Old Man Bai recounted everything he had heard, and understood that Sister Mo was making preparations in advance.
That's good, better safe than sorry!
A hint of approval flashed in Old Man Bai's eyes, and he turned to Mu Wanqing with a cheerful smile, starting a conversation about other topics.
Mu Wanqing blinked. Her grandfather was such a good person!
A sly glint flashed in the little girl's eyes. She gave Old Man Bai a "good guy" card, found an excuse, and quietly found Mu Shenyi. The old man and the little girl mysteriously plunged into the alchemy room.
Mo Qingcheng: "..."
It's unbearable to look at. Was I rejected or was I rejected?
Oh well, as long as they're happy!
Mo Qingcheng beckoned and led Shangguan Yichen into the study. The mother and son stayed in the study for an hour, and no one knows what they talked about.
"Eldest son, Mother plans to return to the family in half a month. You will stay here to take care of your younger siblings for the time being..."
"No! Mother, I'd better go back to the family first." A fierce glint flashed in the young boy's eyes: "I want back everything that the Shangguan family stole."
"Eldest son, listen to what your mother says..." Mo Qingcheng tried to persuade Shangguan Yichen that she couldn't take the children and Old Man Bai on an adventure, otherwise they would become a weakness.
"My younger brother and sister are still small and need Mother's care. Don't worry, Mother, I will definitely take over the position of Young Master Shangguan." Shangguan Yichen said with a cold face. Don't think that just because you're young, you don't know what your mother is planning.
When Uncle Bai Yifan came last time, he secretly found Shangguan Yichen and subtly told her that Mo Qingcheng planned to secretly train a team and establish an intelligence network for the children and Old Man Bai.
Shangguan Yichen secretly became more cautious and kept a close eye on Mo Qingcheng's every move.
Bai Yifan secretly warned Shangguan Yichen not to let Mo Qingcheng find out, otherwise, given her temper, she would leave a note and leave.
Mo Qingcheng narrowed her eyes: "Shangguan Yichen, is your mother's word no longer valid?"
With the situation becoming increasingly urgent, Mo Qingcheng sent Hei Yi and Bai Yi to investigate the matter. They discovered that the family was sending people over every now and then, but the two of them secretly dealt with them.
If we don't go back soon, my cheapskate father might lose his life...
Mo Qingcheng has no feelings for her adoptive father, even though he might be a complete scumbag, but she can't just die right now.
Shangguan Yichen and Mo Qingcheng were locked in a stalemate: "Mother, I won't agree."
Mo Qingcheng: "..."
Why is it so hard to talk to the boss?
The mother and son argued heatedly, but in the end, Mo Qingcheng gave in: "Fine, since that's how it is, let's go together!"
"no!"
Mo Qingcheng: "..."
Why can't I reason with that brat?
Shangguan Yichen bit his lip: "Mother, I am the pillar of this family. If I don't go into the tiger's den, who will?"
Mo Qingcheng: "..."
She rolled her eyes in exasperation: "We'll talk about this later."
"..." Shangguan Yichen lowered his eyes indifferently. Did his mother intend to use the delaying tactic? Or did she want to escape?
Mo Qingcheng laughed in exasperation: "Eldest son, don't act all old-fashioned all the time. Your mother knows what she's doing in this matter..."
"Mother, as long as..."
"Mother promises you, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will arrange for you to return to the family first..." Mo Qingcheng gave Shangguan Yichen a meaningful look and placed a bottle of medicine in his palm: "You should arrange for your advancement. Mother will personally protect you."
Shangguan Yichen remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Alright!"
Mo Qingcheng: "..."
Why is being a stepmother so bittersweet?
The mother and son finalized some details, and after thinking for a moment, Mo Qingcheng took out a thousand taels of silver and handed it to Shangguan Yichen.
Shangguan Yichen thought for a moment, then tucked the silver note into his pocket. A thought flashed through his mind: his mother wanted to run away...
