Transformed into a vicious stepmother, invincible

To be on the safe side, Bai Sui'an also found pen and ink to draw a rough map, marking the areas of the three villages, and asked Li Xi to confirm the approximate location of the dungeon and the previous entrance.

It was just a rough sketch, but Li Xi could still see that Bai Sui'an painted it more carefully, even in a lot of depth.

"You explored so many places last night?" Li Xi was slightly surprised.

Even though she didn't know the defense situation there, Li Xi felt that the place was terrifying because Bai Sui'an came back covered in blood after going there.

Looking at the picture drawn by Bai Sui'an, and knowing that she had explored such a deep place, Li Xi felt that it was even more dangerous inside.

But she still circled the approximate location of the dungeon for Bai Sui'an.

"I didn't find anyone up ahead, so I went deeper. I was only injured when I encountered a trap when I came out. It wasn't very dangerous." Bai Sui'an explained.

Li Xi was skeptical, but didn't say anything else.

Qi Decheng went to the town to deliver something and came back soon, riding in Feiyun Department Store's carriage.

This time it was Zhuying who was driving, not Ayan.

Zhuying was only concerned with getting on with the journey, not caring about her own life. Qi Decheng and Ji Wei, who were sitting in the carriage, hugged each other, their faces pale and their heads dizzy. When they got off the carriage, they could hardly tell the difference between heaven and earth.

Only Zhuying seemed fine. He turned over and landed on the ground, took out all the things he had bought, and did not forget to ask the two for help.

"Now that you're here, stop standing there and pick up your things. We bought quite a lot."

Qi Decheng supported Ji Wei's shoulders, waved his hands, and said weakly: "Brother, please let us rest for a while. This carriage is really not something ordinary people like us can ride. It's fast, but it's much more crazy than a cow! Ugh! I, I can't take it anymore..."

"I can't do it either. I feel dizzy and nauseous." Ji Wei was young and was even retching.

Zhu Ying was disappointed: "You are so unreliable. You still have to rely on me."

Leaving the two of them there to catch their breath, Zhuying carried her bags and pushed open the gate of the Lin family's courtyard.

"Sister-in-law! I'm coming!"

The four faces that responded to him were one big, two small and one dog in the yard.

Sister-in-law? Who is it? Who is here?

Lin Yashu was stunned for a moment and muttered softly: "Isn't this the uncle that my mother returned the horse to last time?"

At that time, she glanced in from outside and remembered the appearance of the candlelight.

"This is Dad's distant cousin, call him uncle." Ye Lingche secretly tugged at his daughter's clothes and introduced her with a normal expression.

Lin Rongkang didn't remember the candlelight. He tilted his head and called out crisply, "Hello, uncle."

Lin Yashu received her father's gaze and shouted, "Hello, uncle."

Zhuying then nodded and put down everything in her hands.

"I heard my sister-in-law was sick, so I thought I'd come over to help her out for a while. I brought some things with me, but I haven't finished yet. I'll go get more."

Zhuying went out on her own. Lin Yashu looked up at her father and blinked: "Mom is sick?"

Didn't you agree to keep it a secret from your brother? Why did you suddenly say you were sick?

Does my brother know that my mother is sick?

Lin Rongkang also looked up at his father at this moment: "Isn't Mom fine?"

Ye Lingche touched his forehead, not knowing how to explain. He had forgotten to talk to Zhu Ying about this, and it was hard to explain for the time being...

"Cough cough..." Bai Sui'an suddenly heard a violent cough.

Lin Rongkang's eyes widened: "Oh, Mom is really sick!"

After saying that, he ran into the house happily.

Lin Yashu asked softly, "This is pretending to be sick, right?"

"That's right..."

Because the next moment, Li Xi helped Bai Sui'an out of the house.

The candlelight made quite a noise just now, and Bai Sui'an was afraid that he had heard it from inside, so he pretended to be sick and came out.

Li Xi also pretended to be distressed and helped to speak: "I was so busy chatting with Sui'an that I didn't notice that she was unwell. I didn't expect that her condition would suddenly get worse. Now she is so weak that she needs my support to walk."

"Ahem, it's okay. I'll just sit for a while."

Bai Sui'an could only cough. She had just started coughing suddenly and had not informed Li Xi. Suddenly, she had a symptom of general weakness. She had no choice but to improvise and lean softly against Li Xi.

Lin Rongkang followed his stepmother's legs and said with a bitter face: "Mom, please call a doctor. You need to take medicine quickly. You can't die!"

"Well, it's probably a cold. He won't die." Bai Sui'an sat down and tried to make his face look paler.

I didn't care whether the two children would think it was ridiculous to catch a cold in such hot weather, I just pretended to be cold.

Lin Yashu held her face in her hands and came to the rescue of her stepmother: "Brother, come closer. Mom has a cold and can't be surrounded by people. She won't get better."

The little girl deceived her good brother with just a few words.

Thinking that his mother would never get better, Lin Rongkang shook his head and chose a seat farther away to sit down.

She also reminded Li Xi: "Auntie, you should sit further away too."

Li Xi's eyebrows curved, and she grinned as she sat down next to Lin Rongkang: "Okay, then I'll sit next to you."

Qi Decheng and Ji Wei recovered and followed the candlelight in.

Zhuying brought a lot of things, some of which were toys for children, some books, and some small jewelry. She gave one or two pieces to Li Xi, but most of her food was food.

Ye Lingche asked Qi Decheng and his wife to stay and asked Zhuying to help cook some delicious dishes at home for lunch today.

Zhuying was going to be the chef, so Li Xi and Qi Decheng went in to offer their help. Lin Yashu brought A'di and Ji Wei to watch outside, leaving Ye Lingche and Bai Sui'an some space to themselves.

At this moment, Bai Sui'an was still staying in the room pretending to be sick. Ye Lingche came in and closed the door.

Thinking that he was going to ask about what Li Xi had said, Bai Sui'an was ready to speak.

Ye Lingche asked another question: "What kind of business do you want to make? I'll let Zhuying arrange it for you. Just tell me what you need, and I'll have them do it for you. It's a profit."

No?

Bai Sui'an was confused: "Zhuying came here to help me with business?"

"The main reason is that I'm worried that you can't spare the time to go to the town to do some work, so I asked Zhuying to bring the child you saved to our place." Ye Lingche's eyes fell on the account book on the table.

After a pause, he said, "It would be troublesome for you to learn how to do accounting from scratch. I can teach you slowly, but you can let me help you with opening the shop first. The shop will be opened in your name. I will give you the capital, and all the money you earn will be yours."

Bai Sui'an now understood that he just didn't have time to return the account book, so he brought it back.

Ye Lingche happened to see this and thought that she wanted to learn how to do business, so he wanted to help her.

"I didn't want to open a shop. It was Mr. Wan's son. We happened to know each other before, so he asked me to join him. However, he didn't seem to understand the ways of business, so I asked him for two account books to show Baili Mo."

The more Bai Sui'an explained, the darker Ye Lingche's face became.

After a moment, he asked, "So... you want me to help you open a shop with another man?"

Knowing that he is the seventh prince and in charge of the largest chamber of commerce in Qianheng Kingdom, he still showed the account book to Baili Mo?
