Under the bright indoor lights, Qin Baiyi was finally able to see Mo Qianshang clearly after she changed her clothes.
Not only were the four children different, but Mo Qianshang was also quite different this time.
She was extremely well-cared for; her already striking features seemed to have blossomed even more. Her long hair was styled in a high bun like satin, and her eyes were filled with a watery light, making it difficult for anyone to remain calm at first glance.
It's like he's become a completely different person.
Looking at the woman opposite him, who was both strange and familiar, Qin Baiyi suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and even found the food tasteless.
After finishing her meal, Mo Qianshang went out to tidy up Qin Baiyi's room.
She carried the bedding she had redeemed from the system and made the bed for Qin Baiyi. She didn't turn around when she heard footsteps behind her: "Finished eating? Don't go to sleep right away. Take a walk in the yard so you don't have indigestion tonight."
Qin Baiyi stood at the door, his expression complex: "Thank you."
Mo Qianshang felt a little uncomfortable upon hearing the thanks. She turned her head and looked Qin Baiyi up and down.
Qin Baiyi's brows twitched: "What?"
Mo Qianshang smiled and shook her head: "It's nothing, I just feel that you're different this time. I need to take a closer look and see if there's a different person behind this mask."
Qin Baiyi silently looked away.
Mo Qianshang pointed to the cabinet next to her: "You can use the cabinet as you like. If you need anything, just tell me. It'll be more convenient for me to buy things."
Qin Baiyi glanced at the wardrobe and found that the furniture here was of very good quality, which even surprised him.
Unable to suppress his doubts, he tentatively asked, "You've changed a lot. I didn't expect you to have amassed such a fortune in such a short time."
Mo Qianshang raised an eyebrow: "Why does it sound like you know me very well, like you know everything about me?"
Qin Baiyi thought to himself, since he would entrust the children to Mo Qianshang, he must have thoroughly investigated her beforehand. If he had known that Mo Qianshang was so capable, he would never have entrusted the children to such a woman who knew how to show her face in public.
In fact, it is precisely because she is so capable that she has been able to raise four children so well in this day and age.
Faced with Mo Qianshang's somewhat sarcastic words, Qin Baiyi remained silent. He had too many doubts in his mind, but it was clear that even facing Mo Qianshang herself, he could not resolve them.
Seeing that he was standing there without saying anything, Mo Qianshang also felt awkward: "Why don't you take a bath before you go to bed? I have a bathtub with a fire inside, a bath will be very comfortable."
Although Qin Baiyi was physically strong, he was still a flesh-and-blood person who would get tired. Mo Qianshang's suggestion appealed to him: "Okay."
Mo Qianshang led him to the bathing cubicle, a room she had set aside separately, right next to the woodshed, specifically for bathing.
As soon as Qin Baiyi came out, several children swarmed around him like little shadows, and then Mo Qianshang chased them all to bed.
Mo Qianshang entered the bathroom, lit the wall lamp, and found that the water tank next to her was connected to the bathtub by a pipe. Mo Qianshang pulled out the wedge, and the water flowed into the bathtub little by little. She piled firewood underneath and started a fire.
"I'll do it myself."
Qin Baiyi reached out to grab some firewood, but Mo Qianshang slapped his wrist: "It'll be ready in a minute."
It's not easy to heat such a large bucket of water. Qin Baiyi leaned against the wall, looking at Mo Qianshang, whose cheeks were slightly flushed, and couldn't help but be a little lost in thought.
Once the water was fully heated, Mo Qianshang left him alone and went to sleep, saying, "You go ahead and wash up, I'm going to rest."
The night passed, and the next morning, Mo Qianshang got up and found Qin Baiyi already in the courtyard.
He wore light-colored clothes last night, but today he wore dark-colored clothes. He looked wider at the waist and narrower at the hips, and his appearance was less gentle and more mysterious and composed than when he wore light-colored clothes.
Mo Qianshang didn't know what he looked like, but she had seen many people and could tell a lot about a person's figure just by looking at their physique. She had to admit that Qin Baiyi's temperament was truly remarkable.
This physique is so appealing, not in a particularly strong sense, but purely an appreciation for excellence, making it easy to look at it more than once.
Unfortunately, these ancient people were far too conservative; their entire bodies were covered by clothes, so she could only imagine it.
Thinking about it, she realized that she had been busy with other things since she arrived here. She didn't have time to date in her previous life, but now she did. However, there was no concept of dating in ancient times, and she was still a stepmother to four children.
She's an adult with needs, isn't this just torturing her?
Qin Baiyi turned around and saw Mo Qianshang looking behind him with a frown for some reason.
"What's up?"
Mo Qianshang came back to her senses and shook her head: "It's nothing. By the way, we eat early at home. If you have something to do in the morning, don't go out. You can eat before you leave. Remember to order three meals a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner, so don't miss them."
Qin Baiyi thought to himself, no wonder this family is being supported, while other families only get two meals a day.
After breakfast, Mo Qianshang wanted to take a look at the workshop, and Third Master Wen followed her. Qin Baiyi said that he had nothing to do and also wanted to go and take a look.
Master Wen didn't quite trust Qin Baiyi, and both of them were waiting for Mo Qianshang to speak. Although Mo Qianshang didn't even know what Qin Baiyi looked like, he had helped her yesterday after all, and as far as character was concerned, Mo Qianshang felt that Qin Baiyi shouldn't have any major problems.
"Let's go take a look together then, but please keep everything you see a secret as much as possible, since this isn't entirely my business."
Qin Baiyi nodded: "Don't worry."
Qin Baiyi arrived in a hurry last night and didn't really pay much attention to what was happening on the mountain. Although his men had found out that Mo Qianshang was living on the mountain, they didn't know exactly what she had been doing recently.
Upon entering the workshop, Qin Baiyi's eyes flickered as he looked at the stones piled on the ground.
Unexpectedly, Mo Qianshang was actually breaking open a stone.
When they went in, the people in the workshop were gathered together, breaking open the first stone of the day. As soon as they saw them coming, they all opened their mouths to greet them.
"Mr. Mo, we're only halfway there, come take a look!"
Mo Qianshang smiled and they gave her a seat, hoping she could make a good start today.
"This was carefully selected by Lao Liu. It may not yield anything particularly good, but there's a 80% chance it will.
Qin Baiyi stood behind Mo Qianshang, watching as Lao Liu slowly chiseled the stone along the already opened crack.
To avoid damaging any potential cargo inside, they proceeded with great caution. Fifteen minutes later, a cheer suddenly erupted from the crowd: "We've got it! We've found green!"
Sure enough, a hint of green appeared on the broken surface that Lao Liu had polished. Lao Liu wiped it with a towel next to him, and the jade surface revealed its luster.
