Chapter 149 Transmigration into Stepmother Literature × SimpletonTyrantGuard (10)
Everything was harmonious and beautiful, if one ignored Qin Xiangming outside the door.
He stood there silently for a long time before leaving with a dark expression.
Since the matter of the clinic hadn't been settled yet, Yun Qiao decided to take Yue Shan and Qin Xiangming out for a stroll the next day.
Although she was still saving money, she couldn't let herself suffer, because she might suddenly die one day. Her sudden death before she transmigrated was just as unexpected.
I took Qin Xiangming to buy some clothes. There was no other way; the idiot's wardrobe didn't even have a few decent clothes.
Of course, it hurt her terribly. Even though she was silly, she looked good in everything, and she couldn't lie and say that any of the clothes didn't look good and that she didn't want them.
Yue Shan followed behind and whispered, "Your Highness, why don't you just pretend to be stupid and make a fuss about not wanting it?"
The prince has no shortage of clothes. Can't he see that his wife is reluctant to part with her money? He has no sense at all.
Qin Xiangming looked at him coldly, and as Yun Qiao turned around, he put on a silly, happy smile again. Anyone could tell that the fool was very happy to have bought new clothes.
When they arrived at the jade section, Yun Qiao took a liking to a pair of jade pendants. She was captivated by them, but when she asked about the price, her smile froze.
Why are prices so high in ancient times? They don't match her monthly allowance of five taels at all.
After glancing at Yue Shan, who knew nothing about it, I gritted my teeth and bought it.
There was nothing she could do; the other person had already handed over their entire fortune to her, so she couldn't be stingy.
After paying and looking at my own things, they looked nice, but they were too expensive. Is this the price of love?
She studied medicine for Xiao Huangmao and spent money on Yue Shan. Is she really just a hopelessly infatuated girl?
No, no, no, it's different. Yue Shan gave all his money to her.
Feeling a bit better that way, he kept half of the jade pendant on himself and gave the other half to Yue Shan.
Yue Shan was taken aback. There were even gifts for him?
Yun Qiao blushed slightly and muttered softly, "A token of our love, keep it safe, don't lose it."
Every era has its own unique items related to love.
After Yun Qiao handed it to him, she turned around embarrassedly and continued shopping. Yue Shan stood there dumbfounded, holding the things, then suddenly blushed and grinned foolishly.
A cool voice came from the side, "It's too expensive. Go tell them you don't want it."
Qin Xiangming was being sarcastic, but Yue Shan couldn't understand it and thought his prince was too stingy, not expensive at all.
"I will save more money for my wife in the future." He was not the kind of gigolo who would spend his wife's money.
At this point, he asked, "Your Highness, may I receive a raise?"
Qin Xiangming gave her a cold look, then turned around and followed Yun Qiao with a silly grin.
After failing to get a raise, Yue Shan carefully put on the jade pendant, holding it in his hand from time to time, afraid of bumping or damaging it. He followed Yun Qiao closely, like a little wife.
It was rare for Yun Qiao to be so generous today; she took the two of them to the most expensive restaurant for lunch.
Looking at the other two people in the private room, who were both very well-behaved, Yun Qiao smiled with satisfaction, patted her silly son's head, and then looked at Yue Shan.
"We seem like a happy family of three."
Yue Shan's silly grin froze for a moment upon hearing this, and he glanced cautiously at his foolish prince.
Yun Qiao was eating and didn't notice anything amiss, still engrossed in her own plans:
"After that person is overthrown and before the new person takes over, we'll find a way to run away and move to another place. I'll open a clinic then, and Yue Shan, you can stop doing those dangerous things and just help with getting medicine and supplies."
They were cautious, but not entirely cautious; they knew they might have eavesdroppers and therefore avoided mentioning the emperor.
Yue Shan listened to her description and nodded in complete agreement. He was fine with whatever his wife said, and he was happy to be her apprentice.
Yun Qiao looked at the clueless fool, without showing favoritism.
"Xiao Ming... Xiao Ming is also very useful. He's so good-looking. When patients see him in the shop, they're happy, and their mood helps them recover faster."
She even put some food on his plate to comfort him.
Then, the next second, she saw Yue Shan push his bowl over as well. Yun Qiao glared at him and then put some food on his plate.
Noticing her sleeve being tugged, Yun Qiao turned around and looked at the simple-minded boy, somewhat puzzled.
Qin Xiangming took out a hairpin from his pocket and looked at her with a pleading expression.
"for you."
Yun Qiao paused, her face serious, "You stole something?"
Oh no, that silly boy has always been very well-behaved. She hadn't discovered he had this kind of quirk. No, he doesn't understand anything, so he probably didn't quite realize it and took it without thinking. It doesn't count as stealing.
Looking at the somewhat aggrieved fool who was frightened by her serious expression, she spoke in a calm tone.
"Thank you, Xiaoming, but this needs to be paid for, you can't just take it, okay? Do you remember where you got it from? We'll pay them back when we get back."
We can't corrupt idiots, or they'll steal something else and get beaten to death.
Seeing her patient instruction, Qin Xiangming was no longer afraid and said, "I'll buy it."
Then, right under Yun Qiao's nose, he took out several silver notes from his pocket.
"Where did you get the money?" Yun Qiao was speechless. The simple-minded boy was still grinning foolishly, completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem.
Qin Xiangming saw that she was getting fierce again, and he cowered in fear, stammering.
"Uncle Butler, he's hiding something. He's hiding this. Do you like it?"
He pointed to the banknote as he spoke.
Yun Qiao took a moment to process it. The fool always spoke in short sentences, but after communicating with him for a while, she could understand his general meaning.
So, somehow he saw the housekeeper hiding money. Although the fool was stupid, he always knew she liked money, since she never hid anything from him. So the fool stole the housekeeper's money.
This is a big deal.
Yun Qiao took all the silver notes and put them in her pocket.
"I'll save it for you, so you can use it when you get married."
It's not that she has low moral standards; it's just that the money the housekeeper embezzled originally belonged to the fool, and she didn't have the ability to get it back for him, so she could only steal as much as she could.
Thinking about it made me feel a little sad, so I patted my silly son's head.
“Go back and tell me where it is. You’re not allowed to take it again, understand? Don’t take other people’s things outside either. If you want something, just tell me. Otherwise, you’ll get beaten up if you get caught. Do you understand what that means? Like those people who used to beat you up every day.”
The fool was indeed frightened and nodded timidly.
Yun Qiao thought for a moment, then decided that she still needed to make things clear: "Stealing is wrong. This time it doesn't count as you stealing, but if you do it again, I'll slap your hand."
Taking what belongs to oneself, what kind of theft is that?
The fool felt wronged, and she still wanted to hit him.
Yun Qiao looked at his pitiful eyes but remained unmoved. If she didn't teach him now, someone else would teach him how to be a person later.
I didn't feel relieved until I saw him nod.
Being a stepmother is tough, but thankfully the simple-minded son is fairly obedient.
Yun Qiao took the hairpin and had Yue Shan put it on her head. Then she looked at the fool, after all, he was a filial son and deserved encouragement.
"I really like it, thank you Xiaoming."
Seeing that the fool was no longer afraid and cowering after being praised, she patted his head affectionately and said, "Eat quickly."
The child probably hasn't eaten anything good in the mansion since she was little. The meals have only improved a little since she came. Look how happy she is with this meal today.
Yue Shan, watching his prince play the fool without leaving a trace, looked on with resentment, wishing he could also be a fool who was cared for.
