Mo Lingxi felt a stab in his heart: "...You're really a leaky little cotton jacket. At this time, shouldn't you be speaking up for Dad?"
Xiao Feng turned his head away: "I don't want to side with Dad and make Mom unhappy. Dad, you really have no foresight."
Mo Lingxi flicked his forehead lightly and stood up, saying to Sheng Lengshuang, "Your son is indeed remarkable."
Sheng Lengshuang glanced at him: "As if he's not your son. If I could have a child by myself, what would I need a grown man like you for?"
Mo Lingxi didn't know where to start complaining; there were simply too many things to complain about.
"That's why I say, Dad really doesn't know how to talk, and always makes Mom angry." Xiao Feng shook his head like a little adult, sighing repeatedly: "Dad, at this time, shouldn't you be praising Mom, saying how amazing Mom is at teaching children, and even more amazing is Mom?"
"As a result, after what Dad said, I really doubt if you have any roots of affection."
Mo Lingxi pondered: "Saying it this way, would your mother be happy?"
Xiao Feng held his forehead and said weakly: "Dad, I really can't teach you anymore. It's not about whether Mom will be happy, but whether you know how to coax people. How can you coax people like this? You'll only push Mom further and further away."
Sheng Lengshuang stood there smiling, watching how her son would teach his father to pursue her.
General Sheng and his wife were also watching the show.
Mo Lingxi seemed to understand a little: "You mean, with your mother, don't say unpleasant things, just say pleasant things to make her happy."
Xiao Feng nodded vigorously: "Everyone likes to hear nice words, especially women, they like to hear nice words even more."
Mo Lingxi understood and patted his head: "Alright, from now on, I'll only say nice things to your mother."
Xiao Feng let out a sigh, looking distressed: "Dad, you have to work hard, don't rely on me for everything, I really can't do anything more."
Sheng Lengshuang let out a chuckle, twisting Xiao Feng's ear with one hand: "Xiao Feng, Mom really wants to know where you learned all this from?"
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Mom, it really hurts!" Xiao Feng grimaced in pain but dared not struggle: "This doesn't need to be learned, you can tell from watching Grandpa."
Sheng Lengshuang glanced at her father, then at Mo Lingxi, and tutted: "As expected, a stark contrast."
Mo Lingxi: "..." He really couldn't compare to his father-in-law; everyone knew how good his father-in-law was at coaxing his mother-in-law.
General Sheng laughed heartily: "Xiao Feng is a smart and good child. Learning these things will be beneficial for him in the future. Unlike his father, who has no talent in these matters."
Mo Lingxi, whose heart was stabbed again, began to reflect. Was he really that bad at coaxing his wife?
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's all go back and rest." Madam Sheng said with a gentle smile: "Lengshuang, you must be tired too. Your father and I will take Xiao Feng."
Sheng Lengshuang saw Xiao Feng's reluctance and dependence, and said to Madam Sheng: "Please take care of him for a while, Mom. When I've rested, I'll pick Xiao Feng up. I haven't spent much time with him lately."
Madam Sheng chided: "What trouble, what trouble! Mom doesn't like to hear such words. You rest well, your father and I will take good care of Xiao Feng."
"Alright, your father and I are taking Xiao Feng, you go rest." She and General Sheng led Xiao Feng away.
Sheng Lengshuang pressed her temples and walked towards her courtyard.
Mo Lingxi followed behind: "Am I really not good at making you happy?"
"That depends on what aspect?"
"What do you mean?"
Sheng Lengshuang gave Mo Lingxi a look that said 'think about it yourself'. When a certain man wanted benefits, his sweet words flowed out like they were free, a whole basketful. Conversely, this man couldn't utter a single nice word.
Mo Lingxi scratched his head, unable to figure it out: "Give me a little hint."
Sheng Lengshuang didn't want to dwell on this matter: "Even if you've figured it out, I won't agree to get back together with you. If you have this time, you should think about how to resolve these matters quickly and avoid bigger troubles."
Mo Lingxi didn't want to discuss this. He took Sheng Lengshuang's hand and hooked her palm with his finger: "I just want to discuss our matters. This is the most important thing to me."
The ticklish sensation in her palm reached Sheng Lengshuang's heart, sending waves of tingling through her: "Prince Mingrui, if you have something to say, say it. Stop being so touchy-feely."
She tried to pull her hand away, but failed.
Mo Lingxi held her hand tightly: "I told you, I want to discuss our matters properly. As for being touchy-feely, I really wasn't. I was just hooking your palm."
Sheng Lengshuang witnessed this person's thick skin and shamelessness again: "Prince Mingrui, I've told you, I won't get back together with you. Give up on that idea."
Mo Lingxi said indifferently: "It's fine if we don't get back together, this way is also good."
Sheng Lengshuang's mouth twitched, and she slapped him: "Are you trying to make me a mistress, or keep me without a proper title?"
Mo Lingxi said aggrievedly: "It's you who are unwilling to give me a title, but you're saying I don't give you one. I'd love to give you a title, but you don't want it."
Sheng Lengshuang said with disdain: "Whoever wants your title can have it. Also, stop playing these tricks. I won't fall for them."
"...Then what tricks of mine do you fall for?"
"I don't fall for any of your tricks. Alright, I need to rest. Go wherever it's cool, and don't bother me here."
Mo Lingxi's eyes rolled: "I'll sleep with you?"
Then, a certain prince was kicked over and immobilized by Sheng Lengshuang with medicine.
The strange posture caused the servants passing by to cover their mouths and chuckle. Prince Mingrui was once again dealt with by the young lady, how pitiful.
Mo Lingxi: "..." His wife was really difficult to coax.
...
Two days later, the chaos caused by Sima Min had subsided. However, the current emperor issued a decree, ordering a thorough search for Sima Min and her accomplices. Anyone who dared to harbor or assist them would be exterminated along with their nine generations of relatives.
Under these circumstances, Sima Min and her group were chased like stray dogs, scurrying everywhere.
"Chase quickly! Sima Min and them are over there, we can't let them escape!"
Sima Min, looking extremely disheveled, had no regard for her appearance. Cold sweat streamed down her face as she ran forward non-stop, occasionally looking back at the pursuers behind her, fearing she would be caught.
"Quick, take me away!" she commanded the masked men protecting her.
These masked men didn't not want to help Sima Min escape, but there were simply too many pursuers. They alone couldn't take Sima Min away, yet they couldn't abandon this woman.
After running for a while, Sima Min and her group were surrounded by a large group of soldiers.
Sima Min immediately turned to run.
As a result, there were heavy pursuers behind her as well.
