The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

In the early morning of May, the cool breeze of early summer blew up the green leaves of the sycamore trees in the corner of the courtyard. The morning sun cast its brilliant rays on the earth. The places where the sun could not reach became even quieter and darker.

Yan Nanbai did not return home all night, and Qi Leyang waited until the second half of the night before falling asleep. The birds outside the window chirped crisply, and as she listened to the chirping, a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart.

She and the child are still alive, and that's the best situation at the moment.

"Mom, why hasn't Dad come back?" Yan Shaorun sat up from the bed, his messy hair hanging loosely on his head. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked Qi Leyang.

Qi Leyang touched his little head and said gently, "Your father has gone out to do something and may not be back for a long time. Run'er is the eldest son, so you must bring your brother and accompany your mother obediently, okay?"

"Okay," Yan Shaorun said in a childish voice with determination, and there were a few sleep marks on his rosy little face.

Although he didn't know what was going on, he knew that the people around him treated them differently.

Those who used to be respectful and kowtow to their mother now dare to glare at her and yell at her.

His cousins, who used to play well with him, and other good friends, no longer play with him.

Even grandparents don't like them anymore.

Qi Leyang smiled lovingly and said, "Run'er, it's still early. You should sleep a little longer. Only children who sleep well can grow taller. Mother will go to help Aunt Chujiu make breakfast."

Now there was only one servant, Chujiu, in this corner courtyard. Qi Leyang felt that there was no need for her to act like a princess anymore, so she began to learn how to cook, wash clothes, and clean.

Chujiu refused to let her do it no matter what, but in the end he couldn't persuade her.

Watching her pick up the broom to sweep the floor for the first time, Chujiu burst into tears out of sadness.

Yan Shaorun lay down obediently and said, "Okay, mother. I will sleep more so that I can grow taller and protect mother, father, brother, and Aunt Chujiu."

Qi Leyang's nose felt sore, and he smiled with tears in his eyes, "My Run'er is so good."

After settling Shaorun down, Qi Leyang got dressed and got out of bed. As soon as he opened the door, he heard someone knocking on the courtyard door.

The knock on the door was very strong. The person who came was either angry or had the confidence to look down on the people in the courtyard.

Chujiu, who was busy in the kitchen, ran out with a spatula in his hand. He looked at the gate and then at Qi Leyang with a look of panic.

Qi Leyang pointed to the dormitory and mouthed the two names "Run'er and Ze'er".

Chujiu understood immediately, put down the spatula, ran to the dormitory, holding a wooden stick in his hand, and stayed next to the two young masters.

"Open the door! Open the door quickly! If you don't open the door, we will break it down!" The rude shout of Butler Di was heard outside the courtyard gate.

Qi Leyang was trembling all over. He tried his best to calm himself down and went forward to open the door.

Steward Di, along with several servants and a sturdy old woman, stood outside the door in a menacing manner. When the door opened, they barged in without waiting for Qi Leyang to speak. "Steward Di! How dare you barge into my house?!" Qi Leyang straightened her back and acted like a princess.

Butler Di was stunned for a moment when he saw Qi Leyang's fierce momentum, but when he thought of the eldest princess' current situation and the attitude of the master, the mistress, the eldest master, and the second master towards her, the fear disappeared instantly.

He put his hands behind his back, a sarcastic smile on his face, "Oh my, Princess, are you still showing off? But your power is too weak, it can't blow, I'm not afraid."

"What exactly do you want to do?" Qi Leyang asked coldly, gritting his teeth.

Steward Di sneered: "The master and the mistress miss their grandchildren, so they specially asked me to take the two young masters to live with them for a few days!"

Qi Leyang's heart tightened.

They had just sent Nan Bai away, and they came to snatch Run'er and Ze'er. I'm afraid they didn't just want to stay with them for a few days, but to take them away from me!

At this time, Yan Shaorun rushed out and said to Steward Di and others, "I won't go to my grandparents! You are lying! My grandparents don't like us at all! They don't even think about us! Yan Zijiao and Yan Chengfeng bullied me and my brother, and my grandmother saw it but didn't care. She even said it was my and my brother's fault!"

Qi Leyang felt as if her heart was stabbed by a knife when she heard this. She said coldly, "Don't worry, father-in-law and mother-in-law. Run'er and Ze'er are with me and they are not going anywhere!"

Butler Di chuckled and said with disdain, "This is not up to the 'eldest princess'. Come! Go and carry the two young masters out!"

"Wait!" Qi Leyang stretched out her arm to stop the servants and maids who were rushing to the bedroom. She stared at Butler Di with a sharp gaze and said, "Butler Di, things change over time. Although I am now in decline, who can guarantee that I won't rise again one day? I advise you not to be too ruthless. Leave some room for others so that we can meet again in the future!"

“Hahahaha…” Butler Di laughed wildly, laughing so hard that he fell back and forth, with tears squeezing out of the corners of his eyes.

The servants and maids also laughed.

There was endless contempt and ridicule in the laughter.

After laughing, Steward Di wiped his eyes and said, "Oh my, Princess, you are really a young lady who grew up in the deep palace, so naive. Look at yourself, you can't even protect yourself, and you still want to rise? May I ask, what do you have to rise? Besides that servant and two children, what else do you have? Considering that you are still the wife of the Third Young Master, I advise you to put away your naivety as soon as possible, shrink your neck, and behave yourself. Maybe you can live a few more years."

Qi Leyang's body couldn't help but tremble slightly. She held back the tears in her eyes and said in a loud voice: "If Nan Bai knew about what you did to me and my child, he would never let you go!"

Steward Di sneered, "The Third Young Master is probably on his way to Southern Xinjiang now. Even if the Third Young Master knew, there are still the Master and the Madam above him. We servants are just acting according to the Master's mood! Princess, you should be sensible and get out of the way. After all, the two young masters are the Master and the Madam's grandsons. The Master and the Madam will not do anything to them."

Qi Leyang knew that there was no way to stop them from taking Run'er and Ze'er away today.

In desperation, she rushed into the kitchen, holding a kitchen knife, and shouted: "I'll see who dares to take my child away! If I die in this yard, do you really think no one will care? The emperor and my uncle will never let you go! No matter what, I am the emperor's biological daughter after all! The eldest princess!"

Butler Di's eyes flashed with guilt, but he quickly calmed down: "If they care about you, they won't let you fend for yourself here! Okay, I still have to report to the mistress and the master, so I won't argue with the princess anymore. You guys, go and carry the two young masters out!"
