The Doctor's Three-Time Marriage

Chapter 508: 508. Mo Yan’s Death

Yan Shiba and Sheng Yue entered a bizarre way of getting along: compared to the warmth and harmony among other people in the mansion, these two acted like enemies during the day but slept in the same bed at night.

Yan Shiba’s mouth still showed no mercy, calling Sheng Yue a cheap person with great enthusiasm. Occasionally, Sheng Yue would save face for Yan Shiba and say something nice, but only when it was his turn to speak in front of everyone. At other times, he didn’t show any initiative to please her. If Yan Shiba didn’t look for him, he wouldn’t look for her either.

Zhengzheng was a bit worried, “Aunt Yan said she wants to have brothers and sisters for us, but if they still act like this after having a child, what will we do?”

Ji Xiaoshu chuckled, “Big brother, you’re overthinking it. Don’t you see that Aunt Yan and Uncle Sheng’s relationship is improving?”

Zhengzheng shook his head, “I really don’t see it. At lunch today, they sat together but didn’t say a word to each other. They didn’t even serve each other food like they never existed for one another.”

“They do communicate, big brother, you just didn’t notice.” Ji Xiaoshu said mysteriously, “Aunt Yan secretly kicked Uncle Sheng several times under the table. One of them even hit me, but I didn’t make a fuss.”

Zhengzheng was stunned, “Why?”

Ji Xiaoshu analyzed, “I guess Aunt Yan is setting a trap for Uncle Sheng. If he retaliates or says anything, Aunt Yan will definitely deny it, since no one saw their actions under the table. Uncle Sheng is very enduring and knows that it’s not in his favor, so he just pretends nothing happened.”

“Alright.” Zhengzheng held his forehead, “My mom is right, let them do whatever they want.”

During their conversation, the two entered Su Liang’s room to ask her something.

“Mom, Mo Yan is still alive, how should we deal with him now?” Ji Xiaoshu asked. The news about Sheng Yue and Yan Shiba had distracted them from Mo Yan for the past few days.

“How are his injuries?” Su Liang asked with a smile.

“Last time we saw him, his wounds were healing.” Zhengzheng said. He and Ji Xiaoshu had practiced medical skills on Mo Yan, so they had treated him with care.

“As for what to do with Mo Yan, you should ask Sheng Yue and Yan Shiba, let them decide.” Su Liang said.

Ji Xiaoshu shook his head, “Mom, I think it’s tough for Uncle Sheng and Aunt Yan to reach a consensus.”

“You won’t know unless you ask; there’s always a chance.” Zhengzheng said as he hugged little Gu Xiaonuan who ran over, “Let’s take our little sister to ask!”

Zhengzheng carried Gu Xiaonuan on his back, with Ji Xiaoshu hopping and jumping by his side. The three of them went to find Sheng Yue, who was alone by the lake fishing.

Hearing the children calling him, Sheng Yue put down his fishing rod, took off his straw hat, and walked over.

“What’s up?” Sheng Yue reached out and held Gu Xiaonuan in his arms.

The next moment, Gu Xiaonuan suddenly pulled out a wooden flower in her hand, which was carved and painted by Gu Ling, and handed it to Sheng Yue.

A warm smile appeared in Sheng Yue’s eyes, but he didn’t accept it and just said with a smile, “It looks great, Nuannuan should keep it for herself.”

Gu Xiaonuan then put the wooden flower on Sheng Yue’s head. Sheng Yue couldn’t see what he looked like, but he could imagine it, as Zhengzheng and Ji Xiaoshu were both doubled over in laughter.

“Little sister has great taste, the flower really suits Uncle Sheng!” Ji Xiaoshu said earnestly.

Sheng Yue: If Ji Xiaoshu hadn’t laughed so exaggeratedly while hugging Zhengzheng after saying that, he would have believed it.

As for what they wanted to talk about, Zhengzheng only said that he would tell them after seeing Yan Shiba. So Sheng Yue didn’t ask any further.

By the time they found Yan Shiba, she was sitting by the window with a book in her hands, reading intently.

“Aunt Yan is actually reading a book, the sun must be rising in the west!” Ji Xiaoshu tiptoed over to see what Yan Shiba was reading.

Before he could get closer, Sheng Yue suddenly spoke, “Yan Shiba.”

As if startled, Yan Shiba immediately jumped up from her chair, closed the book, and hid it behind her back. Facing Ji Xiaoshu’s curious smile, Yan Shiba quickly tore the book to pieces behind her back.

“What were you reading, Aunt Yan? You seemed so engrossed in it.” Ji Xiaoshu nimbly jumped on the window sill, tilted his head, and asked.

