"This is my long-lost uncle..." Mo Qingcheng introduced to everyone.
"Old Master Mo is so humorous!"
"Greetings, Mr. Mo!"
"Old Master Mo is really interesting!"
"Grandpa Mo, you are truly blessed!"
Everyone greeted him warmly, and Mu Shen's face was full of wrinkles: "Hehe, you can focus on your work, my Mo girl won't treat you badly."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Mo."
May Grandpa Mo live to be a hundred years old!
Shinichi Maki: "..."
As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.
"Ahem..." Mu Shenyi adopted the demeanor of someone's uncle, but soon his true nature as a mischievous old man was revealed.
Mo Qingcheng was both amused and exasperated. She had gone around in circles, but the progress was a bit slow. The Mid-Autumn Festival was the day after tomorrow. Money, oh money, please sprout wings and fly over here!
An hour and a half later, when they came out of the greenhouse, Maki Shinichi was very popular. Several girls who had been working with him wanted to grab his beard and not let him leave.
Mo Qingcheng was speechless, secretly resolving never to take her old rascal uncle wandering around again.
Mu Shen smiled and waved goodbye to the little guy, saying, "I'll come again tomorrow."
Mo Qingcheng slipped and almost knelt down. She decided to skip it tomorrow and go find her father to tell him to keep bothering her uncle.
Mu Shen saw through Mo Qingcheng's intentions but didn't expose her. He decided to make a quick getaway tomorrow. His master was truly prescient; he never imagined he would be living a retired life ahead of schedule...
Mo Qingcheng was unaware that the "master" Mu Shen mentioned... was actually... an old acquaintance she had never met...
Back home, Bai Yueniang served tea and pastries: "Sister Mo, you've been working yourself to the bone these past few days, please have pity on Yue'er?"
"You want to go find Brother Bai?" Mo Qingcheng rolled her eyes: "The moment you opened your mouth..."
"Stop! Who wants to go? Humph! You're just bullying people!" Bai Yueniang glared at Mo Qingcheng angrily and pouted, "My brother-in-law doesn't care about you anyway."
Mo Qingcheng: "..."
Can someone tell me what it feels like to be an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire? I'm terrified! What kind of brother-in-law is this? Who knows where he's hiding...?
A man thousands of miles away sneezed several times in a row, and the guards around him immediately became alert.
"Master, have you caught a cold?"
"Master, are you having an attack?"
The man swept his cold gaze over them and said, "You're the ones with colds, you're the ones having an attack of illness..."
The guards exchanged bewildered glances, then moved. Their master was clearly lovesick, longing for his mistress…
The man stumbled and almost fell flat on his face. Everyone felt sorry for him and said that once this matter was settled, they would accompany their master to find his wife, even if it meant going through fire and water.
"Master, please bear with it, the lady's life is so hard..."
A certain man: "..."
Guards! Whose foolish bodyguard is this? Take him away!
Mo Qingcheng's face darkened: "Yue'er, just ignore that person and don't disgust me. I can barely eat lunch..."
"Great, no one's going to steal our food." Bai Yueniang said gloatingly, "Sister Mo, I never thought you'd be in this situation."
Mo Qingcheng: "Yue'er, what's wrong with you?"
"No, Sister Mo, you're overthinking it. I'll go check the kitchen..." Bai Yueniang gave Mo Qingcheng a meaningful look, then turned and drifted away.
As Mo Qingcheng ate her pastries and drank her tea, a pair of cold eyes inexplicably flashed through her mind, causing her to shiver involuntarily.
Warning: High-energy content ahead! Survival is paramount!
"Mother, can Grandpa Mo come with me to the alchemy room?" Mu Wanqing asked coquettishly as she stepped forward.
Mo Qingcheng casually replied, "Hmm..."
"Thank you, Mommy!" The little girl waved her hand happily and ran off.
Mo Qingcheng realized belatedly that she had fallen into a trap. That small figure disappeared in the blink of an eye, and her eyes flickered slightly.
Go take a look...
