ng Hua frowned. “Miss, the people I sent out to gather information from all corners of the city wrote back this morning saying that many strange men appeared in the city. They are carrying a portrait...Liu shi didn't even hesitate to refuse, saying, "How could I possibly live with Ah Tang Ah Tang is already married and has her own home. A mother cannot live with her daughter-in-law again."

An Xuetang silently wanted to roll her eyes, "Mother, don't worry about the rest. Jing also agrees to this matter of us living together, right, Jing"

And she and Liu's eyes fell on Mo Yunjing, who nodded cooperatively. "Well, Sugar will make the decisions about this family."

Liu was surprised, and then happy for Ah Tang. It seemed that this son-in-law, despite having a leg ailment, was very good to her.

However, a super traditional feudal woman like Liu shi still couldn't accept living with her daughter and son-in-law. She had her husband's family to consider after all.

In this world, if she lived with her daughter, people would misunderstand that she was cast out by her husband's family, and then she would lose her reputation.

"Ah Tang, Mother knows your good intentions, but Mother..."

"That's enough," An Xuetang impatiently waved her hand to stop her, glaring at Liu with frustration. "Since mother doesn't want to live with Ah Tang, then please leave."

An Xuetang wanted to help Liu, after all, she was the original owner's mother. But looking at Liu like this, she was simply a hopeless child, and even if An Xuetang tried her best, she wouldn't be able to help her.

Liu cautiously looked at An Xuetang, "Ah Tang, in the future... please don't treat your grandparents like that."

" "

An Xuetang was tired and didn't say anything.

Liu saw that she remained silent and continued in a didactic tone, "Ah Tang, they are elders after all. Treating them this way will make people talk, and it won't be good for your reputation."

"An Xuetang laughed in exasperation, "Mother thinks I have anything left to lose"

Liu was taken aback.

"Mother, you don't need to worry about my affairs with the An family. I know what I should do. When it comes to reputation, they want it more than me, so I'm not afraid of anything. They wouldn't dare make a big fuss for my father and cousin An Rongping, whom I have never met."

An Rongping was a scholar who valued fame more than anything else. If his classmates found out that he had used money from selling his cousin to afford his education, they would spit on him and disgrace him.

And there's her missing, presumed dead father. The An family has always believed he became an official in the capital, so for his sake, they dare not make a big fuss about this.

Both selling daughters and begging at people's doors are wrong.

Liu had never seen such a forceful Ah Tang before. She didn't dare to continue persuading her and could only leave in silence at last.

Looking at her solitary figure, An Xue Tang's heart sank.

She subconsciously covered her heart, perhaps this was the original owner's subconscious reaction.

"If Tangtang wants to teach the An family a lesson, I can help you," Mo Yunjing suddenly spoke.

An Xuetang turned to look at him, a smirk playing on her lips. "Ah Jing has already taught them a lesson, hasn't he"

But even like that, Tangtang was still upset.

An Xuetang shrugged, "It doesn't matter. After all, I have a poor relationship with my family. They are like strangers to me, and I don't care."

She thought to herself that she and the An family were indeed strangers. If it weren't for the original owner caring for her mother, she wouldn't have bothered with the An family at all.

Mo Yun Jing's dark and deep eyes looked at An Xue Tang, "From now on, Sugar will have me."

"...."

Why does my heart feel warm for no reason

But she reacted quickly. She walked up to Mo Yunjing, crouched down beside him, hooked his chin with one hand, and a familiar yet slightly vicious smirk played on her lips, "Ah Jing, are you pitying me"

Mo Yunjing's Adam's apple bobbed, he subtly retreated backward, "Tangtang said it was."

An Xuetang originally wanted to *sketch* a picture of Mo Yunjing, but seeing the alluring power in his deep eyes, her hand quickly retreated as if it had been burned.

Seeing her like this, Mo Yunjing smirked. "Tangtang, should you explain what these snakes are all about"

"Speaking of this, An Xuetang smiled. 'Since I understand pharmacology, I naturally know how to mix and control the snake powder. These green snakes are actually harmless. I used the powder to lure them here to protect our house chickens and rabbits. What do you think, Ah Jing' "

"Very good," Mo Yunjing said, gazing at An Xue Tang's confident appearance. His eyes deepened.

This woman is intelligent and resourceful, she's definitely not your average country girl.

An Xuetang blinked, then took out a pouch of medicine powder from her waist and handed it to Mo Yunjing. "Ah Jing, take this. This is a type of medicine powder that, when smelled, will make someone fall into a short-term coma. If bad people come to the house, Ah Jing can use this to protect herself."

After finishing, An Xuetang took out a small bottle again. “This is the antidote. Ah Jing, take one before using it, so you won't be affected by the powder.”

When An Xuetang handed the bottle to Mo Yunjing, he grasped An Xuetang's slender hand.

An Xuetang looked up, and instantly met his deep eyes.

She instantly blushed, hastily retracting her hand. "I... I need to go into the city. Could Jing be left alone at home"

Mo Yun looked as if nothing had happened, putting away the medicine bottle. "What are you doing in town, Tangtang"

"I need to go see what business opportunities there are in town, we still need silver to live our lives, don't we"

The most important thing is to treat him, so she needs a set of silver needles first. She has to go to the medicine hall to see the price of silver needles and see if she can earn some money through medical skills.

She was a killer in her past life, skilled in both medicine and poisons.

These days, it's probably impossible for her to kill anyone, but she should still be pretty good at medicine, right

An Xuetang thought this way, so no matter what, she had to go to the city to have a look.

But I'm not comfortable with Tangtang going alone.

So, she's being cared forr felt her body tensing up, to make matters worse, the beating of her heart was so fast and loud in her chest.She was afraid, afraid that if he didn't let go, he would discover the emotions she had w...
