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

The carriage started moving.

Han Yulong reached out and rubbed her aching stomach, her face full of resentment:

"Mother, I want that bitch dead."

Damn it, what right does she have to be so arrogant?

Madam Han glanced at her, her face full of anger at her lack of ambition:

Haven't you been taught a lesson enough?

Why did you go and show off in front of her? How could you be so stupid?

Furthermore, if you get injured, such a good opportunity will likely have to be given to someone else. It's a case of losing more than you gain, don't you understand?

Han Yulong's face was gloomy:

"I just don't like her, why should I?"

"Alright!" Madam Han snorted coldly.

"You think I don't hate this woman?"

The mother also wanted to kill this woman, but a small act of impatience could ruin a great plan.

The most important thing for us right now is not her, understand?

"As long as today's matter is handled well, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with her later."

Madam Han's face was filled with murderous intent.

She kept all these grudges to herself.

She simply doesn't have the ability to take revenge right now, so she can only endure it for the time being.

Han Yulong was reluctant, but she could only nod.

Madam Han sighed and reached out to pat the back of her hand:

"Alright, don't be angry anymore. I'll have your aunt arrange for someone to teach her a lesson later, okay? Now, calm yourself down and don't let your aunt's good intentions go to waste."

Han Yulong immediately beamed and nodded vigorously:

“Okay. Mother, just have Auntie’s men tie up her mother or her brother, then you won’t have to worry about her daring to fight back.”

"Alright, stop thinking about these things." Madam Han shook her head.

"Let me compose myself and think carefully about how to win the other person's heart."

As long as they establish a relationship with Marquis Luyang, it will only bring them benefits and no harm.

"Mother, I know."

Han Yulong nodded and began to tidy herself up.

Just then, the carriage stopped.

Before Madam Han could speak, the coachman had already spoken:

"Madam, Miss, a disheveled scholar has flagged down the carriage. He wants a ride to the city."

Han Yulong lifted the carriage curtain and glanced outside.

His eyes immediately showed disgust:

"You stop for anyone who tries to stop you? What kind of manners did my aunt teach you?"

This is clearly a beggar. What right does he have to ride in a carriage?

"Get him out of here, don't waste my time."

After saying that, he lowered the carriage curtain with a look of disdain.

The coachman dared not delay, gave the other party an apologetic smile, and then immediately drove the carriage away.

Madam Han looked at Han Yulong disapprovingly:

"A young lady of noble birth should not show her face in public."

Also, you shouldn't have said so much about this; just let the driver go.

Her sharp and sarcastic remarks just now would likely be criticized as ill-mannered.

Han Yulong disagreed.

"He's just a beggar," she said sarcastically. "So what?"

The beggar in Han Yulong's eyes had a blank look in his eyes.

Is he a beggar?

Li Weining looked down at himself in a disheveled manner.

Although it was a little dirty, it shouldn't be mistaken for a beggar.

Would a beggar wear clothes made of such fine material?

Li Weining sighed and said, "Fine, I'll just walk by myself. It's not far anyway."

It's just bad luck.

Unlucky people will even get food stuck in their teeth when they drink cold water.

Li Weining, who was walking forward in self-pity, did not notice the carriage coming from behind.

The carriage passed by him and soon came to a stop.

Lin Mo stopped the carriage and turned to look back.

Upon seeing this, I laughed.

She thought she was seeing things, but it really was him.

As he approached with his head down, Lin Mo raised an eyebrow:

"Hey, Li Weining, what a coincidence."

Has someone recognized me?

Li Weining looked up in surprise, and immediately began grinding his teeth when he saw the other person.

This woman still dares to show her face in front of me.

Does she know how badly they've hurt her?

Seeing his murderous look, Lin Mo wondered:

"To be honest, the way you're gritting your teeth is quite frightening."

"Are you trying to scare me? Then I'm leaving. Take your time walking."

After saying that, he was about to drive away in his carriage.

"Wait a minute, give me a ride." Li Weining nimbly jumped onto the carriage shaft.

Turning his head, he realized there were still many people in the carriage, and he immediately felt a little uncomfortable.

"Sit still." Lin Mo shook her head and drove the carriage toward Luyang City.

Then he looked at him distractedly:

"Honestly, how did you end up in such a mess?"

Your attire is honestly not much better than a beggar's.

Li Weining looked at her with a sullen expression:

"You have the nerve to ask me that? Are you even human?"

Lin Mo looked completely innocent. "How am I not a human being?"

I saved your life, gave you the guest room, and even extended your stay for another day. Is that what you call feeling bad?

As she spoke, she turned her head and glanced at him, "I never expected you to be this kind of person, so ungrateful."

Li Weining felt like vomiting blood.

