The Young Matriarch-Chapter 196: How Could He Not Like Her?
Chapter 196 -196: How Could He Not Like Her?
Bai Chuwei entered the attic bedroom. The bedroom was clean and tidy, with her homework already copied onto the desk by her little paper servants.

Xue Qiu perched atop five small paper cranes in a row, its two claws holding a bottle of perfume, spraying it towards the door:
“Welcome back, great ancestor! Xue Qiu has sprayed away the outside stink!”
Bai Chuwei’s face darkened slightly, “That perfume was made from the leftover Spiritual Medicine. Do you think it’s an air freshener?”
Xue Qiu asserted righteously, *’The great ancestor doesn’t like to use perfume, I’m just putting it to good use.’*
Heh.
Bai Chuwei glanced disdainfully, “Look at how fat you’ve become; don’t crush all my paper cranes.”
*’I’m just fluffy, fluffy, fluffy!’*
Bai Chuwei was uninterested in Xue Qiu’s daily self-deception, reached out to pick it up and rescued the five poor paper cranes.
Xue Qiu’s gem-blue eyes suddenly sparkled, eagerly saying, ‘Great ancestor, I discovered today that Bai Hongguang and the nanny Chen Yi are having an affair!’
Bai Chuwei wasn’t surprised at all; she had already seen it coming. Chen Yi was an unsettled woman, and Bai Hongguang simply couldn’t control his lower half.
Liu Man was too dominant and kept a tight leash on mistresses, they wouldn’t have missed an opportunity like this to have an affair.
She laid out her hundreds of Space Artifacts on the desk, muttering to herself, “It seems this Artifact contains calligraphy and paintings, this one holds swords of famous generals from past generations, and this is…”
As Space Artifacts were mainly for convenient carrying, Bai Chuwei’s desk was filled with bracelets, rings, bangles, necklaces, and the like.
Xue Qiu sat aside, curiously asking, ‘Great ancestor, what are you looking for?’
“Picking out a gift for Hanhan… I wonder if he’ll like it,” Bai Chuwei murmured to herself.
She had given Qi Mo and Bai Ze Jade Talismans today; Duan Feihan radiated “unhappiness” and “I want one too.” The great ancestor will please him!
Regrettably, in the original text, Duan Feihan was just a villainous tool, and it seems the original author never considered his love life or mate selection. So, even his preferences weren’t specifically outlined, leaving even Bai Chuwei clueless about what he liked.
Apart from caring a bit more for his family, the villain didn’t seem to have anything he particularly liked.
Xue Qiu stirred things up from the side, ‘He wouldn’t dare to dislike a gift from you, great ancestor.’
*’If the child doesn’t like it, it’s mostly just being naughty. A good spanking will make him like it.’*
Bai Chuwei smirked coldly; with a flick of her right hand, she sent Xue Qiu flying out the window.
Ten minutes later, Xue Qiu climbed back up, whining in grievance, ‘Great ancestor never struggled this much when giving gifts to others!’
Bai Chuwei paused, then huffed lightly, “Duan Feihan is different.” This villainous boss was not so easily appeased.
After much deliberation, Bai Chuwei eventually chose a piece of wood called “Nuanxiang Wood.” She remembered it as a gift from the young Emperor, when he had invited her to become the Imperial Tutor. It was the only piece in the world.
Rumors said that this piece of Nuanxiang Wood could buy ten cities and was declared a famous treasure of the age by the young Emperor at the time.
Bai Chuwei hooked her lips, thinking this should show enough sincerity. She refused to believe that Duan Feihan wouldn’t even like this!
Holding a professional wood carving tool, Bai Chuwei sat under the warm light, shadows falling like delicate brush strokes, her eyes especially serious and focused as the wood shavings gently fell from her hands.
Xue Qiu curled up nearby, dozing off with mixed feelings.
This fourth master of the Duan Family was very likely to become the next Duan Xiuqi.
