Wu Fen carried Yi Kangle, who was wrapped up tightly, out of the bathroom and gently placed him on his bed.
"Our little one is so good, he doesn't cry at all during bath time."
Yi Kangle laughed heartily at her praise.
"Xiao Bao, wait for Grandma Wu to find you some clothes. Once you're dressed, we won't be cold anymore."
While coaxing him, Wu Fen went to find clothes for Yi Kangle.
While getting dressed, Yi Kangle suddenly pointed to a faint birthmark on his back and asked anxiously, "Grandma Wu, what happened here? Are you injured?"
Wu Fen laughed as soon as she saw it.
"Xiao Bao, you're not injured here, it's a birthmark."
"Birthmark?" Yi Kangle repeated softly, her little face full of confusion.
What is a birthmark?
Wu Fen wasn't annoyed and explained gently, "Birthmarks are unique marks left on a child when they come out of their mother's womb."
Yi Kangle raised her little face, "Does Grandma Wu have one too?"
Wu Fen gently shook her head. "Grandma Wu doesn't have it."
"Does it drizzle?"
Yi Kangle asked again.
After thinking for a moment, Wu Fen cautiously said, "I don't think so."
Yi Kangle's previously happy face suddenly drooped, and his lips pouted high.
"None of you have this birthmark, so what good is it to me!"
He touched the birthmark with his hand, his head hanging low.
Seeing his expression, Wu Fen quickly coaxed him, "Little Bao, do you know why you have this birthmark? It's because your mother is too confused and always mistakes you for someone else. So the little angel left a beautiful mark on you so that your mother can find you at a glance."
As Yi Kangle heard what she said, the expression on his face gradually brightened.
"This is the mark that helps Mom find Xiaobao."
He lovingly touched the birthmark, "It can't be gone. If it's gone, Mommy will never find Xiaobao again."
"right!"
Seeing that she had appeased him, Wu Fen happily responded. Just as she was about to say something, a series of crashing sounds came from downstairs.
Yi Kangle was so frightened that he shuddered and immediately shrank behind Wu Fen.
"Grandma Wu, what's going on downstairs?"
Wu Fen frowned and comforted Yi Kangle, "Xiao Bao, why don't you play by yourself in the room for a while? Grandma Wu will go down and see what happened."
To everyone's surprise, Yi Kangle held onto her sleeve tightly and wouldn't let go.
"Grandma Wu, I want to go too," he said in a soft, sweet voice.
Wu Fen had no choice but to lead him downstairs.
Before they even went downstairs, they heard a commotion downstairs.
"What are you servants good for! Is this how you usually do your job? Be careful, or I'll have Ruihua fire you all and get you out of the Yi family!"
After these words were spoken, some of the people who had been criticized began to mutter discontentedly.
"She thinks she's some kind of servant, living in old Shanghai and being a rich lady. Even in Shanghai, she's just a kept woman, she really thinks she's something special."
He Yunxin had very sharp ears and heard everything clearly, which made her face turn white with anger.
"Who! Who said that! Step forward, and I'll tear your mouth apart!"
She stormed towards them, but before she could even extend her hand, Wu Fen led Yi Kangle over slowly.
"I thought it was some fool who dared to cause trouble at the Yi family's house, but it turns out it's Miss He. What happened? What's wrong?"
He Yunxin was annoyed by her sarcastic tone.
"You've just arrived! What kind of work are you people doing?! I've been asking for tea for ages, and this is some junk you bring me? Who are you trying to fool?!"
Seeing how angry she was, Wu Fen quickly comforted her, "Miss He, please don't be angry. That's just how they are, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. When Madam comes back, I will definitely talk to her properly and ask her to stand up for you."
Although she spoke in a way that was in favor of He Yunxin, He Yunxin found her words strange and felt even more uncomfortable, with nowhere to vent her anger.
Wu Fen glanced at her bewildered expression, chuckled to herself, and then resumed her serious demeanor.
“Miss He is a guest of the Yi family. There should be proper etiquette when treating guests. We cannot be negligent. Otherwise, word will spread that the Yi family cannot even entertain a guest properly. Do you all understand?”
After Wu Fen finished addressing everyone, she turned back to He Yunxin with a smile.
"Ms. He, are you satisfied with how I've handled this?"
Satisfied my ass!
When did she become a guest? She's here to be the lady of the house!
He Yun felt a tightness in her chest, but couldn't find a single fault to point out in Wu Fen, so she could only feel angry.
Seeing that she was just panting and angry, Wu Fen slowly opened her mouth again.
“Miss He, since you plan to stay at the Yi family home for a long time, there is something I have to say.”
"What did you say?" He Yunxin looked at her warily.
“How Miss He makes trouble for these people is none of my business, and it is Miss He’s right as a guest of the Yi family. But if you make too much of a fuss and startle Xiao Bao, then I can’t just sit idly by and I can only tell Madam and Master about it.”
Wu Fen maintained a polite smile on her face.
"I'm getting old, and I can't always explain things clearly. If I offend Miss He in any way when I pass on the message, I'll let you know in advance and ask for your understanding."
"You've already said everything, what else can I say?" He Yunxin retorted sarcastically without any politeness.
Wu Fen pretended not to understand and said, "If Miss He says so, then you agree. I'll take Xiao Bao upstairs now."
"Hey! Wait a minute!"
Seeing that she was about to leave, He Yunxin hurriedly called her back.
“I really need to have a serious talk with you about this! He’s just a kid, he spends all his time at kindergarten, and he plays upstairs when he comes home. Why would I possibly startle him? The way you’re talking makes it sound like I’m petty and want to pick on a child.”
Aside from a polite smile, Wu Fen showed no other emotion; she smiled like a mannequin.
“Miss He, you misunderstand. I didn’t mean to say that you were making a fuss, but I was just emphasizing how precious our Xiao Bao is. As you know, Xiao Bao is the master’s own grandson. If this were ancient times, he would be the eldest grandson of a direct descendant, which would naturally be of extraordinary significance.”
"Besides, you may have many sons outside, but you only have one grandson. I don't need to explain his importance; Miss He must already know."
After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for He Yunxin to say anything more, and took Yi Kangle's hand and walked upstairs.
"What's the meaning?"
He Yunxin was stunned. "You can't beat me in terms of status, so now you're trying to intimidate me with your only grandson?"
She didn't care about anything else and shouted at Wu Fen's back, "Let me tell you, once Zimo has a child, there will be no place for you in this house!"
