Chapter 035: Recognizing a Distant Relative
It turned out that Mo Hongtao was greedy for the soup in Sun Lingzhu's bowl and insisted on drinking it. Sun Lingzhu was thinking of her son and refused. As a result, Mo Hongtao sprinkled a handful of sand into Sun Lingzhu's soup bowl.
Wow, you learn pretty fast.
"You're not going to beat him for this? This child will be ruined in the future." Feng Aoqing's voice was neither loud nor soft, but Mo Zhengqi heard it.
Mo Zhengqi's face was gloomy. He grabbed his son and slapped him twice on the buttocks.
"Since the eldest son has been taught like that, the second son will certainly not be much better." Chen Yilan snorted coldly.
"Your son is so good! Your son sent us all here to exile! My son is just a child!" When Qiao Yuegui heard everyone talking about her son, she wanted to protect him.
"Qiao Yuegui! You are a concubine and yet you have such a loud voice. Are you the one who makes the decisions in the second house now?" Chen Yilan hasn't said much these days and is not as noisy as before.
As soon as these words were spoken, Fang Nianqiao couldn't stand it anymore. She threw Rui'er in her arms to Feng Aoqing who was watching the fight, walked up and slapped Qiao Yuegui in the face, then picked up a piece of firewood on the ground and started beating Mo Hongtao.
"You're twelve years old and you don't know what you're talking about! You're his uncle, don't you know? Do you want to starve your nephew to death?! You bastard!"
Feng Aoqing coaxed Rui'er who was crying loudly and quickly retreated, otherwise it would be no fun if he got hit with a stick.
Sun Lingzhu followed out with tears in her eyes, holding the bowl and started drinking the soup in the bowl.
"Hey, don't drink anymore. I'll serve you more. There's some left for Xingbao and Yuebao." Feng Aoqing hurriedly stopped him.
"How can you snatch the sand from a child's mouth? The sand is sinking. You only need to drink a few sips. Don't waste it."
Sun Lingzhu understood that this fish soup was the best for promoting milk secretion. After eating it now, it was unknown when the next meal would be available, so every sip counted.
Feng Aoqing looked around and handed Rui'er in her hand to An Jinge behind her. An Jinge didn't intend to take it. She used light skills to jump away, as if she had encountered a monster.
"You almost fell! Why are you hiding?"
"Please forgive me, I am most afraid of children, especially soft ones like this!" Every cell in An Jinge's body was resisting.
"How cute! So soft, oh! My Rui'er is so well-behaved, he stops crying as soon as his aunt holds him." Feng Aoqing teased Rui'er.
Jing Tao understood what Feng Aoqing meant, and brought the reserved fish soup to Sun Lingzhu, emptying her bowl.
Sun Lingzhu drank the fish soup with tears.
Mo Beiyuan didn't care when the second wife fought with the other wife, he just watched his two children eat.
After taking a bite, the two watched their uncle being beaten with great interest. Although they did not dare to speak, they exchanged glances and expressions.
“Ouch, that hurts!”
"You're crying, it should hurt."
"Fortunately, my mother doesn't hit me, and my father doesn't hit me either."
"If you don't behave, I'll beat you!"
"Beat you!"
Unable to win the argument, Yuebao raised his hands.
Xingbao reacted quickly and immediately raised his hand to fight back.
Mo Beiyuan held their hands and almost died of laughter.
"When you do bad things behind Jing Tao's back, is it enough to just look at each other like this?"
The two children nodded while suppressing their laughter.
Twins are different from ordinary siblings.
Mo Beiyuan did not dislike them because they were the original owner's children, and he would bring gifts every time he returned home.
It's just that he has a cold personality, and he rarely has intimate exchanges like this, such as kissing, hugging and lifting up.
While they were making a fuss, Mo Shuyuan took her bowl and walked to the cave entrance and waved to Qin Mu.
Qin Mu immediately understood and walked towards her.
