Mo Qingcheng nearly choked on her tea: "Qing'er..."

"Mother, Momo is so clever, I'll protect my little brother from the shadows with my older brother..." The little girl lowered her eyes. Her gaze flickered slightly; this was the best solution she could think of right now, without a doubt.

Bai Ziming inwardly scoffed, but outwardly remained nonchalant: "Third sister, it would be more fun if the two of us were kidnapped together..."

Mu Wanqing: "..."

You brat, how dare you try to mess with me? Do you even know what it feels like to provoke a little witch like that?

The next second, Shangguan Yunxi and the others clapped and cheered.

“Mother, Momo is absolutely right.”

"Qing'er should go." Shangguan Yichen's icy voice drifted over, carrying an irrefutable aura.

"Third Sister is mighty!" Mu Yunchuan said slowly, his words carrying the weight of death.

Mu Wanqing: "..."

Is this the legendary case of "lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot"?

"Qing'er, you are capable of shouldering great responsibilities!" Mo Qingcheng gave a thumbs up, her eyes full of affection.

Mu Wanqing wanted to cry but couldn't, swallowing her anger and saying, "Mother, I have no motivation..."

"Mommy will give you an extra meal tonight."

"Give them special treatment!"

"Add another dish!"

Five!

Three!

"make a deal!"

The group exchanged bewildered glances. Could negotiations really be conducted like this? Were we just too... ignorant?

Once the matter was settled, Mo Qingcheng made further arrangements, and she and Mo Qingyang stayed in place to oversee the preparation of the antidote.

A third of the melons in the melon patch were ruined. There was no antidote; not only were they all destroyed, but the reputation that had been painstakingly built up would also crumble instantly…

I can just pack up and leave, but what about the children and Yue'er?

What Mo Qingcheng was worried about was exactly what Old Man Bai and the others were worried about.

A hint of interest flashed in Mu Shen's eyes: "Girl, have you encountered something interesting?"

"Hey, this is really fun. Uncle, are you interested?" Mo Qingcheng, like a sly little fox, was digging a pit for Mu Shenyi.

"I won't fall for that! Humph! You brat..."

Mo Qingcheng curled her lip: "Who would believe this nonsense?"

Mu Shen opened his mouth, then silently swallowed his words. Oh well, as long as the girl is happy.

Mo Qingcheng blinked: "Qing'er, how about Mother cooks a new dish tomorrow?"

"Okay, Mother, it belongs only to Qing'er?"

"no!"

"Mother..."

"You brat, are you doing this on purpose?" Mu Shen was so angry that he blew his beard. The brat was definitely doing it on purpose.

Mo Qingcheng raised an eyebrow, "It's on purpose, hehe, you won't believe me until you fall into the trap?"

Mu Shenyi swallowed hard and said spinelessly, "Make one more!"

"Okay..."

Everyone: "..."

They say old ginger is spicier, but that's definitely a lie...

The next day, Mu Wanqing took Bai Ziming for a stroll around the village, chatting idly while keeping an eye on their surroundings.

Shangguan Yunxi followed for two days, and finding nothing unusual, she turned back home and refused to follow her out again.

Bai Ziming pouted: "Third sister, does second sister know what she did wrong?"

Mu Wanqing was a little confused, and after a moment of stunned silence, she asked, "What do you mean by that, Mo Mo?"

"Oh dear, Third Sister, Second Sister is always hovering around in front of me, she's driving everyone away..." Bai Ziming's face was full of frost, her ears twitched slightly, and she spouted a bunch of nonsense.

Mu Wanqing's lips twitched: "Ahem... Fifth Brother is right, Third Sister..."

Before he could finish speaking, a strong gust of wind swept in.

Bai Zimo burst into tears: "Mother, bad people bit me!"

The masked man in black was startled by Bai Zimo's sudden action and paused slightly.

Mu Wanqing gave a wicked smile: "Big brother, you're late... Qing'er has a big gift for you, take it and you're welcome!"

The man in black was bewildered in the wind. Why am I always the one who gets hurt?
