Feng Yong's secret actions alarmed the Imperial Inspector of Eight Provinces. Those who had grudges against Feng Yong in life watched from the sidelines, feeling extremely gratified.
They thought the imperial court would find the real culprit, but unexpectedly, the imperial inspector investigated thoroughly and found out all sorts of crimes committed by Feng Yong since he took office. He was so angry that he smashed three tables.
On the third day, notices were posted everywhere, and Feng Yong's reputation was completely ruined. The county magistrate's wife fell seriously ill and nearly died. Feng Wuliang's sister, Feng Yong's favorite concubine, was given a bowl of poison by the county magistrate's wife and died instantly...
The moon rose above the willow branches, and Bai Limingyue, dressed in white, stood with his back to Mo Qingcheng, his expression unreadable: "Ten days later, someone will come to fetch you across the Qin River."
“Baili…” Mo Qingcheng stepped forward silently, gently placed a porcelain bottle in Baili Mingyue’s palm, and drifted away.
After a long while, Baili Mingyue turned around, a sense of loss crossing her heart. She casually opened the porcelain bottle, her eyes narrowing in shock. This was…
Yun Lei and Hu Lai watched the white figure disappear into the twilight, their hearts heavy, especially Yun Lei, whose face was bruised.
“Let’s… go too…” Hu Lai patted Yun Lei on the shoulder, the two exchanged a glance, and quietly left.
The next morning, Mo Qingcheng acted as if nothing had happened, her mind as calm as still water. After breakfast, she went up the mountain with Bai Yueniang and the children.
Bai Yueniang hesitated several times, her heart filled with worry.
"Sister Mo, are you alright?" Bai Yueniang asked anxiously.
"Hmm?" Mo Qingcheng tilted her head, puzzled, her eyes sparkling. "Sister Yue, are you referring to Doctor Hu and the others?"
Bai Yueniang nodded awkwardly: "Sister Mo..."
"All good things must come to an end, and everyone has their own mission..." Mo Qingcheng murmured as she dug for wild vegetables.
Bai Yueniang murmured to herself, her mind suddenly clearing: "Sister Mo, thank you!"
"We're family, why all this thanking? Since you don't mind calling me 'sister,' from now on we're sisters." A pair of timid eyes were reflected in Mo Qingcheng's eyes.
Bai Yueniang nodded firmly: "No matter what, I'll follow you wherever you go with my two daughters! Don't you dare complain!"
“Yes, Aunt Mo, you are our dear aunt.” Xuan Yuan Ying, innocent and naive, interrupted.
Bai Ziming pouted and stumbled into Mo Qingcheng's arms: "Mother is Momo's."
The little guy's serious expression made everyone burst into laughter. Shangguan Yichen awkwardly turned his face away. Whose silly little brother is this? Hurry up and take him away!
The children breathed a sigh of relief and started chatting. Bai Ziming and Bai Yunfei's giggles echoed through the mountains and forests, filling the air with happiness.
Bai Yueniang and her two children were infected by the virus, letting loose and having smiles in their eyes and brows...
Although Li Changgeng and Sun Yunhui did not know the specifics of what had happened, they learned from Mo Qingcheng that there was hope for them to cross the river, and their hearts were filled with mixed feelings.
Liu Cuihua couldn't help but sigh: "Honey, what do you mean by Mo Niangzi's man..."
“My dear wife, Mo is talking nonsense and ruining Mo Niangzi’s reputation. Quickly stop your little schemes…” Li Changgeng’s mother, who had overheard her daughter-in-law’s meaning, quickly stopped her.
Liu Cuihua blushed and coughed lightly, "Mother, I know, I just... thought about it..."
Grandma Li shook her head. Her daughter-in-law was good in every way, except for one thing: she coveted other people's wives...
Liu Cuihua smiled bitterly. "Can't I even think about it?" she thought. "Who wouldn't want to marry such a virtuous and capable young woman?"
It's all my fault for not being a man, otherwise...
