Chapter 5 She's really a beauty

this moment, in a courtyard on the back hill, the Abbot who accepted alms for the old man as An Xuetang called him, was seated at the main position. Five monks standing before him were very respectful...An Xuetang was thinking and thinking, and she didn't know when she fell asleep.

Listening to her gradually steady breathing, Mo Yunjing opened his dark eyes and turned his head to look at her.

He had good eyesight; even in this darkness, he could see her face clearly.

Who is she, after all

How could a country girl possibly have medical skills

When she touched his legs just now, she lingered noticeably over the spot where his leg was broken. And even though she tried to conceal it, he could tell she was feeling his pulse.

Mo Yunjing's eyes were dark and unreadable, he stared at her for a long time before gradually falling asleep himself.

The next day

As the first light of dawn appeared, An Xue Tang slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was his face, breathtakingly beautiful.

An Xuetang thought to herself, if she could wake up every day for the rest of her life and see this face, she wouldn't have any regrets.

Mò Yúnjǐng hadn't woken up yet, An Xuetáng lightened her movements, got up and put on her outer garments before going out.

As she washed her face, An Xuetang took a basin of water. This was the first time she had seen her own reflection. The girl in the water had lost weight on her cheeks, but her features were delicate, her skin fair and smooth – truly a beautiful woman.

After washing up, An Xuetang entered the kitchen. Looking at the only small bag of white flour left, she thought for a moment and decided to use it to make noodles. Although in these times, very few people could afford to eat white flour, An Xuetang didn't intend to compromise on her food.

She had just finished rolling out the dough and hadn't had time to put it in the pot when Yunliu entered the kitchen. Seeing An Xuetang, he was taken aback for a moment, then pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Sister-in-law, I went to the village to exchange some eggs."

An Xuetang was delighted, "That's great, I was just about to cook noodles and adding eggs would be perfect."

Yún Lì gave a soft "Hmm" and handed her the egg, then turned and left, his back figure looking rather dejected.

He was undoubtedly disappointed, watching An Xue Tang still having the energy to get up and prepare breakfast. It seemed that his master had failed to consummate their marriage with her.

An Xuetang didn't know what he was thinking. After finishing their noodles, the three of them ate a simple breakfast.

After the meal, An Xuetang suggested going up the mountain, which made the two men stare at her intently.

"What...what's wrong" An Xue Tang felt a shiver run down her spine under his intense gaze.

Yunliu stood up angrily, “You won't get away with this!”

An Xuetang: "..."

It turns out it was a misunderstanding.

Although Mo Yunjing didn't say anything, it seemed like he agreed.

"I didn't want to run away."

"Then just stay home well," Yun Liu said forcefully, "I'm going to the town to trade wild game for some food today. You take care of my brother at home."

An Xue Tang raised an eyebrow. "Your brother doesn't need me to watch over him 24/7, he's capable of taking care of himself."

"Well, that's not going to work," Yunliu said, sounding like she wouldn't listen no matter what. "Just stay at home."

"So you're trying to put me under house arrest" An Xuetang's eyes turned cold.

"I..."

"Go ahead." Mo Yun Jing interrupted Yun Liu's words expressionlessly.

"Big brother," Yun Liu gritted his teeth, An Xuetang was the one he spent all his savings to buy back, just to leave a successor for his master. If she left, he might not have the money to buy another one back.

And, An Xue Tang looks much better than the women in the village. It would be alright for her to give birth to a future young master.

Mo Yunjing's eyes darkened, and he glanced at Yun Liu. Yun Liu immediately fell silent.

An Xue Tang rolled her eyes and coldly replied to Yun Liu, "I said I wouldn't run, and I won't. If I wanted to run, do you think you could stop me"

"You dare!" Yunliu clenched her fists, "Don't forget your family received the dowry, you are the wife of our big brother."

An Xuetang was speechless, "I really do want to forget." After she finished speaking, she looked at Mo Yunjing, whose expression remained unchanged, "Ah Jing, I want to go up the mountain to find some wild vegetables, do you agree"

If he dared to disagree, she would...she wouldn't even treat him anymore.

Why does she insist on going up the mountain

Isn't that just about giving him some medicinal herbs to suppress the toxicity first

Mo Yunjing's black eyes were deep, he looked at her for a moment, "Hmm."

An Xue Tang showed a satisfied smile, "Alright."

Yunliu refused to give up. He had a plan, he would drug the two of them tonight and make sure they slept together in the same room.

What if An Xuetang ran away on the pretext of going up the mountain

He can't gamble.

The matter of the master's legacy is pressing.

An Xuetang was too lazy to pay him any attention. After clearing the table, she found a basket and walked out.

Mo Yunjing and Yunliu were both in the courtyard. Mo Yunjing seemed unusually calm, but Yunliu was quite upset.

He stared intently at An Xuetang. Seeing that she was about to leave, he directly blocked her at the entrance of the courtyard, preventing her from going out.

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes, "Yunliu, what are you doing"

"You cannot leave."

"How so Do you really want to put me under house arrest"

"I... I'm not keeping you under house arrest." Yunliu wasn't good with words to begin with, she was just tongue-tied. She wanted to explain but didn't know where to start. Anyway, she just blocked the door and wouldn't let her leave.

An Xuetang's eyes darkened; she didn't have the patience to play games with him.

She walked straight towards him. In ancient times, they were very particular about men and women not touching each other, but she walked right up to him. She didn't believe that Yunliu dared to let her, his nominal sister-in-law, bump into him.

Yunliu was flustered, but he still let An Xue Tang win. Seeing her getting closer and closer, Yunliu truly dodged her advances.

Seeing an opening, An Xuetang suddenly ran outwards.

Yunliu raised her foot to chase after him, but Mo Yunjing spoke up just in time, "Yunliu."

Yunliu refused to stop her steps, "Master, she can't leave."

"I said yesterday that I would let her go, even if she took the opportunity to leave. Besides, I think she will come back."

Yunliu gritted his teeth. He just felt that she wouldn't come back. She never wanted to marry him in the first place. Yesterday, she was forced to endure a potent drug. Today, she recovered her strength, and Yunliu felt that she would definitely run away.

"You go and get some food. As for her... just ignore her," Mo Yunjing said thoughtfully.

An Xuetang... she will be back.

Although he couldn't figure out what was going on, for some reason, he trusted her.

On the other side, An Xuetang had already gone up the mountain. She had just tried it, and it turned out that as long as she silently recited in her mind wanting to hear Mo Yunjing and the others speak, she could really hear them talking.

But it is not always audible; she can only hear it within a radius of fifty meters. Beyond that range, she cannot hear it.

An Xuetang was eager to know if this golden finger was only for Mo Yunjing or if it worked on other people as well.

On her way up the mountain, An Xuetang encountered people from the village. As she possessed the original owner's memories, she had an impression of these people.

She spared them, slipping silently into the mountains. A few dozen meters from those people, An Xue Tang got ready to try out her golden finger.

When An Xuetang clearly heard those people speaking, she was overjoyed. Heaven favored her, giving her such a golden finger even after she crossed over. How wonderful!the wall before. But...but the Crown Princess threatened to commit suicide. Once we got closer, the Crown Princess was going to hang herself."No matter what, this Crown Princess is the Prince's woman....
