Harem Daily Life

Chapter 1042 Who is setting this up?

He Yinuo eventually managed to appease them, and the group walked for about half an hour before spending the night in a small town. The scouts had already booked the best inn in town, and as soon as the group arrived, food was served.

When they were out and about, He Linzhang and his family were not picky. Their children were easy to take care of and never complained about the food being unrefined. On the contrary, they were secretly excited and wanted to try everything.

Because this town is located between two larger cities, it's a popular resting place for merchants traveling north and south who don't want to travel overnight, so it's not exactly deserted. Even after nightfall, there are still pedestrians on the streets, and some people keep their businesses running late into the night. The inns are built right on the street, so it's impossible to sleep in complete peace and quiet at night.

He Linzhang, holding Tao Yanyan, had no intention of sleeping at all. He tossed and turned, and Tao Yanyan, afraid of the poor soundproofing, dared not make a sound, only whimpering and sobbing, sounding very suppressed. But the more she did this, the more irresistible He Linzhang became, always wanting to tease her.

After finally getting a rest, Tao Yanyan was so tired that she fell asleep immediately, her body being personally washed by He Linzhang.

The next day, the Emperor and Empress got up a little late. The Empress Dowager and Mu Yu had already taken the children on a tour of the town and devoured all kinds of roadside breakfasts. He Yinuo opened up a whole new world of food and praised all kinds of snacks that looked not very refined but were mouthwatering.

The palace maid who was following her quickly memorized the recipe for the snack, so that she could make it for her mistress when she returned to the palace in the future, so that she could savor the taste again.

Tao Yan was too tired to go out, so the Emperor and Empress ate their breakfast at the inn, each ordering a bowl of plain noodles, which was simple and light. Just as they finished their noodles, a group of people arrived at the shop entrance. The leader was fat and had big ears, and the shopkeeper hurriedly ran out to stop them.

"Li Mo, we have distinguished guests inside today. Don't cause trouble, hurry up and leave!"

The fat, big-eared man shoved the shopkeeper aside and was stopped at the door by Ying San and his companions.

"Why are you so afraid of me? I heard a pretty woman came to town, so I came to take a look. I wonder if she's prettier than my wife? I'll leave after I've seen her."

Ying San narrowed his eyes: "How dare you look at my wife? Get lost, or you'll force us to take action."

Before leaving, His Majesty instructed that unless there was danger, one should not easily harm the common people, nor reveal one's martial arts skills. Therefore, Shadow Three was still relatively polite at this time, and did not kick the person away directly, but only gave a verbal warning.

Li Mo flicked his sleeve: "How stingy! I have a beautiful wife at home, a beauty recognized by everyone in the surrounding villages. What's wrong with me coming to see her and compare? Humph, you won't let me see her? I'll see anyway! I want to see if there's anyone in this world more beautiful than my wife!"

Ying San stepped forward, drew his sword, and pressed it against Li Mo's chest. Li Mo was startled and trembled as he took half a step back.

The commotion was heard by the emperor and empress inside, and the two got up and went outside.

Seeing a crowd gathered at the door, He Linzhang stepped forward unhappily: "What's all the noise about so early in the morning?"

When everyone saw the handsome and extraordinary man standing before them, they instantly held their breath. Li Mo also widened his eyes and swallowed hard.

Then, seeing the celestial beauty emerge from behind the man, everyone's breathing quickened.

Someone muttered, "Li Mo, why...why did your wife change her clothes?"

Li Mo, whose name was mentioned, rubbed his eyes with his fat hand, and after confirming that the person in front of him was older than his wife, he said, "No...no, not my wife, but she looks too much like her!"

Good heavens! Is there really someone in the world who looks so much like Li Mo's wife? Is this really not a dream? He pinched his thigh hard: "May I ask, Madam, do you have any sisters?"

He Linzhang stepped in front of Tao Yanyan to block her: "How dare you! Who gave you the audacity to speak to my wife and look directly at her face?"

He Linzhang was furious. He should have put a veil on Yan Yan. It was disgusting to be looked at by the covetous eyes of such a vulgar person.

Tao Yanyan was rather curious: "What did you ask me? Did you ask if I have any sisters? Have you ever met someone who looks like me?"

Li Mo, who had been scolded by He Linzhang and was so timid that he almost knelt down, nodded vigorously when he heard the beautiful woman speaking to him: "Yes, yes, my new wife and my wife are exactly like two peas in a pod. It's just that she is younger than you, which is why I asked you if you have any younger sisters who are living away from home?"

People around started gossiping: "I went to the wedding banquet, and the bride of the Li family does look a lot like the lady in front of us."

"But that girl is a wanderer who has come here. How could she have such a demeanor as the lady? People may look alike, but they are not comparable."

“The Li family lives not far away. Why not just call them over? What if they really are sisters? One was raised in a high-class family and married a rich man, while the other was left to wander and was married by Li Mo.”

"With your imagination, it's a waste if you don't go into writing storybooks..."

Tao Yanyan and He Linzhang exchanged a glance. Could there really be such a coincidence? They had just passed by when someone who looked just like Tao Yanyan appeared?

It seems someone is up to no good, with ulterior motives.

He Linzhang gave Ying San a look, and Ying San grabbed Li Mo: "Come on, I'll go with you to invite your wife."

The common people loved a good show, and no one wanted to leave. It took the Empress Dowager and her entourage a great deal of effort to break through the encirclement and enter the inn when they returned. Upon hearing that a girl who looked very much like Tao Yanyan had appeared in town, the Empress Dowager raised an eyebrow: "Interesting."

It's been so many years since I've seen such a blatant attempt to stuff people into a hole. Who's behind this?

The Empress Dowager glanced at her son with interest. Hmm, although he was middle-aged, he was still handsome and beautiful. No wonder some people were still persistent.

When the servants brought it, the Empress Dowager only glanced at it before sitting up straight.

Mu Yu's expression wasn't much better. Looking at the "Tao Yanyan" in front of him, who was not yet twenty years old and resembled her younger self, he really wanted to go up and remove her human skin mask.

How dare he create a face that looks exactly like his precious daughter? He really has a death wish!

Not to mention the others, even Tao Yanyan herself was a little stunned on the spot.

The three little ones kept glancing back and forth between their mother and the woman, their eyes wide and staring intently.

The woman was clearly taken aback. Upon seeing someone who looked so much like herself, she knelt down with a thud: "Sister, I've finally found you!"

Tao Yanyan: “…”

"Don't make up relatives randomly. My birth mother died early. Where would I get a sister?" Tao Yanyan glanced at Mu Yu. Back then, the original owner's birth mother, Gu Shi, was chased and killed by Mu Yu's first wife, Madam Mo, and had long since drowned. How could she possibly give birth to a daughter more than ten years later, and look so much like Tao Yanyan?

Even twins can't look that alike. How can a younger sister who is ten years apart in age look like her older sister?

What a ghost!
