Without waiting for Ye Li to speak, Mo Xiaobao poked his head out from behind Ye Li. "Mother, it's not like that. I didn't do it on purpose." His big black eyes were wet as they looked around. The hearts of the surrounding madams and misses immediately went to the side.
Ye Li bent over with a smile and rubbed her son's head. "Then what happened? Tell Niangqin? "
Mo Xiaobao said aggrievedly, "I saw a puppy fall into the water over there, so I had someone pull it out. I and Xiao Leng were thinking of a way to dry the puppy's fur. This auntie suddenly wanted to pat me from behind. I was scared and carried the puppy out. Then … mother, I didn't deliberately dirty the auntie's clothes … but … this auntie was very angry. Mother, can we compensate her with another set of clothes? I don't have money, so mother will pay for me. When I grow up, I will definitely earn money to return it to mother. "
Looking at the handsome child who didn't even reach their thighs seriously discussing with his mother, the hearts of the madams and misses present softened. If they had the same background as Ye Li, they would know a word. Cute. The group of pampered madams and misses were instantly turned over by this cute and obedient child who dared to admit his mistake.
"Little shizi, this was just an accident. I don't think Young Madam Mu will mind." Someone quickly comforted him.
"Really?" Mo Xiaobao raised his head and looked at the madam who spoke. His big wet eyes were filled with worry.
"Of course it's true. A set of clothes isn't worth much. Little shizi doesn't need to take it to heart. "That madam hurriedly guaranteed, completely ignoring the victim's family standing on the side. The Shadow Guard on the side looked at Mo Xiaobao with eyes full of admiration. Their family's little shizi was so young, yet he already knew the art of lying. What was avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial. What was lying without blinking. He really … had a bright future. Of course, if one ignored the fact that the puppy that fell into the water was accidentally dropped by the Little Heir, if one ignored the fact that the puppy only fell after Young Mistress Mu entered the Imperial Garden, if one ignored the fact that the puppy was wet and colorful after the Little Heir wiped it dry. Actually, their Little Heir wasn't lying.
She then looked at the pitiful faces of the women who had been deceived by the Little Heir and secretly shook her head. If they had the time to pity the Little Heir, who sometimes even made the Prince suffer in silence, they might as well pity the puppy that had run off to take a bath somewhere.
Ye Li patted her son's little head. She seemed to be comforting him, but in fact, she was warning him not to overdo it. Mo Xiaobao blinked and obediently shrunk back to Ye Li's side. Holding Leng Junhan's hand with his left hand and Mu Lie with his right, he looked like an obedient child.
Ye Li looked at Young Madam Mu who was so angry that her face turned green. She smiled faintly and said, "It's my son's mischievous behavior. Please forgive him. Her son and Young Master Mu hit it off at first sight. Let them play together for a while. What do you think, Young Madam? " A trace of disgust flashed across Young Madam Mu's face. She said coldly, "Mu Lie is naughty and rude by nature. I'm afraid he will lead the Little Heir astray."
Everyone was silent. Was there something wrong with this woman's brain? Most people could guess the reason for Young Madam Mu's behavior. After all, many people knew that the Little Heir of Marquis Muyang's birth mother was the capital's number one dancer, Yaoji. However, as a smart Madam, was it really good to ruin the reputation of the only male in the family, not to mention whether they could offend the Prince Ding Mansion now? They had been married for several years and had not given birth to a daughter. Who knew if they would have to rely on this illegitimate son in the future.
Ye Li frowned with displeasure. "Young Madam Mu was still questioning the upbringing of the Prince Ding Mansion just now. It seems that Young Madam Mu doesn't think that the Little Heir will lead her son astray. She's just afraid that her son will lead the Little Heir astray. "
"Princess Consort, you must be joking. It is Lie 'er's fortune to be favored by the Little Heir." Young Madam Mu still wanted to say something, but a stern female voice came from behind the crowd. Young Madam Mu's face paled. The crowd parted to let her through. It was Marquis Muyang's wife who walked forward with a stern expression.
"Mother …" Young Madam Mu said unwillingly.
"Shut up!" Marquis Muyang's wife glared at her fiercely. She turned to Ye Li and bowed slightly. "Daughter-in-law is not sensible. Princess Consort, please don't take offense." Ye Li smiled. "Marquis Muyang's wife is joking. It's all the children's mischief. Young Madam Mu, please change your clothes first."
"Princess Consort is right." Marquis Muyang's wife nodded. She said to Young Madam Mu, "Why aren't you going? What are you doing in such a disheveled state?" Young Madam Mu blushed. She glared at Mu Lie unwillingly and turned to leave. Yaoji glanced at Ye Li and also turned to follow.
The others saw that Princess Ding's expression was not good. They also knew that it was not the time to talk. They all took their leave and went to stroll around the imperial garden. Marquis Muyang's wife gave Mu Lie a few instructions and also took her leave.
"Greetings to Princess Consort, Little Shizi." Mu Lie cupped his hands and bowed respectfully to the two. Leng Junhan looked curiously at the new brother in front of her with wide eyes.
Mo Xiaobao said unhappily, "Shizi is Shizi. Why do you have to add the word 'little'?"
Ye Li pinched his little face in annoyance. "You're so nosy. How have you been recently? "The last sentence was naturally for Mu Lie. When she chose this child to follow Yaoji back to the capital, this child naturally went through strict training. Even Ye Li thought highly of this 11-year-old child who looked like he was only seven or eight years old. To be able to survive under Qin Feng's hands, he was definitely an expert. So Mu Lie's role was not as simple as pretending to be Yaoji and Muyang's son. When it came to important times, he was even more important than Yaoji herself.
"Thank you for Princess Consort's concern. Lie is very good." Mu Lie said seriously with a little adult face.
Ye Li smiled and rubbed his little head. "You're just a child. Why are you so serious? Aren't you afraid of scaring Muyang? " Mu Lie stiffened at the sudden intimacy. His originally serious little face was a little red, but he didn't realize it. He said seriously, "They will only think that I'm young and mature, a genius." Ye Li smiled, "I can see that the people of Marquis Muyang's Household quite like you."
"Hmph!" Mu Lie curled his lips. "As long as it's a son of Marquis Muyang's Household, they will like it. I heard that Marquis Muyang's wife has been going crazy for a grandson these past few years. She kept stuffing women into Muyang's room until we entered Marquis Muyang's Household. But she still wants a legitimate son, so she gives that woman medicine every day. Taking too much medicine really affects the brain. Hmph! "
Ye Li straightened his clothes and said softly, "In a few days, Prince and I will leave the capital. Leng Er is now at the border. Feng San will also go with us. At that time, only you and Yaoji will be left in the capital. You must be careful, okay? If you encounter any trouble, escape first. Keeping your life is more important than anything else. "
Mu Lie's eyes flickered. He said seriously, "Princess Consort, don't worry. Yaoji is not a fool and neither am I. The people of Marquis Muyang's Household will not doubt. We will take care of the matters in Chu Capital. We will not let Prince and Princess Consort worry. "Ye Li sighed apologetically." You are still a child … "
