He didn't want to pay attention to it, but then he thought of Su Chanyi and felt a little worried, wondering if this little girl would think too much.

"Prince." Mother Zhou squatted and saluted, a little surprised that he came back at this time.

"When was the person delivered?" He looked behind Mother Zhou hesitantly, but did not see the slender figure holding the baby as he expected.

"Young Master, you are talking about them. Madam sent them here yesterday. She said that it is not a good thing for your garden to be empty. It happens that these two girls are talented and can add charm to your garden." Mother Zhou replied softly according to what Madam said.

Pei Jin understood that his mother must have bought the skinny horse from somewhere. Nowadays, noble families like to buy skinny horses from Jiangnan to be concubines for their sons. Although those women are all prostitutes, they have been trained to serve men since childhood, and they are more popular with them than those girls who know nothing. Even Lin Yi's family has two such concubines.

"I don't need any red-sleeved girls. Mom, let them go back to their mother. They play the flute and the piano every day, so don't disturb the baby's sleep." Pei Jin said with a serious face.

Mother Zhou didn't dare to say anything and just followed him.

"Is the medicine still effective? Does the baby have enough milk?" he asked as he walked. He thought that he had already reached the door of the house, so why didn't the maid come out to greet him? It was really rude.

"Sir, this medicine is excellent. Chan Yi was cured after drinking two doses. It turns out that the imperial physician in the palace has a cure." Mother Zhou replied in a low voice, "And the ointment. It's only been applied for two or three days, and the red marks have disappeared."

"Yeah." Pei Jin nodded slightly.

When the two little girls saw them coming, they immediately bowed respectfully, lifted the curtain and welcomed Pei Jin into the house.

"Where are the people?" The room was quiet. Pei Jin became a little uneasy and turned to look at Mother Zhou.

"My Lord, during the days you were away, Madam took Miss Chan Yi and the young master to the main courtyard, saying that it would be more convenient for Madam to take care of the young master." Madam Zhou said in a low voice, and seeing Pei Jin's face was not looking good, she quickly said, "Madam also hired two women to help with lactation, fearing that Miss Chan Yi's milk would stop flowing again. My Lord, I heard that the wet nurse cannot be frightened, and must be in a good mood so that she can produce more milk. Don't you know that the young master has gained some weight in the past two days, and he is even more chubby and adorable."

Pei Jin's expression finally relaxed. He had been so busy these past two days that he rushed back home as soon as the refugees in the suburbs of Beijing were settled. It was because he was concerned about them, mother and son.

"How about this, I haven't eaten yet, Mother Zhou, you take these people with you, and we'll go to the mother in the main courtyard together." Pei Jin said while pointing to the corridor bridge. People went straight into the inner room to change clothes.

Mother Zhou hurriedly agreed and went. Pei Jin entered the inner room and saw that the room was tidy. On the silver hook of the curtain on the carved bed, there was a delicate dark blue sachet with bamboo leaves embroidered on it.

He raised his hand, took it off and smelled it, then he remembered that tomorrow was the Dragon Boat Festival and he was too busy.

This must have been carefully embroidered for him by his concubine. Look at the colors and patterns, they are all his favorites. It seems that she loves him so much that she remembers his preferences silently.

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to change his clothes, hung the sachet in a conspicuous place around his waist, opened the door, and was eager to go to his mother to take him and his son back.

"Jasmine greets the prince."

"Peony greets the prince."

Behind Mother Zhou were two women, one in bright red, the other in elegant green. They both bowed to him and spoke in sweet voices that were indescribably gentle and graceful. It was obvious that they had been professionally trained.

Pei Jin was in a good mood at the moment. He just nodded and walked out.

The two women were secretly delighted in their hearts. They had not expected that their master would have such a handsome face and graceful figure, like a banished immortal.

When they arrived at the main courtyard gate, the little girl saw the prince coming and was about to report it, but was stopped by Pei Jin.

He turned around and said to Mother Zhou, "Mom, please settle these two girls. I don't need anyone here. I'll go talk to mother right away."

