Chapter 73 What trouble is Huangfu Lai causing?

The next day—

At the end of summer, I went to Anping County again with my second brother, Xia.

The brother and sister first went to the clinic and exchanged the Ganoderma lucidum for sixty taels of silver. Then, they skillfully bought three portions of each kind of food, exchanged four taels of silver for four jars of money, packed three packets of dried meat, and packed the copper coins as well.

When the brother and sister arrived at the prison gate, the jailer came out to greet them, and immediately a jailer ran off to inform the Wei family.

Xia Mo handed the food to the jailer, who deliberately kept Xia Mo and Xia Erge from leaving immediately.

Xia Mo pretended not to know the jailer's intentions and let Xia Erge talk to the jailer about the situation of Xia's father and Xia Dage in the prison.

Before the end of summer, she could only use her divine sense to see one place when she released it outside her body. Now that her body is strong, she can release two strands of her divine sense to see two places.

Xia Mo extended his second wisp of divine sense into the prison to check on the condition of Xia's father and elder brother.

Less than fifteen minutes later, Wei Zhishu rode up at full gallop.

Wei Zhishu no longer concealed his intentions and went directly to intercept people.

Before the horse stopped, Wei Zhishu couldn't wait to jump off and stagger to stand in front of Xia Mo.

“Miss Xia,” Wei Zhishu stared intently at Xia Mo, who was wearing a face mask, refusing to look away.

At this moment, Wei Zhishu's display of deep affection seemed somewhat disgusting to Xia Mo.

She placed a wisp of her divine sense on Ma Yiyi, and naturally knew what Ma Yiyi had done this morning.

Before dawn, Ma Yiyi went into the kitchen and used the recipe taught by the live streaming system to make braising liquid and braise meat. When Wei Zhishu woke up at Chenshi (7-9 AM), she delivered the braised meat to him.

Ma Yiyi walked gracefully, and with her exquisite appearance, she immediately captivated Wei Zhishu.

Wei Zhishu and Ma Yiyi exchanged glances, and the atmosphere between them quickly became ambiguous.

Wei Zhishu had no intention of refusing the beauty that was offered to him. When Ma Yiyi pretended to fall, he took the opportunity to pull her into his arms.

The lip print on Wei Zhishu's neck was made at that time.

Wei Zhishu, feigning gentlemanly conduct, helped Ma Yiyi sit up. As he tasted the braised food, he would occasionally glance at Ma Yiyi and say "delicious," though it was unclear what he meant by "delicious." Was he referring to the braised food itself, or to Ma Yiyi?

Ma Yiyi completed the system task and achieved a minor level of calligraphy proficiency.

The screen in front of Ma Yiyi changed, and she entered the task interface, which showed that the task "Make delicious food for Wei Zhishu and receive praise from Wei Zhishu" was completed.

Ma Yiyi completed this task, but her progress in plundering the luck did not increase.

Xia Mo concluded that if the task Ma Yiyi completed was not closely related to her, then the conditions for plunder could not be met.

Xia Mo snapped out of her daze, deliberately glancing at Wei Zhishu's neck with a surprised look, before lowering her head with an unpleasant expression.

Xia Mo lowered her head, but her consciousness was directed towards the corner not far away.

Huangfu Qian and Jiang Feng stood one in front of the other at the corner, looking in her direction.

What does Huangfu Qian mean?

Xia Mo frowned slightly, completely baffled.

Wei Zhishu's breath hitched. Without thinking, she reached out to cover her neck and nervously rubbed it a few times. The moment she saw the red mark on her hand, she suddenly realized what had happened. Wei Zhishu's face turned pale instantly. She looked at Xia Mo pitifully with pleading eyes, opened her lips, but didn't know what to say.

"I……"

Xia Mo looked away, unwilling to see Wei Zhishu.

Wei Zhishu's eyes showed annoyance. He was not annoyed by "stealing food" but by not wiping it clean and being discovered by Xia Mo.

Ha ha……

Xia Mo scoffed inwardly, thinking that even in her past life, she would never have fallen for a man like Wei Zhishu!

Xia Erge hurriedly stepped between Xia Mo and Wei Zhishu, glaring warily at Wei Zhishu, feeling extremely annoyed.

How could he not have thought that the jailer kept him here to create an opportunity for Wei Zhishu to meet him!

Huangfu Qian didn't know what trouble he was going to cause, but at that moment, he walked over.

Xia Mo sensed something was wrong and frowned.

Huangfu Qian stared intently at Xia Mo, unable to decipher her feelings. He asked again, "Do you want to marry him?"

Xia Mo wanted to lure Wei Zhishu to use against Ma Yiyi, and also to take advantage of Wei Zhishu to take back the luck points that were stolen from Ma Yiyi and the live streaming system!

These things cannot be spoken of.

In other words, she couldn't directly refuse Wei Zhishu in front of him.

Xia Mo glanced at Xia Erge and secretly rolled her eyes at Huangfu Qian.

Huangfu Qian felt a pang of discomfort, as if Xia Mo's gaze was saying, "Aren't you just asking a question you already know the answer to?"

“Wei San, two years ago by the river…” Huangfu Qianying stared intently at Xia Mo, slowly uttering the words.

Xia Mo's breath hitched. She looked up and glared directly at Huangfu Qian, signaling him to shut up.

"What?" Wei Zhishu urged.

Xia Mo subtly shook her head at Huangfu Qian, signaling him not to speak.

Huangfu Qian changed the subject, saying, "Have you forgotten the important business you came to Anping County for?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhishu's expression turned grim; he understood.

Huangfu Qian came specifically to stop him because he saw that Huangfu Qian had come to Anping County but had not taken Ma Yiyi back to the capital to get married, and that Huangfu Qian was still pursuing the peasant girl Xia Mo.

"You've come to stop me, haven't you?" Wei Zhishu asked, her voice hoarse with sadness.

Huangfu Qian remained noncommittal, letting Wei Zhishu fill in the blanks in his mind.

“The Wei family, and others, second brother, fourth brother, fifth brother… they are not married either,” Wei Zhishu said in a dry voice.

Wei Zhishu wanted to say: Even if he wanted to repay the life-saving grace and marry Ma Yiyi, that person wasn't indispensable, was he?

"What did you agree to with Consort Wei? Have you forgotten?" Huangfu Qian reminded him.

Wei Zhishu's eyes flickered as he weighed the gains and losses in his mind.

Before he arrived, Consort Wei had said that as long as he repaid Huangfu Qian's kindness by marrying his savior, the position of the heir of the Wei family would be his.

If he were to ask to marry someone else now, it would be equivalent to him giving up his position as heir apparent.

It would be ideal to have both beauty and power.

But if he couldn't have both... Wei Zhishu chose power, but... he was the second legitimate son of the Marquis's family. After marrying Ma Yiyi, he couldn't marry Xia Mo, but he could take a concubine!

In this way, wouldn't we be able to have both?

Wei Zhishu's mind was churning like a tidal wave, and he finally figured out how to handle it.

Whether Xia Mo is willing to be forced into taking a concubine is not up to her.

At this moment, Wei Zhishu had the idea of ​​forcibly taking Xia Mo as his concubine.

After Wei Zhishu changed his approach, his thoughts also changed.

He thought that if he pursued Xia Mo and then married her, they would be like a pair of lovebirds, and it would be best if they were of one mind; if he forced Xia Mo to become his concubine, he wouldn't need to care whether she had feelings for him or not. He could get her first and then deal with the rest later.
