallying.
If Xiao Yunxi were to see this, she would misunderstand that she was so eager...
"Don’t... move indiscriminately."
Seeing Chen Mo was about to continue, Yue Ruyan pushed him away again and picked up the white cloth strip from the ground.
But it was too late to rebind herself now, so she just gathered the white cloth strip and buttoned her top.
Just then, the door knocked.
"Husband, I have something to discuss with you." Xiao Yunxi softly knocked and said.
The next second, the door opened, and before Xiao Yunxi could react, she was pulled inside by a big hand, and then the door quickly closed.
"Husband, Sister Ruyan, were you just..."
Seeing the blush on Yue Ruyan’s face not yet faded, and her somewhat panicked gaze, Xiao Yunxi looked back and forth between Chen Mo and Yue Ruyan, a meaningful smile appearing at the corner of her mouth because she noticed one of Yue Ruyan’s shirt buttons was not fastened.
Chen Mo didn’t explain, stepping forward to wrap his arms around her waist, then lifted her by her bottom, holding her face to face. Xiao Yunxi, afraid of falling, could only wrap her hands around Chen Mo’s neck as they headed towards the bed.
Seeing Yue Ruyan still in a daze, Chen Mo turned back to lightly pat her and said, "It’s late; it’s time to rest."
Yue Ruyan blushed and followed behind.
Chen Mo placed Xiao Yunxi on the bed and then asked, "What is it?"
ps: Thank you all for your rewards!
