Chapter 1155: Chapter 1160 Adorable Xiang Yun (5)

Thinking back on the joke she had just heard, Xiang Yun could not help but giggle again, and recounted the same joke.

One winter, it snowed continuously for half a month, changing the colors of heaven and earth, with the sun and moon losing their light.

While poor households found themselves in abject misery, the wealthy landlords drank every morning and sang every night, living a life of luxury and abundance.

One day, the county official invited a wealthy elder and a scholar from the county to the county government office for a drink. After three rounds of wine and the serving of a variety of dishes, the county official, filled with poetic inspiration, suggested they go to the back garden to admire the snow and compose poetry.

Thus, the three of them arrived at the garden, only to see white snow everywhere, as though clad in garment of powder.

The county official said, "The three of us, let us take the auspicious snow as our theme and each compose a poem, shall we?"

The scholar replied, "Very good, very good! Then allow me to go first," and then, shaking his head and swaying, chanted, "The great snow is white as jade."

The county official followed up, saying, "It’s an auspicious sign from the royal family."

Upon hearing this, the wealthy elder repeatedly exclaimed in approval and arrogantly said, "May it continue for two or three more years."

At that moment, a beggar outside the wall was shivering in the cold. Upon hearing them, he couldn’t contain his rage and climbed up the wall scolding, "Cut the crap!"

After finishing the story, Xiang Yun again burst into laughter, hitting the table, while Mo Zili’s mouth twitched, looking at her doubled over with laughter and speechless for a while.

This woman...

Xiang Yun had been laughing for quite some time without hearing a response from the other party when she suddenly remembered her audience was Mo Zili, a man who was serious and straight-laced, and with whom she would soon part ways. It seemed somewhat inappropriate to be laughing and joking with him like this.

Ah, regret washed over Xiang Yun, all because Cai Wei wrote the book so interestingly that she had lost herself!

Seeing her laughing so joyously and then suddenly ceasing with a look of regret on her face, Mo Zili knew it all too well.

He said, "Besides the joke, didn’t you mention something about a riddle? Tell one to alleviate the boredom!"

Xiang Yun hesitated for a while, and seeing that Mo Zili did not blink and had no intention of dismissing the idea, she reluctantly lowered her head, flipped through the book, and said, "There was a farmer’s wife crossing a narrow single log bridge, and just as she was halfway across, a tiger suddenly appeared in front of her. She was so frightened that she turned to run but found a pack of wolves coming up behind her. Both the wolves and the tiger closed in on her and she had no way to escape, but she got across just like that. Why is that?"

After thinking for a moment, Mo Zili said, "Could it be that this farmer’s wife is a dependable outsider capable of walking in mid-air?"

"Wrong, she’s just an ordinary farmer’s wife!"

"Maybe she’s able to swim and jumped into the water to escape?"

"No, she doesn’t know how to," Xiang Yun denied.

Not this, not that, Mo Zili was stuck.

With his handsome eyebrows tightly knitted, he thought hard for a long while, then suddenly laughed and said, "I’ve got it, it must be that the pack of wolves fought with the tiger and neglected the farmer’s wife, giving her a chance to escape!"

Rolling her eyes, Xiang Yun said, "Young Master, do you think this happened on a flat road? Don’t forget, this event occurred on a narrow single log bridge. Where do you suppose she could run to? What’s more, have you ever seen wolves daring enough to fight a tiger?"

With all his guesses rejected, Mo Zili frustratedly said, "If it’s neither this nor that, then you tell me, how did the farmer’s wife get across?"

Xiang Yun chuckled smugly and said nonchalantly, "She passed out, hehehe..."

A vertical line appeared on Mo Zili’s forehead. That works too?

As Old Madame, Madam, and Second Lady approached to check on Mo Zili, they suddenly stopped in the courtyard upon hearing Xiang Yun’s triumphant laughter from the room. They whispered to the two daughters-in-law, "Let’s go back. Hearing the young couple laughing and talking, we shouldn’t go in and become a nuisance. We’ll come back tonight!"

Lady Bai was also delighted to hear the sounds from the room.

She had long noticed the issues between her son and daughter-in-law and had secretly sent someone to find out the reason. She hadn’t intervened because she knew her son’s temperament was just like that of the Mo family’s younger generation: stubborn and dogmatic. If pushed too far, he might abandon the family clan, run away with that woman. Therefore, she could only worry and secretly placed her hopes on her daughter-in-law, hoping she could stand up for herself and win her son’s heart back, and not let her son be further enchanted by the Little Fairy of the Du Family...
