What did Mo Lin go through before this?

Regarding Xiao Qing Ran's question, even if it wasn't important, he still refused to answer it.

Fortunately, the wind was fast, so he quickly picked up his food and came back.

That didn't make Maureen think she was a kind trafficker.

Xiao Qing Shui allowed Li Er to distribute the food to the children. Seeing them gobbling up the food, Xiao Qing Qing looked at Mo Lin with a smile: ”Are you sure you don't want to talk to me?”

Mo Lin clenched his fists and kept quiet, but when he saw the happy faces of the children, he lowered his head.

Xiao Qing knew that her 'favor' wasn't as useless to him as he said. She chuckled, ”Come, let's talk outside.”

Mo Lin glanced at the children and followed them out on his walking stick.

When he walked out of the run-down temple, Xiao Qingyi had her back facing him and was reaching out her hand to break a dried up branch.

Mo Lin pursed his lips, his tone sounding a bit nervous, ”You're really not one of them?”

”If you're talking about Wei Chi's group, then my answer is yes.” Xiao Qinglan turned around and looked at him indifferently: ”I don't have anything to do with those people.”

Mo Lin anxiously said, ”You are the Royal Consort, and you are from Beijing?”

A few months ago, he had heard from those people that someone very respectable was coming to the capital.

Xiao Qing Ran nodded again: ”You have asked me so many questions, can you please answer one of mine? Why would those people want to capture you? ”

Mo Lin pursed his lips and shook his head, ”I don't know.”

”You don't know?” Xiao Qing Qing's eyes were filled with playfulness.

Mo Lin felt that he could not hide the secret in his heart under her gaze. ”I really don't know, but I was almost captured by the officials that time. I heard it from them … The mayor sent these children to the capital as if he wanted to become some spy. I really don't know anything else. ”

Xiao Qing furrowed her brows. She could roughly understand the reason behind Wei Chi's actions. These children were not tied down by each other, so after training, they were the easiest to control.

Seeing her expression change, Mo Lin thought that she was angry because of what happened. ”These children are all pitiful children without parents. They don't know anything. Can you let them go?”

”I said something bad just now. If you want to blame someone, then blame me. Don't implicate them.” He gritted his teeth, feeling extremely nervous.

”I don't care about what happened just now, so you don't need to be afraid. I called you out just to know what you plan to do in the future. ”

Mo Lin pursed his lips and shook his head.

In the future? It had never occurred to him that people like them could only say that a day's worth of life was worth a day's worth.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Qing Yun guessed right away. She put her hands together in front of her stomach: ”I just saw it, the youngest here is only eight or nine years old. Do you want them to live like this for the rest of their lives? ”

”Of course not, but what can I do? ”If my legs...” He paused, a pang of pain flashing across his eyes. ”People like you don't understand us.”

”People like us? You seem to know me very well. ” Xiao Qing raised her eyebrows.

Mo Lin did not speak.

Her eyes flashed and she suddenly laughed, ”Actually, you can also change your lifestyle. Do you want to know?”

”What?”

”Do something for me.” Xiao Qingran spoke in a deep voice: ”Do things for me. I will teach you the ability to stop being bullied and change your ways of life so that you can stand upright in this world.”

After a series of 'things' that startled Mo Lin, he had never thought that someone would say such things to him.

It was already fortunate that they were no longer bullied, but could they really change their way of life?

Seeing that he did not seem to be forced, Xiao Qing lightly flicked away the non-existent dust at the hem of her clothes: ”I won't force you, I just hope that you will consider the matter for those children. ”If you agree, then bring them to the forest two miles away from the city gate and wait for me at this time tomorrow.”

”I …” Mo Lin opened his mouth, but was unable to come up with an answer within a short period of time.

At this moment, Riko followed the gust of wind out of the broken temple.

”Miss, everything has been delivered. It's getting late, so we should head back. If we go back late, Prince will worry.”

”Alright, I understand.” Xiao Qingyan nodded her head and said: ”I have already given you the chance. If I do not see anyone tomorrow at this hour, even if you give up, everything I just said will not be valid.”

She lifted her foot to leave.

Mo Lin's heart sank, and subconsciously shouted, ”Is what you said true? You didn't lie to me. ”

Xiao Qing Qing turned her back to him, ”If you don't believe me, you can stay. However, I want to tell you that you only have one chance. I hope you can make good use of it.”
