Shangguan Yichen's lips twitched. Was his mother trying to make empty promises to him?

Seeing the boy's disbelieving look, Mo Qingcheng chuckled, "Big brother... Mommy's going to tell you..."

A look of surprise flashed across Shangguan Yichen's face, and he asked with a hint of doubt, "Mother, is what you said true?"

“Real! More real than pearls!” Mo Qingcheng murmured, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.

After examining it closely, Shangguan Yichen was filled with emotion. The young boy perked up and bent down to observe it more closely. Suddenly, he frowned and asked, "Mother, look! What is this?"

Mo Qingcheng stepped forward and saw tiny white dots on the back of the rice leaves.

“This…” An unnamed rage rose in Mo Qingcheng’s beautiful eyes: “This is absolutely outrageous!”

"Mother, someone poisoned us?" Shangguan Yichen's little face turned frosty.

Mo Qingcheng's lips curled into a smile, but the smile in her eyes didn't reach her eyes: "Boss, remember, you shouldn't have the heart to harm others, but you can't be without the heart to guard against others."

A slightly sarcastic old face flashed through Shangguan Yichen's mind: "Mother, is it her?"

"Hmm... Mother was careless..." Mo Qingcheng's eyes were somewhat cold. She had been a little busy these past two days and had forgotten about the hand in the darkness...

Shangguan Yichen clenched his fists: "Mother, I'll go and take care of him..."

"Wait... Boss, calm down, this matter needs to be discussed carefully."

Shangguan Yichen stopped, opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.

Mo Qingcheng patted the young boy on the shoulder: "Let's go, we can talk about it when we get back..."

Shangguan Yichen gave a faint "hmm," reverting to his usual cold demeanor.

"Boss, has anyone ever told you that you have a beautiful smile?"

"..." Shangguan Yichen was speechless. Mother... really thinks he's a three-year-old child?

The mother and son returned home, just as the children came home from school and surrounded Mo Qingcheng.

"Mommy, have you missed Momo?" Bai Zimo hugged Mo Qingcheng's leg and acted coquettishly, instantly becoming her confidante.

Mo Qingcheng sighed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "This brat, he's gone too far!"

At dinner time, Bai Yueniang and the others learned that their rice had been poisoned, and they were so angry that they almost threw down their chopsticks.

"Sister Mo, who is so wicked?" Bai Yueniang, who is usually good-tempered, almost swore.

Old Man Bai gave his dim-witted daughter a wink, but to his surprise, she was too oblivious and not only didn't see his look, but also said something shocking.

"Dad, is your eye twitching?"

Old Man Bai: "..."

A drafty, oversized cotton-padded coat is no fun at all...

snort!

Bai Yueniang looked at her father with a puzzled expression: "Father, do you miss your stepmother?"

"Pfft!" Old Man Bai almost spat a mouthful of blood onto Bai Yueniang's face.

Liu Cuihua's face turned somewhat pale: "Madam Mo, it's all my fault for ruining your plans..."

"Sister-in-law, don't always take it upon yourself to do things. Some people... don't even know how to be grateful." How could Mo Qingcheng not know what Liu Cuihua was thinking?

To be honest, you can't really blame Sister-in-law Cuihua for this; it's just human nature to be greedy.

“But… Madam Mo… I’m feeling uneasy, how could that old hag… dare to do that?” Liu Cuihua’s face flushed with anger.

Mo Qingcheng chuckled: "Sister-in-law, calm down and just wait and see the show..."

Liu Cuihua looked on in astonishment. Watching...watching a play?

Liu Cuihua slapped her forehead, her eyes lighting up: "Lady Mo, do you have a solution?"

"without……"

"Cough cough..." Liu Cuihua almost choked on her own saliva: "Madam Mo, you..."

"Sister-in-law, come here..."
