My treasure bowl connects the past and present; I've won everything on my journey into exile.

Chapter 14 Is this what family, closest relatives are like?

Xu Mengxian got goosebumps from Lin Mo's stare and felt a moment of regret.

She nervously swallowed.

"I...I need to talk to you!"

"I have nothing to talk to you about." Lin Mo glanced at her, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"You're dumber than a three-year-old. Are you sure I can get anything out of you?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Mengxian became furious.

She immediately forgot her earlier fear and glared angrily at Lin Mo:

"You're the idiot."

"If you're so tough, come over there with me and we'll talk."

Seeing Lin Mo staring at her, a hint of unease flashed in her eyes:

"I... I don't want my older brother to know I'm looking for you. Humph, do you dare come with me?"

Speaking of her older brother, Xu Mengxian couldn't help but feel indignant:

"It's all your fault, you vicious woman! You drove a wedge between me and my brother and sister, making them ignore me. You're a vicious woman, I hate you."

Lin Mo glanced at her, her eyes filled with disdain:

"Are you done talking?"

After saying that, I left.

Idiot, instead of wasting time trying to drive a wedge between the siblings, you should be reminiscing about what happened every day during your exile in your past life.

Seeing that Lin Mo was really about to leave, Xu Mengxian became anxious.

He quickly reached out to grab Lin Mo.

Lin Mo was caught off guard and was caught red-handed. She instinctively swung her hand out, trying to shake her off.

"Ahhh!"

Xu Mengxian screamed and fell backward.

Looking at Xu Mengxian, who was covered in mud, Lin Mo could only think, "What a nuisance."

He reached out and pulled Xu Mengxian up from the ground.

Before she could speak, Xu Mengxian burst into tears:

"Waaah, my clothes were already wet, and I was cold from being wet."

Now you've pushed me again, getting my clothes all muddy. You really are a wicked woman.

Lin Mo rolled her eyes. "If you didn't arrest me, would I push you?"

Also, if your clothes are wet, can't you find a way to make a fire and dry them when you have time?

Coming here to argue with yourself, you're clearly out of your mind.

"Who told you to leave?" Xu Mengxian screamed.

I couldn't resist reaching out to wipe my face, and only then did I realize that I had smeared mud on my face.

At that age when she loves beauty, she screamed again on the spot:

"Ugh, it's so dirty, I need to wash my face."

You have to come with me to get cleaned up, do you hear me!

Xu Mengxian was furious.

Lin Mo didn't want to argue with her anymore. She was partly responsible for the mud on her clothes, so she nodded impatiently.

"hurry up."

If we delay any longer, we'll have to gather and depart.

In a past life, someone missed the assembly time and was treated as a fugitive.

Being a fugitive has a terrible fate.

Not only will he be wanted by the police, but his family will also be forced into becoming runaway slaves.

"There's a puddle over there, let's go there!"

Xu Mengxian pointed to the side and quickly walked over.

He took two steps, then, seeing she wasn't following, turned around and roared:

"Hurry up."

If you dare not come with me, I'll tell my older brother, and he'll hit and push me.

A coldness crept onto Lin Mo's face.

But she didn't want to cause trouble at this time.

Seeing that the puddle was indeed not far away, they followed it.

Seeing her squat down to wash her face, Lin Mo stopped in her tracks. "Hurry up, we're about to leave."

"Don't push me!"

Xu Mengxian's voice sounded a little nervous.

Lin Mo frowned. Something was wrong; Xu Mengxian's behavior was a bit off.

At that moment, Han Feng, a guard of the Han family, leaped down from the tree, slamming his hand down hard on Lin Mo's head.

With a thud, Lin Mo felt a sharp pain in her head and fainted.

Xu Mengxian turned around.

Seeing Lin Mo lying on the ground, Xu Mengxian became anxious:

"Han Feng, she...she's not dead, is she?"

I never intended for her to die.

"No, he was just knocked unconscious." Han Feng shook his head.

"She will probably be unconscious for about an hour before she wakes up."

"It's almost time, Miss, let's hurry back. If we don't go back soon, it will arouse suspicion."

Xu Mengxian glanced quickly at Lin Mo lying on the wetland, then hurriedly followed Han Feng and left.

Lin Mo, don't blame me.

Blame yourself for being heartless and ungrateful.

If you were nicer to your maternal grandparents, there wouldn't be so many problems.

……

Meanwhile, Xu Wuyan...

When Xu Pingan and Xu Pinggui returned and Lin Mo was nowhere to be seen, they frowned.

