Chapter 1336 Nature Takes Its Course

"What you just said is also very reasonable," said Mu Chenyan. "Well, we won't know what's the real reason. So, there is no point in thinking about it. Right?"

"Yes," agreed Raelle. "Where are you taking me?"

"Just follow me," said Mu Chenyan mysteriously and pulled her to the far end of the mansion. She opened the door and walked out with Raelle. As they stepped out, they could see the view of different fields down there. "Tada!" Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

"What am I supposed to be looking at?" asked Raelle.

Mu Chenyan shook her head and held her shoulders to make her look in a particular direction as she pointed, "See those terraced fields?"

"Yes," answered Raelle.

"That's our tea farm," she replied. "On the far right, we have our rice fields. Since the rice had only been planted for a couple of months, you can't see the real beauty of it. But this is a sight to see during the autumn harvest."

"We have rice fields?" asked Raelle.

Mu Chenyan gave her a look and sighed, "This is why I tell you to pay attention to the accounts that I settle every month so that you can know what our family does apart from business. Yes, we have our own fields. I have worked in those rice fields too."

"Was it tiring?" asked Raelle.

"It was fine. The worst part of working in rice fields are the leeches that get stuck to your skin and start sucking blood like it's free of cost."

"That experience must be something," said Raelle.

"Yeah. It was something," said Mu Chenyan. "You know what? You should come here more in the future and see things. For instance, you should come and see when the farmers are picking tea. You should also see how crops are harvested and grown too. It's an experience. Even if you don't learn it, at least, you won't look like the person who doesn't even know how the food she eats is grown."

"I'll try," replied Raelle.

Mu Chenyan pulled her to sit on the stone bench and said, "Once upon a time, I used to love sitting here and looking at everything from this height. Look at the sun."

"You'd become a wonderful mother, Yanyan."

Mu Chenyan stared at her, "I already have a daughter like you and a son like Fai. Why would I need more children? And that too, at this age?"

"There is nothing wrong with your age," said Raelle. "Our medical technology is definitely advanced enough at this point that you can have a safe and healthy child at this age too. And I think you should. You deserve to have a normal child. Raising me and Hyson was certainly not normal."

"But I had fun," replied Mu Chenyan. "I had a lot of fun. You won't understand this. And who can guarantee that I'll have a normal kid? Look at me and then look at Zhao. Combining our genes, do you really think there is a chance of having a normal kid? I highly doubt that. If we ended up having a really normal kid in the future, that'd be a miracle on its own."

"Don't act like you don't wanna have a kid," said Raelle. "I know you're actually anticipating what your and Uncle Zhao's genes could produce."

Mu Chenyan pursed her lips and didn't refute.

"I'd say you should not deprive yourself just because you think you're old now. Give yourself a chance."

"I'd just let nature take its course. There is no hurry. And I won't actively be looking for it too. I'm already a grandaunt. Soon, I'll have to look after your kids too. So, having my own kid at this age will really mess up the seniority in this family."

"Forget about seniority."

"Okay, I'll listen to you," said Mu Chenyan. "How about we go back inside? Everyone might be up by now. And your husband must be very anxious looking for you."

"There is no reason for him to be anxious," replied Raelle. "By the way, Hyson insisted on treasure hunt. Is there really a treasure in the mountains? Don't talk about how nature is a treasure to us too. I'm talking about the real treasure."

Mu Chenyan took a moment before responding in a low voice, "There really is one. But I don' know where it is. In fact, only Elder Xiang knows where it is. Because only the head of the family has the location of the family treasure. But, I know the location of my Mu family's treasure. Do you want the map?"

"Keep it to yourself," said Raelle. "I don't need any treasure. It's just that Hyson kept talking about it in my ear for so long that I really wanted to know the truth behind it."

"Well, now you know."

"Yes, now I know."

Mu Chenyan happily took her back inside. She really didn't know where the location of the treasure was or what was inside it. She just heard from her godmother that every generation of the Xiang family would add something to that treasure which was actually like a family heirloom at this point. And she also knew what Elder Xiang added to that already rich treasure because she selected it.
