I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies

261 Wishful Thinking

This Madam Cen was Madam Du’s cousin and close friend. Five years ago, she married the county officer of the neighboring county, Cao Chong, so she had come to the banquet with them.

Not long ago, Madam Cen had come to visit her cousin. He had been soft-hearted and allowed them to meet. He didn’t expect that this would be the root of the problem, resulting in today’s disaster.

“Soft-hearted, I can actually be soft-hearted.”

Chen Luyu mumbled. When he opened his eyes again, a cold glint filled his eyes, and there was no longer a trace of expression on his face. The carriage also fell silent, without a single sound.

No matter how many people were happy or sad, Mo Ruyue was the biggest winner. And tomorrow, she would retire and go home to live her life.

She had already obtained the blood she wanted. Duanmu Xize would send someone to deliver the ores she needed to the designated place after she returned home. As for the money, someone had already sent the silver notes to Huichun Hall and was waiting for her to return to count the money.

Mo Ruyue had spent his last night in Ping City by going to bed early.

The next morning, when the city gates opened, Mo Ruyue rode out of the city and left Ping City without looking back.

At this moment, Duanmu Xize had already arrived at the residence. After hearing the report from the person he had sent to monitor the situation, he laughed at himself. “This woman left so quickly. but it doesn’t matter. She will come back willingly sooner or later.”

Mo Ruyue galloped at full speed, her heart set on returning home like an arrow. The big black horse seemed to have sensed her desire to go home. It galloped at a high speed, like a flash of lightning in the dark night. If it wasn’t for Mo Ruyue’s excellent horse-controlling skills, she would have been sent flying long ago.

It was originally a journey that would take almost two days, but Mo Ruyue only spent less than a day to arrive. When she saw the big tree at the entrance of the Qin village, she suddenly stopped the big black horse.

The big black horse stood up and neighed loudly. It then stopped and paddled its hooves restlessly.

Mo Ruyue patted the big black horse’s neck lightly. “You miss home too, and you want to go home earlier, don’t you?”

The big black horse turned its head, as if it understood her words, and kept nodding its head while breathing heavily.

“Then let’s go home.”

Mo Ruyue smiled and shook the reins. The woman and horse galloped out like lightning.

In the courtyard of the Qin family’s eldest branch, the five babies were extremely busy.

Today was Aunt Liu’s birthday, and they wanted to prepare a table of good food to celebrate with her, to repay the care they had received from the Liu family.

The one in charge of cooking was naturally the fourth baby, Si Bao. He had grown a little taller now and did not need to step on a small bench to cook.

The other four babies, including Tang Tang, were all his helpers and were all ordered around by him.

“Big Brother, we’re celebrating Grandma Liu’s birthday today. When are you going to give Mother a kiss too?”

Tang Tang was about to take the dishes out when she suddenly turned to ask Da Bao.

“For mother?”

Da Bao was stunned for a moment. He then realized that they didn’t seem to know when his mother’s birthday was, let alone celebrate it for her.

“Didn’t we celebrate our birthdays too? This is not popular in our family, and maybe Mother does not like it.”

Da Bao shook his head. To him, every birthday before this was no different from any other day. He would be beaten and starved. He just had to make do with life and fulfill his wish of bringing up his younger siblings. There was no such thing as being happy or not.

However, when was his mother’s birthday?

“Mother, Mother is back!”

“Ah!” San Bao’s scream came from the courtyard and immediately interrupted Da Bao’s thoughts.

He suddenly turned his head and looked towards the courtyard. Tang Tang, on the other hand, cheered and ran out, even forgetting to put down the plate in her hand.

Before Da Bao could finish his sentence, Tang Tang had already rushed to the courtyard entrance. Although her legs were the shortest, the speed at which she was moving was not slow at all.

“Mother!”

“Mother!”

“Mother!”

The babies had not even seen Mo Ruyue’s figure and were already running out in a swarm, shouting loudly. They were as happy as a group of ducklings that had just been released from their nest.

Mo Ruyue got off her horse when she reached the village entrance and led the big black horse all the way home. It was already dark and there was not enough light. She thought that she would only be recognized by her babies when she entered the house. She did not expect to hear San Bao’s clear and loud shout when she was only halfway through.

Then, there was a flurry of footsteps, as if the babies were running towards them.

“It’s so dark, why are you running around!”

Mo Ruyue was shocked. She immediately threw down the big black horse’s reins and rushed in the direction of the babies. The big black horse was very intelligent and followed behind. It didn’t need anyone to pull it.

Although every household had lit oil lamps or candles, the light was not enough to illuminate the path outside the courtyard. It was really hard to imagine how San Bao could see and distinguish Mo Ruyue in such a situation.

The babies had just rushed out of the courtyard when Mo Ruyue was already outside. She was afraid that one of the babies would fall and get injured, so she even used a sleeve dart in her desperation. She arrived almost in the blink of an eye and just happened to catch San Bao, who was at the front.

“Mother, it’s really you. You’ve really returned! ”

San Bao buried his head into the warm and fragrant embrace. That familiar scent made him even more certain that the person hugging him was his mother without even looking at her face.

Tang Tang and Da Bao also pounced on Mo Ruyue’s body one after another. The plate in Tang Tang’s hand tilted, almost spilling the vegetables and soup on everyone.

“Be careful!”

Mo Ruyue quickly caught the plate and knew that Si Bao had made it as soon as she smelled the aroma of the dish.

“How did you know that mother was coming back? You even made such delicious dishes. Are you here to welcome Mother back? ”

That dish was very time-consuming. Unless it was to celebrate something, one would rarely have the time and patience to make it.

“Mother, we didn’t know you were coming back. Today is Grandmother Liu’s birthday. She and Grandfather Liu have taken care of us for so long, so the brothers said that we should celebrate with Grandmother Liu to express our gratitude.”

Ever since Tang Tang had pounced into Mo Ruyue’s arms, she had been sticking to her body like a little rice cake. She really didn’t want to be separated from her for even a moment.

She answered her mother’s question as she stuck to her.

“Grandma Liu’s birthday…”

Mo Ruyue smiled bitterly. So she was overthinking things.

That’s right. Even she didn’t know that she would be coming home today, let alone the babies. They were just celebrating Grandma Liu’s birthday. This was an experience that she had never experienced before.

As far as she could remember, she had been in the assassin training camp. She didn’t know who her parents were, and she had no companions to rely on. The only thing she had to do every day was to survive, by all means necessary.

That was why she had no idea when her birthday was, and she had no idea what it was like to celebrate her birthday.

“Mother, older brothers also said that we still don’t know when Mother’s birthday is. When Mother returns, we must ask her properly. In the future, when that day comes, we will also celebrate Mother’s birthday!”