Yan Shiba shook her head, “Nothing, just a random book.” She then glared at Sheng Yue fiercely, “What are you doing here?” Before noticing the bright flower on Sheng Yue’s head and bursting out in laughter, “Hahaha! So ugly! It suits you perfectly!”

“Aunt Yan!” Gu Xiaonuan waved at Yan Shiba from Sheng Yue’s arms.

Yan Shiba walked out with a beaming smile and took Gu Xiaonuan from Sheng Yue, “Did my little Nuannuan miss her aunt?”

After Yan Shiba left, Ji Xiaoshu saw the bits of torn paper on the ground and didn’t pick them up. Instead, he said with sudden realization, “I know what Aunt Yan was reading!”

Yan Shiba’s face stiffened, and she secretly kicked Sheng Yue’s leg.

Sheng Yue stood there indifferently. He knew, but he didn’t think Ji Xiaoshu could know or guess. Although Ji Xiaoshu and Zhengzheng were both extremely intelligent, Gu Ling and Su Liang protected them well and wouldn’t let them be exposed to inappropriate things too early.

Ji Xiaoshu smirked, “Is it a romance book? Uncle Sheng was secretly reading one too and we caught him. The book he was reading is called ‘Cherish the Flower’, what is the book you read called, Aunt Yan?”

Yan Shiba sighed in relief and blurted out a random title, “The one I’m reading is called ‘Weeding’.”

Zhengzheng: …As if I would believe that.

However, Ji Xiaoshu did not delve further into the ridiculousness of the title. Instead, he suggested excitedly, “Since you both like to sneakily read romance books, why argue? There must be no arguing in the books! You should just follow the books and talk about love!”

Yan Shiba shook her head, “We can’t talk like that because we’re not reading the same story.”

“You can choose a story and read it together.” Ji Xiaoshu thought his suggestion was great. He had unintentionally overheard his master and his master’s wife role-playing, and it seemed very interesting.

“Or…” Ji Xiaoshu’s eyes lit up as he jumped down from the windowsill, “I’ve got it! You don’t have to read the romance books, you can just act out the stories from the other people in the mansion! Uncle Sheng, you can pretend to be my master, and Aunt Yan, you can pretend to be my mistress. Then you can look at each other, and things will be very different, right?”

After hearing Ji Xiaoshu’s bizarre suggestion, Sheng Yue and Yan Shiba glanced at each other instinctively.

Yan Shiba contemptuously looked away, “He’s much uglier than your master.”

Sheng Yue’s expression was indifferent, “Likewise.”

Zhengzheng stopped Ji Xiaoshu from making any more suggestions, “Don’t talk about this anymore. We came here for another reason.” What was Ji Xiaoshu thinking with all these random ideas? If his master heard him, he would be punished again.

“What reason?” Yan Shiba asked, shaking Gu Xiaonuan’s little hand.

“Oh, right, almost forgot. My mistress said that you need to decide how to deal with Mo Yan.”, said Ji Xiaoshu.

Sheng Yue and Yan Shiba exchanged glances once more.

Yan Shiba snorted lightly, “Starve him to death, I’m too lazy to deal with him any further!”

Sheng Yue shook his head, “Better to finish him off sooner, rather than waste food on him. The mansion will soon host happy events, and we don’t want someone like him to bring bad luck.”

Qiao Jing and Min Rou, as well as Nangong Qian and Qi Yan, were all about to get married. Although the ceremonies would not be held in the Su Mansion, Nangong Qian would be leaving the Su Mansion to get married.

“Whose decision will you follow?” Yan Shiba looked at the two children and asked.

Zhengzheng shook his head, “We can’t kill people. We’re just kids. Aunt Yan and Uncle Sheng need to discuss and come up with a decision. We’re just here to ask.”

Yan Shiba asked Gu Xiaonuan once more, “Nuannuan, do you like your aunt or that bastard over there?”

Gu Xiaonuan looked at the flower on Sheng Yue’s head and happily made a flower identical to it — a wooden carving made by Gu Ling, a wooden vase with a large bouquet of flowers, all of which Gu Xiaonuan had collected in her space.

Seeing Gu Xiaonuan about to put the flower on her head, Yan Shiba indulgently let her play with it.

Thus, both Sheng Yue and Yan Shiba ended up with a bright, beautiful flower in their hair.

It actually looked pretty good, but on Sheng Yue’s head, it clashed with his disposition and seemed a bit ridiculous. On Yan Shiba’s head, it looked perfectly natural. When she smiled, she radiated charm.

