Chapter 1278: Chapter 400: Escape, Matters of Marriage for the Children_4

Yao, whom Emperor Huian spoke of, is Chu Heng’s eldest son who is about to be a full month old. His formal name is Chengyao, personally taken by Emperor Huian himself. Yao was an ancient emperor known for his outstanding character and exceptional intelligence, which made it clear that Emperor Huian held great expectations for this legitimate grandson.

Chu Heng, brimming with excitement when holding his eldest grandson, had already mentioned this to Xiao Ruiyuan when he came to offer his congratulations. The Crown Prince sincerely hoped his niece could give birth to a son to become his own son’s study companion, growing up together. And if she could have a daughter as well, it would be even better, for she could become his son’s wife.

Xiao Ruiyuan knew that Chu Heng’s words came from the heart, but he had no intention of allowing his yet-unborn child to become involved with the oft-troublesome Imperial Family, especially his daughter. Even if this legitimate grandson was to inherit the throne in the future, he wouldn’t agree to it.

After Chu Heng brought up the matter, Xiao Ruiyuan outright refused, without giving a reason. He believed his cousin would understand, but now that Emperor Huian had also entertained such thoughts, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and the impassive face he maintained before others finally shifted...

Mo Yan, who was still enjoying her time at Bao Hua Temple, was oblivious that even before her marriage, some were already coveting her yet non-existent children. And these two men were the most powerful in Great Chu. If she knew, she would probably lose any desire for leisure and sightseeing altogether.

"Sister, we’re leaving Bao Hua Temple this afternoon. Do you know where Dad plans to take us?" Xin Er, sitting by the creek and playing in the water with a yellowing twig, asked her sister who was busy scratching Mao Tuan’s itch.

Mo Yan had been scratching Mao Tuan for quite a while, and her wrist was starting to ache. Just as she heard her sister’s words and was about to take the opportunity to withdraw her hand, Mao Tuan moved faster. Stretching out his fluffy paws, he hugged her hand, opened his squinty tiger eyes, and signaled her not to stop.

"You lazy thing, you’ve enjoyed yourself long enough. Can’t you let me rest a bit?" Mo Yan, annoyed, swatted Mao Tuan’s head, urging him to let go of her hand.

"Aow!" Mao Tuan resisted, still clinging on and not willing to let go, but he did not demand Mo Yan to continue scratching him.

"Pff!" Xin Er burst into laughter at Mao Tuan’s stubborn antics, saying through giggles, "I think it just wants to stick to you! If you don’t want it to be so clingy, you’d have to call Brother-in-Law over."

Ever since Xue tuanzi pointed out what Mao Tuan had been reluctant to face, Mao Tuan had thoroughly taken a dislike to Xiao Ruiyuan. Knowing it couldn’t compete for affection with him, Mao Tuan simply stopped visiting him, adopting an out-of-sight, out-of-mind attitude.

Whenever Xiao Ruiyuan was around Mo Yan, Mao Tuan kept its distance. But as soon as Xiao Ruiyuan was gone, it became like sticky candy, inseparable from Mo Yan.

Xiao Ruiyuan’s sudden departure had made none other than Mao Tuan the happiest. While the other five beasts rushed to the surrounding mountains to frolic, bully the local ferocious animals, Mao Tuan stayed with Mo Yan, seizing every chance to act spoiled.

The change in Mao Tuan’s behavior was so obvious that even those unaware of its thoughts could guess what was going on just by seeing it.

Hearing her sister’s teasing, Mo Yan replied with a sense of helplessness, "This fellow is grown up too. It’s about time to find a wife for him. When we return, I’ll look for one in the mountains."

Typically, tigers mature at three years old, and Mao Tuan was already over three, indeed ready for a mate.

Upon hearing about getting a wife, Mao Tuan, who was lying down comfortably, instantly bristled and leaped up in a flash, glaring at Mo Yan indignantly!
