Chapter 97 Want to humiliate her? Who's humiliating whom is still unknown!
Wei Zhishu had arranged for six people to be buried alive by Xia Mo's bodyguards, turning them into small graves.
Wei Zhishu personally arranged this, not only involving himself but also sending twenty people.
Ten people were used to distract the person secretly protecting Xia Mo, two others were used to distract Xia San Ge, and the remaining eight people were used to kidnap Xia Mo.

forecourt--
At the end of summer, Xia Sange entered the Wei residence.
The maid stepped forward and said, "Male, please stop in the outer courtyard. The area behind is for women, and only Miss Xia may go there."
Xia Sange stayed right next to Xia Mo and wouldn't leave.
The maid wouldn't dare to physically force Xia Sange to leave.
In late summer, I simply stayed in the front yard and didn't go to the backyard.
Ma Yiyi, a woman and one of the main characters of the day, was in the backyard chatting with the wives and daughters of officials, gentry, and wealthy merchants from Anping County.
Ma Yiyi was ready. Once Xia Mo entered, she would mobilize the wives and daughters of officials, gentry, and wealthy merchants to verbally attack him.
Of course...
Ma Yiyi's face darkened when she heard the maid say that Xia Mo was going to be with Xia Sange in the outer courtyard, but she didn't see Xia Mo enter the inner courtyard.
For a moment, Ma Yiyi didn't know what to do.
Instead, it was Wei Zhishu who sent a message.
The maid whispered in Ma Yiyi's ear, "Third Master said that since your good friend is coming, why don't you go to the front yard to greet him personally?"
Wei Zhishu also wanted to separate Xia Mo from Xia Sange, so that his chances of kidnapping Xia Mo would increase by another ten percent.
Upon hearing the maid's message, Ma Yiyi's face turned pale. She forced a smile and nodded, "Yes, Third Master is right. I will go to greet him personally."
As soon as Ma Yiyi made a move, the sycophantic ladies and young ladies immediately followed suit.
"Who is it that you, Miss Ma, have come to greet me personally?" Magistrate Chu's wife, who was old enough to be Ma Yiyi's eye level, still greeted her with a smile.
“There’s no one here, just… a girl from the same village as me, someone I grew up with,” Ma Yiyi said, deliberately revealing her disgust for Xia Mo before quickly composed herself.
"Well, now that I'm getting married to Master Wei, she wanted to come and see me. But when I think about how beautiful she is... I get a little worried," Ma Yiyi sighed and continued walking forward.
The comments on the screen in front of Ma Yiyi were attacking her acting skills.
A commenter named "Ma Gaikui" said: "His acting was so bad, I could tell he was deliberately trying to make it look bad."
Comment from the live chat: "You can't just say it outright, you have to hint at it. But your hint is way too obvious..."
……
forecourt--
In late summer, he mingled among the officials, gentry, and wealthy merchants of Anping County, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"She's so beautiful! Whose daughter is this?"
At this time, a woman getting married would put her hair up in a bun, but in late summer, the ends of her hair would be left down, which also meant that she was not yet married.
"Does anyone know whose daughter that is? Why didn't she go to the women's backyard?"
Whether they were old or young, everyone's eyes were fixed on Xia Mo's face.
Here, apart from Xia Sange, Xia Mo has no need to act. She simply stands expressionless, exuding a cold, aloof, and unapproachable aura.
As summer drew to a close, it deliberately released an aura of coldness, aloofness, and unapproachability. Officials, gentry, and wealthy merchants clearly wanted to get close, but for some reason, they dared not approach.
"Does nobody know?"
They still wanted to know who Xia Mo was.
That is, at this moment—
Ma Yiyi led a group of ladies and young women out.
The men in the front yard immediately recognized their wives and daughters and couldn't help but look curiously at Ma Yiyi, who was walking at the front.
Ma Yiyi has already completed many live-streaming tasks and received many rewards. For example, her current walking posture is something she gained from completing these tasks.
At this moment, Ma Yiyi walked with an upright posture. As she walked, the tassels on her head did not sway wildly, but swayed slightly in a regular pattern, giving people a sense of beauty.
However, those who saw Ma Yiyi's demeanor couldn't find anything wrong with it, but for some reason... they just had a gut feeling that Ma Yiyi was a bit pretentious.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Ma Yiyi curled her lips into a smug smile, which carried a hint of allure.
The phrase "smiling with a hint of charm" was also something Ma Yiyi acquired while completing tasks in the live-streaming system.
Ma Yiyi had exquisite makeup on her face and looked like a super beauty. At this moment, she was being stared at by a group of men with infatuated eyes, and she felt a little smug.
“MoMo,” Ma Yiyi shouted deliberately.
Xia Mo pretended not to hear and continued talking to Xia San Ge.
"Third Brother, would you like to go and take a look at Anning Prefecture?" Xia Mo knew that Ma Yiyi was deliberately calling out her name in front of everyone.
Xia Sange glanced at the drastically changed Ma Yiyi, his eyes filled with shock. He recognized her; this was Ma Yiyi, but the current Ma Yiyi... was so much prettier than she had been in the village! The change was so drastic that if they were to meet by chance on the street, he wouldn't even recognize her.
"Yes," Xia Sange immediately snapped out of his daze upon hearing Xia Mo speak and began to listen attentively to her words.
"Will I take you there after this banquet?" Xia Mo asked.
Xia Sange said, "Let's go home first."
The wealthy businessman who heard Xia Mo speak was speechless.
Anping County is nearly two hundred li away from Anning Prefecture! Even at full speed, it would take a whole day to travel that distance, but in the mouth of that fairy-like girl, it was as if she only had to walk a short distance. It sounds... a little funny.
Country girl, indeed, has limited knowledge.
"That's... the girl from the same village who grew up with you?" Old Madam Chu, standing to the side, couldn't quite manage a smile when she saw Xia Mo.
With such a beautiful face in late summer, her husband must have already seen it and probably started having inappropriate thoughts.
Old Madam Chu didn't blame Magistrate Chu, but rather Xia Mo, for how could she be so beautiful!
vixen!
“Yes,” Ma Yiyi nodded gracefully and called out to Xia Mo again, “Mo’er.”
Even as summer draws to a close, I still don't want to turn back.
Her arrival was enough to allow Ma Yiyi to complete the first side quest and obtain the recipe for making tofu. As for the blueprints for the threshing machine, she didn't want to cooperate.
Seeing that Xia Mo was ignoring her, Ma Yiyi felt a little embarrassed and her lips twitched. She could only take the initiative to walk past Xia Mo.
When Ma Yiyi approached, Xia Mo looked at her with a reserved and arrogant gaze.
Ma Yiyi is a year older than Xia Mo and half a head taller than Xia Mo, but so what?
Xia Mo said with a hint of disdain, "You wanted me to come, so here I am. That's settled then."
Ma Yiyi frowned; she hadn't humiliated Xia Mo yet!
Ma Yiyi didn't want the tofu-making recipe; she wanted the blueprints for the threshing machine! That was something that could earn her political achievements. If she got it, she could give it to Wei Zhishu and gain his favor!
"Mo'er, why are you so cold?" Ma Yiyi was being disgusting, deliberately acting like she was being bullied.
Xia Mo rolled her eyes, her domineering yet charmingly blunt: "You're deliberately making it look like I'm bullying you, so I won't be polite."
As Xia Mo spoke, she raised her hand and slapped Ma Yiyi across the face. The movement was swift and decisive, giving Ma Yiyi no chance to withdraw her expression.
"Snapped--"
Xia Mo's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Trying to humiliate her? We'll see who humiliates whom!"
