Chapter 169 Mother, please don't be angry with your second sister-in-law... I'm tough, I'm not afraid of pain.
Looking at Fu Manduo, Xiao Su Bao started talking about what had happened before.
"Actually, it's just... like this and that..."
The little baby spoke slowly but deliberately, and upon hearing Fu Manduo's voice, he instantly became absorbed in the conversation.
"Wow... So, after you hit the tiger's head, were you injured?" Fu Manduo nervously looked Xiao Su Bao up and down.
The little dumpling shook its head and grabbed the hand that Fu Manduo was holding.
"No, later a lot of little rabbits came, and big steamed buns came too, and they protected us!" the little dumpling said in a sweet, cuddly voice.
Wang Xiuer was heartbroken. Fortunately, when she bathed Xiao Su Bao just now, the little dumpling didn't have any wounds on its body.
She couldn't help but say, "Don't do dangerous things like that again. How old are you?!"
Fu Manduo nodded in agreement, breathed a sigh of relief, and hugged Xiao Su Bao tightly.
She felt like she had almost lost this good friend!
If her good friend hadn't taken the children out, and had gone to that cave, the place where the children were kept would have been smashed by rocks, and there would have been many broken rocks around it.
If Xiao Su Bao hadn't led the children away then and had gotten stuck in the cave, perhaps...
"My good friend, you are so brave! You are a warrior of our Great Shang Kingdom!" Fu Manduo said earnestly.
Little Su Bao's cheeks flushed; she was a little embarrassed by the praise.
However, Wang Xiuer's expression turned serious as she looked at the two maids.
“Miss Fu is not a hero. She has succeeded, but what if she had failed?” Wang Xiuer said seriously.
Little Su Bao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Wang Xiuer with curiosity.
But my mother told me to be kind!
Wang Xiuer looked at the two little girls, and decided to put them on the bed, roll up her sleeves, and start talking to them.
“You are women, and there are only so many things you can do. Saving lives is a matter for the government. If the government can’t handle it, what are you doing running around there, delivering vegetables to them?”
"Furthermore, Miss Fu, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. You are from an official family, and those storybooks are full of tales of how many officials' daughters were deceived. Don't be so naive as to let those foolish scholars cloud your judgment..."
"Let me tell you, back then, when I took a liking to Tang Qi..."
As soon as Wang Xiuer spoke, she immediately attracted the attention of the two little girls.
Before long, Madam Qian came in from outside, carrying two bowls of noodles.
Before even entering the door, I heard the voice of my second daughter-in-law.
"Therefore, when a woman looks for a husband, she must find one who suits her heart, otherwise..."
The Qian family...
That brat, what kind of nonsense is she spouting!
If Lord Fu finds out, they'll surely be resented!
"Ahem... Second son's wife... What nonsense are you spouting? You talk too much, don't you!" Madam Qian walked in carrying two bowls of noodles. Little Tiger opened the door, and even Little Tiger's usually expressionless face had a suspicious blush.
"Mother...please don't be angry...what I said is true..." Wang Xiuer wanted to argue, but she saw Qian put down two bowls of noodles and rush towards her.
She quickly hid behind the two little girls, only her head showing.
But Madam Qian would not let her off the hook. This girl has no sense of propriety when it comes to her words; she really needs to be taught a lesson.
Qian rolled up her sleeves, reached out and grabbed Wang Xiuer's ear...
"Oh, Your Majesty, Your Majesty... I was wrong, please don't be angry, don't ruin your health for such a scoundrel like me. If you want to hit me, just hit me a couple of times to vent your anger... please don't pull my ears!" Wang Xiuer looked at Qian Shi pitifully, her whole body tilted to one side.
Although Qian was shorter than her, she still exuded an imposing aura when standing in front of her.
She glanced back at Xiao Su Bao and Fu Man Duo, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"You two go and eat first. Once you've eaten your fill, go to bed early!" When Madam Qian looked at the two children, her smile was still quite warm, and her voice was very gentle.
Little Su Bao looked at her second sister-in-law, then at her mother, and couldn't help but plead for her sister-in-law: "Mom, please don't be angry with my second sister-in-law... I'm tough, if you're angry, you can hit me a couple of times, I'm not afraid of pain!"
The little dumpling looked up with anxious eyes. There were few people who were kind to her, but she wanted to be kind to those who were.
My second sister-in-law likes me, she genuinely likes me and protects me, and the little dumpling also wants to protect them...
"Oh no, Mother, hit me if you want, it's all my fault, it has nothing to do with my little sister..." Wang Xiuer was fine just now, but now her eyes turned red instantly. She hugged Xiao Su Bao and actually cried!
"Su Bao..." Wang Xiuer said affectionately, looking pitiful.
"Second sister-in-law..." Little Su Bao, tears welling up in her eyes, was being held in someone's arms.
The Qian family...
Take a deep breath. Don't get angry, don't get angry. The second son's wife is my own daughter-in-law. I can't kill her, I can't replace her. Even if I replace my son, I can't replace my daughter-in-law!
“Wang Xiuer…” Madam Qian called out through gritted teeth.
"Mother, I'm here!" Wang Xiuer immediately stood up and obediently stood beside Qian Shi. Her well-behaved appearance made Xiao Su Bao wonder if she should feel sorry for her now...
Ms. Qian looked down at the bewildered little girl and reached out to pick her up.
Little Su Bao hugged Qian Shi's neck, and the little tassel on her neck glanced at Qian Shi before curling up into a scarf.
"Sweetie, Mommy isn't angry, and I won't hit you... Your second sister-in-law. Mommy made noodles and poached two eggs for you. Hurry up and finish eating so you can go to sleep." Madam Qian carried the little dumpling to the table.
Fu Manduo followed along, blinking as she looked at Wang Xiuer and then at Qian Shi, somewhat bewildered.
Is this the relationship between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?
She remembered that when her mother was alive, she would never dare to yell at her grandmother and was always very respectful.
But she noticed that Tang Ersao and Aunt Qian had a really good relationship.
Qian was at her wits' end with this shrewish daughter-in-law, so she could only glare at her before noticing that Fu Manduo was also looking at her.
"Miss Fu, why don't you come and have some noodles too!" she said to Fu Manduo with a smile.
Fu Man was worried about Xiao Su Bao and insisted on going with her. She could tell that the little girl was sincere towards their daughter.
Fu Manduo hesitated for a moment, but still followed Qian Shi over.
There were two bowls of noodles on the table, which made her hungry again, even though she had just eaten.
Little Su Bao has a big appetite, and she figured one bowl might not be enough, so she made more.
I didn't expect Fu Manduo to be here.
"Come on, have something to eat before we talk!" Qian simply placed two bowls of noodles in front of the two girls.
"Mother, what about mine?" Wang Xiuer couldn't help but lean over and ask.
"Go to the kitchen yourself!" Madam Qian said irritably.
She only has two hands, how could she possibly carry so much stuff?
Wang Xiuer's eyes lit up; she wanted to make something delicious for Xiao Su Bao...
Okay, I'll just cook my own specialty dish!
