Female-dominated society: My husband is clingy and I can't shake him off

Chapter 206 Where did this come from?

Chu Xiaohuan merely gave Li Mo'er a light kiss on the corner of her lips, suppressing his most primal urges.

The next morning, Li Mo'er was awakened by the sound of her babbling. She opened her big eyes and looked at Li Mo'er.

He didn't cry or make a fuss when he woke up; he just stared at her quietly.

Chu Xiaohuan had already gotten up to help. He didn't wake Li Mo'er and Niannian, who were fast asleep, but he managed to sneak a little treat.

Li Mo'er rubbed her eyes, put on her clothes, and resignedly hugged Niannian in her arms.

Reception Room

Su Yanli was already sitting inside with Yunzhi in her arms. Today, Su Yanli specially dressed Yunzhi in the clothes that Li Moer had ordered for him a couple of days ago.

Wearing an adorable little tiger-head hat and a red cotton-padded jacket, these were clothes that Li Mo'er recalled from modern times and described having Shen Ziche help design them.

These little outfits make it easier for her to move around, and they make Yunzhi look even cuter.

There weren't many people in the reception room. Li Mo'er and Su Yanli had discussed it and decided that it would be best to have a family dinner.

However, in order to bring good fortune to Yunzhi, Li Mo'er decided to follow the example of the ancients and distribute porridge to the people of Luocheng on the day of their joy.

She specially arranged for a kitchen to provide them with extra money so they could all cook some porridge and distribute it in front of the Shen residence.

As noon approached, Li Mo'er laid out various things on the table, such as toys, an abacus, and gold ingots...

While Li Mo'er was hugging Yunzhi, Doctor Wang quietly moved to the table in the crowd.

Looking at the Book of Songs above, Doctor Wang frowned slightly. How could such a young child be bound by studying?

She felt that making children study at an age when they love to play would stifle their natural instincts.

So he quietly put the Book of Songs into his bosom, and then, while everyone's eyes were on Yunzhi, he took out a herbal medicine book from his bosom and placed it on the table.

Yunzhi looked around excitedly at the large crowd, glancing left and right.

After Li Mo'er placed him on the table, Yunzhi remained seated, tilting his head back and curiously staring at the people around him.

Yunzhi's gaze only fell on the table when Li Mo'er patted it.

He turned his head, glancing over the items one by one, his gaze settling on the abacus not far away.

He had seen that thing in his mother's study, but his mother wouldn't let him touch it. He crawled over, touched the abacus, and started playing with it.

Outside, Shen San was still arranging for the people to line up, making them stand in a proper queue one by one.

"Everyone gets their turn, so please don't push."

There seemed to be one person in the crowd who didn't quite fit in; he stood alone to one side.

His clothes were somewhat tattered. When Shen San saw this, he assumed that he didn't have a bowl, so he kindly went to the kitchen and got him one.

The moment Shen San opened the door, the man's eyes instantly turned sharp.

He stared intently at the person in the very center of the crowd in the courtyard—wasn't that the person he had been searching for for so long?

Shen San returned with the bowl and saw that the man's gaze was sinister. However, when he tried to look more closely, he found that the man's gaze was dull, just like when he had just seen him.

Shen San served him a bowl of porridge, led him to the corner of the wall, and let him sit there and drink.

The man glanced at Shen San, then deliberately pretended to have dropped the bowl, which Shen San caught steadily just as it was about to fall to the ground.

"Thankfully, the porridge didn't spill."

Shen San felt a deep sympathy for him. The British were living in such dire straits that they had been reduced to begging in their country.

The man kept his head bowed low, his ears filled with the gratitude of others towards their host family, but his eyes remained unmoved.

As I calmly sipped my porridge, countless plans flashed through my mind.

However, he had just tested the servant's skills, and they were not simple.

If everyone in the courtyard had skills like that, he probably wouldn't be able to get in, let alone make a move.

But he wasn't about to give up. He circled the Shen residence and found the lowest wall.

Looking closely, he realized that climbing up would be somewhat strenuous, but he had nothing left to lose, so he was fearless.

Listening to the lively voices inside, I thought that if I were promoted, my place would be just as lively.

Thinking of this, Lucifer's hatred intensified.

"Where did this come from?"

Li Mo'er stared in disbelief at the herbal medicine book that Yunzhi was holding; it looked somewhat familiar.

But it definitely couldn't have been her who put it there; the herbal medicine book was already peeling at the edges and looked old.

"Yunzhi, let your mother take a look."

Unexpectedly, Yunzhi held it tightly in his arms and refused to let go.

Li Mo'er saw Yunzhi holding the folded page.

That looks familiar, isn't that pinyin?

This was her herbal medicine book. Li Mo'er's gaze fell on Doctor Wang, who was looking down at his fingernails, as if it had nothing to do with her.
