When Su Nanxi heard that familiar voice, he thought, "Isn't that the ungrateful guy?"
Tsk tsk! How come he's everywhere?
Let's hide first. This guy is always provoking people. He doesn't even know his own limitations. He dares to mess with anyone. If we don't take precautions, we might get dragged into his mess again.
Grandma Mo and Mo Yunmei didn't dare to breathe, covering their mouths tightly. They didn't dare to object as Su Nanxi pulled them away. After all, people are afraid of dying!
Neither of them had ever encountered this situation before, and they were truly startled!
Master Chen and his companion were honorably wounded and bleeding, their hair disheveled, yet they still rushed past, clearly having been chased and beaten!
After Su Nanxi and the other two had hidden themselves, Chen Shiye and his companion walked past from the front.
Gao Yuchen grinned and said angrily, "They're just taking advantage of my poor kung fu! If I ever find that heroine and get that 'slap' (a euphemism for sex), I'll make those bastards pay! Hiss~"
Master Chen wasn't much better off. His elegant image was completely gone, and he looked more like a down-on-his-luck scholar. He didn't want to talk anymore, but he couldn't help but retort, "Do you think a chivalrous woman can just find one whenever she wants?"
Gao Yuchen glared at him. "Can't you say something nice? You need to have hope in your heart to truly find it. You don't have any sincere expectation in your heart, how can you expect to meet again?"
Master Chen said "yes, yes, yes" but in his heart he thought, "Not devout enough. I don't even pray to Buddha with such anticipation. I'm always praying!"
Besides, that's how fate works. If you meet suddenly, that's fate; if you never see each other again, that's fate gone. Who knows if fate will ever bring you together again!
Seeing that Master Chen didn't refute him, Gao Yuchen softened his tone, "Isn't it all for money? In the end, it's all for the people here! Think about it, the two of us came here, but we really have no use for our skills. We rack our brains trying to make these people rich, but with little success! We have to find another way. We should get rich first, and then find a way to make them rich! Isn't that the logic?"
That seems to make sense. After thinking about it, Master Chen nodded in agreement.
Hiding in the shadows, Su Nanxi wondered, could this man be the county magistrate?
They have such advanced ideas, they even understand that the rich should help the poor to get rich!
That's interesting!
Soon, Gao Yuchen solved the mystery for Su Nanxi.
"If I had known this lousy county magistrate job would be so difficult, I shouldn't have chosen this place in the first place. What a mistake! I thought that being far from the emperor's reach would mean we could live a carefree life, but it turns out it's not like that at all! Sigh! Sigh!"
"We're already here, do you really want to go back like this? Those people will laugh us to death! You still have some power, so getting things done isn't difficult for you. Let's work hard and make something of ourselves first!"
"They won't even let me say anything! Did I say I was going back? I'm definitely going to make something of myself to show them! Aren't you close to Chen Liang? Why is there still no news about that chivalrous woman?"
"I asked him, and he said he didn't know anyone that amazing. I think he does know, but I don't know why he just won't say it. He paused for a moment when he answered, and then a look of realization crossed his face!"
"Go back and find a chance to invite him out, pour him a few jugs of wine, and see if he can still hide it! This is such a good opportunity, but he won't tell us, that's so unfair! Could he be planning to do it himself? Wow! That's outrageous! No way! We should send people to look for him too, we can't let him keep it all to himself!"
Su Nanxi was bewildered. What did these two want with her? Did they have their eyes on the firecrackers and want to make money from them?
It seems not impossible. Fireworks are not as sophisticated as they are in this time and space, so they are a rare commodity. They can be traded and made a lot of money!
Tsk! This poor county magistrate is so poor that he won't let go of any opportunity to make money!
With power in hand, it's really not hard to make money if you use a few tricks!
right?
Thinking about Mo Yunmei, Su Nanxi suddenly had a flash of inspiration!
As Master Chen and his companion walked, a person wearing a long cloak suddenly swept past them not far away.
Gao Yuchen had a very vivid memory of the cloak and immediately recognized who it belonged to. His eyes lit up, and he pushed aside Master Chen and rushed over.
Unsurprisingly, they started fighting again.
Gao Yuchen finally called a halt, saying, "He didn't come here to fight, so why is this person hitting so hard?"
Su Nanxi didn't care about him. If he dared to lay a hand on her, she didn't need to be so polite. Otherwise, people would think she was easy to bully!
After stopping, Su Nanxi looked coldly at Gao Yuchen, her eyes asking what was wrong.
Gao Yuchen thought to himself, "He is indeed a master. This aloof and arrogant aura is not something that just anyone can fake!"
Worried that the female knight-errant might lack patience—after all, capable people are all temperamental and don't have much patience—Gao Yuchen succinctly explained his thoughts.
But after a long time without a response, he was unsure whether to agree or not!
Just when he thought all hope was lost, he heard a hoarse voice, "It's only exchangeable. I can promise you some, but you have to give me something of equal value in return."
Gao Yuchen had given up hope, but when he suddenly heard that he could exchange it, he was very happy and asked what he needed to exchange it for.
Su Nanxi simply said, "You just need to do me a favor."
The return to town went smoothly without any problems.
Grandma Mo pretended to be sick, claiming her back hurt so badly she couldn't get up, so she had to stay overnight in town.
To make the scene more realistic, Su Nanxi even hired a doctor to act out the scene.
Mo Yunmei naturally had to stay by Old Madam Mo's side. As her nominal daughter, it was only right that she serve her elderly mother.
Mo Yunmei was very unwilling, but she had no choice. She hadn't been sent back yet, so she was still a member of the Mo family. Filial piety was paramount, and if she didn't take care of her mother, she would be despised.
But while the person stayed, their heart wandered away.
Now that they were in town, she really wanted to go out and find Zhao Jinhua, even though she didn't know exactly where Zhao Jinhua was. She was worried about her marriage!
Grandma Mo saw everything. Lying on the bed, she pretended to be feeling unwell and bored, and asked Mo Yunmei to keep her company and talk to her.
Mo Yunmei was extremely anxious. The more she thought about it, the more worried she became about the good thing that should have been hers, because it had fallen into someone else's lap while she was away for two days. So she had no mood to spend time with Old Madam Mo.
When can't we accompany Grandma Mo? It won't kill us to delay it a little, but if her marriage is delayed, she might be replaced. Jin Hua said there are several people in line!
She had to go out and find Jin Hua to confirm; such a good marriage couldn't be allowed to fall into the wrong hands!
In her anxiety, Mo Yunmei's mind went blank, and she angrily said to Old Madam Mo, "Mother! I'm not a doctor, there's no use in me staying with you! If you feel unwell, just lie down and rest. You'll feel better after lying down for a while! I have something important to do and I need to go out for a bit."
Where are we going?
"Hey! You don't need to worry about where I'm going!"
