Chapter 95: Shattered Silver Child

  At this time, the osmanthus also quickly squatted down, fortunately her figure was small enough, so she hid her whole body in the shadow under the window.

  It was only a matter of a few breaths before and after, Chu Yan Nian suddenly discovered that outside the window hidden in the Osmanthus fragrans stood a dark figure.

  That black shadow seemed to be looking for something, crouching by the window for a good half day, but in the end it only came up with a very clear sound of spitting, and then left.

  Not long after, the door of Chu Lishi's house was opened and closed again.

  "What's going on with you, Osmanthus?" Chu Yan knew that there was no one outside at this time, so he sat up and called out to Osmanthus to get up too.

  "Brother, actually..." Guihua stood up and walked towards Chu Yan's bed with her shoes on, but at this moment, the sound of putting on shoes came from their parents' room.

  "Oh no, it must be my mother who woke up!" Guihua secretly cried out in dismay and got up to rush back to her own room. But before she could even stand up straight, Madam Mo's voice had already carried over, "Is that Guihua outside?"

  Chu Yan Nian took a look and saw that his mother had woken up, so he lit the lantern he had just put on the ground again. The small kitchen suddenly became brighter.

  When Mo Shi put on her clothes and appeared in the small kitchen, Gui Hua had already gotten up to greet her, "Hehe, mom!"

  Looking at the Osmanthus fragrans, Mo saw a sly smile on its face and immediately understood that this child must have done something wrong.

  Mo looked at the osmanthus flowers, then at Chu Yan Nian who was wearing a cloak like the osmanthus flowers, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly. She wanted to say something, but the words that came out were: "What are you two doing sneaking around in the middle of the night?"

  Chu Yan Nian was also stunned by Mo Shi's words, "Mother, I just accompanied our family's Gui Hua to dig up treasure."

  "Digging treasure?" Mo's confusion deepened. "You two are awake in the middle of the night, digging what treasure?"

  Osmanthus fragrans had not planned to tell the family about hiding silver now, but since brother and mother happened to meet, they would no longer hide it themselves. Anyway, as long as they didn't let their straight father know, keeping secrets was not difficult.

  "Sister, brother, there's something I want to tell you both, but can you keep it a secret for me first?" Just as Gui Hua was about to reach out and grab Mo Shi's hand, she was suddenly stopped by Chu Yan Nian.

  "Osmanthus, go wash your hands first!"

  The smell that was just covered by the little stinker's hand still seemed to be lingering on the tip of her nose, and Chuyan Nian didn't want his own mother's hands to have that same smell.

  Only after being reminded did Gui Hua react, sticking out her tongue at Chu Yan Nian before hastily turning around to wash her hands.

  Waiting for Guihua to wash her hands, Mo Shi had also been helped by Chu Yan Nian to sit on the bed board. Both of them looked at Guihua with puzzled eyes.

  Osmanthus smiled somewhat embarrassedly and then took out the purse hidden in her clothes.

  "Mother, this pouch is borrowed, I have to return it later. But the silver in this pouch is what I earned. Take a look, how much silver is here? Is it enough for us to start anew after we divide the family property?" Guifang said as she opened the pouch and poured all the loose silver coins onto Chuyan's bedboard.

  With a few crisp sounds, Mo Shi and Chu Yan Nian were stunned there, their eyes fixed on the broken silver pieces on the bed.
