I became a vicious stepmother and I went to the sea to feed my three children.

The people from Taoshui Village blocked their way.

"This is Taoshui Village. How can you just come and go as you please?"

"Before the king's law, what? You still want to imprison us here?"

The group of people looked at each other and subconsciously made way for them.

After they left, a group of people looked at the people from the Bai family impatiently.

"Didn't you say that Bai Dahai would definitely hand over the things? But what about now?"

"What a waste!"

Many people spat at them and turned away with gloomy faces.

"You bunch of damned bastards, it's obvious that you came to our house to beg for something, and now that you didn't get it, you blame us, right?"

"You're a bunch of heartless bastards! Get out of my house now! You're not welcome!"

After scolding them, Wang Lai Di seemed still unsatisfied, so she took a broom and went straight to the door to drive them away.

"Go, go, go, get out of here!"

After returning to the yard, he saw Bai Daliang still standing there and glared at him fiercely.

"Useless thing, didn't you have a very good relationship with Bai Dahai before? Now you can't even get anything out of me. I really raised you for nothing!"

After saying that, Wang Lai Di walked into the house without looking back and closed the door. As for Wang Daliang, he stood in the yard.

"Grandma, what are you doing?"

Not long after, a sharp voice suddenly came from the room.

"What are you doing? I've raised you for so many years. Now it's time for you to repay me.

It just so happens that Master Wang's family is still short of a concubine. You can go and fill the gap for me. Their betrothal gift is over fifty taels of silver!"

Hearing the sound, Wang Daliang didn't bother to stand there in a daze and rushed in.

"Mom, Qinglian is only fifteen years old. How can she marry that old man? He already has one foot in the coffin."

"Why can't she marry him? Master Wang is a wealthy man after all. If she marries him, she will have everything she wants. It's clearly a bargain for him!"

"Besides, if she doesn't marry him and there's no betrothal gift, how is Xiaoshan going to pay the bride price?"

After saying this, Wang Lai Di didn't even look at Bai Daliang, and directly dragged the crying Bai Qinglian out.

As for Wang Daliang, Wang Lai Di glared at him fiercely and he didn't dare to say a word. He could only stand in the yard in a daze.

On the other side, Bai Dahai and Xue Mei looked at each other after getting on the carriage.

He glanced at Bai Qingyao cautiously.

"Yaoyao, are you angry?"

"Well, Dad..."

Seeing his daughter's cold face, Bai Dahai really didn't know what to say and felt even more panicked.

"My daughter, Daddy really didn't mean to hide this from you. I originally thought that Daddy could solve this matter by himself by coming back, but I didn't expect..."

Bai Qingyao looked up at them, "Father and Mother, who are the Bai family? Didn't you see clearly last time? I know you care about blood ties, but the premise is that you can't risk your own lives."

"When Bai Daliang learned you had left the Bai family, he never thought of coming to see you. But this time? He quietly ran to Dayuan Village to find you, just to lure you back. How much affection does he have for you?"

Bai Qingyao knew that people in the situation naturally couldn't see clearly, but she still couldn't help but get angry.

After hearing his words, Bai Dahai didn't dare to say anything and could only listen to his daughter's complaints.

"Father and Mother, I don't blame you, but you should prioritize your own safety from now on. Even if you want to go back, you must at least tell me."

"we know."

After saying this, Bai Dahai raised his eyes and glanced at her quietly.

Bai Qingyao just sat there and didn't say anything else.

The couple knew that they had made their daughter angry, so they didn't dare say anything and just looked at each other quietly.

When I returned to Dayuan Village, the Gu family was quiet.

Bai Qingyao looked puzzled. Why were the three little ones so quiet?

When I pushed the door open and walked in, I didn't see the three little ones, but I saw Gu Yichen sitting in the yard.

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, why did you come back together?"

Gu Yichen didn't see Bai Dahai and Xue Mei today, and thought they had gone somewhere, but he didn't expect them to come back with Bai Qingyao.

"Where are the children?"

"The master took them out fishing."

Bai Qingyao nodded. No wonder the house was so quiet.

"Are you done with all your work?"

She walked to the table very casually, sat down, and poured herself a cup of tea.

When Gu Yichen heard this, he looked up at him but shook his head.

"I came back this time to tell you that I might be away for a while, and my return date is uncertain."

Bai Qingyao raised her eyes. "Is it troublesome?"

Otherwise, Gu Yichen would not have said this.

"Fortunately, it is within the scope of handling. However, this matter cannot be handled here. I need to go to the capital."

Bai Qingyao understood and thought it had something to do with his background, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Gu Yichen suddenly turned around and looked at her.

"When I come back, I want to tell you something."

He said this in such a serious tone that Bai Qingyao was stunned, and then nodded.

"it is good."

After hearing her words, Gu Yichen finally stood up with confidence and said, "Then I'll go first."

"Leave now?"

"Well, the matter is urgent. The sooner we reach the capital, the better. I came back today just to say goodbye to you."

"Do the three little ones know?"

If they knew that Gu Yichen did not say goodbye to them, they would probably feel disappointed.

"I've just gone to see them. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Looking at his leaving back, Bai Qingyao felt a strange feeling in her heart for some reason.

My heartstrings seemed to be touched.

She withdrew her gaze, suppressed the strange movement in her heart, and turned around to see Bai Dahai and Xue Mei.

"Father, mother, what are you doing?"

Bai Dahai and the other man who were discovered coughed lightly.

"Hey, girl, um... um, we really didn't mean it, so don't be angry."

Bai Qingyao sighed helplessly, "I'm not angry."

"That's good."

After hearing this answer, the two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief. On the way back from Taoshui Village, they were all nervous, thinking that Bai Qingyao was angry, and they didn't dare to talk to her much.

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

The jewelry shop has opened, and the final products made by the previous craftsmen are almost the same as the design drawings.

Later, Bai Qingyao simply decorated it, and an antique shop appeared.

"Qingyao, I never thought that one day I would be able to open a shop myself!"

"You don't know, when Sun Xing'er found out that I opened this shop, her face was extremely ugly."

"And my grandmother, she's even more sullen. Business in her shop is booming now, and my father praises her highly..."

Sun Yunyun felt very happy. She finally got rid of her anger in front of that group of people, especially Sun Xing'er.

"Miss Bai, I didn't expect such a coincidence that we would meet here again."
