Chapter 849: Chapter 183: Compensate with 100 Worms

Xiao Yi arrived, and Pei Qin was quite displeased, "Don’t you know children can’t be raised!? Even if it’s an enemy’s child, after raising him for a while, affection develops and he becomes like your own radish!" Xiao Guangbi, I won’t kill him, but I will make his life miserable. What if I end up raising Xiao Yi? Could I really marry Jiujiu off to him!?"

"Keep him as a hostage," Mo Heng coaxed her.

"Then I really don’t fucking want to worry about this!" Pei Qin cursed.

Mo Heng laughed and kissed her slowly on her cherry lips. After he left, only she and her daughters plus Pei Qian were left at home, and Xining was very far away, making travel difficult. She was not one to behave, so giving her another child to raise and keep her occupied at home with her radishes.

Xiao Yi was also reluctant to come, causing a huge temper tantrum at home, and Princess Qing couldn’t bear to be apart from her son and cried several times.

Xiao Guangbi wanted to take control of the Xining Guard, and now he had no one else to use but Mo Heng. Since he wanted Xiao Yi to go there, he would send him. He had heard from Pei Qin that she was extraordinary, and whatever she taught would be significant. If anything unexpected happened, they could not escape blame. If Mo Heng was to leave his princely heir in their hands, they had to treat him with utmost respect. As long as he didn’t move against Mo Heng, they wouldn’t dare touch his son.

So they coaxed and forcefully sent Xiao Yi onto the carriage, directly to Yuanyang County.

Mo Heng went to Yuanyang County to receive him, and Xiao Yi got off the carriage unwillingly, his little face taut with displeasure.

"The junior provincial official should go straight to the town. My home is in Taiping Town," Mo Heng also didn’t give him a pleasant look, directly telling him to move on.

"Your family lives in such a small broken town? There’s nothing good to eat there! Not to mention anything else!" Xiao Yi said angrily.

Mo Heng only gave him a glance, "The junior provincial official can go back if he wishes, just turn around and leave." He walked off, not paying him any mind.

Xiao Yi was no longer a child; he was already six years old, and being from the royal family, he was precociously mature, already sensible. His father intended for Mo Heng to handle an important matter; he was sent here as a hostage, so that’s why he was so angry and unwilling. Arriving in this shabby village only added to his extreme displeasure.

Despite his displeasure, Xiao Yi still followed Mo Heng. Although the place was rundown, Mo Heng was quite handsome and imposing; no wonder his father wanted to win him over and even thought of having him marry his daughter. Did his daughter look just like him?

Thinking this, Xiao Yi followed all the way to Taiping Town.

He came with three horse carriages: one for Xiao Yi, one for his teacher and attendants, and the last one filled with luggage.

Pei Qin came to the door to receive them, and upon seeing the three carriages, her face turned somewhat dark. She directly said, "My house has no room. We can only accommodate Xiao Yi, one guard, and servants to wait on him. The rest either go back or find their own place to stay."

Manager Liao, who came with them, had no choice but to stay temporarily at an inn while they looked to buy a house in Taiping Town to stay for however long they needed, anyway, it was just a matter of a few dozen taels of silver.

Xiao Yi saw that Pei Qin did not greet him and hummed with his chin lifted.

"Brat!" Pei Qin swore and ordered Xiao Yi’s luggage to be moved to the wing room in the backyard.

The front courtyard was fully occupied by Pei Wendong, Chang Yonglin, and Xiao Yong; there was no space left, only the back courtyard had empty rooms.

Xiao Yi entered and glanced at the courtyard, scoffing internally, "How can anyone live in such a broken place!?"

"Well, then you’ll live with us from now on, even if it means sleeping in a pigsty and eating with us, it means eating pig slop!" Pei Qin hehe coldly sneered. She had plenty of ways to handle a bratty kid!

Xiao Yi’s little face turned dark, "You are Madam Yuanyang, yet you’re so vulgar, you dare call the provincial official a pig!?"

"Whether you’re a pig or not, we’ll find out in a few days," Pei Qin shot back at him.

Xiao Yi snorted, feeling that with his noble status, he shouldn’t stoop to debating whether he was a pig or discussing pig slop with Pei Qin, a village woman, and he simply ignored her.

His eyes searched the area but did not find any young girls of a similar age, which puzzled Xiao Yi. His father said that he might marry one of their daughters as his wife in the future. He had come all this way, so why was their daughter not coming out to greet him?

By this time, the beans had grown into a plant and were infested with substantial bean beetles; Jiujiu, Sun Xingwang, and Zhao Xiaolang were off catching bean beetles and had no intention of welcoming or playing with him.

Seeing that Pei Qin didn’t offer him attentiveness or food and only provided a cup of tea, Xiao Yi was displeased, "The provincial official has traveled a long way, both tired and happy. Prepare fragrant soup, for the provincial official wishes to bathe. Also prepare a good meal, as the provincial official will need to dine soon."
