Inside the carriage, a small red clay stove was crackling.

Mu Wanqing took the teapot off the stove and poured out the boiling water. The car was immediately filled with the smell of herbs.

She opened the curtain and handed it out, "This has herbs to dispel the cold, drink a bowl."

Mu Jinyao and Mu Rongxue took the brown tea, sniffed it gently, and drank it in one gulp.

After drinking a bowl of boiling hot tea, his body gradually warmed up and he finally stopped shivering. However, the wet clothes stuck to his body and made him feel very uncomfortable. He felt cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Mu Jinyao endured the discomfort and tugged at the collar of his raincoat.

"Bao'er, you are the older brother, you must be obedient when you are with your younger brothers and sisters."

They were responsible for bringing the children over and taking care of them. They could not get on the mule cart, but they could stay under the tarpaulin to protect themselves from the wind and rain.

Inside the car, a timid little voice came, "I know. I'll be obedient."

The oldest of the four children is only five years old, which is the age when they still don’t understand much.

Madam Mu stripped the children of their wet clothes, wiped their bodies dry with towels, and wrapped the two girls in cloth and placed them on her legs so that they would not take up any space.

The two boys were stuffed directly into the quilt naked.

After the tea cooled down a little, Mu Wanqing gave each little one a bowl.

The four children of the Mu family were as cute as jade, but at this moment they just quietly let themselves be manipulated and did whatever they were told to do.

The elders said that we should be obedient.

In an unfamiliar environment with unfamiliar adults around, the children were a little timid and cautious.

Seeing this, Mu Wanqing took out a large bowl of oil tea noodles and said, "Mom, feed them some."

When the child smelled the aroma of food, his eyes lit up and he excitedly got up and rushed towards Mu Wanqing, saying there was something delicious!

Mu Wanqing grabbed the naked kid and stuffed him back into the quilt. She looked at them seriously and said, "Everyone, sit down and don't fight over anything."

They sit in a row and share the food, taking a bite at a time, their little mouths open wide, waiting to be fed.

Everyone was very satisfied with the fragrant oil tea noodles and smiled happily. It had been a long time since we had eaten such delicious food.

Listening to the noise inside, Mu Jinyao and Mu Rongxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The fact that they are willing to take in the child and provide food shows that there is still room for mediation.

Mrs. Mu was impartial and fed the five children in turn. Soon the bowl of oil tea noodles was finished.

Baoer smacked his lips, not feeling full yet, but didn't dare ask for more.

He stared at Mu Wanqing for a long time, and Mu Wanqing glanced at him indifferently, "Why are you staring at me?"

Baoer said shockingly, "Third Aunt, are you a devil?"

Mu Wanqing:……? ? ?

Mu Jinyao outside was startled and scolded, "Bao'er, what nonsense are you talking about? Apologize quickly. Third sister, children are ignorant, don't be angry."

As soon as Mu Wanqing heard it, she knew it was probably what the adults said in front of the children. Wow, so in the eyes of the Mu family's eldest son, she was a devil?

She stared at the brat with interest, "Have you ever seen a devil as beautiful as me?"

Seeing her friendly attitude, the little brat opened his innocent eyes, tilted his head and thought for a while, "No, you are pretty, you are a fairy."

Giving him delicious food is like being a fairy.

Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows, a little surprised. Not bad, not bad. Good vision and sweet words. The little guy has a future.

"Yes, I am a beautiful and kind fairy." She took out a candy, "Here, this is a reward."

The little kid was shocked. There was candy?

He took a bite and it was so sweet and delicious. He will call her Little Fairy Aunt from now on! He hopes that Little Fairy Aunt will give him lots of candies!

The other children looked over eagerly, "Third Aunt, I want some candy too."

Mu Wanqing held candy in her hand and teased them, "Only those who praise me for being pretty can have candy."

Don’t think that children don’t understand anything because they are young. In fact, they are smarter than anyone else.

The children immediately started to flatter her, each one sweeter than the other, praising her from all angles.

