Baili Mingyue's words struck a nerve with Hu Lai. Was he looking for death or a beating? Couldn't he at least vent his anger first? He really wanted to spit blood on Hu Lai's handsome face. Just because someone's good-looking doesn't mean they're all that great!
Yun Lei shrugged, adopting a "not my problem" attitude.
The wind is getting strong, let's get out of here.
Hu Lai cursed, "He has no humanity when it comes to women!" Humph! This divine healer will remember this humiliation.
A hint of coldness flashed across Baili Mingyue's alluring peach blossom eyes; she was really looking forward to the big show this morning...
Bai Yueniang felt uneasy and kept making mistakes. She almost burned herself while cooking, leaving the girls completely bewildered.
"Sister Yue, are you feeling unwell?" Mo Qingcheng was speechless. Could it be...?
Bai Yueniang looked embarrassed, caught red-handed, and lowered her eyes: "Sister Mo, my heart is pounding and my eyelids are twitching. What's wrong?"
"I probably...didn't sleep well last night. I had some free time today, so I ate breakfast and took a nap." Mo Qingcheng's eyes flickered slightly. Bai Yueniang, ever observant, guessed what was going on...
Bai Yueniang took a deep breath, slightly relieved. It's good that everything's alright, it's good that everything's alright. Looking at Mo Qingcheng's busy figure, she felt an indescribable guilt. They were both women, how could there be such a difference?
Shangguan Yunxi and Xuanyuan Ying assisted, the two young girls working quickly and with smiles in their eyes.
Soon, the aroma of food filled the air, and men and women sat at separate tables. For the first time ever, the men's table was eerily quiet; the men, young and old, ate in silence, as if the world had lost a touch of color.
Mo Qingcheng glanced at Baili Mingyue and Yun Lei a few times. Their expressions were off; something was definitely up. Hehe…
Baili Mingyue remained expressionless, picked up her chopsticks, took a couple of bites, and lost interest. Hu Lai wore a sour face, with an arrogant expression that said, "Don't mess with me."
Yunlei grinned, then lowered his head to eat his rice. "Does he have to be so stingy?"
snort!
After dinner, Mo Qingcheng was bored and taught the children to write Arabic numerals. Before she knew it, an hour had passed. She glanced up and looked towards the door.
Aren't you coming yet?
Not coming?
Baili Mingyue, Yunlei, and Hulai were drinking tea and chatting not far away, appearing calm on the surface but inwardly somewhat annoyed.
Suddenly, an anxious figure came rushing in; who else could it be but Qi Yunshan?
Qi Yunshan was in a hurry, looking exhausted, with a scar on his arm, and a faint smell of blood wafted into his nostrils.
"Lady Mo, you must leave quickly! The county magistrate is leading three hundred disguised bandits into the village."
The crowd gasped in disbelief. Good heavens! The county magistrate was in cahoots with the robbers?
What was originally just speculation has now been confirmed.
good!
Very good!
Mo Qingcheng's eyes were slightly cold as she shrugged: "Brother Hu, please lead everyone to evacuate quickly."
"I..." Hu Lai glared fiercely at Yun Lei with a dark face: "Fine!"
"Yichen, you are the pillar of our family, take good care of everyone! Let's go!" Mo Qingcheng turned around and smiled at the young boy.
Shangguan Yichen was slightly taken aback, then nodded: "Don't hang up..."
"You're overthinking it..." Mo Qingcheng smiled, hugged Bai Zimo, ruffled Bai Yunfei's hair, gave her a few instructions, and handed several packets of medicine powder to Mu Wanqing.
The little girl's eyes lit up: "Mommy, if we encounter bad people, we don't need to worry?"
"Of course, practice makes perfect!"
"Yes, Mother, I know!" Mu Wanqing wasn't worried at all, and was thinking about how to improve the poison powder in her hands.
Mo Qingcheng clasped her hands in a fist salute to Qi Yunshan: "Officer Qi, I am deeply grateful. I have a favor to ask. I would like to trouble you to take care of the elderly, weak, women and children in the village."
Qi Yunshan stood there stunned. Mo Niangzi was afraid that she would be implicated.
