Chapter 99 Women's whispers, men can't listen
Jinwang Mansion.
Song Yanxi held Jiaojiao in one hand and fed her grapes with the other, and she also had to give her ear to Zixu to check his homework.
His Royal Highness Prince Jin is not torturing the child, he is clearly testing her memory.
The little kid sat on her lap, his short legs dangling as he asked in a baby voice, "Sister, do you have a grudge against me?"
Song Yanxi paused, "Why do you ask?"
"Because my aunt is coming over this afternoon, Dad told us not to mention my sister or talk too much."
Jiaojiao sighed and said with some melancholy: "Jiaojiao wanted to introduce my sister to my aunt."
Zixu said like a little adult, "That's not necessary."
The little boy glared at him and said angrily, "Third brother, hurry up and recite the book, or Daddy will beat you."
"You!" Zixu clenched his fists, walked away with the book in his hands before continuing to read.
Zihuan, who was sitting by the window reading a book, slowly looked up.
Zixu raised his chin and said proudly, "Men can't listen to women's whispers."
Hearing this, Zihuan silently lowered his head and continued with his own work.
Worried that Jiaojiao might misunderstand if she couldn't explain it clearly, Song Yanxi carefully considered her words before speaking, "Every time I come to the palace, it's to treat your father's illness. You and I know this, but people outside don't. If it gets out, it's bound to cause misunderstandings.
The reason why the prince warned you so is because he is afraid that gossip will spread and damage our reputation."
Jiaojiao was still young and only had a vague understanding of many of the things she said, but there was one thing she understood.
"Sister is afraid of people gossiping!" The little girl's eyes lit up.
Before Song Yanxi could speak, she came up with an idea and clenched her fists and said, "Why don't you just let me live here?"
One word startled three people.
Before Song Yanxi could correct the little girl's thoughts, she caught a glimpse of Zixu's little face, which was visibly red with blood, and the book in his hand fell to the ground.
Noticing her look, Zixu exclaimed "Ouch!", stomped his feet, turned around and ran out.
Zihuan looked up, his black and white eyes full of confusion.
Jiaojiao clapped her hands and giggled, "Third brother is shy."
Song Yanxi was speechless. How old is this child? Does he know what shyness means?
Seeing that she seemed unconvinced, the little girl got anxious and said with gestures: "That night, sister and daddy kissed!"
"Cough!" Song Yanxi almost choked to death on her own saliva, and a blush appeared on her face.
When did she kiss...kiss with His Royal Highness Prince Jin?
"Daddy." Zihuan was still in shock. He caught a glimpse of a figure at the door and immediately stood up and called out politely.
Song Yanxi's body stiffened when she heard this.
When did His Royal Highness Prince Jin arrive?
If it's the little girl, is he...
When Song Yanxi thought of Jiaojiao's words just now asking her to live with him, she felt her cheeks burning. She quickly picked her up from her legs and stood up.
Looking at her awkward back, Mo Jinchuan lowered his voice and said, "Zihuan, take your sister out to play."
Jiaojiao was about to say no, but her big black eyes rolled around and she suddenly changed her mind. She blinked at Song Yanxi and turned away.
The action was decisive and without any delay.
By the time Song Yanxi realized the embarrassment, the brother and sister had already walked away, as if there was some kind of monster in the house.
If you insist on saying there is, His Royal Highness Prince Jin was indeed terrifying before his legs were injured.
Song Yanxi quickly calmed down, turned around, lowered her eyes and bowed towards the door.
Although they have communicated a lot more these days and can barely talk about anything, courtesy cannot be abandoned.
I believe that His Royal Highness Prince Jin would certainly not want his palace to have a mistress who is unpresentable and lacks etiquette in the future.
The sound of wooden wheels rolling over the ground was heard and slowly approached, but Song Yanxi did not hear the pleasant voice saying "No need to be polite" as usual.
Her heart sank. Could it be that His Royal Highness Prince Jin had noticed her thoughts and was reminding her not to be so wishful thinking?
But if he really had no intention, then what about his previous misleading actions...
Song Yanxi was so confused that she didn't even notice when a pair of men's boots appeared on the ground in front of her.
A helpless chuckle came from the man above his head, "I don't eat humans, you don't need to be so afraid of me."
"Your Highness has misunderstood. I don't..." Song Yanxi raised her eyes to explain, but was so shocked by the wall of flesh in front of her that she was speechless.
She looked up along the man's chest, and when she saw the familiar face, her eyes instantly turned red.
The voice that came out was filled with disbelief, "Prince, you stood up?"
The person who was sweating profusely from the pain last time and could only stand with the help of a wheelchair was now standing straight in front of her.
Song Yanxi couldn't describe how excited she felt at the moment.
She only knew that all their hard work and efforts in the past few days had not been in vain.
Mo Jinchuan nodded, a hint of embarrassment appearing in his eyes.
Seeing that his face was pale and he seemed to be enduring pain, Song Yanxi immediately understood and helped him sit back in the wheelchair.
Worried about the condition of his legs, Song Yanxi pretended to lift his robe over his knees, but as soon as she stretched out her wrist, Mo Jinchuan grabbed it.
He explained: "It's okay, the king knows his situation well."
Song Yanxi just looked at him steadily without saying anything.
Thinking of how he couldn't wait to stand up and show her, Mo Jinchuan coughed lightly and changed the subject, "You're right. There are indeed unusual movements at the border. An urgent message will be sent to the palace tonight, traveling eight hundred miles."
"How dare he? The stability of the border is related to the future of Da'an. Who gave Lin Tingfeng the courage to act so recklessly?" Song Yanxi's voice was filled with hatred.
She said firmly: "This is definitely not a coincidence!"
Lin Tingfeng had just handed over his military command, and the emperor had not yet approved his resignation, when unusual movements were reported at the border. Did he really think everyone was a fool?
Seeing her angry look, Mo Jinchuan could empathize with her, but he had to tell the truth.
"Ever since Lin Tingfeng returned to the court, someone in the palace has been keeping an eye on the General's Mansion, so he has no chance to meddle in it."
If it was something else, his father might turn a blind eye, but since it concerned the stability of Da'an, he would never tolerate it.
Song Yanxi was unwilling to accept this and pressed on, "Is it possible that he had arranged all this before he came back?"
As soon as she said that, she had the answer in her mind.
Because according to Lin Tingfeng's plan, when the couple returned home, she would have already been buried deep underground.
Not only was Mrs. Lin's birthday banquet held in grand style, but the palace also just happened to award Zhuang Shihan a reward when the banquet was almost over.
For a long time after that, the General's Mansion was in a period of great favor, and the unusual movements on the border did not occur until a few years later.
The person who went to the battle to quell the rebellion despite being ill was Mo Jinchuan.
When Song Yanxi's soul dissipated, the last sentence she heard was Lin Tingfeng's words to coax Zhuang Shihan.
He said, "Madam, why should you be angry with a man who will never come back?"
