Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

"My name is Su Lingtong."

After Su Lingtong stepped into the Chenxiang Pavilion, she was well-behaved. She spoke in a straight and round manner without a local accent, and she didn't look like a country girl when she walked, sat, or lay down. Only her skin was a little rough, and her eyes were almost glued to Mo Che's body. .

Both Liu Pipa and Qian Mingshu looked at Mo Che strangely—where did this woman come from?

Tang Song also frowned deeply.

On the contrary, Xia Bai'an took Mo Che upstairs alone to have a private talk.

Mo Che explained that Su Lingtong was once Cen Hanshan's childhood sweetheart, and he was even more admired.

"Cen Hanshan once helped me a lot in the capital, and he is the only person I can trust in Baichuan Academy. I have always wanted to fulfill his entrustment before he died, but Cen Yishan just died a few days ago. It took me a few turns to find her, she is being hunted down by King An's men."

Mo Che kept silent about his cooperation with Cen Yishan.

I'm afraid that Xia Bai'an will feel uncomfortable knowing that those things are also part of the plan.

Xia Bai'an felt reasonable after listening to it.

Although Mo Che seemed alienated, he was indeed loyal to Qian Mingshu and his friends, and Mo Che would not easily give up on Cen Hanshan, who had been with him for two or three years as a colleague.

And, it's just a woman.

If they were put outside, they would inevitably be chased and killed by Li Chen again.

Xia Bai'an only asked.

"How do you ensure that Wang An hasn't seen her?"

"Some of my cronies brought her back, and she is also Cen Yishan's childhood sweetheart. When King An threatened Cen Yishan to do something, he named her Iris. King An didn't know the name Su Lingtong." Mo Che replied.

Xia Baian frowned.

"How can you be so convincing?"

"Because the people in the country have always called her Erya." Mo Che said with a strange expression on his face.

"..."

Xia Bai'an was dumbfounded for a moment.

I forgot that in many ancient villages, the name of the baby was directly called.

Thinking that Wang An had taken back Cen Yishan for his own use when he was a child. At that time, I am afraid that few people called her real name, and even if someone called her at that time, after more than ten years, I am afraid that such a complicated name will be forgotten.

"Then you mean, tell me to keep her here?"

"If you can't keep her, just find an excuse to send her to other places. Except for Qingshan Town, we used to live there. No matter what we do in the future, someone will go and investigate."

"Makes sense."

But she couldn't think of another place to send Su Lingtong away.

After all, she was not from this world, and she was married to Mo Che after coming here, and the relatives at home even cut off contact directly, so it was impossible to entrust her to other places.

As for Mo Che...

If he could have other places to recommend, he wouldn't have to bring people to the capital in such a big way.

Xia Bai'an rubbed his forehead.

"There is still a shortage of manpower in Tongjitang, and there are not many dignitaries in the capital there. If she can endure hardship and study hard, she can be placed there. However, she is now bearing the name of your cousin, so it is not easy to let her live in Tongjitang Backyard, let’s send it to the mansion to live in.”

"You are the head of the house, you arrange it."

Mo Che had no objection to these matters, but continued, "You have to take care of the affairs of the spices side in the afternoon, and I will accompany you there."

"What? Playing an official role?" Xia Bai'an raised his eyelids with a slight smile.

"Maybe with me here, I can save you a lot of money."

"go!"

Xia Bai'an naturally took his hand, and briefly explained the situation of today's business discussion. The two went down the stairs side by side. Facing the expressions of everyone teasing or wanting to eat melons, Xia Bai'an responded like this.

"Take care of younger sister Lingtong. Mo Che and I will go out to discuss business, and we will take her back home when we get back."

"..."

Everyone looked at each other in silence—you just lured wolves into the house like this!

Such a beautiful young girl, about the same age as Mo Che, and even Mo Che's cousin, doesn't Xia Bai'an have any worries at all!

Wait until the two leave.

It was Li Xiuhong who moved first and took Su Lingtong to rest in the small room in the backyard.

"Sit inside and rest for a while. After dinner, I will be able to take you back home to live in."

"Okay, thank you."

Su Lingtong nodded obediently, and followed Li Xiuhong back.

In the front hall, Tang Song was the first to be dissatisfied: "There are still two concubines in the mansion, and now a cousin of some distant relative suddenly appears, and he is so eager to spread the word?"

"Let me tell you, Master has two sons and a daughter, and now he still has the little girl from the Lin family with him. What kind of concubine is he in a hurry to get now? A cousin! Is Master the kind of person who will easily bring women back?" , I don’t think this is a cousin at all!”

Qian Mingshu also patted the table.

The two men looked at each other, and they both felt that they understood men's thoughts best - this must be love!

On the contrary, Liu Pipa had no choice but to step forward, knocked on the foreheads of the two of them, and said helplessly.

"It's the first time I've seen the girl's family. It's a bit inappropriate to insult people's innocence like this."

The two of them covered their heads and lowered their heads, admitting their mistakes.

Liu Pipa went to the side again and picked up the bundle, ready for Su Lingtong to send it there, when the bundle was in her arms, she actually let out a little surprise.

"what happened?"

Qian Mingshu was the first to notice something was wrong, and stepped forward to ask.

Liu Pipa weighed the bundle in his hand, and after a while, gently pinched a corner: "There seems to be a lot of money hidden here, Mo Che's cousin is also rich."

"Let me pinch?"

Qian Mingshu also reached out to touch, standing behind Liu Pipa, he stretched out a hand around Liu Pipa's arm, as if gently hugging her.

However, Qian Mingshu only cared about the things in his luggage.

Only Liu Pipa's body was slightly stiff, and the tips of her ears were slightly red, so she didn't say much.

Tang Song saw it and felt his teeth were sore.

"You? Are you touching my purse?" Su Lingtong's voice suddenly came from the back door.

Qian Mingshu jumped up in shock, covered his heart after cursing a few curse words, "How the hell did you... um!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Liu Pipa quickly covered his mouth with his hands, and handed the bag to Su Lingtong, "Sorry, I just bumped into it when I was trying to pick it up for you. But you, a girl, rushed away Why did you carry so much money on the road for more than ten days without changing it into bank notes?"

She asked seriously.

Although Su Lingtong was a little afraid of Qian Mingshu, he felt that Liu Pipa was approachable, so he hugged his burden tightly.

"It's all gold here, and the villagers say that gold is the best thing to use... In the past, there were always locust plagues in our village. We can't exchange silver tickets for anything, and we can only rely on gold."

This reason is indeed like the thoughts of the villagers.

Liu Pipa reassured her a little, and asked someone to take her in, and said to Qian Mingshu: "I feel that this girl is indeed from the village, and maybe she really came to seek refuge with Mo Che. You should not treat her So hostile."
