Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

The dining hall in Dingbei Prefecture was warm and inviting.

The chill outside the window had not yet dissipated, but inside, the aroma of food filled the air, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting.

The long table was laden with exquisite breakfast dishes.

The warm eight-treasure porridge exudes a sweet and glutinous aroma, while the freshly fried dough sticks are golden and crispy.

Several baskets of crystal shrimp dumplings with thin skins and delicious fillings are so tempting to look at.

Lin Mo changed into a clean black casual outfit and sat lazily in the main seat.

Su Qingyue, standing beside him, was gentle in her eyes and carefully serving him food.

On the other side, Qin Ruxue, after taking a bath, also changed into a neat martial arts outfit, looking heroic and imposing.

Only the slightly reddened earlobes betrayed the enchanting spring scenery that had just passed.

Liu Yiyi rested her chin on one hand and held a small charcoal pencil in the other, sketching and drawing on the account book.

Those alluring peach blossom eyes shimmered with a golden light.

Gu Meng'er lowered her head and sipped her porridge slowly.

Her little face was flushed, whether from the heat or from shyness, it was hard to tell.

Gu Ling'er, however, held a large meat bun and didn't touch it.

Her bright, sparkling eyes stared intently at Lin Mo, like a hungry little wildcat fixated on the dried fish.

"My lord, you haven't slept all night, you must be starving!"

Su Qingyue spoke softly, pushing a bowl of homemade plain noodles toward Lin Mo.

The noodles lay in the clear broth, topped with a golden poached egg.

A few bright green scallions dot the scene, emitting a delightful aroma.

"My wife still loves me the most."

Lin Mo smiled as he took the bowl of noodles, picked up a mouthful of noodles with his chopsticks, and slurped it down.

Then he closed his eyes, looking completely absorbed.

"Mmm...delicious!"

He mumbled a praise, swallowed the noodles, and smacked his lips with lingering satisfaction.

"As expected, Qingyue noodles are the best! They're chewy, smooth, and have an unforgettable aftertaste!"

Liu Yiyi, who was busy calculating, paused for a moment while holding the charcoal pencil.

She raised her eyelids, her captivating peach blossom eyes glancing sideways at Lin Mo, their light shimmering.

[Liu Yiyi's inner thoughts]: Husband, really! You're being so improper first thing in the morning!

Su Qingyue's originally gentle and pretty face was instantly flushed.

She gently pinched Lin Mo under the table with her jade-like hand and said reproachfully:

"You're so unruly! Hurry up and eat!"

Qin Ruxue picked up a soup dumpling with a blank expression, but inwardly she was cursing it out.

[Qin Ruxue's inner thoughts]: You filthy scoundrel! You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth! So...so vulgar!

Lin Mo didn't care about the little drama unfolding in their minds.

Last night's victory was a great success, and I'm in high spirits right now, with a very good appetite.

Just then, a gaze filled with obsession was fixed on him.

"Uncle..."

Gu Ling'er finally couldn't hold back any longer.

She dropped the big steamed bun in her hand, moved to Lin Mo's side, and pitifully tugged at his sleeve.

"Good uncle, dear uncle..."

As she spoke, she nuzzled Lin Mo's arm with her little head, her voice soft and sweet, full of coquettishness.

Earlier at the gate of the mansion, Gu Ling'er spotted those dark, lumps of iron at a glance.

She was about to pounce on him, but was ruthlessly stopped by the guards.

"No one may move without the Lord's order."

One sentence was enough to deflate Gu Ling'er instantly.

Throughout the journey, she was restless and anxious, and in the end, she could only place all her hopes on Lin Mo.

"Is it okay~"

"Good uncle, just give me all those dark, lumps of iron!"

Lin Mo put down his chopsticks and looked at the clingy little devil with amusement.

"That's not called a lump of iron, that's called extraterrestrial meteorite."

"Yes, yes, yes! Extraterrestrial meteorite!"

Gu Ling'er's eyes lit up instantly.

She excitedly spread her arms and gestured to indicate her name.

"Uncle, you don't know! That's a treasure among treasures!"

"With these, I promise!"

She puffed out her chest and made a firm vow.

"I can create the most powerful Thunderfire Bomb in the world!"

"The kind that can flatten a hilltop with a single shot!"

"When the time comes, anyone who dares to mess with us, we'll blow their house to bits!"

The little girl became more and more excited as she spoke.

It was as if he could already see himself wielding thunder and fire, sweeping across the world in magnificent glory.

Seeing Gu Ling'er's impatient look, Lin Mo had a sudden thought and decided to tease her.

He slowly took another bite of noodles, whetting her appetite before finally speaking.

"Fourth Sister-in-law."

"Uh-huh!"

Gu Ling'er nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Have you ever heard the saying?

"What did you say?"

Gu Ling'er looked on with a thirst for knowledge.

Lin Mo put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and his expression became inscrutable.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

"what?"

Gu Ling'er was stunned.

Her big eyes were filled with confusion.

