Cowardly Stepmother Dressed As the Hero

“Mother, don’t worry.” Qi Rui touched Cao Mi’s face.

Cao Mi looked up at the two with a stern face, and said with a “hum”: “I know, you might be happy here?”

She supported her with her hands: “In the first month, your father did not agree to your request to go to Fengping. You sneaked out of the house, but he was willing to take you over instead.”

Qi Rui and Qi An next to each other looked at each other, and did not speak.

Cao Mi complained again: “Let’s have some snacks! Can’t you guess what the lord thinks!”

She gritted her teeth indignantly: “He thinks that I don’t teach you enough lessons, and he wants to do it himself!”

Qi Rui blinked: “Well… An’er and I really did something wrong. It’s right that my father wants to punish.”

Cao Mi pouted: “I know.”

Saying that, she stuffed another jade pendant into the box: “Didn’t I bring someone here to help you pack your things?”

Qi An reminded: “Mother, go to Fengping…Why do you have to bring so many accessories?”

Cao Mi paused, and then pretended to be on his own: “What’s wrong with bringing it! Bring more, so that you won’t be able to find it when you need it!”

Qi Rui thought for a while: “If according to my mother’s intention, my father is really punishing us, then… we are obviously here to learn a lesson, but with so many things to enjoy, my father will probably be even more unhappy.”

“He… does the lord dare?” Cao Mi stood up in anger.

Qi Rui reassured him directly: “Mother don’t have to worry… I mean, I don’t need to bring so many things, I will take good care of Andi.”

He paused, then changed the subject and said, “And, this time, won’t Rie Yan also follow? Rie Yan is so human, he won’t see us being bullied.”

Speaking of the flames, Cao Mi was a little more depressed.

Yes, this time, in addition to her two sons on the top of her heart, the people who are going to leave this time, there is also the sweaty horse like Raging Flame.

Earlier, Qi You left it in the villa, not knowing its injury. Now that there are three fillies conceived by it, Qi You simply mentioned in the letter that he should take it directly to Fengping for training.

Cao Mi touched the top of Qi Rui’s hair, and said, “The flames are in your father’s hands, so I have to run in with him. How can I keep looking after you all the time?”

She paced helplessly for a while, and suddenly thought of a way: “I have to write a letter to the prince!”

After finishing speaking, she raised her head and called to Dongli: “Dongli, you can clean up here, I’ll go to the study.”

After giving this order, she left in a hurry. Qi Rui and Qi An looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

After tossing up and down the Bei’an Prince’s Mansion for nearly two days, Cao Mi was able to pack up the luggage to his satisfaction.

The eldest grandson Ling, who was still stranded in Kangcheng, was also preparing to return to Fengping this time, so he directly escorted the two young sons of the palace.

As early as a few days ago, the silver taels saved by Cao Mi and his three children had been distributed to various personal soldiers. These soldiers saw that they had only done what they were supposed to do, but they had received unexpected rewards. Facing the two young masters of the palace, they were very kind.

The eldest grandson Ling also patiently listened to Cao Mi’s instructions to take care of the two children.

If she hadn’t known that King Bei’an would definitely disagree, she would have wanted to send the two maids over to take care of them together.

Before getting into the car, Qi Rui suddenly remembered something and said to Cao Mi, “Mother, before I… er, when I left the house, I met a gentleman in your bookstore.”

“Huh?” Cao Mi’s expression stiffened.

It was clearly supposed to be a tearful parting scene of mother and son, but Qi Rui suddenly brought up the incident, which made her hold back the tears she had brewed.

“A gentleman… what’s wrong?” she asked after adjusting her expression.

Qi Rui nodded: “That gentleman learned to be rich in five cars, and he is very talented.

“At that time, I was in the same place with him for teaching and inquiries, and Qi Liu came in, probably thinking that he was someone with ulterior motives, so he was directly detained.

“After my explanation, the gentleman was released. Hey, I stayed at home and thought about it for the past few days, and I almost forgot about him.”

Cao Mi nodded.

“Well, I see.” She confirmed, “Do you want me to send someone over to apologize to him?”

Qi Rui nodded: “At that time, Mr. must be at a loss. I will go to Fengping this time, and I will not be able to come back in two months. I hope you will send someone to find him, tell him my news, and also to help me. He apologized.”

“Well, that’s what it should be.” Cao Mi asked, “That gentleman, what’s your name?”

Qi Rui said, “Yu Liang.”

“Yu Liang?” Cao Mi was a little surprised.

Qi Rui observed the expression on her face: “Mother knows him?”

Cao Mi didn’t hide it either, nodded and admitted: “I opened that bookstore, and I actually wanted to find some talented people to see if I could help them, or directly recruit them.”

Talent investment will never go out of style, which is why Cao Mi directly opened the free reading room.

“This Mr. Yu Liang was written down by the shopkeeper because he solved a lot of math problems that I put in the study. I have seen this name on the documents submitted in the study.”

Qi Rui was a little surprised, but everything seemed to be expected.

He said: “Mr. Yu has real talent and loves to count. It is reasonable that he can catch the eyes of his mother.”

