"They've already activated self-destruct mode, they don't need you to add anything! Let's go!"

After Su Nanxi finished speaking, she left, taking a different route.

I don't want to go through that battlefield, it's bad luck!

When the four of them arrived at the old tree that the waiter had mentioned, they found nothing. They searched the surrounding area again, but still found nothing amiss.

It's likely that the person has already left and found somewhere else.

I asked people nearby, and they all shook their heads and said they hadn't seen it!

If what Xiao Er said is true, then it can only mean that those people were just resting under the tree for a while and left soon after.

Finding nothing, the group left.

Su Nanxi believed it in her heart; it seemed that the waiter had told them this on purpose, probably because he had received instructions from Chen Liang!

With someone nearby, she couldn't get away. Taking advantage of the break while using the restroom, she went into her spatial dimension and quickly wrote several pages, writing down everything she needed to tell. After folding them up, she found an opportunity to slip them into Xiao Wu's hand.

Xiao Wu understood immediately, knowing that his master had assigned him a task. He clutched the note in his hand and hid it discreetly.

Then he made an excuse to leave, acted quickly, handed the note to the person designated by his master, and returned just as fast.

In the short span of time, no one noticed anything was wrong.

Xiao Wu was very skilled at this; he could guess what was going to happen just by giving his master a look!

Look! They're working together really well!

But he can't be high-profile. No matter how proud he is, he can't show it. He has to keep a low profile and act like usual!

Su Nanxi and Gao Yuling were busy with the soap shop. Mo Qinghe followed them for an hour, but felt he couldn't help. Remembering he needed to buy some things, he said he had to go out for a while.

Su Nanxi waved his hand and agreed. Mo Qinghe knew this town very well and shouldn't lose it. However, he was still worried, so he asked Xiao Wu to go with him.

Mo Qinghe was initially reluctant, but Su Nanxi said, "No way! If you get kidnapped, no one will come back to tell me! How am I supposed to know where to look for you!"

Mo Qinghe was amused. Seeing his wife's insistence, he agreed to go and come back quickly.

But once you go out, you can't control when you'll be back.

When Su Nanxi got busy, she forgot that she had a husband!

I was busy until the afternoon, and just as I was getting ready to go home, I suddenly remembered, oh no, my cheap husband still hasn't come back!

Didn't we say to go and come back quickly?

It's been half a day already, they should be back by now, even if they're slow!

Could something have happened?

Tsk! Is there anything that these two can't solve?

That's a big deal!

Su Nanxi slapped her forehead in frustration. If something had gone wrong, there would be no way to save her now!

Anyway, I have to go and see what's going on!

Seeing Su Nanxi suddenly rush out the door, Gao Yuling didn't have time to think and hurriedly followed her out.

"Wife! Where are you going?"

Su Nanxi was suddenly stopped. When she looked up, she saw that it was her husband!

She was terrified!

I looked it over several times and it was intact. Thank goodness, nothing's wrong!

After feeling relieved, I suddenly got angry. Why didn't he tell her? He didn't come back for half a day, didn't he know she was worried?

Su Nanxi glared at Xiao Wu beside her. Xiao Wu lowered his head, ignoring Su Nanxi's glare. He knew he was wrong and should have come back to tell her so that his master wouldn't worry!

But would the mistress really worry? When she's busy, she doesn't even recognize herself! Would she remember that her husband is missing?

Hmm! I have serious doubts!

But he couldn't say it; he was still alive and didn't want to expose his master's shortcomings!

Master, you may punish or scold him as you please. He did make a mistake, but please be lenient with him considering that he escorted his son-in-law back safely!

Mo Qinghe realized his mistake at this moment, and his momentum plummeted. He gently tugged at Su Nanxi's sleeve and whispered, "Wife, let's go back and talk about it, okay? There are too many people on the street, it's not a good look!"

OK!

It won't make a difference if we wait a little longer!

Alright! We're on the donkey cart now, and we're already on our way to the Mo family's house!

Let's talk about it properly!

Xiao Wu wanted to speak up, but after being given a look by Su Nanxi, he immediately wilted and shut his mouth.

In the end, Mo Qinghe confessed himself.

He knew he was in the wrong and promised to go and come back quickly, but he failed to do so!

He was indeed quick at buying things. He bought mostly books and related items. Once he entered a store, as long as he had enough money, he could pick up anything and leave immediately!

It doesn't take much time at all; at most, it only takes a little time when choosing things!

As he planned, he would buy the groceries, stop by to buy some pastries his wife liked, and then come back without wasting any time!

Unexpectedly, he encountered a constable. The constable, for some reason, saw him as if he had seen a lifeline, ran over, grabbed him, and begged him for help!

The constable said he had encountered a problem and wanted to ask him for advice, which wouldn't take up much of his time.

He couldn't refuse, so he told the constable that it wasn't illegal or criminal, and he would help. The constable swore that he was definitely not doing anything wrong!

And so, Mo Qinghe went to help, not to do anything bad, but to offer advice to the county magistrate!

This solution couldn't be come up with in just a few minutes, so it took half a day.

They were only allowed to come back after everything was finally sorted out.

That's roughly how it happened!

Of course, Mo Qinghe concealed one thing: he knew that constable!

Su Nanxi looked at Xiao Wu with a questioning look in her eyes, asking if the matter was true or false. Xiao Wu swallowed and nodded to indicate that she agreed with what Mo Qinghe said.

That's all he saw. As for whether there were any shady dealings behind the scenes, he had no idea for the time being.

Su Nanxi was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "Why did they suddenly approach you? There are so many people on the street! I'm a little puzzled!"

Mo Qinghe's heart skipped a beat. Did his wife know something?

I don't think so!

He did it very discreetly, no one will find out, it must be his wife deliberately trying to provoke him!

I can't let it slip out because I'm feeling guilty!

Besides, he wasn't planning to do anything bad; he just didn't want to tell his wife, otherwise she would definitely accuse him of being scheming!

Before Mo Qinghe could answer, Xiao Wu couldn't help but say, "There are quite a lot of people, but they are all common folk who have toiled in the fields and can't read a single word! The county magistrate is looking for someone who has studied, who is knowledgeable and experienced! Brother Mo is handsome and can be spotted in a crowd at a glance, so he will definitely be the first one they look for!"

In front of others, Xiao Wu always calls Mo Qinghe "Brother Mo the Third Brother" very fluently, without feeling awkward or uncomfortable saying it out loud!

Seeing that someone had spoken up for him, Mo Qinghe didn't say anything more. He winked at Su Nanxi and said, "That's it!"

Su Nanxi thought about it and realized that it made sense. When seeking advice, one should definitely look for someone with extensive knowledge, and a scholar should be the first choice!

I guess they knew Mo Qinghe, thought it was feasible, so they asked him to give it a try, since it didn't cost any money!

Sure enough, Xiao Wu started talking again, "They asked a lot of people, but none of them were satisfactory! They couldn't even answer the first question!"

You have to answer questions, and only if you pass will you have a chance?

"Of course! Quite a few scholars have tried it!"
