Since Yu'er got the parrot, she hasn't come over anymore and spends all her time playing with it in her mother's room. Because I'm breastfeeding, and I don't know if it's because I've been with Xie Yuancheng for so long, I actually have some milk, more than when I gave birth to Yu'er.
But since I have two children, I didn't have enough breast milk, so I had to find a wet nurse from outside.
That day, after feeding Su Ling, I put her back in the cradle and went to my mother's room to see Yu'er.
Xie Yuancheng went out this morning and hasn't come back yet. Wan'er and Anxiang are taking care of things in the house, which is why I was able to go out.
As soon as I got to my mother's door, I heard Yu'er's laughter. He was having so much fun playing with the parrot that it made me feel nauseous.
"Mom~" He ran over and hugged my leg as soon as he saw me go in.
I held him in my arms and said, "Little one, why don't you go find your mother?"
"Bird, bird~" Yu'er pointed to the parrot standing on the cage. Little rascal, he's forgotten his mother now that he has a parrot.
"Mom~" I watched him reach out to touch the parrot, but I stubbornly refused to let him get close.
Yu'er was getting anxious and struggled in my arms. My mother came over and said, "Ying'er, how can you bully your own son? Put him down quickly."
"Now that he has a stupid bird, he doesn't want its mother anymore. We won't let him come down."
Yu'er struggled even more fiercely, her big, watery eyes threatening to burst into tears. The parrot beside her called out "Stupid bird!" with its long beak, and Yu'er started laughing again.
"Oh dear, you troublesome son, all you do is grin like an idiot."
Yu'er laughed happily and started patting my arm. He's only a little over a year old, but his grip is already so strong.
"Ying'er, you're already twenty, quickly put Yu'er down."
I held Yu'er tightly. Even though I'm thirty, I'm still a kid at heart. I'm spoiled by Xie Yuancheng every day, and I feel like I'm going to run wild.
"Mom~ I'm only twenty, I'm still your good child."
"Pfft!" Mother laughed: "If you say that, be careful Yu'er doesn't laugh at you."
"My dear son, do you dare laugh at your mother?"
I started threatening Yu'er, and this clueless little bean sprout actually slapped my face and laughed, my face even hurt from the slaps.
"Ugh, you naughty boy~"
Hehe~
As soon as I put him on the ground, Yu'er ran off to tease the parrot. Children forget what they were playing with before as soon as they have something good to play with.
If Xie Yuancheng knew that the toy he painstakingly made for his son had been thrown on the ground and that he was now obsessed with a parrot, he would be furious.
"Madam, something terrible has happened! There's a fierce-looking woman outside who wants to come in."
Qiao'er hadn't even wiped the sweat from her face. Her mother told me to carry Yu'er back to the room first, and she tidied her clothes before heading out.
"Grandma!" Yu'er called out loudly. His mother picked him up and said, "My dear grandson, Grandma will be right back in a little while."
Yu'er clung to his mother's hand, looking pitiful as if everyone in the room was bullying him.
Mother still handed Yu'er over to me. At this time, what kind of fierce woman would come?
I am now buried in the earth, and I am not wearing a veil. There are still three children in the mansion to protect, so I had no choice but to carry Yu'er back to the house.
Even in this tense situation, Yu'er still remembered his parrot and reached out to me for the bird.
"Here you go, this was specially made for you by your father." I handed him the toy car, and Yu'er immediately threw it away.
"Yu'er, this is what your father made for you. If you lose it again, your mother will throw away your little pillow too."
I came out carrying his little pillow, and he climbed down from the stool and tried to snatch it. I ran around the room with the pillow in my hand, and Yu'er chased after me, laughing.
He thought I was teasing him, so he laughed especially happily.
I really wish I could go back to my childhood, when I didn't have to think about or worry about anything. Although I don't have to think about anything now, I occasionally worry that Xie Yuancheng is going out and messing around with other women, but that's just me overthinking it. If he dared to, my dad would definitely cripple him first.
While I was daydreaming, Yu'er hugged his little pillow and wouldn't let go, so I had to put it in his arms. He then took the pillow and went to play by the bed.
Anxiang laughed from the side: "Madam, it's so funny to see the eldest young master snatching the little pillow now. He won't be this amusing when he gets a little older."
"You're right. It's all thanks to the two of you that I could take care of you."
I held Wan'er and Anxiang's hands as we sat on the cushions in front of me. They are like my own sisters now, but I haven't found them my ideal husbands yet.
"Mother~" Yu'er ran over without me noticing. When he saw us holding hands, he jumped into my arms.
"You little rascal, all you do is act cute with your mother."
Yu'er hugged me and rested his arms against my chest. He has truly inherited my looks. My mother said he looks exactly like me when I was a child. It feels like going back to the same time.
There was a commotion outside, so I took Yu'er to Anxiang and asked them to stay inside and look after the three children.
Before I even reached the door, Qiao'er ran over: "Madam, something terrible has happened! The princess from the palace says she wants to stay at the manor."
"What princess?"
"It's Princess Zhaole. She married into Dongqin three months ago. I don't know why she suddenly ran back to the capital and didn't go to the palace. She wants to stay in her residence."
"Li Zhaole." I wanted to see her off, but my belly was too big, and Xie Yuancheng disagreed, so I didn't go. She came back from Dongqin.
Anxiang handed Yu'er to Wan'er and said, "Madam, let's go somewhere else for now. The old lady should be coming soon, so let's wait a bit longer."
"This is very strange. Since she has returned to the capital, shouldn't she have returned to the palace?"
"The lady was pregnant at the time, so we didn't tell you that the princess's marriage was out of necessity. But the situation is special now, and we don't know what the princess's temperament is like now, so we must not take any risks."
I watched Yu'er playing with a small ball in Wan'er's arms, and the two children in the cradle: "That's right, let's wait for Mother to come over before we talk about it."
Qiao'er stood to the side, and I told her to go and find out some information first, and to come and tell me if anything was wrong.
"Yes, I'll go right now."
Qiao'er is a year younger than Wan'er, but she is very diligent and kind to her mother, so the maids in the mansion kept her. I have Anxiang and Wan'er here, so if my mother doesn't have enough people, I'll have them help out.
I sat on the soft couch, holding Yu'er in my arms, my heart pounding. Now that Father and Xie Yuancheng had gone to see the Prime Minister, only the women of the household remained. The soldiers were only guarding the Ji residence; unless the Ji residence was attacked, they couldn't intervene.
Another incense stick has burned out, and Yu'er has started to yawn. I held him in my arms and coaxed him to sleep.
Yu'er is very easy to take care of and soothe. He falls asleep quickly in my room as long as he has a small pillow. I gently put him on the bed, and Yu'er is much more well-behaved with his eyes closed than when he runs around the mansion. He's so cute and soft.
There are two little ones in the house, but they are easier to take care of. They either eat or sleep, and you hardly have to worry about them suddenly running around.
