Mo Qingcheng locked herself in her small study, scribbling and drawing on paper. Mu Wanqing sneaked into the alchemy room, the little girl covering her mouth with her hands, giggling. She didn't notice, didn't notice, didn't notice.

"Qing'er, why are you here again?" Shangguan Yunxi stood backlit, huffing and puffing.

Mu Wanqing rolled her eyes: "Second sister, how come you have so much free time?"

Shangguan Yunxi laughed in exasperation: "Qing'er, be careful not to cause trouble for your mother. I wonder how many people are watching your mother and want to do something bad?"

"Second sister, let those trash come over, Qing'er will give them a little gift..." The little girl raised her eyebrows mischievously, smiling innocently.

Shangguan Yunxi rolled her eyes: "Whatever makes you happy. If you don't leave, I won't leave either."

"Oh..." Mu Wanqing didn't even look up, her hands quickly selecting medicinal herbs.

Shangguan Yunxi: "..."

What a waste of breath?

"Second Miss, Third Miss, may I come in?" A weak voice came from outside the door. It was Sun Yunxiang, a maid from Sun Chuyuan's household.

Mu Wanqing's eyes lit up: "Xiangxiang, come in quickly."

Shangguan Yunxi's lips twitched. "Fragrant?"

Sun Yunxiang tiptoed in, pushing open the door: "Third Miss, the medicine you requested..." the medicinal herbs...

Shangguan Yunxi remained silent, her dark eyes fixed on Sun Yunxiang. The little girl was terrified, yet she clutched the herbs tightly in her hand.

Mu Wanqing pulled Sun Yunxiang to her side and looked up, "Second sister, let's go see eldest brother..."

Shangguan Yunxi was utterly defeated. She turned and left, slamming the door shut in a huff. From inside came Mu Wanqing's hearty laughter...

As dinnertime approached, Mo Qingcheng's design was nearing completion. Bai Yueniang had the children sit together, repeating the table manners while patiently waiting.

Bai Ziming pouted, patting her flat little tummy, looking utterly aggrieved. Bai Yunfei and Mu Wanqing were secretly delighted. Mu Wanqing sighed softly, "Oh dear, has Mother forgotten about us?"

Half an hour later, Mo Qingcheng pushed open the door and saw the scene before her. Her heart warmed: "Yue'er, the children are growing, so you don't need to wait for me next time..."

Bai Yueniang: "..."

What a waste of my sister's good intentions, humph!

"Mommy, can we eat now? Momo is starving..." Bai Zimo always loves to whine and is the most aggrieved one.

Mo Qingcheng was speechless: "Eat, eat, eat! Mom will add an extra dish for you at noon tomorrow."

The children cheered immediately, and Bai Yueniang smiled and said, "Sister Mo, then you can come out later next time."

"..." Mo Qingcheng, filled with remorse, thought, "Whatever makes you happy, I'm speechless."

Mu Yunchuan, who had been largely unnoticed, spoke up with interest: "Mother, can I see the blueprints you designed?"

"Okay!" Mo Qingcheng nodded. The little guy is smart and very interested in design. We can try to nurture his talent.

Mu Yunchuan chuckled contentedly, his dark eyes sparkling. Mo Qingchen suddenly realized that she hadn't paid enough attention to this son and felt a little guilty.

Bai Ziming pursed his lips and muttered under his breath, "Fourth Brother wants to steal Mother?"

snort!

Nobody can have it...

Li Yunfang's three families squeezed together temporarily, the atmosphere was harmonious, and looking at the food on the table, they were filled with emotion.

Li Changsheng's wife is a chatterbox. She is silent when doing things, afraid of making mistakes, but she instantly comes back to life at the dinner table.

"Master, do you think Madam might choose one of our daughters to be the personal maid of one of the young ladies?"

“Sister-in-law, let’s just do our jobs properly. Everything will be arranged by Madam. Don’t think about things that don’t belong to us.” Sun Chuyuan’s wife quickly shook her head: “Madam is very shrewd. You can’t hide your little thoughts from her.”

“Yes, sister-in-law, stop thinking about all sorts of things all day long…” Li Yunfang’s wife nodded in agreement.

The Changsheng family member pouted and said, "Sisters-in-law, what do you mean by this? Can't we even think about it?"
