Chapter 896: Chapter 896: Taming the Bird (2)

Mo Yan rolled her eyes and grabbed Maomao by the neck, grinding her teeth as she said, "Now is not the time for nitpicking words, you quickly tell me everything you know."

Maomao, fluttering his wings, struggled to free himself from Mo Yan’s "Magical Claw". He covetously glanced at the peaches hanging from the peach trees several times before reluctantly chirping out everything he had overheard that day.

Upon learning that Fan Meijiao not only considered her father a backup plan but also intended to coerce her into marrying a relative of the Zhao Family to become "one of their own", Mo Yan couldn’t help but laugh sarcastically, "That woman is really quite self-assured. Does she really think that by removing me, the ’threat’, my father would take an interest in a woman of such inferior character?"

Xuetuan was also furious, his tone seething with deep resentment, "Yanyan, don’t be angry, I’ll definitely teach that woman a lesson for you. I’ll make sure she can never marry or, better, I’ll make her marry the man she despises the most and live in misery for the rest of her life." If it could go out, it would waste no time in dealing with that woman.

Mo Yan shook her head and held Xuetuan in her arms, saying, "I can’t depend on you for everything. I can handle this matter myself; you don’t need to intervene."

Upon hearing this, Xuetuan wanted to say something but then swallowed his words, merely saying, "Tomorrow, let those guys go into the mountains to catch some spiritual birds. I will train them well, so in the future, Yanyan can receive information as quickly as possible."

While saying this, he glanced disdainfully at Maomao, who was still salivating over the peaches, "That fellow is too big and easily noticed if used frequently."

Mo Yan knew that having more spiritual birds would be like having extra eyes and ears everywhere. Seeing Xuetuan suggest this, she nodded in agreement.

"Since the Zhao Family has designs on my father, and they dare to compare him to the Duchess of Yongchang’s nephew, they must have been in contact with my father regularly. I’m going now to ask him to be more cautious to avoid their schemes."

Xuetuan urged, "Then you should quickly go and tell Yanyan’s Father about it. Considering the disgusting things the Zhao Family people are capable of, their actions wouldn’t be surprising."

Mo Yan stepped out of the Spiritual Spring and was about to go find her father to warn him to be wary of the Zhao Family when she suddenly remembered that her father had left for his new post two days ago, moving into the bestowed Scholar Mansion. He would only return home on the tenth day of each month for his day of rest.

She slapped her forehead, still unaccustomed to the change, and realized that she needed to train some birds quickly, or even messaging would be problematic.

Though the Six Beasts could carry messages and no one would dare harm them in broad daylight, they were still ferocious animals. If they accidentally frightened the livestock and horses on the busy streets and caused them to panic and hurt someone, that would be bad.

Little Flower, who was once mistaken for a dog, was looking less like one by the day. His imposing energy was even more intimidating; even if he didn’t quite look like a wolf, no one would dare provoke him. He could no longer roam freely in the city as before.

For these reasons, she had never taken the Six Beasts to the city, and they, not fond of human hustle and bustle, preferred staying in the mountains, matching strength with their own kind.

Thinking that her father would be home in a couple of days for his rest, Mo Yan was not in a rush. She prepared to check on the terraced medicine fields. Donning a sun-shading veil hat and filling a covered wooden bucket with Spirit Spring Water, she carried it to the fields.

Viewing the promising green rice seedlings, Mo Yan’s otherwise gloomy mood brightened considerably.

It was the end of May, and the noon sun was blazing and intensely hot. However, in the fields, over twenty villagers were diligently working, sweating profusely. They had been hired by Old Man Ding to help clear the weeds, for in such weather, weeds grew quickly. If not cleared in time, they would deplete the soil’s nutrients, affecting the normal growth of the seedlings.
