Caiwei is definitely a regular at Yuxianglou, and I can't believe I ran into her today!
"Madam Ji, you've come to Yuxiang Pavilion too?" Caiwei stood at the door, and my mother and I had no choice but to stand with her.
"Yes, I brought my daughter to take a look."
Caiwei looked at me and nodded: "It's good that you have the Marquis's wife with you, so I'll be going now."
I originally wanted to stop Caiwei and ask her about things at the Second Prince's residence, but judging from her expression, she probably wasn't doing too well.
After my mother went in, she bought a lot of things and asked the shopkeeper to deliver them to our house. I never knew my mother could spend money so shrewdly; I thought she never went out to spend money.
Anxiang followed beside her, holding a sword in her hand. "Madam, let's go back first."
Mother was still not satisfied. She actually picked out a lot of things and gave Yu'er a small candy before leaving.
As soon as we stepped out of the building, we saw several people dressed in black. They weren't masked, so we couldn't tell if they were good or bad.
Anxiang helped us into the carriage. After the carriage drove away, the men in black tried to approach the blue carriage, but she picked up some stones from the ground and threw them at them, causing them all to fall to the ground.
I lifted the carriage curtain and looked at them; they were definitely under pressure point manipulation. Ever since I agreed to be with Xie Yuancheng, he hadn't used pressure point manipulation on me, but I'd still been manipulated several times when things didn't go my way.
Anxiang waited until the black-clad man passed before getting into the car. Inside the car, her mother chanted Amitabha Buddha's name and said that it was fortunate she hadn't brought Yu'er along.
"Mother, so you have to trust your daughter, I won't make a mistake."
"But Yu'er cried so pitifully today, we should take him out for a walk next time."
"Of course you can take him out, but it's best if Dad or Yuancheng are with him so he can be safe."
Mother nodded: "That's true. There are all sorts of conflicts in the capital now. It would be really stupid to stop us in broad daylight."
"They're being foolish; they're testing the waters. I bet more people will come later."
Anxiang gripped the hilt of her sword and said, "Don't worry, once my sword is drawn, they won't return."
"I know you're amazing, so I brought you along this time." I showered Anxiang with compliments to boost her confidence.
Anxiang lowered her head in embarrassment. I heard the sounds of fighting coming from the carriage. Just as Anxiang was about to get on, the carriage sped off.
"Don't panic, they won't succeed."
"Ying'er, don't talk nonsense. If anything unexpected happens later, you and Anxiang should jump out of the car and don't worry about me."
"Mother, please don't worry, you have to believe me."
I dreamt about it again last night, exactly the same as now. I don't know who sent these people, but they will meet the Crown Prince later, and then they will turn into dogs fighting each other and there will be no clear explanation.
Sure enough, the car stopped quickly, and the Crown Prince's voice came from outside: "Committing a crime in broad daylight, do you think I'm just a decoration? Go up there and capture them alive."
"yes!"
My mother and Anxiang looked at me, and I handed the veil to Anxiang: "Hurry up and put it on, the Crown Prince recognizes you."
Anxiang then put her veil back on. The person on the roof of the carriage was thrown off, and the prince asked from outside, "Who is in the carriage?"
I gave my mother a look, and she then spoke: "Your Highness, I am General Ji's wife. Today, I am taking my daughter and maid to Yuxianglou to buy pastries."
"So it's Madam Ji. My apologies. A group of bandits tried to hijack your carriage, but thankfully I arrived in time."
"Thank you for your help, Your Highness."
The prince was somewhat polite and didn't lift the carriage curtain. His mother lifted the curtain, nodded to the prince, and then let the coachman drive away.
Everything was just like in my dream. I clenched my fists; I guess I've been having a really sharp mind lately, so I can foresee things. Maybe God felt our family was suffering too much, so He let me save my mother's life.
Yu'er is too young. It would be terrible if he got scared. I wouldn't dare take that risk. The main reason is that I'm not sure if these things are real. After all, you can't really explain things in a dream.
After the carriage had traveled a short distance, Anxiang removed her veil: "Madam, how did you know the Crown Prince would come?"
"I... I've recently felt that I have extraordinary talent, so I had a premonition."
"So that's how it is. No wonder the Marquis was able to escape danger and survive even after jumping off a cliff."
Anxiang can be adorably silly at times, but I can't escape my mother's eyes. Even though she doesn't say anything, she'll ask me about it when we get back.
Upon entering the mansion, he quickly headed towards his mother's room. Before even stepping inside, he heard Wan'er's voice accompanied by Yu'er's. Yu'er, that heartthrob, only knows how to flirt with girls, and now even some of the soldiers standing around are trying to please him.
"Mommy~" Yu'er ran over to me as soon as she saw me, rubbing her little face against my leg: "I want a hug."
I picked him up and asked, "Have you been a good boy/girl at home?"
"Mommy is mean, she won't take Yu'er out, boohoo."
The little guy started his performance again. I tickled his little waist, and sure enough, he laughed.
"Haha, Mom, it itches~" He can speak now, but not in long sentences, but he is very sensible, except that he doesn't like Xizhi.
"Yu'er, Grandma brought you some sugar figurines to make for you."
Yu'er happily took it and then clamored to get down, but I wouldn't let go. Yu'er then puffed out her cheeks and kissed my neck: "Mommy~ Mommy~ Yu'er wants to play."
I saw he was getting anxious, so I put him on the ground. My mother then told me to go to another room to talk to her.
Yu'er was playing with a sugar figurine, so she didn't see us go out.
As soon as I entered the door, my mother asked me about what happened today. I didn't know what to say, so I just told her that we would leave at the same time tomorrow morning and wait at the door. If a carriage really did knock someone over, I would tell her.
My mother looked at me suspiciously: "Ying'er, have you gone to learn those evil and crooked arts? We are a wealthy family, we can't learn that kind of thing."
"Mother, of course I know, but these things are too strange. Although it came true today, it may not be true tomorrow. Let's wait and see tomorrow."
Fortunately, the housekeeper said that someone had delivered something from Yuxianglou, so Mother didn't ask any further questions.
I was happy to relax and went to play with Xizhi and Suling. Yu'er was initially making sugar figurines with Wan'er and the others, but when he saw me holding his two younger siblings, he became stingy.
I then put Xizhi down and hugged Yu'er in my arms: "Little bean is a stingy little thing, a jealous king."
"Hehe~" He didn't care if he was stingy or not; he was happy as long as he got a hug.
When my mother brought over the snacks, Yu'er smelled the aroma and wanted to go back to her mother's arms, which gave me a moment of peace.
Yu'er is still too young to eat too much, so we give him snacks that other children eat. But Yu'er isn't greedy; he remembers to share some with Su Ling while he's eating.
"Yu'er, your little sister is still too young, you eat by yourself."
"Little sister~" Yu'er looked at Su Ling from beside the cradle: "Delicious~"
Xi Zhi called out from the side, and Yu'er glanced at him before continuing to circle around Su Ling.
