For Madam Mo, this was a common occurrence, and others didn’t pay much attention to it.
And when Mo Yi finished dealing with the so-called official business, he quietly arrived at his mother’s family mansion, the Duke’s mansion, entering through the back door.
After being welcomed into the hall, Mo Yi discovered that besides his foster mother and the Duke, there was also the young emperor sitting in the main seat.
Clearly, Huang Futian was much warmer towards Mo Yi this time, knowing his true identity as the descendant of Marquis Zhongyong’s mansion. Therefore, it was impossible for him to be an ally of the regent.
Although Huang Futian had been secretly cultivating his power, it was evident that he was no match for Huang Fuxiao. So, with the additional help of the Duke and Mo Yi as allies, he was very pleased.
What surprised him even more was when Madam Mo opened the box she brought supposedly as a gift for the Duke’s mansion, it was actually intended for the Emperor.
Inside were a large number of silver bills and various treasures, dazzling to behold.
Even the Duke, now, was dumbfounded.
“Little sister, where did you get all these silver bills and treasures from?”
Although his sister often gave him and his wife some nice things before, he never imagined Madam Mo could possess such a large amount of assets.
Madam Mo shrugged indifferently at his question, “These were all gifts from Huang Fuxiao. I’ll keep what I like and sell what I don’t, thinking that I might need it in the future. Now, it’s just right to offer them to the Emperor!”
As it turned out, even Emperors needed money, and he needed it badly.
In this world, money was needed to drive everything you wanted to do. Madam Mo’s offering of wealth could be said to have solved Huang Futian’s urgent needs. The young Emperor caressed one of the priceless jade horses inside, marveling at the wealth of the regent’s mansion.
He had heard about how his cold and ruthless uncle, who only loved power, but treated Madam Mo differently. Today, he witnessed it firsthand.
The wealth and treasures here even made him, the Emperor, envious.
“Excellent! The Duke’s mansion and General Mo’s loyalty will be remembered by me!” Huang Futian said earnestly, feeling grateful to the three present.
Later, they discussed matters concerning the court, standing on the same side of the battlefield.
Mo Yi also learned that privately, many courtiers who seemed to support the regent had actually switched sides and stood with the Emperor.
It had to be said that the young Emperor, despite his tender age, possessed his own intelligence and skill.
Later in the evening, Mo Yi parted ways with Madam Mo and returned to the mansion.
Along the way, Mo Yi’s mood was complicated. The political struggles in the court exhausted him, but he knew he had to do it for his deceased family and the soldiers on the border.
However, as he approached the courtyard, Mo Yi noticed a familiar figure not far away, standing in the corner, waiting for him.

He quickened his pace and approached, then spoke, “Miss Bai, what brings you here?”

Realizing that he hadn’t visited his beloved in the past few days due to the shock of learning his own real identity as the sole heir of Zhongyong Mansion, Mo Yi’s heart was in turmoil. He wanted to calm himself down.
Bai Ren didn’t actually need him to explain anything. Although in this era, there lacked a way to communicate conveniently, he had a system in his mind, and he could also extend his divine consciousness to gather information.
After observing for a while, he understood what his partner had learned and why he hadn’t visited him in the past few days.
But today, he came to check on his beloved because he missed him.
Seeing Mo Yi looking tired, Bai Ren felt extremely sorry for him, so he came out to comfort him.
“Alright, I know General Mo isn’t that kind of person,” Bai Ren spoke first, wanting to console Mo Yi.
“Brother Mo Yi seems troubled, would you like to talk to me about it?” Bai Ren gently coaxed, but Mo Yi felt that too much had happened recently, and it was too complicated to explain in just a few words.
Especially since it involved many secrets, it wasn’t convenient to reveal them to his beloved.
He didn’t want to deceive Bai Ren, but ultimately he could only say, “I’m sorry, Miss Bai, forgive me for not being able to tell you.”
Bai Ren didn’t dwell on his words, nodding in understanding, “General Mo serves the country and the people, some information cannot be casually shared with others, I understand. However, I can’t bear to see you in such distress all the time. In the future, I’ll come to accompany General Mo more often, alright?”
Hearing Bai Ren’s understanding, Mo Yi was naturally happy, feeling even more guilty for not being able to reveal his true identity to her.
Thinking that once everything settled, he would tell Bai Ren everything.
So the two made a promise to meet every day in the future, and under Bai Ren’s care, Mo Yi’s mood improved.
Meanwhile, Bai Ren also noticed that Madam Mo seemed to be investigating him. Although nothing had been found out yet, he needed to prepare Mo Yi mentally.
Thinking of this, Bai Ren suggested going out for another outing with Mo Yi.
