Chapter 52 Side Quest

Outside the Wei family residence in Anping County—

The constable strolled leisurely out of the side gate of the Wei family's house. He carefully twirled the two taels of silver in his hand, muttering to himself, "Where will I go for drinks and entertainment with this two taels of silver later..."

As the constables walked away, Xia Mo and her second brother came out of an alley not far away, looking in the direction the constables had left, but the constables were long gone.

"Little sister!"

Brother Xia clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and desperately suppressed his anger, trying to appear gentle, his face contorted in rage.

Brother Xia said, "Could it be that the Wei family actually didn't want to pay the thirty taels for the smoked meat, and deliberately staged that whole thing?!"

Xia Erge said, "If we just say we don't want the thirty taels for the smoked meat, will they... release Dad and Big Brother?!"

Brother Xia choked back tears, unwilling to accept it: "Little sister... I'm so angry. These powerful and influential people toy with us ordinary people. They can do whatever they want with just a wave of their hand or a word..."

Xia Erge gritted his teeth, drawing blood from his gums, and whispered, "Little sister..."

"Second Brother, don't think nonsense," Xia Mo tugged at Xia Erge's sleeve, looked up, and gazed at Xia Erge with clear, bright eyes.

When Xia Erge met Xia Mo's gaze, he inexplicably felt a sense of peace.

“It’s been almost twenty days since that scoundrel died. If it really was their doing, they would have done it more than twenty days ago. At that time, they hadn’t even started learning our smoked meat technique yet, and they didn’t even know about our smoked meat technique,” ​​Xia Mo said softly to comfort him.

Xia Erge's emotions gradually calmed down, but his eyes revealed confusion. If it wasn't the Wei family behind it, then who was it?

Xia Mo's divine sense enveloped the entire Wei family in Anping County, clearly gathering all the news from the house into his mind.

Wei Zhishu, the third son of the Wei family, was having a conversation with Hu Zhi.

Hu Zhi had just spoken with the constable; Hu Zhi was simply relaying the message to the constable.

Wei Zhishu deliberately muttered to himself in front of Hu Zhi, "How can I get Xia Mo to come to me for help?" He wanted Hu Zhi to solve this problem for him.

Shocked, Hu Zhi quickly lowered her head.

After sensing that he was being watched, Huangfu Qian simply picked up his book and read without saying another word.

At Huangfu Qianna's place, no information could be obtained at all.

The courtyard where Ma Yiyi lives —

Yesterday, Ma Yiyi was impeccably dressed but didn't get to see Young Master Wei. Today, she dressed up again, waiting to see him.

Ma Yiyi chose to stand under a tree in the garden, then looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, revealing her beautifully shaped swan neck and her profile, which looked particularly beautiful after makeup.

Ma Yiyi appears to be looking up at a tree, but in reality, she is looking at the light screen in front of her.

On the screen in front of Ma Yiyi, in the upper left corner is a small live streaming window, while the main screen displays the task interface.

Since Ma Yiyi failed her mission last time and lost two points of luck, a new mission has appeared on the mission interface.

Side quest: Exile Xia Kaoshan and Xia Shenggen three thousand miles away.

The mission is one-third complete. Xia Kaoshan and Xia Shenggen have been thrown into the government jail.

At the very end of the task description, there is a rectangular, rounded-corner notification box that reads "Task in progress".

The bottom corner indicates the rewards you will receive upon completion of the task.

Task completed, reward: "Minor Mastery of Calligraphy".

This is the second time the live streaming system, also known as the plundering system, has come up with a new task after it embarrassed Xia Mo last time. In short, it wants to find a way to give Ma Yiyi the "minor achievement in calligraphy".

Ma Yiyi, who was being manipulated in a roundabout way, didn't think there was anything wrong with all three tasks having the same reward, and was even secretly relieved.

Xia Mo withdrew his divine sense.

Weijiawai, Anping County —

Seeing Xia Mo lost in thought, Xia Erge called out softly, "Little sister?"

Xia Moyou's gaze cleared again as she looked at her second brother and said, "Second brother, this matter in our family was done by Ma Yiyi."

Xia Erge was surprised, puzzled, confused, and then shocked.

"Little sister, what did the master in your dream teach you?" Xia Erge thought that Xia Mo's ability to stand there in a daze meant she must have learned some extraordinary skills.

Xia Mo didn't want to tell Xia Erge that she possessed a powerful divine sense, but she could say, "Just now, Master used a secret technique to transmit a message into my mind and tell me this."

"Then what should we do? If we look for Ma Yiyi and Aunt Ma, will that solve the problem?" Xia Erge pressed.

Xia Erge didn't even doubt whether Xia Mo's words were problematic.

“No, Ma Yiyi’s goal is to have Father and my elder brother exiled three thousand miles away,” Xia Mo shook her head.

Brother Xia gritted his teeth and asked, "Could you... ask your master, the expert, what should we do next?"

“Find the worker who was with you that day waiting for temporary workers to be hired,” Xia Mo said.

"Actually... I can't remember who was with me that day... waiting for temporary workers," Xia Erge said, his throat dry.

“Isn’t that a place with many rice shops and other stores’ waiters? They must remember,” Xia Mo reminded him.

"Yes, yes, let's hurry up and find them," Xia Erge grabbed Xia Mo's sleeve and moved impatiently.

In Anping County, in an alley specifically for recruiting workers—

There are many more people waiting here to be hired as temporary workers.

For them, news about the Xia family, Xia's father, and Xia's elder brother was just news; they would discuss it briefly and then move on. What truly mattered to them was how much money they could earn today to supplement their household income.

When Xia Mo and Xia Erge arrived, the dozens of people present only glanced at Erge. Several people recognized Xia Erge and their eyes flickered.

Previously, their impression of Brother Xia was that he was someone like them, waiting to be hired as a temporary worker.

So now, their impression of Xia Erge is: he might be the son of a murderer.

Xia Mo covered her face with a face mask, and although she attracted curious glances, no one paid any attention.

Brother Xia entered the crowd and asked if they had seen him and Brother Xia more than twenty days ago, on the day the scoundrel died.

"Twenty-seven days ago, did you see me, my older brother, and you together here waiting to be hired as temporary workers?"

"Let's go, let's go... Who remembers what happened just over twenty days ago..."

"Think about it... back then... you all had work, but my older brother and I just sat there all day..."

"Get out of my way, get out of my way..."

Xia Erge asked anxiously, but was only met with being driven away. No one was willing to say another word to Xia Erge, who might be the son of a murderer.

Brother Xia's eyes reddened with anxiety.

Xia Mo actually wanted to find something for Xia Erge to do, and what she needed to do now was...

At the end of summer, I sat on a protruding stone slab next to the wall in the alley, my feet off the ground.

She half-closed her eyes and sent out a wisp of her divine sense to probe the Wei family in Anping County.

Ma Yiyi wanted to leave a good impression on Young Master Wei, but she wouldn't let her have her way!
