The frail scholar, named Yu Wujin, was a bit of a sharp-tongued fellow. He was so angered by the retort that he almost vomited blood. He angrily flung his hand away and said, "This is simply incomprehensible."

Hei Yi gave Yu Wujin a disdainful look: "You have no self-awareness at all. Living is just a waste of food and cloth."

"Pfft!" Yu Wujin's vision went black, his foot slipped, and he almost fell.

A flash of ferocity crossed the woman in red's eyes, and she suddenly cried out, "You... let me go, I'm not..."

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Hei Yi said coldly, directly silencing the woman in red.

Yu Wujin watched helplessly as the woman in red was dragged away, clenching his fists and trembling with anger.

Everyone got into the carriages and mounted their horses. Hei Yi cracked his whip, and the carriage sped away.

"Hmph! Don't let this young master catch you..." Yu Wujin said with a dark face as he was pulled into the carriage by his servant and the old steward.

This little incident didn't attract much attention, and I didn't encounter any more meddlesome people.

Hei Yi glanced at the woman in red with a cold smile: "I'm warning you, don't try anything funny."

"..." The woman in red really wanted to spit a mouthful of blood onto Hei Yi's face. Damn stinking man, are you sure you didn't crawl out of a cesspool? Your mouth is so foul!

As the carriage moved forward, Mu Wanqing blinked her starry eyes and communicated with Shangguan Yunxi using lip reading.

The other little ones: "..."

Shangguan Yichen and Mo Qingcheng rode their horses behind, both filled with doubt.

The mother and son whispered to each other for a while. Bai Yueniang lifted the carriage curtain and happened to catch a glimpse of this heartwarming scene. She couldn't help but feel envious...

It's always better to live in someone else's place.

Xuan Yuan Tong lowered her eyes and stole a glance at Bai Yue Niang. Did her mother dislike them?

Xuanyuan Ying noticed that her older sister was acting strangely, so she leaned closer to her, wanting to find out what was going on.

Bai Yueniang glanced back and happened to see this scene. She frowned slightly. Did these two children have something on their minds?

Half an hour later, everyone got off the carriage and were stunned. This was not Yutang Town.

Mo Qingcheng smiled and said, "How about it? Surprised? This is Beining Town."

Beining Town?

Bai Yueniang and Old Man Bai exchanged a glance, realizing then...

The little ones, without a second thought, swarmed around Mo Qingcheng, asking if they could buy her anything they liked.

Mo Qingcheng was incredibly generous; with a wave of her hand, she started buying everything.

As the group walked down the bustling streets of Beining Town, they instantly astonished everyone.

"Wow, whose baby is this? I really want to take him home and raise him secretly."

"What nonsense are you thinking? Don't you even know your own worth? Such a beautiful girl, and you dare to even think about her?"

"Pah, who do you think you are?"

"Pah! You idiot!"

Mo Qingcheng's lips curled into a meaningful smile. The children were too eye-catching, and also a headache...

Suddenly, Mu Wanqing grabbed Shangguan Yunxi's hand and stumbled towards an inconspicuous street stall.

Mo Qingcheng quickly followed, giving Bai Yueniang a look, signaling her to take good care of the other children.

Bai Yueniang nodded, saying it was a small matter and she would take care of it.

Two little girls squatted in front of the stall, looking at it and whispering to each other.

The stall owners were an elderly couple, and as the weather turned cooler, they were dressed rather thinly. The old woman, in particular, was pale, and if you looked closely, you could see that she was trembling violently, though the trembling was so slow that it was not easily noticed.

Mo Qingcheng followed and, upon seeing this scene, her gaze involuntarily fell on the old woman, or more precisely, on her pale face.

Mu Wanqing and Shangguan Yunxi exchanged a glance, a glint of shrewdness flashing in their eyes.

Shangguan Yunxi blinked, turned around and smiled gently: "Mother, look..."
