My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 1160 - 1166: Seeking Peace and Quiet

"The finals have started!" Tangyuan shouted.

This was the climax of the dragon boat race, and she did not want her mother and godmother to miss it because of a bad woman.

Everyone’s attention was on the dragon boats.

From the start, the No.6 Dragon Boat and the No.16 Dragon Boat were neck and neck, occasionally one slightly in the lead, but the other would quickly catch up.

This tense state made everyone’s hearts fluctuate intensely, extremely taxing on the nerves.

Chen Yiling, who hadn’t been taking the competition seriously, clenched her handkerchief. How could she live up to Duo’er’s trust if she lost?

Moreover, it would bring trouble to her best friend because Li Mu’er would surely make a very difficult condition for Duo’er.

Alas, had she known, she would have advised Duo’er not to bet with Li Mu’er.

They were not gentlemen, but they had a conscience and a bottom line, and simply couldn’t play Li Mu’er’s game.

But now it was too late for any regrets, and she could only hope that the rowers would be strong enough.

The No.16 boat took the lead again; this time, the No.6 seemed to lack the stamina to catch up as before.

"You are bound to lose!" Li Mu’er was confident of her victory.

Qin Mingrui said discontentedly, "Bad woman, if you win, there’s no justice in this world!"

"Don’t mind her, let’s cheer for No.6," Tangyuan, dragging a little handsome boy with her, went to the window.

"Go No.6! Go No.6!"

Three kids leaned on the window shouting loudly.

Li Mu’er looked on scornfully, unconcerned even if they were to shout themselves hoarse.

With fifty meters to the finish line, the rowers on the No.6 Dragon Boat suddenly put forth their strength and won the race by less than a meter.

The margin was small, but the win was unquestionable!

"Yay, godmother won!"

"My mother is the best!"

"The bad woman’s nose is all crooked with anger! Serves her right!"

The three kids happily high-fived and jumped around the room celebrating their victory.

Chen Yiling’s mouth curved up at the corner, "Li Mu’er, you lost."

At first, she simply thought of the dockworkers who worked hard day and night to provide for their families, not having an easy life.

Four Taels of Silver would allow their family to live comfortably for a year; they would surely give it their all.

And they did not disappoint her.

Now that the rowers had received the silver, and Qiao Duo’er had won the bet, it was perfect!

Li Mu’er, with a dark face, asked, "Say it, what’s your condition?"

"You can leave now," said Qiao Duo’er, eager to get rid of her.

There were many people watching the dragon boat race, and she wanted to enjoy the view a little longer. If Li Mu’er stayed, it would affect their mood.

This request was simple but enough to make Li Mu’er lose face.

She always thought she was above everyone else, yet she was unceremoniously kicked out.

"Side Concubine Lady, actually you could just scratch your nose to default on the bet,"

Tangyuan helpfully suggested,

Li Mu’er snorted and stormed out with her maid in tow.

"You’re too kind, you know. You should have made her tell us where Long Zhenyi came from," Chen Yiling couldn’t help but complain.

She didn’t believe that child was Prince Liang’s, but without proof, it was like a wild cat scratching at her heart.

But Duo’er had just let such a good opportunity slip away.

"Do you think she would tell the truth? It’s better she leaves early. We’re after some peace,"

Qiao Duo was also helpless; Li Mu’er was truly malicious. If the demand was excessive, she would just default.

Li Mu’er nodded, "I truly hope that woman disappears from my sight soon."

Otherwise, her constant trouble gave Mo’er a headache.
