Chapter 1632: Earning Small Money Quietly
Shi Li looked at Liu's mother's face which suddenly turned pale and forced herself to suppress the corners of her mouth.
It would be so nice for everyone to live their lives in peace. Why do you have to mess with her? What a shame.
Along the way, Liu's mother no longer talked to Shi Li about trivial things. Instead, she looked at her secretly from time to time, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Since she didn't cause trouble, Shi Li just pretended nothing happened and returned to Liu's house as usual.
When passing through the second gate, a nanny from Liu's mother's courtyard came to greet her. The expression on her face was particularly wonderful, but when she saw Shi Li was also there, she seemed to be stunned for a moment.
"What's the matter that requires so much haste?" Mother Liu glanced at the nanny and asked casually.
"No, nothing." The nanny said guiltily, lowering her head and not daring to look at anyone.
Shi Li understood what he meant, and immediately said goodbye to Liu's mother and left.
However, on the way back to his own courtyard, he still asked the maid to check to see if anything strange had happened in the Liu family since he had only been out for a while.
When she returned to her own courtyard, the gatekeeper saw her and came forward to say, "The shop assistant is here to deliver dried apricots. He has been waiting for a long time and said he wants to see you."
Shi Li raised her eyebrows in surprise. When she walked to the front hall, she saw Yu Mo standing respectfully in a corner. He raised his head and called her "Boss".
He seemed a little different today than usual.
Shi Li nodded and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
"I am very grateful for your care these days. After today, I will go on a long journey, so I came here to say goodbye to you. When I come back, I will thank you again."
Yu Mo's tone of voice sounded normal, but he couldn't help but glance at Shi Li secretly.
Shi Li didn't expect that he was here to say goodbye. "You're going on a long journey? The shopkeeper must be very upset."
"The shopkeeper did tell me for a long time that I let him down." Yu Mo did not deny it.
In fact, knowing that he was going to go out and try his luck, the shopkeeper stamped his feet and beat his chest, but at the same time he felt that he should do so, and he was conflicted for a long time.
In the end, he still valued talent and agreed that he should go out and make a name for himself, and then reminded him to come and tell Shi Li.
"After all, the boss treats you well."
The shopkeeper's words hit the mark exactly what Yu Mo wanted, so he brought dried apricots and came to Liu's house again. When he heard that Shi Li had gone out with Liu's mother, he did not leave but waited until now.
Shi Li looked at the handsome young man with a straight back in front of him, and once again felt that he was out of this world. After hesitating for a while, he asked carefully, "I'm sorry to be so presumptuous, but why are you going on this trip so far..."
Yu Mo raised his deep eyes and looked at Shi Li.
Given his personality, he would not easily say anything he was not sure of.
But facing Shi Li, he didn't want to hide it, and said solemnly: "I want to go out and try my luck. I heard that many things in the north can be sold at a good price."
Shi Li thought: As expected...
"Then, I wish you a smooth journey and a successful career soon."
She smiled and gave a sincere blessing, then said, "Wait a moment."
Yu Mo guessed what she wanted to do and opened his mouth subconsciously.
Then the maid brought a silver note worth one thousand taels according to Shi Li's order.
"This is considered my investment. If you make a lot of money in the future, remember to give me dividends." Shi Li handed the banknote to Yu Mo and said solemnly.
"Boss... aren't you afraid that I won't come back?" Yu Mo did not refuse. He held the banknote in his hand, his voice a little hoarse.
Shi Li probably thought what he said was funny, she pursed her lips and smiled with two dimples, "I believe you."
The silver note in his hand suddenly felt heavy.
Yu Mo held it tightly, and instead of bowing his head to thank her as usual, he looked into Shi Li's eyes and said, "Okay, I will never let you down."
He did not stay any longer. He said goodbye to Shi Li and left. After walking out of the Liu family's house, he stopped, looked back at the magnificent gate of the Liu family, and quietly clenched his fingers.
"Miss, I found out."
Shortly after seeing off Yu Mo, the dowry maid walked up to Shi Li with a serious expression and drove out all the servants around her before she spoke.
"What big thing happened?" Shi Li put down the teacup and became a little nervous due to the influence of the maid.
"The one in the west wing might be pregnant."
