My bad father married a princess, my mother divorced me, and I became the group's favorite

The carriage that Ye Xiaoxiao and her companions were riding in slowly stopped in front of the gate of Liu Mansion.

Chunxi and Yuezhu had been waiting there, looking around anxiously.

Chunxi had sharp eyes and was the first to notice the carriage. An expression of excitement immediately appeared on her face. She waved and shouted, "Madam and Miss are back!" Yuezhu, who heard the voices, also smiled with joy and hurried forward to greet them.

Liu Yunniang led Ye Xiaoxiao down from the carriage. Chunxi and Yuezhu were relieved to see that the lady and the young lady had returned safely. Chunxi walked forward, gently took Ye Xiaoxiao's hand, and asked with concern: "Madam, young lady, you must be very tired, right? Come in and rest for a while."

The group quickly entered the mansion. No one saw that after they entered the mansion, a dark shadow stood quietly in the darkness at the door, watching their backs as they left.

"General, we..."

Mo Feng saw that Madam Liu and her group had already returned to the mansion, while the general was still standing there motionless, and could not help but speak.

Who knows what the general is doing?

He clearly left before Madam Liu, but he secretly waited by the side. When Madam Liu's carriage started, he followed behind and escorted her all the way back.

Is the general angry with Madam Liu?

"Go home!"

Xiao Mu finally withdrew his gaze and strode away.

Mo Feng hurriedly followed, and the two of them returned to the general's mansion quietly.

"Sister Chunxi, Sister Yuezhu, Xiaoxiao is hungry and I want to eat osmanthus cake." As soon as Ye Xiaoxiao returned home, she began to make requests. She opened her big eyes and looked at Chunxi and Yuezhu with anticipation.

Liu Yunniang looked at her daughter's greedy face and felt helpless.

"It's too late. I can't eat anymore! What if I get food stuck in my stomach during the night?"

"Ah, mother, please don't, I'm really hungry. The food in the palace is not delicious at all. I will be so hungry that I can't sleep..." Ye Xiaoxiao pulled the corner of Liu Yunniang's clothes and kept acting coquettishly.

Liu Yunniang felt sorry for her daughter's pitiful appearance, but she was also worried that she might have indigestion and feel uncomfortable at night. She frowned slightly and said, "Xiaoxiao, it's not that your mother doesn't want you to eat, it's just too late, and eating too much is not good for your health."

Ye Xiaoxiao pouted, her face full of reluctance.

"Mom, can you just eat one piece? Just one piece." She stretched out a finger and looked at Liu Yunniang eagerly.

Liu Yunniang was still a little hesitant, and Chunxi smiled and said, "Madam, Yuezhu specially cooked chicken soup and kept it warm on the stove. If you are worried about indigestion, use the chicken soup to make some noodles. The young lady must be tired from being in the palace today, so even if she eats some to fill her stomach, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Yuemei and Yuezhu also echoed, "Yes, madam. Miss really didn't eat anything tonight. Besides, you didn't use anything. I'll eat more and you can use some."

Liu Yunniang looked at her daughter's longing eyes and finally softened her heart.

"Okay, let's go. It's finally what she wanted."

When Ye Xiaoxiao heard this, she jumped for joy.

"Oh yeah! Thanks mom!"

Chunxi and Yuezhu hurried to the kitchen to prepare noodle soup.

Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to run to the door, eagerly waiting for her midnight snack.

Liu Yunniang looked at her daughter's anxious look and shook her head helplessly.

She really couldn't figure out who her daughter took after to become a foodie.

It wasn’t like this when I was a kid!

Just then, Chunxi and Yuezhu came out with two steaming bowls of noodle soup and some side dishes.

The two bowls of noodle soup looked very tempting. The chicken soup exuded a rich aroma, with a few slices of green vegetables and some chicken floating in it, and thin noodles floating in it, making people salivate.

Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the bowl of noodle soup, and her eyes instantly lit up like bright stars.

Unable to wait to let Yuemei wipe it for her, Ye Xiaoxiao excitedly picked up the chopsticks, as if the most precious delicacy in the world was in front of her and she couldn't wait to feast on it.

"Mom, I'm going to start."

Liu Yunniang looked at her daughter, who was as cute as a little greedy cat, with a gentle smile on her face and her eyes full of doting.

She whispered, "Eat slowly, don't burn yourself." Her tone was full of concern and love.

While wolfing down the noodle soup, Ye Xiaoxiao said incoherently, "Mom, it's delicious, really delicious. It's much better than the imperial meals in the palace. Chunxi and Sister Yuezhu's cooking skills are comparable to those of the imperial chefs!" After saying that, she smacked her lips in satisfaction. She looked so adorable that it made people laugh.

After hearing what her daughter said, Liu Yunniang shook her head slightly, but her eyes were full of smiles.

She turned to look at Chunxi and Yuezhu and said, "Look at this kid, he's really sweet. But your cooking skills are really good, thank you for your hard work."

Chunxi and Yuezhu lowered their heads quickly, with shy smiles on their faces. Chunxi said, "Madam, you are too kind. As long as the young lady likes it, we are happy."

Yuezhu also nodded and agreed: "Yes, madam. It is our blessing to be able to cook something for you and the young lady." Seeing Ye Xiaoxiao eating so happily, Chunxi and Yuezhu were also filled with a sense of accomplishment.

