A sense of foreboding rose in Mo Qingcheng's heart. She pulled Shangguan Yunxi aside, her face darkening. "Xi'er, are you...?"
"Mother, that old nanny is so strange..." The little girl tilted her head, her face full of innocence, but no one knew that a devil lived in the heart of the little girl.
Mo Qingcheng stared intently at Shangguan Yunxi, but the little girl wasn't afraid at all. With a flick of her wrist, a lustrous phoenix-shaped jade pendant caught her eye.
"Mother..."
Mo Qingcheng's eyes narrowed, and she reached out to pull out the phoenix-shaped jade pendant from her neck, her expression complicated.
The two jade pendants are a pair, identical in color and shape. If you look closely, you can faintly see the character "婉" (wan) engraved in the sunlight, but the character is only complete when the pendants are put together.
Mo Qingcheng pulled Shangguan Yunxi into her arms: "Xi'er, I'm sorry..."
Shangguan Yunxi blinked: "I won't go to Hell or the Water Hell? As long as Mother is happy."
"..." Mo Qingcheng felt a lump in her throat. This jade pendant was a timely help, as it concerned the mystery of the original owner's background.
"Xi'er..."
"Mother, you and I know about this, but that old nanny... I'm afraid..." The little girl's eyes were full of worry.
Mo Qingcheng squatted down and pinched the little girl's chubby cheeks: "Mommy will take good care of herself..."
Shangguan Yunxi giggled: "Mommy, don't pay any attention to my naughty little brother's cheating..."
Bai Ziming stumbled over and burst into tears: "Bad sister, Momo doesn't love you anymore..."
"Little brother, Mommy is very tired." Shangguan Yunxi rolled her eyes, picked up Bai Zimo and walked to the side.
Mo Qingcheng felt a warmth in her heart. The little girl was no simpleton. But who taught her this skill of stealing the sky and changing the sun?
"Sister Mo, are you all alright?" Bai Yueniang returned hurriedly with several women, her face full of worry.
"What could have happened? How did it go?" Mo Qingcheng changed the subject, glancing at Bai Yueniang's basket, which was heavy, indicating a good haul.
As expected, the women were quite capable. To ensure the men had a good meal, they used their skills to gather wild vegetables, hunt game, and catch a basket of fish and shrimp, including a dozen or so crayfish.
Mo Qingcheng immediately had an idea: some washed the fish, some washed the vegetables, some kneaded the dough, and some started the fire.
Only the crayfish remained, abandoned and forgotten in the wooden basin.
Bai Yueniang sighed softly, "Sister Mo, can this be eaten? I can't bear to throw it away."
"Sure." Mo Qingcheng's mind flashed with images of spicy crayfish, and she almost drooled, lost in fond memories.
Bai Yueniang's watery eyes sparkled: "Sister Mo, this thing is dirty and smelly, can you really eat it?"
"I guarantee you'll want to eat the next meal after you finish the first one." Mo Qingcheng grinned and began to prepare the crayfish.
Shangguan Yunxi and Mu Wanqing squatted curiously beside them, while Bai Zimo drooled and tilted his head, saying, "Mother, Momo isn't afraid of poison."
"Pfft!" The girls burst out laughing instantly.
Shangguan Yunxi shook her head: "Mo Mo, are you determined to be a foodie?"
"Mmm! Eat, at the restaurant!" The little guy drooled as he thought of all the delicious food his mother made.
Mu Wanqing was slightly taken aback. Could it be that this little foodie was thinking of opening a restaurant?
Pretty good...
Bai Ziming's eyes flickered slightly. Mother isn't angry...
Mo Qingcheng was in a dilemma. There were chili peppers in the farm space, but it was not the right time to take them out. So she had to settle for second best and grabbed a handful of herbs and threw them into the pot.
Shangguan Yichen frowned: "Are you sure you can eat this?"
"Big brother, if you're so capable, then don't eat..." Mu Wanqing pouted. Big brother always causes trouble for Mother, but he doesn't eat a single bite less. Humph!
So dramatic!
The young boy was bewildered in the wind...
