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 wasn't about to let her go back to sleep. He reached out to lift her up and remarked with a mournful expression, "Sigh, my wife has become so small. It's truly concerning."
The little one's face turned red, and she remained speechless for a while.
"Qiaoqiao, what would you like for breakfast?"
"Shrimp dumplings and cubilose porridge," the little one responded impassively.
"Wow, Hubby truly knows his wife's preferences. I've already prepared it for you."
Though the little one kept a poker face, a faint smile lingered in her heart. She pursed her lips and commanded, "Put me down!"
"That's outrageous. With your petite size, you move at a snail's pace even with two steps. You're not even as tall as a basin! It's better for Hubby to carry you to the shower!"
You're short. Your entire Mo family is short!
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao criticized silently and snorted. "Place Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao on the stool."
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 wouldn't have dug my own pit of court disaster…
"Qiaoqiao, now that you've transformed like this, why don't you seize the chance to escape?"
"Waiting for you." 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.
"I've prepared a lavish breakfast for you early in the morning. Are you pleased?" Mo Lian smiled as he carried her out of the yurt. Pausing for a moment, he lowered his head to whisper, "Qiaoqiao changed her mind and stayed because of those people from Little Li Village, didn't she?"
Qiao Mu remained silent for a while, but eventually nodded. "If I don't show up, that guy Second Qin will likely lead people to massacre the village."
"Why do you say that?" Mo Lian's eyes flashed as he lowered his head, fixing his gaze on her small face.
Qiao Mu's heart tightened instantly, and she felt a bit parched.
Because she knew Second Qin's character better than anyone else.
They had spent so much time together back then. While Dottie's memories might be somewhat blurred, the pain engraved in her heart couldn't be dispelled.
She didn't want to deceive Qiaoqiao's Lian. She didn't want to lie about anything, so she said, "Didn't I tell you before that I had a long dream?"
Mo Lian's breathing became taut as he nodded.
"In my dream, I saw him and that person. The Second Qin in my dream is an incredibly stubborn individual."
"Though I might want to disregard the people of Little Li Village and escape alone, ultimately… I can't risk so many lives."
"I-I understand his personality. According to the him in the dream, he would attack. He wouldn't hesitate to use the lives of the entire Little Li Village to threaten me."
"I've pondered it thoroughly. Should I ignore all of this, or should I stay for those villagers I don't know?"
