[GL]Whose Wife Is Always Acting Pitiful? Oh, It Turns Out It’s Mine 96

Chapter 96: Flirting and Teasing

Coming out of the valley, there was a large lush forest outside. Looking at the autumn chrysanthemums blooming along the path in the forest, Xue Mu couldn’t help saying, “These chrysanthemums are not as beautiful as those on Jin Mountain!”

After speaking, she realized she had misspoken and hurriedly shut her mouth, looking back cautiously. Dugu Yuan’an turned her face to look at the flowers, seeming to also admire the blooming scenery. Slightly relieved, Xue Mu smiled and said, “Yuan’er, do you want me to pick some for you to put in the carriage?”

“When I was young, I picked a very beautiful small purple chrysanthemum. The color deepened from the center outwards. The slightly curled petals spread out layer by layer, slender and soft. After being moistened by the morning dew, it emitted a pleasant fragrance. I can’t remember what that fragrance was like now, only that it smelled very good.” Dugu Yuan’an spoke to herself, a hint of nostalgia appearing in her eyes. “I picked one of the most beautiful small purple chrysanthemums, wanting to show it to my mother.”

Xue Mu listened quietly. Dugu Yuan’an said slowly, “When I went over, my mother was teasing pigeons with my sister. My sister liked to snuggle in my mother’s arms, smiling so sweetly and happily.”

“I heard her say, ‘Mother, I want to drink pigeon soup.’ Mother didn’t think there was anything wrong, just smiled and said, ‘You can drink pigeon soup, but only if we go down the mountain. Drinking it on the mountain will get us scolded by the uncles.’ My sister said, ‘I don’t want to, I want to drink it on the mountain,’ and threw a tantrum. My mother said helplessly, ‘Alright, then we can only make it secretly and drink it secretly.’ My sister hugged her and acted coquettishly, ‘Mother treats me the best. The uncles and grandfathers are so fierce.'”

Speaking of this, Dugu Yuan’an’s face darkened slightly, but she adjusted her expression before continuing.

“I wanted to go over to find my mother, holding that small purple chrysanthemum in my hand. After I walked over, my mother saw me, and the smile on her face was very awkward. She only said, ‘Ah, Yuan’er is here.’ I really wanted to call her Mother, but my sister said, ‘Mother, is this the steward uncle’s child?’ I saw my mother look very embarrassed, found an excuse, and left, leaving me and my sister.”

“Although my sister and Mu Ruo were both direct heirs of the ‘Bright Light Generation,’ Mu Ruo was already the designated next clan leader. Although they also poured effort into disciplining my sister, they weren’t as attentive as they were to Mu Ruo. My sister felt those elders were very fierce and didn’t like them. Actually, the elders liked me very much, but my identity was already set as the daughter of a servant, so I couldn’t show my face too much in front of them.”

“Seeing me holding the small purple chrysanthemum, my sister curled her lip and said, ‘Where did you pick that wildflower? I have many beautiful small chrysanthemums in my room, thousands of times prettier than yours.’ I said, ‘I found this myself. I think it looks better than those in your room.’ My sister was unhappy and grabbed the flower in my hand. Unwilling to have it snatched, I subconsciously dodged. At that time, my eight extraordinary meridians were opened, my body free and light, so I dodged easily. My sister didn’t expect I could dodge. Angry, she circulated Soul Cold internal energy, hit me with a palm, and ran away. I looked down and saw the flower in my hand was also crushed out of shape by me.”

Hearing this, waves of bitterness washed over Xue Mu’s chest. She thought that although the ancestral instructions of the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain had their merits, sacrificing an heir in every generation for the last chance of survival for the family was a huge grievance for the individual.

“Before, I told you that I thought of my mother accompanying me to watch small fish. Actually, she wasn’t accompanying me.” Dugu Yuan’an smiled faintly.

Xue Mu’s nose soured, and she whispered, “I’ll accompany you in the future. We’ll watch every day and every night.”

Dugu Yuan’an laughed. “Watching small fish all the time, will we still do other serious things?”

Xue Mu rubbed her nose and said loudly, “I don’t care! Anyway, things others are unwilling to do for you, I will do for you! Not only will I accompany you to watch small fish, but also pigeons. I’ll accompany you wherever you want to go!”

Dugu Yuan’an’s gaze was deep and gentle. She pursed her lips and smiled. “My wife treats me well. When my legs are healed, I will work hard to serve my wife.”

Xue Mu snorted. “You married me. If you don’t serve me, I’ll find another woman.”

Dugu Yuan’an said, “Forbidden.”

Xue Mu shook her head and made a face at her, her smile bright and passionate. Dugu Yuan’an’s heart skipped a beat, wanting only to take her back to the Dugu Manor, lock her up, and stare at her obsessively day and night.

After passing through the lush forest, the two slowly proceeded down the slope. The setting sun slowly sank on the horizon, dyeing the clouds brilliant red. Having heard about Dugu Yuan’an’s childhood, Xue Mu also wanted to talk about her own affairs. But mentioning her own affairs, how could she avoid those days of enduring the Fire Poison? As soon as she mentioned it, Dugu Yuan’an asked about Mu Ruo entering the cold pool.

“Every time Mu Ruo went in, were you naked in the cold pool?”

Xue Mu stammered, “This…”

Dugu Yuan’an said, “Mu Ruo watched you grow up, didn’t she?”

Xue Mu blushed and said, “Don’t talk nonsense. A-Ruo talked to me by the cold pool. I leaned against the cold pool, my body in the water, she couldn’t see anything.”

Dugu Yuan’an snorted lightly. “Then how could I see you clearly in the cold pool? How many marks, moles, and scars you have on your body, I—”

Xue Mu said shyly, “That’s because you insisted on looking at me from the front. Is it the same!”

Dugu Yuan’an raised her eyebrows. After finishing her sentence, Xue Mu felt even more shy and annoyed, shouting, “I don’t care! Anyway, there’s nothing between A-Ruo and me! Don’t think nonsense!”

Dugu Yuan’an just wanted to tease her, so she smiled and said, “Alright, alright, I won’t say it anymore. I won’t say it in the future.”

Going down the slope to the relatively flat fields, seeing farmhouses in the distance, Xue Mu looked at the continuous mountain shadows afar and said, “That must be Cloud Appreciation Mountain.”

Dugu Yuan’an said, “Yes.”

Xue Mu smiled cunningly. “I heard that the women on Cloud Appreciation Mountain are like fairies, dazzling people’s eyes. I heard that as soon as the disciples of the Cloud Appreciation Mountain Sect show their faces, they can confuse people so much they lose their way. Before they wake up, the opponent’s sword will pierce into the major acupoint of the heart!”

Understanding her meaning, Dugu Yuan’an didn’t follow her lead, saying lightly, “My finger technique can also pierce into the major acupoint of your heart invisibly. Do you want to try?”

Xue Mu said, “I don’t want to.”

Dugu Yuan’an said, “Really? Then I’ll poke the horse to make you run faster.”

Before Xue Mu could speak, the horse under her suddenly neighed, raising its front legs high. She hurriedly tightened the reins. The horse galloped forward rapidly. Xue Mu also leaned back heavily, shouting, “Dugu Yuan’an! You really have a bad heart————”

Xue Mu’s voice gradually faded away. The person and horse ran for a mile before stopping. Dugu Yuan’an watched with a beaming smile, muttering to herself, “Bad heart, but you like it all the same.”
