Chapter 1222: Chapter 385: I’m Still a Baby_3

The attire of literati differed from that of martial artists, with elements like the sleeves, waist, and hem designed to be loose, allowing for a more elegant and flowing appearance when walking. In contrast, martial artists wore tight sleeves and waists, with hems that weren’t overly large, facilitating unimpeded action during vigorous movements.

At this moment, the outfit that was tailor-made for Mo Qingze was being donned by Xiao Ruiyuan, and not only did it not look old-fashioned on him, but it also made him seem much gentler. If he could restrain his imposing aura, he would resemble a Confucian General even more.

It was just that Xiao Ruiyuan was taller than Mo Qingze by half a head. Whilst the hem was passable—since shortening or lengthening it by a fraction was not readily noticeable—the sleeves were a different story, falling short by an entire inch. Fortunately, they were designed to be wide and were already made longer than usual, so they looked just right now, merely lacking a bit of flamboyance.

Xiao Ruiyuan felt somewhat uneasy under the gaze of the three sisters, yet the look of amazement on his fiancée’s face was quite gratifying. At that moment, her eyes saw only him.

As Mo Yan’s gaze followed his every move, Xiao Ruiyuan suddenly felt a playful urge and with a low, tempting voice, asked, "Do I look good?"

"Very good-looking!" Mo Yan nodded emphatically and replied earnestly.

Xiao Ruiyuan’s lips curved in a slight smile, suddenly finding the outfit more pleasing to the eye, so he continued, "This outfit doesn’t fit very well, how about you make me two more sets?"

Mo Yan gave him a thorough once-over and felt the more she looked, the better he appeared, "Sure, I’ll make them for you once I’m done with the busy period."

Xiao Ruiyuan was delighted and in his joy, forgot the presence of the two younger sisters-in-law as he extended his hand towards Mo Yan’s head, affectionately stroking it a couple of times.

Xin Er’s mouth formed an "O" shape as she suddenly realized that the couples she had seen on the streets paled in comparison to her sister and brother-in-law—they were far less dazzling.

After shooing Xiao Ruiyuan to the front courtyard, Mo Yan and her two sisters went to their lodgings in the Scholar Mansion to change their clothes. The sisters each had a room in the mansion due to its layout, with all three situated in a small courtyard.

The courtyard was surrounded on three sides by identical structures, each comprising a room, a living area, and a storage space. Although narrower than their family home, the accommodations were more than sufficient for a few people.

A couple of days prior, Aunt Sun had cleaned the rooms thoroughly. The bedding, curtains, and door draperies had all been renewed, while the tables and wardrobes, originally from Scholar Mansion, were spotless, lending a clean and simple charm to the place.

After changing, Mo Yan admired the antique pieces in the room while waiting for her sisters. It wasn’t long before Xin Er and Shengsheng entered, joining their sister on the bed.

The affection among the three sisters ran deep. Without beating around the bush, Mo Yan directly asked, "You both didn’t seem happy earlier. Was it because of Aunt Cui?"

Shengsheng stole a glance at Xin Er and fidgeted with her fingers without speaking.

Xin Er bit her lip and nodded sullenly, "She hasn’t even married into our family yet, and she’s already won over Zhenzhen, that fool."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yan began to understand her sister’s perspective and asked, "Do you think she is manipulative?"

Xin Er looked at her sister and asked incredulously, "Isn’t she? Zhenzhen is the only boy in our family, and she, she can’t bear children. Won’t winning over Zhenzhen be for her own benefit? If she’s like this before even marrying in, what else can you call it if not manipulative?"

Instead of answering directly, Mo Yan posed a question in return, "Do you really think Zhenzhen is foolish?"

Xin Er was taken aback and subconsciously shook her head.

Mo Yan sighed and took her sister’s slightly cold hand, "You are prejudiced against Aunt Cui, and that’s why you think she’s manipulative when you see Zhenzhen being close to her. Even if her winning over Zhenzhen is for her own benefit, what’s wrong with that? If she needs something from Zhenzhen, she will undoubtedly treat him well. Only if Zhenzhen is doing well can he be her support in the future. This is natural human behavior, and any clever person would probably do the same. We can’t say she’s manipulative for that."

Xin Er’s face changed abruptly as her sister articulated thoughts Xin Er herself had not been conscious of.

Mo Yan patted her sister’s hand and suggested, "Why don’t you let go of your bias and look at Aunt Cui from an outsider’s perspective? Pretend she’s a stranger, pretend she’s not marrying our father, and earnestly observe what kind of person she truly is."

Look from an outsider’s perspective?

Xin Er lowered her head, deep in thought.

Mo Yan didn’t disturb her reflection and turned to stroke Shengsheng’s head, asking, "What about you? Why are you unhappy?"
