When entering Youcheng and finding out that banknotes and silver coins could not be used, Mu Yingbao thought that he would have to live a hard life.

However, she didn't expect that her worries were completely in vain. When the 400 Youcheng coins given by the household manager when she entered the city were about to run out, and she was ready to find a way to earn more, the household manager gave her another bag of Youcheng coins in a mysterious way one night, and counted out a full ten.

The household manager only said that someone outside the city gave it to him, but he didn't say who it was. Mu Yingbao guessed that it was Xue Wenyu's men, who couldn't bear to see his son suffer, so they bribed the people in Youcheng to send it to him.

From that time on, the household manager would send ten coins every one or two months.

There was no way they could use it all up, so Mu Yingbao didn't go out to find something to do.

Later, the intervals between visits by the household manager became shorter, and his attitude towards Mu Yingbao became better.

However, he did tell her that time, and the elder sister in the prince's palace also used her connections to take care of it. Later, when Qi Fei's three daughters-in-law were diagnosed with pregnancy, Qi Fei also began to give Youcheng coins, which were all given to Brother Yu Hui to bring back. In the more than two years in Youcheng, Mu Yingbao did not have a hard life, except for the bad reputation of being a wicked stepmother, not having much contact with neighbors, and often being looked down upon when going out on the street.

At least it's better and more comfortable than living in the Xue family.

Here she is the head of the family, and Brother Hui is sensible, grateful, and caring for her. The mother and daughter, who are not related by blood, are very close when there are no outsiders around.

Not worrying about running out of Youcheng coins, Mu Yingbao went up the mountain to look for wild vegetables during the day, picked some herbs and prepared some pills for herself. For dinner, the mother and daughter took classes in the room, and then ate some of her homemade delicacies as a midnight snack.

For the past six months, Brother Hui has been practicing martial arts with Qi Fei during the day and has not been lazy at all. Mu Yingbao has given him all kinds of food supplements, but he has only grown taller but not fatter. In the eyes of outsiders, he is just a poor child who is not full.

In fact, Brother Hui has a very strong body and often shows Mu Yingbao the small muscle scars on his arms.

Following Mu Yingbao, his personality became more cheerful than when he was in the Marquis' Mansion. From not letting Mu Yingbao see his undershirt at the beginning to rolling up his sleeves to show off his muscles at every turn, he has completely regarded Mu Yingbao as his closest person.

That day, Mu Yingbao and Hui Ge had just washed the dishes and were about to go back to the house for class when they heard someone knocking on the courtyard door.

This rhythm is not unfamiliar to them, it is the household manager.

Meow, didn’t you just deliver the Youcheng coins the day before yesterday? Why are you here again today? Mu Yingbao was puzzled, so he went out to open the gate and let the person in.

Mu Yingbao glared at Brother Hui, and the child immediately went to pick tea obediently. Although the old household manager had come many times and was used to this scene, he still felt a little uncomfortable. This little girl was stupid. Couldn't she pretend to be a good mother when there were outsiders around?

"What are you doing?" Mu Yingbao asked in confusion when she saw the heavy bag in the household manager's hand.

"Marquis Anding used his connections to give it to you," the household manager whispered.

"Marquis Anding?" Mu Yingbao didn't react for a moment.

The household manager frowned slightly, and seeing that she didn't seem to be pretending, he coughed lightly and lowered his voice again to remind her, "The father of Master Xue."

"Oh, that old man who was so selfish that he didn't care about his relatives and only cared about protecting himself when disaster struck." Mu Yingbao remembered.

Listening to this man using a series of derogatory words to describe her father-in-law, Hu Guanxin thought that not only did this man dare to abuse Master Xue's son, he even didn't take his father-in-law seriously.

"Ahem, Madam Xue, I heard that Master Xue used a trick to capture Xixiang." The household manager hesitated for a moment, but still felt that he should remind this person. No matter if he was really Biao or had a backer more powerful than the master, knowing that Master Xue might come back, he should make plans early.

