My treasure bowl connects the past and present; I've won everything on my journey into exile.

Aren't you worried?

Liu Ying looked at Lin Mo, who looked relaxed, with suspicion. "In this cold weather, if something happens on the road, it will be too late for you to regret it."

She couldn't understand why Momo had agreed to let them bring the child over to meet them. Wasn't she worried?

Lin Mo, “…”

"Mother, tell me, what exactly do you want to say!"

Judging from her hesitant, stammering manner, it's clear she has something left unsaid.

Liu Ying was a little embarrassed. "I... I was just worried that he would take Ziyue away and not give him back to us."

She raised Ziyue's child.

What will I do if they don't return Ziyue to me?

The thought of her child being taken away made Liu Ying feel as if her heart had been ripped out.

Lin Mo rolled her eyes. "Then why didn't you go and keep watch when I told you to follow them?"

"You see for yourself. If they don't want to return Ziyue to us, why don't you just snatch the child back?"

Liu Ying nodded with a serious expression. "Do you think I haven't thought about it?"

But I'm afraid I'll hold them back.

I'm completely defenseless. If I were there when they try to snatch the child, I'd only be a burden, slowing them down their escape route.

"Wow, my mom thinks quite a lot about things." Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

Seeing that she was about to get angry, Lin Mo shook her head:

"Alright, Mom, you're overthinking it."

The Seventh Prince won't take Ziyue away, and he has no reason to do so.

That was originally his child. He wanted Ziyue back, and we couldn't persuade him otherwise, so we had no choice but to cooperate and give the child to him.

Moreover, if he really wanted to rob someone, he wouldn't have made such a big show of having Ziyue taken away.

He was busy and couldn't leave, but he wanted to see the children, so he had someone take them with him.

Liu Ying breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the other party had no intention of taking the child.

"That's good, let's go home!" Liu Ying's mood instantly improved.

"While I have some free time these next couple of days, tell Mom what you want to eat and Mom will make it for you."

Lin Mo shook her head, "Never mind."

Mom, you finally have some time off from taking care of the kids, so please take a couple of days to rest.

I'll have Granny Qin and the others make whatever I want to eat; you don't need to trouble yourself like this.

After sending her mother back, she took Qinglian and Xu Pinggui for a stroll around Yuancheng.

Since we rarely get out, we naturally have to take a stroll around.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, Yuancheng is already filled with the festive atmosphere.

Many shops and markets have already started preparing for the Lunar New Year.

Moreover, there are significantly more people on the streets now than before, as people are starting to prepare for the New Year.

“It’s almost the New Year, and there’s probably more petty theft going around. Pinggui, have someone increase patrols. I don’t want any robberies to happen in the streets here,” Lin Mo said as she looked around.

If Yuancheng is as chaotic and unsafe as Mocheng, who would want to come here to develop?

Therefore, Yuancheng must maintain order.

"Young Madam, these young ladies have already given their instructions. Rest assured, if any such incident is discovered, they will be severely punished." Xu Pinggui said solemnly.

He was waiting to make an example of one to warn others.

Just then, that unlucky guy bumped into his hand.

Lin Mo was taken aback, then raised an eyebrow. She hadn't expected Xu Xianyu to have thought of these things. Not bad.

It seems they've grown quite a bit.

……

While Lin Mo was strolling around, Xu Xianyu was playing with Xu Ziyue in the carriage.

Xu Ziyue, who had someone to play with, only glanced at Huangfu Cheng, who had just boarded the carriage, and then abandoned his favorite game and rushed into Xu Xianyu's arms.

No matter how Xu Xianyu tried to coax him, he just wouldn't let go of Xu Xianyu.

This made Huangfu Cheng's eyes twitch.

This kid looks so irritating.

He couldn't resist reaching out to grab the kid, but before he could even touch him, Xu Xianyu was already staring at him with a tense and wary expression.

"What do you want to do?"

"You're tired of carrying him, let me help you carry him. This kid looks pretty heavy, I'm afraid you'll get too tired." Huangfu Cheng said innocently.

What can he do?

This kid might be the future emperor of Beiling. Can I really spank him?

I wouldn't dare!

What if he holds a grudge?

Look at his eyes, they're as cold and indifferent as his father's. You can't afford to mess with him.

Xu Xianyu breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head, "No need, I can hold you."

Ziyue doesn't like him. If you let him hug you, Ziyue will cry and make a fuss.

Even if she doesn't cry or make a fuss, she's afraid the two of them will start fighting.

"It's alright, I'll hold him. I'll also help build a relationship with him." Huangfu Cheng smiled. After all, he would be his uncle-in-law in the future, so it wouldn't do if their relationship wasn't good.

Huangfu Cheng smiled and reached out to hug Xu Ziyue.

But at that moment, an accident occurred.

Xu Ziyue suddenly grabbed his hand and bit down on it.

hiss!

Huangfu Cheng gasped, "It hurts!"

