Chapter 78 You Ate Our Carrier Pigeon

The emperor was puzzled.

"Don't you like her very much? Why are you sending people to look for her everywhere?"

"If you like her, should you let her be a female official?" Mo Lingwei asked coldly.

The emperor was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

He also wanted to make Mo Lingwei happy, so he had this plan.

After all, his son did all kinds of bad things and was ruthless and cruel, but he finally retained a trace of humanity towards Shen Ningning.

The emperor wanted to use Shen Ningning as a sign to bring the father and son closer.

However, Mo Lingwei was like a wolf whose tail was stepped on, and immediately showed a fierce look.

"Don't mention this matter again in the future, let alone think about trapping her in the palace." His voice was very cold.

The emperor opened his mouth and was about to say something.

Mo Lingwei seemed to have guessed it, and he interrupted coldly: "Don't send people to disturb her."

The emperor then closed his mouth.

After a while, he sighed heavily, and his figure was elongated by the candlelight, like a tired old wolf.

"Ling Wei, father has no other intentions, just want to make you happy."

"Don't touch her, let her live freely, don't disturb her, I will be happy."

The emperor was silent for a moment, nodded: "I know."

After sitting for a while, the father and son were speechless, and the emperor had to leave.

Not long after he left, Chen Shaobei came.

Mo Lingwei was practicing calligraphy, his breath was calm, his jade-like hands held the pen, but the words he wrote seemed to have the sound of weapons, with the sharpness of killing.

Glancing at Chen Shaobei from the corner of his eye, he glanced at him: "Visiting so late, is there anything?"

Chen Shaobei cupped his fist: "I heard that the emperor came to ask your opinion on taking Miss Shen into the palace. I know your personality and I am afraid that you will quarrel, so I came to see you. I hope your Highness is okay."

Mo Lingwei sneered and his eyes fell on the paper again.

"He has been the emperor for a long time, and everyone agrees with him. My rebuttal did make him angry, but he didn't fight."

Chen Shaobei nodded and said, "That's right. No matter how ridiculous your highness is, he will not fight with the emperor."

Mo Lingwei glanced at him coldly: "He can't beat me."

Chen Shaobei choked.

The emperor and the prince did fight.

On the day when the late queen came out.

The father and son argued in the mourning hall, and the prince took the lead in punching the emperor.

The ministers came to pull them apart, but they were all injured by Mo Lingwei.

The look in his eyes at that time was like a bloody wolf cub.

Protecting in front of the late queen's coffin, whoever came could tear open his neck.

The emperor angrily accused him of being unfilial, but only Chen Shaobei knew what Mo Lingwei had experienced.

"At that time, the late queen..." Chen Shaobei said in a deep voice.

But Mo Lingwei didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.

He interrupted directly and asked: "How is Shen Ningning doing recently?"

Chen Shaobei came back to his senses: "County Magistrate Fu took good care of her and asked the students in the private school to go to Jingshan Villa with Miss Shen to have fun. She will be back in two days."

Mo Lingwei's writing became smoother.

He smiled lightly: "Jingshan is so hot, can she bear it? Forget it, let's go to Jingshan to pick her up in two days."

Chen Shaobei nodded, and then hesitated and said: "But... I heard that Qin Fangmei also went to that private school to study."

The slightly gentle smile on Mo Lingwei's face immediately turned cold.

He raised his head: "Qin Fangmei?"

"Yes, the youngest daughter of Wang Guihong who was burned to death. After Wang Guihong died, she was taken home by her uncle Du Yuanwai to take care of her."

So, Qin Fangmei went to the private school to study, which was also arranged by Du Yuanwai.

Mo Lingwei narrowed his eyes.

"What is Qin Sheng, whom I asked you to send someone to watch, doing now?"

"He had one hand bitten off by a wolf. No one wants him anywhere. Now he can only do hard labor and has a hard life."

After Chen Shaobei finished speaking, Mo Lingwei put down his pen, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and looked up at the bright moon.

"It's really interesting." He sneered.

Chen Shaobei was puzzled.

Mo Lingwei said faintly: "Mr. Du helped his sister-in-law's child, but let his brother-in-law fend for himself."

Chen Shaobei nodded slightly: "It's really strange. He seems to take extra care of Qin Fangmei."

After a moment of silence.

Mo Lingwei asked Chen Shaobei to continue to send people to watch Qin Sheng and Qin Fangmei.

He had a hunch in his heart.

The Qin family's targeting of Shen Ningning was not as simple as abusing the child.

There was another hidden story.

...

After dawn.

The hope that Mr. Huang was waiting for did not appear.

The two carrier pigeons did not fly back.

The manager of the villa sighed and said to him: "There is a shortage of everything outside. Maybe someone will catch and eat you."

This is not a good sign.

Master Huang did not make a fuss, fearing that the students would be scared.

However, the food for everyone that day was reduced by half.

Especially water. Master Huang required each person to drink only two cups of water per hour.

This caused resistance and dissatisfaction among many students.

But Lu Shaoyuan secretly grabbed Shen Ningning.

"Every time you drink water, you should be frugal. Don't drink all the two cups you are given."

The little guy blinked his round black eyes: "What's wrong?"

Lu Shaoyuan pursed his lips and glanced around.

He lowered his voice: "I suspect that Master and the others have not found a way to ask for help from the outside world. We may be trapped here for longer!"

"When it really comes to that moment, water becomes the most important thing. Don't give things to others generously. Keep what you have for yourself."

Shen Ningning opened her pink lips.

She wanted to say that she brought a lot of fruits out to comfort Lu Shaoyuan.

Unexpectedly, Lu Shaoyuan squeezed her hand tightly.

He said, "Remember my words!"

At this time, a classmate called him from behind, saying that Master Huang asked all the boys to go over.

Lu Shaoyuan left.

Shen Ningning returned to the room, and soon Ren Yu came back.

She was full of joy.

"Ren Yu, what are you happy about?"

"Ningning, you don't know yet, Master Huang just took the boys to the nearby mountains to dig wild vegetables, I haven't eaten stewed wild vegetables yet!"

Seeing her happy look, Shen Ningning pursed her lips, and her pink little face puffed up.

Ren Yu felt fresh, but the little guy thought the situation was serious.

If there was no less food in the villa, why would Master Huang take people to the mountains to find wild vegetables?

That night.

Shen Ningning only drank half a bowl of wild vegetable porridge.

The rice grains in the porridge were pitifully few, there was little water, and it was thick when cooked.

After she finished eating, she went back to the room and locked the door as usual.

She took out a bowl of egg custard from the fairyland and ate it first.

Then, she had a plate of cold beef shreds and stir-fried cabbage and tofu.

After eating, the little guy touched his belly with satisfaction.

The weather was hot, so she chilled the sour plum sweet water and drank it all up, feeling cool physically and mentally.

That's it.

Two days passed.

The villa was almost out of ammunition and food.

Early in the morning, before Shen Ningning woke up, she heard Ren Yu's scolding from downstairs.

"Why did you secretly roast the pigeon?"

"I caught it, and I didn't plan to enjoy it alone. I was just going to share it with everyone." It was Qin Fangmei's voice.

Soon, it attracted classmates who lived nearby.

The villa manager happened to pass by.

He suddenly stopped when he smelled the meat.

He rushed over and widened his eyes.

The eight-foot-tall man suddenly cried.

"You roasted the carrier pigeon?!"