Gritting his teeth, he sneered:

"You took all the silver from me, and you still accuse me of being ungrateful?"

He felt incredibly lucky to have made it this far despite his injuries.

Lin Mo asked in surprise, "Who took your money?"

Do I look like someone who's desperately short of money? And do I look like someone with such poor taste?

Li Weining, "..."

So all that cursing was for nothing?

I've been cursing them all the way here.

He thought they had taken all his silver, leaving him not a single tael.

He checked out of the hotel as soon as he realized he had no money.

I survived on the few dozen coins I got from checking out of the hotel.

Lin Mo said with sympathy, "You're really pitiful."

I bet you dropped your money while you were running for your life, so don't try to pin this on me.

What else can Li Weining say?

He didn't even know when his money had disappeared.

Oh well, we're back in Luyang City now, there's no point in arguing. Consider it a lesson learned.

He looked at Lin Mo and asked, "What are you doing in Luyang City?"

Exiled, yet still able to travel around?

He remembered the place where they were exiled, where they didn't have to go into Luyang City.

"Replenish supplies, and while you're at it, take my mother and the others into town to find an inn so they can have a good bath."

I won't be able to wash my hair or take a shower for a long time, so naturally I need to take care of myself first.

"What inn?" Li Weining asked disdainfully.

"I have a house, you can just come there to wash."

With so many of you, it's inconvenient to go to the inn.

There are probably many people who share your thoughts, so it's hard to say how long we'll have to wait.

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow, "Will this cause you any trouble?"

Go to the Marquis of Luyang's residence.

A dark glint flashed quickly in Lin Mo's eyes. Would this just ruin her good deed?

"will not!"

……

The carriage quickly entered Luyang City.

Looking at the people coming and going, and the various business calls, Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

Luyang City truly lives up to its reputation as the largest city in the north, boasting a large population and a thriving economy.

"Sister-in-law, I want to eat so many things." Xu Mengxian looked outside with bright eyes, seeing so much food.

Lin Mo ignored her and looked at Li Weining:

"You show the way."

Then, under Li Weining's direction, they drove through many twists and turns before finally stopping in front of a small house.

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow:

"Your private residence?"

I thought you were going to take us to the Marquis of Luyang's residence.

Li Weining twitched the corner of his mouth. "If you go there, I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable. My house is much better."

After saying that, he led them inside and immediately ordered the servants in the house to boil water and prepare food.

Feeling embarrassed to sit and wait, Granny Qin and Granny Yun quickly went to help.

Soon, Li Weining's small house became busy.

When they all came out after washing up, the servants had already prepared the meal.

Li Weining urged them to eat quickly and not to be shy.

Lin Mo looked at him curiously:

"Don't you live in the Marquis's mansion? Why did you buy a house on your own?"

Li Weining took a sip of tea and shook his head:

“I do some business on my own, and sometimes I need to meet with certain people or handle certain matters, which is inconvenient at the Marquis’s residence.”

He was indeed not a spoiled brat.

Lin Mo grinned. That's true. If he had to make a living under his stepmother's thumb and didn't keep his distance, he would either be ruined or devoured.

Few stepmothers in the world hope their stepsons will be outstanding.

If he doesn't hide his talents and doesn't act like a spoiled brat, he probably won't grow up.

Li Weining is a cunning and scheming person.

……

After finishing her meal and packing her things, Lin Mo left Li Weining's residence with her entourage.

Because there were many people on the street, Lin Mo left the carriage there.

Afterwards, we strolled around the streets together.

Lin Mo took out some change and gave it to them, telling them to buy whatever they wanted, but on one condition: be careful and don't get separated.

There are many people here; you could easily get separated if you're not careful.

Soon everyone had plenty of food and toys in their hands.

Even Lin Mo had two more strings of candied hawthorns in her hand.

One string of pearls was bought by her mother, and the other string was bought by Xu Mengxian.

Shaking her head, Lin Mo slowly ate her candied hawthorn and followed behind them.

She inadvertently saw Han Yulong enter the inn ahead, but she just shrugged and continued eating her hawthorn.

In principle, if she doesn't bother him, he won't bother with her.

Moreover, she would never meddle in other people's business.

So, what business is it of my business if Han Yulong goes into the inn with a young and unfamiliar man?

It's more important to eat your own hawthorns.

As for her mother and the others asking if she looked good, she always replied, "Yes, you look good. Buy it. We have plenty of money."

This scene made Liu Ying laugh.

"What's so funny?" Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. They really aren't short of money.

Unfortunately, she couldn't unleash her full power without restraint, otherwise she would have absolutely astonished them.

Just as she was urging them to hurry on, Xu Pingnan, accompanied by someone, rushed up to her:

"Young Madam, something has happened."
