Chapter 421
The next morning, Shangguan Ziling woke up from her sleep at dawn. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, trying to dispel the sleepiness, but she was preoccupied with things and found it difficult to fall asleep again.
Mo Shaoxie also opened his eyes. He looked down at the person in his arms and said softly, "It's still early, Ling'er. You slept so late last night. Go to sleep a little longer." His voice was gentle and low, with a bit of doting.
Shangguan Ziling shook her head, her heart filled with worry for the children, unable to sleep peacefully again. "No, get up, I'll go check on the children, and then we'll go to the government office to meet the magistrate of Rongcheng." Her voice was a little hoarse, but firm and powerful.
Mo Shaoxie looked at her serious expression and couldn't help feeling distressed. He reached out and gently stroked her hair, "Okay!"
After getting up, the two simply tidied themselves up and walked out of the room.
Mo Feng, who was dozing at the door, stood up straight immediately when he saw the two people coming out and bowed respectfully: "Master, Princess."
Mo Shaoxie nodded lightly, put his arm around Shangguan Ziling's shoulders, and walked downstairs.
The lobby of the inn was already bustling with activity, and the aroma of various foods filled the air amid the bustling crowd.
They found a seat by the window and sat down to enjoy their breakfast.
After the two sat down, the waiter immediately served breakfast. Although there were not many dishes, they were all very delicate and delicious.
Shangguan Ziling looked around, but didn't see Bei Suqi. "Huh? Cousin, you haven't gotten up yet?"
Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Bei Suqi leaned on the railing of the stairs and said lazily, "Cousin, brother-in-law, good morning!"
Shangguan Ziling heard the voice and looked over, "Cousin, come and have breakfast."
"Hey, come here." Bei Suqi walked over, pulled out a stool, and was about to sit down when Mo Shaoxie made a slight move and the stool moved back instantly.
With a "thump", "Ouch... my butt!"
"Haha, uh... cousin, are you okay, haha..." Shangguan Ziling looked at Bei Suqi sitting on the ground and couldn't help but laughed.
Bei Suqi looked at Shangguan Ziling with resentment, "Cousin, I fell down like this, and you are still laughing?"
Shangguan Ziling smiled and said, "Sorry, cousin, I couldn't control myself."
Bei Suqi turned his head to look at Mo Shaoxie, "Cousin-in-law, don't tell me that this stool has legs and can move by itself?" When he sat down, he clearly felt the fluctuation of his internal force. When he wanted to withdraw, an invisible force pressed him down and prevented him from getting up, which made his butt suffer.
Shangguan Ziling naturally felt it, and so did her cousin. Ever since he called Mo Shaoxie "cousin-law" last time, he has been calling him that, as if that would satisfy him. Now, his butt is suffering.
Shangguan Ziling looked at Mo Shaoxie without blinking.
Mo Shaoxie acted as if nothing had happened. He picked up the chopsticks and served food to Shangguan Ziling.
Shangguan Ziling said: "Cousin, get up quickly and have dinner!"
Bei Suqi stood up with a somersault. Just as he was about to pull the stool again, Mo Shaoxie said quietly, "Go to the table next to you and don't disturb me and Ling'er."
"you……"
Mo Shaoxie glanced at Bei Suqi coldly, "Don't be a light bulb!"
Bei Suqi looked puzzled and asked, "Light bulb? What light bulb?"
Mo Feng stepped forward and whispered a few words in Bei Suqi's ear.
Bei Suqi flicked his sleeves and snorted, "I don't want it. Okay, I won't disturb you and my cousin. You and I are in love."
Bei Suqi sat down at the table next to him, feeling as aggrieved as he could be.
Shangguan Ziling wanted to say something, but Mo Shaoxie brought a bowl of bird's nest and scooped a spoonful to Shangguan Ziling's mouth, "Ling'er, eat!"
Bei Suqi was so disgusted by this. Isn't it said that the regent of the Dongyue Dynasty is cold-blooded and ruthless, killing people without blinking an eye? How come he is such a lovesick man in front of his cousin? But he is really happy for his cousin!
Shangguan Ziling opened her mouth and ate it. Mo Shaoxie followed with another spoonful and fed it to her mouth.
"I'll eat it myself, you..."
"I just want to feed Ling'er."
All right! Shangguan Ziling felt that she was really spoiled by this man, and she enjoyed his service sweetly.
Mo Shaoxie looked at her eating with gusto and couldn't help feeling relieved.
After breakfast, the two packed their luggage and came to the house where they stayed last night. The place had been cleaned up by the secret guards, and the children still stayed here last night.
Okra and Holly bought a lot of clothes for them to change into early in the morning.
The children put on new clothes and showed long-lost smiles.
The early morning sun shone through the clouds. Shangguan Ziling, Mo Shaoxie, Bei Suqi and others were sitting in the yard drinking tea, waiting for the children to finish breakfast so that they could check their bodies.
Qiu Kui and Dong Qing got up early, bought clothes for the children, and asked them to change into them. Then they carried baskets and went through the market to buy some hot buns, steamed bread and porridge. These foods exuded an attractive aroma, making people want to taste them.
When Okra and Holly brought the food to the yard, the children immediately gathered around.
Their eyes were wide open, staring at the food, as if they could already smell its deliciousness.
Some children even couldn't help drooling, their eyes were full of desire and anticipation.
"Come on, children, eat." Okra said with a smile, and she handed the food to the children.
The children took the food and devoured it ravenously, their movements quick and rough, as if they had not eaten such delicious food for a long time.
Some children ate too quickly and accidentally burned their mouths, but they simply spit out the food and continued to eat.
"Hey! Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry, just make sure you are full." Qiu Kui reminded, with a bit of tenderness and concern in her voice.
The children listened to her and slowed down a little, but their eyes were still fixed on the food, afraid to miss any bite.
Shangguan Ziling looked at these children and felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She could imagine what life these children had lived before, otherwise they would not eat the food so greedily. She decided to do her best to help these children and let them live a normal life.
Mo Shaoxie also noticed the change in Shangguan Ziling's expression. He gently held her hand and gave her some support and encouragement. He knew that his Ling'er had always been kind.
"Oh! These scum! They deserve to die!" Bei Suqi said angrily.
