Li Ergou stumbled and came panting, having lost one of his shoes.
Everyone was shocked. What had happened? Li Ergou was a scoundrel, and Li Dagou was even worse. How could he have been beaten up like this?
Mo Qingcheng and Shangguan Yichen left the house almost one after the other.
"Madam, there are thieves on West Street... East Street... and more than one." Li Ergou gasped for breath, his face filled with anxiety: "They... they all know kung fu..."
"Boss, let's go!" Mo Qingcheng pulled Shangguan Yichen straight towards West Street, followed closely by a white figure that flashed by.
"Hey, Sister Mo, wait a minute! We'll go with you." Bai Yueniang reacted a beat too late; she tried to follow, but the figure had almost disappeared...
"Take good care of the house, I'll rescue you in a bit." Mo Qingcheng's voice faded away in the night wind.
Bai Yueniang stamped her foot, turned around, and met Bai Ziming's wet gaze, her heart melting.
"Ahem... Mo Mo, Aunt Yue will carry you to sleep..."
"This is what Aunt Yue said..." For the first time ever, the little guy didn't argue with Bai Yue Niang and instead opened his arms for a hug.
Bai Yueniang had no idea about all that; she was immersed in joy that the little guy had finally accepted her.
Very good……
At the same time, the three one-eyed brothers also rushed over upon hearing the news, just as they were chasing the thief on East Street.
"Mother, could they be using this as a diversionary tactic?" Shangguan Yichen asked, worried about his younger siblings.
Mo Qingcheng raised an eyebrow: "There's been progress. Don't worry, Mother has already dug the trap..."
"But...no, Mother, what do you mean?" Shangguan Yichen belatedly realized that his mother was doing this on purpose, perhaps to mislead the thieves.
Congratulations, you got it right.
Mo Qingcheng swept her cold gaze over them. Trying to take advantage of the rice-fish-duck system? Why don't you just fly to the moon?
The young boy breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that his mother knew what was going on.
West Street was in complete chaos. Someone yelled, waking up the old and young, and they all rushed over, making it impossible to find a place to stand.
When Mo Qingcheng arrived with Shangguan Yichen, a group of men were arguing heatedly with a group of thieves.
"The lady has arrived..." someone shouted from the crowd, and everyone quickly made way for her.
Mo Qingcheng walked forward with a dark face. Oh, it's an old acquaintance.
Chawell, a bodyguard beside Davina, and a dozen or so armed guards behind him, were locked in a stalemate.
"Madam Mo, these people are here to steal rice. We must not let them get away."
"Yes, we absolutely will not let them go!"
"Madam, the rice we have worked so hard to grow must not be coveted by outsiders."
Mo Qingcheng waved her hand, gesturing for a pause, and the surroundings fell silent.
"Let me ask you, what brings you here?" Mo Qingcheng sized up Chawell, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Is your princess up to her old tricks again?"
Chaviel was speechless: "Madam, please be magnanimous and take us in."
The hearts of the guards jumped again.
"Speak up, what exactly happened?" Mo Qingcheng encouraged everyone with her eyes to speak up.
Chawell was speechless, his expression somewhat unnatural.
Mo Qingcheng raised an eyebrow: "Oh? What, does Guard Cha have something he can't say about?"
"No...no...cough cough..." Chawell's eyes darted around, and he shook his head repeatedly.
"What does your princess mean?" Mo Qingcheng's eyes flickered slightly.
Under the threat of his companions, Chavel slowly began to speak: "Madam, you...listen to us..."
Mo Qingcheng was exasperated. She rubbed her temples and gestured for Chawell to be concise.
A short while later, Chaviel exploded: "Madam, it's not what you think..."
