Although Chang Yue didn't quite understand, she firmly believed that what her daughter said was correct. She just thought that Wen Heng was a very good child to their family.
He never looked down on them because of their low status and was willing to make friends with them. As for his purpose, he never made any demands on them.
She didn't understand the intrigues of the royal family, but she knew that people should be grateful.
"Zhiliao, your brother Wen Heng has helped us a lot."
"I remember, mother, but our family is also in the spotlight right now. Even if we want to help him, we can't be too obvious."
[My dear, have you forgotten that the emperor came to our house a few days ago? ]
Chang Yue looked panicked. How could she forget? Wasn't that just a roundabout way of asking?
Soon, Princess Rui came out holding her little daughter, and Chang Yue and Xia Zhiliao also came over.
When Princess Rui saw the mother and daughter and thought of her husband's words, she did not dare to neglect them. However, she actually felt awkward. She thought that these two country bumpkins could not be as powerful as her husband said.
She was pregnant before and did not attend the palace banquet. This was her first time meeting the mother and daughter.
Looking at the temperament and demeanor of the two people, they were quite different from what she had imagined. The woman was not ostentatious, rarely spoke, and was not as vulgar as she had imagined. On the contrary, her dress and appearance were very consistent with her status.
If you didn't know that she had lived in the countryside for so many years, you would think she was a princess who had been raised in a princess's mansion.
As for Xia Zhiliao, he looked well-behaved and didn't make any noise.
But then she changed her mind and realized that this was the person that all the Empress Dowager in the palace liked. They didn't even know her identity at first, so they looked at her differently.
Princess Rui Song Jingrong was thinking a lot. At this time, she had already held Xia Zhiliao's hand and said, "Sister Zhiliao, I liked her the moment I saw her. I only hope that the girl in my arms can be as lovable as Sister Zhiliao in the future. I was pregnant and couldn't go to the last palace banquet. I prepared this gift early in the morning, but I didn't give it to her for a long time. I can finally give it to her today."
Xia Zhiliao didn't expect Princess Rui to do this. She shook her head and didn't answer it.
"Don't be polite, kid. We are all family. I've heard that you get along well with your brothers. We are all the same."
Song Jingrong looked at Chang Yue and said, "Aunt, please tell me to accept it. Otherwise, I will not appreciate this little thing of mine."
Chang Yue was a little embarrassed, "It's not like that, how could it be!"
Song Jingrong smiled and said, "I know that Auntie doesn't mind it, so please accept it. I will ask you later how you raised your daughter so well."
Song Jingrong did not hide her love for Xia Zhiliao in her words and deeds, and everyone present knew it.
[As expected, the couple are both smiling tigers. When they start fighting, they are not merciful at all. ]
Chang Yue also changed after coming to Beijing. He was no longer so naive and did not trust others easily.
After hearing what his little daughter said, he became even more cautious and just responded evasively.
"She's really pretty."
Xia Zhiliao changed the topic to the baby.
Little babies all have a milky scent on their bodies, which is very pleasant and unique among the scents worn by women.
She didn't think much of it at first, but as she got closer, she noticed something unusual.
In addition to the scent of milk, this little baby has another scent.
Because she was a child, no one would care if she came closer.
Song Jingrong said against her will: "Does Sister Zhiliao like her?"
Xia Zhiliao nodded. The little girl was a blank sheet of paper. No matter what she would become in the future, she was still very lovable at the moment.
As he got closer, Xia Zhiliao also smelled the scent of medicinal herbs on the little boy.
Logically speaking, such a young child would not take medicine, after all, medicine is three parts poison.
But if the dosage is just right, it will not harm the child and will have other benefits.
From the smell of medicine on the little girl, it can be concluded that this medicine is beneficial and harmless to the little girl.
Xia Zhiliao didn't dare to think too much about it. After all, she was the daughter of Prince Rui, one of the most noble people in the world, and the medicine given by the imperial doctors was also normal.
Su Qinjun seemed to be trying to please him, and she also praised him a few times in the crowd.
Song Jingrong glanced at him indifferently. Although he was smiling, there was a clear hint of disdain in his eyes.
Xia Zhiliao could see it very clearly because of the angle.
It made sense. The Second Prince had been married for only two years, and he was already taking Su Qinyun as his concubine. Song Jingrong didn't say anything, but she must be unhappy in her heart.
Even a woman who grew up under feudal ethics would not want others to share her husband with her.
Xia Zhiliao could feel the undercurrent between the two women, and maybe something would happen.
Soon, the little kid went back to sleep, and as soon as Princess Rui left, Su Qinjun also disappeared.
When she came back, her face was as rosy as a flower that had just been watered.
Xia Zhiliao looked at her and wondered if she had gone to meet the Second Prince in secret.
Su Qinjun had a shy look on her face, and the upturned corners of her mouth revealed her pride at the moment.
Xia Zhiliao has always been wary of the affairs between herself and her mother, so she doesn't care about what happens to others.
However, what was unexpected was that their home and the Su family were in the same direction.
On the way back, the Su family's carriage, which was originally behind, suddenly sped up and rushed ahead of their carriage.
The coachman was also in a panic. Xia Zhiliao also heard the noise and stuck his head out to take a look. He found that the carriage was rushing around and the horse seemed to be crazy.
Her intuition told her that there was something wrong with the horse.
Although horses are not humans, a horse that is not stimulated will never behave like this.
The Su family's carriage had already rushed to the front. With the lessons learned from the previous incident, the coachman became more cautious, fearing that the horses would be frightened.
When their carriage passed by the Su family's carriage, the Su family's carriage had already had an accident.
Someone was hit and lying on the ground was bleeding. It was a woman, with a child tightly in her arms. Her belly was bulging high and bright red blood was flowing out from between her legs.
She screamed in pain, but Su Qinjun did not get out of the car. It was unclear whether she was scared or just didn't want to deal with such a terrible thing.
Chang Yue was shocked and said, "Zhi Liao, go and help."
Xia Zhiliao nodded. Even if her mother didn't say anything, there was no reason for her to just stand by and watch someone die.
Xia Zhiliao got off the car, and the driver was still chattering and blaming the injured woman, implying that she should have stayed away.
Xia Zhiliao had no grudges against the Su family, nor did they have much contact with them, but she really couldn't stand to hear such words.
"She was hit by you, and you didn't think about saving her, but you are still blaming her. If she gets into trouble, one will be dead and two will die. No matter whose servant you are, you will be in trouble."
Xia Zhi said something that made the driver pale, "I...I didn't mean it."
