Poisonous Pet World: The War King's Heart-stealing Medical Concubine

Jun Bai raised his head and first looked at the old lady with a kind face, then turned his gaze to Chu Zixi, who was sitting opposite him and looked a little embarrassed.

After a little hesitation, he finally nodded obediently, then stepped out of the room with his chubby little legs, jumping and skipping, following Aunt Qi.

After Jun Bai left, the old lady slowly cast her majestic and caring eyes on Chu Zixi again. Her expression instantly became solemn, her brows slightly furrowed, and a trace of worry and reproach appeared in her eyes.

The old lady opened her lips and said earnestly, "Xi'er, the prince is a great war king, and his status is extremely noble. And you, now you have married into the palace and become a royal daughter-in-law, how can you go to a place like a brothel at will? If this gets out, not only will your own reputation be damaged, but it will also bring shame to the entire royal family!"

Chu Zixi's pretty face blushed slightly when she heard this. She quickly lowered her head and whispered like a child who had made a mistake, "Grandma, don't be angry. I was just curious for a moment and wanted to go in and see what it was like. I really didn't do anything."

Seeing this, the old lady couldn't help but sighed, and her tense face relaxed a little, but she still continued to advise: "Well...Okay, grandma naturally trusts your character. But Xier, you must understand the truth that 'people's words are scary'. You are now the daughter-in-law of the royal family, and your words, deeds, and actions represent the dignity and respect of the royal family. In the future, you must never act so willfully like you did today."

Chu Zixi nodded obediently and responded, "Don't worry, grandma. Xier has remembered that this will never happen again."

At this moment, Qin asked softly, "Xi'er, I heard that the Queen Mother summoned you to the Cining Palace today. I wonder if the Queen Mother intended to make things difficult for you?"

Hearing Qin's question, Chu Zixi slowly raised her head, met Qin's worried eyes, pursed her lips and smiled slightly, and responded in a soft and gentle voice: "Aunt, the Queen Mother did not deliberately embarrass me. She was just asking questions."

However, the old lady sitting in the main seat did not seem to be completely convinced by Chu Zixi's words.

She frowned slightly, and her originally kind face now had a bit more solemnity and doubt. She stared at Chu Zixi closely and asked, "Xi'er, please don't hide it from me, your grandmother. Did the Queen Mother really not embarrass you?"

At this moment, Yun Yubing also hurriedly spoke up and said, "That's right, sister Xier. The Queen Mother has always been a little dissatisfied with you. This time she suddenly summoned you to the palace for an audience. In my opinion, it is most likely related to your visit to the brothel a few days ago. But you don't have to be afraid. You should know that our Huguogong Mansion is your most solid and reliable backing! No matter what situation you encounter, we will definitely support you with all our strength and do our best to protect you!"

After hearing this, the old lady agreed and said, "Bing'er is right. If the Queen Mother really dares to deliberately make things difficult for you, don't forget that your grandfather, who is an important official of the court, is here. In addition, we are all united in the Duke of the Guardian Mansion and will definitely not sit idly by and watch. Even if the Queen Mother has some plans in mind, she will not make a fuss too much."

After hearing these words, Chu Zixi felt a surge of warmth like the sun in her heart.

She slowly raised her head and gazed at her dearest and beloved family members in front of her with full eyes. At this moment, an indescribable feeling of emotion filled her chest - these are real family members!

Here, there is no scolding or abuse, let alone blame or accusation. There is only constant and endless care and love.

She took a deep breath, as if she wanted to absorb all her courage into her chest, and her tone was filled with a firmness that could not be ignored: "Don't worry, grandma, everything is fine. Look at me, I'm still full of energy and healthy." After she finished speaking, she stood up lightly, and turned around playfully and flexibly like a dancing butterfly.

The old lady stared at the scene in front of her, and only until she saw her granddaughter so lively and cheerful did her heart finally fall back into her stomach. The corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up into a smile of extreme relief, and she nodded repeatedly and said, "It's good that everything is fine, it's great that everything is fine! It has been quite some time since you got married to the prince, and it's time to think about when you can have a child. Although Jun Bai is a really adorable child, he is not your biological child after all." The old lady's words were obviously filled with eager expectations.

Chu Zixi never expected that the topic would suddenly turn to the issue of having children. She was stunned for a moment, as if she had turned into a sculpture.

After a long while, she came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream. Her cheeks were slightly red, and her voice was as gentle as the breeze blowing over the willows: "Grandma, you see, I'm still young. As for having a child, it's better to let everything take its course."

The old lady was slightly startled when she heard this, but soon a look of understanding emerged on her face. She smiled with relief and said earnestly: "Well, well, you young people always have your own ideas and thoughts. But remember one thing, no matter when and where, our Protectorate Mansion will always be your most solid and reliable support and backing."

Chu Zixi nodded obediently and responded, "Yeah."

Qin smiled, a grateful smile bloomed. She raised her slender jade hand slightly and gently stroked her sleeves, her movements were elegant and calm. Then, she opened her red lips and said slowly: "Come to think of it, I haven't thanked Xi'er properly yet! Last time, our Xiaoyue suddenly fell ill and the situation was extremely critical. If it weren't for Xi'er's help, I'm afraid the consequences would be disastrous. But Si'er was the same. Xiaoyue was sick, but she didn't even send someone back to inform us. Fortunately, Xi'er was here, and we were saved from danger."

Hearing Qin's words, Chu Zixi quickly responded softly: "Aunt, you are so polite! This is what I should do. By the way, aunt, I wonder if my cousin is doing well recently? I've been thinking about her all the time."