Looking at Huangfu Cheng, who was still biting him tightly, he had only one thought: how many teeth does this little thing have? Why does it hurt so much when it bites?

He still wouldn't let go, and Huangfu Cheng had an urge to throw him away.

Xu Xianyu was stunned.

They were indeed incompatible according to their birth charts; they started fighting as soon as they got close.

Xu Xianyu snapped out of her daze and quickly reached out to pull Xu Ziyue.

"Ziyue, open your mouth quickly, stop biting."

"Ziyue, be good, let go of my mouth!"

……

After coaxing Xu Ziyue to let go, Xu Xianyu quickly picked him up and brought him to her side.

"Ziyue, open your mouth and let your aunt see if you have any broken teeth!"

"Sweetie, open your mouth wide."

She shook her head as she tried to comfort Xu Ziyue:

"Ziyue, you little idiot, why did you bite him?"

He's thick-skinned and tough, and your little green bean teeth are so small, what if you bite them and chip them?

After checking and confirming that there were no problems, Xu Xianyu nodded in satisfaction, "Well, it's alright. Luckily, your little green bean teeth are fine. If they had broken, I'd like to see how you would eat meat."

Xu Ziyue glanced at Huangfu Cheng and shook his head indistinctly. "I won't eat!"

Huangfu Cheng was jealous.

This brat is clearly here to steal his wife. No, I must have owed him something in my past life.

Also, listen to what the little girl has to say.

What do you mean by saying you're thick-skinned and tough, and you'd break his teeth?

Even though this little thing almost bit off a piece of his flesh, she didn't feel sorry for herself, but worried that the little brat's teeth would get damaged.

Huangfu Cheng stretched out his hand with a wronged expression, "Little girl, look at this little thing's masterpiece?"

His teeth were so sharp they almost tore the flesh off.

Seeing the faint traces of blood on Huangfu Cheng's arm, Xu Xianyu felt a little guilty.

Cough, it was a pretty bad bite.

"That's your own fault. He doesn't like you, yet you still hug him. Who else would he bite if not you!"

Xu Xianyu simply passed the buck back to him.

Then he looked at Xu Ziyue with a serious expression:

"You can't bite anyone next time, not anyone, understand?"

If you don't want to hug him, you can avoid him, but you can't bite him anymore; biting is wrong.

Xu Ziyue, "..."

Can't understand.

Huangfu Cheng, "..."

That's so perfunctory.

Oh well, what can I do? I ended up with this girl.

Huangfu Cheng's gaze fell on Xu Ziyue, and he grinned, "If you bite me again, little thing, I'll pull out all your teeth one by one."

Pull his teeth?

Xu Ziyue immediately looked at him and started baring his teeth and claws at him.

If Xu Xianyu were holding him, he would have crawled over and taken another bite by now.

A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger!

"Ziyue!" Xu Xianyu hugged him tightly. "He was just trying to scare you."

My head is throbbing uncontrollably!

A child who is too smart can also be a worry.

And this child, he's also someone who holds grudges.

Xu Xianyu looked at Huangfu Cheng with disdain in his eyes:

"You're such a grown man, why are you still arguing with a child?"

He's still a child, what does he know!

Huangfu Cheng felt wronged. It was clearly this little thing that didn't like him, always scratching or biting him.

"Little girl, you're being unfair." Huangfu Cheng said with a resentful look.

"You're biased towards him."

Xu Xianyu was amused by him, "He's my nephew, if I don't favor him, why would I favor you?"

Huangfu Cheng was depressed.

Looking at Xu Ziyue with melancholy eyes, he sighed and shook his head.

"I regret making this trip."

If I hadn't made this trip, I wouldn't have felt so heartbroken.

"Too late!" Xu Xianyu picked Xu Ziyue up and gently coaxed him.

Xu Ziyue nestled quietly in Xu Xianyu's arms, his round eyes fixed on Huangfu Cheng.

Huangfu Cheng felt a mixture of envy and jealousy. This little thing had taken his place and was even biting him, making him grind his teeth involuntarily.

"Little girl, aren't you being too nice to this little thing?"

Let me tell you, boys should be raised freely, never overly pampered.

You shouldn't spoil someone like Xu Ziyue.

He's so big now, you can't keep holding him and comforting him.

I'm telling you, he's at an age where he needs to experience some tough times, otherwise he'll become spoiled and pampered.

Xu Xianyu gave him a look that said, "You're sick in the head."

Xu Ziyue is only one year old and can't even walk steadily yet, and he keeps falling and getting hurt.

Whose big son is this? Shouldn't he be cuddled and pampered at this age?

Taking a deep breath, Xu Xianyu looked at him earnestly:

"Huangfu Cheng, I finally understand why Ziyue doesn't like you. There really is a reason."

Even I can't stand the sight of you now!

Seeing that he still wanted to speak, Xu Xianyu didn't give him the chance and directly snorted coldly:

"Stay away and don't say a word!"

Huangfu Cheng, "..."

What did he say wrong?

……
