"Chen Xiang!" Seventh Madame panicked and pulled her to sit down. "Chen Xiang, you don't understand. It's better to avoid trouble. Yi 'er is still young. I don't want anything, I just want him to grow up safely. "
"If it wasn't for my master stopping him that day, would the young master still have a way out? How many times could his little body take a beating? "Chen Xiang was furious.
At this time, little Yi 'er was lying on the windowsill, secretly watching his mother.
His clothes were very old, washed white, and his trousers and sleeves were short. Although it wasn't as bright and well-fitting as other children's, it was especially clean and tidy, with an indescribable temperament.
Hearing his mother's words, little Yi 'er's tender little face gradually revealed a disappointed expression. He gritted his teeth and wanted to speak several times, but unfortunately, every time the words reached his mouth, he swallowed them back down.
His mother's forbearance made him able to endure. He was the most sensible child, but ever since he became sensible, he had always been sullen.
The more little Chen Xiang spoke, the angrier she became. Seventh Madame could only keep persuading her, and finally changed the topic. Little Chen Xiang didn't notice, and continued to talk about other things.
Little Yi 'er lowered his eyes in disappointment, pouted his little mouth, and slowly slid down from the windowsill. However, at this time, a familiar voice sounded.
"Little Chen Xiang, see what delicious food I brought for you!"
This voice …
Little Yi 'er's little head suddenly popped out from the windowsill, only to see that it was his big sister, Han Yunxi, who had saved him that day. She walked in with two big bags.
It was her!
Little Yi 'er would never forget that bright and beautiful face, that pair of resolute eyes, and even more so that voice that he had only heard once.
That day, he was so cold that he almost lost consciousness. With his back to everyone, he didn't know what happened behind him. He only heard her lecturing Han Yuqi. It wasn't loud at all, but it was domineering and powerful.
When he was about to faint, she said, "Yi 'er, don't be afraid. Big sister will definitely protect you."
Even his father, whom he respected the most, and his mother, whom he loved the most, had never said such words to him.
"Sis …"
Seeing Han Yunxi walk in, little Yi 'er called out in a low voice. He was a little timid and cautious. He had many older sisters, but this was the first time he had called out this word.
Han Yunxi was in a bad mood, so shopping was her first priority. She brought in two big bags of things. One was warm snacks, and the other was medicinal herbs for Seventh Concubine and Yi 'er to nourish their bodies.
"Master, you've finally come!" Little Chen Xiang was very excited and immediately rushed over. If her master did not come, she would think that she had been abandoned.
Seventh Concubine hurriedly stood up and bowed. "Greetings to esteemed wangfei, esteemed wangfei …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Han Yunxi waved her hand. "Forget it, forget it. Where's Yi 'er? Hurry up and call him out. I've brought you delicious food!"
Little Yi 'er was so excited when he heard this and was about to rush out, but he stopped before his mother said anything.
"Esteemed wangfei, you've taken such good care of Yi 'er and even let you spend money. I …" Seventh Concubine felt very guilty.
Han Yunxi was already in a bad mood and came out to get some fresh air. When she heard Seventh Concubine's polite words, she immediately became impatient. "Seventh Concubine, if you're going to be so polite, you can wait outside. We'll eat with Yi 'er first."
When she said this, Seventh Concubine was stunned. Little Yi 'er, who was hiding at the side, couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Who's laughing?"
Han Yunxi looked in the direction of the sound. Little Yi 'er immediately hid. Unfortunately, Han Yunxi's sharp eyes still saw his little head that he didn't remember to hide.
This boy was so brave that day. Was he shy today? And he was even playing hide-and-seek with her?
Han Yunxi narrowed her eyes and warned little Chen Xiang and Seventh Concubine not to make a sound. She quietly walked to the windowsill and stuck her head out to take a look. Unexpectedly, she didn't see anyone.
Han Yunxi was delighted. She looked inside the room and saw little Yi 'er hiding behind the screen. He stuck his little head out to look at her from afar. His expression was adorably silly and timid, as if he wanted to come closer but didn't dare.
Han Yunxi grinned and walked around the front door, pretending to run over. Little Yi 'er was shocked and turned to run to the back door. This time, Han Yunxi was overjoyed.
"Little fool!" She laughed and ran to the back to block him. Who knew that little Yi 'er would be so fast? Just as Han Yunxi was about to reach the back door, he rushed out.
Seventh Concubine was about to call out to stop when little Chen Xiang immediately covered her mouth. It was rare for esteemed wangfei to be so playful, so how could she stop her?
Han Yunxi grabbed nothing but air. She narrowed her eyes and laughed mischievously. "Yi 'er, let's see who runs faster!"
Seeing her laugh, little Yi 'er pursed his lips. His eyes were adorable, and he ran further away, increasing the distance between them.
Han Yunxi immediately chased after him. This time, she was even faster. Little Yi 'er was frightened and turned to rush out of the courtyard. Who knew that he would bump into Madam Xu, who was just about to enter!
"Ah …"
Madam Xu screamed and stumbled back two steps, almost falling. Fortunately, the maidservant beside her caught her in time.
Little Yi 'er stopped abruptly. When he looked up and saw Madam Xu's pale face, he immediately retreated.
Before Madam Xu could recover from her shock, the maidservant beside her started scolding.
"You little bastard, what did your mother teach you? Don't you have eyes?!"
"If you hurt Madam Xu, can you afford to pay for it? Stop right there! "
There was a stone screen at the entrance of the courtyard, so Madam Xu couldn't see the people inside. However, the people inside could clearly hear the maidservant's scolding.
Seventh Concubine hurried out, but little Chen Xiang stopped her and whispered, "Esteemed Wangfei is here. What are you afraid of?"
