Chapter 44 She was waiting for her daughter to praise her
These days, she had a long talk with her mother.
When she talked about how difficult it was for her mother to protect her and her brother in the harem, Xiao Yao felt very guilty.
If Xiao Xi'er hadn't been a fairy and very powerful, Xiao Xi'er might not be here, and Lin'er would not have woken up. She might have been killed by the scum in the general's mansion soon.
"Princess, there is actually no secret. A few days ago, Hong'er's distant cousin wanted to marry a wife and daughter, so he borrowed some money from me. They said they would pay it back with interest, so I thought of using the money in the warehouse to lend it to them. After all, there is interest, isn't it!" said Mrs. Hu.
"Okay, then ask for it back within three days. This money will be used as military pay. Mother-in-law, please don't delay the military pay for the border guards!" Xiao Yao said, turned around, took Xiao Xier from Dong Ju's arms, and said, "I will count the number at noon three days later!"
"Yes, yes, Princess, don't worry, I will definitely come back and ask for it back!" Hu's face was ashen, and after saying this embarrassedly, she turned around and walked out by herself.
Xu Ruzhen got up from the ground and almost ran away from Mozhuyuan.
Xiao Yao patted his daughter in his arms, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and there was expectation in her eyes.
"Tsk, mother is awesome. This is what a princess should be like. With the Empress Dowager and uncle loving us so much, we can walk around with our heads held high!" Baby Lingyue fell asleep contentedly.
Xiao Jian smiled, her eyes full of sparkling light.
She was waiting for this kind of praise from her daughter!
During the three days, Xiao Jian did not go out of Mozhu Garden. She asked Dong Ju and Nanny Qin to pack up some valuable things, including the jewelry she usually wore, and put them in boxes.
During these three days, other courtyards in the general's mansion were not peaceful.
In the Qinghe Garden of the second house, Xu Ruzhen's face, which was slapped in the palace, was still covered with blue and purple, looking colorful.
Shangguan Jingchen finally came back. He had led his troops out of the city recently and had just returned in the past two days.
On the way back to Beijing, he heard about what happened in Shangguan Mansion and the Imperial Palace, so he did not go home immediately, but went to a casino to play a few games, and then quietly returned home at night.
Xu Ruzhen was crying, and Shangguan Jingchen frowned.
This woman was still pretty in her early years, but now she is getting uglier and uglier, and her temper and personality are not good. Compared with the one in Mozhuyuan, it is like heaven and earth. Therefore, Shangguan Jingchen is more and more disgusted with Xu Ruzhen.
Looking at her haggard and purple face this time, he doesn't want to look at her anymore.
"What should I do? Speak up, how could she treat us like this? The mother-in-law is really a jerk. How could she slander me for everything? I only got two pieces of headgear, and the rest were taken away by the mother-in-law. Now it's all my fault. I don't know what to do. The worst that can happen is that both sides will be destroyed!" Xu Ruzhen cried.
"You said that mother took away 30% of that woman's dowry?" This is what Shangguan Jingchen heard.
"Yes!" Xu Ruzhen nodded.
At night.
Baby Ruoxi was breastfeeding, and there was a voice outside the yard.
"Is the princess sister-in-law here? Jingchen is back, and came to see my little niece!" A man's voice rang out, and hearing this made baby Ruoxi inexplicably unhappy.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess has gone to bed, please go back, and come back tomorrow during the day!" Dongju stopped Shangguan Jingchen in the yard.
"I came here with gifts, Dongju, your master hasn't spoken yet, and the light in this room is still on, why are you chasing me away?" Shangguan Jingchen said, and walked inside.
"Swish!"
A ray of light flashed by.
Shangguan Jingchen was a military commander after all, and he dodged and quickly retreated.
"Leave Mozhuyuan!" Baiyu appeared, retracted his sword, and said coldly.
"Guard Bai, I, I just came to see my niece, and I brought her a gift!" Shangguan Jingchen said embarrassedly, he had been beaten by Baiyu, and he was afraid of Baiyu.
"The princess and the little princess have gone to bed. If you want to see the little princess, come tomorrow during the day!" Bai Yu said coldly.
Shangguan Jingchen was driven away, but the gift was left behind.
Dongju didn't take it, so the gift was left in the middle of the yard.
In the middle of the night.
Baby Ruoxi woke up because she was hungry. She was thinking about whether to call her mother to fill their stomachs, but she heard the movement in the yard.
"Hehe, Shangguan Jingchen, you are looking for death in the middle of the night!"
Xiaoyao had to wake up several times every night to feed her daughter, so she slept very deeply this time.
Baby Ruoxi listened to the movement outside, and her little nose sniffed: "Hehe, you still need smoke, where are Baiyu and Nanny Qin?"
Nanny Qin's kung fu is sharp, not to mention Dongju.
Baiyu was also there, and these three people didn't move at all.
It's interesting.
"Hmph, the smoke from the Western Regions is colorless and odorless. Even if you are a god, you will be knocked down." A cold sneer came into his ears, and the door was pushed open. Shangguan Jingchen, dressed in black, walked in.
"If we kill him like this, wouldn't it be too easy for him?" Baby Ruoxi thought.
"Tsk, this beauty, the boss has enjoyed it for so many years, I really don't know what it feels like..." Shangguan Jingchen was about to reach out to touch Xiaojian's face, but suddenly met a pair of eyes.
Because of breastfeeding, Xiaojian's room has always been lit with candles. This time, in the cradle, the pair of dark eyes were staring at the ugly man.
"Tsk, my scumbag father looks pretty good. When this person was born, did that old hag Hu throw the baby away and leave the placenta behind?"
"Humph, I heard that you little girl are quite evil, and the emperor even brought you to court!" Shangguan Jingchen said, reaching out to grab baby Ruoxi.
"You're looking for death!" Baby Ruoxi narrowed her eyes and had an idea.
"Ugh!"
Shangguan Jingchen felt something suddenly prick his body, which made him suddenly lose strength and feel numb all over.
"Swoosh!"
A light flashed, and the lamp next to him lit up again.
Xiao Jian, who was lying on the bed, lifted the quilt and sat up. She was not surprised at all that Shangguan Jingchen would show up.
Xiao Jian was dressed neatly, and in this room, standing in the corners of the wall and next to the cabinet were Dong Ju, Bai Yu, and Nanny Qin.
Baby Ruoxi looked at this scene, and her face fell.
"Oh, mother actually had a plan a long time ago, and I didn't even know it!"
Xiao Jian was a little amused. Her baby was really interesting.
God knows, the baby was young and loved to sleep, so when she fell asleep, her mother and Bai Yu and the others told Shangguan Jingchen about his behavior, and they were waiting for him here!
"Um, um!"
Shangguan Jingchen's tongue was numb, and he collapsed to the ground.
