The chubby girl was completely unaware, excitedly nestled in Huo Chenyi's arms, and proudly stuck her tongue out at her fifth brother.
"Hehehe!"
"Hmm~"
Huo Chenyi let out a soft groan.
Chi Tang immediately looked over.
Because they were so close, the first thing Chi Tang noticed was that his wife's ears had turned red!
She grew anxious: "Wife, are you still horny?"
Why are your ears red?
Has it caught fire again?
Others: Are you being horny?
Aunt Chi, Uncle Chi, and the others were all kind-hearted and didn't say anything while trying not to laugh.
As for Brother Wu, he didn't quite understand.
And Princess Duanyang...
Hahahaha!!!!
The usually dignified Princess was seen laughing so hard she collapsed onto the bed, pounding on it!
Chi Tang panicked, "What's wrong!"
Why are you laughing like that?
This mother is so unreliable!
My son has a fever.
The mother was almost laughing herself to death?
"My son, are you... are you feeling horny?" Princess Duanyang laughed as she wiped away tears from the corners of her eyes, teasing her son.
Although Huo Chenyi is only five or six years old, he grew up in the capital.
How could a child raised in a noble family in the capital be innocent and naive?
Huo Chenyi's neck turned red, and he glared at Princess Duanyang with some annoyance.
"Hey, that's what Tangtang said. Why aren't you glaring at Tangtang? You're glaring at your mother instead! You biased little brat!"
Princess Duanyang tapped Huo Chenyi's forehead, then took the opportunity to touch it.
"It's not very hot. After taking the medicine for another two days, I should be almost fully recovered."
Make a fuss as it may, laugh as it may.
How could a mother not care about her son's health?
"snort."
Chi Tang stuck his butt out, arching his backside, burying his head in his wife's arms, and then his butt was sticking up.
How embarrassing!
She finally understood.
It's because her pronunciation is inaccurate; she said "fever" instead of "fever"...
When has a big shot like you ever done something so shameful?
This wretched little body!
If the hardware doesn't meet the standards, it's useless no matter how fluent her Mandarin is!
"Tangtang, it's okay. Our Tangtang is only seven months old and she can already say so many words. She's better than all of them! They're all clearly not as good as Tangtang, yet they still make fun of her!"
Huo Chenyi immediately went to coax Chi Tang.
Others: ...
Go ahead and try to appease her.
Why is this involving personal attacks?
However, seeing how well Huo Chenyi and Chi Tang got along, everyone else was happy.
When it was time for dinner, Chu Jiu brought news of Chi Dashan and Li Mingfan.
"...He was given thirty strokes of the cane and forced to do hard labor for six months."
Both the Chi and Li families breathed a sigh of relief.
Aunt Chi felt relieved: "Thank goodness."
Aunt Li also said, "Yes, I was so worried."
"I can finally put my mind at ease," said Sister-in-law Chi, wiping away her tears with embarrassment.
She was constantly worried, but she couldn't urge Chenyi, so she could only wait anxiously like this.
The experience itself is something only the person experiencing it can truly understand.
Seeing the satisfied faces of the Chi and Li families, Princess Duanyang asked curiously, "Don't you think it's unfair? Someone framed you, and you had no choice but to try to save people, yet you were punished in the end."
And she and Chenyi are there too.
Didn't you ever think of asking them for help?
After all, sometimes, a single word from them could save those two from punishment.
"Even if we had no other choice, we still kidnapped prisoners, which is against the law... If it weren't for Chenyi, these two kids wouldn't have received such a light punishment. It's our fault, we admit it!"
"Yes, as long as both children are safe and sound, we won't complain!"
"I was really worried about officials protecting each other, so this is great!"
Hearing the satisfied words of the two families, Princess Duanyang felt quite uneasy.
How low must one's expectations of the imperial court be to be so easily satisfied?
"Your Highness, you don't know, but when we passed through Jin Yang Town before, the gatekeeper actually demanded five taels of silver per person as a toll! And the magistrate of Qing Shui County colluded with Wang Zhi... Now we can all accept it."
Aunt Chi spoke frankly.
There's bound to be some ulterior motive involved.
She could never forget how unbearable the despair of being blocked from Jin Yang Town was!
Now that they have access to the eldest princess, they naturally want to complain!
"Five taels of silver for the toll?" Princess Duanyang exclaimed in surprise.
She suddenly stood up.
Although she never participated in court affairs, she was not unaware that the magistrate of Jin Yang Town had recently been commended by Emperor Huiwu.
It was because Jin Yang Town accepted all the people who fled there and didn't let them go to the capital!
For this reason, Emperor Huiwu specially rewarded the magistrates of Jinyang Town and three surrounding towns who accepted refugees.
"Didn't they say they accepted all refugees?"
"How could that be? How many refugees could afford five taels of silver for the toll? Besides, there were bandits causing trouble near Jin Yang Town at the time, so we had no choice but to go to Jin Yang Town!"
Later, we lost one of our children. To find him, we ran in that direction, crossing over a dozen mountains to reach Qingshui Town.
Old Man Chi said in a deep, muffled voice.
Recalling that period, the old man's face was filled with worry.
The Li family members were even wiping away tears.
Because their old lady is buried in those mountains!
"On the ninth day, immediately send people to Jin Yang Town to investigate secretly! Send some experts," Huo Chenyi immediately ordered.
