Chapter 1231: Chapter 388: Strange Iron Plate

If only one person’s lips were injured, any excuse would do to gloss it over, but when two people were injured at the same time, and in such a sensitive area, anyone with experience could tell what had really happened besides naive children.

Mo Yan, touching her swollen and broken lips, simply had no face to return to the teahouse. Thereupon, she decisively let Xiao Ruiyuan go back alone, and made him tell the others that she was feeling unwell, while she headed directly back to the Scholar Mansion. She planned to stay in the Space for a while that evening until her wound healed before coming out again.

Xiao Ruiyuan really wanted to say that this excuse was full of holes and that no one would believe it; on the contrary, it would be more convincing if he said he had urgent military affairs to attend to and had to leave first. However, seeing that Mo Yan was resolute, he suddenly didn’t want to say it anymore. Since Mo Yan hadn’t thought it through carefully, it was destined that this cover-up would be seen through.

Xiao Ruiyuan was uneasy about letting Mo Yan go back alone, so he hired a carriage and personally escorted her back to the Scholar Mansion. After watching her enter, he returned to the teahouse and repeated the reason why Mo Yan had gone back to the Scholar Mansion early.

"That’s not right, brother-in-law!" Zhenzhen was the first to notice the flaw and expressed her doubts, "Before we went out, elder sister gave each of us a pellet in case we had stomach problems, for emergency use. I saw with my own eyes elder sister putting the remaining pellets into her pouch. If she had stomach problems, couldn’t she just take a pellet and be fine?"

Reminded by Zhenzhen, everyone suddenly remembered the pellet on their waists and couldn’t help looking at Xiao Ruiyuan suspiciously. And with that look, they noticed the conspicuous wound at the corner of his mouth.

If it were just that wound, it might have been nothing, but with Mo Yan suddenly returning to the Scholar Mansion, it was hard not to think more of it.

Facing those odd glances, Xiao Ruiyuan, without changing his expression, said the words he had prepared beforehand, "I was in too much of a hurry earlier and accidentally collided with someone on the way."

"Ah, brother-in-law, who could be so formidable to even make you unable to avoid them?" Zhenzhen exclaimed in surprise, her eyes brimming with admiration for the unknown passerby.

Xiao Ruiyuan’s lips twitched almost imperceptibly, feeling that his brother-in-law might be getting into trouble if he continued to dig deeper. He gently stroked Zhenzhen’s head and softly said, "Brother-in-law was lost in thought and didn’t notice in time to dodge."

"Ah? So that’s what happened!" Zhenzhen’s shoulders slumped, showing a small expression of disappointment; he had thought he would get to hear one of the thrilling martial arts stories told by the Storytellers!

To avoid the little guy asking more strange questions, Xiao Ruiyuan decisively changed the subject. As for whether the earlier explanation could convince the "persons with firsthand experience" was no longer within his concerns.

If this matter could somehow prompt his future father-in-law to settle his betrothal with Yanyan sooner, that would be even better.

Of course, Mo Qingze had no idea of his prospective son-in-law’s "nefarious intent". He stared coldly at the prospective son-in-law’s lips for a long time and did not show him a good face until the lantern appreciation was over and everyone returned to their respective mansions.

Back at the Scholar Mansion, Mo Yan had already entered the Space and was luxuriously soaking in the Spirit Spring Water. The corner of her mouth, originally broken, now showed only a shallow trace left; if she washed it twice more with the Spirit Spring Water, it would be completely healed, not even leaving a mark of the wound.

"Yanyan, I didn’t expect you to have such a fierce side, too! Tsk tsk, there was blood gushing out then, it nearly broke my heart." Xue tuanzi, whose eyes were covered with a black cloth, lay beside the bath, unsure whether he was more sympathetic or more schadenfreude.

Mo Yan’s face flushed with embarrassment, she poked at Xue tuanzi’s belly and threatened, "If you dare to mention this matter again, do you believe I will take a knife to cut open your belly right now and stuff it with an upgraded version of the Spring Medicine Pellet?"

Hearing the Spring Medicine Pellet, Xue tuanzi trembled violently in his little body and reluctantly closed his "mouth".

After soaking enough, Mo Yan got up, dried off her body, and after changing into clean clothes, she went to the Medicine Refining Room. The Medicine Refining Room was actually a small bamboo house which was not large in size but exquisitely made.

The small bamboo house was built by Mo Yan from bamboo she had cut down from the mountain; Xuetuan had a decent sense of aesthetics, making the bamboo house pretty and sturdy. In addition, the bamboos that were buried in the ground started growing roots again, flourishing even more than when they were on the mountain, which meant that the little house was alive, it had life.
