Chapter 5118: 5.0870 Mixed Feelings

Wei Ziqin was momentarily delighted, then worried. "Qiaoqiao, why didn't you stay at the residence? If anything happened, you could have just sent someone to inform us."

The little stoic waved her hand. "Mom, I'm doing great! Our little Mo baby is very well-behaved, not troublesome at all."

As she spoke, she gently patted her belly. Wei Ziqin couldn't help but feel a fresh wave of melancholy and concern. Her daughter still had a childlike temperament, yet she was about to become a mother herself. Wei Ziqin was worried and happy, sorrowful and joyful all at once. Her emotions were fluctuating up and down, a truly bittersweet experience.

"Oh dear, look at me, so busy talking to you two, I completely forgot to introduce!"

"This is Madam Huainan Bo, a new friend Mother has made."

Having been so preoccupied with chatting with her daughter and son-in-law, Wei Ziqin felt quite apologetic for her impolite neglect of her guest.

Madam Huainan Bo stepped forward a few paces and respectfully bowed to Mo Lian and Qiao Mu. "This subject's wife greets His Highness the Crown Prince, and Her Highness the Crown Princess."

Crown Prince Mo always presented a "little white rabbit" demeanor in front of his mother-in-law. So, no matter how domineering he was outside, in front of Wei Ziqin and Qiao Zhongbang, he always feigned a kind and gentle appearance, like a spring breeze. Wei Ziqin always thought her son-in-law had an exceptionally good temperament and often worried if he would be able to handle the local Divine Continent officials when he went out to conduct affairs. She even frequently advised her daughter in private not to always bully Little Mo, who had no temper, or exploit him, to the point where Qiaoqiao Daren's ears almost callused.

This fellow was adept at putting on an act in front of his mother-in-law, and Qiaoqiao Daren had shown her disdain several times. Now, Crown Prince Mo smiled again, looking gentle and jade-like, and spoke softly to Madam Huainan Bo, who was kneeling in礼, "Madam needs not be so polite. You are Mother-in-law's friend, and thus my elder. Please rise."

Qiaoqiao Daren secretly gave her husband a scornful look.

Mother always worried that Little Mo's "goody-two-shoes" nature would likely cause him to suffer losses outside. But alas, her Little Mo was not at all the personality he displayed in front of her!

Madam Huainan Bo coughed twice, then stood up with a smile and said, "This subject's wife came specifically to deliver an invitation to Sister Wei today. Since the invitation has been delivered, I shall not disturb Your Highness's family reunion time."

Wei Ziqin smiled and said, "I have truly been remiss. Madam has come all this way, and now leaves so quickly. I shall see Madam off."

After Wei Ziqin returned from seeing off Madam Huainan Bo, she saw her son-in-law standing alone in front of the pavilion, his beautiful phoenix eyes looking at her pitifully. Wei Ziqin's heart softened, and she quickly walked up and asked, "Little Mo, where's Qiaoqiao? Why are you here alone?"

"Qiaoqiao went to see her sister-in-law Shaoyao." As a grown man, it was naturally not appropriate for him to go. His little wife had heartlessly abandoned him here and gone off by herself.陌, the little monkey, Kongkong, and Guangguang had all gone with her, a whole string of them, so wasn't he left all alone and forlorn!

Wei Ziqin found it a bit amusing, but seeing her son-in-law's pitiful look, she also felt a little sorry for him. She quickly said, "Your father and second uncle will be back soon from their outing. Mother will take you to the front courtyard to sit for a while. Qiaoqiao probably won't be looking for too long; she'll be out soon."
