Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 118 Mammy, I fell in love with a girl.

Capital city, Duke Dingguo’s Mansion.

In the huge main hall, the family was sitting around a huge round dining table having dinner.

Sitting in the main seat was a middle-aged man with a solemn face and a slightly plump figure. He was the Duke of Dingguo, Mo Qilan. Below him was the current Duke's wife, a beautiful woman with graceful manners. On the other side was the expressionless Mo Ziyuan.

Sitting next to the beautiful woman were her son and daughter, Mo Zichen and Mo Lanzhi.

The food on the table was plentiful, but the diners did not look very happy.

"Mo Ziyuan, I think the marriage your mother suggested is very good. The daughter of Marquis Ding'an is well-educated and good-looking. She is more than suitable for you. Tomorrow I will take you to visit the Marquis Ding'an's mansion." Mo Qilan picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and placed it on the plate in front of him, then looked at Mo Ziyuan and said.

"Tomorrow the Crown Prince will talk to me about something, so I'm afraid I won't be able to go with you. Also, I don't want to get married yet. Please, father, reject the offer from Marquis Ding'an!" Mo Ziyuan put down his chopsticks and looked directly at Mo Qilan.

"Your Highness?" A hint of doubt flashed across Mo Qilan's eyes. He put aside the matter of Marquis Ding'an and asked, "Didn't you just come back from His Highness's visit? Why are you going there again tomorrow?"

"Your Highness always has his own concerns."

"You!" Mo Qilan felt uncomfortable when he saw Mo Ziyuan's face that looked more and more like his first wife. He always felt like he couldn't express his anger, so he couldn't help but say angrily.

"Master, the prince has just returned. Please say what you want to say nicely!" The Duke's wife wiped the corner of her lips with a handkerchief and spoke.

"Hmph! This rebellious son, do you think he wants me to talk to him nicely?" Mo Qilan snorted coldly and slammed his chopsticks on the table in anger.

"The prince is still young and doesn't understand things. Master, you should teach him slowly and he will eventually understand. If you start to criticize him like this, I would not be happy either!" The Duke's wife advised gently.

Mo Ziyuan stood up and straightened his robe. "Father, Mother, please enjoy your meal. I will be leaving now. I haven't finished the things that His Highness has assigned me." After saying that, he turned around and strode away without even looking at Mo Qilan, whose face had turned blue with anger.

"Look, look, he doesn't even have me as his father in his eyes!" Mo Qilan was so angry that he was shaking all over, pointing at Mo Ziyuan's back and cursing loudly.

"Master, please calm down. The prince is busy with something and he is not trying to be mean to you." The Duke's wife quickly stood up and walked to Mo Qilan to touch his chest. Where he couldn't see, she couldn't suppress the curve of her mouth at all.

"Yes, Dad, my eldest brother is so powerful and is deeply trusted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. In the future, my son and sister will have to rely on him. Dad, please don't be angry with him." Mo Zichen also advised.

"Hmph, big brother is going too far. Daddy is obviously doing this for his own good. Sister Ziyun is beautiful and talented. What else could he be dissatisfied with? He actually refused to visit in the name of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and said he didn't want to get married. This is simply outrageous!" Mo Lanzhi pouted to express her dissatisfaction.

"Lanzhi, listen to what you are saying. Is this something a girl should say? Shut up!" The Duke's wife gently scolded her daughter.

Mo Lanzhi's eyes turned red after hearing this. She turned to look at Mo Qilan, "Dad~"

"Well, why are you scolding Lanzhi? She's not wrong. That rebellious son just doesn't know what's good for him. If it weren't for the decree from His Majesty back then, I..." Mo Qilan has hated himself for not being able to insist on not making Mo Ziyuan the crown prince all these years. "Master, my mother and I have no intention of competing for the crown prince's position. What if the crown prince hears you and misunderstands you?" The Duke's wife anxiously covered Mo Qilan's mouth with the hand holding the handkerchief, then seemed to suddenly realize that it was inappropriate to do so, and quickly took her hand away, her still charming face covered with a blush.

Mo Zichen and Mo Lanzhi exchanged a glance, each seeing a smile in the other's eyes. They exchanged glances, then both stood up and saluted, saying, "Father, Mother, we've finished our work and will be leaving soon."

Mo Qilan had grown to love his wife's gentleness and kindness over the years, so he waved to his children and said, "Alright, let's go back after we finish eating!"

The palace guards standing guard in the courtyard stood straight with their eyes on their noses and their noses on their hearts, but no one knew what they were thinking.

Back in his own courtyard, Mo Ziyuan irritably dismissed the servant who had followed him into the house to serve him. He buried his head in his quilt and began to miss Lin Xin, who was far away in Liulin Village. "Xin'er, what are you doing now?"

"Knock knock knock," three rhythmic knocks sounded on the door. Mo Ziyuan reluctantly struggled out of the quilt, walked to the door with a sullen face and opened it, but saw Aunt Zhang, who had taken care of him since he was a child, appear outside the room with a tray. On the tray was a bowl of shredded chicken noodles with a rich aroma.

"Madam Zhang, it's so late and you haven't rested yet, and you're still cooking noodles for me!" Mo Ziyuan took the tray and said to the old nanny whose face was full of traces of time.

"Mammy knew that the prince would not have enough to eat in the front, so she cooked this bowl of noodles. The prince has loved the noodles cooked by Mammy since he was a child!" Mammy Zhang followed him into the room, looking at him with loving eyes as he put noodles into his mouth in big mouthfuls.

"Yes! The shredded chicken noodles cooked by Aunt Zhang are the most delicious." Mo Ziyuan said while eating.

"Did that vixen try to trip you up in front of your father again?" Nanny Zhang asked after he had almost finished eating.

"No matter what she did, I will ignore her. Anyway, she can't take away the position of the prince." Mo Ziyuan waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Alas! The young lady passed away too early, otherwise the prince would not have to suffer such anger!" When Aunt Zhang thought of her young lady who died young, her eyes turned red.

"Madam, don't be sad. Mother has gone to enjoy her life. You should be happy for her. Besides, I don't feel offended at all!" Mo Ziyuan comforted Madam Zhang, then thought for a moment and said, "Madam, I've fallen in love with a girl."

"Really? Which family is this girl from?" Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang perked up and stopped crying. She wiped her face with a handkerchief and asked while looking at him with her bright eyes.

"She...is not from a wealthy family. I met her when I was on a business trip. She's a very good girl, very capable, and she even saved my life." Mo Ziyuan's eyes lit up when he talked about Lin Xin, which made Aunt Zhang feel relieved. The child finally found someone he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

"If she's not a lady from a noble family, then she's not. What's so good about being a lady from a noble family? If you marry a vixen like that, it will be enough to upset you!" said Nanny Zhang.

"Really? Ma'am, do you really think so?" Mo Ziyuan's eyes brightened. In this world, there were not many people he cared about, and Ma'am Zhang was definitely one of them. Although she was only the ma'am who had served him since he was a child, in his heart, she was much more important than the Duke's wife.

"Of course, as long as it's the one the prince likes, there's no mistake." Nanny Zhang said with a smile. A big part of the reason why she said that was because she saw Mo Ziyuan's feelings for that girl. The child had lived a hard enough life, and now she finally had someone she cared about. No matter what kind of person it was, she would agree.
