Rebirth of a Villainess Chapter 104

The next day, Yan Xuequi and the twins set out for the next town, four people left the Mou family house that morning .

"Zimu, let Pa give you a hug before you go!"

Mou Yaxin picked the youngest of his twin sons and held him in his arms for quite a while . The older twin shifted from one leg to the other, as though questioning why his father had not called him first rather than his younger brother .

"Now Yidan, it's your turn to receive a hug!"

The Yiting town fisherman, gently let go of his son and placed him down, before reaching down for the older twin .

A little girl watched from the side as her cousins were each embraced warmly by their father, this made her oddly sad, reminding her the family that she left at the fox clan .

When the husband of Mou Hairong heard that his wife would be staying in the fox clan until her niece returned, he thought it strange that she would be there while his children was being looked after by their cousins . Sadly, shortly before the two parted ways at the fox clan, Mou Hairong had pleaded with her niece not to let her husband know the real reason behind her stay, fearing that he would come to hate the Fox King and become bitter towards Yan Xuequi . Staying true to her words, the fox princess told Mou Yaxin that the twins didn't want to stay back with their grandfather, who had important matters to discuss with the fox princess . Not thinking anything was amiss, he took his in-law's word for it, already knowing of his children's aversion to their mother's birthplace .

The pretty girl with long black hair that reached all the way to whole length of her back, whose side braids was held by flower shaped comb atop her head . She wore an stylish silk blue robe, which made her eyes sparkle like tiny gems, underneath the robes was a boot of fine embroidery of blue .

Mou Yaxin had his hair held in a simple brown hair pin, wearing a plain dark robe with his tools set by his feet which was covered in dark boots . His calloused palms tenderly patted the head of his boys, who looked teary eyed at their father, as though begging him not to leave .

"Be good and don't give your cousin any trouble! You're older than, crying is only for babies!"

The father of the twins sent them a warm smile to soften the rebuke in his voice .

"But, Pa!"

Each twin ran to latch onto the legs of their father, their robes of yellow added a brightness to their gloomy faces . On their heads was a silver hair pin crafted by the best craftsmith from the fox clan, given by their grandfather on the day they were born . It had tiny stones of green that held foxfire in them, giving it a glow even in the morning light . Sadly, their father could not see things that were not of the mundane world . To him, they were just nice looking silver hairpins with tiny green stones .

Yan Xuequi told Mou Yaxin when he got back the evening before that she was taking his sons to Xuekejiu town, which was the neighboring town of Yiting to see an old friend .

"Is it the man that saved my sons?!"

"Yes Uncle Mou, I haven't returned the gratitude that he showed us . Which is why, I want to take the twins with me to thank him properly . "

"Please, tell him that I'm sorry I couldn't come along, but I'll definitely pay him a visit as a family when your Aunt returns . "

"Thank you, Uncle Mou . I will let him know . "

"Look after them well, Xuequi . "

"I promise not to let them leave my side, Uncle Mou . "

Mou Yaxin sent a look of warmth to the girl that sat by the table with his sons, he saw her helping them to cut their fish into tiny pieces and separating the bones out of them, looking at the scene, it was as if she was their older sister instead of a cousin . Watching his wife refer to her niece as Xuequi was the reason for addressing her that way, it would have been awkward to use a formal approach .
