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

It is probably wishful thinking to expect a villain full of careerism to remember to go home.

Xia Bai'an felt a sense of loss for no reason.

It seems that when I saw the word Mo Che before, he was just two words struggling in the book.

But now, when she and Mo Che have lived together in a down-to-earth manner, these two words have become vivid, and even a thin thread has been connected to her heart, as if a part of it is beating, and it will be swallowed. The other party is pulling.

But now this filament has somehow broken.

Heartbeat returns to steady.

However, Xia Bai'an felt that life was peaceful and somewhat boring.

It's boring to fight with people in the palace, and it's boring to fight with Yun Xue and Huang Min.

What's wrong with her?

She rubbed her sore forehead and returned to the mansion, where she saw Ergou and Wuyue hugging the remaining few small fireworks.

"It's broad daylight, are you going to take it out?" Xia Bai'an asked puzzled.

Ergou shook his head: "I plan to store it at night. I originally wanted to keep it until next year, but A Yuan said that it is easy to get damp when stored in the warehouse, and it is easy to leak when stored outside with hay. It is better not to keep it."

Wu Yue nodded: "Besides, Granny Liang said that many people in the poor street have never seen fireworks, so the ladies and young masters said that they want to put some on the side of the poor street, and make them lively."

"okay."

Xia Bai'an smiled and nodded, and walked between the two.

Wuyue and Ergou looked at each other, and said in unison: "Did she get any stimulation after going out?"

But neither of them are people who can use their brains, so they quickly exposed this matter.

In the evening, Xia Bai'an returned to her usual heartless appearance, so naturally no one noticed her strangeness.

Each of the four children was dressed warmer than the other. Mo Qian didn't want to wear a heavy jacket, but Xia Bai'an put on the clothes with his own hands and ordered: "The previous injury has already hurt the bones. The foundation needs to be taken care of. It's okay to wear a few more coats." good-looking."

Mo Qian scratched his head and thought, in fact, it's not a question of whether it looks good or not, it's just a bit bulky.

But seeing Xia Bai'an's serious appearance, he finally did not refuse.

Several people came to the outside of the poor street, Tang Song also specially called people he knew before to watch the fireworks, and even distributed the lucky money he got before to a few friends, and soon a lot of people gathered scattered around , all of them opened their eyes wide and looked over.

Xia Bai'an lit the fireworks, and bright stars burst out from the wooden tube, like a giant tree made of stars, illuminating the darkness of the poor street.

"It's so beautiful!" Lin Miaomiao yelled loudly.

"Ok!"

Mo Yu also happily held his sister with his left hand and his sister with his right hand.

Mo Qian protected his younger siblings behind him, watching to prevent other children from rushing forward.

Qian Mingshu and Liu Pipa were talking nonsense, while Tang Song and Li Xiuhong were still distributing copper coins. The coldness around them seemed to be dispelled at this moment and disappeared without a trace, only warmth wrapped them around.

Xia Bai'an's pupils reflected fire light, and the haze in his heart disappeared for a short time.

The alley not far behind.

Li Chen saw everything in his eyes. He saw the stars reflected in Xia Bai'an's pupils, blazing like fire. He also looked at the people who subconsciously gathered around her. A little bit of bitterness floated in his heart, and he was soon overwhelmed by an inexplicable feeling. Joy to dilute.

Kang Heng looked at everything in front of him indifferently.

"Why show fireworks to people in the slums? They don't even have food and clothing. What can watching fireworks change?"

"You think of the poor, she thinks of herself."

Li Chen opened his mouth lightly, with the corners of his mouth raised high - she was just enjoying this moment.

Li Chen thought so in his heart, and these words instantly turned into a thin rope, firmly shackling his heart.

The momentary sparks dissipated in a blink of an eye.

He never stayed for this kind of thing, but seeing Xia Bai'an seriously enjoying himself, his thoughts were actually shaken... It was as if he came here at night just to have a look at Xia Bai'an.

When Kang Heng turned his head, it was the first time he saw such an interested expression on his prince's face, so he immediately kept silent.

He still can't figure it out.

Why is the prince interested in a woman like Xia Bai'an?

And Xia Bai'an seemed to sense the sight behind him, turned his head, but only saw a deep darkness.

"Mother, is there anything over there?" Mo Qian asked thoughtfully from the side.

"It's nothing."

Xia Bai'an looked away suspiciously, and touched his neck uncomfortably.

Strange, how could she inexplicably feel that someone was watching her there?

It's Chinese New Year, don't run into any dirty things...

Thinking of this, she hurriedly lit the next firecracker with her own hands, and only after listening to the crackling sound, did she feel the sight behind her disappear.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of the eighth day.

The capital gradually returned to its usual bustling scene.

Li Xiuhong and Liu Pipa began to be busy with the opening of Chenxiang Pavilion, while Luo Changfeng and Dr. Xu Jixu also helped Tongjitang. Qian Mingshu and others were also preparing to welcome the Zhang family and others who were about to settle down in the capital, saying yes Zhang Qianqian will also come to help when the time comes.

Xia Bai'an was sitting in the study, looking at his family's mansion piled up to the brim, he was a little embarrassed for a while.

"I can't live anymore. Even if Ms. Zhang goes to live in Chizhuang, the houses and beds are far from enough."

Mo Xue raised his head from the book: "But the capital is a place where every inch of land is precious, so it may be difficult to buy such a big mansion. Why don't people change the woodshed in the backyard?"

"The firewood room and warehouse cannot be changed. The Chizhuang is also repaired. There will only be more and more goods in the future. The Chenxiang Pavilion and the backyard of Tongjitang are also full, but we have to find a way."

Xia Bai'an was even more embarrassed.

She doesn't have a lot of money left in her hand, and it will take at least half a year for Chenxiang Pavilion and Tongjitang to make money back. On the way, several people under Zhang Qianqian who have learned how to grow medicinal materials will have to eat and live, Zhang Qianqian I also need to help them manage a series of things in Chenxiang Pavilion.

Difficult to do.

She was frowning because of this, when the girl next to Li Xiuhong hurried over.

"It's bad! The things in the backyard of our Chenxiang Pavilion were stolen last night, and the finished things were spilled all over the floor, and the raw materials seemed to be burned by someone!"

"I gonna go see."

Xia Bai'an's eyes froze, and he quickly got up and rushed out.

Mo Xue also took steps to keep up.

The mother and daughter came to the warehouse in the backyard of Chenxiang Pavilion, and saw that the two boxes of things had been burnt black.

"After burning like this, the fire didn't spread, and there was no noise. I'm afraid it's just trying to delay our opening." Liu Pipa analyzed with a frown.

Mo Xue nodded: "Besides, the things made here have been spilled all over the floor, and they are not usable at all. We will pay for it."

Xia Bai'an bent over and looked at the traces of the fire, it was clearly poured with oil, otherwise how could even the shell of the wooden box be burnt and crisp inside, with such heavy traces of man-made.

Nine out of ten it is inseparable from Yunxue.

"She's really restless."