Mo Yi agreed, but he didn’t expect that when he arrived at a certain corner at the agreed time that night, he would see a dashing young man dressed in white.
And when that young man turned around, it was the most familiar face to him.
“Miss, Bai?” Mo Yi called out uncertainly, only to see the other nodding with a smile.
“I thought it might be more convenient to go out dressed as a man,” Bai Ren said.
Mo Yi remembered their last encounter and thought Bai Ren’s idea made sense.
Especially, for some reason, Bai Ren in men’s clothing didn’t seem out of place at all, completely resembling a true man.
With every move, Bai Ren was elegant and bold, even more stunning than before in women’s clothing.
Bai Ren noticed Mo Yi staring at him and approached him with a teasing tone, “What’s wrong, Young General, mesmerized?”
The words of Bai Ren woke Mo Yi from his daze, and he couldn’t help but blush, feeling ashamed of his lack of composure in front of his beloved.
He stuttered, trying to explain himself, but he couldn’t seem to articulate his thoughts clearly.
Bai Ren smiled and didn’t tease him further, and the two of them went out for another outing, just like last time.
This time, there was no lantern festival, but the night market was still bustling. They could feel the increased patrols around, but nothing unpleasant happened.
They sampled various snacks and bought many interesting trinkets.
By the time they returned, it was already late at night.
Mo Yi escorted Bai Ren to the entrance of the courtyard, feeling reluctant to part with him. In the end, he couldn’t resist.
Even though he knew it was inappropriate, he leaned over and kissed Bai Ren on the cheek before intending to leave hastily. However, he was surprised when he grabbed his wrist.
Naturally, Bai Ren wasn’t about to let go of the opportunity for a sweet treat and decisively pulled him back, kissing him wholeheartedly.
It wasn’t until Mo Yi’s lips were swollen and his face was as red as a tomato that Bai Ren finally let him go, smiling and telling him to go rest.
Mo Yi stumbled back to his room in a daze and fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed.
However, that night, he dreamt of some strange scenes.
The next morning, he woke up suddenly, sitting up in bed with sweat on his forehead.
Furrowing his brow, Mo Yi felt that something was very wrong.
Because last night, he had dreamt of being with his beloved again, but this time, Bai Ren was dressed as a man.
Just like the previous dream, Bai Ren was passionate, and they shared passionate kisses.
But just as Mo Yi was lost in the moment, Bai Ren suddenly grabbed his hand, pulled it down, and then he felt…
His beloved actually told him that he was a man!
Not only that, but he also tried to undo Mo Yi’s clothes, wanting to consummate with him. The moment his belt was undone, Mo Yi woke up abruptly.
Feeling sticky all over, he couldn’t lie back down. He went to the bathroom and vigorously scrubbed his underwear, feeling that this dream was just too bizarre.
How could Miss Bai, who is clearly a woman, suddenly become a man?
However, as Mo Yi thought back to the times when they went out together and Bai Ren’s masculine appearance in the dream, a strong sense of palpitations surged within him.
Far from feeling any disgust, his ears were tinged with red.
Mo Yi touched his chest, feeling like his heart was beating faster and faster.
Meanwhile, as Mo Yi was washing his underwear, on the other side, Bai Ren also opened his eyes.
Staring at the ceiling, he recalled the sweet dream from last night and licked his lips. Just a little bit more, he almost tasted it.
It’s all because there are too many rules in this ancient world, making his darling so shy.
However, using divine consciousness to enter dreams turned out to be unexpectedly effective!
Bai Ren woke up in a pleasant mood, already planning to visit Mo Yi when he returned from court today.
With the dream from last night, seeing his darling’s reaction again would surely be interesting.
As Bai Ren was indulging in his thoughts, there was a knock on the door.
A somewhat aged voice came from outside, asking, “Miss, are you awake? I’m the maidservant by Madam Mo’s side, and I’d like to ask Miss to come over.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Ren paused in putting on his shoes and replied, “Please wait a moment, maidservant.”
After saying this, Bai Ren quickly tidied himself up and followed the maid outside.
On the way, Bai Ren had already guessed that Madam Mo’s reason for wanting to see him was definitely related to Mo Yi.
Who knows how much she found out.
Thinking that it wasn’t easy to infiltrate the regent’s mansion, the previous owner had made a lot of preparations. Madam Mo shouldn’t know his identity so easily.
But just as Bai Ren stepped into the room, suddenly, a dark shadow flew towards his cheek.
Bai Ren remained unmoved, but there was a ‘thud’ sound behind him. A small peanut had pierced through his hair and embedded itself deeply into the door frame behind him.
Madam Mo: Hey, daughter-in-law~
Thank you so very much for the chapter!!~♥️
Wtf KKKKKKKKKKKKKK This mother-in-law! Too amazing!!
