Chapter 43: The Worried Ning Hanmo (Extra Chapter 1)

"Yun chu, you won't send Yue Yue away, right?" The little girl sniffled, her small head looking at Jiang Yun Chu.

Jiang Yun Chu pinched her little nose, "Little crybaby, the great-aunt merely likes you, she made an analogy, not intending to take you away."

"Besides, Yun chu also doesn't agree, didn't Yun chu promise before?"

"No matter when, Yun chu will never separate from you, right?"

Over the past two months, Yue Yue hasn't been asking this question as often; before, she would ask every two or three days, fearing Jiang Yun Chu would abandon her.

The child indeed lacks a lot of sense of security.

"Are you called Yue Yue? The great-aunt is just joking, because she likes you too much, she won't separate you from Yun chu, okay not to cry?"

Grand Madam also didn't expect that her one sentence would cause trouble.

Jiang Yun Chu held Yue Yue, smiling and shaking his head, "No problem, the child lacks too much sense of security; now the only person she trusts is me, so she can't leave me."

"These days, the scenery at Lotus Garden is nice; we shouldn't stand here, let's go sit by the pavilion, drink some clear tea, eat some snacks."

Jiang Yun Chu smiled and let Zi Su lead the way.

She first wiped Yue Yue's face clean, then poked her little nose, "Trust others, not Yun chu."

"Yun chu didn't even speak, and you started crying?"

"Deserves punishment!"

"What should we punish you with?"

"You can't eat today's mung bean cake, okay?"

Yue Yue giggled, nodded her head, the little bell chimed ding-dong-dang, a few clear sounds.

"As long as she doesn't leave Yun chu, everything is fine!"

"Okay, Yue Yue won't eat, from now on Yue Yue will always trust Yun chu."

The little girl has now recovered her emotions, no longer looking like she just cried; Yun chu took her hand, and only then did they walk into the pavilion.

"Sorry for making the great-uncle and great-aunt wait." Jiang Yun Chu smiled as she took her seat.

Now she is the Princess Consort's identity, she is the royal family's daughter-in-law; to bow before everyone is absolutely out of the question.

"No need, no need to bow."

Seeing the Kang Clan members rise, she hurriedly said.

Please sit, try the mung bean cake I made, and also the lotus slices, see if they suit your taste. Jiang Yun Chu smiled, pointing to the two snacks.

The lotus slices are a bit sweet, more suitable for children around ten years old; she also made them specially for those few children.

Ning Hanmo actually likes to eat it, but Yue Yue doesn't know why; she likes sweet things, yet dislikes overly sweet things, making her very picky about pastries.

This mung bean cake is good, soft and chewy yet not sweet. Grand Madam's eyes lit up.

Different from the taste at home, the mung bean cake at home, no matter how made, has a somewhat rough texture; Yun chu's version is very delicate, melting in the mouth.

Yue Yue likes to eat it, so I always prepare some; children get hungry quickly, to save them from searching the whole mansion for food. Jiang Yun Chu shook her head helplessly.

Before not raising children, naturally I didn't know raising children is also a physical labor.

But now it seems many things have become habits; if she doesn't do them, she feels somewhat uncomfortable.

People!

Once one adapts to a role, one will inevitably be drawn into it.

Yue Yue likes to eat it, here, Yue Yue eat. Kang Zi Wei picked up a piece of mung bean cake, intending to give it to Yue Yue.

But Yue Yue swallowed her saliva, quickly shook her hand.

Auntie eats it, Yue Yue promised Yun chu, today she cannot eat. The little girl, although a bit mischievous and quirky, is a trustworthy child.

Especially the promise with Yun chu, she will strive to fulfill it.

"Can't she eat?" Kang Zi Wei looked at Jiang Yun Chu, somewhat not understanding.

Jiang Yun Chu smiled, "This is my promise with Yue Yue."

Once both sides have reached the agreement, she will not regret it.

Yue Yue is very young, many big principles she still can't grasp, but I have told her that whenever there is a promise, no matter the reason, it must be kept.

A person without trust cannot stand.

Jiang Yun Chu will surely only make mung bean cake tomorrow, then Yue Yue can eat it.

At this moment, at the gate of the Courtyard, two figures appeared; Shunzi wore gray clothes, and in his arms he still held Ning Hanmo.

Originally Ning Hanmo didn't want to come over, after all, his current appearance is really not elegant.

But……

He felt a bit uneasy, what if Jiang Yun Chu discovers that the Kang Fu's dog is even more obedient and thoughtful?

After all, he thought about it, he really used to be disobedient and always played pranks.

Then would he have lost favor?

How could that be acceptable?

What elegance or lack thereof, in an emergency, how could we bother with these?

He just ordered Shunzi to hold him and come to Lotus Garden.

"You said you wouldn't come over?" Jiang Yun Chu let Shunzi go to one side to drink tea; Lotus Garden is a bit far, first let Shunzi catch his breath.

If it weren't for the recent Training, Shunzi would likely have collapsed halfway from exhaustion.

"It's our first meeting, how could I be absent?"

"Youngster has seen the great-grandfather and great-grandmother, this leg can't stand up, great-grandfather and great-grandmother, don't take offense." Ning Hanmo's face broke into a smile.

Those who know him can't help but suppress laughter.

Jiang Yun Chu thought about it, also understood what was going on, and silently moved the lotus slices to another place.

Hmph!

Another untrustworthy person!

Ning Hanmo gave Jiang Yun Chu a smile to win her favor, but he didn't touch the lotus slices on the table.

The Kang Clan's eldest maternal uncle and aunt exchanged a glance—could this be the leader of Jingdu's five great wastrels?

Is this still the Little Demon King Ning Hanmo?

Are you sure it's not just a different core?

No matter how you look at it, this is a well-behaved good child, so knowledgeable about etiquette.

Compared to our own two children, he's far stronger.

"Good child." The Grand Madam hurriedly replied, looking at the pair of children; she truly liked them. Though she had been uneasy sending the children to the Wang Fu, seeing these two children put her mind at ease.

Look at this Little Demon King—taught so well by Yun chu; surely our two little demon brats could be taught just as well?

Although she still felt a bit uneasy.

Although Ning Hanmo is the sole heir of the Regent Prince's Manor, he has not been formally invested; outsiders call him Young Master, but the family treats him as a child.

Jiang Yun Chu is indeed the Princess Consort who has passed through the Royal Jade Butterfly; even as a family member, she must still perform the rites.

"Yun chu, my eldest maternal uncle has a request." Kang Lian's face flushed slightly, but this matter must be spoken of.

Jiang Yun Chu lifted her head; the scent of floating lotus blossoms filled her nostrils.

"Which child should stay?" she asked directly.

Kang Lian glared, his eyes widening—

He had only just made up his mind yesterday to send the child over—how could Yun chu possibly know?

After saying that, Jiang Yun Chu also felt a bit regretful; the environment was too good, and she had been in ancient times too long, causing her to let down her guard.

Having grown accustomed to laying her heart out for Ning Hanmo and Yue Yue, she instead forgot her instinctive defenses.

She etched this in her heart: from now on, she must never be careless!
