Period drama: Old Cao's carefree life

Chapter 193 Moving
Kawakami Yoshihisa fled in a disheveled state. Cao Wei Da stared at his retreating figure for a moment, a cold smile playing on his lips.

I may not beat you to death in public, but that doesn't mean I'll let you off easy!

They became enemies openly, and everyone around them could see it clearly. If something were to happen to him in the near future, even a fool would suspect him.

But it's okay. Revenge isn't about killing people. Sometimes, living is more painful than dying!
You dare to lay a finger on my woman? I'll make sure your family is destroyed, or I'm not Cao Weida!

"Master, let's go in." Mo He said with delight in her eyes, her gaze fixed on Cao Weida, her heart filled with immense joy.

The image of the old man standing up for her and beating up the Japanese devils was deeply etched in her mind, giving her an overwhelming sense of security.

"Sir, let me introduce you. This is our neighbor next door, Aunt Zhang."

Cao Weida smiled and nodded: "Hello Aunt Zhang, thank you for speaking up for my Mohe just now."

His ears were more sensitive than most people's, and he overheard snippets of their conversation. As a result, he initially had a very good impression of Aunt Zhang next door.

"Hey, it's nothing, we're neighbors, I can't just stand by and watch Mohe get bullied by the Japanese."

"But I'm not trying to criticize you, Mr. Cao, but what you did wasn't very ethical," Aunt Zhang from next door said with a hint of reproach. "Mo He is a good girl. You just married her and then disappeared for three days. We can't do that. What will outsiders think?"

Knowing he was in the wrong, Cao Weida said awkwardly, "Aunt Zhang, please forgive me. I was mainly held up by some things these past two days. I just finished up and came over immediately."

Aunt Zhang remained noncommittal, but didn't say anything more. After all, it was someone else's family matter, and she couldn't presume to interfere.

Furthermore, he was actually somewhat intimidated by Cao Weida. It was one thing to call those patrolmen "stinky-footed patrolmen" and "black-skinned dogs" behind their backs, but he wouldn't dare lend them their forms in front of a patrol officer.

"Now that you're back, Mr. Cao, I'll head back now."

"Take care, Aunt Zhang."

After seeing off their neighbor, Aunt Zhang, Cao Weida led Mo He into the house, asking as they walked, "What's the situation with that little Japanese devil?"

Mo He didn't hide anything and recounted what had happened.

Upon hearing this, Cao Weida's anger flared up again. "Damn it, a little Japanese devil dares to bully my woman! Don't worry, Mohe, I'll definitely kill him in the next few days to avenge you!"

Mo He was startled and quickly said, "Master, don't talk nonsense! If we kill him, we won't be able to escape either!"

"I think after today's beating, he definitely won't dare to bother me again. Let's not cause any more trouble."

Although she was furious and wanted to teach that damned Japanese devil a lesson, she was still very angry.

But circumstances are beyond our control, and no matter how angry we are, we can only suppress it.

Who can blame us when China is in a weak position?

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I won't deal with him so roughly. Just you wait, in less than half a month, I'll definitely teach him a lesson!"

"You've already come up with a solution? What is it?" Mo He asked curiously, her two obsidian-like eyes blinking rapidly.

Cao Weida gently pinched her nose and smiled mysteriously: "I won't tell you for now, just wait and see, I'll definitely help you get revenge."

"Hmph~ Fine, don't tell me then, I don't want to know anyway." Mo He proudly stuck out her neck, revealing her jade-like neck, but she couldn't help but smile. This feeling of being protected and cared for, having a strong backer to stand up for her, was something she had never experienced before in her life.

To be honest, she was somewhat glad that she had agreed to marry the old man as her brother had suggested.

Her brother is right, the old man is a man worthy of trust!
Her slightly arrogant demeanor made Cao Weida smile. He put his arm around her slender waist and said, "I came here today for two reasons: first, to keep you company, and second, to talk to you about moving. We were originally planning to move tomorrow or the day after, but since this happened today, it's better to move sooner rather than later. Let's move today."

"Huh? Moving?" Mo He was a little surprised. "Where to?" "Move to Sesame Alley. It's a two-courtyard house with plenty of rooms. Besides, you get bored living alone. You can chat and play cards with them to relieve your boredom."

Mo He's mind raced after hearing this. She looked up and stared directly into his eyes: "Master, there must be more to it than that, right?"

Tsk, it's definitely not good for women to be too smart; they're not so easy to fool.
He pinched her nose and said indulgently, "You're so smart, I won't hide it from you, there really is another reason."

"Although I am now quite well-connected in Beiping, I have offended quite a few people and affected their interests, whether intentionally or unintentionally."

"I'm not afraid of them trying to harm me, but I'm afraid that some people will be so ruthless as to target you."

He wrapped his arms around her slender waist and said softly, "I used to be carefree and had no worries, but now that I have you, you are my weakness."

“If you live too far apart, the guard force will be scattered. So I was thinking of bringing you all together. This way, you can not only keep each other company, but I can also ensure your safety to the greatest extent. What do you think?”

Mo He gazed up at him for a long time, her eyes gradually becoming rippled. Then she pulled him into the room, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him on the lips.

Cao Weida opened his eyes wide. Was I just forcibly kissed?
Oh, it's just my concubine. Oh, then it's alright.

Then, his hands began to wander restlessly, as if using GPS to occupy two high points.

"Hmm~~"

Mo He let out a muffled groan, then became even more dazed.

It wasn't until much later, when Mo He's clothes were completely wrinkled, that she finally pushed him away, panting as she straightened her clothes, giving him a glare with a flushed face.
"We were supposed to move today, otherwise it will get dark."

Cao Wei grinned and sniffed his hands, making Mo He blush and playfully scold him. She then pushed and pulled him into the bedroom to start tidying up.

"You don't need to bring this or that. Just bring your personal and intimate items."

"I will arrange for someone to come and pack up the rest tomorrow. They have all the daily necessities they need."

All the necessary items were packed together in a single leather suitcase, which Cao Weida could easily lift with one hand.

As Cao Weida left the room, he asked the old nanny, "Granny Xue, I'm moving to Sesame Alley. Would it be convenient for you to work there?"

"If it's inconvenient, I can pay you this month's salary, calculated on a monthly basis."

“Master, I’m willing. Please leave an address. Once everything here is settled, I’ll go over tomorrow to serve the Third Young Mistress.”

Granny Xue readily agreed. Not only was the pay good, but the young mistress was also kind-hearted. Naturally, she couldn't bear to give up such a good job.

"Alright, then thank you for your hard work, Granny Xue."

Granny Xue was a woman in her forties. She looked quite honest and kind, and her personality reflected that. She was not only steady but also quick and efficient.

While they were in the room, he had already asked Mo He, and she seemed quite satisfied with the nanny.

Since Mo He was satisfied, there was no need for him to change it.

"Mohe, let's go."

"Okay." Mo He smiled gently and placed her hand in his palm.

As she left, she couldn't help but wonder if living with her other sisters would lead to endless infighting, just like in the stories.
She felt a little uneasy; having grown up in poverty, she had never experienced anything like this before.
