Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

Qin Ruxue stared intently into Liu Yiyi's eyes.

She wanted to find even the slightest flaw in those deep, unfathomable eyes.

But no.

Liu Yiyi's eyes were calm and clear, carrying just the right amount of concern and doubt, perfectly flawless.

Qin Ruxue's rationality told her that it didn't seem like someone was hiding here.

But it's a woman's intuition.

But something still felt off to her.

"You really didn't see it?"

Qin Ruxue asked again, unwilling to give up.

Liu Yiyi smiled helplessly, stepped aside, and made a "please" gesture.

"If Second Sister doesn't believe me, she's welcome to come in and search."

"I only have this small place; it's obvious at a glance whether I can hide someone here."

Her open and honest demeanor actually lessened Qin Ruxue's suspicions even more.

Yes, Third Sister has always been a peace-loving person, how could she help that bastard lie?

You're definitely overthinking it!

"No need."

Qin Ruxue waved her hand irritably, turned around and left, not forgetting to throw out a harsh remark before she left.

"Hmph! He better not let me catch him!"

"Otherwise, I'll definitely hang him on the flagpole in the drill ground and let him air dry for three days!"

Hearing the receding footsteps, Lin Mo, inside the wardrobe, let out a long sigh of relief.

Liu Yiyi waited for a while, and only after confirming that Qin Ruxue had really left did she walk to the wardrobe and gently knock on the door.

"Come out, let's go."

The cabinet door creaked open, and Lin Mo emerged from inside, covered in dust and dirt.

Because he had been squatting inside for a long time, he was a little unsteady when he came out.

My head swayed, and I felt as if something light and soft was hanging on my head.

He instinctively reached out and grabbed it, taking it off his head.

That was a... bellyband.

A light purple bib woven from ice silkworm silk.

The material is light and thin, almost translucent under light, and is embroidered with two butterflies fluttering in silver thread, with exquisite craftsmanship.

Upon touching it, it feels smooth and cool to the touch, incredibly soft.

The most captivating thing is that a faint, lingering fragrance remains on it, a refreshing and unique orchid scent that belongs only to Liu Yiyi.

Lin Mo was stunned.

The air froze in that instant.

Liu Yiyi's pretty face, which had been smiling, suddenly turned red.

That blush spread from her snow-white cheeks all the way down to her delicate collarbone, and then further down...

"what!"

She let out a short scream and rushed forward.

She snatched the intimate garment from Lin Mo's hand, shoved it haphazardly into the wardrobe, and slammed the door shut.

after awhile.

Liu Yiyi turned around, the blush on her face still lingering, but her eyes had regained their composure.

"My second sister has already passed away."

"Now, Uncle, can you tell me what kind of 'dance' could make my fearless second sister so angry that she wanted to draw her sword and kill her husband?"

Liu Yiyi's eyes were filled with pure gossip and curiosity.

"Cough! Cough cough!"

Even Lin Mo, whose skin was as thick as a city wall, couldn't hold back any longer. His face flushed red, and his eyes darted around.

How so?

He claimed that he had tricked and deceived your second sister into dressing up as a dancer and performing a erotic dance for him.

If I were to say those words out loud...

He had no doubt that Liu Yiyi's gaze towards him would instantly change from "an interesting little man" to "a shameless lecher."

"Well... that's a long story."

Lin Mo gave vague answers, attempting to evade the question.

"Is that so?"

Liu Yiyi's eyes sparkled as she stepped forward, the delicate fragrance of orchids growing even stronger.

She tilted her head slightly, her beautiful peach blossom eyes curving into crescent moons.

How long is the story?

"Is it a longer story than the things in my closet?"

"puff--"

Lin Mo almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

What the hell!

Is the car going that fast?!

Is this Third Sister-in-law or a little vixen?!

Seeing Lin Mo's embarrassed look, Liu Yiyi burst out laughing.

That smile was like a spring breeze caressing the willows, a hundred flowers blooming, and the air in the whole room became sweeter.

Surprisingly, this small man, who didn't even blink when beating up the bully, actually blushed.

That's so much fun.

"Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore."

Liu Yiyi waved her hand, but the smile in her eyes deepened.

She knew exactly what was going on; if she didn't want to say it, so be it—she had plenty of ways to find out anyway.

Why not invite my second sister over another day, and just ask her a few questions to find out the truth?

With this thought in mind, Liu Yiyi ignored Lin Mo and turned back to her desk, sitting down again.

Her slender fingers picked up a roll of account books, and she regained her serene and tranquil demeanor.

It was as if the curious child from just now wasn't her at all.

Seeing this, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

Oh my god!

We finally managed to fool them.

Liu Yiyi ignored him and didn't chase him away, so this Liu Xuan was now the perfect refuge.

Qin Ruxue had just searched the area, and according to normal human logic, this should be the safest place.

It's darkest under the lamp!

He's made up his mind; he's going to stay here and not leave today.

With a renewed sense of security, Lin Mo's mind began to wander.

He started wandering around Liu Yiyi's room aimlessly, ostensibly to "familiarize himself with the surroundings."

In reality, his eyes would always involuntarily drift toward the beautiful figure behind the desk.

Liu Yiyi is so quiet.

She simply sat there calmly, her slender waist ramrod straight, her eyes lowered, her delicate hand holding a pen, marking something on a scroll.

Her focused expression seemed to envelop her in a halo of holiness.

Yet, she was also alluring to the core.

With just a simple act of picking up a pen, a slight turn of her fair wrist, she exudes boundless charm.

Even a slight furrow of her brow and her slightly pursed red lips exude a heart-stirring, itch-like excitement.

Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh inwardly; this was a kind of poison that could drive men crazy without any extra words or actions.

He finally understood.

Why does Liu Yiyi always wrap herself up tightly when she goes out, even wearing a veil?

Such beauty and allure, if exposed to the public without any cover, would be nothing short of a walking femme fatale.

For her, this extreme beauty might truly be a curse.

Only in this small courtyard that belongs to her can she let down her guard and dress more casually.

Lin Mo's mind was wandering, and he unconsciously moved closer to the desk.

"Third Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?"

He leaned over with a grin.

Liu Yiyi didn't look up, but simply uttered two words.

"Account book".

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's attention shifted from the beauty to the papers.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

This is no simple ledger.

On the desk lay a huge map of Blackwind City, covered with densely packed symbols and lines marked with different colors of cinnabar.

The locations of major shops, granaries, and brokerage firms within the city.

Several trade routes leading to the outside world outside the city, and even the mineral resources that might exist in the mountains, were all marked clearly.

The scattered papers nearby were filled with various business ideas.

Lin Mo picked up a few papers at random and looked at them, becoming more and more alarmed as he looked.

The analysis inside is clear, logical, and even takes into account various underhanded tactics such as collusion between officials and businessmen and having influence in both the legal and illegal worlds.

Holy crap...

This is hardly the delicate and pampered third sister-in-law I'm talking about...

With that kind of brain, it's a waste that she's not a CFO.

No, even being a CFO would be a waste of her talent; she's definitely a model of a business queen!