Jasmine and Peony immediately looked sad when they heard this, and knelt down on the ground in panic: "Master, please take us in. If you send us sisters back, we will die without a burial place..."

"My Lord, we...we will be beaten to death by our mother..."

"Young Master..." Mother Zhou was a little embarrassed.

"Whether to return or not is another matter. Let's settle these two first." Pei Jin glanced at the two of them. He saw that they were both slender and plump with outstanding looks. It seemed that his mother had carefully selected them for her. But no matter what, he just felt that they were pretentious and extremely tacky.

He brushed his sleeves and walked quickly towards the main house. Before he reached the door, he heard laughter coming from inside.

"An'er, be good, come and find grandma."

"Err, eh, eh, eh..."

"Oh, our An'er has caught grandma..."

"Good boy, give grandma a hug..."

He is playing with the baby. Pei Jin's lips curled slightly. He nodded to Mother Zhang at the door, lifted the curtain and entered the house.

"Oh, Shenzhi is back, why didn't you tell me? You are all so rude." Mrs. Wang, who was out of breath from running, stood still awkwardly, smoothed her hair, and sat back in the armchair pretending to be calm.

When An'er saw that his grandmother sat down and stopped playing hide-and-seek with him, he hummed in unhappiness.

Chan Yi quickly patted his back and coaxed him softly, "Good boy, be obedient. Grandma is tired. Let's go back to the inner room."

"Master, please talk to the Madam. I will carry the young master to the inner room." Su Chanyi did not expect him to return home suddenly. She squatted down and saluted while holding the baby in her arms, feeling a little embarrassed.

An'er in her arms was suddenly attracted by the sachet on Pei Jin's waist. He screamed and wanted to push towards Pei Jin. Su Chanyi almost couldn't hold him for a moment.

"Let me do it." Pei Jin reached out and hugged An'er, feeling happy. This child was quite sensible and knew how to recognize people.

An'er nestled in Pei Jin's arms and giggled.

Madam Wang cleared her throat, leaned back on the chair, and said with a serious look, "Shenzhi, sit down quickly. You just came back? You've been working hard for several days, and you haven't eaten yet, right? Chanyi, take the child down quickly. The prince is of noble status, how can he hold a child? Madam Zhang, bring up the dinner quickly."

She felt very complicated. Her son must like this doll, but it was a pity... She must not let her son like this child too much.

Su Chanyi hurried over to pick up the child, but unexpectedly An'er slid down Pei Jin's body, grabbed the sachet with her little hands, and smiled with success.

"Hey, this is my sachet, don't bite it." Pei Jin grabbed the silk thread that An'er stuffed into his mouth, looked at the wet tassel that he had bitten, and said, "This is the sachet that your mother embroidered for me."

What's going on? Mrs. Wang was a little surprised.

"My Lord, you misunderstood. This is not the sachet I embroidered." Su Chanyi's jade-white face turned red.

"Shenzhi, this was sent by your uncle's cousin Yan yesterday. She said it uses the most expensive medicinal materials and can repel mosquitoes and refresh the mind. I think it's good, so I asked Mother Zhang to hang it on the curtain for you." Mrs. Wang picked up a sachet of the same style with a red peony embroidered on Xiangfei-colored brocade on the table and said slowly.

In an instant, Pei Jin's eyes darkened. He took the sachet that An'er was still holding tightly and coaxed her gently, "Be good, An'er, let go. We don't want this sachet of unknown origin."

As he spoke, he snatched it away and threw it on the ground.

"Hmmmm!" An'er twisted in Pei Jin's arms somewhat unhappily.

"An'er, be good, daddy is tired." Chan Yi moved over and raised her hands to hug the baby.

"Mother, we won't have dinner here. Thank you for taking care of Chanyi and her son for the past two days. We'll go back to Zhuxiang Garden now." Pei Jin said as he held An'er high.

An'er was held high by him and he kept giggling at his mother.

"Shenzhi, Chanyi and An'er should stay here. If they go there, you won't be able to rest well." Mrs. Wang looked at Su Chanyi, who was standing aside at a loss, with an ambiguous look in her eyes.
