"Mother, I won't leave. I want you." The eldest princess cried while hugging Li Gege's thighs.
Even though her mother was not very nice to her, scolded her, and beat her, she was still her mother in her heart.
Especially when she heard her mother speaking to her so gently, the eldest princess didn't want to leave her mother even more.
"Be good, don't cry. Didn't we agree that if you miss mother, let the wet nurse tell mother, and mother will definitely come to see you." Li pretended to be a loving mother and said reluctantly.
"Wow, wow, I don't want to leave my mother."
Although Li was not kind to the eldest princess, the eldest princess still had Li as her mother in her heart.
"Gege Li, it's getting late. The eldest princess should leave." Liu Zhengde reminded at the right time.
Li Gege cursed the dog slave in her heart, then squatted down and said a few words to Da Gege, saying that she would go to see her when she was free, and asked her to listen to the nanny and so on.
Then the eldest princess's wet nurse took the eldest princess away.
The eldest princess was taken to the front yard that was specially vacated for her. The nanny that the Fourth Master asked Concubine De to find for the eldest princess had also arrived.
Liu Zhengde brought the eldest princess here, gave her some detailed instructions, and then left.
When the Fourth Master came back, he heard that the eldest princess had moved to the front yard, so he changed his clothes and came to see her.
When the eldest princess saw her father, although she was a little afraid of him, she still walked up to him and saluted him politely.
"Greetings to Father." The eldest princess' voice was still a little timid.
When the Fourth Master saw the eldest princess like this, he became even more dissatisfied with Li.
How could he not be angry when his good princess was raised like this?
However, he did not show these on his face, for he was afraid of scaring his own eldest princess.
"Get up." The Fourth Master helped her up, touched her little head and said, "You don't have to be so reserved when you're with your father in the future."
The Fourth Master took her hand and sat on the couch, and said to her gently: "Father has neglected you in the past. Now that you have moved to the front yard, just be yourself."
"You have to remember, you are the eldest princess in the mansion. If someone bullies you, just speak up boldly. Don't be afraid, okay?"
"I understand, Ama."
The eldest princess also wanted to be close to her father, but every time her father came, her mother would soon ask the wet nurse to take her away.
Moreover, the Fourth Master often has a stern face, so it is understandable that the eldest princess would be a little scared.
But now I see Ama holding my hand and speaking to me gently.
This made the eldest princess feel less afraid of the Fourth Master.
"Are you used to living here, Princess?" the Fourth Master looked at her and asked.
The eldest princess shook her head and said, "Father, can I go back and live with my mother?"
The eldest princess still wants to return to Li.
The Fourth Master didn't say no but asked, "The eldest princess is also four years old this year, right?"
The eldest princess nodded.
"Big Princess has grown up. You should learn to be independent. If you miss your mother, you can go back to see her."
The Fourth Master tried to reason with her.
When the eldest princess heard this, she lowered her head sadly.
When the Fourth Master saw her like this, he knew that she was reluctant to leave Li.
"Big Princess, tell Father, are you happy with your mother?" The Fourth Master looked at the Big Princess who lowered her head and spoke softly.
The eldest princess looked up in some confusion, as if she didn't know why her father said that, and her eyes were a little dazed for a moment.
The eldest princess shook her head.
Every time her mother called her over, she was actually a little scared.
She wanted her mother to hug her and talk to her softly, but every time she went to her mother, her mother looked unhappy.
Sometimes he would be mean to her, saying she was not motivated and asking why she was not a boy.
The Fourth Master was surprised. Seeing how much she wanted to return to Li, he thought she would say she was happy.
However, when I think about what Li did to the eldest princess, although the eldest princess is young, she is not an ignorant baby.
That's not surprising.
"If you know you're unhappy, why do you still want to go back?" This is what the Fourth Master couldn't understand.
"But she is my mother. Even though she gets angry sometimes, I still want to stay with her."
The Fourth Master didn't expect her to say that. "Although you can't live with your mother, if you want to see her, you can still go find her when you have time. This has nothing to do with you living in the front yard."
"Really, Father? Then can I go see mother tomorrow?" The eldest princess looked at the fourth master expectantly.
"Okay, but you have to complete what the governess teaches you." Since the Fourth Master brought the eldest princess to the front yard, he naturally didn't want Li to interfere too much in the eldest princess's affairs.
However, if the eldest princess wanted to see Li, he would not stop her.
I hope Li can come to her senses after this incident and treat the eldest princess better in the future. Otherwise...
"I understand, Father. I will definitely listen carefully to what the governess says." The eldest princess was happy knowing that she could go back to see her mother tomorrow.
As for what Li said to her, she was too young to remember so much.
——
That day, Wen Mianmian was basking in the sun with the three little ones in her yard, and Wang An trotted back to Zizhuyuan with a happy face.
"Wang An, why are you running in so fast?" Shan Cha asked in confusion when she saw Wang An running in hurriedly.
"Good news." Wang An looked at Wen Mianmian happily, "Master, the Third Young Master Wen passed the exam and even ranked first."
Wen Mianmian was lying on the recliner. When she heard Wang An's words, she sat up in surprise.
"real."
"Really? The doorman just said that someone from the Wen family said there's a letter here." Wang An handed the envelope to Wen Mianmian.
Wen Mianmian took it, opened the letter, and saw the contents of the letter. A happy smile appeared on her face.
The letter said that my third brother had passed the imperial examination and was going to the palace to meet the emperor tomorrow.
If all goes well, maybe I can stay in the capital and get a job, so that my third brother can also stay in the capital.
My eldest brother and sister-in-law opened several shops in Beijing, and business in each shop was very good. They had decided to settle down in the capital.
It would be great if my third brother could also stay in the capital.
"Congratulations, Concubine." Everyone knelt down to congratulate Wen Mianmian.
"Everyone, get up. Something good is happening today and everyone will get a reward." Wen Mianmian was really happy.
Everyone was very happy to hear that there was a reward.
When the Fourth Master came later, he naturally knew about this matter. After all, it was he who had the imperial edict delivered to the Wen Mansion.
However, he didn't expect that after the Wen family learned the news, they immediately sent someone to send a letter to Mianmian.
It can be seen that the relationship between their family is really very good.
"Master, you are back."
