Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 56

He was overjoyed to see Mo Zhonggui and immediately called out, "Godfather!"

Shen Lingjun: "......!"

That unlucky kid, it seems he didn't remember a single word I told him last time?

Mo Zhonggui seemed very satisfied: "Good child, still so well-behaved."

Then he looked at Qin Jianxi and asked, "What about you? Why didn't you call out?"

Qin Jianxi was taken aback for a moment, then readily called out, "Godfather."

Shen Lingjun felt like covering his face in exasperation.

She thought Mo Zhonggui was just joking last time, but she didn't expect him to be serious.

Is he really going to become Qin Jianxi and Qin Chuyao's godfather?

This... Putting aside the fact that she didn't know what Mo Zhonggui was trying to do, even if he didn't have any malicious intent, she really didn't want her two children to get involved with Mo Zhonggui in this way.

Shen Lingjun forced a smile and said, "Chief Supervisor Mo, my two children are unruly and I'm afraid they are unworthy of your kindness..."

Mo Zhonggui turned her head, her gaze, filled with danger, falling menacingly upon her.

"You look down on me and don't want them to recognize me as their godfather?"

Startled, Shen Lingjun quickly swallowed her words: "No, no! If you don't mind, my children and I would be extremely honored..."

She had just caused him to misunderstand, and the matter of offending him was probably still fresh in her mind, so it was best not to provoke him now.

Well, if Mo Chonggui really wants to adopt the twins as his godson and goddaughter, at least they have a backer—but this backer is extremely unreliable.

To recognize a godfather, there is usually a formal ceremony of formally acknowledging the godparents. However, Mo Zhonggui just said it casually, and he may not be serious. He might lose interest one day and not acknowledge the relationship.

Mo Zhonggui snorted: "You say your children are naughty, but I think they are much more well-behaved than you."

Shen Lingjun: "..."

Much more obedient than her?

Does that mean she's being naughty?

What kind of inappropriate language is this?

This embarrassing statement immediately made Shen Lingjun's face burn, as if two balls of fire were rising up.

Qin Jianxi and Qin Chuyao both turned their heads and stared unblinkingly at their "naughty" mother.

Shen Lingjun was practically bursting with rage and frantically looked away.

What should I say in front of the children?

Fortunately, at that moment, Dou Niang came out with a plate of tea and snacks, which finally interrupted Shen Lingjun's embarrassment.

The damselfly was startled to see Mo Chonggui there.

However, since Mo Chonggui had already barged into Shen Lingjun's courtyard once before, Dou Niang was quite experienced and didn't show anything.

She had already come out, and there was no way she could go back, so she had no choice but to place the tray on the stone table in the courtyard with trepidation.

"Madam, young master and young lady, please have some tea and snacks... Chief Eunuch Mo, if you don't mind, please have some too?"

Dou Niang spoke haltingly, and it took a lot of courage for her to ask Mo Chonggui for help.

How could the Ninth Prince be drinking tea and eating snacks with them in this courtyard? She couldn't even imagine such a scene, but she couldn't just leave him there uninvited, could she?

Mo Zhonggui's gaze fell on the plate of pastries that had just been delivered.

It was a plate of osmanthus cakes.

Shen Lingjun has loved all kinds of osmanthus-based foods since she was a child. Osmanthus wine, osmanthus honey, sweet rice balls with osmanthus, osmanthus taro, osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root, osmanthus chestnut cake...

The damselfly is a great cook, and I often cook for her.

When Mo Chonggui saw the plate of osmanthus cakes, his eyes suddenly darkened and his face turned cold.

It seemed he had recalled some memory that he deeply resented.
