Are you alright?
"Madam Mo..."
"Mother..."
"Sister Mo..."
The crowd swarmed around her, and Mo Qingcheng pushed Mo Qingyang away.
Qi Yuanwei's eyes were deep, he seemed about to speak but hesitated, someone had beaten him to it...
Shangguan Yichen yanked Mo Qingcheng out of Mo Qingyang's arms, his face icy cold.
"Mother..."
Looking at her son's resentful little eyes, Mo Qingcheng was speechless, wishing she could slap Mo Qingyang across the face. "Am I that stupid? Can't I dodge?"
That jerk must have done it on purpose?
The instigator, oblivious to his own actions, sneered, "Lady Mo, I saved you, how am I supposed to repay you... ah..."
Before she could finish speaking, a flash of silver light appeared, and three silver needles simultaneously struck Mo Qingcheng's face, throat, and left chest.
Mo Qingyang's eyes changed slightly, and he started to shout, "Lady Mo, we were one family five hundred years ago, how could you bear to harm my face? Don't you like me anymore?"
"puff!"
"Cough cough..."
Bai Yueniang couldn't help but burst out laughing; Young Master Hu really deserved a beating.
Mo Qingcheng almost choked on her saliva. She glared angrily at Mo Qingyang, indicating that she was fine, and then pushed through the crowd to the scene of the incident.
A heavy wooden plank had shattered into several pieces, and two workers were trembling and kneeling on the ground.
After questioning them, Master Qiu and Master Fang looked quite grim. It turned out that one of them, named Li Hu, was the one with the problem.
Li Hu was sick last night and, fearing he wouldn't get paid, lied and said he hadn't eaten breakfast. After working for only a short while, he felt weak all over, his legs went weak, and he could barely keep going.
Someone noticed that Li Hu's face was pale and asked in a low voice if he was sick. Li Hu shook his head repeatedly, "How could that be?"
Unbeknownst to others, Li Hu gritted his teeth and persevered. But then, his hand slipped, almost causing a major disaster. He was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to get up no matter what he did.
The two craftsmen had no choice but to stop and deal with the matter. Everyone's faces darkened; what if Madam Mo got angry and sent them their wages?
Master Fang's face grew increasingly grim: "Madam Mo, it's all my fault for not disciplining them properly."
“Master Fang, this matter cannot be blamed on you. Since Li Hu is sick, he should go and rest…” A fierce glint flashed in Mo Qingcheng’s eyes as she resolved to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Luckily it was me just now; if it had been the children, wouldn't they have been filled with regret?
Master Fang was shocked: "Madam Mo, this is absolutely unacceptable."
“Master Fang, thank you for your hard work, Master Qiu. It’s most appropriate to leave this matter to me…” Mo Qingcheng raised an eyebrow, leaving no room for refusal.
Master Fang opened his mouth, hesitated, took a deep breath, and called everyone to get to work.
Li Hu's face instantly drained of color: "Madam Mo, please have mercy, I... I'm just afraid I won't get my wages..."
Mo Qingcheng waved her hand, and a black shadow flashed by. Before Li Hu could finish speaking, he was grabbed by Hei Yi.
Li Hu was startled: "Madam Mo, Qiu Fang has been released..."
"What wrong have you done? Aren't you sick? I'll have someone take a look at you!" Mo Qingcheng sneered. Trying to play tricks on me, her instructor? You're still too green.
Hei Yi wanted nothing more than to throw Li Hu to the ground. "You bastard, how dare you threaten Madam? Confess now, who sent you in here?"
Everyone was instantly in an uproar. What?
Did they sneak in?
How is that possible?
Are you kidding me?
wrong!
Someone slapped their forehead and exclaimed, "Damn it, Li Hu has only been here for half a month!"
"Yes, I remember now. We rescued Li Hu about two weeks ago, and since he behaved well, we brought him to the construction site..."
Master Qiu and Fang Shi exchanged a glance. Oh no, they'd been set up…