It's almost half an hour, why hasn't she returned yet?

He looked at the two of them, "Did you encounter the lady in the mountains?"

"no!"

The two shook their heads.

Lin Shuo, who was standing nearby, became anxious and said, "Brother-in-law, I'm going to find my sister."

After saying that, he was about to rush into the mountains and forests.

"Lin Shuo, come back." Xu Wuyan called out to him:

"Don't wander off, I'm going to find your sister, you stay here."

Just as he finished speaking, Qian Zhengchang shouted:

"Get up, everyone, and prepare to continue our journey."

Xu Wuyan's face immediately darkened; there was no time to lose.

He looked at Xu Dapeng, who nodded, got up, and walked forward.

"You guys stay here and don't wander off. I'll be back as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

Meanwhile, Xu Dapeng found Lao Wei, immediately offered him money, and said that his young master had diarrhea and needed to wait a while.

Old Wei weighed the money pouch in his hand, a slight smile playing on his lips:

"In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."

Xu Dapeng nodded, "Okay!"

Old Wei looked up and roared, "If you need to poop or pee, hurry up and take care of it for me. Don't start whining about needing to poop or pee as soon as we're on the road, do you hear me?"

"Once we're on the road, anyone who dares to shout will get a whipping from me. Hurry up and go."

……

Upon hearing this, many people immediately rushed towards the woods.

After glancing at the crowd dispersing in all directions, Lao Wei nodded to Xu Dapeng.

Xu Dapeng understood and turned to leave.

Qian Zhengchang witnessed this entire scene. As soon as Xu Dapeng left, Qian Zhengchang immediately stepped forward, frowning:

"Master Wei, why?"

"No need for so many questions, money paves the way." Old Wei pulled out his money pouch and tossed it in his hand.

"We work as escorts for money. If we delay our journey by the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, we can earn some extra cash. It's a good deal, as long as it doesn't delay our journey."

Qian Zhengchang didn't say anything more. It was normal for escorts to make extra money.

Otherwise, this job is tiring, difficult, and risky, so who would do it?

Qian Zhengchang glanced discreetly in the direction of the Xu family, and when he realized that Xu Wuyan was not there, he felt a little regretful.

It's probably because Xu Wuyan hasn't returned that the Xu family steward is spending money to buy time.

Unfortunately, he didn't notice it immediately.

This opportunity was wasted.

The time it takes to drink a cup of tea passes quickly.

At this time, Xu Wuyan and Lin Mo had not returned. Xu Xianyu and the Lin family mother and son were extremely worried, fearing that they would not return in time and that the two would be judged as fugitives.

Xu Dapeng's eyes darkened. He pressed his sleeve pocket. No, he had to delay a little longer to buy time for the young master.

Just as he was about to bribe Lao Wei again, Xu Wuyan walked back with a sullen face.

Lin Shuo was excited.

But when he didn't see his sister, his excitement turned into disappointment and panic.

Where is his sister?

"Wu Yan, where is Mo Mo?" Liu Ying's voice trembled slightly.

Especially now that the escorts were urging them to set off again, Liu Ying trembled with fear.

I couldn't find her.

Xu Wuyan sent Xu Dapeng over to buy some more time.

But just then, Madam Han came over with a group of female members of the Han family, and they stopped Xu Dapeng.

"Hehe, Wu Yan. I saw it; your wicked, jinxed wife hasn't come back. Did you curse her to death, or did she become a fugitive?" Madam Han covered her mouth and chuckled.

"It's good that that unfilial and wicked woman is gone. Look at all the things she did, they were disgusting. Now that she's gone, you can kick the Lin family and servants off the carriage. I'll bring your cousins over and squeeze into the carriage with you. You don't mind, do you?"

"Kill, kill him?" Liu Ying's body went limp and she collapsed to the side.

"Mother!" Lin Shuo quickly caught her.

Then, the furious Queen Dowager roared:

"Let me tell you, even if you die, my sister won't die. Shut your mouth."

Madam Han's face turned cold, and she raised her hand to slap Lin Shuo:

"You little brat, who gave you permission to talk to me like that?"

Snapped!

Before Madam Han could strike Lin Shuo, Xu Wuyan grabbed her hand.

“Aunt, he’s just a child.” Xu Wuyan said coldly.

Madam Han withdrew her hand. "Hmph, forget it. I'm too magnanimous to hold a grudge against him."

Then he looked at Xu Wuyan with an arrogant air:

"I've come to ask you for a carriage. Will you give it to me or not?"
