Chapter 513: Chapter 513, Making a Decision (17th Update)

Everyone was busying themselves.

He thought about getting off the boat to meet the people from Number One Manor in Gaocheng County, but soon, he noticed quite a few people from the Martial World eyeing the boat.

Qin Yu turned around and went back to the small hall.

Seeing that the room was full of female family members, he simply returned to his compartment.

Zhao Xiuya saw him and quickly followed him into the compartment, closing the door behind her, “What’s wrong?”

“Many people from the Martial World!” Qin Yu said in a deep voice.

...

His gaze was dark.

“Targeting us?” Zhao Xiuya asked.

“Hmm!”

These people weren’t making a move, wary of the experts on board.

Uncle Ya, those four guards, and the old master. Even that unassuming Miss Xie, Zhinuan, was likely a formidable expert, which is why those people didn’t dare to act rashly.

They were lingering around the boat.

“What do we do? Are we just going to let them watch us like this?”

“We leave!” Qin Yu said seriously.

“Leave…” Zhao Xiuya exclaimed, “What about Maomao?”

These past few days, the old master had been administering acupuncture to Qin Mao, and Xie Zhinuan had set up a medicinal diet room. Qin Mao’s body had improved a lot, he could walk on the ground and wasn’t gasping for air so much that he couldn’t even sit still.

“Xiuya, the two of us will leave, we’ll leave the child here, and declare to the outside that Maomao has passed away. We’ll bring back a fake child, and if Maomao were to come with us, having an additional child will make it very difficult for us to return to Number One Manor safely!”

The struggle for leadership involved too much complexity, it was either kill or be killed.

Now that the opposition wanted to put them in a desperate situation, they only had to fend for themselves, otherwise…

“Is there really no other way?” Zhao Xiuya asked softly.

Leaving the child with Xie Zhinuan, she believed Zhinuan wouldn’t mistreat the child, but, but she couldn’t bear to part with him.

“Maomao still needs treatment. Miss Xie can’t possibly follow us back to Number One Manor. So, Maomao must stay behind. Xiuya, since ancient times, it’s been hard to have the best of both worlds, we must make a choice!” Qin Yu pressed earnestly.

“Let me think!”

She gently opened the door of the compartment and looked out to the small hall, where Mu Rourou was playing and frolicking, that girl, who had initially been a bit shy, had now gotten along with the kids.

If she wanted to eat pastries or something, she’d ask the two children if they wanted some, but Qin Yu couldn’t eat sweets, and Xie Yi didn’t like them, so in the end, a whole plate of pastries ended up in her stomach.

She laughed happily, and observing her, Qin Mao seemed to cheer up as well.

“Are you really not going to try it? It’s fun!” said Mu Rourou softly.

She had never played with these things before, and now that no one was supervising her, she really let herself go, playing however she pleased, not caring about making money.

Just a few days ago, she had given Auntie Chen a thousand taels of silver, letting Aunt Chen handle the clothes for the maids and the matrons, the rest she left unmanaged.

Qin Mao shook his head.

But warmth and emotion had already appeared in his eyes.

Mu Rourou never treated him like a sick person, she wasn’t overly cautious or eager to please. When she played with Xie Yi, she didn’t act like an adult. She sat cross-legged on the carpet, piling up the wooden blocks in a variety of beautiful shapes and designs.

He wanted to play too, but his body wouldn’t allow it.

Too much excitement was out of the question, he could only sit there calmly, watching her and Xie Yi play.

Xie Zhinuan returned with things in hand.

“Mother!” Xie Yi quickly ran over.

Mu Rourou also stood up promptly, but reached out towards Qin Mao, “Come on, I’ll lead you!”

“…”

Qin Mao hesitated for a while before placing his hand in hers.

Mu Rourou was healthy, her hands were very warm.

She loved to smile, her laughter was gentle, and her gentleness was tinged with innocence, void of calculations.

“Sister Xie!”

“Auntie!”
