"Young Master Qi, please. I know you so well, I would never lie to you. I'll help you earn more money to get married. Isn't that great?" Mo Qingcheng's words were both hurtful and cutting.
Qi Yuanwei glared at Mo Qingcheng, then huffed and puffed as he signed his name.
The old butler was on the verge of tears. "Young master, how could you be so stupid? What if it was a contract of servitude?"
Mo Qingcheng smiled and put the contract away, then asked, "Young Master Qi, you have such a generous heart. Aren't you afraid I'll sell you off?"
"..." Qi Yuanwei, the contract's already been signed, so just sell it...
Shangguan Yichen suddenly glanced at Qi Yuanwei, then casually looked away, a smile curving his lips. He and Mo Qingcheng mounted their horses and rode away, raising a cloud of dust.
Qi Yuanwei stood at the entrance of the county government office, a strange feeling rising in his heart that made him increasingly irritable.
The old butler's heart was broken, and he hesitated, unable to speak: "Young Master..."
"You want to stop me from making a fortune?" Qi Yuanwei gave him an impatient look, turned around and left, leaving the old butler standing bewildered at the door...
Mo Qingcheng hummed an unknown tune: "Boss, learn from this, different people require different methods, unless you're standing at a height that no one can reach..."
"Mm." For the first time ever, Shangguan Yichen did not object and obediently agreed.
Mo Qingcheng pursed her lips: "Understand?"
"Um."
Mo Qingcheng: "..."
What do I know? Turns out I was just being delusional... Why is being a stepmother so difficult?
When the mother and son returned to the village, Li Changgeng and others were having a conflict with a group of people. Who else could it be but Liu Changming?
"Madam Mo, you're back?" Sun Yunhui shouted as soon as he saw Mo Qingcheng.
"Sister Mo, you're finally back! Something terrible has happened." Bai Yueniang said in a low voice with a hint of schadenfreude, "That bastard Liu Changming brought people to cause trouble."
"Hmm, you've come at just the right time..." Mo Qingcheng glanced at him coldly, saving them from jumping around one by one and mixing them all together.
"Lady Ruyi!" Li Changgeng looked at Mo Qingcheng with a troubled expression, as if pleading for help.
It's good that Madam Mo is back. Who can come and who can't should be decided by Madam Mo.
Mo Qingcheng nodded slightly. This group was incredibly fast! Did they arrive by rocket? Or…?
“Madam Mo, you’ve come at the right time. I heard you’re going to change your name to Ruyi Town. I’d like to have the position of town mayor; I have more experience with that.” Liu Changming pushed through the crowd and stepped forward.
Mo Qingcheng laughed in exasperation, but before she could speak, the young boy beside her couldn't stand it any longer and swept his cold gaze over her: "Who gave you the nerve?"
"You brat, what business is it of yours? When adults are talking, don't interfere. Get out of the way." Liu Changming glared angrily at Shangguan Yichen.
Shangguan Yichen's lips curled into a cold smile: "Just because I am the young master of Ruyi Manor!"
Everyone: "..."
Young Master is mighty!
"You...you're just a kid, so unrestrained. Madam Mo, this matter is settled. Hurry up and have someone arrange courtyards for us. I'm exhausted." Liu Changming didn't take Shangguan Yichen seriously at all.
Can you really take a kid's words seriously?
Mo Qingcheng smiled without saying a word and glanced at Shangguan Yichen.
The young boy sneered: "This young master of the manor really does have that right! If you want to settle down in Ruyi Village, you have to accumulate 100 points."
Shangguan Yichen's words caused a great stir, and everyone was discussing it. In particular, the people brought by Liu Changming were dumbfounded.
"Lady Mo, what nonsense is your little brat spouting?"
"That's right, Madam Mo, we've come to settle in your village, who's going to give you any face? Don't be so ungrateful, okay?"
"Lady Mo, don't think that just because His Majesty has bestowed upon you the title of Lady Ruyi, you're superior to everyone else. Everyone knows who's true colors."
"Exactly, what's with the pretense?"
"Shut up! If you dare to slander your mother again, do you believe I'll have the soldiers arrest you? If you don't believe me, go to the county government and see the notice! The settlement policy for the entire Ruyi Manor is the same!"
Shangguan Yichen roared, and the noise stopped abruptly...
