The wool scarf seemed to be imbued with the scent of a mother—sweet, warm, and unique.

It's sweet like it's coated in honey, but not cloying at all.

Jiang Yue wrapped the scarf around his neck and gently patted his head: "Go back and get dressed before you come out."

The obedient boy nodded vigorously: "Mmm-hmm!"

He ran back into the house, where the housekeeper had already sent someone upstairs to fetch warm clothing, including earmuffs and hats.

He put on his coat and ran out again, eager to help his mother.

Jiang Yue's snowman is now complete, with a large belly and a round head. The carrots she gave the snowman were all carefully selected by her.

She thought the snowman she had built was absolutely gorgeous.

I snapped a photo and updated my Weibo, which I hadn't posted in a long time.

"@Noble Princess Jiang Yue: I'm so awesome (yay yay) (jumping)."

She didn't notice the child's hand in the photo after posting it, but sharp-eyed netizens did.

"Wow, is this family time?!"

"Her son's hands are so beautiful, I think they're beautiful even without any money filter."

"Where's your husband? Isn't he home?"

"I feel like I can't even see the walls around this big courtyard."

"Are you kidding me? A mansion that covers several acres of land, you mean this?"

"Selfie, selfie, selfie! Baby, we want to see selfies!!!"

"Keep warm and don't catch a cold, love you mua! (*╯3╰)"

"Did you know we missed you? That's why you're posting your daily life to whet our appetites. Remember to post more, we love to see them."

Even through a screen, one can almost feel the vibrant love in these words.

There are always detached onlookers who think that fans' affection is cheap and noisy, but they never understand that every bit of love is precious.

Growing roses doesn't actually require spending a lot of money.

She only needs a little love to bloom beautifully.

These fans not only left her messages and fought back against the negative comments, but her fan club also clashed with the production team because the two episodes did not respect the game settings of the guests, and fought for her rights.

The event was very large-scale, and the production team was indeed in the wrong.

Fearing that the controversy would escalate and become unmanageable, the show's official Weibo account sheepishly apologized, stating that they would pay more attention to this aspect starting with the recording of the next episode.

As soon as Jiang Yue posted on Weibo, Zhou Ji liked it.

Unwittingly, this gave the CP fans a sweet treat.

As soon as Jiang Yue entered the house, she was enveloped in a warm breeze. Her phone screen remained lit as she received a constant stream of calls.

Jiang Yue glanced down and saw it was an unfamiliar number.

She immediately added the phone number to her blacklist.

A few minutes later, the landline at home rang again.

The maid answered the phone, said a few words, and then turned to look at the person sitting cross-legged on the sofa watching a show: "Madam, it's your phone."

Jiang Yue asked, "Did they say who it was?"

The maid shook her head: "She didn't say, but she should know you."

Jiang Yue walked over, took the phone, and asked, "Who is this?"

After being turned away several times, Sun Chengfeng dared not speak recklessly anymore. She changed tactics and started to play the victim: "Yueyue, I apologize for my bad attitude towards you before. Please don't take it to heart. I was just too anxious back then."

Sun Chengfeng was enduring humiliation and hardship, which is why he spoke to her in such a polite tone.

She paused for a moment, then continued, "I am still your mother. How can a mother and daughter hold a grudge overnight? I would like to invite you and your husband to dinner so that I can thank you in person for taking care of you over the years."

Sun Chengfeng is a gambler.

Gamblers never tell the truth, and they are unlikely to repent.

Since Jiang Yue refused to give her any more money and even had Zhou Ji send someone to warn her, she wouldn't let Jiang Yue enjoy the life of a wealthy socialite alone.

Sun Chengfeng wanted to drag her back to the place where she grew up.

Jiang Yue always had a keen intuition for malice, even if the woman on the phone spoke eloquently and sounded like she was confessing, she knew there was no sincerity in her words.

The princess, who grew up surrounded by love, didn't quite understand why a mother would harbor such malice towards her own child, unless the child wasn't her biological child.

Just as she was about to hang up the phone, a sharp pain flashed through her left chest.

Jiang Yue gently placed her palm on her heart. Everyone said that the original owner was a ruthless and vicious person who did all sorts of evil, but she always seemed to have more expectations for her family.

Subconsciously, they crave to be loved.

Therefore, every time she was hurt, Jiang Yue could feel a suffocating pain. Perhaps the original owner herself did not understand why she was treated this way by her mother.

Sun Chengfeng treated her badly, and she treated Jiang Zhi badly too.

She said she was saving all the money to buy a house for Jiang Zhi, but no one but her knew where the money actually went.

"Didn't you previously try to ruin my reputation with those photos of me?"

Jiang Yue asked in a calm tone, but she always felt that things were not so simple, and she had to seek justice for the original owner of this body.

Sun Chengfeng hadn't expected that she still held a grudge about this, and forced a smile through gritted teeth: "I acted on impulse, I was confused."

Jiang Yue then asked, "Then why did you want to see Zhou Ji? Were you going to ask him for money in person?"

Sun Chengfeng is an impatient person. Now that the loan sharks have a knife to her neck, she is even more anxious. "I won't! Yueyue, it hasn't been easy for me to raise you all these years. I've really changed this time."

Jiang Yue thought for a moment, "I'll contact you when I have time."

She hung up the phone after saying that.

Sun Chengfeng was furious on the other end of the phone and spat out a vicious "Pui!"

The man who had wrecked her house was already very impatient: "When are you going to come up with the money?"

Sun Chengfeng smiled ingratiatingly: "You heard it too, when she comes to me, I'll send her over to you."

After establishing a good relationship, use the same trick again, get her drunk and send her to the creditor. This will not only pay off the debt but also shatter her dreams of marrying into a wealthy family.

The man with the scar on his face clicked his tongue: "You're really cruel to your daughter."

Sun Chengfeng added, "It's because she was disobedient."

Then he muttered under his breath, "Anyway, he's not my biological son."

The sound was very soft, and not many people could hear it.

Jiang Yue agreed to the meal for a reason; she hadn't watched TV dramas for nothing, and now they were coming in handy. She could take this opportunity to steal two strands of hair from Sun Chengfeng and use them for a paternity test.

Moreover, with Zhou Ji present and facing his expressionless face, Sun Chengfeng, who was a bully who preyed on the weak, did not dare to harm her.

Jiang Yue admired her own quick wit once again, so she opened her phone, and the chat box was almost entirely filled with messages that Zhou Ji had sent that morning.

Are you awake?

Did you sleep well?

Remember to drink a glass of water first thing after you wake up.

I also took a picture of a small plush toy on an office employee's desk—a very haughty little fox—and sent it to her: "It looks just like you, so cute."

This one is cute too, I like it.

【I've bought it, it will be delivered to my home tomorrow.】

Still half asleep?

I'll be gentler next time.

The last message was a picture of something written on the glass that the butler had just sent him. It said: "[Yeah, Zhou Ji is an idiot.]"

Are you happy now?

Jiang Yue was speechless after reading it; he really had so much free time!

All I think about at work is slacking off!

She wanted to report him for not working properly, but he only acted so arrogantly because no one dared to challenge him.

Jiang Yue looked at the message and grumbled, then unusually replied: "I have read it."

But when she needs to use him, her attitude changes completely.

The princess cut to the chase: "There's a trap here; will you come with me?"

[I'll give you a chance to protect me (●?●)?]
