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

"Madam, what are you thinking about?"

Xu Wuyan's hand landed on her shoulder, which startled Lin Mo.

Thinking about her filthy thoughts just now, Lin Mo's face tightened.

She awkwardly dodged to the side, letting his hand fall.

She didn't want Xu Wuyan to meet that angelic girl. What was she thinking?

How could she be so selfish?

This is Xu Wuyan's life; how could she change the good side of his life?

And most importantly, that girl can help Xu Wuyan.

Since I'm in the same boat as him, I'll naturally benefit from it as well.

……

I'm spacing out again.

Xu Wuyan shook his head.

He reached out and grabbed her hand. "Madam, what are you thinking about?"

"Where did I do something wrong?"

Lin Mo withdrew her hand and shook her head:

"No."

He hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Xu Wuyan, I have a question for you."

If there were someone who could protect you safely to your place of exile, but because of me, you two couldn't meet, would you blame me?

Xu Wuyan smiled.

He reached out and touched her forehead. "You don't have a fever, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Lin Mo looked uncomfortable and pulled his hand away:

"I'm not talking nonsense."

Xu Wuyan shook his head, "Lin Mo, listen carefully."

I, Xu Wuyan, do not need anyone's protection, understand?

If I only got to know him because I needed his protection, and I was using him, have you considered that he might also be using me?

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo was stunned.

A strange feeling welled up inside her. Had she overlooked something?

"Madam, have you considered that if we are truly destined to be together, no matter how others try to stop us, we will still meet? So, Madam, please don't overthink it." Xu Wuyan's lips curled slightly.

“I told you I’d take care of everything, and I wasn’t just saying that.”

A profound meaning flashed in Xu Wuyan's eyes.

Now that we've come this far, the emperor's spies must have already withdrawn.

From now on, there's no need to hide anything anymore.

No matter how down on their luck the men of the Xu family are, they will never let their entire family suffer.

Lin Mo didn't say anything and continued on her way.

Soon it was noon.

Because they had bought a lot of things the day before, no one went looking for food for lunch that day; instead, they ate the dry rations they had prepared the day before.

Lin Mo took the hot water handed to her by Granny Qin and slowly took a sip.

After drinking hot water, the chill in my body instantly subsided.

Lin Mo covered the cup with both hands, warming her hands.

Although it hasn't snowed these past few days, the weather has been very cold, and my hands and feet are sore from the cold.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Mo asked Granny Qin to boil more hot water so that she could fill the water bag later and use it for warmth.

She had just given the order when a commotion nearby caught her attention.

It's Li Ping.

Seeing Li Ping being pushed to the ground by Chen Zhihua, Lin Mo instinctively wanted to go and help, but in the end she didn't get up.

Others can't help her forever; there are some things she has to handle herself.

So Lin Mo blew on the water in her glass and drank it slowly, seemingly having no intention of helping.

Xu Wuyan, who was standing to the side, was a little surprised. He thought she would help.

After glancing at it, Xu Wuyan casually drank the water in his hand.

Li Ping, who had been pushed down, had already gotten up from the ground.

They shielded their children behind them, fearing that Chen Zhihua would come up and attack them.

When Li Ping saw Chen Zhihua throwing her luggage off her cart, she was filled with rage.

For a long time, whenever she had something good, they would shamelessly come and snatch it.

In the past, I would have let it go.

But now, we absolutely cannot let things continue like this.

Mrs. Xu is right.

Chen Zhihua is completely unreliable; it's impossible for him to promote my son.

It would be better for them to earn their own future.

And what will happen to my luggage if he takes the stroller away?

She's a woman with four children; she can't possibly carry all that stuff.

He's risking his whole family's lives.

Li Ping steeled her resolve and charged headfirst into Chen Zhihua.

The enormous impact sent Chen Zhihua flying, and she herself staggered a few steps before regaining her balance.

"Ouch!"

Chen Zhihua screamed.

The excruciating pain in his lower back made him scream out loud.

Clutching his aching lower back, Chen Zhihua scrambled to his feet.

"You damn bitch, how dare you hit me!"

Feeling slightly dizzy from the sudden movement, Li Ping straightened up, her face filled with anger:

“The cart is mine, you can’t take it away.”

"If you dare touch me again, I'll fight you to the death."

After saying that, he stood directly in front of the cart, looking like he was ready to fight you.

Chen Zhihua was furious. This woman has gone too far! How dare she speak to him like that?

