"Did Mingzhu bully you?"

Tang Qiyue looked at the nervous Xie Changjin in front of her and shook her head, "She can't bully me yet."

"If she dares to bully you, I will bully her back." Xie Changjin held her in his arms, with a dark and deep look in his eyes that Tang Qiyue didn't see.

Tang Qiyue patted his chest and said, "She is your cousin, are you willing to help me bully her? You only know how to fool me!"

"I'm not trying to fool you." Xie Changjin grabbed her hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it gently.

Tang Qiyue was startled, she looked around before she breathed a sigh of relief. The officials had already gone to do their own things, otherwise it would be so annoying if people saw Xie Changjin being so bold!

"Please restrain yourself!" Tang Qiyue freed her hand and asked him, "Does His Majesty know about what happened between us?"

"You can hide it from everyone, but you can't hide it from His Majesty. You have already revealed your face to His Majesty. No one can bully you in the future."

"Then can I walk around the capital with my head held high?" Tang Qiyue raised her head from his arms and blinked mischievously.

"Of course you can." Xie Changjin stretched out his hand and pinched her nose. "If anyone dares to bully you, you can bully him back. Don't be afraid. I'm here."

"I won't offend anyone unless they offend me."

"I know."

The residence that the Marquis' Mansion arranged for Tang Qiyue was in the courtyard where Xie Changjin lived. Originally, Song Wanyu wanted to arrange her to live in her son's room, but then she thought that they had not yet gotten married and doing so would be bad for Tang Qiyue's reputation, so she arranged her to live next door.

Zhao Bao was rolling around on the bed that smelled of Tang Qiyue. He wanted to sleep with his mother tonight.

But he waited and waited but still didn't see Tang Qiyue. He slid off the bed and ran to the door. The two servants guarding the door quickly followed.

Madam said that the young master could do whatever he wanted and they couldn't stop him, but if he did something dangerous, they had to protect him immediately and couldn't let him get hurt.

Tang Qiyue and Xie Changjin were walking back hand in hand, admiring the beautiful scenery of the moon rising above the willow trees, when they vaguely saw a ball running towards them.

There were lanterns hanging on both sides of the corridor. Tang Qiyue saw clearly at first glance that the person rushing towards her was her adopted son. She quickly squatted down to catch him, fearing that he would hit his little head.

"What's wrong with Zhaobao? Do you miss your mother?" Tang Qiyue held his fleshy hand and rubbed his head. Fine beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

Xie Changjin stood tall and clenched his fingers. This brat refused to hold his hand as soon as July came!

"Yes!" Zhao Bao nodded heavily, "Zhao Bao misses mother and wants to sleep with mother tonight."

"No!" Before Tang Qiyue could speak, Xie Changjin next to her had already sternly refused.

The two, one big and one small, looked up at Xie Changjin at the same time, their eyes confused.

"Why!" Zhao Bao retorted loudly, clenching his fists tightly and staring at Xie Changjin.

"You are two years old, almost three! You are already a big child, so you naturally cannot sleep with your mother. Your mother is a woman, you have to know the boundaries, don't you understand?" Xie Changjin said in a serious voice.

Tang Qiyue's face was dark. Zhao Bao in her arms blinked his eyes in grievance, as if he was about to cry at any time. He asked sullenly, "Really?"

"Of course it's true! Zhaobao, you are a big boy now. Do you want to tell your friends that you still sleep with your mother when you are three years old?"

"I don't want to!" Zhao Bao kept shaking his head.

Tang Qiyue tilted her head and glared at Xie Changjin, "That's enough, her son is less than three years old!"

Xie Changjin pretended not to notice Tang Qiyue's warning and continued to persuade her, "So you have to sleep alone. You have to be brave! You have to tell your good friends that you are a brave and good child."

"Yeah!" Zhao Bao wiped his eyes, "I'm a brave baby!"

He looked at Tang Qiyue again, "Mother, Zhaobao has to sleep alone tonight!"

Tang Qiyue's mouth twitched, "No, mother will sleep with you."

"No! Zhaobao is a big boy and should sleep alone!"

There are many rooms in Xie Changjin's yard. The servants have already cleaned them up. The room is right next to where Tang Qiyue lives.

Tang Qiyue asked tentatively, "It's so dark at night, isn't Zhaobao afraid? Are you really not going to sleep with mother?"

Her baby is not even three years old! He is full of milk, so what's wrong with sleeping together?

When Tang Qiyue thought about not being able to hold her little baby in her arms at night, she glared at the culprit fiercely!

Xie Changjin turned his head away guiltily and looked at the moon in the sky.

"Zhaobao is not afraid! Zhaobao is a brave child!" Zhaobao's voice was a little trembling when he said this, but he thought of what Xie Changjin said, he must be brave, and he must protect his mother well!

Tang Qiyue couldn't persuade him, so she had to agree to let him sleep alone in the next room, but she still had to do the washing up before going to bed.

The mother and son held hands and left someone behind.

Xie Changjin stared at the figures, one big and one small, walking away, shook his head helplessly, and went to wash up.

In the huge bathtub, Zhao Bao was completely stripped off, looking like a small steamed bun with a milky fragrance.

Tang Qiyue couldn't help but bite his chubby arm, which made Zhao Bao giggle.

"Mom, is Daddy bad?" Zhao Bao swiped at the water while letting Tang Qiyue rub foam on him. It was the children's shower gel that Tang Qiyue had packed out from the space.

"Why do you call him bad daddy? Huh?" Tang Qiyue had always been puzzled. Ever since Zhao Bao agreed to recognize Xie Changjin, he had been calling him bad daddy. Of course, when there were outsiders around, he would be sensible enough to remove the word bad.

"Because he bullied mother!" Zhao Bao's face was serious.

Tang Qiyue was stunned, "Who told you that your father bullied me?" No one in the family should say such words in front of Zhaobao, who is only two years old.

"My aunt told Zhaobao. She said that the bad daddy disappeared after bullying mom, leaving mom to suffer alone and raise Zhaobao, so he is a bad daddy!"

So it was the little girl Tang Shuyao who said that. Tang Qiyue narrowed her eyes.

"Mother, is what my aunt said wrong?" Not hearing Tang Qiyue speak, Zhao Bao asked in confusion.

"You are still young, there are some things that mother cannot tell you for the time being, but what your aunt said is only half right. Although it is very hard for mother to raise you alone, mother is very happy."

Tang Qiyue kissed his rosy cheeks again, "With such a lovely Zhaobao, mother won't have to work hard."

Zhaobao was so shy after being kissed that he wanted to cover his face but couldn't bear to do so. His big eyes sparkled, "Mother likes Zhaobao the most, right?"

This kid is competing with him for favor again!

"Yes! Mother loves Zhaobao the most! Do you really not want mother to sleep with you tonight?"

"No! Zhaobao can do it alone! Zhaobao has a doll given by his mother, Zhaobao is not afraid!"

Tang Qiyue asked twice and got the same answer, so she had to give up. After giving Natuanzi a bath, she put on his underwear and tucked him into the quilt, saying, "If you get scared at night, call for mother loudly. Mother is next door, you know?"

"Know!"
