The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

Chapter 355 Tell Me About Your Past

When the dragon clan was in turmoil because of the disappearance of Bai Zhi and Mo Lintian, the two parties had already taken the teleportation array to Yuecheng.

Their purpose was very clear, which was to go to the elves to look for Su Qingning, and the elves were in the Moonlight Forest a hundred miles outside Yuecheng City.

It was already dusk when Mo Lintian and Bai Zhi were teleported to Yuecheng. Mo Lintian had originally planned to stay in Yuecheng for one night and leave the city early the next morning, considering his mother's poor health.

But he was thinking about his mother. How could Bai Zhi, as a mother, not consider her son? Besides, she also wanted to meet her daughter-in-law as soon as possible.

"No, let's get out of the city before it gets dark!" Bai Zhi said.

Mo Lintian frowned and wanted to persuade her a few more times, but Bai Zhi didn't wait for him to speak and pulled him towards the city gate.

"Okay, okay, let's go quickly, or the city gate will be closed."

Seeing that Bai Zhi had made up her mind, Mo Lintian stopped trying to persuade her and obediently followed her out of the city.

After leaving Moon City, it was getting dark before they reached the Moonlight Forest. Fortunately, before it got completely dark, Mo Lintian found a cave where he could rest for a while.

Mo Lin was naturally hot-tempered. After letting Bai Zhi sit down and rest, he went outside the cave and sprinkled some animal repellent powder.

"Crackling..."

The fire was burning, and the orange-yellow flames illuminated the dim cave, adding a touch of warmth to the cold night.

Baizhi sat beside the warm fire, looking at her son who was adding firewood to the fire from time to time. Her eyes were gentle but with a hint of guilt and sigh.

His eyebrows were like ink paintings, his eyes were like stars, his facial features were three-dimensional and distinct, and his natural handsomeness was mixed with indescribable sharpness and nobility. Even though he was in a desolate cave at this moment, it did not diminish his innate noble temperament in the slightest.

It has to be said that whether in appearance or temperament, Mo Lintian and his biological father, the Dragon Emperor, are at least 80% similar.

"Tian'er, tell me about your past!" Bai Zhi said, "I want to know more about you."

Mo Lintian paused his movements and looked up at Bai Zhi. When he saw the caution and expectation in her eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse.

Although Mo Lintian appears to be cold and arrogant, he is actually very soft-hearted towards the people he cares about. Although he and Bai Zhi have only been together for a few days, from the day he called Bai Zhi "Mom", he accepted this biological mother from the bottom of his heart.

"What do you want to know?" Mo Lintian asked.

"Anything is fine." Bai Zhi said expectantly, "You can tell me about your childhood, or the story between you and Miss Su."

"Things from your childhood?" Mo Lintian's eyes became deep, as if lost in memories. He slowly spoke, "As far as I can remember, the one who has been by my side has been my brother. He is nominally my brother, but he always takes care of me like a father. He personally handles everything concerning me..."

From Mo Lintian's story, Bai Zhi could hear his respect for his brother Mo Linyuan, and also heard how deep the relationship between the two brothers was.

At the same time, Bai Zhi was also full of gratitude towards Mo Linyuan, grateful that he took such good care of her son and gave Mo Lintian fatherly love and affection.

Mo Lintian was still slowly talking about his past. Now, he talked about the first time he met Su Qingning.

"When I first met Xiao Ning'er, she was killing someone."

"what?!"

Baizhi widened her eyes in shock. Is it so exciting?

However, what she didn't know was that something even more exciting was yet to come.

Mo Lintian continued, "At that time, I was wondering how a ten-year-old girl could kill two people without changing her expression and then calmly destroy the bodies."

"Wait!" Bai Zhi suddenly interrupted Mo Lintian. She looked up at him in astonishment and asked uncertainly, "What did you just say? How old was your wife when she killed someone?"

Mo Lintian could understand Bai Zhi's shock, because he was also surprised at that time. Of course, he was more curious at that time.

"Ten years old." Mo Lintian answered proudly.

After getting a definite answer, Bai Zhi's mood suddenly became a little complicated.

Is my daughter-in-law really that cruel? Can I scare her that day? Is she bullying me every day?

Bai Zhi was worried, and there was a hint of pity and sympathy in her eyes when she looked at Mo Lintian.

As soon as Mo Lintian met Bai Zhi's gaze, he knew what she was thinking. He didn't want his mother to have any misunderstandings about Su Qingning, so he wanted to explain to his wife.

"Mom, do you think Xiao Ning'er is a little fierce?" Mo Lintian asked.

That's not just a little fierce, it's clearly cruel.

While thinking this in her heart, Bai Zhi shook her head with a serious expression, "No, I don't think it's that fierce."

Mo Lintian smiled. He knew that his mother was afraid that he would be angry, so she lied to him.

"Mom, you don't have to be so careful." Mo Lintian said, "Actually, at first, I also thought Xiao Ning'er was quite cruel."

"Oh?" Bai Zhi was a little interested. "What happened next? Why do you think she wasn't cruel? Was it because of love?"

It is said that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Bai Zhi believed that her son might have changed his mind because he fell in love with her daughter-in-law.

"Later..." Mo Lintian seemed to remember something, and his eyes suddenly became extremely gentle. "After spending some time together, I found that Xiao Ning'er is actually a very loyal and soft-hearted person."

"As long as it's someone she cares about, she will protect them even if it means risking her own life. For example, once, I was poisoned and on the verge of death. In order to save me, she directly exposed her identity as a poison master."

"Also, she knew from the beginning that the four maids around her were placed by someone with ulterior motives, but she didn't kill them. Instead, she gave them a chance and used them for her own purposes."

After hearing what Mo Lintian said, Bai Zhi's opinion of Su Qingning changed a little.

Maybe it seems that the daughter-in-law is not so cruel.

"Then...why did she kill those two people?"

Bai Zhi still cared a little about this matter, especially since Su Qingning was only ten years old at that time, still just a child. She found it a little unacceptable that she could be so cruel at such a young age.

"Because they want to harm her!" Mo Lintian said.

"Hmm?" Bai Zhi frowned. Things seemed a little different from what she thought.

In order to dispel Bai Zhi's misunderstanding of Su Qingning, Mo Lintian had to quickly recount the grievances and entanglements between the Su family and Su Qingning's family of three.

Of course, Mo Lintian did not tell Bai Zhi about Su Qingning's rebirth, but he emphasized Liu Ruyan's plan for Su Qingning's family. His purpose was to tell Bai Zhi that Su Qingning was not killing for no reason, she was fighting back and protecting herself.
