Upon entering the inner hall, the children rushed over, chattering excitedly and showing concern for Mo Qianshang.
"Mother, are you alright? That person was so stupid and wicked, he went too far! Luckily, Mother is smart."
The little ones were all indignant. If their mother hadn't been prepared, Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng would have been finished.
Meng Zhuo walked over, his gratitude towards Mo Qianshang was like a surging river, never-ending!
"Thanks to you, otherwise we would have really fallen into someone else's trap. Please stay for dinner tonight."
Lady Meng said with a smile, "You're not allowed to leave today! Your sister is cooking for you, and you absolutely have to try my food!"
Mo Qianshang really couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to agree.
Qin Baiyi stood silently to the side, feeling as if he hadn't been of any help.
Meng Zhuo went to help Madam Meng. The children were doing their homework at the stone table in the courtyard, leaving only Qin Baiyi and Mo Qianshang.
Perhaps the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Qin Baiyi took the initiative to speak, her tone somewhat dejected: "I don't think I was of any help."
Mo Qianshang noticed, but she didn't know how to comfort her "friend". "No, you standing next to me is a big help to me. What if that man tries to attack me? With you by my side, he won't dare to make a move easily."
After racking her brains, Mo Qianshang finally came up with this excuse. It's fine to ask her to comfort a child, as her words come from the heart. But asking her to comfort a grown man is really a bit of a challenge.
Qin Baiyi remained silent, it was unclear whether he believed her or not.
For some reason, she thought of Qin Baiyi's stunningly handsome face again, wondering what expression he would have on his face now.
Mo Qianshang was stunned, not knowing why she had such thoughts. She cleared her mind of the strange ideas, felt a little thirsty, and drank several sips of tea before she recovered.
I really can't think like that anymore; she's the mother of four children.
It wasn't until the three children dragged the two of them to check their homework that Mo Qianshang felt like she had come back to life.
Seeing Mo Qianshang's relaxed expression when facing the child, Qin Baiyi felt complicated. Was it really that boring to be with him?
"Mother, look, this is my homework." Qin Heming voluntarily handed over his homework for Mo Qianshang to check.
The handwriting is neat and the understanding is accurate, very good. Mo Qianshang did not hold back her praise: "Good, Heming is very good. You did your homework very well. You must have listened very attentively in class. Keep up the good work! If you don't understand anything, be sure to ask the teacher as soon as possible. Don't be ashamed to ask questions."
Qin Heming blushed with pride upon receiving the praise. His eyes shone as he nodded emphatically, "I will definitely continue to listen attentively to the Master's teachings in the future."
"Mine too, mine too!"
The remaining two little ones wouldn't have it and insisted that Mo Qianshang also praise them.
Seeing the mother and her three children enjoying themselves together, Qin Baiyi's gaze towards Mo Qianshang grew increasingly tender, though he himself was unaware of it.
Qin Zixuan looked at his father standing to the side with a headache. His father was really something. They had already made room for him and his mother, but he still didn't know what to do. Oh well, he could only let them worry about it.
Qin Zixuan felt that he should discuss this matter with his older brother and see how to help their parents improve their relationship.
"Little ones, dinner's ready! Sister Mo, come quick!" Madam Meng walked over carrying two plates of food, followed by Meng Zhuo and the servants.
The children ran off first, and Mo Qianshang looked at Qin Baiyi, preparing to call him to go with them.
"I won't go. You guys eat. I have something to do and will come later."
Seeing this, Mo Qianshang didn't ask any more questions. Everyone has things they don't want to talk about, and Qin Baiyi might just tell them when the time comes.
"Alright, if there's anything I can do to help, please let me know."
Although she felt that Qin Baiyi would hardly believe her if she said this, Mo Qianshang still had to say it.
To her surprise, Qin Baiyi surprisingly agreed with what she said.
"good."
This caused Mo Qianshang to be somewhat absent-minded while eating, and she only came back to her senses when Meng Niangzi spoke to her.
If it weren't for the fact that Mo Qianshang had bought a house in the county town, Madam Meng would have been eager to have them live in her house.
That night, Mo Qianshang made sure the children were settled in early, but she herself couldn't fall asleep.
She sat on the rooftop looking at the stars. In the blink of an eye, she had been here for so long. She was used to living a life of constant danger, but now she was living such a peaceful life here. It felt like she had suddenly entered a retirement home.
She never imagined that one day she would time travel, and even more so, she would time travel into the body of a mother of four children. Although she was a stepmother, it was something she would never have dared to dream of before.
Not only did I travel through time, I also obtained a system.
Mo Qianshang opened the system to look at its contents. It contained all sorts of things, which could be bought with silver. There were even many modern items. Mo Qianshang began to doubt the origin of the system.
"System, who created you? Why are you bound to me? Do other people have systems too?" Mo Qianshang asked involuntarily.
[System: Unable to answer the host's question.]
Mo Qianshang hadn't really expected to get any answers. Just as she was about to go back to sleep, she heard someone stepping on the roof tiles next to her.
It is Qin Baiyi.
The wind was a bit strong at night, and Qin Baiyi's clothes were blown up by the wind. Mo Qianchang noticed that he wasn't wearing a hood.
A gentleman as beautiful as jade, unparalleled in the world.
Mo Qianshang couldn't help but sigh, but by the time she realized it, it was too late.
Mo Qianshang was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed. Good heavens, how could she have said that? In this era, such behavior would probably be considered dissolute.
For a moment, Mo Qianshang didn't know how to face Qin Baiyi. Her mouth was truly something else.
Qin Baiyi's lips curled slightly when she heard Mo Qianshang's evaluation. So Mo Qianshang thought highly of her.
The evening breeze ruffled Mo Qianshang's hair at her temples. The two remained silent, mainly because Mo Qianshang felt somewhat guilty.
Let's retreat first, and avoid an awkward situation.
Mo Qianshang fled back to her room, closed the door, and sighed deeply. She should be more careful; this was ancient times, after all. She might end up being drowned in a pig cage.
Mo Qianshang lay down fully clothed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Finally, she went to check on the three little ones, worried that they might kick off their blankets while sleeping.
The three little ones were sleeping very well, except for Qin Zixuan, who rolled to the side. Mo Qianshang carried him inside and covered him with a blanket.
All she wants to do right now is raise these children well. She'll worry about the future later; she doesn't want to think about it too much for now.
Mo Qianshang returned to her room and slept soundly.
Qin Baiyi couldn't sleep all night because of Mo Qianshang's words.
