Qiao Mai took a deep breath and carefully pulled open the window. With the moonlight, she saw five shadows. Taking in their height and figure, she could not recall anyone familiar from her memory.

She quietly took the silent pistol from her chest pocket, placed it on the window sill, and aimed it at a person’s head.

With a dull thud, one of the black shadows fell to the ground.

Before the other figures could react, five muffled gunshots rang out in succession, and one after another fell to the ground.

After waiting for a moment, there was no sound around.

Qiao Mai quietly opened the door and put the five of them into her space with a thought. Then, she quickly cleaned up the blood at the door.

After returning to her room, she quickly locked the door and entered the space.

There were five men in black on the ground. Qiao Mai lifted their masks. She didn’t recognize three of them but recognized the other two.

It was the two thieves who visited her house last time. It seemed they were dissatisfied after being released from prison and brought three more people with them. Did they think that five people would be enough?

Qiao Mai thought, “I didn’t kill you last time but let you live for many more days. It’s considered merciful for you, hmph!”

“This time, I’ll make sure nobody will see you, alive or dead. Your families

won’t be able to tind you even it they look tor you.”

“Tian Yaozu, you didn’t instigate it again, did you?”

“Looks like if I don’t teach you a lesson, you’ll forget your place!”

“There are still two months left before your exam. Boy, just you wait.”

Looking at the five bodies on the ground, she ignored them and moved Ling’er out. The mother and daughter slept until dawn.

When Qiao Mai woke up, she checked the door again. There was no trace left on the curtain.

After eating, she pulled out Dong Zao, tied the saddle on the horse, and locked the door after leaving the courtyard. She carried Ling’er in one hand and supported the horse with the other. She flipped over and got on the horse. The sun was out. The weather was good today. As soon as she went out, many acquaintances greeted her.

“Are you bringing your daughter out for a walk?”

“Yes, it’s spring. The weather is good, so we’re going out to play for a while.”

She rode her horse and slowly strolled towards the north, looking into the distance. The mountains in the northwest were the closest, so she took Ling’er and took a shortcut through the wheat fields.

After riding for about an hour, mountains appeared in front of them.

Dong Zao carried her and shuttled through the forest. If there was no danger, it would continue to move forward until it felt there was no way out and danger ahead. Only then did it stop.

Qiao Mai moved her daughter into the room in her space and the horse into the empty space.

Then, she walked into the mountains alone. After walking for almost two hours, she observed the surrounding scenery. There were wolves, bears, and tiger feces in the mountains. She was already deep in the woods.

With a thought, she threw the five people out.

She did not touch anything on them, including the knife and dagger in their hands.

Cautious, Qiao Mai checked the five people again. After confirming they were all dead, she turned and left without hesitation.

When she arrived at the periphery, she took out Dong Zao again, rode on the horse’s back, and then moved her daughter smoothly.

When the mother and daughter returned to Tianshui Town, it was already afternoon. Ling’er was so sleepy that she was napping on the horse’s back. The purpose of this trip was to get rid of the corpses. From the beginning to the end, no one suspected her, and no one knew what she had done.

Qiao Mai had done this many times in her previous life, so she was not nervous at all. In fact, she was even a little excited.

As long as no one reported them, no one would notice that these five people were missing. As time passed, let alone their bodies, even their bones could not be found. They had long been eaten by the wild beasts in the mountains and turned into feces.

This was the first time she had killed someone since she came here.

When she returned home, Qiao Mai placed Ling’er on the brick bed and took out her account book to calculate the accounts.

Throughout the winter, Qiao Mai didn’t set up her stall to sell goods at home. She still made around three to four hundred taels of silver each month. From the fifteenth onwards until now, even if sales were slightly lower, she still earned around one hundred taels per month.

Adding the income from embroidery, it should be around three to four hundred taels. She would still have four thousand taels of silver left after building the house.

That should be enough to buy some furniture.

With the shop lots, she could add many snacks to sell.

With more variety, the money earned will naturally increase. As long as she doesn’t hire anyone, it will cover the household expenses.

With such a big house, it feels a bit empty without any servants.

But all of this is for the future. Qiao Mai will deal with it when it comes. Right now, she doesn’t have any plans to hire anyone.

Being able to live in a large house and allowing the children to play freely inside is enough. Other things are not that important.

After calculating the accounts, she counted all the silver in the space, which totaled four thousand eight hundred sixty-three taels.

She walked around the shelves, taking out a ginseng root and two embroidered items.

There are many expenses for the new house. When she gets to the Capital, she’ll sell the ginseng at the medical clinic and give the embroidered items to Shopkeeper Lu.

These items won’t reappear as long as they are outside.

Qiao Mai regretted not moving the entire supermarket into her space. The modern Earth has many valuable items.

Especially those rows of jade ornaments she has stored on the shelves. Each one of them is priceless.

In addition, there are various gemstones and diamonds, all part of her collection.

There are also many items obtained through less legitimate means, all strewn on the shelves, waiting to be sold once she can protect herself and her family.

In reality, making money isn’t difficult at all. It’s just that she has become lazy and doesn’t want to exert herself to earn money anymore.

Time flew by, and it was the end of February. Yuan Jiaqi and the children were supposed to return.

Qiao Mai cleaned up the house and prepared another room. Old Mister Wang would be coming back with them.

She even had the heated bed ready. Despite it being nearly March, the weather was still cold.

Qiao Mai and her daughter woke up early to have breakfast, and then she carried Ling’er on her back and got busy in the kitchen.

Calculating the time, they should be coming back around noon. When they entered, a table of food was already laid out on the table.

Indeed, close to noon, a carriage stopped at the entrance of the Qiao family’s home.

Several people got off the carriage, and Old Mister Wang waved his hand. The carriage drivers then urged the horses and moved on.

Qiao Mai opened the courtyard gate with a smile.

“Well, Old Mister Wang, please come inside.”

“Is the food and wine ready?” “Of course.’

“Haha, you are considerate.”

Yuan Jiaqi smiled at her. “My wife has worked hard at home.”

Feng’er, Yun’er, and Chuan’er rushed over. “Mother, sister, we missed you so much.”

“Haha, you missed your mother, huh? Then come back home and eat more. Have a good sleep and help your mother with some chores in the next couple of days.”

“Hehe, that’s a given.”

Entering the living room, Old Mister Wang saw a table full of his favorite dishes and immediately took a seat at the head.

He picked up his chopsticks and urged, “Jiaqi, pour the wine, pour the wine!”

After a month of interaction, Yuan Jiaqi had already understood Old Mister Wang’s temperament. Despite his age, he was like a child.

He could be pampered, liked hearing flattering words, was optimistic, and as long as there was food and drink, he was content.

The family gathered around the table, watching the mouth-watering spread of dishes.

“Mother, we haven’t tasted your cooking for over a month. We’ve missed it so much that we’re practically drooling.”

“Then eat more. Just don’t overeat.”

Yuan Jiaqi filled Old Mister Wang’s cup with wine and did the same for Qiao Mai. After putting down the wine jug, he took Ling’er from her arms.

“Here, let Daddy hold her. Mother worked hard, let her eat, and Daddy will feed you, okay?”

Ling’er looked at Yuan Jiaqi and suddenly smiled, “Daddy!”

Everyone at the table was momentarily stunned, then burst into joyful laughter.

“Little sister can talk now. That’s great! Little sister, call us brothers!”

Qiao Mai gave them a playful look, “She only knows how to call Daddy for now.

If I ask her to call me mother, she just says ‘Mum.’ It’s driving me crazy.”

“Hahaha! “