Sheng Yue’s eyes flickered slightly as he heard Zhengzheng laugh, “Uncle Sheng and Aunt Yan look more and more perfect for each other! Little sister thinks so too, right?”

Gu Xiaonuan clapped her little hands, admiring her “masterpiece” with a beaming smile, “Right!”

It must be said that with Gu Xiaonuan around, both Sheng Yue and Yan Shiba unconsciously softened their words. Seeing Gu Xiaonuan happy, they joined in the laughter, and the atmosphere suddenly became very harmonious.

“In consideration of Nuannuan, I won’t argue with you this time.” Yan Shiba said with a smile, “If you want to send Mo Yan on his way, go ahead, I’m too busy!”

Sheng Yue looked at Zhengzheng and Ji Xiaoshu, “Are you going or not?”

Ji Xiaoshu was a bit tempted, but Zhengzheng refused. Knowing that Mo Yan would die and thinking he deserved it was different from watching him being killed.

“Alright, we won’t go. Let’s go back and tell our master.” Ji Xiaoshu was just a little curious about what Sheng Yue was going to do, not really interested in killing people.

Seeing Zhengzheng and Ji Xiaoshu leave, Gu Xiaonuan called for her brother to go with them.

So, after the three children left together, Sheng Yue headed towards the dungeon, and Yan Shiba casually followed.

Seeing Sheng Yue look back, Yan Shiba snorted and walked up to him, “Don’t flatter yourself, I just want to watch the excitement, and I have nothing better to do.”

“Your flower looks nice,” Sheng Yue said with sincerity.

Yan Shiba lifted her chin, “That’s because I, this old mother, was born with good looks! Not like you, who wasted such a beautiful flower!”

“Then why do you still sleep with me?” Sheng Yue asked back.

Yan Shiba glared at him, “Enough!”

Sheng Yue asked back, “Are you willing to let go?”

Yan Shiba pounced on Sheng Yue’s back and started twisting his ear.

Not far away, Peng Wu and Feng Ming just arrived with the three children and were startled by this passionate scene.

Ale asked curiously, “Are Auntie Yan and Uncle Sheng fighting?”

Peng Wu and Feng Ming hurriedly led the children away in silence.

Yan Shiba rode on Sheng Yue’s back, and they went into the dungeon together. When they reached Mo Yan, she was still holding onto Sheng Yue’s ear.

But the dungeon was dark, and from Mo Yan’s angle, it seemed like Sheng Yue was carrying Yan Shiba, their faces close together, intimate.

“You guys…” Mo Yan was very surprised. Sheng Yue and Yan Shiba were people who barely knew each other in his eyes. How could they be together?

Seeing Mo Yan’s incredulous look, Yan Shiba instantly became energized, gave Sheng Yue’s cheek a loud kiss, and said, “What are you looking at? We’re getting married! Haven’t you seen a kiss before!”

Mo Yan frowned, “Yue’er, how could you fancy this kind of woman?”

Yan Shiba was suddenly furious, “What kind of woman? What’s wrong with me? Tell me, Sheng Yue!”

With one hand, Sheng Yue steadily carried Yan Shiba without putting her down, and seeing Mo Yan’s reaction, he calmly said, “Or do you think I’m hooking up with Yan Shiba to gain the trust of Gu Ling and Su Liang?”

Hearing this, Yan Shiba squinted her eyes. She hadn’t even thought of this possibility…

Mo Yan scoffed, “Isn’t that the case? Otherwise, with your character and taste, how could you be with such a vulgar woman like her?”

Yan Shiba couldn’t help but want to beat Mo Yan up when she heard this. However, she heard Sheng Yue’s voice in her ear, “At this point, do you still think you understand me? I just love vulgar women. As for you, the woman you’ve been pining for all your life might not be suitable for you. You always love to talk about fate, but fate has given you the answer.”

Mo Yan’s face darkened, “Yan Shiba, you don’t really believe Sheng Yue would like you, do you? He is just deceiving you! Using you!”

Yan Shiba hooked her arm around Sheng Yue’s neck, giggling, “No choice, I just like him like this. It’d be better if he really deceives me, otherwise it would be no fun. Little Yuexue, are you lying to me?”

“I enjoy sleeping with you, that’s true.” Sheng Yue said calmly. As for anything about liking or loving, he never said it, so where does the deception come from?

Yan Shiba burst out laughing upon hearing this, “The feeling is mutual!”

Mo Yan was stupefied by their conversation for a moment, and then said through gritted teeth, “You came here just to let me hear this shameless talk?”