Liu Yunniang was not hungry at first, but seeing that she was eating so happily, she couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks and take a bite.

Sure enough, although the taste is not as exquisite as that in the palace, it has a unique homely flavor that makes people feel extra warm and satisfied.

After finishing a bowl, Ye Xiaoxiao still felt a little unsatisfied, but she knew her mother would definitely not let her eat any more, so she had to give up.

Chunxi and Yuezhu cleaned up the dishes and ordered hot water to be prepared for the lady and the young lady to take a bath and wash up.

After Liu Yunniang and Ye Xiaoxiao had finished bathing, Ye Xiaoxiao, wearing a soft undergarment with wet hair, came to Liu Yunniang skipping and jumping, her eyes sparkling.

"Mother, is Princess Pingle really doomed to fail?"

Ye Xiaoxiao tilted her head, recalling the scenes in the palace.

Chunxi was drying Ye Xiaoxiao's hair. When she heard this, her hands paused slightly.

Liu Yunniang looked at her daughter's childish face and felt a little suspicious. Was it really Xiaoxiao who caused Xiao Jiang's madness today?

She hesitated for a moment and then said, "Xiaoxiao, mother wants to ask you something. You have to answer mother truthfully, okay?"

Seeing her mother being so serious, Ye Xiaoxiao nodded obediently. If her mother didn't ask, she would definitely not tell anyone. But if her mother asked, she would definitely not lie to her.

Besides, she had no intention of hiding it.

Ever since she came into this world, her mother has always put her first and tried her best to change for her. How could she not understand?

Liu Yunniang looked into Ye Xiaoxiao's big eyes, which were clearly black and white. The calmness in her eyes made her doubt whether she was being too suspicious.

"Xiaoxiao, that Xiao Jiang..."

Liu Yunniang was a little hesitant.

"Mother wants to ask, did I drug that Xiao Jiang?"

Ye Xiaoxiao's soft and tender voice went straight into Liu Yunniang's ears.

Liu Yunniang was shocked. She didn't expect her daughter to express her doubts so directly.

She looked at Ye Xiaoxiao's innocent face and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Chunxi, Yuemei and Yuezhu were also shocked by Ye Xiaoxiao's words.

It really is a lady, but how is that possible?

That's the imperial palace. How did the lady do it?

Ye Xiaoxiao seemed not to notice their shock and continued,

"Mother, Xiaoxiao is not fooling around. I admit that I do dislike her, but the drug Xiaoxiao gave her only made her speak out her true feelings. If she had no intention of harming others or had no bad thoughts, the drug would not have had any effect. Besides, based on her reaction, she might have really harmed her own sister. At this point, that is the punishment she deserves."

Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the surprised expressions on everyone's faces and continued,

"However, she is still somewhat useful. Today, she was the one who revealed the fact that Princess Pingle was pregnant. Otherwise, His Majesty would not have been so furious and directly stripped Princess Pingle of her title. If mother wants to blame me for this, I won't admit it. I am acting on behalf of heaven and doing justice. Humph."

Ye Xiaoxiao would never admit that she had done anything wrong. She admitted that she did it to vent her mother's anger at first, but didn't she end up doing the right thing by accident?

Xiao Jiang's words have revealed that there is definitely something wrong with the cause of Da Jiang's death. It depends on whether Your Majesty's people can find it out.

Liu Yunniang frowned slightly, her eyes flickering, "You! Mother said one thing, and you have ten things waiting to refute me. How do you know I'm blaming you?"

Ok?

Ye Xiaoxiao was puzzled and stared at Liu Yunniang in surprise with her little head tilted.

Is my mother lying to me?

When Liu Yunniang saw her clever look, she laughed out loud in anger, "What's with that expression on your face? Do you think your mother is a coward? Do you want to stop you from doing justice? Do you want to enforce justice on behalf of heaven?"

Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "Mom, you don't blame me! I knew you were the most reasonable person."

She blinked her starry eyes at Liu Yunniang, being extremely servile.

Liu Yunniang shook her head helplessly and said, "You, don't be so reckless in the future. The palace is not a place where you can act arbitrarily. This time it was a fluke. If someone finds out, the consequences will be disastrous."

Ye Xiaoxiao nodded obediently and said, "Mom, I understand. I will be more careful when I drug people next time, and no one will find out."

This?

Liu Yunniang suddenly felt a little confused. Was this what she just meant?

Did she not explain it clearly, or did Xiaoxiao not understand it clearly?

Ye Xiaoxiao seemed very calm, and directly gave Liu Yunniang and Chunxi a heavy blow.

"Don't worry, mother. I'm very careful. The medicine I gave you can't be diagnosed even by the imperial physician. Look, today Princess Pingle was poisoned by my medicine, but the imperial physician couldn't find out what was wrong with her."

Liu Yunniang felt that she was really a little dizzy at the moment.

Why did she drug Princess Pingle?

"What kind of medicine did you give her? Could it be a reaction to her morning sickness today?"

Ye Xiaoxiao had to admit that her mother was truly a remarkable woman who combined beauty and wisdom.

Look, mother guessed it before I even opened my mouth.

"Yes, I put incense in it. Ordinary people won't have any reaction after smelling it, but if a pregnant woman will double her discomfort. If she is not pregnant, my medicine will be useless. In the final analysis, it is her own fault. I didn't do anything."
