"Madam, Miss, the young master sent a message saying that he will be at the dock tomorrow."

"really?"

"Absolutely true!"

"Besides him, is there anyone else coming?"

"Just the eldest master!"

"Okay, I understand. Dujuan, take a tael of silver and give it to the messenger. Chunlan, go to Zizhu Garden for me and see if there is anything missing."

The two of them immediately took the job and left.

After giving the instructions, Qu Manrong sat down again, but looked a little restless.

"Mom, why are you like this? Isn't it just that my brother who I've never met is coming? Why do you look like you are afraid of him?"

"You do not understand!"

Is Qu Manrong afraid of Lin Nianzhi's child?

She was afraid of Lin Nianzhi's temperament that was like that of an old lady!

Although Lin Nianzhi is only about ten years old now, his aura of majesty without even getting angry is really intimidating.

Qu Manrong respected Old Lady Lin as her stepmother, but at the same time she was also afraid of her.

Although Old Lady Lin had never abused her, just looking at her was scary.

Now that the old lady knew that she had fallen into such a state, she must feel that she was not good enough. She might even ask Lin Nianzhi to bring a letter to criticize her!

"Do you really need to? You are thirty years old after all. Are you really that scared of a child?"

"I'm not afraid of that child Nianzhi, I'm afraid of your grandmother, okay?"

Lin Yaoyao looked at her with a strange look.

She is still a concubine's daughter-in-law, but she is so afraid of the old lady.

If she suddenly found out that the man she slept with was the old lady's biological son, wouldn't she be so scared that she would pack her bags and run away overnight?

Unable to understand!

I really can't understand it!

But respect.

Day two.

Lin Yaoyao was carried by Qu Manrong early in the morning and got on a horse-drawn carriage to pick people up at the dock.

She yawned and said, "Isn't it just to pick someone up? Can't you go pick him up yourself? Why do you have to make me get up early with you?"

Is it easy for you?

She suddenly heard news about the original owner's younger brother last night, and followed Yu Shengyan to look for him outside the city overnight.

As a result, she didn’t find the person and didn’t sleep for long. Now she has to get up early and go to the dock to pick him up. Is it easy for her?

"Were you a thief last night?"

"That's about right! I just didn't succeed in stealing it!"

"What? You're short of money? Why didn't you tell me you were short of money? How could you steal it?

I'll have someone send you some money when I get back. Don't become a thief. It's bad for your reputation!"

"Who said I stole money? Can't I steal people?"

"What?!! Stealing...stealing people?!!"

Qu Manrong was so shocked that she stood up from her seat.

But because the carriage hood was not high enough and her hair bun was too high, it was knocked crooked.

Lin Yaoyao still glanced at her calmly.

"Your hair is crooked." She said, "Okay, I'm going to catch up on some sleep. Remember to call me when we get to the dock."

Qu Manrong really wanted to continue asking, what exactly is cheating on someone?

Who was the thief? What was his family background? Was he worthy of her status as the legitimate daughter of a marquis?

But seeing that Lin Yaoyao had already fallen asleep, and their mother-daughter relationship was not good enough to where they could talk about anything, she could only endure the anxious feeling and struggle alone.

How to do?

The girl has grown up and has her own lover, but as a mother, she doesn't even have the right to ask about it!

And what kind of person is the other person? Is he reliable? Is he sweet on the outside but bitter on the inside? Is he a gigolo?

Does the other party know my family background? Is it possible that he is looking for my daughter just because he is attracted by my family background?

Her mind was full of various speculations, but she had been unable to find the answer, and the protagonist of the incident was still sleeping soundly.

Qu Manrong was so regretful!

If I had known earlier...how could there be so many things I could have known earlier?

I really want to slap myself to death and go back to the time when my daughter just came back!

Unfortunately, it’s too late now!

She thought that she must find someone to keep an eye on her daughter. It was not to monitor or track her daughter, but she just wanted to see what kind of person the other person was.

Before she could figure it out, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Ma'am, we've arrived at the dock."

"Huh? Oh, okay!"

She hasn't figured it out yet, how come they're already at the pier?

"Yaoyao, wake up! We've arrived at the pier and it's time to get off the bus!"

Lin Yaoyao opened her eyes suddenly, and looked at her with a sharp look.

But she soon returned to normal.

Fortunately, Qu Manrong was busy thinking about things and did not notice this change.

While sleeping for a while in the carriage, she actually dreamed about her previous life at the base.

At that time, the city could be surrounded by zombies every day and everyone could become an opponent, so she was always in a tense state.

Even during sleep time, she is alert.

The moment Qu Manrong called her just now, she really thought someone wanted to attack her.

Suddenly I miss Qianqian, that woman. I wonder how she is doing now?

Without me by her side, will there be anyone to keep her company and entertain her?

After getting off the carriage, Lin Yaoyao finally saw the dock clearly, which was somewhat different from what she had imagined.

In her imagination, the docks in the capital should be like those in TV dramas, bustling with people and full of shops.

But the dock here is a bit deserted. Apart from the ships coming and going, there are strong laborers working hard.

There were only a few people hawking goods, and what they sold were just cheap tea and dry biscuits that they made at home.

"There are so many merchants coming and going here, and so many strong laborers, why is there no one doing business here?"

"Because everyone is busy with life, who has time to stop and take a rest and go shopping?

Maybe by the time they sit down to drink some water, many people will rush to do their work. "

"What about the merchants?"

"Those merchants have money in their pockets. They prefer to stay in inns and visit various big shops. How could they possibly be interested in the small things in the market?"

Lin Yaoyao suddenly understood something.

It seemed that she had taken things for granted because of the TV dramas and novels she had watched in the past.

These people can indeed earn a lot in a day as long as they are willing to work hard, but they are also really working hard.

How can a person spend the money he has worked so hard to earn without thinking?

As for food and tea, these people are willing to endure so much hardship, so they really won’t be overly particular about what they eat.

If they want to eat better, they can cut some meat and take it home to improve the lives of the whole family.

"Yaoyao, why are you asking this all of a sudden? Do you want to start your own business?

If you want to learn how to do business, my mother has a lot of shops and you can try a few out.

If you believe what your mother said, this place is really not suitable for doing business."

There used to be many people setting up stalls here, but they all ended up failing.

The poor don't deserve to stop.