Without saying a word, he rushed over and slapped Li Ping across the face.

boom!

Chen Ruoming suddenly rushed in front of Li Ping and took the slap for her.

This slap swelled up Chen Ruoming's face, and there was also a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

"Ming'er." Li Ping looked at Chen Ruoming with heartache:

"How could you be so foolish? Your mother doesn't need you to shield me."

"Mom, I'm fine." Chen Ruoming shook his head. "I'm not in pain. I'm the man of our family, and I can protect you."

……

Chen Zhihua, standing to the side, was smug:

"Hmph, this is your lesson."

"Once you marry into the Chen family, you have no right to say no. If I want something, you have to give it to me."

After saying that, he immediately walked over smugly, ready to push the cart away.

With this cart, things will be a bit easier for him.

At this moment, Li Ping was already seething with anger.

He beat her son and then tried to take her things. Does he really think he's easy to bully?

So when he pushed the cart, Li Ping finally snapped.

She suddenly rushed towards Chen Zhihua and, with a forceful push, knocked him to the ground.

Then he kicked him hard, yelling like a madman:

"I told you not to hit my son."

"I'll teach you to take my things."

"Chen Zhihua, let me tell you, you'll never take anything from me again, not even a peek. If you dare come here, I'll beat you to death!"

……

Those around them were dumbfounded as they watched the gentle Li Ping suddenly hug Chen Zhihua as if she had gone mad.

It turns out that when pushed to the limit, even the gentlest person can become ruthless.

Seeing this, Lin Mo's lips curled slightly.

If she is a hopeless case, I will definitely keep my distance from her in the future.

And now... it looks pretty good.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Old Wei storming towards them.

Lin Mo immediately got up from the ground and walked over:

"Mr. Wei, would you like a drink?"

Old Wei stopped, his eyes narrowing dangerously. "This has nothing to do with you, right?"

When did Lin Mo start meddlesome?

Lin Mo smiled and shook her head:

"It has nothing to do with me, Mr. Wei. I was just asking if you wanted to drink."

Did I say anything that made you misunderstand?

Looking at Lin Mo's innocent face, Old Wei shook his head:

"do not want!"

The words were barely out of his mouth before he was about to leave.

"Master Wei, our ancestor said that meddling in other people's family affairs is a thankless task." Lin Mo stepped forward to stop him.

"It would be great to have a drink when you have time."

I've acquired a new wine, but Master Wei doesn't want to try it.

Knowing she wanted to help that woman, Old Wei glanced at her, then turned to look at Lin Mo:

"If the wine isn't good, I won't be satisfied."

Lin Mo smiled, "I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

With that, he turned and got into the carriage.

When he came down, he had an extra bulging water bag in his hand.

Lin Mo shook her head, "This wine is rare."

"Mr. Wei, you'd better drink sparingly. I don't drink much; once I finish this, it'll be all gone."

Old Wei snatched the water pouch, uncorked it, smelled the alcohol, turned and left, saying at the same time:

"Get up, pack your things, and prepare to continue your journey."

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

He glanced in Li Ping's direction.

Chen Zhihua just managed to get up from the ground in a disheveled state and leave, but he was cursing and swearing as he went.

Meanwhile, Chen Ruoming and his three siblings were helping Li Ping pack her things.

"Satisfied?" Xu Wuyan walked to her side.

Lin Mo shook her head. "What do I have to be satisfied with?"

Along the way, there are always a few people who deserve help, aren't there?

After saying that, he walked toward the carriage.

This afternoon, she will help make shoes.

But before she could board the carriage, she saw Old Master Han walking unsteadily toward her, and turned to look at Xu Wuyan:

"You're in trouble now, deal with it yourself."

After saying that, he nimbly boarded the carriage.

Then he sat on the carriage shaft, ready to watch the play.

She hasn't gone crazy lately; it's Xu Wuyan who's gone crazy. I wonder if he'll go crazy later.

If he goes crazy, will he beat up his maternal grandfather?

Lin Mo was curious.

Seeing her looking on with amusement, Xu Wuyan shook his head.

Then, his eyes fell on Old Master Han, who was being helped towards him.

The smile on his face faded away.

"What's wrong?"

I said, the Han family is not allowed to appear within three zhang of me.

As soon as Xu Wuyan finished speaking, he moved.

When he stopped, the person was already standing in front of them.

As Old Master Han's eyes widened, Xu Wuyan swung his hand out.

"Ahhh!"

……
