Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass

Qi Yuanxiu hurriedly sucked up to the old man, saying, "What Father said makes sense."

Qi Boli was deep in thought for a long time before he finally said, "Those people that came over just now were spouting exaggerated nonsense. They are probably hoping that we will go to Qingzhou City and cause a scene."

Madam Wu's eyes suddenly lit up for a moment before she lowered her gaze. She began thinking about it—Madam Li had indeed looked a little strange when she came over just now.

It was as if she was intentionally telling her about the matter.

Qi Boli continued, "It's hard to tell if we might get used like tools if we were to go."

Madam Liang could not agree to the old man's thinking and retorted, "How is that possible? They were only thinking of telling us that she had struck it rich."

"If she's rich, she's rich. What does it have to do with us?" Qi Yuanxiu said firmly.

Qi Boli noted his son's resolution and relaxed a little. He sighed and murmured, "God knows what she's capable of, considering she was able to get close to Heir Pei and the Lu family."

Madam Wu had no more words of retort.

Qi Boli continued, "Ever since she got her brains in the right direction, the things she has accomplished are not something ordinary people could pull off. I heard Ma Sanye say that she once stayed at the Longmen Inn in Baishui Town for a whole month and that she had even cured Heir Pei! After getting her money, she even procured land to build a house. After that, she went to Qingzhou City… this series of actions. Perhaps it was already decided by fate that she was too talented to stay in her current station after becoming smart."

'Too talented to stay in her current station.' These words shocked Madam Wu and made her think of some things that happened in the past, as well as those two keepsakes.

Could it really be that her motive had been to… seize the opportunity?

She absent-mindedly said, "That could be right, that child has always been good-looking. Now that she's smart, she does look… a little bit like an official lady."

Qi Yuanxiu, "…"

Madam Liang said a little doubtfully, "Mother?"

Madam Wu rubbed her forehead, her speaking becoming somewhat incoherent. "I… I have something to discuss with your father."

Then she cast a meaningful look at Qi Boli.

Qi Boli got up and followed his wife out of the room. After Madam Wu closed the door, Qi Boli went ahead and made his position clear. "If you intend to go to Qingzhou City and shame me again, you are going alone."

Madam Wu shook her head. "That's not it. That's not what I want to talk about."

To be honest, she actually wanted to go as well, but since the old man already put his foot down...

She knew what he was thinking.

Ever since the death of his eldest son, Qi Yuancheng, the old man had changed a lot. He had become quieter, and also more stubborn.

Qi Boli asked, "Then what do you want to talk about?"

"I…" Madam Wu took a deep breath and then began, "What you said before, I've also given some thought about it. There's plenty of chaos in Qingzhou City, I know that. You said that that person had come over intentionally to say these things, hoping to use us as chess pieces. Maybe she's been targeted because she's gotten close to Heir Pei and the richest man in Northern Liang. Or maybe she offended the Lu family and the other parties are waiting for us to cause trouble in Qingzhou City so that they can teach her a lesson."

Qi Boli looked at his wife cautiously, then asked, "What are you trying to say now with all this?"

Madam Wu muttered to herself for a moment. "You also know it, she's not actually ours."

Qi Boli was stunned—he did not think his wife would bring this topic up on her own accord.

Madam Wu continued, "She is actually good-looking but was a fool before this and had always come off as turbid and stupid. But she's no longer stupid now and is intelligent. I've sort of given up, considering all the things she has done in just these few months." She paused, then said, "I wish to go to Qingzhou City but not to cause trouble or anything. I want to tell her the truth about who she is."

Qi Boli was immensely surprised. "Are you being sincere?"
