When Lin Mo returned, she and Xu Pinggui were carrying large bags and packages.

As soon as she appeared, the Xu sisters excitedly stepped forward and took the things she was carrying.

"Sister-in-law, you're finally back! I was so worried about you."

"I'm fine," Lin Mo shook her head.

She bought a lot of ingredients and asked her sisters to help Granny Qin prepare lunch so they could have a good meal.

At this point, who would still keep quiet?

Now that they have grown strong enough, they are no longer afraid of anyone in the team.

When she saw her mother looking at her with concern, Lin Mo grinned at her.

Liu Ying was finally relieved.

He glanced at her, then at Xu Wuyan, and shook his head.

“Talk to Wu Yan, he’s worried about you. I’ll go help him.”

As she spoke, she hurriedly went to the kitchen to help.

Momo returned home late at night and needed space and time for the young couple to talk.

Lin Mo glanced at the various brocade boxes beside the carriage and raised an eyebrow:

"Lord Luo, did someone send over the medicinal herbs?"

Xu Wuyan nodded.

Lin Mo chuckled and turned to look at Murong, who was sitting not far away, reading a book:

"Miss Murong!"

Murong looked up at the sound, her eyes filled with disdain:

"You accepted other people's medicinal herbs and doubted my abilities. I'm in a bad mood and don't want to talk to you."

Lin Mo chuckled:

"So, I'll give you all of these as compensation, how about that?"

To be honest, no matter how precious or good the medicinal herbs that Prince Luo sent were, she wouldn't dare give them to Xu Wuyan.

Who knows if he tampered with the medicinal herbs?

If she tampered with it and then used it on Xu Wuyan, wouldn't that ruin him?

Upon hearing this, Murong's eyes lit up:

"really?"

"Even pearls aren't this real. Take it if you want!" Lin Mo laughed.

She's very generous when it comes to using other people's money for her own.

As if afraid she would regret it, Murong rushed over, picked up the brocade boxes, and left.

"You promised to give it to me, don't go back on your word."

"No, not at all." Lin Mo replied generously.

He didn't want it, so he threw it away himself.

She wouldn't accept anything that was even slightly questionable.

"Hehe, then I'll gladly accept it." Murong said as he walked away.

"Once I've refined the medicine, I'll share half with you."

These medicines are quite precious; it would be a shame to throw them away.

He'll be there; he'll make sure it's spotless.

Lin Mo shrugged, not taking up the topic, and instead looked at Xu Wuyan:

"Are you feeling any better?"

"I'm fine, but you are!" Xu Wuyan frowned.

Did he give you any trouble?

"No." Lin Mo shook her head, her voice very low.

“He asked me to go, and he was trying to find out about Qingfeng Village indirectly, but I turned him away. I’m afraid they’re still not giving up.”

After hesitating for a moment, she finally told him about how the Prince of Luo had tried to kidnap her the night before.

“I suspect that the father and son have a disagreement and hold different opinions. The Crown Prince of Luo insists that it is me, while the Prince of Luo is probably hesitant.”

"When I left this morning, although the Crown Prince of Luo's face was covered with powder, I could still see the fingerprints. I guess he was beaten because of what happened last night. Also, when I left, someone followed me, but I don't know if it was someone from the King of Luo or someone from the Crown Prince of Luo."

The thought of the Prince of Luo being beaten made Lin Mo unable to help but feel schadenfreude.

Two words: Serves them right.

However, it's likely that the Crown Prince of Luo will hold himself accountable.

A flash of malice crossed Xu Wuyan's eyes as he gripped Lin Mo's hand tightly, relieved that she was alright.

They kidnapped her, probably intending to torture her into confessing.

He was glad she changed rooms.

"Be more restrained." Lin Mo pulled her hand away.

People from the Luo Prince's Mansion were watching him from all sides. With such a murderous look, the Luo Prince probably didn't know that his injuries weren't serious.

Xu Wuyan lay there dejectedly, "I regret it."

If he hadn't used this plan, she wouldn't have had to see the Prince of Luo, nor would she have faced any danger.

Lin Mo glanced at him, thinking that regret was useless.

"Do you think we could find something for Prince Luo to do, so he won't have time to bother us?" Lin Mo pondered.

"It'll be soon," Xu Wuyan said sullenly.

"By evening, he won't have time to cause trouble for us."

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. "What did you do?"

She knew Xu Wuyan wouldn't be without a plan; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed after being seriously injured in his previous life.

"Just causing him a little trouble," Xu Wuyan sighed.

"Isn't the price of grain very high right now? People are making a ruckus because they don't have enough food."

"Tell me, if the people knew that the King of Luo had three granaries full of grain, what would the starving masses do?"

At this point, a cold glint flashed in Xu Wuyan's eyes:

"He was forced to bleed, and he must have felt the pain for a long time."

