Chu Xiaoxiao was thrown into a book, reincarnating as a cannon fodder meant to be drowned shortly after birth. Outraged, she saved herself and vowed to change her family’s doomed fate.
...Liang Yan'e didn't dare to say anything and stood aside with her head down. She didn't know why her mother suddenly disliked her. She must have done something wrong and made her mother angry.
In the future, she will never make her mother angry, nor will she cause trouble for Chu Xiaoxiao. She doesn’t want to lose her mother’s favor.
Liang Yan'e rushed over, hugged Qiu Simin's legs, and sobbed softly: "Mother! It was Yan'e's fault. I shouldn't have asked for Chu Xiaoxiao's goose. Mother, please don't be angry, okay? Yan'e will not want Chu Xiaoxiao's things in the future."
Looking down at her daughter hugging her, Qiu Simin's hard heart softened a little. The children were not wrong, but the adults who were wrong, the ones who gave them birth.
She wanted to take revenge on the Liang family, not her own children.
But the disgust in her heart still existed, and she couldn't pretend nothing had happened for a while.
"It's good that you know it. You can't just take other people's things. And don't tell others that you like the prince. You are not worthy of it with your status."
Qiu Simin emphasized the word "unworthy", which made Mrs. Liang, who was sitting above, feel a pang in her heart and her face turned pale.
It seems that Qiu really knew something, otherwise he would not say such words.
Qiu Simin casually saluted Mrs. Liang and took Liang Yan'e back to her own courtyard. Her daughter's identity was in question, so she really couldn't provoke the royal family casually. If she was found out, she would be beheaded.
How can a child born out of moral disorder be the mother of the country?
If Chu Zhiyin knew this, how could others not know it? The Liang family was just trying to cover up their own mistakes. She was stupid before and thought she was lucky to have a son and a daughter.
If she had known it was such a blessing, she really wouldn't want it. Even if she adopted someone else's child, it would be better than a child like this!
Chu Xiaoxiao returned to the gate of the Huguogong Mansion and was taken away by Yang who was waiting for her. The little girl was sleepy, so she sat on the goose's back, her little head nodding, and she almost fell off.
Liu Ming wanted to hug her, but she refused.
She doesn't want anyone to carry her. She can walk home on her own without falling.
Everyone in the Duke of Huguo's Mansion knew that Chu Xiaoxiao had gone to the Jiang Mansion. It was not the guards who told them, but Chu Zhiyin who sent someone to inform them.
Yang was so busy that she didn't know her daughter had gone to her sister-in-law's house. She only found out about it when the old lady's nanny came to look for her.
"What? Xiaoxiao left the house? How could this kid leave without telling me?"
The nanny laughed, "Miss Xiaoxiao is amazing. She rode a goose there. I heard that she was troubled by the young lady from the Liang Taifu residence. The goose was very powerful and pecked both Madam Liang and her granddaughter. The people watching on the street thought it was a blast."
"Mrs. Liang?" Yang's eyes darkened. "Why did she make things difficult for Xiaoxiao?"
The nanny replied, "It is said that the young lady of the Liang Mansion wanted to snatch the goose from Miss Xiaoxiao, but Miss Xiaoxiao agreed, but the goose disagreed and pecked the grandparents and grandchildren of the Liang Mansion."
Yang didn't say anything, but she was cheering for the goose in her heart.
Mrs. Liang is so hateful. She always likes to target her daughter Xiaoxiao.
After lunch, she sent someone to guard the door to notify her daughter if she came back. After waiting for a long time without receiving any notification, she simply went to the door to wait by herself.
I saw my daughter's head drooping, as if she was about to fall asleep, and I was really afraid that she would fall to the ground.
"Xiaoxiao!" The moment she picked up her daughter, Yang felt so distressed that she couldn't say a word of blame. She just wanted to comfort her, "Want to sleep? Mother will carry you back to sleep."
The little boy opened his eyes and looked at her, then put his arms around her neck and immediately began to snore softly.
Yang looked at her daughter's peaceful sleeping eyes tenderly, her heart filled with joy.
This is her daughter, her cutest and most caring daughter, the treasure given to her by God.
After waking up, Chu Zhinan told his precious daughter a good news.
"Xiaoxiao! The zoo you asked for has been built. Do you want to go take a look?"
The little boy rubbed his eyes and sat up, with messy hair and a confused look on his face. Then he reacted and his dark, round eyes suddenly lit up.
[Aha! Is what Daddy said true? The zoo is ready? Can we bring all the beasts from Prince Duan's animal training hall here at night? Let's go in quietly, without firing guns.]
Chu Zhinan: “…”
Go in quietly? No guns? Girl! What do you mean? Want to find someone to catch those beasts? If so, wouldn't that make too much noise?
If Prince Duan finds out, he will definitely cause trouble for us.
Yang took the water for washing face from Furong, washed the little girl again, and tied up the little buns that were either loose or flattened.
I changed my clothes and other things. I had sweated a lot after sleeping, so they were all wet. I had to change them.
After tidying up, he gave her some water and put a lot of snacks in her pocket before Chu Zhinan carried her out.
The zoo was built in a peach blossom garden, where most of the peach blossoms had been dug up, leaving only a small half.
The doorway that Liu Yiyi had previously opened in the wall was expanded and became a standard door.
The area connected to the mansion was surrounded by a newly built high wall, leaving a small door connecting it.
The outside of the door was covered with raw copper for fear that the wild beasts would go crazy, break the wooden door, run into the house and hurt people.
Wrapped in raw copper, it is not easy for wild animals to smash it to pieces.
There are two people guarding the door day and night. Even if the beast really goes crazy, they will know it at the first time.
When they arrived at the zoo, Chu Xiaoxiao struggled to get down and walk. Chu Zhinan didn't object and put her down.
It was running happily in the zoo, twiddling its two short legs.
This place has been planned out. The tiger has its own territory. A large cage is built with fine steel. I believe it can't escape even if it wants to.
There are several cages as big as this one, probably built for other animals.
[Aha! Daddy did a great job. There are so many cages, enough to hold all the animals in the zoo. I will sneak over there at night and get all the beasts. From now on, they will all be mine.]
Chu Zhinan: “…”
You go? How can a child who is only a year old like you go to get so many beasts? What if something goes wrong? If we have to go, it must be Dad who takes people with him.
But Dad is also afraid of wild beasts, because those animals can eat people.
On second thought, no, his Xiaoxiao is not afraid of tigers, so she must not be afraid of other beasts. If he really wants to go to Prince Duan's animal training hall, he must bring his daughter with him.
If she doesn't go, it's no use for them to go.
[I want to open a zoo at home, and let people from the capital come to visit. No admission fee will be charged, and small vendors will be allowed to come in and do business. Ordinary people can also come, as long as they register at the Protectorate Palace and pay the rent.]
Chu Yimo, who had just arrived, opened his eyes wide when he heard this.
No tickets? Let people come in and do business?
[You can also let tourists interact with the beasts, buy food to feed them, and let the painter draw the scenes of their interaction. I'm sure many people will like this. It's a good money-making project. ]
Chu Zhinan: “…”
My dear girl, you have so much gold, why do you still become a money-grubber?
