The Everyday Life of a Man Living by the Skin of His Teeth: A Qing Dynasty Reimagining

"Why only a one-month lifespan?" Ituma Shush felt shocked.

This is an alternate history Qing Dynasty novel with a cheat, multiple children, no romantic pairing (CP), and a slower pace...

What's the secret in Chapter 197?

Well, my mother is indeed different from others; this is the focus of her attention.

Ninth Prince Hongxu hurriedly begged for mercy, saying, "Mother, Mother, cough cough."

Haven't some of our nephews gotten married?

We only inquired about a little bit.

The Eighth Prince Hongxu quickly whispered, "Mother, didn't you ask us to observe the situation of our nephews' families before?"

We just casually asked them about it while we were chatting with them.

Actually, Ituma Shushu didn't mean to blame the two of them.

But, cough cough, her mother!

Sometimes, looking at the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan, I get an itch to touch them.

What's more, those two just deliberately came up to her and caused trouble!

Then, Ituma Shushu released the two of them.

The Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan immediately covered one of their ears and jumped away.

Ituma Shushu looked at the two of them speechlessly.

I didn't use any force at all, okay?

Hahahaha...

Hahahaha...

At that moment, Ituma Shushu heard a burst of laughter.

It turned out that the tenth prince Honghao and the eleventh prince Hongyao, who had been stunned for a moment when they saw their mother pulling their eighth and ninth brothers, had finally come to their senses.

Now, the two of them burst out laughing as they watched the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan covering their ears and acting silly.

Then, the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hong, of course, wouldn't let their two younger brothers off the hook!

So, the four brothers started making a ruckus.

Ituma Shushu could still hear the screams of the Tenth Prince Honghao and the Eleventh Prince Hongyao from time to time.

At this moment, Ituma Shushu no longer had time to worry about what had happened that day.

The seventh prince, Hongzhao, saw that his mother's brows had relaxed.

He breathed a sigh of relief and silently gave a big thumbs up to the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan.

...

In the following days, things indeed turned out exactly as the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan had predicted.

Rumors indeed circulated in the palace that Consort Shu was considered to be of average appearance.

Therefore, they particularly disliked beautiful palace maids.

Even the princess chosen for her son's trial marriage was someone of average appearance.

There are also rumors that it's no wonder that the palace maids who served Consort Shu were all pretty.

On the contrary, the two palace maids she released earlier were beautiful.

No wonder Consort Shu released those two palace maids from the palace.

It turned out that the two palace maids were the most beautiful among the palace maids who served her.

At this moment, Ituma Shushu was listening to Xiaolinzi.

After reporting back to himself in detail the rumors circulating in the palace about him over the past few days.

She was speechless for a moment, then thought to herself: Hongxu and Hongxuan, those two brats, really weren't wrong after all.

Hmm, there was just one more rumor than they both thought.
