“Madam, he…” Xu Wuyan turned to look at her, his eyes filled with frustration:

"Who is he?"

He said this through gritted teeth.

Snapped!

Lin Mo slapped Xu Wuyan across the face while rolling her eyes:

"Thinking of what?

The commotion outside just now was all for the purpose of arresting him.

What was he thinking? Why did he have such a ferocious look on his face?

Xu Wuyan was startled and furious:

"Do you know how dangerous it is?"

How can you save just anyone? What if something happens to you?

He had just been at the pharmacy when he heard the constables arresting an injured man, who was running towards the inn. He was worried, so he rushed back.

Unexpectedly, she was involved in it.

Thankfully, nothing happened; otherwise, he would have felt terribly guilty.

“I’m not stupid, I’ll definitely act within my capabilities. They came in and searched, but they didn’t find anyone.” Lin Mo shook her head.

"Go and see who he is?"

"Who he is is none of my business. I just want to beat him up right now." Xu Wuyan said with a dark face, showing no liking for the other party whatsoever.

He wanted to kill anyone who had almost implicated his wife.

But when he got closer and saw the other person's face clearly, Xu Wuyan was stunned.

The eldest son of the Marquis of Luyang.

How did he end up here, and injured at that?

"Now you know why, right?" Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

"His identity is not simple."

“But it’s also a problem,” Xu Wuyan added, shaking his head.

"The Marquis of Luyang's family was in great disarray. It is said that he was raised by his stepmother to be a spoiled brat, and the marquisate that should have been inherited by him was supposedly intended to be passed on to his stepmother's son."

But if he doesn't die, his stepmother will definitely be afraid of causing trouble, so saving him also means trouble.

"But..." Lin Mo looked up:

"If he inherits the position of Marquis of Luyang, it will be to your advantage, won't it?"

Besides, do you really think he's a spoiled brat?

If he were truly a playboy, how could he have opened the door she had locked?

If he were truly a playboy, how could he evade the pursuit of the yamen runners?

Xu Wuyan paused for a moment, then chuckled:

"Madam is right, it is indeed in our best interest."

He's not a spoiled brat; if he were, he would have died at the hands of his stepmother long ago.

His stepmother is a formidable woman; most people can't get away with anything good from her.

"That settles it then." Lin Mo shrugged.

He stepped forward and pinched his philtrum hard.

"Ahhh!"

Li Weining jumped up in pain, but the movement aggravated his wound, causing him to fall back onto the bed in agony.

He opened his eyes and saw a woman staring at him with a distorted face.

He actually got knocked unconscious by a woman! What a disgrace!

"you……"

Snapped!

His outstretched hand was slapped away by Lin Mo without hesitation.

"Pointing your finger at your savior, is that polite?" Lin Mo said disdainfully.

Seeing his wide eyes, Lin Mo gestured for him to look at her chest:

"I bandaged your wounds, and I tricked the constables who wanted to arrest you. Wouldn't you say I saved your life?"

"Cover it."

Xu Wuyan's face was cold as he stepped forward and pulled the blanket over him.

Hmph, skinny as a wretch, who are you trying to impress?

Li Weining was about to speak, but when he saw Xu Wuyan, his eyebrows twitched:

"The Crown Prince of Anning?"

“Hmm, the foolish son of the Marquis of Luyang.” Xu Wuyan directly exposed his identity.

It's not surprising that he knew his own identity, but his foolish son...

Li Weining twitched the corner of his mouth. "That sounds awful."

"She is……"

"Lin Mo, my wife, she saved you." Xu Wuyan did not take credit.

Li Weining touched his nose and looked at Lin Mo seriously:

"Since you saved me, I won't hold it against you for knocking me out. On the contrary, I owe you a life-saving favor. If you ever need help in the future, just ask me. I will help if I can."

Lin Mo rolled her eyes and found a seat.

"Don't blame me for knocking you out."

You broke into my house and even choked me. I didn't kill you; you should be laughing all the way to the bank.

Also, can you help me?

Are you sure you can help me? I doubt you can even take care of yourself.

Xu Wuyan's face darkened, and he stared at him with sinister eyes:

"Li Weining, you're choking my wife?"

Seeing his terrifying, murderous gaze, Li Weining chuckled dryly, "An accident, an accident."

I never intended to really hurt her; I just wanted to scare her so she wouldn't alert anyone!

As for being looked down upon, in the face of danger, forget it, I won't bother with it!

Who told me to be a playboy in public?

next second...

boom!

Xu Wuyan punched Li Weining.

Li Weining's eyes widened in shock, then rolled back in his head and he fainted.

Scare her?

I just wanted to hit you.

Xu Wuyan looked at Li Weining, whom he had knocked unconscious, with disgust.

Lin Mo stared in astonishment at the unconscious Li Weining, then frowned and looked at Xu Wuyan:

Why did you knock him unconscious?

"He pinched you, he deserved to be hit." Xu Wuyan said righteously.