This person said that the third aunt is the most beautiful girl he has ever seen, even more beautiful than a fairy.

That person said, "Third aunt is so pretty that I was stunned by her. I will be filial to her in the future."

Another one said that the most beautiful girl in the world is actually my third aunt, and everyone envies me.

I don't know where all the tricks come from, they are so unique and they can praise people in different ways. Even if the logic doesn't make sense, it's sweet.

Mu Jinyao and her sister's mouths were twitching outside and their faces were burning. These little guys dared to brag, and Mu Wanqing dared to listen.

Okay, you are all shameless.

What's wrong with the child? He just wants to eat candy.

The more Mu Rongxue listened, the more familiar it sounded. "If I remember correctly, they usually coax the old lady like this."

Mu Jinyao nodded silently.

Finally, Mu Wanqing gave each person two candies, which made the little guy dance with joy and call her "Third Aunt" sweetly.

Mu Wanqing looked at the little girl in her arms. The little girl had been sitting obediently in her arms. After drinking the tea, her pale little face became a little more colorful.

"Xiao Ya, why don't you eat candy?"

Xiaoya held the candy in her hand and swallowed her saliva. She wanted to eat it but resisted. "I want to take it back to eat with my grandparents, father and mother."

Mu Wanqing touched her little head, unable to hide her affection, "Good girl, so well behaved."

She suddenly had an idea, "I have nothing to do, so I'll tell you a story."

There is no child who doesn’t like listening to stories, and they all responded enthusiastically.

Mu Wanqing told the story of a modified version of Snow White, in which Snow White was changed into a little fairy and the evil queen was changed into an old witch. The two fought a battle of wits and courage. After repeated failures, the old witch became angry and gave the little fairy poisonous fruit to eat, and wanted to sell the little fairy to the bad guys as a slave.

The Mu Jinyao sisters outside were also listening attentively, but as they listened a little longer, they felt something was wrong.

The children were filled with indignation after hearing what they heard, and they excitedly cursed the old witch, asking how could she be so evil!

Xiaoya suddenly said, "Auntie, you are the little fairy, who is that old witch?"

Baoer raised his hand weakly, "It looks a bit like our ancestor."

When in prison, my ancestor wanted to sell my third aunt!

Don't ask him why he knew that. The answer is that he eavesdropped on his parents' conversation.

Mu Jinyao & Mu Rongxue: ...I finally understand what's wrong. What the hell, you're just playing with innuendo!

However, Baoer is really a filial son!

"Haha." Mu Wanqing took out some candies and handed them to the little guy. Children always say things without restraint. "A reward for a smart child."

Well, if you mess with me, I will brainwash your children and grandchildren and steal your girls. Perfect!

Mu Jinyao was extremely helpless, "Third sister, isn't it bad to teach children this way?"

"What did I teach you?" Mu Wanqing asked with a smile, "I just told you a little story and gave you some candies."

She always has a point and holds a grudge. Mu Jinyao is speechless. It seems that being as close as a family is just an unrealistic dream for them.

Mu Wanqing had delicious food, could tell stories, knew a lot of things, and had a deep understanding of children's psychology. She quickly coaxed the children to look at her with admiring eyes.

Half an hour later, the wind and rain gradually stopped and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Lord Zeng climbed out of the carriage and saw a mess in front of him. The prisoners looked like they were fished out of the river. They were all wet, their faces were pale without a trace of blood, their eyes were dazed, and their bodies were shaky.

He frowned, thinking that if he continued like this he would fall ill.

Once they fall ill, the journey will be delayed, which will cause big trouble, and the officers in charge of escorting them will be punished.

"Pack up everything and continue on your journey. Find the nearest inn to stay."

It had just rained heavily, and the road was muddy and difficult to walk on. The prisoners supported each other and walked with difficulty.

They were panting with every step they took. Some fell down halfway and couldn't get up. Some fainted and lay motionless, looking really miserable.

Lord Zeng saw that this was not a solution, so he temporarily freed up his own carriage, picked up the unconscious person, and threw more than a dozen people into the carriage, stacking them together, without caring whether they were in pain or not.

