Meanwhile, Marin left in a huff, increasingly dissatisfied with Qi Yuanwei. "He's only been here a few days and he's already been bewitched by that vixen. All my previous efforts have been wasted."
How could this be? Marin wrote a note, stuffed it into a specially made small bamboo tube, tied it to the leg of the carrier pigeon, and a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.
The homing pigeon flapped its wings and disappeared in the blink of an eye...
The officials were extremely busy, going from house to house, with special staff to register and verify the information before distributing the money on the spot. There were also special personnel to load and transport the money.
One after another, official vehicles set off from Nanping Village, heading straight for the county government office, escorted by soldiers, creating a spectacular scene.
For safety's sake, Qi Yuanwei sent out his bodyguards, including two secret guards, just in case.
The old housekeeper smiled like an aunt. The young master had grown up overnight. Not bad, not bad. Marriage was just around the corner...
The ordeal lasted two days before it finally ended. The villagers of Nanping, clutching their silver coins, felt them burning hot. An old man wept with joy; not only had he survived the famine, but he had also found shelter and earned money…
If we were to flee famine every year, we wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing.
Several people looked at Mo Qingcheng simultaneously, and, having nothing to repay her with, kowtowed in gratitude.
"Thank you, Madam Mo!"
Mo Qingcheng was both amused and exasperated, and told everyone to get up quickly. "What kind of behavior is this, magistrate?"
"Please rise, everyone. I only did what I could and should do. Your happiness today is the result of your own hard work. Only by working together can we build a better Nanping Village..."
Everyone was deeply moved. Madam Mo was absolutely right. A sense of superiority is never given by others; it is earned through one's own hard work and abilities.
Qi Yuanwei seemed to be deep in thought, his state of mind subtly changing...
Bai Ziming warmly invited Qi Yuanwei to stay for dinner, and the old butler was overjoyed, urging his young master to eat before going back.
Qi Yuanwei was slightly taken aback, then nodded awkwardly. An hour later, he and the old steward, along with two guards, rode away on horseback.
Bai Zimo sighed softly, "Oh, Mother, it's so late and the road is very dark. Will Uncle Magistrate be in danger?"
Mo Qingcheng's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly comforted him, "No, it's getting late, go wash up and go to bed."
"Oh..." The little guy looked worried; how could he possibly sleep? For some reason, the county magistrate seemed...
The little one tilted his head and pouted, looking incredibly cute. Mo Qingcheng was speechless: "Mo Mo, be good. Mommy will ask Brother Bai to go and take a look..."
"Really?" Bai Ziming excitedly hugged Mo Qingcheng's neck, planted a kiss on her cheek, giggled, and ran away.
Completely bewildered, Mo Qingcheng: "..."
You little rascal, have you changed your mind?
Shangguan Yichen frowned slightly: "Mother, Fifth Brother is acting a bit strangely."
"Yes, Mother knows... Eldest son, what are your thoughts?" Mo Qingcheng smiled as she looked at the young boy.
Shangguan Yichen clenched his fists: "Could it be that Fifth Brother's mind has been controlled? Or that he has been poisoned?"
"If I'm not mistaken, they've been poisoned by a curse..." Mo Qingcheng's eyes turned cold. How could there be such a bizarre thing in the world?
"Mother, are you saying that someone wants to use another person to do your dirty work?" A fierce glint flashed in the young boy's eyes, and his whole body was covered in a layer of ice.
Mo Qingcheng raised her eyes, glanced at the dark night sky, and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips: "Don't be hasty, the show has only just begun..."
"But, Mother, my fifth brother..." is still young.
"Big brother, this is child's play. Even Qing'er can cure this kind of poison, let alone Mother? How much do you not trust Mother?" Mu Wanqing looked disgusted and glared at Shangguan Yichen.
Shangguan Yichen: "..."
Was I rejected?
