After rebirth, I became the widow of my mortal enemy

Yan Huating and Jin came to the front and sat down on the main seat, motioning to everyone: "Please sit down."

There was a square table with two of them sitting on each side.

Mrs. Sun had to take care of the two twin kids, so the mother and her three children sat together on the right side.

Liu asked Ning Miao to sit with her on the left.

Ning Miao smiled, pushed Yan Xuanji over, and whispered, "It's rare for you two to have dinner together."

Liu was grateful in her heart, but when she saw Ning Miao sitting alone at the bottom, she felt something was wrong. She looked at Yan Huating and Jin, fearing that they would blame her.

Seeing that the two were not angry, he sat down with Yan Xuanji.

Ning Miao glanced at the empty seat next to her and thought, this way, she could sit with Yan Mobai.

But she saw that there were no dishes or chopsticks on the table, so she asked casually, "Isn't my second brother coming?"

"He never eats with us during the Shangsi Festival every year, so don't bother with him." Yan Huating said in a muffled voice.

Jin greeted everyone: "Let's get started. There's no need to be so reserved as a family."

Just as everyone picked up their chopsticks and prepared to eat, a servant's voice came from the door: "Second Young Master."

Everyone was startled and looked in the direction of the voice.

I saw a figure enter through the door of the flower hall, tall and handsome. Behind him was the early morning light, which fell on the whole courtyard and enveloped his body, making his facial features unclear in the morning light.

He stepped over the threshold and walked in leisurely, the corners of his robe trailing lightly, his eyebrows and eyes gradually becoming clearer, like the bright moon among the clouds.

It was Yan Mobai.

Everyone was stunned; they didn't expect him to come.

It wasn't until he came closer that everyone reacted.

Jin stood up, curled the corners of her lips, and smiled lovingly and warmly: "Mo Bai is here, please sit down."

Liu, Sun, and Yan Xuanji all stood up, and Ning Miao also stood up.

Liu asked Yan Xuanji to give up her seat to Yan Mobai as soon as possible.

"No need, I'll sit here." Yan Mobai lifted his robe and sat down on the empty seat next to Ning Miao, speaking in a calm voice.

Jin hurriedly asked the servants to buy more bowls and chopsticks.

Everyone sat down, and Ning Miao also sat down carefully.

A faint orchid scent lingered at the tip of Ning Miao's nose, and his breathing tightened a little. He didn't know whether the scent came from himself, the person next to him, or the other people at the table.

After all, everyone bathed in the orchid bath before coming here.

"It's rare for the whole family to be together. Let's eat." Yan Huating looked at Yan Mobai and greeted everyone.

Jin immediately agreed with a smile: "Yes, eat it quickly before it gets cold."

Everyone then started to pick up their chopsticks.

Ning Miao picked up the porcelain spoon and scooped himself a small bowl of red bean porridge, then ate it with his head lowered.

Jin picked up a piece of jade pastry, stood up and put it in the bowl in front of Yan Mobai in a flattering manner.

"This is the jade pastry I made myself, Mo Bai, you try it."

Yan Mobai said nothing, but picked up the piece of jade pastry with the jade chopsticks in his hand.

Jin thought he was going to eat it and smiled even more lovingly, but she saw him pick it up and put it into a bone dish beside him.

The smile on Jin's face froze.

This little bastard still doesn't give her face.

Fortunately, she has gotten used to it, and everyone has gotten used to it too.

She smiled awkwardly and sat back.

No one spoke for a while, and everyone lowered their heads and ate in silence.

Ning Miao ate elegantly and gracefully. From the corner of his eye, he saw the man next to him also scooped a bowl of red bean porridge and ate it gracefully.

The hall was eerily quiet, with only the sound of porcelain spoons hitting bowls and the chewing of two little ones who didn't know how to suppress their appetite.

Feeling that the man next to him was about to stretch out his chopsticks to pick up the white jade cake in front of him, Ning Miao also casually stretched out his chopsticks to pick up that, and the tips of their chopsticks collided on the plate.

Ning Miao pretended to look at the man instinctively, and also met the man's gaze towards her.

Dark and deep.

Ning Miao's eyelids twitched, as if he was startled, and he quickly took back the chopsticks.

At the same time, the legs under the table moved nervously and 'accidentally' touched the long legs of someone next to them.

Ning Miao seemed to be frightened again, and quickly pulled his legs back together.

Hurry up and lower your head to drink the porridge.

Yan Mobai had a blank expression on his face. He put the piece of white jade cake into his bowl, lowered his brows, and ate slowly, as if nothing had happened.

Seeing the depressing atmosphere, Jin took the initiative to break the silence again: "Today is the Shangsi Festival, what are your plans?"

Fearing that no one would respond, she called out directly: "Xuan Ji, you rarely have a day off, what are your plans?"

"I have made an appointment with some classmates to go on a spring outing together later." Yan Xuanji replied.

After her second brother and eldest sister-in-law went to the school to support her last time, many classmates took the initiative to show their friendship to her and invited her wherever they went to play.

Jin smiled and nodded: "It's spring, it's nice to go out and have some fun."

Finally, he asked Ning Miao: "Pan'er, what about you? Are you still going to the shop?"

Ning Miao curved his lips and said, "I plan to go to the ancient Taihao Mausoleum Temple in the north of the city to pray for Yan Lang."

Jin gave her an 'understood' look, and was very satisfied with her excuse: "Pan'er is thoughtful."

Then, he said to Liu and Sun, "The streets are very busy today. You two should take the two little kids with you to go out for a walk."

The two of them were pleased and nodded.

Yan Huating spoke very rarely: "Where is Mo Bai? What are you doing today?"

He was mentally prepared for this rebellious son to not return to him.

Everyone also thought that Yan Mobai would ignore him.

"Dali Temple, try the prisoner." Yan Mobai opened his thin lips and replied indifferently.

Everyone was surprised, including Yan Huating, and there was a hint of relief in his eyes.

Although his voice was as cold as he was, at least he got back to him.

"I'm done eating." Yan Mobai stood up.

Except for Yan Huating, Jin, and the two little ones, everyone else put down their bowls and chopsticks and stood up, including Ning Miao.

Watched him leave the table and go out.

-

Dali Temple, torture chamber.

Yan Mobai stood tall and looked at the man in front of him with his hands and feet tied to the rack.

The man's clothes were torn into shreds, his body was covered in blood, there was not a single piece of intact flesh on his body, and he was dying. It was obvious that he had been tortured in many ways.

"You still refuse to confess?" Yan Mobai asked the person in charge next to him.

The chief replied respectfully, "Yes, sir, but he only has one breath left, so we dare not torture him any further."

A few days ago, a group of people intercepted the disaster relief silver sent by the court to Luzhou, and only this person was caught at the scene.

This person is the only clue. If he is tortured to death, all clues will be cut off.

Yan Mobai had a blank expression on his face, his thin lips slightly pursed.

"Got it. Find a doctor to take a look. Don't let anyone die."

"Okay, sir." The officer took the order and left the torture room.

Chi Feng and Lan Ying came over after finishing other things, and Yan Mobai was preparing to leave the torture room.

"Sir." The two men saluted.

Yan Mobai raised his sleeves and stopped: "Prepare the horses, go to the north of the city. This man said that his accomplices often move around in the north of the city."

The master and his servant left the torture chamber.

The man tied to the rack looked confused and raised his eyes with difficulty.

When did he say this?

He didn't say a word, he never opened his mouth.

Fortunately, his accomplices were not in the north of the city.
