Late Summer Room
Xia's mother tugged at Xia Mo's sleeve, urging, "Nannan, don't you have that ability to make things disappear and then reappear?"
Xia Mo nodded obediently, already knowing what her mother was thinking. She wanted to laugh, but also felt a pang of heartache.
"Quickly, let's pack our things. We'll pretend to go shopping for New Year's goods and then leave," Xia's mother said anxiously. "As long as we leave the capital, we can leave this place of trouble!"
really
Xia Mo reached out and took her mother's arm in return, speaking softly, "Mother, all the land under heaven belongs to the king. No matter where we are, it's all the same."
Hearing Xia Mo say this, Xia's mother felt a surge of sadness.
Xia Mo reached out and hugged her mother, murmuring, "I'm sorry... I put you in danger."
If she doesn't stand out, her parents won't have to worry.
"Nonsense, my daughter is a victim too!" Xia's mother couldn't stand Xia Mo blaming herself and retorted.
Summer's End: "..."
Isn't she a victim?
This invading alien world is the real culprit.
“Mother, if we stay in the capital, we will have Third Brother and Prince Jiang to protect us. If we leave the capital, no matter how far Prince Jiang’s influence is, he can’t reach Anping County,” Xia Mo explained softly.
"The countryside is far away. Maybe they'll find it too troublesome and forget about us?" Xia's mother muttered.
Actually, Xia's mother also felt that she couldn't avoid trouble, but she still couldn't help but hold onto a glimmer of hope.
“It’s no use, Mom and Dad. There are some things I can’t say, but everything I do is for our family,” Xia Mo said earnestly.
Revealing about the invasion from another world might actually increase the danger to my parents if they can't keep quiet and the "main brain" from that other world finds out.
Unfortunately, she wasn't deliberately hiding the news; rather, she had no choice but to.
Xia's mother stared blankly at Xia Mo, making Xia Mo's heart tremble. She lowered her head.
My heart leaps with anticipation as summer draws to a close.
“My dear, I believe in you. From today onwards, I will not leave this courtyard. As long as I don’t go out, I think it will reduce some trouble,” Xia’s mother looked up at Xia Moshi with a firm gaze and said, “Don’t be afraid. Your father, mother and brothers will be behind you and protect you.”
A surge of warmth welled up in Xia Mo's heart, and she immediately hugged her mother.
“I know my mother is the best,” Xia Mo said coquettishly.
Having convinced Xia's mother, who most wanted to leave, and with Xia's eldest, second, and third brothers around, Xia Mo didn't need to worry about Xia's father.
When Jiang Feng saw Xia's father again, he discovered that Xia's father had not let Xia's mother go out, but instead planned to go out to buy groceries himself.
In the front garden of Jiangwang Villa—
"Will you...send someone to follow me?" Xia's father knew that Jiang Feng was Huangfu Qian's man. Right now, in the capital, he was anxious, uneasy, and afraid, but the only person he could trust was probably Huangfu Qian.
"Yes," Jiang Feng nodded affirmatively.
"What about my daughter..." He was more worried about his four children than his own safety.
“Miss Xia is like this,” Jiang Feng said, giving a thumbs up. “Unless she is willing, no one can do anything to her.”
Xia's father was surprised by Jiang Feng's evaluation of Xia Mo. His eyes widened, and the image of his daughter Jiao Jiao acting coquettishly flashed through his mind. He still felt that Jiang Feng was exaggerating.
"If possible, please, could you also have someone secretly protect my daughter?" Xia's father said.
Jiang Feng met Xia's father's eyes and was surprised to find that Xia's father genuinely felt that his daughter was weak and needed protection. He simply nodded and said, "Okay."
Xia Mo used her divine sense to take in the entire situation of the house. She saw her father's behavior and felt warm inside. She didn't want her father and the others to know that she was actually quite good at hitting people.

The next day—
Breaking news has emerged in the capital.
"Xia Family Embroidery Shop belongs to the An Family Head!"
"That's not the point. The point is that the Xia family embroidery workshop has developed a water-powered loom that can weave cloth automatically!"
"No wonder, no wonder, no wonder the cloth at Xia Family Cloth Shop is so cheap!"
"Xia Family Cloth Shop, what kind people they are! They've made it possible for ordinary people like us to afford new clothes!"
"A water-powered free-flowing loom... If I could get my hands on that machine, could I also..."
"Isn't the actions of the Anjia Township Lord a case of competing with the people for profit?"
The strange sound had barely begun when someone slapped it down.
"What are you saying? The head of Anjia Township is just a township head, not a high-ranking official. Why is he competing with the people for profit?"
"It depends on what the head of Anjia Township did. Her actions enabled people like us who don't earn much money to buy new clothes."
"Lord Anjia, so you're also skilled in mechanical arts?"
"..."
The news spread by word of mouth among the common people, all about events that occurred at the end of summer. The news reached every household and even the imperial palace.
This time, it wasn't just eight aristocratic families that came to propose marriage to the Xia family; even the wives of officials with titles and ranks went to the Xia family to propose marriage.
They knew very well that a girl skilled in mechanical arts was far more noble than any noblewoman, not to mention that Xia Mo was a general in Jiang Wang's army, whose status was even more extraordinary.
Amidst such glamorous success, Xia Mo's situation aligns with the rule that the more successful the original author is, the more their luck will return. Xia Mo successfully regained ten points of luck.
Driven by fame, profit, and technical expertise, each with their own needs, the Xia Family Embroidery Workshop has attracted the attention of many.
The beauty of late summer lasts only three to five days, and the conversation in the city shifts to something else; nobody talks about her anymore.
At the end of summer, we must quickly reclaim the luck from Li, Zheng, Chen, and Wan; otherwise, it won't work.
She needs to maintain her glamorous image; taking back two points at once like this is still not enough, she finds it too slow.
Targeted recycling is necessary.
The Li family is skilled in mechanical arts, right? Then... let's put some effort into their mechanical arts.
They made it public to let people know that the Xia family's cloth shop had a loom with a kind of mechanical loom.
As expected, the mechanical skills of the Xia family's embroidery workshop attracted the attention of the Li family.
Since the Li family head didn't come, he asked Young Master Li to go to the Jiangwang Villa to visit the current head of the Xia family, Brother Xia.
In the living room of Jiangwang Villa—
Brother Xia met with Young Master Li.
Young Master Li came with sincerity and said, "Our Li family is known for its mechanical skills. These are two important blueprints from our Li family's mechanical arts."
Brother Xia didn't answer, but looked at Young Master Li, waiting for Young Master Li's next words.
"I'm willing to trade these two blueprints for a chance to see a water-powered automatic loom. I wonder if Young Master Xia would be so kind as to grant me this small request?" Young Master Li asked.
Young Master Li was somewhat panicked. He investigated repeatedly, even digging up the grave, and confirmed that the remains of the person who had died earlier were still lying in the coffin!
But... the mission progress is still dropping!
He urgently needed to do something to stabilize the main quest while also accelerating its progress.
"This……"
Brother Xia was wondering if his younger sister would need these two blueprints.
At this moment, Young Master Li was completely unaware that he had delivered himself into Xia Mo's "mouth"!
