Chapter 76 Qi Mo Speaks

"No." Yun Fu answered without any guilt. She really didn't touch the corrupt official. She just touched his gold and silver.

She didn't move, and Jiang Cheng couldn't laugh anymore.

"The Dong family is colluding, bah, with the mayor of Xiluo City. I think they've also taken over the power of the Xie family. Aristocratic families like the Xie family are usually the most concerned about their reputation... You hit his brother-in-law, which is no different from hitting him! It's over. Why do I feel that this is not going well?"

Yun Fu was still as arrogant as ever: "Don't worry, if anything is going to end, it will be the Xie family that ends first."

Jiang Chengdu was on the verge of tears. "Princess, please don't underestimate the Xie family. They've been incredibly powerful in recent years, unmatched among the aristocratic families. Our eldest son, Xie Jin, is the youngest Minister of the Great Sheng, a third-rank official! If nothing unexpected happens, he'll be able to ascend to the position of Prime Minister in a few years. Think about it, without some talent, how could one climb so high so quickly?"

Qi Hanzhou didn't like it because Jiang Cheng kept praising other men in front of Yun Fu.

His handsome eyebrows knitted together slightly as he spoke, "I've had some contact with Xie Jin. He's average in education, but if I had to say what he's capable of, it's probably that he's quite good at flattering people."

Yun Fu glanced at him. Why did she feel that Qi Hanzhou had a lot of opinions about Xie Jin?

"Wait, didn't you and Xie Jin have a feud?"

"No, I'm not familiar with him. I just went to the same academy with him once, and he has always been the third in command." Qi Hanzhou said seriously.

Yun Fu asked curiously, "Who are the first and second?"

"You also know the second one, it's Chu Jingyan."

Yun Fu blinked: "Could it be you who is number one?"

Because only the first one would be so confident to say that the third one is just so-so.

Qi Hanzhou nodded in agreement.

Yun Fu sighed in her heart. This man had been stepping on Chu Jingyan's head, forcing a prince to be second in command for a thousand years.

No wonder Chu Jingyan is so petty and wants to hold a grudge against him.

Yun Fu glanced at the worried Jiang Cheng and comforted him: "Okay, I promise you, as long as the Xie family doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble for me, I won't take the initiative to provoke trouble."

Jiang Cheng was not comforted at all.

"Let's get going quickly to avoid any further complications."

——

The exiled team finally set out again.

This time, there was an extra carriage, a horse, and the Mu family's grandfather and grandson.

Mr. Mu didn't have much luggage, most of which was books.

When I felt a little better, I started teaching the three little kids to read.

Qi Yu and Mu Lingyun were in similar situations. They had both received some elementary education, read books like "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic", and could recognize some words.

Although Qi Nian is young, the girl is smart, articulate, and easy to teach.

Qi Mo's situation is rather special.

"Was this child born without the ability to speak?"

Yun Fu nuzzled Qi Mo's little head and replied, "There's nothing wrong with his body, and he's very smart. Just teach him according to normal enlightenment."

Yun Fu never regarded Qi Mo as a problematic child.

Qi Mo's condition was much better than when she first came here.

Although he still can't speak, his little face has obviously more expressions and his body's reactions are much faster than before.

He is slowly getting better.

And they need to give him enough time and patience.

"Okay, I understand." Mu Yong also liked these three sensible children very much. He would teach them as if they were his own grandsons and granddaughters.

After the four little kids finished their study, they carried their small backpacks and followed Yunfu’s example to stroll in the woods.

Yun Fu would not detain them, but just told them not to go too far.

Mu Lingyun had lived in the mountains with his grandfather since he was a child and was very familiar with the wild environment. When he found a pheasant feather, he concluded that there was a pheasant nearby.

When Qi Nian heard about pheasant, his eyes lit up: "Xiao Nian wants to eat meat! Let's go catch a big pheasant!"

The four little kids came back carrying a four-pound pheasant and a nest of pheasant eggs.

That momentum was very much like that of a young general who had just returned victorious from the battlefield.

"These four kids actually caught a pheasant! That's incredible!"

"How come we didn't encounter such a good thing?"

…

That big pheasant made the other prisoners envious.

Yun Fu was also curious about how these four little guys managed to catch such a difficult-to-catch pheasant.

"It was Brother Xiao Mo. He knocked the pheasant unconscious with a slingshot."

It was the first time that Qi Mo had caught such a large prey. He held his little head high with a cute expression asking for praise. His little mouth moved, and a very soft sound came out of his throat: "Gugu..."

Yun Fu knew how hard the little girl worked, and she didn't hesitate to speak. She lifted the little girl up and said, "Xiao Mo is awesome! Yes, you can say whatever you want to say in the future. Sister Yun loves to hear you talk."

The little girl was praised and became even happier. Encouraged, she opened her mouth again and uttered two words bit by bit: "Sister...Sister..."

"Yes, I am the older sister!"

Yun Fu pecked his little cheek.

Qi Nian, the little ball, also clamored for a kiss.

"Sister Yun, Xiao Nian'er also wants a kiss."

Yun Fu picked up the little pink ball beside her leg and gave it a kiss.

The little girl was very happy and giggled in her arms.

Qi Hanzhou's eyes gradually became moist as he listened to Yun Fu and the children's movements.

Dad and Mom, elder brother and second brother, if you can see this from heaven, you should be able to rest assured!

Xiaoyu and the others are all doing well now.

Because they have a very good third aunt.

For lunch, Yunfu made clay pot chicken.

Build a simple stove with stones and place a big pot on it.

First, stew a large pot of chicken, mushrooms and other side dishes, then put a row of golden corn tortillas on top to let the delicious chicken broth blend into the tortillas.

As soon as you open the lid of the pot, the fresh aroma will fill the air.

A group of people gathered around the pot, eating chicken and side dishes while gnawing on corn tortillas soaked in soup. It was such a pleasure.

Mu Yong spent the first half of his life traveling across the five kingdoms and tried all the delicacies in the world.

But I have never had a meal that can compare to the clay pot chicken today.

It's not just the taste, but also the homely atmosphere of everyone sitting together, talking and laughing.

There is a girl named Yunfu, who is in adversity but still remains so free and easy.

But this comfort is always short-lived.

"Princess, we are almost reaching Anbei City where the Xie family is. Why don't we take a detour?" Jiang Cheng suggested taking a detour to avoid the Xie family.

Unlike Jiang Cheng, who was almost in a state of anxiety, Yun Fu narrowed her eyes lazily: "This area is all the territory of the Xie family. If they really want to attack us, it's useless to take a detour."