When Cao Mi heard this, he smiled: “It’s rare to hear you take the initiative to mention an outsider to me. You praise him so highly, it seems that there is a chance, I can indeed meet him.”

Qi Rui nodded and said, “Mr. Yu’s family background is ordinary and he has nothing to do. If his mother recruits him, it is the right time.”

Cao Mi said, “I know.”

After the two talked for a while, Chang Sun Ling had already packed up and walked up.

He saluted: “Princess, everything in the convoy is ready and ready to go. Please give your order.”

Cao Mi looked at the sky and reluctantly took two steps back: “Let’s go straight, leave early, and you can stay in the next city early.”

The eldest grandson Ling clasped his fists, turned around and carried Qi Rui and Qi An into the carriage in person.

Then, he returned to the front and rear of the team, and as soon as he caught his belly, the entire team slowly moved.

Cao Mi stood there, watching the whole train vanish into the street corner, then withdrew his gaze and returned to the mansion with the help of Dong Li.

On the same day that the two children left, Qi Er took Gouya, Wugou and a child under five from the beggar pile.

Ergou and others were sent to Rongguang Villa by Cao Mi.

Even though these beggars lived in the palace for nearly a month, they still could not adapt to the change of status. When they got into the carriage, they thought they were going to be sent back to be beggars.

Before Gouya left, he told them that he must obey the instructions of the palace, and when he and Wugou became prosperous, he would come and lead them to live a good life.

He was very firm about leaving with Qi Er. Ergou and several children cried and begged him, but he did not give up.

The remaining group of children are not assertive, and they are now led by Ergou.

The carriage bumped for a long time and finally arrived at Rongguang.

Nanxi received the news early and knew the origin of this group of people. Knowing that they had helped Jingui’s second son in the house, they went to the gate of the villa to greet him in person.

Ergou and the others got off the carriage anxiously, and when they saw Nanxi with a kind-hearted face, their nerves finally stopped being so tense.

Nanxi led them through the villa, introducing them to various courtyards as they walked.

When the refugees who come and go see Nanxi, they will stop and say hello to her, and the eyes of Ergou and the group of children are also very gentle.

In the eyes of Ergou and these children, every refugee in the villa was their first choice for begging before.

These people have ruddy complexion and fleshy cheeks, and at first glance they seem to be living quite prosperous and happy lives.

Such people, even if they are not as wealthy as those rich businessmen with big belly, will be more willing to give them food or silver taels out of sympathy.

Along the way, they saw such people, Ergou and others were very surprised.

Finally, they turned into an unoccupied corner. Ergou dared to ask Nanxi for the children’s future life: “I, we will live here in the future, will we work with them?”

Nanxi smiled and glanced at his thin body: “You are still so young, how can you work?”

“Okay!” Ergou retorted: “Before, Gouya… er, even our boss, often took me to run errands for others and earn some coins.”

As he said that, he looked back at a group of little radishes behind him with some distress: “But they are too young, and they have to be raised again.”

Nanxi took his arm, took him into his arms, and said, “You guys, don’t worry about these things. We’re here…”

She brought everyone to a stop in front of a courtyard: “You will live here in the future… Well, it shouldn’t be as good as the courtyard where you are placed in the palace, but there are many children as old as you.

“In the future, you will live here and go to the school with them to learn to read and write. Do you understand?”

“Learning to read?” Ergou blinked.

He turned around and exchanged glances with his friends, and confirmed, “So… Second Young Master, is everything true?”

Before Qi Anlin left Cannes, he went to their courtyard and told them to study hard and stop being beggars when they came to a new place.

At that time, Ergou didn’t take it to heart at all.

He often couldn’t understand Qi An’s words. At this time, he nodded directly and pretended to have heard it.

At this time, when Nanxi mentioned it again, the matter of “literacy learning” suddenly became clear.

Nanxi smiled: “Second Young Master will not lie to you of course. This time, the princess has taken in all the underage beggars in Cannes City, and with you, there are more than 60 people, and they happened to be directly with you. A new junior class.”

She said and took them to an empty room in the courtyard.

“Well, ten people can live in one room here. If you have nine people here, just live in one room.”

The room she opened was facing south. It was in the afternoon, and the afterglow of the setting sun came in from the window, making the room bright.

Nine sets of ready-made quilts were placed on the neatly built kang, apparently specially prepared for them.

Ergou walked in with the others in a daze.

After being stunned for a while, he turned around and asked, “Learning…what does literacy do? We don’t have money. Will the princess keep us all the time?”

He inadvertently stated the issues that all the children in the villa have always been most concerned about.

Nanxi patted his head and said, “When you guys finish your studies, you can go to the concubine’s shop and get a job.

“We have some children who have graduated this year. Because of the shortage of manpower, they learned basic words and arithmetic, and they were asked to leave by the North Temple. Now I help manage wool production, and occasionally come to see the masters. Make up lessons.”

Ergou listened to her in a daze, and nodded stunned.

The little beggars surrounded him, chatteringly asking Nanxi other questions.

At this moment, Ergou suddenly believed what Gouya had said before, that Gouya would stand out, and they could really live a good life.
