Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Meeting Without Recognizing, Space Upgrades Again (7)_1

Mo Yan didn’t stay long before she came out and hailed a carriage straight to Huixian Residence.

Upon learning of Mo Yan’s intentions, the Punishing Shopkeeper praised Mo Yan’s kind heart. Considering Yun Zhao’s young age, he let him start in the kitchen helping wash vegetables. When he got a bit older, they would see if he could do something else.

As for the salary, it was temporarily set at one hundred wen a month. There was an empty storage room in the back courtyard of Huixian Residence, which could be cleaned up for the siblings to move into, and they would also be provided with three meals a day.

For the siblings, this was already extremely good. Mo Yan knew that the Punishing Shopkeeper had taken in Yun Zhao because of her, so she thanked him repeatedly, keeping in mind the favor he had done for her.

When Mo Yan went back and told the siblings, they were incredibly excited. Yun Zhao, even more so, grabbed his sister Yun Sheng and immediately attempted to kneel before Mo Yan to kowtow, but Mo Yan stopped them.

"Big sister, we have nothing to repay you with, so please let us kowtow to you a few times?" Yun Zhao persisted, insistently pulling his sister as if to kneel.

"Big sister doesn’t want your repayment. All I want is for you both to be good people and work hard. That would be the best repayment for me."

Mo Yan, with a troubled expression, pulled them up. You kneel to the heavens, the earth, your parents, and the deceased. If these two kids kneel to her, wouldn’t she feel mentally burdened?

At noon, after taking them out for a meal, Mo Yan went to a ready-made clothing shop to buy a few sets of changeable clothes for each of them, then led them to Huixian Residence.

The Punishing Shopkeeper took the time to meet Yun Zhao, and seeing that despite his young age he was smart and quick-witted, and knowing that he could read, conducted a brief assessment. He nodded to himself, considering cultivating him, but decided that further assessment of his character was needed before making a decision.

Xiao Zhu settled the siblings into a small room in the back courtyard. Mo Yan also took the time to carefully instruct them a few more words, then left Huixian Residence amid the siblings’ reluctant gazes.

Having resolved a worry and accumulated merit, Mo Yan felt good and decided to take a leisurely stroll while heading home.

"Oh? Miss, what a coincidence to see you again."

As she passed by a ready-made clothing shop, a somewhat familiar middle-aged woman’s voice reached Mo Yan’s ears.

Mo Yan turned her head and saw the owner of the voice standing at the entrance of the clothing shop, looking at her with a kind and amiable face.

Wasn’t this woman the dignified and beautiful lady she had encountered in Duobao Pavilion last time?

At the moment, the dignified and beautiful lady was dressed in a chestnut-colored gauze wide-sleeve dress with a set of valuable jade decorations adorning her head, ears, and wrists, followed by four or five maids and servants, exuding the air of a wealthy lady.

"It turns out to be this lady; it is quite a coincidence indeed." Others greeted her with smiling intentions, and naturally, Mo Yan wouldn’t just turn and leave, so she smiled back and responded in kind.

"Hehe, since fate has brought us together again, would the young miss be willing to accompany me to the teahouse across the street for a sit?" The dignified and beautiful lady walked over with a graceful demeanor, extending her right hand intending to grasp Mo Yan’s.

Mo Yan, without changing her expression, let her hand drop from her waist and said smilingly, "Lady’s kind offer should not be refused lightly, but alas, I have matters to attend to at home, so please forgive my inability to accept the invitation."

Untimely attentiveness, if not treachery, is thievery. She’s not a three-year-old child, to simply follow someone after a few friendly words.

The dignified and beautiful lady’s countenance fell when she was rejected, and her still beautiful face showed a hint of vulnerability, "Then... alright, may I ask where the miss lives? If there is a chance... "

Facing Mo Yan’s seemingly smiling but not smiling expression, the dignified and beautiful lady suddenly couldn’t continue speaking, and the fabricated cordiality also cracked slightly.

Can’t keep up the act anymore?

Mo Yan scoffed inwardly but sincerely replied on the surface, "Hehe, Lady is too courteous. Since our meeting is but a passing encounter, let’s leave it to chance! If there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave first."