Little Chen Xiang had been here for so long, waiting for Madam Xu to come and settle the score. She didn't expect that Madam Xu would choose to come when Esteemed Wangfei was here.
At this moment, Han Yunxi was standing behind the screen, not far from little Yi 'er.
Little Yi 'er didn't refute. He glared angrily at the maidservant and retreated step by step.
Madam Xu composed herself. When she saw little Yi 'er's angry eyes, she immediately became angry. "Han Yunyi, don't you understand that I told you to stop? What's with that look? Do you think you're in the right after bumping into me? Is this how your mother taught you to treat your elders? You uncultured thing! "
Madam Xu had been with her son these days. Han Yuqi's butt was bleeding, so he could only lie down and not lie down. His temper was very irritable. Madam Xu accompanied him for a long time before he was willing to apply medicine and his mood stabilized.
Once she was free, the first thing Madam Xu did was to visit Seventh Concubine!
She knew that Han Yunxi had left her personal maidservant here, but so what if she was a personal maidservant? Not to mention a personal maidservant, even Han Yunxi couldn't meddle in the Han family's affairs.
Last time, because of her son's rebuttal and offense, Han Yunxi had something on her, so Madam Xu had no choice but to restrain her arrogance and give in.
But now, Han Yunxi didn't have anything on them. She wanted to see what right Han Yunxi, a married daughter, had to meddle in her mother's affairs.
Today, she specially came to find trouble with Seventh Concubine. She was worried that she wouldn't be able to find any flaws in the seventh branch, but Han Yunyi came knocking on her door.
As Madam Xu spoke, she gave the maidservant a look, and the maidservant went forward to grab him.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Han Yunxi pulled Han Yunyi aside and popped out from behind the screen. At this moment, it wasn't clear whether it was Han Yunxi who bumped into the maidservant or the maidservant who bumped into Han Yunxi. In any case, Han Yunxi retreated a few steps and accidentally lost her balance, falling down!
"Aiya …" She shouted, "Which uncultured thing dares to bump into this princess consort!"
Madam Xu didn't expect Han Yunxi to be here as well. For a moment, she couldn't recover her senses and was dumbstruck. The maidservant's movements were still stiff. She also didn't know what had just happened. When she saw Han Yunxi sitting on the ground, her face turned pale and she was so frightened that she almost collapsed. "This servant … this servant … this servant didn't do it on purpose!"
"Whose maidservant is this? So rude and impetuous. I think you did it on purpose!" Han Yunxi angrily rebuked and deliberately ignored Madam Xu's existence.
Hearing her shout, the maidservant's legs gave way and she fell to her knees. She was so frightened that she couldn't even speak clearly. "This servant … this servant didn't …"
Madam Xu watched from the side. Han Yunxi didn't look at her, but she didn't want to see Han Yunxi even more!
What was this little slut doing here again? A married daughter only ran back to her maternal home after being divorced. She really was shameless!
Of course, all of this anger was hidden in Madam Xu's heart. After all, she was the daughter of a respectable family and had been in charge of the household for so many years. She still understood how things were done on the surface.
"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I really didn't do it on purpose. Yunxi, when did you come? How come I didn't know?" Madam Xu said kindly as she hurried forward to help her up.
But Han Yunxi suddenly stood up, her expression changing to a smile. "Then I think Yi 'er didn't bump into you on purpose, did he, Second Madame?"
Madam Xu gave a start before realizing Han Yunxi's intentions. Hearing the words' Second Madame 'made her eyes turn cold, her delicate features turning malevolent.
"That's right, how could it be on purpose? Servants don't know any better, so us masters naturally won't fuss over it, "Madam Xu forced a smile.
It had to be said that Madam Xu's words were quite formidable. If Han Yunxi continued to fuss over the matter, she'd become the 'servant' she spoke of.
Han Yunxi wasn't looking for trouble after eating her fill, but to save little Yi 'er. Hearing Madam Xu's words, she dropped the matter.
She glanced at Han Yunyi out of the corner of her eye and smiled. "Second Madame, you're here to find Seventh Madame, aren't you?"
"I made a special trip to check on Seventh Young Master's injuries. Seeing that he's alive and kicking, he should be fine, right? Then I don't have to worry, "Madam Xu said lazily, a trace of ridicule on her lips.
"Fortunately, he was treated in time. Otherwise, who knows how badly he'd be injured? He might be bedridden for ten days to half a month," Han Yunxi wasn't polite at all.
It was Han Yuqi who'd be bedridden for ten days to half a month, alright? Madam Xu suffered another setback. In a fit of anger, she couldn't help but remind her coldly, "Yunxi, ah, ever since I married into the Han Family, even your father has called me Madam. The Han Family doesn't have a Second Madame, only Madam Xu."
"Is that so? Why didn't I know about this? Esteemed empress dowager doesn't seem to know either … "
Before Han Yunxi could finish, Madam Xu heard the threat in her words and immediately defended herself. "Yunxi, I think you've misunderstood. I don't even have enough time to respect big sister, so why would I covet the position of official wife? What virtue or ability do I have? I don't dare compare myself to big sister. It's just a form of address. Your father doted on me back then, so he called me Madam. This' Madam 'isn't the same' Madam. 'After all, it's your father's idea. It's not good for us to change it, is it? "
Han Yunxi smiled and thought to herself, Madam Xu, ah, Madam Xu. So you still know how to be afraid.
"Aiya, it's just a form of address. This wangfei's used to calling you Second Madame, it's very intimate."
"Yunxi, actually this …"
Before Madam Xu could finish, Han Yunxi cut her off, imitating Madam Xu's Cold tone. "Second Madame, ah, ever since I married into the Duke of Qin's estate, even my father calls me Qin Wangfei. There's no Yunxi here, only esteemed wangfei."