She tilted her head, trying to process the meaning of those words.

Lunch? Free lunch?

What does that mean?

The atmosphere in the dining room became subtle.

Liu Yiyi's lips couldn't help but curl up slightly.

A look of anticipation, like watching a good show, appeared on Qin Ruxue's face.

They all wanted to see how Lin Mo, the big bad wolf, would "bully" Gu Ling'er, the silly little rabbit, this time.

A good ten seconds or so passed.

A sudden flash of inspiration struck Gu Ling'er!

She finally... understood!

"oops!"

She slapped her thigh, her eyes instantly filled with a clear sense of sudden realization.

"Okay, okay!"

She leaned close to Lin Mo's ear, giving him an expression that said, "We're on the same side."

"It's just... wearing that cat costume and giving you a massage!"

Lin Mo's lips curled into a knowing smile.

This child is teachable!

He was about to nod, indicating that "you're very perceptive."

Gu Ling'er suddenly patted her chest.

Suddenly, he radiated a tragic light of "dedication to science"!

"Uncle, let me tell you something!"

She suddenly stood up straight and announced in a clear voice.

"If you agree to give me those extraterrestrial meteorites!"

"Don't even mention wearing a cat costume!"

"Even if I don't wear anything, that's fine too!"

"puff--!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the mouthful of noodle soup that Lin Mo had just drunk instantly turned into a cloud of water mist and sprayed out.

"Cough cough cough—!!!"

Almost at the same time.

Qin Ruxue, who was next to him, also choked on a mouthful of fragrant porridge, her face turning red and she coughed violently, completely losing her composure.

The entire dining room instantly became lively.

Su Qingyue's chopsticks fell to the table with a "clatter," and her gentle and virtuous face changed color from pink to deathly white, and then to a redness that seemed to drip blood.

She pointed at Gu Ling'er, her lips trembling.

"Ling... Ling'er!"

"What...what nonsense are you spouting!"

The charcoal pencil in Liu Yiyi's hand clattered to the ground, and her eyes, which always gleamed with shrewdness, widened in surprise.

Her rosy lips parted slightly, and she completely forgot to think.

This little sister... she's too fierce!

Are you really willing to go to such lengths for those extraterrestrial meteorites?

Gu Meng'er had completely curled up into a ball.

The little girl covered her face tightly with both hands.

Scalding hot air escaped from between my fingers; I wished I could disappear into a crack in the ground right then and there.

Sister... how could you say such a thing!

This is so...so embarrassing! Waaah...

In the entire canteen, only Gu Ling'er, the instigator, still looked completely bewildered.

She looked at the crowd's earth-shattering reaction, her clear eyes filled with innocence.

Did I say something wrong?

Isn't this offer sincere enough?

Lin Mo wiped the soup off his face, finally managing to recover from the violent coughing.

He looked at Gu Ling'er, who was standing with her chest puffed out and a look that said, "I'm going all out, praise me now."

For a moment, I didn't know how to respond.

What exactly is the structure of this girl's brain?

Seeing that Lin Mo was hesitant to express his opinion, Gu Ling'er assumed that he was not satisfied with the "bargaining chips" she had offered.

She panicked!

"Uncle! Don't stay silent!"

"If you think that's not enough, I... I can..."

"Gu! Ling! Er!"

A huff of shame and indignation suddenly exploded like a thunderclap from a clear sky!

Su Qingyue finally recovered from her shock.

She suddenly stood up.

That gentle and beautiful face was now filled with malice and frost, her phoenix eyes wide open, revealing for the first time the majesty of the matriarch in front of everyone.

Gu Ling'er was so frightened by her appearance that she shuddered and instinctively shrank her neck.

"Big...Big Sister?"

The next second, Su Qingyue had already quickly walked around the long table and grabbed Gu Ling'er's ear!

"Ouch, ouch, ouch—!"

Gu Ling'er let out a scream and jumped up.

"Ouch! Ouch! What are you doing, lady?! Be gentle! My ear's going to fall off!"

Su Qingyue was so angry that her pretty face turned pale. She completely ignored her pleas for mercy and increased the pressure on her hand by three points.

"What should I do?"

"You shameless brat!"

"How could you say such outrageous things in front of everyone?!"

"I...I didn't say anything offensive!"

Gu Ling'er was in so much pain that her eyes were filled with tears, but she was still trying to defend herself.

"I just... want to make a deal with my uncle! A fair deal!"

"Trade my ass!"

Su Qingyue was filled with shame and indignation, and dragged her out of the dining room by her ear.

"You come out here!"

"If I, as your older sister, don't teach you a lesson about propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame today, I'm not a Su!"

"Ah—! Big sister, I was wrong! I was really wrong!"

"Uncle, save me!!"

"Sister Liu, save me!"

"Second sister! You have to do something about eldest sister! She's trying to murder her own sister!"

Gu Ling'er's screams, accompanied by Su Qingyue's angry shout of "No pleading allowed," gradually faded into the distance.
