If she really offended Eunuch He who served His Majesty because of what happened today, her life would never be easy.

Eunuch He is in the palace, but who knows how long his hands are and whether he can reach outside the palace?

She didn't believe that Wen Zehai didn't consider this. He had such sinister intentions.

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Qu's eyes.

Wen Zehai, old lady, you are the ones who are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.

Qu was not in a hurry to hug Wen Qianqian, but bowed to Wen Zehai.

"My husband misunderstood. I wanted to bring Qianqian here, but something went wrong just now. The old lady was a little unhappy with Qianqian. I wanted to bring Qianqian here with me, but she stopped me."

Wen Zehai's expression froze and he felt annoyed.

Even if things are as Qu said, what is there to explain about such trivial matters?

Can't you just bring the child here?

What a brainless gossip, all she can do is talk but not do anything!

Just when Wen Zehai wanted to change the subject and urge Qu to hold the child, He Si spoke again.

"Madam Wen, what do you mean by not wanting to bring Miss Wen Si out? Do you think that I, He Si, am of low status and unworthy of an imperial decree?"

Old Madam Wen's face turned pale.

"No, no... I just can't imagine that this imperial decree is for Qianqian."

How could she have imagined!

If she could have thought of it, would she still stop Qu from bringing Wen Qianqian along?

"I'm sorry, Eunuch He, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have listened to my mother-in-law. I should have just forced Qianqian to come over." Qu looked innocent.

But her words were like adding fuel to the fire, and Eunuch He became even angrier.

Even he could see that His Majesty liked Fourth Miss Wen. What's wrong with this old woman in this family? It seemed that she didn't like Fourth Miss Wen?

He Si suddenly didn't want to give Madam Wen any good face.

"Well! Since your old lady looks down on me, I will go back and ask His Majesty to send someone else to announce the decree!"

He wanted to go back and tell His Majesty that Old Madam Wen treated Fourth Miss Wen very badly and refused to let anyone come even when receiving an imperial decree.

Wen Zehai and Old Mrs. Wen were both shocked when they heard this.

Why does this need to alarm His Majesty?

It’s just that I didn’t bring the child over, why make such a fuss!

Wen Zehai hurriedly stepped forward and humbly grabbed He Si's long sleeves.

"Father-in-law, please don't be angry. My mother is old and has started to get confused recently. Please don't take it personally!"

Madam Wen no longer cared about her dignity and immediately said, "Yes, yes, I was confused. I am old and my brain is foggy. Don't be angry, I will go and bring Qianqian here myself!"

He Siyi swung his sleeves, shook off Wen Zehai's hand that was pulling his sleeves and said, "Why don't you go quickly?"

Old Madam Wen didn't dare to be angry or say anything, nor could she show any displeasure to Qu in front of so many people, so she could only run to Shoukangyuan in shame.

However, when she arrived at Shoukangyuan, she couldn't find Wen Qianqian anywhere.

"Where is Qianqian? Who took her away?!"

Madam Xie suppressed the pain in her eyes and said, "It was the servant in the yard. Miss Wen has been crying since she came over. I couldn't open my eyes, so I asked the servant to carry her around to stop her crying."

Old Madam Wen slapped her thigh.

"Walking? What are you wandering for? It's already this late and you're still wandering! Don't you have any brains?! You're a useless old fool. I just spit on you and you can't even open your eyes!"

After Madam Wen cursed, she didn't care about the innocent and painful look on Madam Xie's face, and turned around and took the other people from Shoukangyuan to look for someone in a hurry.

If we receive the order too late, it might really alarm His Majesty.

She can't bear it!

At the same time, Wen Qianqian guided the servant all the way to the place where he first held the chick.

As the servant entered the courtyard, he smelled a foul odor. When he was about to leave, he saw Wen Qianqian twisting her body and insisting on going in.

Helplessly, he could only carry Wen Qianqian into the house.

When the steward saw the servant coming with Wen Qianqian in his arms, he immediately stood up to greet him.

"Fourth Miss... Why did you bring Fourth Miss here again? It's dirty here, take Fourth Miss away quickly."

The servant said helplessly, "It was the fourth young lady who insisted on coming in."

He was about to leave, but as soon as he left, the fourth young lady started crying. What could he do?

"Then what does this Fourth Young Lady want to do? Didn't she just take the chick away?" the steward asked doubtfully.

But Wen Qianqian stretched out her lower body and reached out her two small hands towards the old spotted dog on the ground.

The manager immediately understood what Wen Qianqian meant.

"Could it be that Miss Four wants to play with Xiaohua?"

Xiaohua is the old man that Qu brought from the Qu Mansion to raise.

Wen Qianqian stretched out her hand even further.

The servant was afraid that Wen Qianqian would fall, so he hurried to straighten her up.

"Don't worry, Fourth Miss. I'll carry you over and let you touch it right away."

Wen Qianqian stopped moving after hearing this.

The servant and the housekeeper were surprised.

"Young Miss Four can understand what we say at such a young age? She is really precocious!"

"Then why are you still standing there? Let Miss Four go play with Xiaohua. I just gave Xiaohua a bath the day before yesterday, so she's not too dirty today."

"Okay." The servant nodded and carried Wen Qianqian over.

Normally, the little flower ignored everyone except Qu, but today, for some unknown reason, it lowered its head and let Wen Qianqian touch it.

"Hey! This little flower is quite recognizable to its master."

While the two were surprised, Wen Qianqian communicated with Xiaohua in her heart.

【Why are you unhappy? 】

Xiaohua raised her head and looked in the direction of Qu's courtyard.

Wen Qianqian understood instantly.

[Oh, you are missing your mother, aren't you? ]

Xiaohua nodded slightly.

[Don't worry! When Wo comes back from the palace in the evening, I'll let mother take you to the courtyard, okay? ]

Xiaohua was originally listless, but after hearing these words, she suddenly perked up, straightened her back and started breathing happily.

The steward and the servant looked at each other.

"Why do I feel like they can communicate with each other?"

"Indeed... But we must be overthinking it. How can a human communicate with a dog? Besides, the fourth young lady can't even speak."

On the other side, Old Madam Wen was almost going crazy looking for Wen Qianqian.

It took a full stick of incense time before I finally found Wen Qianqian who was playing with Xiaohua.

The moment she saw Wen Qianqian, Madam Wen was so angry that she picked up the cane in her hand and hit the servant.

"You damn slave! Why did you take her to this filthy place when you could take her anywhere else?"

"No, I didn't mean it. I just..."

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you! Let's go! The eunuchs in the palace are waiting to see Qianqian!"

The old lady didn't even have time to catch her breath. She asked someone to carry Wen Qianqian and rushed to the front hall.

At this time, He Si's patience had reached its critical point.

He was very sure that Old Madam Wen disliked Fourth Miss Wen and looked down on him as a eunuch.

Well, he must go before the emperor and file a complaint against this old lady!
