Chapter 218: I Want Her to Die
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“I want you to see the trust written in my eyes.” Crown Prince Mo did not know whether to laugh or cry. He held her face. “No matter what you do, I’ll believe in you.”
“No matter what you want to do, I’ll stand on your side,” Mo Lian gently said as his head pressed against her head.
‘Hence, you aren’t alone. Don’t show an ‘I’m very lonely by myself’ expression next time. Because… my heart hurts a lot when I see it.’
“I want her to die.” The child pursed her lips and subconsciously clenched her fists.
“There’s two months at most before my mother will give birth. I…! I absolutely can’t let her live past these two months!”
Mo Lian loosened her hand finger by finger and took out a jar of superior-quality medicinal powder and smeared it across the tiny wounds on her palm. “Three days.”
The child looked up at Mo Lian with undisguisable shock.
“It’ll be Xijiu City’s Thousand Blossom Festival in two days. After acquiring so much food this time, City Lord Gu will definitely…” Mo Lian whispered next to her ear.
The child dazedly looked at him. Didn’t this young and handsome crown prince treat her too well?
A strange feeling raised in her heart. She had never met someone who agreed to her every wish like this in either of her two lives.
Even the lunatic who drowned her in doting from her previous life merely indulged her like a little pet. He did not trust or respect her at all.
Was this a friend?
Fighting zombies together, acquiring granaries together—killing a person together should not be something to be shocked about, right?
“Don’t… don’t you think I’m heartless, vicious, cruel…”
Mo Lian reached out to cover her mouth and leaned close to her face as he said, “You’re my Qiaoqiao. You’re always the best.”
Qiao Mu blinked and thought, “I also think I’m quite good.”
“…”
“Qiaoqiao, can Mother enter?” Wei Ziqin stood outside the door and was dumbfounded when she heard the private conversation inside the room.
Although her daughter was still young and there were not as many formalities about the segregation of men and women, why did she feel like she somehow obtained a son-in-law when this youth barged into their house and went straight into her daughter’s room?
Ah, pah pah pah! Her Qiaoqiao was still young!!!
When the door opened, the youth’s white robes billowed like a cloud as he bowed at her in a refined manner and said, “Auntie, sorry for the disturbance. I’m Mo Lian, Xiao Qiaoqiao’s best partner.”
“Ah, it’s Xiao Mo.” Who wouldn’t like such a handsome and gentle boy? Wei Ziqin immediately revealed a smile.
Young Xiao Mo made himself stand out in front of his future mother-in-law and ferociously gained her good opinion. They chattered for a while, and Wei Ziqin nearly forgot about checking up on her daughter.
Qiao Mu was a bit speechless as she looked at the two people conversing at the door.
It was not until Crown Prince Mo reminded Wei Ziqin and tactfully gave the room to the mother and daughter that Wei Ziqin watched him leave with a smile.
As soon as Wei Ziqing entered the room, she grasped Qiaoqiao’s hand and lavished him in praises and unreserved compliments.
“I wonder whose son this is. Young and graceful. What a finely raised, upstanding young man.”
When Wei Ziqin saw her daughter’s bewildered face, she finally remembered her business for being here. “Good child, Mother didn’t understand what happened earlier. Can you explain it to Mother? Mother knows that her daughter isn’t a rude person like that. Something must’ve happened.”
“Mother.” Qiao Mu wanted to cry. She buried her head in Wei Ziqin’s arms. “Sorry, Mother. Your daughter disgraced you earlier, didn’t she.”
Although she knew the reason behind that rampaging fury, the rest of her family did not know. Perhaps, it really was just a child throwing a willful and brash tantrum to them.
They did not know the events in her previous life, so what reason did she have to blame these clueless people.
“Nonsense. What a silly child.” Wei Ziqin held her daughter as she said, “Ah, you. You think and worry too much despite your young age.”
