Chapter 963: Chapter 963 The School Starts Classes and Another Freeloader Arrives (4)

The others weren’t doing much better, especially Cui Pingan. Under Xin Er’s murderous gaze, he simply mixed soy sauce with three bowls of white rice and ate it all, while everyone admired his courage, they silently mourned for his stomach. This time, his intestines must have turned the color of soy sauce, right?

Along with a few dishes, Mo Yan reluctantly finished a bowl of white rice and hurried back to her courtyard, diving into Space to guzzle down three large cups of Spirit Spring Water. Only then did her somewhat choked-up stomach feel better.

After chatting with Xuetuanzi without much connection for a while, feeling that her stomach had digested most of the food, Mo Yan left Space and lay down on the bed to sleep for half an hour. Not long after she got up, Xin Er came over and said Yan Junyu was here.

Mo Yan was somewhat puzzled; the fruits in the orchard weren’t ripe yet, and the rice in the paddy fields couldn’t be harvested until next month. She really couldn’t fathom what Yan Junyu was doing here at this time.

However, after seeing Yan Junyu in person and listening to his whole tale of woe, she finally understood that he had come in search of comfort.

"In the eyes of elders, it’s only normal for men to marry and women to wed. Young Master Yan is of age to take a wife and father children; how could Lord Yan not urge him?" Mo Yan said, utterly speechless after listening to the whole story.

If ordinary men were being urged to marry by their families or had to meet a young lady, they’d likely be filled with anticipation and nervousness. But this one in front of her was repulsed by the idea as if it were worse than snakes and scorpions. He had come here after having a big fight with his grandfather, Lord Yan, about getting married and stormed out in a huff!

Yan Junyu looked at Mo Yan with his profound gaze and said, "If I were to take a wife, I would marry a woman I like. Not just any tomcat or stray dog can become my lady, the future mistress of Wu An’s Mansion."

Tomcats and stray dogs? Mo Yan rolled her eyes silently and retorted, "Even if you wanted to marry a tomcat or stray dog, you’d still have to see if they’re willing, okay?"

Yan Junyu, after hearing this, snapped open his Jade Bone Fan with a pop, swept up the hair by his ears with an air of smugness, and said, "I have the looks of Pan An, the grace of a gentleman poised as a graceful willow, wealth and power to my name. It’s only me who does the choosing; who would dare look down upon me?"

Mo Yan couldn’t be bothered to argue with him about this unproductive topic and directly asked, "You didn’t come to my house just to tell me this, did you?"

"Of course not!" Yan Junyu, fanning himself with the Jade Bone Fan, arrogantly declared, "I don’t want to go back and listen to the old man nag. I’ll be staying at your place for a while to relax my mind. As the host, you must treat me well!"

"No way!" Mo Yan rejected the idea outright without hesitation, "My dad is not at home; it’s inconvenient for a grown man to stay!"

Of course, that was only part of the reason. More importantly, a certain someone would definitely flip his lid if he found out she had "shamelessly" allowed another man to stay in the house.

Yan Junyu was dissatisfied and said, "Isn’t there already a man living in your house now? How come it’s inconvenient when I want to stay?"

Mo Yan hadn’t expected him to be so well informed and deliberately made things difficult for him, "He’s a hired hand I employ. He works during the day and eats at the house. At night, he sleeps away in the mill. If Young Master Yan is willing to deign to sleep in the mill and help fetch water and chop firewood during the day, then I might consider letting you stay."

Yan Junyu knew full well that Mo Yan said this to make him back off. He intended to pressure her with his status, but remembering she was a County Lord, and their social standings were virtually the same, he gave up the idea and began to build on their relationship instead, "You’ve grown quite calculating, young lady. We’ve known each other for so many years; do you really have the heart to make me sleep in the mill and do such rough work?"

Mo Yan waved her hands dismissively, not relenting at all, "You’re not some fragile bride; what’s there for me to feel sorry about? Anyway, you only have two choices: leave, or work and sleep in the mill. No third option."

Seeing that she was serious and that there was no room for negotiation, Yan Junyu felt so frustrated he could grind his teeth, "Hmph, if I must live in the mill then so be it, but don’t you think for a second I’ll do those chores for your family."

Seeing that he even agreed to this, Mo Yan unexpectedly found herself lacking reasons to say no and had to reluctantly agree, "As long as you’re happy."

Yan Junyu felt a small victory, initially rather pleased with himself; but the thought of a Young Master like himself having to stay in a humble mill took the wind out of his sails. After all, who asked him to so foolishly insist on worming his way here?

The Mo Family’s mill was spacious enough, but the only vacant room was the one Cui Pingan occupied. Yan Junyu adamantly refused to share a room with someone else, so Mo Yan had no choice but to clean up a room behind the schoolhouse where the Master stayed, and let him move in there.

The room designated for the Master was naturally better than the mill. Though somewhat cramped, there was no issue living in it. Yan Junyu had been raised in Duke Wu’an’s luxurious estate, and such a room was far from meeting his standards. But with the Six Beasts eyeing him with menacing intensity, he dared not try to scale the walls of the Mo Family’s home in the middle of the night.

And so, Yan Junyu found himself living behind the schoolhouse. The day the school officially started, he even went there to play the role of a Master, earnestly lecturing the children.

However, his way of thinking wasn’t quite like the others. Even when he spoke of universally accepted truths that seemed correct, he somehow managed to twist them into a series of skewed lessons, yet ingeniously in such a way that no one could fault them.

The two Masters were worried that the children didn’t have strong enough willpower to resist being swayed by Young Master Yan’s skewed doctrines, and never again dared to let him in during lessons.

That day, Young Master Yan got a whim to visit the schoolhouse again to experience the joy of being a Master, but no matter how hard he knocked, he couldn’t get the tightly closed doors to open. Realizing that he’d been rejected, he left with a depressed look on his face.