Lin Mo, “…”

He had a headache and pointed to Li Weining, who had fainted.

"It's getting late, we need to buy things and get back quickly. You knocked him out, so what are we going to do next?"

"It's alright, just leave him here. We've already paid for the room anyway." Xu Wuyan said dismissively. "Extend his stay for another day and tell the manager not to go up and bother him. Just send him food up at mealtimes."

Lin Mo thought about it and agreed.

So, after Xu Wuyan left the note, the two of them told the shopkeeper what they were doing and then left.

After driving the carriage out, Xu Wuyan first took her to the pharmacy to get her medicine and drink it.

After discussing it, Lin Mo went to buy various things, while Xu Wuyan went to a restaurant to book three tables of food.

After Lin Mo bought everything, she took a carriage to meet him.

Well, this job assignment was something Lin Mo fought for.

Xu Wuyan sighed as he watched her drive away in the carriage.

His wife is too difficult to work with, making him feel like he has no place to use his talents.

He shook his head and turned to walk towards the restaurant not far away.

Meanwhile, Lin Mo drove the carriage straight to the grain store.

Sure enough, the rice was sold out, and the flour was sold out too.

All that was left were some sweet potatoes and soybeans.

Lin Mo didn't want sweet potatoes; after thinking for a moment, she bought a small half-bag of soybeans.

As she threw the rice into the carriage, she also took out three bags of rice from her storage space.

That's why she came to buy things.

If Xu Wuyan were to come, he would likely return empty-handed.

Then she drove the carriage to the cloth shop.

With a wave of his hand, he took several bolts of unremarkable cotton cloth, which was durable, dirt-resistant, and inconspicuous in color.

I also bought several bolts of other comfortable and soft fabrics.

The plan was to have Xu Xianyu and the others make clothes while they were in the carriage.

She has a lot of fabric in her space.

But these fabrics are not meant to be seen in public, and they are expensive. If you make clothes out of them and wear them out, you'll be asking for trouble for the rest of your journey.

They need to keep a low profile for the rest of the journey.

After putting the fabric away, Lin Mo thought for a moment, then took out some commonly used medicines, seasonings, and dried goods from her spatial storage before finally getting into the carriage to find Xu Wuyan, completely satisfied.

When she arrived, Xu Wuyan's side was already prepared.

After the waiter helped him load the food box onto the carriage, Xu Wuyan took the reins:

Is there anything else you want to buy?

Lin Mo glanced back at the contents of the carriage, which was almost half full, and shook her head:

"That's almost it. Let's go."

"Okay, then let's go back." Xu Wuyan nodded and drove the carriage back.

He told Lin Mo to sit inside the carriage, as it was windy and cold outside.

It's getting late now, and it's much colder than when they came out.

Lin Mo did not refuse and sat back down in the carriage.

She stretched out her legs and breathed a sigh of relief.

When she saw her shoes, which were almost completely worn flat, she realized that she had forgotten to buy new soles.

She glanced at Xu Wuyan secretly, and after confirming that he wasn't looking at her, she secretly took out a large pile of shoe soles from her spatial storage and placed them aside.

At that moment, she felt like she was doing something wrong.

Lin Mo shook her head, leaned back in the carriage, assumed her most comfortable position, took out a bag of pastries, and slowly began to eat.

The food made in the imperial kitchen is just delicious.

Soft, chewy, sweet, and delicious.

"lady."

Lin Mo, who was enjoying her meal, immediately sat up straight when she heard Xu Wuyan call her name.

"You called me, is there something you need?"

"Hmm, I'm hungry!" Xu Wuyan said calmly.

"Is there anything to eat?"

“Yes,” Lin Mo glanced at the pastries in her hand and handed them over with a regretful expression:

"for you."

“Madam,” Xu Wuyan turned to look at her:

"I'm driving the carriage, so it's not convenient for me to take it."

Lin Mo frowned. "You can hold the reins with one hand."

"My hands are dirty."

Lin Mo, “…”

If you want me to feed him, just say so. Why pretend your hands are busy or dirty?

Lin Mo placed the pastries directly on the carriage shaft beside her and scoffed:

"Eat it or not."

Want to feed him yourself? Dream on!

"Madam, you really don't care about me at all." Xu Wuyan sighed, reached out and picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

I took a bite and froze.

This cloud cake...

It tastes just like what the imperial chefs in the palace made. Is it just my imagination?

Lin Mo grinned. "Isn't this a hand to eat?"

Seeing him turn around and look at her, Lin Mo raised an eyebrow:

"Is it tasty?"

"good to eat!"

Xu Wuyan turned his head and continued driving the carriage; he was probably overthinking things.

Lin Mo, bored, looked out of the carriage.

It was getting dark soon, and they needed to get back as quickly as possible.

Just then, Lin Mo suddenly narrowed her eyes, staring at the figure carrying and lifting in front of her:

"Xu Wuyan, look who's up ahead. Am I seeing things?"
