Chapter 3056 Telling the Truth
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao was roused by a series of noises.
As she opened her eyes, the dawn had already arrived.
Numerous natives had emerged from their yurts, busily preparing steaming mantou and rice porridge, creating a cacophony.
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao turned over and spotted Crown Prince Mo lying on his side, chin propped on one hand, smiling at her.
She rolled her eyes and turned over, planning to resume her slumber.
However, Mo Lian wasnât about to let her go back to sleep. He reached out to lift her up and remarked with a mournful expression, âSigh, my wife has become so small. Itâs truly concerning.â
The little oneâs face turned red, and she remained speechless for a while.
âQiaoqiao, what would you like for breakfast?â
âShrimp dumplings and cubilose porridge,â the little one responded impa.s.sively.
âWow, Hubby truly knows his wifeâs preferences. Iâve already prepared it for you.â
Though the little one kept a poker face, a faint smile lingered in her heart. She pursed her lips and commanded, âPut me down!â
âThatâs outrageous. With your pet.i.te size, you move at a snailâs pace even with two steps. Youâre not even as tall as a basin! Itâs better for Hubby to carry you to the shower!â
Youâre short. Your entire Mo family is short!
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao criticized silently and snorted. âPlace Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao on the stool.â
Mo Lian stifled a laugh and reluctantly nodded. Eventually, he fetched a stool for the little one, positioning it in front of the basin.
The stoic little lady began to wash up expressionlessly. All the while, she inwardly criticized herself: If I had known earlier, I wouldnât have dug my own pit of court disasterâŚ
âQiaoqiao, now that youâve transformed like this, why donât you seize the chance to escape?â
âWaiting for you.â Qiao Mu wiped her face with a damp handkerchief and casually tossed it into the basin before hopping off the stool.
In an instant, Mo Lian materialized beside her, stretching out his arm to pull her back into his embrace.
âIâve prepared a lavish breakfast for you early in the morning. Are you pleased?â Mo Lian smiled as he carried her out of the yurt. Pausing for a moment, he lowered his head to whisper, âQiaoqiao changed her mind and stayed because of those people from Little Li Village, didnât she?â
Qiao Mu remained silent for a while, but eventually nodded. âIf I donât show up, that guy Second Qin will likely lead people to ma.s.sacre the village.â
âWhy do you say that?â Mo Lianâs eyes flashed as he lowered his head, fixing his gaze on her small face.
Qiao Muâs heart tightened instantly, and she felt a bit parched.
Because she knew Second Qinâs character better than anyone else.
They had spent so much time together back then. While Dottieâs memories might be somewhat blurred, the pain engraved in her heart couldnât be dispelled.
She didnât want to deceive Qiaoqiaoâs Lian. She didnât want to lie about anything, so she said, âDidnât I tell you before that I had a long dream?â
Mo Lianâs breathing became taut as he nodded.
âIn my dream, I saw him and that person. The Second Qin in my dream is an incredibly stubborn individual.â
âThough I might want to disregard the people of Little Li Village and escape alone, ultimately⌠I canât risk so many lives.â
âI-I understand his personality. According to the him in the dream, he would attack. He wouldnât hesitate to use the lives of the entire Little Li Village to threaten me.â
âIâve pondered it thoroughly. Should I ignore all of this, or should I stay for those villagers I donât know?â
