Tao Lengshuang had no intention of engaging with Mo Lingxi and moved aside, focusing her attention on the chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs.
The household had quite a few chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs, which laid eggs daily. It was impossible for just her and Xiao Feng to consume them all.
The remaining eggs…
In those days, every village and hamlet raised chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs, and every household had eggs.
Moreover, times were tough, and with various heavy taxes and levies, it was unlikely anyone would buy them.
With so many eggs left, they would spoil if not sold.
What should be done?
“Tao Lengshuang!”
Hearing Mo Lingxi’s intensified tone, Tao Lengshuang rolled her eyes at him and retorted ungraciously, “Is your voice so loud?”
“What are you roaring about? I’m not deaf, I can hear!”
Mo Lingxi pursed his lips, his tone dejected, “You heard me, why aren’t you responding?”
Tao Lengshuang let out a cold snort and said sarcastically, “Oh, the esteemed young master Mo is feeling wronged?”
Before Mo Lingxi could say anything, she added, “Yes, you are the noble young master Mo, the only one who can bully and scheme against others as he pleases. How dare anyone displease you.”
Mo Lingxi’s mouth twitched, feeling even more guilty and apologetic, “I… I’m sorry. It was my oversight. I shouldn’t have been solely focused on my own affairs.”
Tao Lengshuang chuckled twice, without a hint of emotional fluctuation, “Oh my, how remarkable. The great young master Mo actually apologizes to me. I am truly shocked.”
“The shock is too great, I’m not feeling well and need to rest in my room. Young master Mo, please take your time here.”
With that, she turned to go back inside.
But Mo Lingxi grabbed her hand, “Don’t be like this. Let’s talk properly.”
Tao Lengshuang tried to shake his hand off, but couldn’t: “Let go, do you hear me?”
“If you talk to me properly, I’ll let go.”
“Let go first, then we’ll talk.”
“No, we’ll talk first, then I’ll let go.”
“We’ll let go first, then we’ll talk.”
One insisted on talking before releasing, the other on releasing before talking.
They argued incessantly.
Zi Cheng watched them with a speechless expression. Were these two three-year-olds, arguing like this over such a trivial matter?
Perhaps this was the joy of married couples?
He couldn’t understand it, truly couldn’t.
It was not something someone without love could comprehend.
“Uncle, Doctor, I sincerely suggest you have a proper talk. Xiao Feng is watching.” He pointed to Xiao Feng, who was peeking from the doorway.
Tao Lengshuang and Mo Lingxi both looked towards Xiao Feng simultaneously.
Just then, Xiao Feng swiftly retreated back into the house.
The couple: “……” Xiao Feng was like a rabbit shrinking back into its burrow.
Tao Lengshuang cleared her throat and said stiffly, “Fine, for Xiao Feng’s sake, I’ll talk to you properly, but only this once.”
Mo Lingxi released her hand, his facial expression softening, “As I said, it was my oversight.”
He paused, then added, “Honestly, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on me.”
“Your changes were too drastic, and I was in such a situation. Given how you treated me before, it would be abnormal if I didn’t doubt you.”
Tao Lengshuang understood this. If Mo Lingxi suddenly underwent significant changes, she too would be suspicious and distant.
“That’s not an excuse for you to harm me.”
Mo Lingxi pinched his brow and said gently, “You have tried to harm Xiao Feng and me several times.”
Tao Lengshuang’s expression froze, and she suddenly remembered this.
The original owner of the body was an extremely selfish and malicious person, brainwashed by her maternal family. She didn’t treat Mo Lingxi and Xiao Feng as people at all, always thinking only of herself and her family.
She had tried to sell Mo Lingxi and Xiao Feng for money multiple times, and even found Xiao Feng troublesome, wanting to get rid of him.
“That was in the past.”
She felt guilt and remorse towards Xiao Feng, “Can’t you see the changes in me over this period?”
Mo Lingxi gently shook his head and sighed, “If it were you, would you believe someone’s sudden change over a period of time?”
“Besides, don’t forget how much trouble and danger you yourself are in.”
Tao Lengshuang frowned upon hearing this, “Regarding this matter, I’ve racked my brain but can’t figure it out.”
Who was it, and for what reason, that wanted her dead repeatedly?
The other party genuinely wanted her life.
Mo Lingxi had been investigating this matter, but now was not the time to discuss it, “I hope you can understand that given my situation and your changes, I would naturally suspect you.”
Tao Lengshuang still felt uncomfortable, looking at him with a chilling gaze, “Yes, yes, I must understand that you, young master Mo, have done nothing wrong. The fault is mine.”
“I must understand you. No matter what you’ve done to me, even if you took my life, I cannot blame you,
Because you were doing it for the entire Dong Jin dynasty and your nephew.”
Zi Cheng, who was mentioned, looked up at the sky with speechless exasperation. Was this truly his wise and mighty uncle, capable of handling any matter?
At this moment, he strongly suspected his uncle had been swapped, to be able to say such things.
“Uncle, is this how you apologize?” he said wearily.
Mo Lingxi didn’t think his apology was wrong. He had apologized after analyzing the actual situation, but Tao Lengshuang was like this, and even Zi Cheng said his apology was incorrect.
Where was it wrong?
Seeing his expression, Tao Lengshuang was so angry that she returned to her room, unwilling to deal with him any further.
“Daddy, you’re too笨!”
Xiao Feng made a face and grumbled, “Who apologizes like you? If it were me, I wouldn’t forgive you either, let alone Mommy.”
“Xiao Feng, please stop talking about your daddy.”
Zi Cheng was exhausted, “It’s a big improvement that your daddy is even apologizing. In the past, he never apologized. He always acted rather than spoke.”
If one were to say it, his uncle had become much more talkative.
Previously in Dong Du, his uncle always had a cold expression and spoke very little.
Xiao Feng understood and nodded, “Daddy wants to hit Mommy?” httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Mo Lingxi * Zi Cheng: “……” How did this child interpret it this way?
Seeing their expressions, Xiao Feng tilted his head adorably, “Did I misunderstand?”
“Does cousin mean that Daddy wants to solve the conflict with Mommy using his fists? But if he uses his fists, Mommy will get even angrier.”
Zi Cheng was choked up and gestured for Mo Lingxi to handle it himself.
It had to be said, he truly lived up to being his uncle’s son, his thoughts were truly unique.
Mo Lingxi squatted in front of Xiao Feng and stroked his head, saying gently, “Xiao Feng, Daddy never thought of hitting Mommy…”
“But Mommy said Daddy wants to harm her.” Xiao Feng’s words made Mo Lingxi’s heart uncomfortable.
Yes, he had considered eliminating Tao Lengshuang as a precaution.
“Daddy.”
Xiao Feng pouted and tugged at Mo Lingxi’s hand, “The Mommy from before was bad. She often hit and scolded me, disliked me, and even wanted to harm me.”