“Who are you cursing?” Yan Shiba snorted, “Little Yuexue, I suddenly have a great idea. Since no one can beat Mo Yan in shamelessness, let’s just fulfill his wish and tear off his face! Aren’t you best at cutting faces while making sure they stay alive? We’ll remove his skin, whole and intact, so he can have a good look at it himself!”

Sheng Yue nodded slightly, “Good idea.”

Yan Shiba slid off Sheng Yue and ran outside, “Wait! I’ll go ask Gu Xiaoling to borrow his carving knife!”

Yan Shiba hurried to Yuanming Pavilion, grabbed Gu Ling’s knife, and ran back. When she entered the dungeon again, she called out to Sheng Yue sweetly, “Little Yueyue, I’m back!”

During this time, Mo Yan had been talking nonsense to Sheng Yue, but Sheng Yue ignored him, just sitting cross-legged on the ground, standing up only when he heard Yan Shiba’s voice.

“Knife!” Yan Shiba handed the knife to Sheng Yue, excitement flickering in her eyes, “Let’s start!”

Sheng Yue’s face was still calm, “You be my assistant.”

Yan Shiba nodded repeatedly, “No problem!”

Sheng Yue picked out a shiny sharp knife from Gu Ling’s set of carving tools, looked at it carefully in front of him, the blade casting a shadow on his face. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips, sinister and compelling.

Yan Shiba’s eyes were wide open, and since they were performing in front of Mo Yan, she didn’t have to pretend. She leaned in and kissed Sheng Yue again, “Little Yueyue, you’re quite good-looking!”

Sheng Yue pursed his lips and kissed her back.

Seeing the knives, Mo Yan had turned pale and knew he couldn’t reverse the situation. The fear of death made him tremble, but Sheng Yue and Yan Shiba had started kissing with the knives, seemingly enjoying themselves, even embracing…

“Let’s do the task first,” Sheng Yue disengaged himself from Yan Shiba, “We can talk about the rest later.”

Yan Shiba’s face flushed, she hummed in agreement, feeling something amiss in her voice, she cleared her throat and looked at Mo Yan, “Let’s start!”

When Yan Shiba and Sheng Yue reappeared in front of everyone, it was dinnertime. They had changed their clothes, looked in a good mood, and their complexions were excellent.

Especially Yan Shiba, who entered the room with a smile on her face as she held Sheng Yue’s arm, making everyone feel incredulous.

They still wore the flowers Gu Xiaonuan had given them on their heads, and they seemed like a perfect match. Like the two brightly colored flowers, Sheng Yue and Yan Shiba’s temperament together was unrestrained and bold.

“Aunt Yan, you guys…” Ji Xiaoshu was amazed, “What happened?”

Yan Shiba let go of Sheng Yue, reached out, and mussed Ji Xiaoshu’s hair, “Nothing happened, don’t meddle in the affairs of adults! By the way, I’ve got a trivial matter to announce: Mo Yan has gone to meet the Yama King. If anyone is interested in knowing how he died, feel free to ask me later. I won’t say it now, so it won’t affect everyone’s appetite and frighten the children.”

However, at the dinner table, everyone clearly felt that Yan Shiba’s attitude towards Sheng Yue had changed. They used to really have a distance between them, but now they seemed to be deliberately maintaining distance. And when their eyes met occasionally, sparks flew.

After dinner, Yan Shiba couldn’t help confiding in Su Liang, “Today when I watched him cut off Mo Yan’s face, I suddenly felt he was so handsome, especially when playing with the knife. My heart was beating so fast, I almost couldn’t help but pounce on him!”

Su Liang teased, “Didn’t you pounce on him later?”

Yan Shiba coughed lightly, “Later… of course… it’s a pity he’s missing a hand, all thanks to your man, who was too ruthless!”

Su Liang was speechless, “Why don’t you cut off a hand too, then you’ll be even more compatible.”

Yan Shiba chuckled, “Just kidding, actually his half arm is… ”

Su Liang touched her forehead, “Shut up, go away. I don’t want to hear about your peculiar tastes.”

“You’ve been there too, what’s there to be shy about? I’ll go talk to Little Ranran!” Yan Shiba disappeared as soon as her words fell.

That night, before going to sleep, Su Liang mentioned Yan Shiba again, “She and Sheng Yue are really passionate now.”

Gu Ling suddenly frowned, “Do you think our relationship is too bland?”

Su Liang immediately shook her head, “No, Great God, don’t think too much, we are so sweet, not bland at all.”

Gu Ling got up, holding the sleeping Gu Xiaonuan, and took him to the room of Zhengzheng and Ji Xiaoshu next door…
