"What? You came to thank me? But seeing how aggressive you were, I almost thought you were here to cause me trouble."

"Your Highness is just joking. How could I have the courage to cause trouble to you? Isn't this like the birthday star hanging himself, seeking death?"

Huai Ke looked at Mu Sili carefully. She had heard that her mother's house arrest was related to her. She should resent her, but she couldn't.

Her mother was not kind to her. Although she was her biological daughter, she only had eyes for her son. When she heard that she was under house arrest, her first reaction was that she would never be scolded by her mother again.

But she was her own child, and having such thoughts was very disrespectful, so when the people from the main courtyard came to take them away, she took Hongshi with her without hesitation.

"It's Huai Ke and Hong Shi. This is your first time meeting them, right? I didn't expect Fu Jin to send them to the front yard. While Mrs. Li did make mistakes, she was kind to the children. I intend to send them back."

Huai Ke was obviously nervous when he heard this, and Mu Sili could tell at a glance that she didn't want to go back to Li.

Thinking that Li valued her son more, she went up and touched her head.

"The eldest princess is truly adorable, just like Concubine Li. She will definitely be a beauty when she grows up. I wonder which young master she will marry."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Huai Ke is still young. I don't want her to get married so soon. No matter what, I have to wait until she is around 20 before considering this matter."

Huai Ke knew that Yinzhen liked her, so when she heard that he was reluctant to let her get married in the future, she couldn't stop crying.

"Father, is it okay for my daughter not to get married when she grows up? You are the only one who loves her the most, and she wants to stay by your side forever."

"What do you mean, Da Gege? The concubine is not treating you well? That shouldn't be the case. You are the concubine's eldest daughter. She went through ten months of pregnancy and endured so much pain to give birth to you. How could she treat you badly?"

"Mother...Mother treats her daughter very well."

She herself didn't believe this, so how could the shrewd Yinzhen believe it?

"Su Peisheng."

"I understand."

Huai Ke didn't know what Yinzhen meant, but Mu Sili knew. She never expected that Yinzhen doted on his daughter to the point of punishing her mother. She also wondered if Li would abuse her in the future if she knew that this happened to her because of Huai Ke?

Hongshi was still clamoring to go find Li, which gave Yinzhen a headache. He was really spoiled by Li.

"Your mother did something wrong and is under house arrest as a punishment by Fu Jin. If you go to her now, you will bring her trouble. Why don't you go to Qingfeng Pavilion and have a seat? I will make you something delicious."

Mu Sili would not bother with the child, not to mention that it was their first meeting. She just needed to coax the child and not give Yinzhen a headache.

"Can you cook?"

"Your Highness, you are looking down on me. Although I am favored in the mansion, my father is honest and has cultivated my independent abilities since I was a child. It's just cooking, but I can do a lot more."

Yinzhen looked at her with suspicion. It was not that he doubted her, but he just didn't believe she would really do it.

"Then I will bring them over to taste your cooking skills."

Yinzhen didn't care whether Hongshi was willing or not, and left holding Huai Ke and Mu Sili's hands.

Hongshi looked around and decided to follow them. His mother could go and see it later, but he couldn't miss the delicious food.

Yinzhen looked back and nodded with satisfaction when he saw that he had caught up.

Hongshi was spoiled by Li, but he is still young and can change if he is taught carefully.

And there is Huai Ke, she is his only daughter and is too timid. If possible, he hopes that Mu Sili can raise her during the period when Li is under house arrest.

I don't ask for much, I just want to give her the courage to confront Li, so that she won't be bullied in the future.

In the main courtyard, Fu Jin did not expect that the servants would send Huai Ke and Hong Shi to the main courtyard, and they happened to be seen by Yin Zhen. She was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped the person next to her.

"I have already said that why can't we just find a place to put them? Why do we have to send them to the main courtyard?

Or is it that you no longer take me seriously now that I have lost my legitimate son? If so, what use do I have for you?"

"Please calm down, Madam. I arranged for someone to find a courtyard for them to stay in, but I didn't know that the people below were timid and worried that something might happen to them, so they sent them to the front courtyard.

I have served you for many years and am loyal to you. If I had known this would happen, I would not have let anyone else do it."

At this point, Fu Jin couldn't say anything. It was just a pity that such a good opportunity was lost.

But Mu Sili was really brave. She had Li under house arrest, and then she went to seek favor and brought the prince and their siblings back with her. She even admired her a little.

It's a pity that such a person will not be used by her, otherwise she will keep her firmly in her hands no matter what she says.

"Keep a close eye on Qingfengxuan's movements. I suspect the prince has other plans."

Fu Jin was very worried that Yinzhen would give Hongshi to Mu Sili to raise. She had been too favored in the past two days, so she had to be vigilant.

"I understand."

In Qingfengxuan, Yinzhen, who was full of food and wine, really believed that she could cook this time, and the food tasted extremely good.

Since she is so good at cooking, he will have to come more often in the future, otherwise he will miss out on many delicious dishes.

"Thank you, Niuhulu's mother, for the hospitality."

"Do you like it? If you like it, come over often and I'll make it for you again."

Mu Sili touched Huai Ke's head with heartache, and Huai Ke's eyes couldn't help but become moist. This was the first time in her life that she was liked by someone other than her father, and she was a little at a loss.

Before she could answer, Hongshi started making trouble again.

"My son wants to go see my mother. Father, please let her out. I miss her."

"Didn't I say she was grounded because she made a mistake? Hongshi, you are becoming more and more unruly. From today on, you will study with me in the front yard."

Hongshi looked at him in shock. He was still young, and his mother said that he should wait until he was six years old to go to the front yard to study. Why did his father want him to go now?

"No, my mother said that my son is still young and doesn't need to study, he just needs to have fun. Why does my father force my son to study?

"Mother is right. You killed my elder and second brothers. If you hadn't forced them to study, how could they have died?"

Mu Sili quickly pulled Huai Ke into her arms. If nothing unexpected happened, Hongshi would definitely get beaten.

I just didn't expect that Li was not only arrogant and domineering in daily life, but also taught her children like this in private.

She has only been under house arrest for a month by the concubine. If she behaves well and reflects on her behavior, she will be released soon. However, Hongshi will probably keep her under house arrest for half a year or more, after all, she has corrupted him.
