Chapter 232

Master Shen knew that, because of Sui Sui's matter, Liu Dafu bore great dislike for the Jin Yang Hou residence.

Of course, he himself also does not take a liking to the Jin Yang Hou family.

When his niece was to marry into the Xie residence, Master Shen actually also had this consideration.

The Xie Shangshu's secondary wife is the sister of the Jin Yang Hou; getting involved with that residence is actually quite troublesome.

Moreover, this secondary wife is also the future mother-in-law of his niece.

However, the Xie family has good family values, the two families get along well, and the young couple are also willing, so in the end this marriage came to pass.

Because Master Shen's niece is the eldest son's wife, future mistress of the household, many matters will definitely involve management, so there will inevitably be various frictions with the Jin Yang Hou's sister, this secondary wife.

Lady Xu is not a big problem.

The older ones are people from the Jin Yang Hou residence; they occasionally come over to cause a disturbance.

Before, they never caused trouble in front of the niece; this time, how did they end up hurting someone?

Master Shen's face was sombre; even though he considered himself a gentleman, he could not help but harbor a bit of selfishness at this moment.

He thought for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "Do you have any ideas?"

Upon hearing Master Shen's question, Liu Dafu smiled with an inscrutable expression: "They can still send people to cause trouble at the Xie residence, which shows they are not busy enough."

Master Shen still didn't understand; he involuntarily leaned forward, lowered his posture, and said: "Please, younger brother, give me your guidance."

His politeness made Liu Dafu feel embarrassed: "Oh dear, oh dear, that won't do, I heard the Jin Yang Hou has a concubine who is already pregnant; if we could find a pretext to openly bring her back to the residence, the residence would surely become lively."

Upon hearing this, Master Shen was stunned for a moment, then gave it careful thought…

Hey, don't say it!

This idea sounds malicious, but it works!

Master Shen felt he could go back and ponder it.

If it really doesn't work, let someone from the residence who is skilled in this take the lead!

His niece definitely shouldn't be bullied for nothing, right?

After figuring it out, Master Shen's mood instantly brightened.

After exchanging a few more words with Liu Dafu, the two parted at the street corner.

Sui Sui played all day, and by night she was utterly exhausted.

After eating, she played a while with her brothers; when taking the medicinal bath, she fell asleep right away.

It was Aunt Xiang who kept watching, supporting Sui Sui's neck with her hand, which prevented her from slipping into the tub.

When the medicinal bath time was up, Aunt Xiang carefully held her, wiped her dry, changed her into nightclothes, and placed her back on the bed.

Prince Qi spent last night accompanying Consort Meng, and tonight he refuses to leave no matter what.

Although it's not good to sleep together with Sui Sui, sleeping in the next room is fine!

Princess Consort of Qi was uneasy about the child, so she came over early, found the little one already sleeping soundly, kept her company for a while, then returned to the main house.

Seeing her enter, Prince Qi asked in a hoarse voice: "Is the good girl asleep? How is her sleeping posture?"

When mentioning Sui Sui, Prince Qi couldn't help but worry a bit: "The good girl didn't eat much at night; I don't know if her appetite is poor. If I had known, I should have had Liu Dafu stay over."

Princess Consort of Qi was startled by his overbearing words and deeds; she said somewhat helplessly: "It's normal for a child to eat more or less at a meal; I already asked Liu Dafu earlier, and he said as long as it's not drastically different, avoiding alternating starvation and bingeing is fine, and as long as there's no other bodily discomfort, there's no need to worry excessively."

Prince Qi naturally understands this reasoning.

But seeing the thin and small Sui Sui eating little makes Prince Qi anxious.

He injured his body because of Car Maid's affair, and his lifespan is still unknown.

Even though the imperial physicians have already prescribed him tonic medicines, and he regularly soaks his feet and takes medicinal baths, he can also eat medicinal cuisine.

But what if he doesn't live long?

He still wants to watch the good girl grow up, and see her come of age and marry.

Huh?

Marry?

Which brat is worthy?

Alright, sooner or later she will still have to marry.

That's why he wants to live a long, long life.

So that others won't think that without the Father King's protection, the good girl will have no one looking after her.

His good girl has many people protecting her.

Prince Qi thinks, he actually wants to see which brat dares to bully his daughter!

Prince Qi, thinking of Sui Sui marrying in the future, can't help but feel heartbroken.

Originally, because of his health, his mood these past few days hasn't been very good.

Now, thinking again about Sui Sui's marriage, his heart feels sour uncontrollably; he took Princess Consort of Qi's hand and burst into tears.

Princess Consort of Qi: ……

Although it's not the first time seeing it, each time she sees it she is startled.

But what can she do about it?

She still needs to comfort him properly, lest the Prince's tears flood the residence.

Princess Consort of Qi comforted him for a while, and finally managed to console him.

Prince Qi returned to bed to sleep, sniffling.

He cried before sleep, and once asleep he snored loudly.

Princess Consort of Qi, whose sleep is somewhat light and who finds falling asleep a bit difficult, feels that sleeping together with the Prince is sheer suffering!

Sui Sui slept until dawn.

Only when she woke up the next morning did she groggily come to her senses.

Ah, she didn't hear the story again.

She hasn't heard a story in a long time!

Last night she had originally wanted to persist a while, to hear the story and tell it to the newly acquainted Tangtang Jiejie.

But she couldn't persist.

After reacting, Sui Sui annoyedly pursed her lips.

Xiang Gugu thought she was going to the bathroom, and swiftly hugged her and ran.

Yesterday it rained all day; today it cleared up directly, the sun much brighter than before, and the temperature noticeably rose.

After washing up, Sui Sui changed into a new outfit and went to find Mother Consort.

Early in the morning, Princess Consort of Qi discussed with Prince Qi, the weather is nice, why not take the two concubines out for a stroll?

Going to Zhuangzi to look at the flowers, grasses, trees, and woods, and seeing herds of cattle and sheep wouldn't be bad either.

Princess Consort of Qi still considered the earlier fright experienced by Concubine Meng.

Afraid that if she stayed in the residence all the time, her pent-up feelings wouldn't dissipate, and getting sick again would be terrible.

Prince Qi now has some small psychological shadow about the other villa, but if going to Zhuangzi...

Actually, he still feels somewhat moved.

Otherwise, staying at the Wangfu wouldn't have much to keep him busy; it'd be better to go out and have some fun.

While they were discussing, Sui Sui happily rushed in: "Mother Consort, Father King, I'm here!"

The little girl's clear, lively voice was full of energy.

Upon hearing, Prince Qi couldn't care about anything else, swiftly turned and walked out, smiling with his eyes crescent-shaped as he went: "Oh, my dear, Father King has arrived!"

Princess Consort of Qi was a step slower, and thus didn't manage to hug Sui Sui.

Sui Sui was held by Father King, obediently wrapped her arms around his neck, leaned in, then reached out her little hand to Mother Consort: "Mother Consort, hold me!"

Princess Consort of Qi had originally felt a bit lost, but upon seeing Sui Sui open her little hand reaching toward her, her heart instantly warmed.

She quickly opened her arms, took Sui Sui from Prince Qi's embrace: "Ah, Mother Consort is here, my Sui Sui."

After receiving her, Princess Consort of Qi habitually kissed Sui Sui's little tuft of fur.

Soft, cute, and warm.

She loved it so much!

The second watch is at 19:00.
