Chapter 958: Chapter 215: Get Lost!_3

As for Pei Yuan, Mrs. Zhao, and Old Master Zhao, Zhao Xiaochen had already rented a small courtyard in the same alley early on that was big enough for their family.

Fang Fang didn’t worry about anything since with her mother and grandparents, it was impossible for them to end up living on the streets.

It was Yan Kangyuan who had made remarkable progress in medical skills over the past half a year and had patients everywhere. He had saved up some money, "Our family is quite large, and it’s inconvenient to squeeze everywhere. I still have a bit of money, so I’ll go rent two rooms!"

When Fang Fang wanted to say something, Lady Yu gave her a sidelong glance, and she pouted her mouth, not daring to speak.

Yan Kangyuan went out to find a place.

Feng Shouxing and Fang Hui came running over to look for Mo Heng and Shen Songming.

Seeing that Pei Yuan and his family had all gone out to find a place to stay, Fang Hui opened her mouth and said, "Since everyone is gone and has found a place to stay, we’re the only ones without a place. Let us stay!" She felt that it wasn’t likely, but the words slipped out anyway.

"Get out," Mo Heng gave her a single word.

Fang Hui’s face alternated between red and black, her eyes filled with deep hatred and anger.

Feng Shouxing, thinking of his claim that he wouldn’t even acknowledge the Mo family, quickly turned to plead with Shen Songming, "...Young Master Shen, just one word from you could save our family’s lives! Please take us with you to Capital Jingcheng! We will definitely repay you in the future!"

"Pei Qin initially treated you well, but not only did you not repay her kindness, you retaliated instead. You’ve been living off me for half a year, and until now, you haven’t paid back the money, and you’re still following me. Have you prepared yourselves to sign servitude contracts?" Shen Songming asked.

"Sign... servitude contracts!?" Feng Shouxing’s eyes widened in shock. "You want us to sell ourselves into servitude!?"

"What relation do you even bear to the Shen family? What kin? If not selling yourselves into servitude, do you expect us to support you for nothing!?" Shuang Xi couldn’t help but interject.

Feng Shouxing’s face turned pale, his heart trembling with fury and resentment, "We will repay you once we’ve earned the money."

"I’m waiting for you to pay me back! But for now, spend your own money!" Shen Songming pursed his lips.

Fang Hui had money; she hadn’t touched her dowry at all. She also had her own private savings, the Feng family’s silver, as well as the earnings from the noodle shop. Since fleeing for their lives with Shen Songming, they had shamelessly leached off of him for food and drink without spending a penny of their own.

But since they couldn’t rely on Pei Qin and Mo Heng anymore, and her parental home wouldn’t help, and Shen Songming was no longer interested in taking care of them, Fang Hui, holding her little grandson, twisted her lips as if about to cry.

"Shut up! If you want to cry, get out and cry!" Lady Yu scolded angrily. Qinqin was sick and had just fallen asleep.

Fang Hui opened her mouth to argue.

A pebble flew by and hit her right on her mute acupoint.

Instantly unable to speak, Fang Hui was suddenly filled with panic.

Liu Feng didn’t even spare her a glance.

"Our lady has just gone to rest. Let’s see who dares to make another sound," Zhang Gengshan immediately warned.

"What have you done to my mother?" Feng Chun glared and demanded.

"It’s a mute acupoint; it will wear off after four hours," Zhang Gengshan said with disdain.

Fang Hui breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Grandma Fang with tears in her eyes.

Grandma Fang was done with asking her for more, "The chaos of war has passed, and since you want to go to Capital Jingcheng, you’re almost there." She signaled that Fang Hui could go on her own way and stopped meddling in her affairs.

On hearing these words, Feng Shouxing no longer wanted to leave. The Fang family and Pei Yuan’s family would definitely not leave, just staying in the county. If they alone went to the capital, what power could they possibly gain? Only by staying here could they depend on this strong tree.

Feng Bo looked darkly at Mo Heng and then at Lady Yu and the others, "We’re going to the capital!" Even if he was alone, he was confident he could make it in Capital Jingcheng!

His stubbornness eventually led Feng Shouxing and Fang Hui to continue their journey, following a northern-bound caravan to Capital Jingcheng.

Upon receiving the news, Zhao Xiaochen hurried over too. Mrs. Zhao and Old Master Zhao reunited with their son and had another tearful session, Happy no longer recognizing his father early on.

Fang Fu found a place to stay, "It’s a bit far from here. Let’s go there and tidy it up first! We’ve already arrived; whatever you want to say, we can talk about it tomorrow or the day after!"

Lady Yu, seeing that Pei Qin was still not fully awake, greeted her and went with Lady Ruan to tidy up the place.

Zhao Xiaochen also took Mrs. Zhao and Old Master Zhao to the rented courtyard, leaving Pei Yuan to take care of Happy and tidy up the house with the servants.

When everyone had left, only a few siblings remained, along with another pair of siblings.

Pei Wendong explained that Xie Yi and Xie Ze were siblings from the family of the Magistrate of Xiaochang County. Magistrate Xie was killed when he was called to reinforce Runing Prefecture, and these siblings were saved by him. However, after Magistrate Xie’s death, the Xie family seized the properties of their branch, and the siblings were forcefully driven out.

"Their maternal grandparents are in Capital Jingcheng. We’ll first send someone to inquire tomorrow. If they’re all still there, then the siblings can seek refuge with them!" Pei Wendong said, his ears reddening as he glanced at Xie Yi, then asked Mo Heng, "Brother-in-law! When will my elder sister wake up?" There was something else he needed to discuss with his elder sister.

Xiao Yong frowned slightly. Even if Xie Yi came from a family of officials, nowadays, she was at best suited to be a concubine. Wendong...
