After finishing his words, the man turned and left directly, completely disregarding whether Feng Jin was willing or not.
Even the two children were stunned. Was this still their father? How could he have become such a scoundrel? If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it.
Feng Jin turned to look at the two children, and just as they did, Da Bao and Er Bao also turned to look at her in perfect synchronicity.
The mother and sons stared at each other, both utterly bewildered. For a moment, they couldn't figure out what kind of madness Ling Mo Han was experiencing.
"Mother, what's wrong with father?"
Da Bao asked full of questions. Father was indeed too strange today.
Feng Jin shook her head and replied with equal confusion, "I don't know either."
Who knew what kind of madness Ling Mo Han was experiencing, to suddenly pull off such a stunt. It caught her completely off guard, and she didn't know how to deal with it.
It wasn't until Feng Jin saw that the entire room was piled with the things Ling Mo Han had tricked her out of before that she was truly speechless. She was even more certain that Ling Mo Han must be sick, and suffering from mental illness.
"Young Madam, the Young General ordered... ordered his subordinates to deliver... deliver all the things to you!"
Lu Shi placed the last item in his hand on the desk, swaying precariously, and then collapsed weakly, his body limp. If not for his hand steadying himself on the table, he would have fallen to the ground by now.
"Did Ling Mo Han suffer some kind of shock, or... did his head get caught in a door?"
Feng Jin hesitated, but still asked the question that had been on her mind for a long time. Only Lu Shi, who followed him everywhere, would know best if something was wrong with his head.
"Your subordinate... your subordinate truly doesn't know?"
Broken, weak... Lu Shi could barely speak. After several trips back and forth, he had lost half his life. In the end, it was always him who suffered and was put to hard labor.
Could there be anyone in this world as unfortunate as him? He really wished he could find another master to serve, so that he wouldn't be tormented like this day and night.
If this continued, he would die of exhaustion sooner or later, pass away prematurely, and finally breathe his last.
"Forget it, it's no use asking you. You're also very tired today. Go back and rest first."
Feng Jin waved her hand, letting Lu Shi go back first. There was no point in tying him up and questioning him.
"Yes, Young Madam. Then I will take my leave."
Lu Shi, as if pardoned, hurried away. Shortly after stepping out the door, he returned.
"Young Madam, your subordinate forgot to mention one more thing."
Feng Jin's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she asked with a hint of confusion, "What is it? Tell me."
"Young Madam, please just accept these things. Don't make your subordinate move them back again. If this continues, your subordinate will truly be worked to death."
He really had no strength to move them again. He only hoped that Young Madam would be magnanimous and not argue too much with the Young General, and reluctantly accept the things.
She thought it was something important, but it turned out to be such a small matter. Feng Jin readily agreed, "I know. Don't worry, I won't torment you like that heartless Ling Mo Han."
"Thank you, Young Madam. Young Madam is truly beautiful and kind-hearted, and magnanimous..."
Lu Shi, to his heart's content, wanted to shower Feng Jin with all sorts of praise and flatter her properly.
"Stop with the nonsense. Hurry up and go. Take this time to rest well."
Feng Jin waved her hand and dismissed Lu Shi, not wanting him to linger any longer.
"Young Madam, then I will be going."
With the matter in his heart resolved, Lu Shi finally left with peace of mind.
"Mother, shall we... shall we play ring toss... Mother..."
Ever since Lu Shi brought the things back, Da Bao's eyes had been shining, staring intently at the pile of items. He had been thinking about playing since then. Now that the things were here, it would be a shame not to play.
"Alright, you two go and play."
After Feng Jin gave her permission, the two little ones dashed over like wild horses and began playing their own games.
"I'm going to get it! Great!"
Da Bao succeeded on his first try and continued to hit the mark for several subsequent attempts, proving to be a master of precision.
Er Bao was the same, with not a single miss, which even astonished Feng Jin.
She had never expected these two children to be so skilled. This was their first time playing, and they were already so proficient. It was truly a rare thing.
"Mother, this is too easy. It's not fun at all!"
Da Bao threw the rings on the ground and said dejectedly. It had seemed interesting when he watched them play, but now that he was doing it himself, it was so boring.
It was too simple, and there was nothing challenging. Playing like this was truly extremely uninteresting.
Feng Jin watched, utterly dumbfounded. The person who had surprised her so much earlier was Ling Mo Han.
She could understand Ling Mo Han being so skilled due to his years of archery and riding. But for Da Bao and Er Bao, she truly couldn't think of any reason to explain it.
Could it be that they were the legendary prodigies? It seemed that talent was indeed innate.
"Mother can't think of anything suitable for you to play with for now. How about... how about we go to sleep? After sleeping for a night, Mother might be able to think of something."
After saying these words, Feng Jin felt so embarrassed that she couldn't bear to look at the two children. It was truly humiliating.
Who could blame these two little ones for being too clever? She really couldn't think of anything that could stump them for the moment.
"Mother... you're tricking us!"
"Mother, you mustn't lie."
Da Bao and Er Bao, speaking in turn, began to interrogate Feng Jin, behaving like old souls in young bodies.
Feng Jin had never imagined that one day she would be made to feel so ashamed by her own sons.
"You two cunning little rascals, go to bed quickly. Tomorrow morning, Mother will give you something fun, okay?"
The two little ones looked at each other, and after a silent exchange of glances, they then turned their attention to Feng Jin and asked in unison, "Mother, you promise not to lie, right?"
"Mother will absolutely not lie. Lying is for puppies."
Feng Jin replied resolutely, finally making the two clever little rascals reluctantly believe her.
