Little Meatball was taught by Jiang Ranli not to accept other people's things since she was a child. At this time, Dong E handed something to her and claimed to be her mother, which made her frown slightly. For some reason, she didn't like the person who claimed to be her mother.
Seeing that Dong E's expression became more solemn because of the little meatball's hesitation, Jiang Ranli quickly came back to his senses, "Guoguo, why don't you thank the lady quickly."
Jiang Ranli didn't want the little boy to call Dong E's mother, as she would always be the only mother of her child.
The little meatball was very smart. After hearing what Jiang Ranli said, he immediately reached out to take the thing in Dong E's hand and said, "Thank you, Madam."
Dong E noticed Jiang Ranli's word game, and her hands, which were covered with exquisite armor, clenched a little. Her carefully painted face was slightly distorted. She was the legitimate wife of this mansion, and all children born to women had to call her "mother", but Jiang Ranli did not do that.
"Mother, Minyan pays her respects to you."
"Hongzheng pays his respects to his mother."
Minyan and Hongzheng walked over, and the two children, one big and one small, bowed respectfully to Dong E.
Hearing their voices, Dong E's expression eased a little. She gestured to Min Yan and Hong Zheng to stand up, and looked at Jiang Ranli with her beautiful eyes.
Jiang Ranli knew what Dong E meant. She was telling her that her little boy should call her "mother" just like Minyan and Hongzheng.
However, even though she knew it, Jiang Ranli did not intend to compromise. Even if it broke the peace that Dong E was pretending to maintain, she did not want her child to call another woman "mother", and that woman was Dong E.
"Li'er, I have almost cleaned up my house today. Let me take care of Guoguo."
Looking at Dong E's leaving back, Jiang Fan spoke with a serious look in his eyes.
Hearing this, Jiang Ranli nodded and said, "Okay, this mansion is indeed not suitable for children to grow up in."
To be honest, Jiang Ranli didn't want to be separated from the little meatball, even though Jiang Fan's mansion was not far from the Ninth Prince's mansion. No mother in the world would be willing to be separated from her child. But now Dong E in the mansion was watching her covetously, and no one knew what she would do. For the safety of the little meatball, Jiang Ranli had to separate from the little meatball no matter how reluctant he was.
"Ms. Dong E looks dignified and generous, but there is always a sinister glint in her eyes. Did nothing really happen during the time you were back in Beijing?" Jiang Fan asked.
Yesterday, Jiang Ranli had already told Jiang Fan what happened after returning to the capital, but he concealed the fact that he was taken away by Dong E and tortured and disfigured.
"What could happen to me? Stop thinking about it. By the way, I'll prepare some things later. Remember to use some on Guoguo's face every day. The Chinese New Year is less than a month away, and I don't want the little guy to still be dark-skinned during the New Year," Jiang Ran said, changing the subject.
Jiang Fan knew that she didn't want to talk too much about what happened in the mansion, so he just went along with her and said, "Okay, I got it, don't worry."
"But the news of Guoguo's return cannot be concealed. I think Concubine Yi will know it tomorrow. At that time, she will definitely let me bring Guoguo into the palace. What do you think we should do with Guoguo in this condition now?"
The little boy got tanned. The maids, servants and eunuchs in the mansion were all pointing fingers and laughing behind his back. The palace was a place where people were killed. Who knew who would say something. Jiang Ranli didn't want her child to be looked at like a monkey, nor did she want her child to be pointed at.
