Fang Yidao was speechless. Lianjie was being incredibly reckless. A new carriage should cost at least seventy or eighty taels of silver, and his uncle had clearly said it couldn't be less than twenty taels, yet they were still selling it to…
Fang Yidao scratched his head sheepishly and looked apologetically at Mo Qingcheng: "Madam Mo, please wait a moment, I'll go check... whether the carriage has been sold yet?"
Mo Qingcheng nodded and started chatting with Fang Lian. The two, one big and one small, seemed quite close. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were long-lost sisters…
Shangguan Yichen narrowed his eyes: "Mother, let me go with Brother Fang."
"Okay!" Mo Qingcheng waved her little hand. Boys need to experience more. With a broader perspective, they will naturally learn how to deal with the world.
Shangguan Yichen was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected his mother to close the shop so readily.
Fang Yidao was caught in a dilemma. When he received a slightly threatening look from his little sister, he became incredibly timid.
Shangguan Yichen, with his aloof demeanor, headed straight for Zuixianlou with Fang Yidao...
Half an hour later, Fang Yidao returned excitedly in a carriage: "Lady Mo, it's done..."
Mo Qingcheng was slightly surprised, but remained calm. Seeing the young boy jump down from the carriage, she nodded and said, "Thank you, Manager Fang."
"Oh, pretty sister, are you leaving already? Lian'er will miss you." Fang Lian glanced at Shangguan Yichen with her watery eyes before looking away.
Mo Qingcheng was both amused and exasperated; so that's how it is.
Fang Yidao helped tie up the horse that Mo Qingcheng had intercepted. The two horses rode side by side, which would surely attract the envy of many.
After packing the items, Fang Yidao and Shangguan Yichen went to Lin's shop to pack up the things they had bought earlier and returned.
Mo Qingcheng's eyes flickered slightly as she casually tossed a pill to Fang Lian: "Little beauty, perhaps you can use it."
Fang Lian's hand trembled as she uncorked the bottle. Her eyes welled up with tears, and she knelt on the ground with a thud: "Pretty sister, do you take apprentices?"
“Not for now…” Mo Qingcheng turned around and smiled.
Shangguan Yichen boarded the carriage in a daze, and Mo Qingcheng drove off.
"Big brother... Mother is saved..." Fang Lian cried out loud.
Fang Yidao was bewildered, then belatedly realized that Mo Niangzi had given him the antidote, and his expression changed drastically: "Lian'er, let's go find our uncle..."
I used to think my uncle had lost out big time with those six taels of silver, but now it seems like my siblings made a killing...
Mo Qingcheng whistled, bought two steamers of buns, and slowly drove the carriage out of the city, unaware that a group of people were secretly following behind her.
Shangguan Yichen asked with concern, "Mother, aren't you being too high-profile?"
"Hmm, otherwise... how will the fish take the bait?" Mo Qingcheng's voice drifted into the carriage from outside, making Shangguan Yichen restless.
"Mother, I'll drive the carriage with you."
"When we get back, your mother will teach you how to ride a horse and drive a carriage. Be a good girl and take good care of our things. Wait and see what the show is about..." Mo Qingcheng ate her steamed bun with great interest, pondering that she was missing a driver.
It's like someone brings you a pillow when you're about to doze off—not bad at all!
"Boss, are you sure there's only a child in the car?" Pockmarked man asked cautiously, lowering his voice.
One-Eyed Dragon nodded: "Idiot, do you think I'd be wrong?"
"Boss, we're only robbing people, we won't kill them," the fat man repeated.
"Damn it, I know, stop talking nonsense. Don't believe that three grown men like us can't beat a little wench?" One-Eyed Dragon said with great bravado, and slapped Pockmarked Man across the face.
pock:"……"
Why am I always the one who gets hurt?
A moment later, three figures ran ahead along the path...
"Bang!"
A quarter of an hour later, the carriage crashed into a large rock, startling Shangguan Yichen.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
"No problem!"
Shangguan Yichen lifted the carriage curtain, his eyes narrowing...
