Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass

Jiang Yeqian was honestly very curious. "You really won't fall for him? Even if he's so rich and quite good-looking?"

Qi Qingyao cradled her forehead. She immediately lifted her gaze slightly and spat coolly, "You, why do you always think that I'm some lovestruck fool? You think I'd immediately fall hook, line, sinker as long as some good-looking, rich hunk tries to catch me? F*ck, do I look that stupid? Do I look like some brainless idiot? Do you think that if someone were to throw a bone over, I'd wag my tail and lap up to them?"

"That's not what I meant." Really it was not!

Qi Qingyao flew into a rage. "You say you don't mean it, but your every word shows that is exactly what you meant!"

"I'm just afraid that he'd trick you and lead you away. I'm just a bit worried!" Jiang Yeqian explained softly.

Qi Qingyao pointed at his face and said with overweening confidence, "I personally think that you're better looking than him, but did my heart ever beat for you? Preposterous!"

Was that a praise?

So, it seemed that to her, he was better looking than Lu Yan.

Wait a moment. "You turn up your nose at me!! At him!! You even turn up your nose at Si Jin! You only take Heir Pei as a friend! What kind of look do you actually like?"

This sudden question...

Brought Qi Qingyao to a halt.

Si Jin had also widened his eyes as he watched Qi Qingyao particularly curiously.

"You…" Qi Qingyao pointed at Jiang Yeqian. She did not know what to say even after thinking for a long time and finally spat, "You're weird!!"

After saying that...

Qi Qingyao stood up, and spat out more words.

"Why do you want to know what kind of looks I like? I'm well aware of my own circumstances, what qualifications do I have to like others? I've told you everything before, I want to be a wealthy old woman! You absolute, ginormous *sshat!"

With that, she ran off to look for the children; she had agreed to sew a small purse for the children anyway!

The children had said before that they wanted a small money pouch but did not want one that was bought. She, as a mother, should personally be of service to her cuties this one time and make them three cute little pouches! Her children could bring with them some spending change when they go out next time. Children have to learn about finance from a young age!

After Qi Qingyao entered the house, she had the maids bring her needles, thread, and some loose fabric. Taking one glance at the ugly patterns on the fabric, she decided to head out for a trip to buy some better ones.

She took a glance at the weather outside.

Qi Qingyao mumbled to herself as she fished out some banknotes from a small wooden box.

"Snowing right after rain, this weather is so romantic that it's truly a little annoying."

Qi Qingyao entered the house again and changed her clothes. Then, she left for the courtyard.

Jiang Yeqian, who had put his ox-head mask back on, asked, "What are you planning to do, all dressed up like that?"

Qi Qingyao exercised her limbs for a bit. "Naturally, I'm going out to roam around. We've arrived in Qingzhou City for a few days now and since it has been raining every day, we haven't gotten to look around Qingzhou City yet! While I'm at it, I'll buy some rolls of fabric to sew pouches for the children!."

Jiang Yeqian, "..."

Was she really that virtuous?

Did she ask if the children wanted to come with her?

The children had noted that it was once again snowing outside and so said that they did not want to go out, instead choosing to remain in the house playing with the rocking horse!

After Qi Qingyao informed them of everything, the children kissed her cheeks and promised they would not get too rowdy while she was away.

Qi Qingyao could not feel at ease. "Si Jin, Jiang Bai, play a round of rock, scissors, and paper. The winner will come with me to buy fabric while the loser will stay back with the children!"

Jiang Yeqian almost wanted to say that there was no need, that he would stay back without being asked.

Then he thought about it and remembered that it was rare for him to be able to leave the house. So he played rock, paper, scissors with Si Jin.

Si Jin wanted to stay at home anyway so he could swim, so he lost within three rounds of the game.

Jiang Yeqian did not expect that winning would be so easy…!

However, when he walked to the door, Jiang Yeqian suddenly realized that if the children and Si Jin were not tagging along, would that not mean it was only the two of them alone?

When they called for the servant to bring the carriage over, Lu Yan walked over with Dong Jing.

"You plan on going out?"

"To buy fabric."

Qi Qingyao replied curtly as if words were gold.

Lu Yan declared that he would join them.

Qi Qingyao said nothing.

Once the carriage reached the gate, Lu Yan looked at the two carriages and instinctively asked, "You, aren't you going to ride the carriage with me?"

Qi Qingyao's lips twitched. "The treatment has just begun. I'm afraid that you'll kick me out of the carriage if we're going to be in a small space together for a long time."

Lu Yan, "..."

He really wanted to ride a carriage with her, but considering that their distance from the market was considerably long, he dropped the idea.

After Qi Qingyao and Jiang Yeqian got onto the carriage, she patted her thigh. "I'm such a genius! Now that I'm Lu Yan's cooperative partner, he'll be taking care of the expenditure of food, clothes, housing, and transportation. I've saved quite a lot."

Jiang Yeqian muttered a little angrily, "You might have to give him your wife and soldiers (TN: to pay a high price for trying to outwit an enemy.)"

Qi Qingyao was extremely delighted. "I have neither a wife nor soldiers. So I won't be losing anything."

Jiang Yeqian said nothing.

Lu Yan was from the Lu family—the richest family in Northern Liang.

Businessmen… never engage in losing transactions.

However, since the two of them were alone...

Jiang Yeqian was about to say something to her but as soon as he turned his head, he saw that the woman was already asleep, spread out in her seat and mumbling as she hugged her blanket.

Jiang Yeqian, "..."

There was a full-grown adult male in the carriage.

Yet, she fell asleep so carelessly!!

What if it were not him but someone else?

Would she fall asleep so defenselessly too?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yeqian became inexplicably angry.

He really wanted to wake her up forcefully, but the moment his hand fell on her round shoulder, he stopped himself.

Looking at her delicate, sleeping face, Jiang Yeqian withdrew his hand.

…

The white cat and Lu Yan were alone in their carriage. The cat was feeling a little bored, its golden cat eyes squinting lazily while its big tail was flapping sluggishly on the next seat. It glanced morosely at Lu Yan who was sitting next to it.

Lu Yan sat cross-legged in his seat and glanced at the sad looking, white cat.

Why was it giving him this expression?

They were going out together yet it was still giving him an attitude.

This cat was becoming more and more disobedient recently.

The white cat was thinking about how it really wanted to stay home with the young man. It had no interest in going out to buy fabric...

Its master was a real piece of work!

His condition was not a big deal. Why did he need to come in contact with humans? Were things not good enough as they were now?

…

…

Qi Qingzhu once again returned to Qingzhou City from Baishui Town. After running around for a few days, she was physically and mentally exhausted. After she entered the Jiang residence through the small door, Qi Qingzhu first went to the manager to report that she was back.

When the manager saw Qi Qingzhu, they were quite surprised. "Qingzhu, didn't you request for seven days off? Why have you returned so soon?"

Qi Qingzhu tried to make a joke of it. "There was nothing much going on at home so I decided to hurry back to the Miss's side to help her out."

The manager was overjoyed hearing this. Seeing how disheveled she looked, she knew that Qi Qingzhu had braved the rain on her journey back. She was looking a little haggard. "It's good that you came back early. Then, I'll give you your holiday expenses as usual."

"Thank you, manager."

Qi Qingzhu thanked the manager several times for their kindness.

After she went back to her room, she first sorted out her simple baggage and then looked at the handkerchief inside. The handkerchief contained a jade tablet and a white jade ring.

That servant had said that her sister and Heir Pei traveled together previously. Heir Pei must know where her sister was!

Qi Qingzhu considered trying to find out where the Lord Heir lived the next day.
