"Mother—you bad guy! Don't hit my mother!" Jinhe ran to Madam Xiao's legs with his short legs and opened his mouth to bite.
Madam Xiao's eyes narrowed and she cursed, "Where did this bastard come from!" She raised her foot and kicked Jinhe away.
Li Nian's heart suddenly sank, "Jinhe!"
She was so frightened that she hurried over to catch Jinhe, but she was a step too late because the distance was too far.
Jinhe's small body slammed down on the table, and blood instantly flowed out of his forehead.
"Wa ...
Li Nian suddenly opened his eyes and saw the ceiling of the bed covered with a green curtain, and felt his heart beating wildly.
The sound of Jinhe crying loudly was still filling my ears.
"Mother——Wuwuwa——"
Li Nian quickly looked towards the crying Jinhe, and saw that she was only wearing her sleeping clothes and sitting on the ground beside the bed.
Li Nian lifted the quilt and picked up Jinhe, feeling relieved that it was just a nightmare.
Thinking about the plot in the dream, Li Nian found it a little funny. How could she have such a dream that combined the north and the south...
Jinhe stopped crying immediately when Li Nian hugged her.
As she helped Jin He put on her clothes, she kept muttering, "Next time you wake up, wake up mother. Don't get up by yourself, or you'll fall again."
Fortunately, she had laid a thick blanket next to the bed in advance, and the bed was not high.
Li Nian helped Jinhe dress and comb her hair, and she also casually tied her hair into a simple bun, then carried Jinhe downstairs.
There is only one bedroom and one study on the second floor of the Liuli Pavilion, which is divided into two by the straight corridor leading upstairs.
Most of the space on the first floor is used as a living room, behind which is the bathroom.
Therefore, when Li Nian took Jinhe for a nap, Xiaoying and Yu Niang stayed in the reception room on the first floor.
Seeing Li Nian carrying Jin He downstairs, Xiao Ying hurriedly stepped forward with a smile: "Big sister, is Jin He awake?"
"Yeah." Li Nian responded and handed Jinhe to Xiaoying.
He looked to the side and asked, "Yu Niang, is there anything to eat? I'm a little hungry."
"Yes, I'll get it right away." After saying that, Yu Niang walked out.
But he happened to meet Xiaobai who was walking towards Liuli Pavilion.
"Madam is awake?"
"I woke up and just came downstairs." Seeing his anxious look, Yu Niang couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
"There's a big trouble. I have to tell my wife right away." Xiaobai explained in a hurried tone and headed towards the Liuli Pavilion.
When Xiaobai entered the reception room of Liuli Pavilion, Li Nian had just finished washing his face, and he and Xiaoying walked out of the bathroom one after another.
"Madam, the old lady of the Xiao Mansion is here and wants to see you."
A flash of surprise appeared in Li Nian's eyes. He had just dreamed that Madam Xiao came to cause trouble, and now she actually came?
Thinking of the scene in her dream, Li Nian felt a surge of irritability and restlessness in her heart. She frowned and said, "Go tell her that I'm sick and can't see outsiders for the time being."
"Yes." Xiaobai responded and left.
Li Nian sat on the wooden couch holding Jinhe, and once again felt that in the capital, no secrets could be kept.
I really want to go back to Dong'an City...
[System, how is Sisi doing? ]
System answer: [We are on our way and will soon reach Nanping City.]
【Oh.】Disappointed...
Or should she go find Sisi? Ever since returning to the capital, she had never felt at ease.
Sisi hasn't returned to Beijing for such a long time. It would be bad if she meets a bad person outside alone.
At this time, at the gate of Yunjingting.
The nanny beside Madam Xiao heard Xiao Bai's answer and said angrily, "Are you sick?"
She sneered, "Then we should go in and take a look. If the illness is serious, we should ask a doctor to see him."
Xiaobai said respectfully, "I've already asked the doctor. How about you come back in a few days?"
The nanny persisted, "Since you've already called the doctor, why are you cowering so shyly? Get out of the way!"
The two quarreled.
A spacious and luxurious carriage stopped at the gate.
"Your Highness, we have arrived at Yunjingting."
As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of slender jade hands lifted the carriage curtain, and a princess in a gilded long dress jumped out of the carriage.
When the nanny heard this, she no longer cared about arguing with Xiaobai and looked at her master in a panic.
Madam Xiao, who was holding a haughty attitude, was also shocked. What was Her Royal Highness the Princess doing in Yunjingting?
She glanced at the nanny, who immediately understood and stepped aside.
Everyone bowed respectfully to the princess.
The princess said humbly, "Get up. There's no need to be so formal."
She looked at Madam Xiao and said casually, "Madam Hou is here to visit Nian Nian as well?"
Madam Xiao looked at the princess in astonishment and replied, "Princess, yes, I heard that the Crown Prince has a daughter in the northwest. I'm worried about his reckless behavior, so I thought I'd come and see if he's really doing it."
"In that case, Madam Marquis, please come with me," the princess said, and took the lead.
As soon as the princess appeared, Xiaobai ordered his servants to go back and tell Li Nian to get ready.
I'm afraid Madam Xiao can't stop it today.
Seeing Madam Xiao following the princess into the house, he breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he had made arrangements in advance.
In the Glazed Pavilion, Li Nian asked Yu Niang and Xiao Ying to take Jin He to the backyard to play.
She hurried to the second floor to change into a rouge-red long dress, combed her hair more formally, and inserted a few gold hairpins. Thinking that there was not enough time, she did not put on makeup.
After finishing these, she hurried downstairs and saw that the princess and Madam Xiao had already taken their seats.
She came up to the princess and bowed, then looked at Madam Xiao with a hint of doubt.
Xiaobai explained: "This is the eldest son's mother."
Li Nian's face showed understanding, and she called out politely yet distantly, "I greet Madam Xiao. Madam Xiao is in good health."
Mrs. Xiao looked Li Nian up and down carefully.
After a while, he finally spoke: "What's your name? How old are you? Who else is in your family? How did you meet the prince?"
Li Nian answered calmly.
She and Xiao Yunyu had already agreed on these statements, and now it was absolutely true.
The princess sat at the top seat, watching the scene and listening to Li Nian's half-true and half-false words, with the corners of her lips curled up with interest.
No one knew better than her what happened after the two of them left the capital.
However, after Xiao Yunyu went to the northwest, in order to avoid his whereabouts being discovered, she asked the two secret guards not to follow him too closely, but to stay in Dong'an City and wait and see what happens.
What a pity... She thought she had found a kindred spirit, but she didn't expect that the two of them didn't elope, but instead went to such a small place to spend the rest of their lives.
She was very disappointed at that time, but now that Li Nian has returned to Beijing again, the princess feels that her boring life has been filled with new and interesting waves again.
She felt that these two people, like Qi He's wife, had shocking secrets.
What makes it even more interesting is that these three people are enemies rather than friends.
