Chapter 24: The fight begins! The fight begins!
After Hu Zhi left, Xia's father had already sold the wild game and packed up his tools to go inside.
"Little sister, why did you say that just now?" Brother Xia asked sincerely.
Xia Mo sighed: "My parents' smoking skills are superb. I'm worried that they might be targeted by people with ill intentions. They might exaggerate the smoking process. Wealthy families won't look down on it, but for ordinary families, it's the same for everyone."
Brother Xia's expression hardened, and he nodded solemnly.
When Xia's father, mother, second brother, and third brother came in, they overheard what Xia Mo said and were immediately alerted.
Xia's father's skill in making smoked meat was passed down from his ancestors. To be on the safe side, it was absolutely forbidden to pass it on to outsiders. After being warned by his elders, he made it only for his own family.
Now, after hearing what Xia Mo said, Xia's father and the others have come to understand.
“Yes, little sister is right to worry,” Brother Xia nodded in agreement.
"Father, Mother, Second Brother, Third Brother, my little sister just said that our smoked meat needs to be smoked and sun-dried ten times. The process is complicated, so you need to remember what to say," Brother Xia solemnly instructed.
"Do not worry."
* * *
Three days later—
Xia's father went to the county to deliver smoked meat.
At the end of summer, she wrapped a headscarf around her neck and followed behind her father like a little tail.
Xia's father thought that since Xia Mo was wearing a headscarf, others wouldn't be able to see her face clearly, and the Wei family had strict housekeepers, so he figured it would be fine and agreed.
Xia's father took Xia Mo to the county alone, while Xia's mother, eldest brother, second brother, and third brother stayed at home, worried sick.
Anping County, Weijia
Xia's father, carrying five pieces of smoked wild game, met Hu Zhi at the side gate of the Wei family's residence in Anping County.
"The guests said it was good. You can continue to send over any smoked meat you have; the Wei family will accept it!" Hu Zhi said with a smile.
Xia Mo obediently followed behind her father, but her spiritual energy had already extended into the Wei family mansion before her.
She saw... a very interesting scene.
Hehe...
Inside the secluded courtyard where "Young Master Wei the Third" resided—
After releasing a carrier pigeon in the courtyard, "Young Master Wei the Third" took out Ma Yiyi's handkerchief, which had been deliberately left beside him when Xia Mo stripped him of his clothes.
Looking at the handkerchief embroidered with the character "Yi", even though he knew it wasn't from late summer, Young Master Wei still decided to keep it.
He held the handkerchief, pondering what Xia Mo had said.
It was at this moment that Ma Yiyi entered the courtyard where "Young Master Wei" lived and saw the handkerchief in "Young Master Wei's" hand.
At that moment, Ma Yiyi's face darkened, and she rushed over in one stride.
In the Wei family, "Third Young Master Wei" was treated with utmost courtesy; no one dared to be disrespectful in his presence. He had grown accustomed to this over the past few days, and even when someone rushed towards him, he paid no heed. He was lost in thought, pondering Xia Mo's words, until…
While "Young Master Wei" was distracted, Ma Yiyi snatched the handkerchief from his hand.
"This is my handkerchief! Tell me, why is my handkerchief in your hands?!" Ma Yiyi's face was extremely ugly.
Xia Mo, who was observing this scene with her mental powers, exclaimed "Oh ho!" in her mind.
Xia Mo thought with a wicked sense of humor: Ma Yiyi wants to marry "Young Master Wei the Third," but she doesn't recognize the person in front of her as "Young Master Wei the Third." This is going to be really interesting!
Hahaha……
Huangfu Qian, who was identified by Xia Mo as "Young Master Wei San", turned pale and shouted angrily, "Give it back to me!"
“This is my handkerchief, Aunt Feng. He stole it sometime during the day, and he even… is acting like this, is he… trying to ruin my reputation?!” Ma Yiyi was trembling with anger.
Feng's mother, who was also teaching Feng's mother manners, also turned pale.
Madam Feng thought to herself, "I'm waiting for Ma Yiyi to marry Young Master Wei so I can rise to prominence with her! If Ma Yiyi's reputation is ruined, how can she and her entire family rise to power?"
Xia Mo, observing all of this with her mental powers, shouted in her heart: Fight! Fight! Fight!
Huangfu Qian glanced coldly at Ma Yiyi. His eagle eyes were too deep, his face expressionless, revealing no emotion, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
This is the peasant girl who took the place of Xia Mo to save her life and wanted to marry Wei San.
Ironically, Ma Yiyi didn't know that Xia Mo had actually saved Huangfu Qian, not Wei San Gongzi!
"Why do you have my handkerchief in your hand?!" Ma Yiyi pressed on relentlessly.
“I picked it up,” Jiang Feng, Huangfu Qian’s personal bodyguard, stepped forward.
Ma Yiyi glared at Huangfu Qian through gritted teeth, her heart pounding wildly, unsure of what to do.
At that moment, the light screen in front of Ma Yiyi began to display a series of sentences, instructing her on what to do.
Ma Yiyi gritted her teeth, glanced at the comments on the screen, and said to Huangfu Qian, "I hope this matter stays buried between us, and that no fifth person finds out!"
Ma Yiyi was clearly unwilling to let the matter pass by so easily; she wanted to teach Huangfu Qian a lesson!
But Ma Yiyi still listened to the advice of the viewers in the live chat and said those words.
Xia Mo, who had witnessed all of this, subtly raised an eyebrow.
Ma Yiyi was like a puppet, listening to the advice in the comments section.
The comments section said that the young man in front of her might be someone of extraordinary background, and it was best not to offend him. If she could make him develop a good impression on her, he could be an asset after she married into the Wei family.
Seeing what the comments said, Ma Yiyi reluctantly gave Huangfu Qian a stiff smile: "I wonder, what does Young Master think?"
After her initial surprise, Mrs. Feng nodded repeatedly in approval of Ma Yiyi's handling of the situation, feeling that Ma Yiyi was becoming more and more like a well-bred young lady.
Huangfu Qian didn't bother to look at Ma Yiyi again, turned around, and left with a cold back view.
Jiang Feng replied, "Of course."
Ma Yiyi gritted her teeth, gave Jiang Feng a stiff smile, stood up, and moved forward with affected modesty, trying her best to appear graceful.
Once Ma Yiyi left the side courtyard, she couldn't hold back anymore; she was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode.
Ma Yiyi walked towards the kitchen.
Xia Mo originally wanted to use her spiritual power to spy on "Young Master Wei" and see what he did after returning to the study. However, when she saw Ma Yiyi heading towards the kitchen, her spiritual power immediately followed Ma Yiyi.
As a result, Xia Mo missed the opportunity to learn Huangfu Qian's true identity.
Xia Mo retracted the extended strands of divine consciousness, spreading them out like jellyfish into the surrounding rooms and courtyard.
Her spiritual power allowed her to see Ma Yiyi enter the room she had to pass through to get to the kitchen, open a crack in the door, and peek at them.
At the end of summer, the spiritual energy that had spread out like jellyfish condensed into fine threads.
When in a fine filament state, it requires the least mental effort.
After condensing her mental energy into fine threads, she was able to see the comments on the screen in front of Ma Yiyi more clearly.
The screen in front of Ma Yiyi was flooded with comments.
Passerby A should have the self-awareness to say: "Wow, she's an absolutely stunning beauty! I want to see an absolutely stunning beauty!"
On the importance of disguises: Host, Xia Mo's appearance by your side probably means she also knows that Young Master Wei is coming in ten days!
……
Xia Mo, who had gathered the information using her mental powers, pondered it in her heart.
