"You're overthinking it..." Mo Qingcheng patted Bai Yueniang's shoulder: "Let's go."
Bai Yueniang opened her mouth, "Sister Mo, are you afraid of bringing danger to everyone? It's all my fault for having no skills."
“Sister Yue, everyone has their own strengths…” Mo Qingcheng turned around, her eyes full of smiles.
Bai Yueniang took a deep breath and nodded firmly. Ripples spread across her heart, and a warm current flowed through her soul...
Shangguan Yichen paused, lost in thought, wondering what his strengths were.
It seems that besides being able to throw tantrums... he is useless. The young boy felt frustrated, and his clenched fists betrayed his inner tension.
Mo Qingcheng's lips curled into a meaningful smile. Cough cough... This provocation... is quite effective.
The next second, they were slapped in the face.
Shangguan Yichen, with a stern, icy expression, turned around and asked, "Is this how your stepmother usually gives your younger siblings pep talks?"
Chicken soup for the soul? Bai Yueniang was taken aback. This was the first time she had ever heard of it. Was she just too ignorant?
Mo Qingcheng, who was gloating over her actions: "..."
I don't believe you!
"Only those who lack self-confidence underestimate themselves..."
Shangguan Yichen turned around slowly: "If you want my brother and sister to be completely devoted to you, you have to show your true abilities."
"I believe you'll soon be willing to call me 'Mother'..." Mo Qingcheng's infuriating tone almost made the young boy explode on the spot.
Bai Yueniang couldn't help but chuckle. So this was how Sister Mo usually interacted with the children?
Soon they arrived at the riverbank. Shangguan Yichen put down his basket and frowned slightly. Chaos erupted at the riverbank; there wasn't even room to stand. The stepmother was lying again.
Seeing the young boy roll up his trousers and about to go into the river, Mo Qingcheng quickly stopped him: "Wait, let's go a little further away. This place smells like feet. Are you sure you want to eat the fish here?"
With a dark expression, Shangguan Yichen followed behind Mo Qingcheng and Bai Yueniang with a basket on his back, wondering to himself, "Am I stupid?"
"Boss, come quick." Mo Qingcheng's shout rang in his ears. Shangguan Yichen frowned and followed with a cold face.
"Sister Mo, your eldest son seems to be angry..." Bai Yueniang lowered her voice, feeling that there was something wrong with the way the mother and son interacted, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.
“It’s alright, he’ll grow bigger with practice…” Mo Qingcheng stopped and gave the young boy a meaningful look.
Shangguan Yichen took a deep breath. He thought, "I have to spoil my father's wife, even if I have to kneel down. I can't just stand by and watch my father get cuckolded, can I?"
Bai Yueniang was incredibly envious; all the good children belong to other people. Although her own little darling was also very sweet, she still felt a little regretful that she wouldn't be able to carry on the family line in the future.
Mo Qingcheng glanced at Bai Yueniang with a strange look. Ancient feudal ideas were deeply rooted, and women suffered greatly from them. She could not change them in a short time and could only influence them gradually.
Before long, the group moved away from the noisy crowd. Mo Qingcheng shone a light around, put the basket on her back, clapped her hands, gave a meaningful smile, and led Bai Yueniang up the mountain.
Shangguan Yichen: "..."
Shouldn't he be telling himself to wait for her to come back? The young boy, with an indescribable restlessness between his brows, stamped his foot as he tried his best to wait.
A mountain breeze blew by, calming the young boy's heart somewhat, until that figure disappeared into the forest, and he came back to his senses...
Mo Qingcheng and Bai Yueniang chatted and laughed as they walked up the mountain, encountering several acquaintances along the way, and greeting them one by one.
"Sister Mo, let's set up a few traps..."
"Are you sure we didn't hunt down a handsome man? Haha..."
