Qi Yuanwei frowned slightly: "Madam Mo, please wait!"
"Farewell!" Mo Qingcheng clasped her hands in a fist salute, took the little boy's hand, and turned to leave.
Liu Cuihua nudged Li Changgeng with her elbow: "Let's go, sir."
"Oh, oh..." Liu Changgeng came to his senses and quickly chased after them with Liu Cuihua.
Qi Yuanwei: "..."
Could it be that I, the magistrate, have made a mistake?
"Magistrate, hurry up and bring Madam Mo back! The Imperial Inspector and the Prime Minister have powerful backers..." The old steward beside Qi Yuanwei was heartbroken. His young master's pretentiousness would ruin everything.
Madam Mo is here to bring you official promotion...
Qi Yuanwei frowned: "Old Qi, could it be that I... am wrong?"
The old butler sighed softly, "Young Master can make his own decision..."
Qi Yuanwei: "..."
Mo Qingcheng turned around, raised an eyebrow and glanced at Qi Yuanwei, then turned and got into the carriage.
Shangguan Yichen frowned slightly, a layer of fierceness appearing in the young boy's icy eyes: "Mother..."
"It's alright, boss. You have to understand that just giving in all the time will only embolden others to take advantage of you."
Liu Cuihua and Li Changgeng had just boarded the carriage when they overheard Mo Qingcheng's words and seemed to be deep in thought.
Liu Cuihua slapped her thigh: "Mo family girl, is your magistrate doing this on purpose? Trying to claim all the credit?"
Liu Changgeng tried to stop her, but he was too slow. His wife was so outspoken; he didn't know how many people she would offend.
“Mother, I understand…” Shangguan Yichen nodded, keeping Mo Qingcheng’s words firmly in mind.
Liu Cuihua and Li Changgeng were extremely worried, and they both fed Mo Qingcheng their concern.
Mo Qingcheng waved her hand, wanting to bestow some credit upon the county magistrate. It wasn't about losing him, so perhaps… she could give it to the imperial inspector? Or maybe to Baili…
Mo Qingcheng tapped her fingertips on the small table intermittently, while the others remained silent, watching her nervously.
"Pfft! Cough cough... Sister-in-law, Village Chief, relax, relax, don't worry, we have strong backing. Come on, let me take you to a restaurant to calm your nerves..." Mo Qingcheng waved her hand and ordered the one-eyed dragon to go directly to Zuixianlou.
The one-eyed man had been guarding the carriage and had seen everything, but he dared not go up without the lady's permission...
Mo Qingcheng was preoccupied with improving farming tools and lost her attention, unaware of the commotion outside.
"Mother, be careful." A small figure rushed over, and a hint of panic flashed in Shangguan Yichen's eyes.
Mo Qingcheng pushed the little boy back to Liu Cuihua, saying, "Sister-in-law, don't move around."
Liu Cuihua nodded blankly, shielding Shangguan Yichen with her body. She was just a worthless person, thick-skinned and tough, so a little injury didn't matter to her.
Li Changgeng held a dagger in his hand, standing in front of Liu Cuihua and Shangguan Yichen, ready to strike at any moment.
Mo Qingcheng flashed out of the carriage, drew her long sword, and began to fight the black-clad man who had descended from the sky.
One-Eyed Dragon's expression changed drastically: "Fatty, you protect the young master and leave quickly, I'll go help Madam."
"Alright! Second brother, you must come back alive. Even if you're injured, we'll take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days," the fat man grumbled.
"Get lost!" One-Eyed Dragon wished he could kick the fat man, jump off the carriage, and rush into the crowd of men in black.
Mo Qingcheng swept her cool gaze across the scene and caught sight of the one-eyed dragon: "Prepare to reap the rewards!"
"Yes, Madam!" The one-eyed man was eager to try; the madam was about to unleash her ultimate move...
Haha!
With poison in hand, I can roam the world freely.
Mo Qingcheng was too lazy to waste time. Eating was the most important thing in the world. Anyone who blocked this instructor's meal would be punished no matter how far away they were!
The one-eyed man stared in disbelief, and in the blink of an eye, the men in black lay sprawled on the ground.
"What are you standing there for? Do it..."
