Grandma Mo cried out twice, "What could be wrong with you! I'm feeling unwell, how could you leave me like this?"

Mo Yunmei's tone became much harsher. She pouted and pointed at Su Nanxi, "Isn't there another one? It's only natural for a daughter-in-law to serve her mother-in-law! Why don't you just ask her to take care of you? It's just a backache, you don't need so many people waiting on you!"

Grandma Mo felt a chill run through her heart; this was the daughter she had raised for over a decade!

Although she wasn't his biological daughter, he treated her even better than his own daughter. In the end, it really is true that you can't raise someone who isn't your own!

Listen to what they're saying! Look at their attitude!

Thankfully, he wasn't her biological son, and thankfully, he wasn't really too sick to get up. Otherwise, Old Lady Mo would have wanted to find a block of tofu and smash her head against it to die!

Grandma Mo has also given up on Mo Yunmei. Anyway, they won't be mother and daughter for long, so it won't make a difference if they stop pretending. She knows they're not related by blood and doesn't bother to pretend anymore, so why should she pretend?

“You’re my daughter, so you have to take care of me too! The mute mother has to run around brewing medicine and buying food; she’s too busy! I’m not healthy, and I can’t be without someone by my side. What if I fall? What if the pain gets worse? You have to stay and take care of me! Other people’s daughters are very filial to their parents, why can’t you be?”

Grandma Mo didn't give Mo Yunmei a chance, and directly and forcefully demanded that she stay by her side, thus not giving her a chance to contact the outside world.

But Mo Yunmei is not someone who gives up so easily.

This is a matter of life and death! My future life will depend on this; opportunities don't come around all the time!

Once a seed takes root in your heart, it will sprout and grow bigger and bigger, eventually becoming a large tree. Hold on tight!

Mo Yunmei tried to sneak out several times, making excuses. Although she didn't know where Zhao Jinhua was, she felt she could find her!

Unfortunately, her every move was under Su Nanxi's surveillance. She had just reached the door and hadn't even touched it when Su Nanxi appeared quietly.

Su Nanxi didn't have that much patience. She didn't want to play cat and mouse with Mo Yunmei at all, and after a few times, she knocked her unconscious with a single palm strike.

Hmph! What a waste of time!

Grandma Mo pretended not to see anything, closed her eyes and went to sleep, ignoring Mo Yunmei lying on the ground. It didn't matter; it was very hot, and the ground was cooler and more comfortable!

At night, a rustling sound came from outside the door, and Su Nanxi, who was sleeping sitting by the door, suddenly opened her cold eyes.

Is this a shady business?

They don't look wealthy at all; why don't they open their eyes wide and take a closer look before robbing them!

She looked at Old Lady Mo on the bed inside; Old Lady Mo was still asleep. She looked at Mo Yunmei lying on the floor; she was even more unconscious.

She quietly stood up, leaned against the door, and listened carefully. It seemed there was only one person, a man. However, Su Nanxi felt something was strange; she vaguely sensed a familiar aura about him.

A razor blade was stuck in the door crack from the outside. The bolt was moved little by little until it was finally opened!

Wow! Not bad at all!

Whoever they are, since they have the guts to come in, let's give them a good beating first!

The newcomer probably didn't expect anyone to be waiting for him. Caught off guard, he was punched. Seeing that the next punch was about to hit his face, he quickly reached out to block it.

However, unable to withstand Su Nanxi's fierce attack, the attacker was no match and could only beg for mercy. His words startled Su Nanxi so much that she was stunned for a long time.

"Wife, stop hitting me, it's me!"

What?! She actually heard Mo Qinghe shout!

The room was dark, with no lights on, and she couldn't see anything clearly. She felt a little confused about the situation.

Her husband was staying home, wasn't he? So why could she still hear someone calling her "wife"?

How much does she want to marry him off to someone else?! She's even hallucinating!

Oh no! Could I have fallen for some kind of trick?!

This world is terrifying! There are all sorts of weird things here! She doesn't know how to do this question!

The person in front of him was indeed Mo Qinghe. He hadn't seen Su Nanxi move or make a sound for a long time, so he was a little puzzled and called out in a low voice, "Wife, what's wrong?"

He took two steps forward and came to Su Nanxi, looking her up and down with concern.

Mo Qinghe could see in the dark. Seeing his wife's stunned expression, he felt a little guilty. He stepped forward, took her hand, gently rubbed it, and said softly, "Wife, it's me. I'm sorry! I suddenly came here to find you and scared you! Are you alright?"

Su Nanxi felt the familiar movements and heard the familiar voice, and finally came back to her senses. She wasn't hallucinating; this little thief was her cheap husband!

Without saying much more, seeing that the two sleeping people showed no signs of waking up, Su Nanxi quietly pulled Mo Qinghe out.

Finding a secluded corner, Su Nanxi released Mo Qinghe's hand, turned to face him, and asked in confusion, "Weren't you at home? How did you get here? Did something happen at home?"

Su Nanxi's voice was still a little hoarse, not loud, but full of worry.

Mo Qinghe held her hands, kissed them, and replied, seemingly ignoring her question, "Wife, I miss you so much! I can't sleep at night. When you're not by my side, I feel like a huge piece of me is missing, and I can't seem to fill it back. I'm so anxious!"

Well!

Su Nanxi wanted to facepalm. Did this person even hear her? She asked a few questions, and he should at least answer one of them!

Mo Qinghe still didn't think anything was wrong. He hugged Su Nanxi, buried his head in her neck, and acted very coquettishly, speaking in a childish voice.

"Honey, I don't want you to leave me anymore. Next time you go anywhere, please take me with you, okay?"

Su Nanxi found his appearance quite endearing, especially the way his cool voice could actually sound like a child's voice—the contrast was so adorable that she couldn't help but be captivated. "Okay!"

Mo Qinghe got the answer he wanted and was overjoyed. Only then did he tell Su Nanxi why he had come to find her.

"Wife, I miss you and can't sleep. I knew you must have gone back to town, so I came out to look for you."

"Then how did you know I was here?"

"There are only a few inns and hotels in the town. I can figure out which one you'll be in with a little analysis. There must be three of you together. I can find out your exact room with just a little money."

"How clever! You even found that! It seems the silver I left you was still useful!"

"My wife was so prescient; she specially left me a whole box of stuff. She's so good to me! Those things are really valuable, and she gave them to me without even blinking an eye!"

"You'll still have to pay in the blink of an eye! Where's your room? Let's talk about it when we get back."

"My wife is so clever, she even knew I booked a room! It's really not a good place to talk here, come on, I'll take you there!"

Mo Qinghe's room was right across from Su Nanxi's room, which was really convenient; she could keep an eye on the other side without even leaving the room!

"You really know how to pick a room!" Su Nanxi glanced at it.

Mo Qinghe smiled slightly, "Thank you for the compliment, my wife!"

Are you alone?
