Qi Yuanwei and Mo Qingcheng parted on bad terms. The easygoing man didn't dare to utter a sound, while Madam Mo was quite imposing, daring to challenge the county magistrate.
Butler Qi silently lit a candle for his young master. "Great! The young master has finally fallen. He's young and naive. How can he see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain?"
What gift would the master and mistress give to Madam Mo to show their sincerity?
Qi Yuanwei was unaware that his every word and action had been twisted by the old butler, causing a series of troubles for Mo Qingcheng.
Mo Qingcheng turned around and met Bai Yueniang's gloating gaze, her face turning black with exasperation.
"Sister Mo, you are so charming, even the county magistrate is impressed, hehe..." Bai Yueniang laughed with a face that looked like she wanted to be punched.
Mo Qingcheng rolled her eyes: "Yue'er, next time Brother Bai writes, you probably won't want to read it, right?"
"Pfft!" Bai Yueniang almost coughed up a mouthful of blood that pierced her feet, and glared angrily at Mo Qingcheng.
Mo Qingcheng raised an eyebrow with a wicked smile, hummed a little tune, and strode away, making Bai Yueniang stomp her feet in anger.
Liu Cuihua and Third Grandma shook their heads with smiles, "Youth is truly wonderful..."
Li Changgeng told the villagers that the county magistrate would be coming to harvest rice the next day, and every household got busy. With the real money, they could exchange it for silver and build houses.
Mo Qingcheng sat by the river, her heart as still as water.
When Shangguan Yichen arrived, he saw a graceful figure reflected in the shimmering river.
The woman rested her chin on her hands, her mind blank, and occasionally splashed her feet in the water.
Shangguan Yichen's face flushed red: "Mother, you've been rude..."
"..." Mo Qingcheng, who was innocently caught in the crossfire, blinked her eyes in grievance: "Mother isn't a little girl..."
Shangguan Yichen's face immediately turned icy: "Mother, you are a married woman."
"Pfft! Cough cough..." Mo Qingcheng choked on her saliva and glanced at him with displeasure: "What's wrong?"
"Hmm, how long will it take to leave here?" The young boy stood on the riverbank, his eyes flickering slightly.
"At most one year..."
"Too late."
"Six months..."
"good!"
The two, one big and one small, exchanged a smile, then Shangguan Yichen turned his head away, reverting to his icy demeanor.
"Boss, smile more. A person can't live in hatred forever. Life is short. Some people pass you by, while others you'll spend your whole life with..." Mo Qingcheng stopped there. Was it easy for her? The younger members hadn't turned evil recently, but there was still a vague unease...
Shangguan Yichen seemed to be deep in thought, "It's time to eat..."
"Um……"
The mother and son walked side by side on their way home, whispering to each other, a sight that drew envy from onlookers. They weren't blood-related, but their bond was stronger than that of a biological mother and son…
After dinner, Shangguan Yichen and Mu Yunchuan went to the study together, which surprised Mo Qingcheng.
"Boss, Fourth Brother, what's wrong?"
"Mother, are you hiding something from us?" Mu Yunchuan stared at Mo Qingcheng with a displeased expression.
"Oh? How do you know? Where did Chuan'er get that idea?" Mo Qingcheng's eyes lit up. The little guy had a keen eye, but she didn't bother to answer.
Shangguan Yichen said with a serious face, "Mother, my fourth brother and I suspect that your decision to send Uncle Bai out isn't so simple. We are men..."
Mo Qingcheng's lips curled into a smile: "Then tell me, what did Mother ask Uncle Bai to do?"
"Find someone!"
"My mother has no one of her own..."
The two brothers exchanged a glance. Shangguan Yichen nodded slightly, while Mu Yunchuan took a deep breath: "Mother, actually, it would be more suitable to find a child..."
Mo Qingcheng was shocked. The two smiling little ones had analyzed the situation accurately and were very intelligent.
The two brothers were filled with unease, and hesitated to speak.
Mo Qingcheng changed the subject, her face serious: "I'm leaving this matter to you. My life and fortune are tied to you. How about it?"