For example, be nicer to the prince's children.

Otherwise, when the father and son meet in the future and the child complains, will she be able to have a good ending?

"So, we've conquered it. What does it have to do with me, Uncle Housekeeper? Just use this small gift to drink. You've worked hard." Mu Yingbao listened to everyone reporting good news to him in a subtle way. He felt annoyed. He grabbed a handful of Youcheng coins from the bag on the table and stuffed them into the household keeper's pocket.

The household manager did not see the surprise on her face. He just thought that she was afraid that Master Xue would come back and find out that she abused the child and would have a bad life, so she was in a bad mood and did not dare to say anything more. After being polite for a while, she collected the city coins and left.

He felt fortunate that he did not make things difficult for the mother and daughter after they entered the city, so he did not have to worry about revenge from Master Xue in the future.

The old saying is really true, leave some way out for others so that you can meet them again in the future! Things change over time, an unlucky person won't always be unlucky, and a prosperous person won't remain the same forever.

After sending the household manager away, Mu Yingbao opened the door and saw Brother Hui using city coins to place the Chinese character for father on the table.

Yes, I don't want that guy to return safely, but this child is different. He certainly hopes that his father will come back and reunite with him as soon as possible.

"You don't have to worry. When I see my father someday, I will tell him to treat you well." Brother Hui was very sensitive and had noticed long ago that the stepmother did not seem very excited when she heard the news that his father was going to return triumphantly.

Although the child misunderstood her, Mu Yingbao was very relieved. She smiled and walked over to touch Brother Hui's head. "Don't bother. Your father and I are not the same kind of people at all."

"What about you?" Brother Hui frowned.

"Let's not talk about that. Come, let's have class. I won't teach you anything new today. Just review the Thirty-Six Stratagems for you to listen to." Mu Yingbao really wasn't in the mood to teach the kids new lessons today.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a noise outside the door. After practicing martial arts, Brother Hui's hearing has become extraordinary. He immediately stood up and protected Mu Yingbao.

Mu Yingbao's heart was moved. Could it be that someone knew that Xue Wenyu was coming back and wanted to get rid of him and Brother Hui before he did?

"Don't panic, Aunt Mu, it's me." The person outside the door seemed to have heard Mu Yingbao's thoughts and introduced himself in a low voice to put her at ease.

When Brother Hui heard that the master had arrived, he immediately stepped forward and opened the door, and immediately smelled a bloody odor.

The person who came in was Qi Fei, carrying someone on his back.

Mu Yingbao gave him a look, and Brother Hui immediately walked out, closed the door, and then stood guard at the courtyard gate.

"What's going on?" Mu Yingbao asked.

"Girl, the set of things you asked me to buy last time said that it could treat the wounded. Who are they for? Is he in this city?" Qi Fei asked in a low voice anxiously.

The set he was talking about was a set of surgical instruments. After his daughter-in-law gave birth to a child, his family regarded Mu Yingbao as a benefactor, so Mu Yingbao drew a picture and asked him to help find someone to secretly make it.

At that time, she didn't say that she was going to use it herself, and Qi Fei was tactful enough not to ask.

"Is he someone you value very much?" Mu Yingbao asked while glancing at the man's injuries. He didn't see any, so it should be on the chest or abdomen.

"Yes, to be honest, he is my sworn brother." Qi Fei was anxious to find out who could use that thing to save people, so he told the story simply.

I didn't see it, it should be in the chest or abdomen.

"Yes, to be honest, he is my sworn brother." Qi Fei was anxious to find out who could use that thing to save people, so he told the story simply.

"Since he is one of us, I will do my best, but I cannot guarantee it." Mu Yingbao said frankly.

"What? Girl, you?" Qi Fei's eyes widened in disbelief.

He had indeed seen this person's abilities, but could that be the same as the current situation...
