After the concubine ran away with the baby, the abstinent prince went crazy

The child was obviously much more lively now that he was not with Princess He'an. Yan Qingning followed the child into the courtyard.

At a glance, I saw Nanny Zuo talking to a scarred maid standing at the door.

As soon as the two saw the mother and her two daughters coming in one after another, the scarred maid hurriedly limped to open the curtain.

There was a dark purple twisted scar on each of her cheeks, and because it was so recent, the scar was particularly eye-catching.

"Aunt Jiang." Yan Qingning called out, then took Yan Qingyi into the house.

Aunt Jiang used to be Yan Feng's personal maid.

After Princess He'an entered the room, she somehow made a mistake and fell into Princess He'an's hands.

Although his life was not in danger, his legs were lame.

Princess He'an originally planned to send her to the farm, but Aunt Du pleaded with her to keep her by her side.

From being a young girl, after many years, she became an aunt.

However, when the incident happened half a year ago, the original owner and the people around Aunt Du were dealt with cleanly by Princess He'an to vent her anger.

However, Aunt Jiang was implicated and her face was disfigured, but fortunately she survived.

Fortunately, Aunt Du still has such an acquaintance by her side.

Yan Qingning called her Aunt Jiang and went into the house.

Aunt Du started to get busy, making tea for her, pouring water, and then went to look in the cupboard.

She took out a large bag from inside and placed it beside her, saying flatteringly, "Auntie made some shoes, socks and small clothes for you. Take them with you when you go back..."

"Sister, here you go. This is the snack I left for you. Come and try it..."

At this time, Yan Qingyi held the oil paper bag and placed it in front of her.

Yan Qingning's heart was touched by something, and she couldn't tell what the feeling was.

She touched the child's face with tears in her eyes.

Aunt Du said softly, "Ning'er, I'm sorry..."

"There's no need to apologize. Has Princess He'an made things difficult for you during this period of time?" Yan Qingning asked calmly.

Aunt Du was slightly stunned when she heard this. Seeing that she looked calm, she didn't know whether she was happy or angry. She said nervously, "No, no, Ning'er, are you doing well? Did Wei'er bully you?"

Yan Qingning knew at a glance that Aunt Du was lying.

In fact, it is conceivable that her question was really unnecessary.

Feeling that the answer was unnecessary, Yan Qingning couldn't help but shook his head.

No one spoke for a while and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

After a moment, a child's swearing voice was heard.

"Sister, aunt, Yi'er will definitely grow up quickly to protect you and never let anyone bully you again."

Yan Qingning was slightly surprised, and then she saw Yan Qingyi's delicate little face was puffed up, with dark eyes full of seriousness.

Seeing her clenched fists, Yan Qingning knew that the child was serious.

However, this was the first time Aunt Du heard her child speak such sensible words. A myriad of thoughts flooded into her mind, shocking her heart.

Aunt Du burst into tears instantly, beating herself with guilt and self-blame, "It's me, it's me, it's all my fault, I harmed you two, I deserve to die, I regret it..."

Aunt Du sat on the ground and cried...

Seeing this, Yan Qingyi rushed forward and held Aunt Du's hand, crying, "Mother, mother, please don't hit yourself, Yi'er will protect you..."

The room was filled with sadness for a moment. Yan Qingning still sat by the kang, watching the mother and daughter crying in each other's arms.

He didn't even move his elbows that were resting on the table.

Sometimes, the string is too tight and needs an opportunity to relax.

It is no exaggeration to say that the past six months have been a difficult time.

Yan Qingning's gaze couldn't help but stay on Yan Qingyi.

For some reason, this child made her feel indescribable.

Something flashed through her mind, but it was too fast for her to catch it.

Yan Qingning seemed to be thinking about something for a moment, and thought that maybe the sudden change made the child precocious and sensible.

After a while, Aunt Du's crying became quieter. Yan Qingning felt that it was almost time, so she got up from the ground and helped her up.

Let her sit on the other side of the table, then said: "Since you have cried, then cheer up, after all, life must go on, and Yi'er is still young and needs your protection.

But as for how to proceed, we can discuss it.”

Aunt Du's eyes and nose were red from crying, and she sobbed and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Thinking that since the incident, all the confidants she had cultivated with great difficulty were purged by Princess He'an, she was worried every day, fearing that Princess He'an would really take action against them.

It doesn't matter whether she lives or dies, and Aunt Du is most worried about this little one.

I'm afraid that Princess He'an will take action against her...

But she also knew how difficult it was for her daughter, so how could she bear to let her worry about herself?

She said with an unnatural look on her face: "Auntie was just frightened and lost her composure for a moment, don't mind it."

Yan Qingning: “…”

Aunt Du looked at her daughter and saw that she looked better and more beautiful. She felt relieved and asked, "Is the prince treating you well?"

"It's OK, Aunt, don't worry about me. I want to ask what your plans are for the future?"

Yan Qingning said this, and seeing Yan Qingyi looking at her eagerly, she took her hand and asked, "Did you go to school?"

Generally, people of some status had to learn to read and write, and the Yan family also hired a female teacher.

Ironically, girls go to school to learn the rules for women, so that when they are punished to copy in the future, they can't even write a single word, which may make them a laughing stock when they go to their husband's house.

She asked this only because she saw that Yan Qingyi was still so young and should be able to read and write.

In modern times, she is just an elementary school student, but she is trapped in this small world, which makes anyone sigh.

Yan Qingyi's eyes dimmed and she lowered her head.

Aunt Du's eyes also flashed with a trace of guilt, and she hurriedly said, "She was sick a few days ago, so I didn't let her go."

Yan Qingning understood and said frankly: "I know the current situation very well, so my aunt and I should stop whitewashing it..."

Aunt Du hurriedly said, "Don't worry about me, just take care of yourself, your father will protect us.

If you have any difficulties in the future, please send a letter back and Auntie will help you..."

Yan Qingning was about to speak, but when she saw Yan Qingyi was still there, she thought for a moment and asked, "Madam Zuo?"

Nanny Zuo was standing outside the window. She had just heard Aunt Du break down and cry. When she heard the young lady calling her, she hurried in.

Yan Qingning said, "Madam has been in the palace for many years. When it comes to rules and etiquette, I think she has the most experience. I'd like to trouble you to teach Qingyi a few words."

"My lady, you are too kind. I cannot bear the responsibility of teaching you." Nanny Zuo knew that it was just an excuse. "But I can be so bold as to say a few words to Miss Fifth."

Yan Qingyi was somewhat reluctant to leave. Her sister had finally come back and she wanted to be with her.

My aunt once said that in this world, she and my sister were the closest people to her.

But when she saw her sister's gentle look, she didn't want to make her sister angry, so she obediently followed Nanny Zuo out.

When only Aunt Du was left in the room, Yan Qingning looked more serious, "Aunt, I just want to ask you, does father still enter your yard now?"

Aunt Du's face turned pale, and she lowered her head in embarrassment. "You are a junior, this is not something you can control."

Ever since the fight started, Yan Feng has hardly ever come to her yard.

Firstly, she was in the wrong. Secondly, the Lord was afraid that Princess He'an would be angry, so he didn't come to her, which was at least out of consideration for her.

Yan Qingning said coldly: "If you can protect yourself, I won't meddle in other people's business. Today, Princess He'an is so confident and fearless, can't you see it?"
