"Understood, Third Miss."

"Yes!" Mo Li and Mo Ju replied together. Mothers smiled as she sewed her purse, without even lifting her head, there was no difference between marrying or not marrying. From the looks of it, Third Miss already knew the result, she just didn't say it.

The current situation was that the two prefectures had already broken up. Even if they were married off, there might not be any good outcomes. If they didn't marry off, then naturally, there wouldn't be any good results either.

"I can't even say which step I've walked to. Other people are all trying to curry favor with me, so we won't need to do so. But you should at least have a better eye for things. Why do you have to step on them? Can you even do it?"

Master Zheng looked like he hated his wife for not being able to live up to his expectations. He had always held this wife in his hands and always kept her heart close to his lungs.

The rain and wind outside had nothing to do with this shabby little courtyard. Zheng Qingluo, along with Mo Li, Mo Ju and Mothers, focused all of their attention on making bags and handkerchiefs.

There was no need to mention Zheng Qingluo's tricks, she was easily able to do it. Furthermore, under the guidance of Mothers, her sewing and embroidery skills, Mo Meng and Mo Ju, had also grown up.

In just a little more than ten days, Mo Li's purse was already out. Although it was roughly comparable to Mothers's, if one looked carefully, there was still some gap.

Looking back at the flowery pattern of her embroidery, the occasional one could be mixed into the finished purse and filled in the numbers. Mo Li said that she was faking it.

"Who's fake, could it be that what you said is the truth?"

After being told that she was acting all fake, Mo Ju was very unwilling to accept it. However, she had only used her mouth to speak of it. After all, the things that she had embroidered still needed to be improved upon.

"Third Miss, we've already embroidered so many wallets, how can we exchange them for silver?"

After all, the Third Miss' position in the mansion was very awkward, and even her servants wanted to step on her. If she asked for their help, she could tell that it was impossible.

"Third Miss isn't in a hurry, why are you in a hurry? There will be a way."

Seeing how calm and composed Third Miss was, Mo Li felt at ease. Since she fell down, Third Miss had changed a lot. She knew everything and kept everything under her control, making herself feel more at ease for no reason.

"How long will it take? I'm already worried to death, yet you're trying to learn from the young miss."

With a silent laugh, he went back to his work, ignoring her and allowing her to scratch her cheeks in anxiety.

"Big sister Mo Li, Mama Pan wishes to meet Third Miss."

"Moyu, quickly invite the Mama Pan in, I will invite the young miss out."

Hearing that the Mama Pan had come, Mo Li sent Mo Ju to fetch the Mama Pan, while he himself got up excitedly to go inside. Mo Ju was confused, but still obediently went to the courtyard door to fetch the Mama Pan.

Mama Pan, quickly come in. What wind is it that brings you here? If there's anything you need to tell me, just ask the little girl to come over.

As Moyu welcomed the Mama Pan in, she flattered him. It had to be said that only in front of Zheng Qingluo and the others did Moyu occasionally act like a fool.

"Mama Pan, I've brought you in, come in quickly." By the time she met him at the door, he had come out to do the draping.

"I'll be troubling the two ladies. I can do it myself." As she spoke, she gently lifted the curtain with her hand and walked into the room.

"Third Miss."

When Mama Pan entered the room, she saw Third Young Miss sitting at the round table waiting for her. She walked over in a few steps and bowed respectfully towards Third Young Miss.

"Mama Pan is too courteous, please take a seat. Because of me, I have to trouble you to take care of this matter, I am truly sorry." Zheng Qingluo raised her eyes and glanced at the chrysanthemum. The chrysanthemum stood up and walked out of the room, standing at the door to guard it.

Mama Pan could not help but secretly praise the third young miss. Although she was young, she was a very considerate person. Just by looking at how she was being trained, she was definitely not someone that the two young misses could compare with.

"If there's anything Third Miss needs, please feel free to ask. As long as this old servant can help, this old servant will not refuse." Zheng Qingluo laughed. She really didn't see the wrong person.

"Mama Pan is too courteous, although it is not a big deal, but with Mama Pan's words, I am still relieved." Zheng Qingluo personally poured a cup of hot water for Mama Pan, who was overwhelmed by the favor.

"Mama Pan, we, the wise men, will not talk in secret. Since I have asked for your help, I will trust you. You should know my situation.

"I'm already 13 years old, I still have two more years to go. I don't know what will happen in the future, who knows, so I want to save some money by myself."

"But I don't have anything here, so I'm not able to go outside either. I'll let Mothers think of a way to make some bags, kernels, etc. Please see if you can help us deal with them when you leave the house."

"Of course I can't let mom work for nothing. You must not take too much effort from me, young master Yin. So, when you are not in a difficult situation, can you please lend me a hand?"

These words made the Mama Pan a little sad. A child without his mother was really pitiful. A young miss without any copper coins on her really had not seen anything like this.

"Third Miss, don't mention it. If you have any difficulties, don't make it difficult, it's just a small matter. Don't worry, I'll take some with me. If there's a chance, I'll help you exchange them for silver coins."

Thank you, Mama Pan. You can take these back first, but do not rush to bring back the silver coins. After you sell the money, help me pick out some nice clothes.

Zheng Qingluo pointed at the embroidery materials. "As you can see, I only have two colors here: autumn and Hibiscus. It's too monotonous. Please help me bring back some fresh ones."

"I will, I will. Don't worry, Third Miss will definitely make you satisfied." Just bringing back some fabrics and embroidery thread was a difficult task for the Third Young Miss, but it was extremely convenient for Mama Pan.

Mama Pan, I also know that it is not convenient for you to come to my place, so I will ask Mo Lue to come find you in the future.

Don't worry, 30 years in the east, 30 years in the west. If anything happens to the Mama Pan in the future, I will do my best to not lie.

With this promise, there was nothing left for him to worry about. Mama Pan bowed once more, this kind of Third Young Miss was definitely not the weak Third Young Miss that he normally saw.

"Why are you hiding this from me? I'm not someone who doesn't know what's important." With regards to the matter of Mo Li secretly contacting the Mama Pan, Mo Ju was extremely resentful, as if she had become an outsider.

"It's not that I want to hide it from you, it's because I don't know what the outcome will be. Of course, if one less person knows, one less person would know, and not only you, even Mothers doesn't know that we found Mama Pan. Look, Mothers isn't angry, only you are petty."

Mo Li was actually a bit sorry. After all, they had grown up together, but she couldn't ruin Third Young Miss's plan. If she didn't manage to complete the task, there was a high chance that it would be leaked.

If only one person knew about it, then one person would be punished. Mo Li and Zheng Qingluo were thinking the same thing, but this matter couldn't be told to Mo Ju, for fear that she would blame herself, so they could only scold her.

"How am I narrow-minded? I think you're narrow-minded because you're always afraid of my bad deeds." Although she said this, she was actually relieved. After so many years of being together, Mo Lai's feelings for him were something that Mo Ju knew.

"You still say you aren't petty? Ah, this was painted specially by the young lady for you, to comfort your grievances." After receiving it, Mo Ju immediately became happy.

"Wow, so beautiful. Thank you, Third Miss." With new flowers in her arms, she lovingly traced them with her hands.