To win over the hearts of the people, the King of Luo pretended to be a great philanthropist for many years.

The grain in these three granaries was grain he had stockpiled for his rebellion.

If forced to take it out, it could cost him half his life.

Furthermore, King Luo's plan goes beyond just this.

He must have built his own granaries in various places.

A dark glint flashed in Xu Wuyan's eyes.

Lin Mo felt a little guilty.

She could say that Xu Wuyan's idea was good. If there really was food, although the Prince of Luo would feel the pinch, he could still comfort himself by pretending to be a great philanthropist once again.

But this time, the King of Luo will be heartbroken.

She collected all the grain from the Luowang granary last night.

The King of Luo's granaries are now completely empty.

Lin Mo couldn't help but cautiously glance at Xu Wuyan:

"What if his granaries are empty?"

"How could that be?" Xu Wuyan shook his head.

"My spies have informed me that the Prince of Luo has secretly stored grain in three granaries..."

At this point, he also noticed Lin Mo's guilty look.

My heart skipped a beat.

Don't tell him that his wife is causing trouble.

Look at her expression...

Xu Wuyan sighed inwardly; it seemed the plan needed to be changed.

He looked up and chuckled softly.

"Empty granaries are better."

The people can ask the King of Luo where all the grain reserves have gone; the King of Luo is even more distressed and pained.

Yes, that's right.

Before, it was just a matter of financial pain; now, it's a combination of headache and financial pain, adding insult to injury.

This requires some proper guidance from someone.

Lin Mo nodded awkwardly:

"Alright. Just make sure the Prince of Luo is busy and won't have time for us."

I'm a little sleepy, I'm going to take a nap.

Don't call me for dinner; I just ate quite a bit.

After saying that, he hurriedly walked towards the tent.

She was afraid that Xu Wuyan would continue to press her about why there was no grain in the granary.

He's a smart man; there are probably some things that can't be hidden from him.

If we continue, he might actually discover something unusual.

After watching Lin Mo enter the tent, Xu Wuyan finally looked away. It seemed that his wife had a secret.

Xu Wuyan looked towards the gate of the post station.

He didn't miss it; the King's personal guards kept glancing at his side.

The iron ore has all disappeared.

The food has disappeared too!

His wife's secret is quite big.

Xu Wuyan narrowed his eyes. Connecting the two events, he could find her figure in both.

King Luo is no fool.

If he analyzes these two things separately.

You'll then find that his wife was involved in both of these incidents.

Although it is unknown how she did it, the King of Luo suffered heavy losses, and if there is even the slightest suspicion, the King of Luo will definitely not let her go.

By then, his wife will likely be in grave danger.

We need to find a way to divert the Prince of Luo's attention, at least to prevent him from suspecting his wife.

How do we do this?

Xu Wuyan fell into thought.

His wife has really left him with a huge problem.

……

Lin Mo was completely unaware of Xu Wuyan's worries and slept straight through until dusk.

At this time, the light inside the tent was dim, and there was no one inside.

Lin Mo sat up and stretched contentedly.

I haven't had a good night's sleep in ages. After a good night's sleep, I feel so comfortable.

The faint sounds of arguing could be heard outside the tent.

Lin Mo disagreed. Since the exile, when has there not been a day when no one has argued?

We're used to arguing.

So, after tidying herself up, Lin Mo came out of the tent.

As soon as she came out, all the arguing stopped abruptly.

All eyes were on her, their gazes a mixture of pity, disdain, and mockery.

Lin Mo frowned. What terrible thing had she done this time that made everyone look at her like that?

Before she could speak, Xu Xianyu walked over:

"Sister-in-law, come on, I'll go to the kitchen with you to cook!"

"Sister-in-law, let me go with you to get firewood." Xu Mengxian also came over.

The two sisters exchanged a glance, realizing the situation was bad.

This is a classic case of "protesting too much."

It would be strange if my sister-in-law didn't notice anything unusual.

really……

Looking up, Xu Xianyu saw his sister-in-law staring at him strangely. He smiled wryly.

"Sister-in-law, we believe in you."

Don't listen to these people's foul language, lest you offend your ears.

"Exactly, don't listen to those gossipy women and men." Xu Mengxian was also furious.

“These gossipy women and men are just idle and looking for trouble. Sister-in-law, don’t bother with them.”

Lin Mo glanced at her:

"You got into a fight with them?"

"I bumped into it by accident." Xu Mengxian's eyes flashed, and she avoided looking directly at him.

"Sister-in-law, let me go with you to get some firewood. We don't have much left."

Hmph, just wait until he comes back. As long as my brother comes back, he will definitely deal with them and avenge me.

"No need, Xu Ping'an and the others can handle the firewood." Lin Mo shook her head, turned to look at the crowd staring at her, and smiled slightly.

"If you have the guts, say it to my face, and I'll give you a second glance. Do you dare?"