Master Mu was pulling the mule in front with great effort, and his wooden clogs made a squeaking sound, but there was nothing he could do as his wooden boots would soon be worn out if he walked on the muddy road.

Brother Mu Zicheng had a hard time walking with the help of the carriage.

The eldest son of the Mu family was also in a very miserable state. He dragged the people who could not walk onto a cart, tied a rope to the front of the cart and towed it forward.

Mu Wanqing sat in the car and watched silently, and her thoughts became more determined.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, we still couldn't find the inn, but when we saw a populated village, everyone cheered.

Seeing that the prisoners could no longer hold on, Mr. Zeng simply asked the village chief for help.

When the village chief saw them taking out the official documents and money, he naturally agreed without saying a word. He helped them borrow a few houses and even vacated his own house.

Borrowing half a tael of silver for one night, who would be willing to miss such a good thing?

Mu Wanqing's family was arranged to live in the village chief's house, a quadrangle building with blue bricks and tiles and more than a dozen rooms.

The little kids were carried out of the mule carts one by one, crying and shouting, refusing to go back to their parents, "Auntie Fairy, I won't go back, I want to follow you."

"I won't go back either, little fairy aunt. I love you so much. I want to be your child."

The Mu family's eldest son was stunned. What was going on?

What can the Mu Jinyao sisters say as they face everyone's doubts while holding their child?

Young Master Mu was confused. He had just boarded a mule cart and then he rebelled. Could he have been drugged? "Why do you like Third Aunt so much?"

Baoer's eyes were filled with tears, like an abandoned puppy, "It's the fairy aunt, she's the prettiest."

“She has lots of delicious food.”

“She tells stories.”

No one could understand what the child said, so everyone looked at Mu Jinyao. Mu Jinyao briefly explained the whole process, gave him some sugar and oil tea noodles to eat, and also fed him some medicinal soup to dispel the cold.

As for the story Mu Wanqing told, she seemed to have lost her memory and did not mention a single word.

Mu Rongxue didn't mention it and hurriedly ran to change her wet clothes.

Old Mrs. Mu was caught in the rain and felt dizzy and uncomfortable all over. She listened to all this in a half-conscious state.

Hearing the children praising Mu Wanqing, she couldn't help it anymore, opened her eyes and yelled, "She is a bad person, you are not allowed to talk to her in the future."

"Woo woo." The little ones cried in fear.

Someone cried out in a baby voice, "Old witch, you are the old witch who bullied the little fairy."

The other children also began to shout, "Old witch, old witch."

Old Madam Mu: …She must not be awake yet! Let her take her time!

Mu family:!!!

Mu Wanqing and her daughter went into the kitchen, boiled a large pot of hot water, and asked Mu Erye and his father and son to take a hot bath.

Master Zeng was busy for a while, settled everyone down, and took a bag of herbs into the kitchen. "Miss Mu San, please cook a big pot of cold-relieving soup."

"Okay." Mu Wanqing cooked a big pot of soup to dispel the cold. The officials all drank a big bowl and felt refreshed.

If there was any left, she would ask her father and brothers who had just finished taking a hot bath to give it to the tribesmen.

The quantity is not much, so I will give it to the tribesmen who helped me plead for mercy last time.

The shivering tribesmen had neither the conditions to take a hot bath nor a sip of hot soup to drink, so they could only rely on themselves to get through it.

When everyone saw this bowl of cold-relieving soup and heard that it was sent by Mu Wanqing, they were surprised, happy and deeply moved.

This is timely assistance.

I'll remember this favor.

As for the Mu family's legitimate wife? Sorry, there is not enough left. You can find a way to solve it yourself.

Master Mu came back happily with his sons. Mu Wanqing handed over a blueprint and said, "Dad, please help me make a few wooden molds. I need them."

Master Mu took a look at the neat rows of square grids. It was not difficult. He asked casually, "What are they used for?"

Mu Wanqing said with a smile, "Make money."

The money-making plan is officially launched.
