A noble嫡女 (legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official) is framed and falls to the borderlands, losing her memory and becoming a farmer's wife. Su Nanxi arrives with a space (a mystical ...
Mo Yunmei excitedly ran to find Old Lady Mo and immediately asked for the prescription.
Grandma Mo was furious inside, but she remained calm on the surface, simply asking, "Why do you need the prescription?"
Mo Yunmei was straightforward and wanted to say it as part of her dowry, but then she remembered she shouldn't mention it, and changed her mind, saying, "It will definitely be useful!"
Grandma Mo didn't expect Mo Yunmei to tell the truth, but it would be a lie to say she wasn't sad. She was truly heartbroken, having raised such an ungrateful child!
Perhaps having given up hope, she became indifferent, and Old Mrs. Mo became much more nonchalant, no longer needing to feign anything when she spoke, "What's the use? You're a young woman, and you don't even know how to do it!"
Mo Yunmei's eyes darted around. She figured her mother wouldn't guess anything, so she carefully considered her words before cautiously probing, "Then I should learn how to do it later? That way I won't be able to do it, right?"
Grandma Mo gave her a cold look and said, "You're not suited for those kinds of jobs. They're too strenuous and mentally taxing. You should just do some lighter work. There's no need to get up in the middle of the night."
Mo Yunmei was overjoyed to hear this. See, her mother still loves her and is worried that she can't sleep well and is tired from doing heavy work!
In her excitement, her brain stopped working properly. "Then I won't do it. I can hire someone to do it and open a breakfast shop. That way, I won't have to work so hard!"
Grandma Mo laughed in exasperation, "Then you can figure out your own solution, do whatever you want!"
Mo Yunmei was taken aback. "How would I know how to think about it? Don't we have something ready-made at home? Just give it to me. Why should I bother to think about it?"
Grandma Mo slammed her hand on the table. "So all you want is food, huh?! There are over a dozen of us who don't need to eat or drink, do you?! If you give it to us, we'll eat it ourselves!"
Mo Yunmei pouted and muttered, "You guys should think of other prescriptions!"
Grandma Mo took a few deep breaths, deciding not to linger with someone who seemed to have a screw loose. "Whatever formula you want, think of it yourself. The Mo family's formulas belong to the Mo family; it's none of your business!"
After saying this, they quickly evacuated to stay away from the plague.
Mo Yunmei didn't know why her mother was running away. She shouted at Old Madam Mo, "I'm a member of the Mo family too! How can this not be my business? I have a share in it too!"
But no one paid any attention to her anymore; everyone avoided her like the plague, closing all their windows and doors.
They always want the recipe, and they act like it's their due. They're so shameless!
I wonder how this thought process developed. Could it be that it was already passed down in the womb?
Mo Yunmei was a little frustrated after being rebuffed again, but she didn't give up. She had long coveted the family's breakfast business and planned to take it over as part of her dowry, so she wouldn't give up just because she was scolded a few times.
She was thinking all night about how to take all the valuables in the house as her dowry to save face!
Su Nanxi was already used to it and was no longer surprised by Mo Yunmei's behavior. She could even guess what she would do next.
Just as Su Nanxi had predicted, Mo Yunmei couldn't sleep all night and went out early in the morning to secretly go find someone.
Normally, I have to call her three times to get her up, but today I didn't have to call her at all. She rolled out of bed on her own and washed up very conscientiously.
Su Nanxi glanced up but didn't pay attention. It wasn't until Mo Yunmei quietly left the house that she wiped her hands clean and followed her out.
Mo Yunmei ran all the way, her hair practically flying off her feet, and she was laughing like a complete idiot.
She felt that her wonderful life was getting closer; all she had to do was move faster and run a little faster to achieve it.
"Jinhua! Jinhua! Are you up yet?"
Upon arriving at a house, Mo Yunmei started shouting outside the wall, her excitement comparable to that of a magpie on a branch!
A short while later, a voice came from inside, "Why did you call her so early in the morning? She's not up yet!"
Su Nanxi, who was hiding in the shadows, felt that the male voice sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before, but she couldn't quite place it.
Mo Yunmei said to the man, "Good morning, Brother Ziqi! I need to talk to Jinhua about something. How long will it take her to get up?"
"Who knows? I'm not her! If you really need to see her, you should come when the sun is high in the sky; she'll definitely be up by then!"
Mo Yunmei didn't understand. "Should I go back and wait for the sun to rise before coming back?"
"That's right! That's the safest way! You won't have to come looking for her early in the morning anymore and disturb her sweet dreams! Maybe she's sleeping soundly right now, enjoying her princess-like life!"
"Zhao Ziqi! You bastard! What nonsense are you spouting!"
A soprano voice suddenly rang out from inside, followed by the sound of something being thrown.
Su Nanxi was startled. What? Was it Zhao Ziqi, the one she was thinking of?
She secretly peeked inside, and tsk tsk!
It really is! Chen Qiuxia's old flame!
No wonder the voice sounded familiar; it really was someone she knew!
This Jin Hua, who must be his sister, actually instigated Mo Yunmei to marry someone else. She's probably no good either!
Su Nanxi instantly understood the connection and muttered to herself: They're absolutely wicked!
Su Nanxi didn't know this Zhao Jinhua, but that didn't stop her from hearing about her glorious history, so she had heard a little about Zhao Jinhua's story.
Zhao Jinhua married a man in his sixties as his second wife. What she was after was obvious to everyone, but no one bothered to say it out loud.
Whether she's doing well or not, nobody knows. People only care about what she eats, what she wears, and whether she has money.
On the surface, Zhao Jinhua seemed to be living a very good life and should have some money, otherwise she wouldn't be so generous to people and give them gifts from time to time, even though they weren't worth much.
Su Nanxi didn't know why Zhao Jinhua had been back at her parents' home for so long. She had heard about it for a long time, but she knew that Zhao Jinhua's return was never good. That's why Mo Yunmei lost her mind.
Mo Yunmei actually believed that Zhao Jinhua could introduce her to a good marriage. Judging from the way she rushed over so early in the morning, she must have made up her mind and decided to live a good life with Zhao Jinhua!
Tsk!
Having heard that Chen Qiuxia was sent away overnight, Su Nanxi guessed that a distant marriage was unlikely. Given Chen Qiuxia's personality, she would never submit to such a situation. She must have found a way out, most likely a wealthy man in town, and one who was quite old.
The person who could help Chen Qiuxia was probably Zhao Jinhua. They were best friends, childhood sweethearts, so they could talk things over and she wouldn't stand by and watch someone die.
Zhao Jinhua had been in town for several years and had accumulated some connections. It was impossible for her to find Chen Qiuxia a wealthy man's legal wife, but it was quite possible for her to become his concubine or second wife.
Perhaps having tasted the sweetness of success and profited handsomely, he returned and set his sights on the mentally challenged Mo Yunmei.
Mo Yunmei is the most troublesome one, so who else should we keep an eye on if not her?
"Look!" Mo Yunmei excitedly called out, "Jinhua! It's me! I'm here!"
After the door opened, Mo Yunmei went in with a joyful expression.
Su Nanxi could guess what they would say inside with her toes, so she had no interest in going to listen.
