Chapter 85 Dad, what are you trying to do?
Qian opened her eyes at this moment, with the flesh of a cricket in her mouth.
This taste...
Not bad at all!
"My daughter is such a precious baby! This worm...this meat is so delicious, thank you, little darling!" Madam Qian said with a smile, reaching out to pick up the baby.
She wasn't faking it; the meat really did taste amazing, with a wonderful garlic flavor.
Moreover, once you take a bite of this, you'll want another...
Little Su Bao breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
Mom loves the food she makes!
So happy~~
"Giggle..." Little Su Bao laughed out loud.
Tears of envy streamed down Wang Xiuer's face.
"It smells so good!"
She also wanted a daughter, and then...
"Hiss... Wife, what are you doing!" Tang Qi quickly grabbed the big white hand around his waist.
Wang Xiuer glared at Tang Qi: "I want to have a daughter too, a soft and adorable little girl!"
Tang Qi glanced around furtively, grabbed Wang Xiuer's hand, and whispered, "Wife, I will try my best!"
"Dad, what are you trying to do?" Tang Sanbao suddenly turned around and asked.
"I'll beat you up!" Wang Xiuer picked up her son's clothes and put them a little further away.
Look, this is the difference between a son and a daughter!
"Mother, the magistrate's family has come." Tang Cheng walked in from outside with several people at this moment.
Fuman saw her good friend from afar, but because her grandmother was there, she didn't rush over as she had before.
The interaction between Madam Qian and Xiao Su Bao was witnessed by Old Madam Sima, who had just entered.
She wore a polite smile, but paused for a moment when she saw Xiao Su Bao.
This little girl seemed somewhat familiar to her; she wondered where she had seen her before.
"You must be Madam Qian. I heard Manbao mention you before. Thank you for saving her!" Old Madam Sima said softly, expressing her sincere gratitude to Madam Qian.
Fumanduo is her daughter's only bloodline in this world. She promised her daughter that she would protect Fumanduo, and she will always protect her.
Madam Qian was unaware of all this; they didn't have many formalities. Holding Xiao Su Bao, she spoke magnanimously.
“Miss Fu and my Su Bao are friends. No one saved anyone else. They were both doing it for their own children.”
Little Su Bao is still a little timid when she sees strangers.
She glanced at Madam Sima secretly, then quickly looked away.
“That won’t do. My Manbao is very lively and mischievous. She’s always getting into trouble. As her grandmother, I can’t interfere too much…” She sighed, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
Little Su Bao raised her head when she heard this.
Her maternal grandmother used to say the same thing to outsiders!
Every time, Xiao Su Bao feels a tightness in her chest and feels very uncomfortable.
She clenched her thin little hands and looked up at Madam Sima.
The little bundle of joy was a bit stubborn, and her sweet little voice held a hint of defense as she said, "Grandma is wrong!"
Madam Sima was taken aback and looked down at Xiao Su Bao!
Her status was not low; even the person in the palace had to give her some face over the years.
Because she valued rules and regulations, few children in the capital were not afraid of her.
The smile on her face faded, and her gaze fell on the little bundle of milk.
"What do you think is wrong with me?" Her calm tone made everyone feel a sense of pressure.
Tang Cheng and a few others quietly protected Qian Shi.
Even Wang Xiuer stood behind Qian Shi, her intention to protect her was quite obvious.
"Grandma, please don't be angry. Little Su Bao is still young. You're right, I always get into trouble and I'm naughty. Please don't be angry with Little Su Bao, okay? If you're going to punish someone, punish me!"
Before Xiao Su Bao could speak, Fu Manduo, who had been behaving himself, quickly stood in front of Xiao Su Bao and Qian Shi to protect them.
Madam Sima, however, continued to look at Xiao Su Bao, ignoring her granddaughter's expression.
"Little girl, tell me, what did I do wrong?" she asked Xiao Su Bao softly.
Madam Sima wore a dark purple cloud-patterned long robe and a black headband inlaid with gemstones.
She didn't wear many jewels, just a simple white jade hairpin.
But she possessed an aura that had been cultivated over many years.
Little Su Bao was a little scared and wanted to hide.
But then she remembered things from her past!
Then look at the good friends I finally made.
The little girl looked up, her voice trembling slightly, but she still said, "You're wrong. Sister Fu is a good person. She likes you. She'll be sad if she hears you say that about her!"
Fu Manduo clenched his fists, lowered his head, and felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
She was cheerful and mischievous, but she never showed the slightest disrespect to her maternal grandmother.
She knew her maternal grandmother disliked her because her mother had died giving birth to her.
When the old woman heard what Xiao Su Bao said, she frowned slightly and was about to scold her.
Madam Sima shook her head.
The old lady was puzzled. She was always strict and never showed any leniency to her own daughters or cousins.
If anyone contradicts her, they will be punished by kneeling and copying books, or even by being beaten with a stick.
Little Su Bao is so young, I'm afraid none of them will do!
"Grandma, Sister Fu is very good, very good. Could you please not talk about her like that in public anymore?" The little girl was both expectant and nervous, as if she had transformed into Fu Manduo herself.
Madam Sima paused upon hearing the little girl's words.
Madam Sima looked down at Fu Manduo and asked, "Do you like me?"
Fu Manduo lowered his head, but said heavily, "Yes! I love my grandmother, I love her very much!"
When she was born, Minister Fulin was still away.
It was Old Madam Sima who rescued her from the Fu family. At that time, she was on the verge of death, and even the imperial physicians could not save her.
But Madam Sima held her tightly to her chest, warming her body little by little.
For the first three years, she grew up in Madam Sima's courtyard.
Lady Sima gave birth to a son and a daughter. Her son died in battle, leaving behind grandchildren, while her daughter died in childbirth.
Fu Manduo had heard it said countless times, and she remembered it clearly.
Therefore, she liked Madam Sima very much, but she was also afraid of her and felt guilty.
"Grandmother, please don't be angry with Su Bao. If you must punish someone, punish me instead!" she said to Madam Sima.
Madam Qian was unaware of what had happened. She protected Xiao Su Bao, thinking to herself that if this old lady really wanted to punish her, she would take her daughter's place!
"Please forgive him, Madam. The child is just being naive and often speaks the truth. Please don't take it to heart!" Madam Qian suddenly said from the side.
Oh no, oh no! The old nanny's eyelids twitched. She was Fu Manduo's biological mother's wet nurse and had served the old lady for many years.
I know the old lady's personality!
This family must have really angered the old lady!
"You're quite interesting too. What, you also think I said the child was wrong!" Old Madam Sima looked at Madam Qian, her eyes revealing a hint of pressure.
Is Qian trying to protect Xiao Su Bao and fight against her?
I still have to throw this little darling out for my own sake...
"Hmph!" she snorted coldly, and then...
