Another big show is about to begin in Chapter 99.
Just as Xia Mo raised her hand to slap Ma Yiyi's face, Huangfu Qian arrived.
At the time, he thought Xia Mo was just angry at Ma Yiyi for offending her, but now... he wasn't sure anymore.
If Xia Mo truly had no feelings for Wei Zhishu, why would she... steal glances at Wei Zhishu after scolding someone?
Huangfu Qianxiang: Xia Mo's stolen glance was to see Wei Zhishu's expression change, whether he would dislike her because she cursed.
On the surface, Xia Mo did not know Huangfu Qian. After their eyes met, she looked away.
Huangfu Qian turned and left.
Wei Zhishu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Huangfu Qian turn and leave.
The biggest variable in his plan to kidnap Xia Mo was Huangfu Qian. Now that Huangfu Qian is gone, his plan can continue to be implemented.
Ma Yiyi used her reward points to redeem a potion that could quickly heal her wounds. After drinking it, her facial injuries were completely healed, and she angrily overturned the dressing table.
"Late summer! Late summer! Late summer..."
Ma Yiyi muttered through gritted teeth.
The live stream interface is now back to normal, and the comments are starting to talk about how Xia Mo peeked at Wei Zhishu after she finished cursing someone.
When Ma Yiyi saw this news, she was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode.
Ma Yiyi gritted her teeth as she got up and continued to participate in the engagement banquet.
At the engagement banquet—
Xia Mo was willing to separate from Xia Sange and decided to stay in the front yard to attend the engagement banquet with the men.
"You're a girl, it's not appropriate for you to sit at the same table as a man, is it?" Wei Zhishu said with a smile.
"What's wrong with sitting at the same table as a man?" Xia Mo said dismissively.
She didn't leave because if she didn't attend the entire engagement banquet, wouldn't the recipe for making tofu never come out?
Then she'll just go through the motions... and participate until the end.
Wei Zhishu frowned, but then he said, "Why don't we just leave the front and back yards separate and let men and women all stay in one yard?"
Xia Mo raised an eyebrow and glanced at Wei Zhishu.
If Ma Yiyi knew Wei Zhishu's decision, wouldn't she be furious?
The onlookers: "..."
Wei Zhishu is a young master from the Wei family in the capital. He is powerful and influential, so whatever he says goes.
Immediately, a guest flattered, "This is great, original and unique."
"Yes, yes, that's great! Some worldly conventions are shackles; let's be unconventional and break free from them!"
"..."
Xia Sange whispered to Xia Mo, "These people are really shameless in their efforts to curry favor with Master Wei. I'm afraid if Young Master Wei said farts smelled good, they would find the smell unique."
"Pfft..."
Xia Mo was amused by Xia Sange's way of describing it, her eyebrows curved and the corners of her mouth turned up.
Seeing his little sister happy, Xia Sange smiled too.
All eyes turned to Xia Mo again, knowing that Xia Mo was the one Wei Zhishu had his eye on, someone they couldn't bring themselves to pursue even if they were tempted.
Xia Mo gave Xia Sange a thumbs up.
The engagement banquet begins—
Attending a wedding banquet requires giving money as a gift, while an engagement banquet is simply a free meal for everyone.
Xia Mo's seat was arranged at the main table, while Xia San's seat was arranged in a corner.
Xia Sange naturally stayed by Xia Mo's side and didn't go anywhere else.
Xia Mo decisively chose a corner seat with Xia Sange and sat down at the corner table.
Wei Zhishu looked at the maid beside him.
A maidservant walked past Xia Mo carrying a cup of water on a tray.
The cup was full of water, intended to be splashed on Xia Mo, to make her leave the crowded engagement banquet and make it easier for Wei Zhishu to make his move.
Wei Zhishu's eyes were filled with excitement, but his hands were pressed against his chest, occasionally gripping the clothes on his chest tightly.
As long as Xia Mo can be isolated, or Xia Mo and Xia Shengqiu can be separated from the crowd, his plan can proceed to the next step.
When the maid was next to Xia Mo, she pretended to fall and splashed water on Xia Mo's clothes.
"what--"
The maid exclaimed in surprise and immediately knelt down in front of Xia Mo to apologize.
"This servant was careless, this servant was wrong... Please forgive me, young lady," the maid kowtowed repeatedly.
Xia Mo's divine sense quickly scanned the maid, taking in all her details.
She raised an eyebrow.
Is this the husband chosen by this world, the husband from her previous life?
This maid is no longer a virgin, and the only person capable of taking the body of the maid beside Wei Zhishu is Wei Zhishu himself.
"Little sister..."
Seeing that Xia Mo's clothes were stained and darkened by the water, and that it was winter, Xia Sange hurriedly took off his own clothes and put them on Xia Mo.
Xia Mo smiled reassuringly at Xia Sange and whispered, "It's alright."
"Let me take you to the back to change your clothes," the maid said.
Those present all knew something about the underworld in the inner palace.
Upon hearing that Xia Mo was to be taken to the back to change clothes, they knew that another big show was about to unfold, but... Wei Zhishu probably wouldn't let them watch this show.
"Third Brother, I'll go with you to change my clothes," Xia Mo said.
The guests looked at Xia Mo, who had an innocent and naive expression, and sighed inwardly.
Growing up in the countryside, I lack experience and don't understand... This is actually a kind of calculation, sigh...
The wary Xia Sange nervously looked around and said uneasily, "Little sister, how about... you make do with what you have, and we go to the street to buy a set of ready-made clothes for you to change into?"
"It's alright, this is the Wei family home, what could possibly happen here?" Xia Mo said, her bright eyes wide open.
In fact, she had already seen what Wei Zhishu and his trusted subordinates were plotting against her, and what she was about to do now...
"Little sister..."
"Third Brother, you wait for me here. If I don't come out in a quarter of an hour, come looking for me, okay?" Xia Mo said, her clear and bright eyes shining.
Xia Sange hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
The maidservant lowered her head, her eyes showing a triumphant satisfaction at her successful scheme, but also a twisted jealousy.
The maid thought to herself: This late summer, she's nothing but a pretty vase with no substance!
Wei Zhishu was surprised that the plan to leave Xia Mo alone was so easy to execute, and a fleeting smile crossed his eyes.
Xia Mo followed the maid to the backyard of the Wei family, her steps light and her back view innocent.
The guests at the banquet all sighed in sympathy for Xia Mo.
As soon as Xia Mo stepped into the backyard, twenty people surrounded him, including two particularly strong old women.
Xia Mo tilted her head, puzzled, and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"It's all your fault for being too good-looking," said the old woman, waving her hand as she and the others surrounded her.
Their first step was to provoke the person secretly protecting Xia Mo.
In reality...
Summer is coming to a close.
With a flick of his toes, he leaped ten feet into the air, landing on top of Old Woman A's head and stomping on her several times.
Before the old lady and the others could react, they heard a "click" sound!
Summer's End, with a sweet smile, lifted her foot, flipped over, and before landing, casually kicked out, shattering Old Lady A's right shoulder bone! Not a dislocation, but a real breakage!
Then, the air suddenly became quiet!
