Chapter 204: Chapter 204 Xin Er Faints as She Moves into the New Home (4)_1

But what did it have to do with her?

She wasn’t schooled in medicine and couldn’t treat illnesses, even the Spirit Spring Water wasn’t some sort of divine elixir that could heal the dying. In her former life, "Space" had ascended to the fifth level, and regular consumption did nothing more than keep one youthful and extend one’s lifespan.

This merit was not hers to claim.

Upon seeing Mo Yan, Chu Heng felt a tinge of disappointment. He had thought that the woman who could make Hanzhang compromise would be an extraordinary beauty, but upon seeing her in person, she was just an average girl, pretty at best.

And beautiful women were hardly rare in the capital.

However, since she could tame Little Flower and make Red Python obedient, and even Hanzhang couldn’t refuse her demands, she must possess some extraordinary qualities. If Hanzhang truly had intentions for her, she could be taken into his household in the future. Although of low birth, she was still from a decent family, and if Hanzhang didn’t mind, why should it matter to anyone else?

If Mo Yan knew what he was thinking, she would have snorted at him even considering his status. Fortunately, she was unaware, so when it was time for the meal, she enjoyed many delicacies she had never tasted before and was in particularly good spirits, eating quite a lot.

Xiao Ruiyuan silently noted the dishes she favored and quietly planned to source these ingredients for her from their origin.

After a hearty meal and as the sun began to set, Mo Yan stood up with Little Flower to take leave. Xiao Ruiyuan was also returning, and after bidding farewell to Chu Heng, he accompanied her back to the city.

The journey was silent. By the time they reached the city, night had completely fallen.

"Goodbye, Sir Xiao."

As they parted at the city gates, Mo Yan poked her head out of the carriage window to bid Xiao Ruiyuan farewell.

In the darkness, Xiao Ruiyuan stared intently at the little head sticking out of the window, unable to discern the expression on her face. His thin lips twitched as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing and... simply rode away... rode away...

Mo Yan was left feeling rather unamused, retracting her head in annoyance and absentmindedly fiddling with Little Flower’s fur.

"Wu wu..."

An unintentional heavy hand left Little Flower grimacing with teeth bared as it whined pitifully, snapping Mo Yan back to her senses.

Mo Yan quickly let go, apologetically stroking the spot she had hurt and repeatedly saying ’sorry,’ though inwardly she was extremely vexed.

The next time she saw that mercurial fellow, she definitely would not initiate conversation first.

With the matter of the Red Python resolved, Mo Yan found herself with time on her hands. Besides teaching Zhenzhen at home to read and write, she would visit Mu’s Shop every so often with a new idea, instructing the artisans to produce new designs and add them to the catalogues for customers to choose from.

After introducing two new furniture designs at Mu’s Shop, they garnered quite a love from the customers, and the business was better than ever. When the monthly accounts were settled, the earnings were a full twenty percent more than before, and to think the new furniture had only been on the market for half a month!

The booming business at Mu’s Shop made Owner Mu, who had decided to bring Mo Yan into partnership, quite proud.

A couple of days later, the shopkeeper gave Mo Yan her thirty percent share of the month’s profits, amounting to twenty taels. If it had been for the full month, it would have been at least forty taels.

With the twenty taels of silver in hand, Mo Yan went on a shopping spree on the streets, buying gifts for everyone in the family.

For Mo Qingze, she bought a collection of works by a great literary master from Great Chu; for Xin Er, a complete set of embroidery frames; for Zhenzhen, a set of the four treasures of the study; for Lizhong, a complete set of purple clay tea utensils; for Lixiu, also a complete set of embroidery frames; for Liyan, who had no particular hobbies, a set of silver jewelry was bought.

The purchasing power of twenty taels of silver was still quite strong. After purchasing these items, she still had more than two taels left over. Mo Yan then bought all the buns from a shop and distributed them to the beggars nearby as a way to accumulate good deeds for her family.
