Mo Lingchen pushed her hand away: "You're still so despicable."

She knew he had compromised.

Call her despicable or shameless, but all she wants to do with him right now is possess him every moment.

She's about to die anyway, so let her be willful this once!

"Don't be angry, I won't really hurt them, I just want you to spend more time with me."

"Anyway, it's only six months. You'll be free after six months."

"That golden peony isn't anything special. As time goes by, you'll gradually forget about it."

"You will remarry and have children in the future; you have a long life ahead of you."

Jin Mudan knew he was angry, so she shamelessly tried to coax him.

She pulled him onto the bed and gently rubbed his forehead.

Mo Lingchen simply gave up and let her do whatever she wanted.

"By the way, do you read military books in your spare time?"

"Do you have any knowledge of military strategy?"

The man didn't speak, so she reached out and nudged him: "Say something, I'm asking you a question."

Mo Lingchen reluctantly spoke, his voice still icy: "I look at it occasionally."

Do you want to go to war?

The man frowned. What a strange question.

How could a civil official, and even a prince consort, possibly go to war?

The royal family will not allow him to have military power!

"You must never go to war in the future."

"..."

"Get some rest."

Mo Lingchen listened to her inexplicable words and had no intention of paying attention to her at all.

"oh."

She naturally hugged him, and although he resisted, she still instinctively snuggled into his arms.

Mo Lingchen was very uncomfortable at first, his whole body stiff, but after a while his arms became uncomfortable, he simply stopped supporting them and put his arms directly on the woman's slender waist.

Jin Mudan seemed very at ease in his arms and quickly fell asleep.

Mo Lingchen, however, stared at the woman's sleeping profile but couldn't fall asleep.

He still finds it hard to believe that the poisoning incident has been simply dropped.

Does she really not hate him?

Or is she truly so infatuated?

She loved him so much that she wouldn't care about losing her life?

A small courtyard in the east of the city!

Su Yujiao was mixing dumpling filling in the kitchen when she suddenly had a craving for dumplings.

She'll let the children take charge of wrapping the dumplings, while she'll just be in charge of seasoning them.

"Miss, how much dough should I make?"

This was their first time eating dumplings, and Xiao Tao didn't have a clear idea of ​​what to eat.

Since there are many people in the courtyard, making dumplings is quite troublesome, so they usually cook large meals, such as noodles, stews, braised noodles, and rice, which are easier to make.

Even during the Lunar New Year, they only prepared a small amount, just enough for each person to eat a few as a symbolic gesture.

"I'll take care of it. You go and watch the two children."

"yes."

Su Yujiao took the gourd ladle used to scoop noodles from Xiao Tao's hand, and screamed in fright as soon as she put her hand into the noodle vat.

There was a pair of eyes in the flour jar, grinning at her, which terrified her.

Hearing her scream, everyone in the courtyard rushed over, and Lu Ziqian was the first to rush in.

The man pulled her into his arms and asked, "What happened?"

"The flour jar...there's something in the flour jar!"

"I don't know what it is, it's a huge lump."

"Come out." Lu Ziqian pointed his sword at the flour vat, but there was no movement inside.

Lu Ziqian stepped forward and sure enough, there was a plump white ball of dough in the flour jar, which was pupating.

Lu Ziqian was dumbfounded... What is this thing?

He's never seen it before either!

Then the white ball of fluff rolled over, revealing two round eyes that stared back at him.

Then she bared her teeth at him fiercely, which was both terrifying and adorable!

"Madam, the young master is missing!"

Lu Ziqian instantly understood, reached out and pulled the white ball out of the flour jar. The little guy kicked its limbs in mid-air, splashing white flour everywhere.

"Bad daddy, I'll beat you! I'll beat you!"

Su Yujiao was so angry she almost laughed. She had never seen such a mischievous child, who actually crawled into the flour jar to play.

She stepped forward and lightly tapped the little one's chubby bottom a few times, scolding him with a stern face, "An'an, how could you crawl into the flour jar?"

"These noodles are for everyone to eat. You've made them dirty, how are we supposed to eat them?"

The little guy looked at her with teary eyes, his lips trembling, his eyes brimming with tears, his little hands clasped together, and he looked down as if admitting his mistake.

Seeing the child's pitiful state, Su Yujiao couldn't bear to continue disciplining him.

"Take it outside and wash it."

"I'll go."

Lu Ziqian simply picked up the little dumpling and left the kitchen.

During bath time, the little guy was quite restless, splashing around in the water and getting Lu Ziqian soaked.

Seeing that his clothes were all wet, Lu Ziqian simply took off his clothes and got into the bathtub as well.

The bathroom was specially remodeled by Su Yujiao according to the bathrooms of later generations.

The bathroom has a simple shower and bathtub, and the walls and floor are tiled, so it won't get wet.

Although she lived in ancient times, now that she had the means, she still wanted to improve her quality of life as much as possible.

The little guy watched as Lu Ziqian sat in the bathtub, tilted his head to look at him and then at himself, as if he had discovered something.

Lu Ziqian's childhood friend kept staring at a certain part of his body. He didn't feel embarrassed at all; he was just curious about what the kid was looking at.

Could it be that he understands the use of this thing at such a young age?

"Little one, what are you looking at? Isn't Daddy's big?"

When asked that, the little guy pointed with his finger and said in a cute, innocent way, "Daddy is big, baby is small."

Then, pointing to Lu Ziqian's well-developed pectoral muscles, he said, "Daddy is small, Mommy is big."
