Chapter 62: No Good Intentions

The last time Xuan'er wanted to eat it, he asked his mother for it, but his mother was busy and too lazy to cook for him, so he has been thinking about it until now.

Just after entering Xianlai Sect, I discovered that there were green lycopodii leaves planted here, so I simply ordered some dishes.

"You are such an ignorant child."

Zhang Runing glared at his son, then smiled at Chen Lan sheepishly, "Don't pay attention to him, he's just a greedy person."

Now that people have spoken, it would seem unreasonable not to do it.

Chen Lan agreed with a smile, "No problem, since you guys are here, I'll cook for Xuanxuan. You guys wait here, I'll go pick some green hibiscus leaves."

"Let's go together."

Zhang Runing brought her son with her, and the four of them walked towards the wall planted with green osmanthus leaves.

Chen Lan lowered her head to pick it, but then she realized that she couldn't free her hands as she was holding Mo Jiuwei.

"Let me hold him." Zhang Runing stepped forward at the right time and stretched out his hands. "This child is so handsome, it's a good opportunity for me to get close to him."

Chen Lan frowned, not wanting to let go. "Forget it, I'll call some people to help..."

"Don't bother anyone else, just let me do it."

Zhang Runing took Mo Jiuwei without saying anything.

She was also a mother, and she was very skilled at holding a baby, quick and accurate.

Seeing her actions, Chen Lan stopped saying no.

I have already got it, I can’t snatch it back. Besides, no one else can draw the green leaves except me.

Unless Zhang Runing came to pick them, she would stand aside holding the child, but this would be impolite.

So we have to make do with this.

"Then be good, Jiuwei. Senior sister will come to hug you later." Chen Lan said to Mo Jiuwei, then bent down to pick the leaves.

【Okay.】

Mo Jiuwei had no objection.

She was very sensible. Knowing that this person was Chen Lan's relative, she would not make things difficult for Chen Lan.

It’s just a hug, it won’t cost you a piece of flesh.

"Sister Lan, how has your sect been doing these days? Is it still as stagnant as before?"

While Chen Lan was busy, Zhang Runing stood beside her and chatted with her.

"It's a little better now. Everyone in my school is working very hard and everyone wants to live a good life," said Chen Lan.

"Really? That's really good news. I'm happy for you too."

"Mom, look, there's a butterfly!" Xuan'er shouted.

"Where?"

"It's there, purple, do you see it?" Xuan'er hurriedly pulled the corner of his mother's clothes. Zhang Runing was afraid that he would fall, so she followed him quickly.

Chen Lan took a moment to look up and found that they just went to the corner behind her, which was not far away, only about twenty steps away.

She glanced at Mo Jiuwei and found that Zhang Runing was still holding her well and would not hurt her, so she felt relieved.

But in the end, he still said, "Runing, take good care of Jiuwei."

"Got it." Zhang Runing replied quickly.

It takes a lot of effort to pick the green radish leaves. Its tips are very small, and only this part will be more tender and fragrant. If you accidentally pick one or two more leaves below, the taste will be slightly bitter.

Although Green Yun Pastry is said to be crispy, it actually melts in your mouth, and the ingredients used are also good. Even Mo Jiuwei can eat some.

So Chen Lan thought about making it as delicately as possible and letting Jiuwei have a taste.

So when picking, I was very careful, picking only the tender leaves and not picking any of the rest.

At the beginning, every time she picked a few petals, she would look back worriedly, but every time she looked, she saw Zhang Runing holding Mo Jiuwei, while Xuan'er was running there catching butterflies.

Nothing happened, so Chen Lan slowly focused on her work, because if she wanted to do more, she would have to pick more, otherwise there would not be enough juice.

Mo Jiuwei felt disgusted when she was held in his arms.

Although she did not raise any objection due to the overall situation and was carried away obediently, she did not like the mother and child at all.

Especially this Xuan'er, who was obviously a boy, but had a shrill and loud voice, which made her feel very noisy.

She could only endure it in silence and comfort herself in her heart: Don't bother with the naughty kid, he is still young.

Even Chen Lan was afraid of his noise and asked Xuan'er to speak more quietly, but he was like a deaf person and kept shouting when he had to, without any restraint.

[Ah, naughty kids are really annoying. ]

[I'm afraid there won't be another child as well-behaved as me in this world. 】

[That’s right, I can’t expect everyone to be like me. ]

Chen Lan listened and couldn't help but chuckle, thinking that Jiuwei was indeed cute.

She was right, there was no other child as lovely as her in the world.

Yes, there are. My own daughter is one of them.

Chen Lan curled her lips and felt heartbroken when she thought of her daughter, but this heartache was soothed by Mo Jiuwei's presence, and her heart became soft.

"Mom, I want to eat that fruit, please pick it for me!" Xuan'er suddenly shouted.

He was pointing at the green yin fruits on the branches in the corner. Two of them were ripe and pink-green in color, but they were a little high and he couldn't reach them.

"It's a bit high, Mom, try it."

As Zhang Runing spoke, she held Mo Jiuwei in one hand and stretched out the other hand, standing on tiptoe to pick the fruits.

But still can't reach.

"Forget it, it's too high and mom can't reach it." Zhang Runing said, retracting her hand.

Xuan Er was furious, "No, I want it, I want it, pick it for me, quickly!"

When he was in a hurry, he pulled Zhang Runing's clothes down with his hand, and that's not all, he actually grabbed Mo Jiuwei with his other hand!

Mo Jiuwei was now wearing children's clothes, wrapped in a thin blanket. His hand just happened to pull the thin blanket and even pinched a bit of Mo Jiuwei's flesh!

The child didn't know how hard to control his strength, and Mo Jiuwei felt pain immediately and subconsciously let out a cry.

This sound was completely different from her usual cheerful calls. At least no one in Xianlai Sect had ever heard her sound like this.

Chen Lan shuddered and immediately turned her head sharply, and then saw Mo Jiuwei screaming in pain after Xuan'er pulled half of her blanket off her.

[Wow, damn kid, it hurts! ]

[Senior sister, please save me! ]

"Jiuwei! Stop it now!"

Chen Lan dropped all the leaves in her hand, ran over in three or two steps, pushed Xuan'er away, and then took Mo Jiuwei away from Zhang Runing.

She didn't stop in her haste. Even though she didn't use her full strength, it was still something a child couldn't bear.

Xuan'er fell to the ground with a bang. He was stunned at first, and then he started howling loudly.

"Wow, she pushed me! Bad woman, this is a bad woman!"

"Mother, hit her quickly, beat her to death! Wuuuuuu..."

He lay on the ground, rolling around, screaming and jumping up and down in protest.

"Ouch, my darling, get up quickly. Did you fall anywhere? Tell me where it hurts."

Zhang Runing's face changed and he squatted down to check his son's head.
