General's Mansion.
"Mom, will my elder sister really come today?" Chen Yi began to look forward to Li Xia's arrival early in the morning.
As soon as he woke up, he ran to Chen's room to ask.
The mansion is very lively today.
The servants in the mansion said that today is the day when father will take a concubine.
Chen Yi is still young and doesn't quite understand the meaning of taking a concubine.
But he saw that the whole mansion was hung with bright red silk, and it was as lively as if it was the New Year.
He thought today should be a good day.
Chen nodded and said, "Don't worry, Yi'er, big sister will definitely come."
She stretched out her hands and held Chen Yi in her arms.
Feeling her son's presence, Chen's resentment dissipated a little.
fine.
She also has Yier.
As long as he was there, she didn't care about anything else.
"Mom, are you unhappy?" Chen Yi blinked his eyes, he raised his head and looked at Chen.
Children are more sensitive and can detect changes in adults' emotions immediately.
But adults will disagree.
Just say a few words and get away with it.
Little did they know.
Children can sense whether what they say is true or false.
Chen's eyes flickered. She didn't dare to look at Chen Yi's pure eyes. "No, mother is very happy."
She smiled and lied.
No matter what, Chen Dexuan is the father of her son after all.
No matter how bad he is, she will give him one last chance because he gave her Chen Yi.
As long as he doesn't favor his concubine over his wife, Yier's position in the mansion will not be threatened.
She could turn a blind eye and pretend not to see how affectionate they were.
But her bottom line is her son.
If they involved Yi'er, she would fight them to the death and would never let them hurt Yi'er in the slightest.
"Mother, what does little mother mean?"
Chen Yi nestled obediently in Chen's arms, blinked his eyes, and asked naively.
Chen Dexuan came to his room yesterday.
He told Chen Yi with a smile on his face that he was about to have a new girl.
From now on he will have two mothers who can love him together.
Chen Yi didn't know the meaning of "xiao niang", but when he heard Chen Dexuan's words, he subconsciously rejected this title.
Even though he didn't agree with what his mother did to his older sister.
But in his heart, she is his only mother.
When Chen heard what Chen Yi said, her heart skipped a beat. She frowned, looked at him nervously, and asked, "Yier, who told you?"
She actually had the answer in her heart.
"Daddy told me."
Chen Yi replied truthfully.
"Mother, father said that once I enter the mansion, I will love and care for you just like you do."
"You..." Chen bit her lip tightly, "Yier, do you want to have a little wife?"
She asked this question, feeling uneasy while waiting.
Chen Yi shook his head, "I don't want it."
He just wanted his elder sister to be at home as before.
But he understood.
Now that my elder sister has entered the palace, it is impossible for her to return to the general's mansion.
“Huh~”
Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
She was so afraid that Chen Yi would turn against her.
Then everything she insisted on would be meaningless.
Fortunately, her son is still with her.
"Yier, mother has to go and get busy, go play by yourself. Remember, the front hall is messy, so you can play in the backyard. When big sister comes, mother will notify you."
Chen let Chen Yi go from her arms and looked at him and gave him instructions.

“Cough cough cough…”
"Grandma, slow down. Tell me what you want. Are you thirsty and want some water? I'll get it for you right away."
The child saw the old woman coughing violently and struggling to sit up from the straw, so he quickly squatted in front of her and reached out to hold the old woman's hand.
"Gou'er, where did you get the money to hire a doctor for your grandmother?" The old woman had just woken up, and with her cloudy eyes she saw an old man carrying a wooden medical box on his back.
She said sternly: "What did grandma teach you? We would rather starve to death than do such dirty things as stealing. Tell grandma the truth, have you done anything unclean?"
Since the days of illness.
It's rare for me to be so clear-headed.
The repeated high fever caused her to be half asleep and half awake all day long, and she was in a daze.
If she hadn't been so worried about her grandson, her old bones probably wouldn't have made it through this.
Because Li Xia was standing behind the old doctor.
The doctor's figure completely obscured her body.
The old woman didn't notice Li Xia.
"Don't be angry, grandma. Don't worry. I will always remember your teachings. I will never forget what you said. I didn't invite the doctor. It was a kind and beautiful lady who invited the doctor for me. She said she wanted to take a look at you."
The child was worried that the old woman’s bad mood would worsen her condition, so he moved his lips and explained repeatedly.
Li Xia listened to the conversation between the grandfather and grandson.
Judging from the child's speech and behavior, he must have been to school.
This also shows that they are not impoverished lower-class people and are not in a situation where they have no place to live.
But now they live worse than the poor people.
Only beggars are as homeless as they are.
Li Xia was not sure of the child's gender at first until she heard how he called himself in front of the old woman.
She then realized that the child was a boy.
"Grandma, the lady came here because she was worried. She is here now." Gou'er raised his hand and pointed behind the old doctor. "The lady is over there."
