Tao Lengshuang was annoyed by the noise and roared, "If you dare to make another sound, I'll make you mute for the rest of your lives!"
Hearing this, the Tao family dared not make a sound, but they pleaded with Tao Lengshuang in hushed tones.
"Lengshuang, won't you help your father and mother? No matter what, I gave birth to you and raised you for over a decade, and I even found you such a good husband."
"Little sister, little sister, help your big brother. Big brother has always been the best to you. Even this good marriage of yours was found by big brother for you."
"Lengshuang, we are sisters. If you don't help me, it's not right."
Tao Lengshuang turned a deaf ear and glanced indifferently at Mo Lingxi and the young man, "I don't know how to cure illnesses. You should find someone else."
With that, she was about to take Xiao Feng back to her room.
However, Mo Lingxi stopped her, and even Xiao Feng was unwilling to leave.
"Mom, please help cousin. Cousin is really, really good."
"Tao Lengshuang, you can name your price."
Tao Lengshuang couldn't bear to speak harshly to her son, but she didn't hesitate to retort to Mo Lingxi, "Name my price? So you can kill me?"
"Mo Lingxi, calling you heartless would be an insult to the word 'heartless'."
Not wanting to say another word to this person, she quickly returned to her room and slammed the door shut.
The loud bang made Xiao Feng and the young man tremble, and they both looked at Mo Lingxi.
"Uncle, you're not really thinking of... that, are you?" the young man asked softly.
Mo Lingxi asked Xiao Feng to return to his room.
Xiao Feng was a little reluctant, but he didn't dare to disobey his father. He pouted and returned to his room.
"She's very suspicious."
Mo Lingxi stood with his hands behind his back and said in a low voice, "The change is too great. From a wicked and foolish woman to someone who knows medicine and poison, is intelligent and has brains, and inexplicably treats me well."
The young man seemed to understand why Mo Lingxi thought this way and knew he was considering the bigger picture, "Uncle, have you ever considered one thing?"
"You are her husband. Shouldn't she be good to you?"
Mo Lingxi was stunned for a moment.
"Uncle, and one more thing. No matter why she changed, as long as she hasn't done anything harmful or endangered you, why do you need to overthink it?"
Mo Lingxi pursed his thin lips, his brows furrowed into a deep frown, and his eyes were dark and unfathomable.
The young man sighed, "Uncle, I understand your thoughts."
"If it's really as Uncle thinks, would you stay here peacefully? And would Xiao Feng be alright? Moreover, would she choose to stay here instead of returning with me under the guise of curing an illness?"
Sometimes, Uncle just thought too much and too complicatedly.
Mo Lingxi felt a sense of enlightenment, as if the fog had suddenly cleared, "It's true, but she's still very suspicious."
The young man could understand, "In the current situation, one must be very careful."
"Uncle, I suggest you talk to her properly. In my opinion, she's unlikely to be that kind of person. If she were, with her medical and poisonous skills, would you and I be living so well?"
A truly skilled doctor could secretly poison someone and make them die without a sound.
Mo Lingxi pondered for a moment and entered Tao Lengshuang's room.
"Get out!"
Tao Lengshuang glared at him with narrowed eyes. With a flip of her hand, she produced a large handful of medicinal powder, "If you don't get out, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Mo Lingxi knew the potency of her powder and retreated to the doorway, "I..."
With a "bang."
The door was slammed shut in front of him, almost hitting his nose.
"Tao Lengshuang, I want to talk to you."
Tao Lengshuang didn't want to talk to Mo Lingxi at all, nor did she want to hear his voice. She simply checked the situation of her spatial medicinal garden.
The area of the spatial medicinal garden had increased from the initial two plots of land to six plots.
Six plots were still too few; she needed to transplant more medicinal herbs into the spatial medicinal garden.
Right, it shouldn't just be medicinal herbs; there should also be some grains and daily necessities.
This way, no matter what happened, she wouldn't have to worry too much.
"Tao Lengshuang, open the door. This time I really want to talk to you."
Seeing that Tao Lengshuang refused to open the door, Mo Lingxi called his son over, "Xiao Feng, help your father and ask your mother to open the door."
Xiao Feng, however, puffed out his cheeks and refused. He crossed his arms and huffed, "Daddy is bad. He made Mommy unhappy and treated Mommy like that. Xiao Feng won't help you."
He waved his fists a few times, "Xiao Feng is on Mommy's side. Xiao Feng wants to protect Mommy."
Mo Lingxi: "...Won't you protect Daddy?"
Xiao Feng shook his head like a rattle drum, repeatedly saying he wouldn't protect Daddy, "Daddy is a big man, he doesn't need Xiao Feng to protect him."
"Mommy is a weak woman and needs Xiao Feng to protect her."
Mo Lingxi was speechless for a moment. Was Tao Lengshuang a weak woman? Did Xiao Feng misunderstand the meaning of "weak woman"?
"Daddy, if you apologize to Mommy properly, Mommy might forgive you."
Xiao Feng said very seriously, "Every time Xiao Feng makes a mistake, if Xiao Feng sincerely apologizes, Mommy will forgive me."
Mo Lingxi thought to himself that it was completely different, "Xiao Feng, help Daddy go in first."
"If Daddy doesn't go in, how can he apologize to your mother?"
Xiao Feng thought it made sense, so he knocked on the door, "Mommy, open the door. Daddy said he's willing to kneel and apologize to you."
Just as Mo Lingxi was about to scold Xiao Feng, the door suddenly opened.
Tao Lengshuang stood at the doorway, looking at him with a smile, "Oh, you're going to kneel and apologize."
"Go ahead and kneel, I'm watching."
The veins on Mo Lingxi's forehead throbbed. His handsome face was as dark as ink, "You believe the childish words of Xiao Feng?"
Tao Lengshuang smiled insincerely, "Why shouldn't I believe it?"
"Don't you dare use Xiao Feng being a child and his words being unreliable to shut me up."
Mo Lingxi was amused to the point of anger. He lightly flicked Xiao Feng's forehead and looked at Tao Lengshuang indifferently, "If I really knelt, could you bear it?"
Thinking of his possible identity, Tao Lengshuang really didn't dare to let him kneel. If this man was petty and sought revenge later, she would have nowhere to cry.
Without revealing anything on her face, she raised her head slightly, "Then, you mean you did nothing wrong?"
Mo Lingxi truly didn't think he had done anything wrong. In his position and in such a situation, he had to be careful about everything, not even making a single misstep.
If he took one wrong step, not only he but also countless others would die.
"You wouldn't understand my situation," he sighed softly.
Tao Lengshuang could somewhat understand Mo Lingxi's situation and knew how difficult it would be for someone like him in the current circumstances.
"This is not a reason for you to arbitrarily suspect me or even try to take my life."
