Exile with Storage Space: Family Fortunes in the Barren Lands-Chapter 812 - 760: The Grand Finale (Part 1)

Li Jing and Li Yu each picked up a lump of mud and squeezed it in their hands, glaring angrily at that person.

Chai Eying turned her head and saw Miss Chai coming towards her.

Miss Chai’s outfit was more luxurious than before, and the look she gave Chai Eying was also more arrogant.

Seeing her, Chai Eying showed no particular expression and did not greet her.

Miss Chai smiled, "I wondered why you looked familiar. Turns out, it’s Third Sister. Tsk tsk tsk, are you living like someone from the village now?"

She stared at Chai Eying’s attire with an expression of disdain.

Nanny Jiang, the old servant of Chai Eying’s family, said coldly, "Miss, hasn’t Third Lady done anything to you? Why speak to her like this?"

"Get lost, my mother doesn’t want to see you!" Li Jing snapped angrily.

"I also hate you! You wicked woman!" Li Yu shouted fiercely.

The little guy was one and a half years old and mimicked his siblings’ lively language every day.

Miss Chai sneered coldly, "Uneducated villagers! Deserve to live in the village forever!"

Chai Eying was so furious that her face turned white.

Nanny Jiang waved her hand at Miss Chai, "Go, go, go, we don’t want to talk to you! If you don’t leave, I might just start scolding!"

Miss Chai took a few steps back, pointed at a nanny beside her, and mocked, "Nanny Jiang, I asked you to follow me back then but you refused, insisting on following Third Sister. Look at what you’re wearing, all ragged old clothes. My family’s Nanny Cui is wearing Shu Brocade. Have you ever worn it?"

Nanny Cui smiled deliberately while flicking her sleeves.

"Say what you need to say, and leave if there’s nothing else. This is the Liu Family, they’re hosting a wedding feast. Don’t you think it’s inappropriate to make a fuss here?" Chai Eying sneered.

"Of course, I have something to say. I was looking for you, never thought I’d find you here." Miss Chai reached up to adjust the heavy golden hairpin in her bun, "I’m going to the Capital with my husband. My father-in-law has opened a shop there, earned some money over the past half year. My mother-in-law and I will go to the Capital. We depart tomorrow, and from now on, my family will be Capital people. Third Sister, if you ever want to visit the Capital, find me at Fengyi Square."

Chai Eying curled her lips slightly, "Isn’t your husband’s shop the one that sells and rents funeral supplies? Like mourning clothes, funeral curtains, and people hired to mourn."

After Li Xingmao left, every night Chai Eying would think of him, and she took out the map of the Capital he gave her before he left.

Imagining where Li Xingmao might be conducting business in the Capital’s markets.

Because she looked at it every day, over time, she memorized the markets in the Capital.

She noted down what shops and mansions of prominent families were in each market.

Nanny Jiang was startled, but soon smirked.

Miss Chai looked embarrassed, too angry to speak.

Renting and selling those things is highly taboo; she didn’t want to mention it, but her father-in-law and husband said that business makes money.

As long as it makes money, who cares about taboos?

Yet, she didn’t like the villagers to know.

Miss Chai raised her eyebrows, "Nonsense! My family sells incense and lamp oil, just like your brother’s family."

"I know all the shops and mansions in every market in the Capital, you don’t need to argue." Chai Eying waved at Miss Chai, "Go earn your money and enjoy being a Capital person, I’ll stay a countrywoman here, we won’t interfere with each other."

She held Guoguo’s hand in one and Li Jing’s hand in the other, telling Nanny Jiang to take care of Li Yu, "Nanny, let’s go home, but first, let’s greet the Liu Family."

Nanny Jiang glared at Miss Chai and turned away coldly.

Miss Chai sneered, "Oh, Chai Eying, why are you always with the children? Where’s your husband? Off making money? Or... causing trouble and ended up in jail?"

"Your husband is the one in jail! Your whole family is locked up!" Guoguo shouted sharply.

"You little brat, born without a mother or father, you dare insult me?" Miss Chai raised her hand to hit Guoguo.

Chai Eying shielded Guoguo behind her and slapped Miss Chai, "I’m her mother, try scolding her again!"

As a girl, she was never afraid of the two sisters from the Chai family’s second branch, and now as a mother, she felt even tougher. Anyone who dared bully her kids would get a beating!

"Alright, Chai Eying, you dare hit me? I’ll fight you, Nanny Cui, beat her!" Miss Chai covered her numb face and yelled for Nanny Cui.

The master and servant duo lunged at Chai Eying together.

Li Jing and Li Yu, the little brothers, acted simultaneously, throwing the mud blocks in their hands at Miss Chai and her servant.

Under Guoguo’s supervision, the two kids practiced throwing every day, and anything within twenty steps was always a sure hit.

The mud blocks in their hands accurately smashed onto the faces of Miss Chai and her servant.

The mud exploded, covering the two faces and bodies with mud dust.

Miss Chai swatted at the mud on her face, cursing, "You little brats, watch how I deal with you!"

"Try dealing with one," Li Xingmao’s deep and authoritative voice suddenly resonated.

Chai Eying, Nanny Jiang, and a few children turned around, while Miss Chai also spun in surprise.

They saw Li Xingmao riding a horse, accompanied by a team of lightly armored guards, approaching.

Li Xingmao’s attire was different from usual, though it was hard to pinpoint exactly how.

All in all, his face was the same, but his entire demeanor had completely changed.
