The young boy's chilling words drifted into Gou Sheng's wife's ears, startling her so much that she screamed and covered her ears tightly.
Li Changfeng's wife, Wang Meili, and Wang Daniu's wife both looked disgusted, stepped back, and turned to leave.
The gossip surrounding the plastic flowers has thus come to an end...
Back home, Bai Yueniang and the children surrounded them, asking all sorts of questions, while Baili Mingyue and her servant were automatically ignored and had no presence at all.
The three one-eyed brothers were startled and tried to make themselves as inconspicuous as possible. "No, I'll have to find out who this guy is from Li Ergou later. He doesn't look like a good person; we can't afford to mess with him..."
Baili Mingyue swept her cold gaze over them, and the one-eyed dragon fell silent, while the pockmarked man and the fat man immediately knelt down.
Mo Qingcheng turned around, a smile playing on her lips: "Guard Long, you may go and rest."
"Yes, thank you, Madam..." The one-eyed man stammered, grabbed the two brothers, turned and ran as if chased by some ferocious beast.
Bai Yueniang was slightly taken aback, stole a glance at Baili Mingyue, and asked awkwardly, "Sister Mo, your cousin..."
"Come exchange for silver..."
Baili Mingyue, who was innocently caught in the crossfire: "..."
Baili Fengyun's lips twitched. His master had no authority whatsoever in front of Lady Mo; he was unworthy of being a man...
Baili Mingyue almost couldn't help but want to strangle the First Guard, what kind of ridiculous plot was she imagining?
Bai Yueniang brought over tea and gave the children a wink. Everyone withdrew and quietly watched the commotion. On the surface, they were all busy with their own things, but in reality, their movements were mechanical and they seemed somewhat absent-minded.
Mo Qingcheng smiled and said, "Baili, you wouldn't happen to be here because of our settlement, would you?"
"..." Baili Mingyue's eye twitched. A smart person doesn't beat around the bush. Just saying... that's all...
Mo Qingcheng's fingers tapped idly on the table, and Baili Mingyue felt a nameless irritation rising within her, a threatening surge of anger.
"Speak..."
Baili Mingyue stared into Mo Qingcheng's bright eyes: "You will say yes to me, won't you?"
"Hmm...it depends on your performance..." Mo Qingcheng stretched out her hand and made a gesture of twisting banknotes.
Baili Mingyue's eyelids twitched instantly. She understood immediately, took out a silver note from her bosom, and placed it in Mo Qingcheng's palm.
Mo Qingcheng's eyes crinkled into a smile. She weighed it in her hand, then tucked it into her bosom. "Damn, that's incredibly extravagant, five thousand taels..."
"Come with me to save someone..."
"Deal!" Mo Qingcheng took a sip of tea: "Conserve your energy, and wait for the darkest night..."
The two chatted casually for a few more minutes, then Mo Qingcheng quickly put away the silver notes, made a heart shape with her hands, and drifted away.
Baili Mingyue: "..."
I touched my face for no reason. Was I being disliked?
Mo Qingcheng found Bai Yueniang and gave her some instructions, saying solemnly, "Yueniang, I have something to do and will be away for a few days. I'll leave tonight. Everything at home is in your hands. Here are one hundred taels of silver notes for emergencies. The day after tomorrow, I'll have Yichen and Guard Long take you shopping in town."
Bai Yueniang asked solemnly, "Sister Mo, is it really necessary to go? Won't it be dangerous?"
Mo Qingcheng patted her shoulder: "Money doesn't fall from the sky. I'll gather some herbs while I'm at it, just in case..."
"But... Sister Mo..."
"Don't worry, after dinner I'll go talk to Sister Cuihua. If anything happens, the village chief and clan chief will help. And with Dad around, you can handle it..."
“Alright, leave the family to me, Sister Mo. Don’t worry, I will take good care of the children and this family.” Bai Yueniang nodded firmly, clenching her fists.
"I disagree!"
