The silence was so profound you could hear a pin drop; the surroundings were deathly still. The white-clad man's cold gaze swept over Davina.
Davina trembled, her face turning red and blue, and dared not utter a sound. Her life was in their hands, and she had no choice but to submit.
"Get lost!" the man in white said slowly, uttering a single word in a cold voice.
Chaviel stepped forward, helped Davina up, turned and left without looking back.
"Princess, wait... ah..." Dales panicked, but before she could finish speaking, the man in white slapped her hard across the ground, slamming her into a human-shaped pit and burying her...
A white shadow flashed, and the mysterious man vanished without a trace.
Mo Qingcheng smiled slightly and patted Shangguan Yichen on the shoulder: "Not bad!"
The young boy's face was pale, and his clenched fists betrayed his unease.
"Aunt Fang, until we meet again." Mo Qingcheng bid farewell to Aunt Fang and Fang Yidao, and then took Shangguan Yichen's hand as they walked towards the carriage.
Aunt Fang hesitated, opened her mouth as if to speak, and then stopped, seemingly lost in thought.
Liu Cuihua and Li Changgeng were dumbfounded the whole time, more confused than if they were watching a play.
“Mo family girl, we’ve offended the princess, will we…” Liu Cuihua asked cautiously.
Mo Qingcheng chuckled: "Sister-in-law probably doesn't know, that so-called princess is just a princess from a foreign land, there's nothing to be afraid of."
"Oh, oh..." Liu Cuihua nodded repeatedly, seemingly understanding, feeling a wave of lingering fear. It was good that nothing had happened.
Li Changgeng, however, had a completely different opinion: "Lady Mo, won't this cause trouble for the Emperor?"
"Your Majesty? You can't even handle such a small matter? Well then..." Mo Qingcheng didn't care whether Davina was alive or dead; what she was really concerned about was who Yichen's biological father was.
Outside the carriage, the one-eyed man was sullen and extremely depressed.
The fat man hesitated several times, realizing he had nothing to say. The young master's identity was mysterious and had already been exposed; as for the young master's biological father, they had never actually met him...
What should I say if my wife asks about it later? I need an answer urgently!
Leaving aside the question of whether the one-eyed dragon's divine intervention should be explained clearly, let's just talk about Shangguan Yichen, whose small body trembled slightly.
Mo Qingcheng narrowed her eyes, reached out, and ruffled the hair on his forehead: "Don't be afraid, Mother will always be by your side."
The little boy was slightly taken aback, his eyes lowered, his small hands wrapped in the large hands, a warmth that was so precious.
But……
"Everything will be alright with Mother."
As Mo Qingcheng's gentle voice rang in his ears, Shangguan Yichen looked up and met a pair of tender and loving eyes, feeling so captivated he didn't want to come ashore even if he were drowning...
The carriage moved slowly forward and returned to the village, just past Shenshi (3-5 PM).
Bai Yueniang and the children swarmed around her, asking all sorts of questions, but Mo Qingcheng casually replied that she was fine.
Liu Cuihua was frightened and got off the carriage with Liu Changgeng and went straight home.
The observant Mu Wanqing noticed a faint smell of blood on Mo Qingcheng's body, and her face darkened: "Mother, have you been fighting with someone again?"
"How could that be? My mother is beautiful and kind-hearted, how could she possibly do something so crude?" Mo Qingcheng's eyes flickered slightly, feeling somewhat guilty.
Mu Wanqing rolled her eyes: "Mother, you can fool your older brothers and sisters, and your younger brothers and sisters, but you think you can fool Qing'er?"
Mo Qingcheng chuckled sheepishly, "We encountered a robber on the road, and Mother got a sudden urge to grab some loose silver. You can ask your older brother if you don't believe me..."
"..." Shangguan Yichen was speechless. He took out the silver and casually tossed it to Mu Wanqing: "One tael each..."
Mu Wanqing rolled her eyes three times in a row. Is she trying to fool someone?
After washing up, Mo Qingcheng and Shangguan Yichen exchanged a glance, understanding each other without saying a word about what happened on the way.
Bai Yueniang and her three maids prepared a sumptuous dinner. Before the meal, Mo Qingcheng generously threw ten taels of silver at her.
After dinner, everyone dispersed. Seeing that no one was around, the one-eyed man knelt down with a thud: "Madam..."
