Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law-Chapter 397

Behind the long table.

Chen Mo sat on the floor, Xiao Yunxi nestled in his hold, appearing extremely uncomfortable, yet a strange feeling surged within her because Chen Mo’s large hand was gently stroking her behind.

Chu Juan sat beside them, even as she lowered her head and avoided looking, her jade face was tinged with a rosy hue.

Does he not care about being seen by others?

This was Chu Juan’s inner voice.

"I called you here to say that we will be leaving Huai State tomorrow. Once we reach Linzhou, you will have to settle there for a long time, so while there is still time today, buy whatever you need and remember to bring what you need to take." Chen Mo said.

Chu Juan nodded her fair head.

But Xiao Yunxi felt somewhat annoyed: "Just to say this?"

"Also, to tell you about my family’s situation in advance, so you can mentally prepare and remember who they are." Chen Mo said.

Xiao Yunxi waited for a while before speaking: "Is that all?"

"That’s all." Chen Mo said seriously.

"You called us into your room just for this?" Xiao Yunxi was furious, thinking his intentions were unrelated, these trivial matters are hardly worth mentioning.

As for your family situation, I have known for a long time, and these can be discussed along the journey, can’t they?

"Is it not possible?" Chen Mo placed his hand on Xiao Yunxi’s fragrant shoulder and said, "If I must say, there is actually one more thing."

"What is it?"

"At least you, Consort, and Juan’Er are from the same household, yet when you come to me, you act like strangers, this won’t do. Calling you two here is just right to deepen feelings..."

As Chen Mo spoke, Xiao Yunxi couldn’t help but utter a soft moan.

Because Chen Mo’s hand on her shoulder slid down along her collar.

Despite it being only morning, he wanted to alleviate her full warehouse issues.

"You... don’t..."

Xiao Yunxi noticed Chu Juan’s gaze and felt that she would always be inferior in her presence from now on.

After all, such shameful scenes were all witnessed by the other.

Before finishing her words, her face was seized by Chen Mo’s other hand, turning her to face him, and then her fragrant lips were kissed, emitting muffled sounds.

Chu Juan watched, her face flushed red.

After a moment of intimate affection, Xiao Yunxi’s palace skirt magically retreated to her armpits, revealing her fragrant shoulders, collarbones, and bosom.

Chu Juan’s eyes widened slightly, this too...

She glanced down, inexplicably feeling inferior.

Xiao Yunxi’s pristine jade cheeks flushed with a layer of red, knowing her shame was completely lost, she quickly turned around and buried her head in Chen Mo’s embrace, pretending to be an ostrich.

"Consort, you’re so beautiful..." Chen Mo lifted Xiao Yunxi’s chin, making her look up.

In the instant she raised her head, he lowered his head again to capture those plump lips.

At that moment, Xiao Yunxi’s voice was filled with tenderness and charm.

Facing this scene, Chu Juan’s face felt as if it had been boiled in water, for she had been like this herself before.

Then, under Chen Mo’s glance of suggestion, she too took the initiative to cling closer to Chen Mo.

As expected, as she moved closer, her delicate shoulder was immediately embraced by Chen Mo, and before she could speak, her chin was pinched by a hot large hand, and soon her cherry lips were covered by warmth.

The taste of Princess Consort Huai.

"Mmm mmm..." Chu Juan’s pupils slightly enlarged, although she had guessed Chen Mo wanted to engage in chaos seeing the Princess Consort before, she never expected that while still fooling around with the Princess Consort, he would kiss her too.

This too...

Such a scenario exceeded her understanding.

Yet this breaking-the-norm behavior filled Chu Juan’s heart with an indescribable stimulation.

Xiao Yunxi turned back to witness this scene, and with her embroidered shoes, her jade toes clenched tightly. She haphazardly messed up her hairpin, letting her hair fall to cover her face, as if such a sham act could restore some dignity.

Soon, the things on the long table were knocked to the ground.

...

Fengzhou.

After Prince Huai decided to dispatch troops to aid Longyou, following these days of arrangements, they officially set out today, led by Chu Ce with the strategist team headed by Diwu Fusheng accompanying them.

In a room at the backyard of Prince Huai’s Mansion.

Madam Xiao was being served lunch by the maid, picked up a teacup, and took a sip. Under the afternoon sunlight, her enchanting face radiated with charm upon her fragrant, jade-like skin.

It was a curious thing, lately when looking in the mirror, Madam Xiao found her complexion had deteriorated compared to when she was at Wuguan. Her skin was no longer as supple, and she felt a mysterious sense of blockage, making it hard to feel at ease.

At this moment, the maid’s voice echoed, saying Madam Gan had arrived.

Madam Xiao said to quickly invite her in.

Madam Gan, wearing a splendid silk dress, appeared noble and elegant, showcasing the disposition of a lady.

As soon as Madam Gan entered, she closed the door, then smiled: "Sister, good news, through our efforts, Chu Shou hasn’t accompanied the troops this time."

"What kind of good news is this? Wu’Er and Feng’Er aren’t with the army either." Madam Xiao puckered her lips, although her gaze studied Madam Gan’s face.

Wu’Er and Feng’Er were their sons.

"Sister, you don’t understand. Chu Shou, after all, is Prince’s eldest son, having managed the Imperial Guard before, he naturally has an advantage in inheriting the Crown Prince’s title. If our family hadn’t hindered, he would have gone with the expedition to Longyou. This is the Dragon Strategy Army, and if they win in Longyou, he would also gain prestige within it. If he gathers influence, the future Crown Prince’s position would be even harder to contest." Madam Gan explained leisurely.

Finishing, Madam Gan noticed Madam Xiao looking at her, not knowing if something was wrong before asking, "Sister, what are you looking at?"

"Sister, haven’t you noticed your complexion has returned to what it was in Huai Zhou City, not like when you were at Wuguan?" Madam Xiao said.

Upon hearing this, Madam Gan paused, then blushed slightly and said, "Sister, you noticed? I thought with the rouge, you wouldn’t see it."
