The fat man rolled his eyes: "Boss, that's so unfair! Madam Bai is also our... well, our madam..."
"Are you stupid? She insisted on coming out herself. If something happens, Madam Mo can't blame us entirely." One-Eyed Dragon glared at Fatty. "Don't talk nonsense. Let's go back now."
"Boss, I'm blind, you go back by yourself." With that, the fat man chased after him into the dense forest.
One-Eyed Dragon stomped his foot in anger, drove off, and thought, "Fine, I'll go. Who's afraid of who? I'll just drive around in circles a bit more, huh..."
Leaving aside the fact that the one-eyed dragon was dissatisfied with Bai Yueniang and fled in his carriage, and the fat man's arduous pursuit, let's just say that Bai Yueniang ran into the dense forest, lost her sense of direction, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and was slightly out of breath.
I should have stayed home today. I definitely didn't check the almanac. It would have been much safer to go to the construction site. Waaah... Sister Mo, someone please save me.
Bai Yueniang continued forward, her steps uneven, growing increasingly alarmed as she went. The lush foliage blocked out the sky, and the faint roars of beasts could be heard.
Could there be a big insect?
Bai Yueniang trembled in fright, "Waaah, Sister Mo... I was wrong..."
For some reason, Mo Qingcheng was restless, her brows furrowed slightly. She left a message, returned home, summoned Bai Yi and Shangguan Yichen, and rode straight to the town.
"Mother, has something happened to Aunt Yue?" Shangguan Yichen asked, not knowing what was going on, seeing Mo Qingcheng leaving in a hurry.
Mo Qingcheng nodded: "Mother has a vague unease in her heart, let's go look for her. These are turbulent times, who knows how many people dislike Mother, what if..." What if they capture Yue'er?
Shangguan Yichen's face was ashen: "Mother, aren't there still One-Eyed Dragon and Fatty?"
"Boss, you're counting on them? Fatty's ability to find people is top-notch, but his skills are just so-so. One-Eyed Dragon has always had some complaints about Yue'er, and Mother noticed it a long time ago."
"Mother, are you trying to catch a big fish by keeping a one-eyed dragon?" Shangguan Yichen had already guessed that Mo Qingcheng must have her reasons.
Mo Qingcheng nodded: "Today is probably the day when their true colors will be revealed. Boss, you can't judge a book by its cover. Sometimes it's better to keep those people with ulterior motives around than to let them cause trouble outside. Otherwise, they'll be constantly on people's minds."
“Mother is absolutely right, that is because Mother has the ability…” Shangguan Yichen seemed to be thinking, riding a horse with Bai Yi. The little boy sat upright on the horse’s back, his heart sinking.
"Mother, if only we had Swift Stones..." Shangguan Yichen learned from Bai Yifan that some patriarchs of large families possessed Swift Stones.
Mo Qingcheng was slightly taken aback. Yes, in this era there were no telephones or smartwatches, bracelets or similar things. Even if she had them, she wouldn't dare to take them out, otherwise she would be regarded as a monster.
"Mother, think of a way to equip everyone with a Swift Stone from now on." Mo Qingcheng's eyes were dark and unfathomable. It seemed that she needed to return to her original position as soon as possible in order to get everything she wanted and also avenge the original owner.
Shangguan Yichen smiled bitterly to himself, a cold smile curving his lips. The family's resources had all been monopolized by his second uncle, whom he had never even met...
The young boy didn't take Mo Qingcheng's words to heart. A single Xunshi stone was rare, and everyone was equipped with one. Who knew when they would be able to get one?
Two horses galloped past, stirring up a gust of wind, and the three walked along, keeping an eye on the scenery along the roadside.
"Mother, isn't that our carriage?" Shangguan Yichen suddenly exclaimed.
Mo Qingcheng glanced at it, a cold smile curving her lips: "Yes, it really is..."
