Jiang Ranli nodded in satisfaction. Being recognized by others was something to be happy about, but when she looked at the Fourteenth Prince, she thought of the priceless jade bracelet.
"Fourteenth Master, that jade bracelet..."
"You keep that jade bracelet. I told you I would give it to you, and there is absolutely no reason for me to take it back."
The Fourteenth Prince interrupted Jiang Ranli, a hint of impatience on his handsome face.
This guy is really something. His temper has been getting worse and worse over the years.
Jiang Ranli sighed silently. The Fourteenth Prince's temper was good at one moment and suddenly turned hostile at the next. Compared with more than three years ago, he had changed a lot.
When he returned to the mansion, it was already sunset. As Jiang Ranli walked into Linfeng Courtyard, he saw Hongzheng being held by a maid, standing in the yard with tears on his face.
"What happened?" Seeing Hongzheng's cute little face covered with tears, Jiang Ranli immediately frowned and asked the old woman who was taking care of him.
Although Hongzheng is Yinzhen's son and the eldest prince in this mansion, his biological mother's status is too low. Now Dong E is under house arrest. Jiang Ranli is worried that someone will take advantage of her and Yinzhen's absence and fail to take good care of him.
"Auntie".
Without waiting for the old woman to reply, Hong Zheng stretched out his short, fat arms when he saw Jiang Ranli, asking her to hug him, with tears in his big eyes.
Seeing Hongzheng's pitiful appearance, Jiang Ranli, as a mother, immediately felt extremely distressed and quickly reached out to take him in.
"In reply to Concubine Madam, the eldest prince looked for you all day but couldn't find you, so he started crying. No matter how I tried to comfort him, it was useless. Now that he saw Concubine Madam, you stopped crying immediately. It seems that Concubine Madam, you are truly a Bodhisattva in heaven," the old woman explained the reason for the tears on Hongzheng's face, and at the same time did not forget to flatter Jiang Ranli.
However, Jiang Ranli didn't listen to her flattering words at all, and was concentrating on wiping Hongzheng's tears.
"Didn't aunt and father tell you when they left that they would be back late today? Why are you crying?"
Jiang Ranli carried Hongzheng to the stone table in the yard and put him down. While wiping his tears, she asked him the reason in a low voice.
"Hongzheng misses his aunt," Hongzheng said, tears streaming down his eyes again.
He lost his mother since he was born. With Dong E's personality, it was not easy for her to allow him to grow up safely, let alone take good care of him. Although Min Yan had a good relationship with him, Min Yan was also a child and could never give him the care of his mother until Jiang Ranli appeared.
In Hongzheng's little heart, Jiang Ranli is his favorite person in the world. Although they have only been together for a short time, Hongzheng just likes her very much.
"Auntie also misses Hongzheng, look what this is."
Jiang Ranli said this and asked Qiudie to take out the things she bought from outside, which included many small toys she bought.
When Hongzheng saw it, he immediately smiled happily. His two little fingers as big as lotus root nodes grabbed the toys and laughed very happily.
Seeing that he stopped crying, Jiang Ranli breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart also felt sad, thinking that he was too pitiful.
Just as she was thinking, Jiang Ranli was suddenly kissed on the face by something soft. When she came to her senses, she saw Hongzheng looking at her cautiously and expectantly.
"You little naughty boy, how dare you kiss your aunt secretly? Come here, today your aunt must kiss you back."
Jiang Ranli was stunned for a moment but quickly came back to her senses. She immediately hugged Hongzheng in her arms and kissed him several times on his fair and tender face.
