I insist

Chapter 82: Go Back and Take a Look

The Crown Prince nodded in satisfaction, then had some clothes and utensils prepared for Song Miqiu's room before leaving quickly with a smile.

The two who were left behind exchanged a glance and then returned to their seats.

Because someone was nearby, Song Miqiu couldn't put the items into the system, so she could only look up at Yu Huailin.

"I still have some things to take care of."

"No delivery."

The two exchanged a knowing glance, then looked away and went to their respective seats.

Once the noise outside had subsided, Song Miqiu still felt something was amiss, so she staggered out the door with all her belongings.

It seemed that because of her actions today, no one stopped her from going out.

After successfully entering a teahouse, Song Miqiu found a corner out of sight of the window and patted the treasure hidden in her bosom.

The next moment, everything except the hairpin appeared in the system.

"Identification".

Should all samples be tested?

Is that even a question?

Song Miqiu rolled her eyes at the not-so-intelligent system before pressing confirm.

Although there aren't many items, they still need to be checked in a few moments, so naturally it will take some time.

Fortunately, she wasn't in a hurry. She turned her gaze back to the storyteller who was already standing directly in front of her, and ordered some tea and snacks to enjoy.

"Appraisal complete. Quality is top grade. Price..."

Looking at the zero at the end, Song Miqiu couldn't help but smile.

But just as she was about to figure out how to deliver the money to Qiu Tianlei and the others, a crisp sound of a gavel striking the court startled everyone.

He quickly refocused his attention and realized that many people were looking at him.

Remembering being pelted with stones in the refugee camp, Song Miqiu immediately got up and left the teahouse before her identity was discovered.

But just as she was about to go back and deliver the money to the two of them, she realized that she had not taken the gold and silver valuables out of the mansion.

Realizing that they certainly didn't have enough money for the room fees, they could only pull out one or two of the cheapest items from the system and go into the pawnshop.

"Damn it."

"okay."

When the boss saw what Song Miqiu took out, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and he waved his hand in front of her for a long time.

If the price was too low, she wanted to try another pawnshop, but seeing the fearless look on the pawnshop owner's face, she knew that there couldn't be a higher price elsewhere.

Just as he was briefly considering whether to go back to his residence to get the money or sell the items at a low price, the items were pushed back towards him.

"This is indeed a rare find, but at this time it is not as valuable as food."

"Even if you raise it another ten percent, it's still a dead end."

The boss would never refuse, and immediately took out a silver note and stuffed it into Song Miqiu's hand, then told the waiter to close the door and turn away customers.

Asked to leave the shop, she watched the store quickly close, then calmly turned and walked towards the city lord's mansion.

I had just arrived at the door when I saw the person I was looking for.

"Need my help?"

"I haven't seen my child these past few days, and I want to go back home."

Knowing that Song Miqiu had been paying attention to them, Yu Huailin nodded, but did not agree directly. Instead, she turned and walked towards her own courtyard.

If she had known she would have to go back, she would never have risked everything!

But she had no choice but to follow him back inside. She was about to throw someone to help her without any hesitation when she saw a face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"If you want my help, how can you do it without some compensation?"

"Take the things out of the box. I'll give you half a box, that should be enough, right? After all, I can just find someone outside to pretend to be me, I don't even need half."

Yu Huailin clearly wanted to say something more, but Song Miqiu didn't want to be the one to take the fall. He quickly climbed up the roof beam where he usually came down, found the exit, and slipped out.

Despite her haste, she still made sure to restore the roof to its original state.

When Yu Huailin looked away and saw the empty house in front of him, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly covered it up with a cup of tea.

"Don't let anyone find her."

Although he said it to thin air, a slight noise came from the roof the next moment.

Having arrived near the inn, Song Miqiu, seeing the unfamiliar passersby, couldn't help but slow down and start buying various things outside.

When she entered the room, her hands were already occupied by various things.

"Mother? You're finally back. If that guy hadn't said you'd found an easy job and wouldn't be back for the time being, I would have run to the city lord's mansion to report to the authorities long ago."

"Do you think I'm like you, so impulsive and reckless?"

Song Miqiu raised her hand and pushed Qiu Tianlei, who was standing next to her and about to reach out, aside, and then placed the things she had bought in front of the mother and her two children.

"Grandma, we miss you so much."

“You’re just missing your mother, you’re clearly eyeing her candy. You’re getting more and more ill-mannered. Let’s see how your father disciplines you.”

Upon hearing this, Qiu Xiaobai and the other two children immediately hid behind Song Miqiu, only revealing their small eyes as they eagerly watched what lay ahead.

Noticing the appearance of the two children, she sighed again and reached out to grab Qiu Tianlei's wrist.

He knew that using force would hurt his mother, so he immediately withdrew his strength and glared fiercely at the two unruly children.

"They're still young, it's a good thing they love to eat. You'll be worried when they stop eating one day."

"I came out in a bit of a hurry today, go downstairs and get some food to bring up."

Upon hearing Song Miqiu's words, Qiu Tianlei didn't dare to pause for a moment. He took three steps at a time and ran out without even taking the money.

When Song Miqiu heard his rough voice from downstairs, she turned her gaze to Tian Shi, who had lost a lot of weight in just a few days.

"You've had a tough time these past few days."

"It's alright, as long as the child is full."

As soon as she finished speaking, the two little ones seemed to smell the aroma of the food she had brought back. They clutched their stomachs and looked at the packages with wide, cautious eyes.

Song Miqiu said nothing and immediately took out three still-warm sweet sesame cakes and stuffed them into the hands of the three people.

"There are other things inside; take them out and eat them when you're hungry."

The two children, seeing the food, forgot everything else and immediately started biting. Only Tian Yumei, with slightly red eyes, cautiously looked at the door that had just been opened.

Knowing what she was worried about, Song Miqiu slipped the remaining silver notes from her bosom into her hand.

Unexpectedly, her mother-in-law could earn such a large sum of money by going out to work. Tian Yumei's eyes widened, clearly wanting to say something more, but her mouth was stuffed with a sesame seed cake.

"I know some medicine and cured the illness of our honored guest. This was given to me by that person."

"You use your medical skills? But that doesn't mean you can only treat minor ailments. You don't have that kind of ability, do you...?"

Seeing that Tian Yumei's thoughts were getting more and more skewed, Song Miqiu was about to speak when she saw her rush to the window and forcefully close it.
