"Alright." Mo Xiaoyan stood up and headed over, after washing her face and eating, she continued to rush over.

These two roasted chickens had taken a lot of time, but everyone was enjoying themselves.

It had been raining all the way back. It had rained almost every two to three days. The whole day had been delayed because of this. Otherwise, they would have arrived at the capital a few days ago.

It started to rain again as they walked. There was no other choice but to find a nearby house and go in to take shelter from the rain.

"What's going on recently? Why does it love rain so much?" Mo Linyu looked at his clothes which were completely drenched by the rain, and felt very depressed in his heart.

"Yeah, when I came, I had never seen so much rain. It's still raining now." Lady Li was also very agitated because of this rainy day.

"Please take a seat inside. The rain won't be able to cover it even if you are outside under the eaves." The old man stood at the door and said with a hoarse voice.

This was an earthen room, and it seemed to be rather old. There were only two rooms, and two elders lived inside. Their lives must have been very bitter, and both of them were thin as a skin and bones.

"Mhmm, thank you so much, old people." Mo Dalin said gratefully.

"What's there to thank me for? Just don't mind the shabby house." The old man said with a smile.

"No, it's already good enough for you to let us come to your house to shelter from the rain. How could we not mind?" Mo Dalin walked into the house and said.

"You guys definitely haven't eaten yet. I'll go cook, you go greet them." Even though their family was very poor, the two old men weren't stingy at all.

"Alright, then go quickly." The elderly took out all the chairs and placed them in the house so that Mo Dalin and the others could have a seat.

"Old man, we're eating on the road, so don't bother. When the rain stops, we'll have to continue on our way." Mo Dalin could also tell that this family's days were not too good. They would definitely be short of food, and cooking for six or seven people also required a lot of food.

"Since you're already here, then eat your meal before leaving. It's just plain plain plain rice, don't mind it. You can barely fill your stomach." The old man said hoarsely.

"Old grandpa, there's really no need for that. It seems like the rain is about to stop. We'll be leaving soon. You guys don't need to trouble yourselves." Mo Xiaoyan was moved in her heart, although this family lived a hard life, they were still quite nice people.

"It's fine, it's not troublesome at all. Let's go after eating. The old woman has already gone to cook." the old man insisted.

"Mm, that's fine too. Then we'll leave after eating. Thank you, old grandpa." Yu Ruoyu felt that it was not good to keep refusing.

"As expected of this young lady." The old man smiled.

The meal was very simple. It was just a pot of sweet potato congee. Everyone drank a bowl of sweet potato congee and the rain outside gradually lessened.

When Yu Ruoyu and Mo Xiaoyan left, they quietly left some silver coins in the old man's hands, hoping that they could live a better life in the future.

The rain had passed and the weather was clear. The air outside had become much fresher, and the smell gave people a refreshing feeling.

"We're about to reach the capital. Miss Ruoyu, where are you going to find people in the capital?" Mo Linyu asked while driving the horse carriage.

"I don't know where it is either. I only know the general location." Yu Ruoyu thought about it and replied.

"Miss Ruoyu, if you don't have anywhere to stay in Beijing, you can come to my place. When you get to the capital, come with us to my place." Mo Xiaoyan said loudly as she lifted the carriage's curtain.

"Xiaoyan, there's no need. Time is of the essence, I need to hurry and find someone." Yu Ruoyu felt that Mo Xiaoyan was a good person, she was worthy of being a friend.

"That's fine too, then we'll meet again if fate wills it." Since Yu Ruoyu had something important to discuss, she felt too embarrassed to continue talking. If she was fated, she would definitely meet him again.

Two days later, they arrived at the capital. "Miss Ruoyu, be more careful in the capital by yourself, we'll be leaving first." Mo Xiaoyan said her goodbyes with a smile.

"Alright, then we'll meet again in the future." Yu Ruoyu did not say much and rode her horse to leave.

When he returned home, he saw Old Master Mo and Old Lady Mo playing in the courtyard with Mo Dongxue.

"Father, mother, we are back." Mo Dalin walked into the courtyard and shouted.

"You finally came back. Didn't you say you would be back in a month? Why did you only come back after a month? You're almost worried to death." Old Lady Mo stood up and said worriedly.

"It's always raining on the way, so it's delayed for a while." Mo Dalin explained.

"Just come back." Seeing that Mo Dalin and the others had returned, Old Master Mo heaved a sigh of relief.

"Grandfather, is Dongxue still obedient during this period of time?" Mo Linyu walked over and picked Mo Dongxue up.

"Obedient, Dongxue is quite obedient." Old Master Mo rather liked bringing Mo Dongxue out to the courtyard to play.

"That's good, I'm afraid I'm giving you guys too much trouble." Mo Linyu felt that the two old men were already old, bringing a little kid would take a lot of effort, but the key point was that the little kids didn't know anything, so it was too noisy.

"Are you all tired? Hurry up and go to your rooms to rest. I'll go cook dinner for you." The Old Lady Mo said as she walked towards the kitchen.

"Mother, I'll do it. Please go rest." Lady Li also knew that it must be hard enough for Old Lady Mo to bring Mo Dongxue along.

"I'm not tired, what's there to rest for? All of you go take a quick rest. I'm sure we didn't rest well on the way." Old Lady Mo wouldn't let him help her no matter what.

"Mom, sorry for troubling you." Lady Li was quite touched.

"Alright, when the food is ready, I'll go call you guys." After Old Lady Mo finished, he went to the kitchen.

Mo Xiaoyan also went to her room to rest. On the way back, other than staying in the inn for a few days, she would rest outside the door the rest of the time.

After lying down, he quickly fell asleep. When he woke up, there was a knock on the door. It was Lady Li knocking on the door.

"Xiaoyan, get up and eat." Lady Li shouted as she knocked on the door.

"Mom, you go eat first, I'll get up immediately." Although I'm awake now, I'm still very sleepy.

When they returned home to eat, they felt that it was delicious, Wang Dacheng and Mo Xiaoxia had just finished eating dinner and had already returned.

Mo Xiaoyan was sitting in the yard eating some fruits, "Xiaoyan, when did you come back?" Mo Xiaoxia was very happy to see Mo Xiaoyan sitting there.

"He returned at noon. Second Sister, have you closed the shop's doors?" Mo Xiaoyan casually asked.

"That's right, we came back after selling it. I didn't expect you guys to come back too. That's great." Mo Xiaoxia also walked over and sat down.
