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 ...
Su Nanxi went to town early in the morning. Unable to get rid of Mo Qinghe, she could only take him with her, but she dressed him up rather ugly.
There was no other way; her husband was quite handsome, and this was to avoid unnecessary trouble!
We can't just blame the abundance of bees and butterflies; we also have to blame the flowers for being too beautiful!
Mo Qinghe had no objections. He would do whatever his wife wanted, as long as she asked him to follow her.
While riding in the oxcart, many people who saw him had questions. Wasn't the Mo family preparing to move into their new home? They should be wealthy, so why did the youngest son of the Mo family look so destitute?
His wife was dressed neatly and smartly, so does that mean she treats him badly?
That's right, Mo Qinghe was dressed rather shabby and down-and-out, and Su Nanxi made him look ugly and rustic. And that's the only thing!
Su Nanxi didn't care about the villagers' gazes; let them look at and discuss as they pleased. Mo Qinghe cared even less; he only cared about his wife's every word and action.
So a strange phenomenon occurred on the oxcart: a young couple sat there blankly, oblivious to everyone else, while the people around them seemed to automatically draw a line, being pushed aside and forming small groups, chattering incessantly.
Upon arriving in town, they went their separate ways.
"Wife, what are we still missing from buying?" Mo Qinghe asked, holding up the list.
Su Nanxi glanced at the list. She could roughly remember what was missing without even looking at it. However, these were not necessities for the Mo family. They were things she wanted to buy for herself to fuss over. There weren't many, just a few, and she bought them for the obvious purpose.
The Mo family's needs for moving into their new home have been almost fully prepared. She doesn't need to buy the small, miscellaneous items, since the Mo family isn't doing breakfast today and someone will go to town to buy what they need.
Su Nanxi's real purpose in coming to town was not to buy things, but to ask someone for a favor.
With her husband nearby, she couldn't ask him directly, so she had to ask Chen Liang for help.
When Chen Liang saw Su Nanxi come in, he was about to greet him when he noticed that his employer was accompanied by a young man. His employer gave him a wink, and he immediately understood.
When the owner settled the bill, he accepted the money with a smiling face, cleverly taking the copper coins.
"Take care, sir! Welcome to our shop again next time. Our food is absolutely delicious!"
Su Nanxi nodded and pulled Mo Qinghe out.
"Honey, I'll pay next time! Some shop owners are snobbish, and I don't want them to hurt you!"
After they came out, Mo Qinghe told Su Nanxi that he was worried that those people would look down on his wife and say rude things, which would make her feel bad.
Su Nanxi smiled slightly and nodded, "Okay!"
She hadn't originally planned to pay for everything herself; she wanted to give her husband a chance to show off. This time, she only did it to send a message to Chen Liang.
Ah! It feels so good to have someone who cares and thinks of you!
She's a petite woman who occasionally snuggles under a man's wings, adding a touch of sweetness to her life—that's a joy!
Mo Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his wife was not upset, as he was really afraid that she would be sad.
Chen Liang swiftly pulled out the smuggled note, hid it in his sleeve, and walked away as if nothing had happened.
Su Nanxi bought the items on the list and then went with Mo Qinghe to find the rest of the Mo family.
I don't know who will come out, but someone will.
They found Old Lady Mo and Old Man Mo at a stall.
Su Nanxi thought the two wanted to buy snacks for the children. At first, she didn't notice who the stall owner was, so she just waited for them for a while.
Mo Qinghe noticed something unusual and whispered to Su Nanxi, "Wife, my eldest sister is setting up a stall in front, and Mother and my eldest brother are standing next to her. It seems like business isn't going very well!"
Upon hearing that it was Mo Wenying setting up a stall, Su Nanxi immediately looked over, and wow, it really was!
Wow! I didn't really notice it at first, mainly because I didn't expect it to be here.
No, that's not right! It's more likely that Su Nanxi simply forgot about it.
She didn't care at all what happened to Mo Wenying after she went back. As for whether she actually set up a stall to do business, she didn't care at all. Whoever needed money could do it!
So when she saw Old Lady Mo and Old Master Mo at the stall, she never even considered that possibility.
Looking around, it was indeed as Mo Qinghe had said: business was not good. There were quite a few people on the street, but few actually bought anything from the stalls. Most just looked around and left.
Su Nanxi was puzzled. It shouldn't be that deserted! What could be wrong?
She watched from a distance for a while and noticed some problems, but they probably weren't the most important ones.
"Let's go and see what's going on."
Su Nanxi whispered to Mo Qinghe, then took his hand and walked over.
Mo Qinghe also wanted to know, so he let his wife pull him over.
When she arrived at the stall, Mo Wenying thought a customer had arrived and was about to greet her with a smile. However, when she realized it was Su Nanxi, her expression immediately changed, and she gave Su Nanxi a cold look.
Grandma Mo didn't notice her daughter's expression. When she saw her third son and his wife arrive, she happily turned around and said, "You've come all this way! How's your shopping going? What else do you need? We'll go buy it later!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Wenying's face darkened further. She thought to herself, "My mother is blind! Can't she see through this daughter-in-law? All she knows is flattery!"
Look at her stall, not a single person has come to buy anything. It's been half a day and only a few people have bought anything. How is she going to make any money?
She was so grateful before, thinking she could really make money, but look what happened! She's lucky if she doesn't lose money!
Now she has to watch her mother-in-law and husband's expressions every day and listen to their gossip!
Mo Wenying was angry. When she first started her business, her mother-in-law and husband treated her very well, practically fawning over her. But after business became difficult, their attitudes changed every day, and they treated her worse and worse!
It's all that ugly woman's fault! What a terrible idea she came up with! She's just making fun of her!
It's not making any money at all, and it's almost at the point of collapse!
This ugly woman actually has the nerve to show her face now!
Are you here to watch the joke?
"Mom! This business isn't making any money at all. They promised it would be so good, but now hardly anyone is buying! I'm about to go out of business; I'm not making any money!"
Mo Wenying was full of resentment, and she didn't hide it from Old Lady Mo at all, her face also showing a sour expression.
Grandma Mo frowned, clearly displeased, and very unhappy with Mo Wenying's impulsive tone.
But Old Mrs. Mo didn't know what was going on either, so she didn't immediately scold Mo Wenying. Instead, she looked at Su Nanxi with pleading eyes, "Mute Mother, look..."
Mo Wenying said unhappily, "Mother, what are you letting her see? Doesn't she know the answer in her heart?"
Grandma Mo glared at Mo Wenying, warning her to tone it down.
Mo Wenying reluctantly shut her mouth and turned her face away.
Mo Laoda didn't say anything. He was very nervous. He saw that his younger sister hadn't made any money, but he didn't know where to start or what to do. In the end, he could only place his hopes on Su Nanxi.
Su Nanxi didn't even look at Mo Wenying, and immediately went forward to check on her.
"Hey! What are you doing! How am I supposed to sell them if you do this?!"
