"What? It's you? Why are you crying again, you brat? Who bullied you? A man shouldn't cry all the time. You're so pathetic."

Upon seeing that it was the young master Li Jingchen, Xue Ziwei couldn't help but give him a thorough scolding. Although her tone was reproachful, she gently wiped away his tears.

Although she was unwilling to be Li Mufeng's son's stepmother, she couldn't bear to ignore a three-year-old child. Right now, the little guy's tear-streaked face looked as if he had suffered a lot of grievances, which made people feel sorry for him.

"Mother, sob... Don't you want Chen'er anymore? Everyone else has a mother, but Chen'er doesn't, sob... Chen'er wants a mother too, sob..."

The young prince, Li Jingchen, cried his heart out, and "Blood Purple Rose's" heart couldn't help but clench.

"No, don't you have a mother yourself?"

At this point, "Blood Purple Rose" realized that she seemed to have overlooked a problem.

"Where is Li Mufeng's ex-wife? Why has no one ever mentioned her?"

Thinking of this, "Blood Purple Rose" grabbed Li Jingchen's small shoulders and asked,

"Where is your own mother? Why have I never seen her?"

Upon hearing "Xue Ziwei" mention his mother, the young prince Li Jingchen cried even more heartbrokenly, almost sobbing uncontrollably.

"Waaaaah... My mother... Waaaaah... My mother kissed her... Waaaaah..."

Finally, the little guy collapsed into "Blood Purple Rose's" arms, crying so hard he could barely breathe. "Blood Purple Rose" sighed helplessly, stroking his back repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore. Stop crying. I just can't do anything with you."

As she spoke, she asked for a lollipop from her spatial storage, and "Blood Purple Rose" handed it to the young prince, Li Jingchen.

"If you stop crying, I'll give you this lollipop."

Upon hearing the word "lollipop," the little one's tears stopped abruptly, and he gazed at "Blood Purple Rose" with teary eyes.

"It's so ugly."

Seeing that Li Jingchen's face was covered in tears and snot was still hanging from his nose, and his pretty eyebrows were furrowed, "Blood Purple Rose" took out a brand new handkerchief and wiped the tears from the little guy's face before placing the lollipop in his hand.

"The lollipop is so delicious, Mommy, would you like to try some?"

Looking at the "lollipop" handed to her, Xue Ziwei sighed again.

"Little Space said that the mirror of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden can only grant one hundred wishes. Right now, we've already wasted several lollipops. If this little guy keeps asking us for more, wouldn't that be a waste of its talent?"

Whether it was because he had read "Blood Purple Rose's" thoughts or not, the little guy actually said something.

"Mommy, where did you conjure up such delicious lollipops? Can you give Chen'er one every day? Chen'er will be a very good boy/girl."

"Blood Purple Rose" was speechless, but the little guy looked on with anticipation.

"If I had a recipe, I could make it myself, and then I would have an inexhaustible supply."

Just as she finished thinking, a prescription actually appeared in her hand, leaving "Blood Purple Rose" speechless. She didn't know whether to praise Xiao You for being so capable or to say that she was being nosy.

Perhaps seeing that "Blood Purple Rose" remained silent, the little one, licking his lollipop, rolled his eyes.

"Mother, please don't be angry. I don't want it anymore. I know I've been a bit too demanding. I just wanted to talk to you a little more."

The little guy's eyes welled up with tears again as he spoke.

"Everyone says I'm a wild child without a mother, and Chen'er wants a mother too. Waaah..."

"Why are you crying again?"

"Blood Purple Rose" was truly at a loss with the little one, and wiped away her tears again.

"Alright, I'll ask my grandfather to help me figure out how to make these lollipops. Once they're made, I'll treat you to candy every day, okay?"

My grandfather was the richest man in Jiangnan and had a good head for business. I think it wouldn't be a problem for them to make a few kinds of candy according to the recipe!

"real?"

Upon hearing that he could have candy, the little guy's eyes lit up instantly, and he excitedly exclaimed,

"That's wonderful, Mother. If my mother were still alive, she would definitely buy me lollipops every day, just like you."

"Your mother is dead?"

Upon hearing Li Jingchen's words, "Blood Purple Rose" raised an eyebrow.

“She died. She died when I was born. My father told me that my mother died in childbirth, and my aunt told me the same thing.”

Over the years, my aunt has been nagging me. She is my only relative, and I have always respected her.

Until recently, my aunt kidnapped me, and you killed her. I hated you for days.

Father sent people to investigate Aunt, only to find out that we had all been deceived by her. Mother was killed by Aunt, sob sob…

At this point, Li Jingchen collapsed onto "Blood Purple Rose" and burst into tears, leaving her at a loss. Fortunately, Li Mufeng walked in at that moment.

"Wang Feng, take the young prince out first. I have something to discuss with the princess."

Seeing Li Mufeng's solemn expression, Xue Ziwei's nerves were immediately on edge.

"Has something happened again?"
