Chapter 235 Snowball
Xiao Baozhu noticed her overly thin figure and the obvious old age on her face, and a slight bitterness rose in her heart.
Looking at this remote and desolate yard, she felt even more uncomfortable.
Compared with the situation of the first and second branches of the Sun family, the third branch was treated too harshly.
Even if the third roommate moves out alone, he can still live in a more decent place than he does now.
But Madam Sun was still alive and she did not agree to divide the family, so the third branch was not qualified to be separated alone.
After all, this is someone else's family affair. Even if Xiao Baozhu feels unfair, she has no right to comment.
Xiao Baozhu noticed Zhen's nervousness, so she ordered someone to bring up the lion dog. She smiled and said, "Third aunt, I've got a cute and well-behaved pet. I thought you'd be bored at home, and having it around would help alleviate your boredom. Take a look at it. Do you like it?"
The palace maid brought the small cage forward and removed the black cloth on it, and the lion dog appeared in front of Zhen.
It is very friendly. When it arrives in an unfamiliar environment or meets strangers, it is not afraid at all. It wags its tail, sticks out its tongue, drools, and is very lively.
Zhen fell in love with it almost at first sight and couldn't take her eyes off it.
When Xiao Baozhu took it out, it started to wriggle in her arms, which made her heart soften and her reluctance to let it go became stronger, but she still sent it to Zhen's arms.
"Third aunt, please hug it."
Zhen was fond of him, but she was a little hesitant to reach out. "How can I do this? How can I take away someone's love?"
Xiao Baozhu smiled and said, "Didn't Sun Muzhi tell you? This was found especially for you. He said you'd be bored being alone, and having a pet to keep you company would help alleviate your boredom. It's also a way to repay him for saving my life that day."
After hearing this, Zhen dared to reach out to take it.
The lion dog didn't recognize people. When it got to Zhen's arms, it still nuzzled around happily and stretched out its pink tongue to lick her, which made Zhen's heart soften.
For no reason, she thought of the young Sun Muzhi.
She found him in the grass by the roadside on her way to burn incense.
At that time, he was just a little baby, crying so pitifully. After being held in her arms, he stopped crying immediately, looked at her with a pair of watery eyes, and smiled at her.
At that time, Zhen had just experienced the pain of losing her husband, and her heart was shrouded in a deep haze.
It was not until she saw him and saw his smile that Zhen's gloomy mood seemed to be illuminated by a ray of sunshine, and her life finally had a new hope.
The little baby grew up and walked out of the inner house to fight for his own life. Zhen was happy for him, but she also felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.
Normally, she doesn't even have anyone to talk to.
It turned out that he had seen all of this and even asked for such a pet for her.
Zhen's eyes were a little swollen, and her movements of stroking its head became more gentle.
"I love so much."
Xiao Baozhu breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm glad you like it. It doesn't have a name yet, so please give it a name, Third Aunt."
A gentle smile appeared in Zhen's eyes. "It's completely white, so let's call it Xuetuan."
Xiao Baozhu read the name and nodded with a smile.
"Xuetuan, what a great name! From now on, you will be called Xuetuan, okay?"
It seemed to understand, and its little tail was wagging wildly, looking very happy.
In addition to Xuetuan, Xiao Baozhu also sent a lot of supplements and valuable items, and moved them all in at once.
Zhen even said that it was impossible. Xiao Baozhu said with a serious face, "All of this is to thank Sun Muzhi for saving my life that day. Don't you think my life is not worth this?"
Zhen quickly waved her hands, "Of course not... It was Amu who saved the princess, but all these gifts are for me. How can I accept this?"
"You are his mother. His only wish is for you to be healthy and happy. Giving you a gift is naturally the best way to repay him. Moreover, he is a man, so it would be somewhat inappropriate for me to give him a gift without thinking."
Zhen was convinced by her and stopped arguing.
At the same time, she felt a warm feeling in her heart.
I did nothing wrong by standing up for that child.
Although they are not related by blood, they are no different from biological mother and son.
Xiao Baozhu was not in a hurry to leave. She was reluctant to leave Xuetuan, so she stayed and played with Zhen.
When the atmosphere was just right, the maid Cuiping came in from outside, wiping her tears. Upon closer inspection, there was a clear slap mark on her face.
"What's going on?"
Cuiping cried, "The kitchen staff are getting more and more unreasonable. When I went to get some food just now, they gave me these leftovers. I argued with them and got slapped. I brought up the Third Young Master's contribution, but those stubborn servants kept talking nonsense, saying, saying..."
Cuiping couldn't continue speaking, and there was a hint of anger on Zhen's face, but because Xiao Baozhu was there, she forced herself to hold it back.
But Xiao Baozhu was not one to be patient. She asked coldly, "What else did they say?"
"They also said that the Third Young Master was a bastard and unworthy of the Sun family's food. Even if he had made some trivial contributions, they were not worth mentioning."
When Zhen heard the word "bastard", her chest heaved up and down and her body became a little unstable.
Xiao Baozhu was furious. "How dare you slander even my savior like that! You lead the way, and I'll go meet that wicked slave."
Xiao Baozhu left in a hurry, and Zhen couldn't stop her.
She wanted to chase after him, but she was so angry that she felt uncomfortable in her heart, so she could only ask her trusted nanny to follow him and watch him carefully to make sure he didn't cause any trouble.
Xuetuan seemed to sense Zhen's uneasy mood, and licked the back of her hand back and forth with its tongue. Zhen stroked its head, and her heart finally calmed down a little.
It took more than half an hour before Xiao Baozhu came back.
Zhen hurried forward and asked, "Princess, how are you? Have you been wronged?"
Xiao Baozhu was like a victorious rooster, with her head held high and her chest puffed out, her face full of pride.
"How could a mere clown let this princess suffer any injustice?"
Cuiping, who was crying just now, is now beaming with joy.
"Madam, you didn't see it just now. The princess was very powerful. She went up and slapped Mrs. Li from the kitchen several times, and her face was swollen like a pig's head."
"The princess said that our young master is listed in the Sun family tree and is a legitimate member of the Sun family. In the end, Madam Li slapped herself in the face while admitting her fault, scolding herself for being disrespectful and looking down on others."
"The Madam came over upon hearing the news, her face grimacing. But the princess didn't even give her face. She argued with reason and evidence, leaving her speechless and unable to refute. She was forced to admit that she was not in a good position to control her subordinates. This is the first time I've seen the Madam humiliated in front of others like that. It was so satisfying. The princess is truly amazing!"