When Mo Shuyuan saw him coming, she hurriedly walked further away from the crowd to wait for him.
"Miss Mo, what's wrong?" Qin Mu followed.
"Here." Mo Shuyuan opened her sleeves, and Qin Mu saw a bowl of fish soup with a pancake soaked in it. It had become soft and looked very delicious.
"Give me?"
"Well, you gave me the porridge, but you're still hungry!"
Before, the Mo family had not eaten. When Qin Mu found out, he called her aside and gave his porridge to Mo Shuyuan.
"There's not much porridge, you eat it! I can handle it." Qin Mu declined.
"Eat it quickly! We have more." Mo Shuyuan had just looked at it and knew that this bowl was not a big deal.
"Is there really more?" Qin Mu asked seriously, "If you have to starve, then I would rather be the one starving."
Mo Shuyuan smiled shyly and nodded heavily: "It's true, don't worry."
Qin Mu then took the bowl and began to eat voraciously.
"Does it smell good?" Mo Shuyuan didn't leave immediately, but stayed with him.
"It smells so good!" Qin Mu replied with a smile, "The master's wife's cooking skills are really good."
When Feng Aoqing was mentioned, the smile on Mo Shuyuan's face disappeared.
"She bullies me because she can find some food, but I'm soft-hearted and my brother takes her side!" Mo Shuyuan felt very tired when she thought about having to wash the dishes soon.
"Now, we are lucky to have enough to eat. You still have to thank her. When you... marry into another family in the future, you will no longer be under her control." Qin Mu said softly.
"We... heard that I don't know if my brother can protect me." Thinking of the future, Mo Shuyuan became sad again. She also heard about the fate of exiled female prisoners.
"Don't worry, I'm here!" Qin Mu promised.
Mo Shuyuan took Qin Mu's clean bowl and came back.
She wanted to serve herself another bowl, but Feng Aoqing held the spoon down and said, "If you give yours to others, you will go hungry!"
Just now he was complaining that he was slow in delivering the fish, but now he delivers it very quickly.
"Feng Aoqing, you!"
"If I borrow flowers to offer to Buddha, then someone has to know that these flowers are mine!"
"He is! He is a relative of our Mo family!"
"Which relative?" Mo Beiyuan asked.
At this time, Qin Mu came over and saluted the two of them: "Master Mo, Madam Master, don't blame the Third Miss, blame me if you want to."
He also revealed his identity and walked up to Qin Lancui and knelt down to pay his respects.
"Whose child is this? Why is he so polite?" Qin Lancui didn't recognize him, so she asked.
"Aunt, my name is Qin Mu. My grandfather is Qin Hongsheng, and my father is... Qin Xiang."
"Ah! So it's that group! I know, you've suffered so much, why did you only come to recognize me today? So we can take better care of you!"
My grandmother's family is the main branch of the Qin family, and the family is very large. Qin Hongsheng can actually only be considered a member of the same clan, and is not a blood relative.
"Grandson doesn't dare."
"Just call me grandma and we'll be family." Qin Lancui helped him up.
The meal was not given in vain, and Mo Shuyuan even received praise from her grandmother.
The farce ended with Qiao Yuegui trying to jump into the pond with Mo Hongtao in her arms.
Everyone packed up and began to rest. It started to rain outside the cave again.
Mo Beiyuan stood in front of the cave with his hands behind his back.
Listening to the wind and watching the rain is such a romantic thing, but to Mo Beiyuan, it is extremely worrying.
There was a lot of rain at the beginning of summer this year. I wonder if the princess had prepared the food he had asked her to prepare before, and whether it had been delivered to various places before the rainy season arrived.
If there is a flood and there is not enough food in the government warehouse, I am afraid there will be starving people everywhere.
But now, these things are no longer what he should consider.
Mo Beiyuan smiled self-deprecatingly and returned to his family to rest.
It was late at night, and when everyone was sleeping soundly, someone quietly got up.
