Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

Chapter 61 Selling Myself to Bury My Mother

In the carriage, Huai'an would steal a glance at Meng Yunshang from time to time, with an expression that said, "I have something to say but I dare not say it."

Meng Yunshang held him in her arms with amusement and asked him gently, "What do you want to say to mother?"

"Is it really okay that I don't forgive Lin Hongxuan?"

"No problem at all!"

"But many people would think that life is a breath of fresh air, and since he apologized, it means I have won this breath, so I should take advantage of the situation and get off the ground."

"Then are you willing to take advantage of this opportunity?"

"If he was only targeting me, it wouldn't be a big deal, but he shouldn't question my mother. I can't stand it."

He can tolerate others being unfriendly to him because no one is perfect.

But I can't accept anyone questioning my mother.

"If we can't stand it, then we won't stand it."

What Meng Yunshang said was a matter of course.

When Huai'an's eyes lit up when he heard this, she added, "If it were me, I wouldn't forgive him either, because the harm he caused won't disappear with just a simple apology."

"Then why did mother come into the school today?"

"Of course, it's because I want to see Huai'an sooner."

The stone hanging in Huai'an's heart finally fell to the ground. He threw himself into Meng Yunshang's arms and sighed in a baby voice, "I'm so happy to be your son."

Meng Yunshang kissed his little face lovingly, "I'm also very happy to be Huai'an's mother."

When Huai'an heard this, he jumped for joy.

Meng Yunshang was worried that he would hit his head due to the narrow carriage, so she pulled him back into her arms.

Huai'an looked up and asked her, "Is my uncle okay?"

He still remembered that before his mother left Beijing, she specifically told him that her uncle was in danger and needed support, so she needed to be away for a few days.

Now that mother has returned safely, uncle must be out of danger as well.

Meng Yunshang nodded, "Yes, uncle is fine. Mother told him that he will come to the palace to see Huai'an soon."

"That's great! I really want to learn painting from my uncle."

Huai'an not only looks forward to meeting his uncle as soon as possible, but also hopes to learn to paint as soon as possible so that he can draw a small portrait of his mother anytime and anywhere.

Those eyes full of desire made Meng Yunshang feel soft in the heart.

It was completely different from what I had just seen in the school.

Meng Yunshang asked him thoughtfully, "Is Huai'an happy going to school every day?"

Huai An paused for a moment before slowly answering, "Happy."

But the smile on the little face had long disappeared without a trace.

Meng Yunshang reminded him, "Baby, don't lie. You have to speak your mind and you can't hide it from mother and father."

Huai'an thought for a moment and said, "My father said that the teachers in the school are all great scholars of our time. I can learn a lot of useful things from them."

"Father is right, but mother is more concerned about whether Huai'an is happy in school."

"If mother invites someone to come to the mansion to give you lessons, would you be willing?"

With Chen Nuo in front and Lin Hongxuan behind, Meng Yunshang was somewhat unhappy with the atmosphere of Kyoto School that harbored corruption and indecency.

Besides, Huai'an has a photographic memory and can learn shooting very quickly, so he can totally accept more in-depth teaching according to his aptitude.

I just don’t know what the little guy is thinking.

If he prefers group life with many people...

"Can I really take classes at home? Then I can have more time to learn spearmanship from my mother? I can also learn painting from my uncle and recite military books with my father?"

Meng Yunshang nodded, "In addition to my mother, father, and uncle, we can also invite various powerful teachers. As long as you want to learn, we can learn the best."

"That's great! Actually, I understand everything the teacher taught me in the academy, but the teacher said that other people don't understand, so we can't be too fast."

"When father comes home tonight, mother will discuss it with him and make sure An An is satisfied."

"Oh, how sorry I am."

Huai'an widened his eyes in surprise, stole a glance at Meng Yunshang, then pretended to be shy and covered his face with his hands, sighing, "Mom really loves me the most."

Meng Yunshang was amused, and scratched his nose and said in a reproachful tone, "You are the treasure given by God to my mother. Who else can I love if I don't love you?"

The little guy immediately raised his head and chest, and said confidently, "Yes, you should love me the most, not father, not at all."

In the palace, a prince who was about to step out of the imperial study and return home suddenly sneezed loudly.

Eunuch Shun was startled and asked quickly, "The prince is not feeling well, should we ask the imperial physician to come and see him?"

"No need," Lu Chenxiao took big steps, eager to return home as soon as possible.

Eunuch Shun followed for a few steps, but was left far behind and had to return to the imperial study.

Emperor Yuan Qing was surprised to see him come back so quickly and asked, "Didn't you help me see Ah Xiao off?"

Eunuch Shun quickly explained the reason.

Upon learning that he was so impatient, Emperor Yuan Qing was so angry that he laughed.

"I asked him to help share some of the memorials, but he got angry with me and even quit his job. As a result, he just ran back home all day long. If you didn't know him, you would think there was a gold mine waiting for him to dig at home."

Eunuch Shun quickly tried to smooth things over, "I guess he wants to pick up the prince from school."

Emperor Yuan Qing sneered, "If he was in a hurry to pick up Huai'an from school, I would still look up to him."

"I don't know what kind of drug Meng fed him. He has been confused for five years and still hasn't woken up."

Eunuch Shun didn't dare to respond.

Emperor Yuan Qing did not expect that he would agree with him, so he muttered a few more words to him and then buried his head in reading the memorial.

But after reading only two books, he raised his head and asked Eunuch Shun, "Are there still people among the people saying that the queen is extravagant?"

"I haven't heard any noise in the past two days. I heard that the servants in Chen's house have been very busy these days."

Emperor Yuan Qing sneered, "Ha! When it comes to the position of Empress, how can I not be busy?"

Eunuch Shun was so scared that he lowered his head and dared not say anything more.

The carriage passed through the downtown area, and Huai'an leaned against the window and looked out curiously.

Suddenly he pointed to a place and told Meng Yunshang, "Mother, there are people selling themselves there to bury our mother."

Meng Yunshang looked in the direction of his finger and saw a slender girl in mourning kneeling on the side of the street.

On the door panel next to her was a corpse covered with a white cloth, and in front of it was a wooden sign with the words "Selling oneself to bury mother" written on it.

Many people gathered in front of the wooden sign, pointing and talking at the girl, but no one was willing to lend a helping hand.

Huai'an begged Meng Yunshang, "Mom, let's go take a look."

"it is good."

Meng Yunshang agreed readily.

He told the driver to stop the carriage in the alley in front, and then carried Huai'an out.

Danqiu and Dangui followed behind her.

Just as the mother and son were about to walk up to the girl, they were overtaken by a few men with bad intentions.

"Little sister," the burly man in the lead picked up the wooden sign, pointed at the words on it and asked the girl, "Do you really want to sell yourself?"

The girl lowered her head and didn't answer.

But the man was not willing to give in. "How about selling it to me? I have plenty of money. As long as you stay with me for one night, I promise to help you bury several mothers."

As soon as he said this, the men following him laughed out loud. "We can help, too. Accompanying one person is the same as accompanying three, four or five people, right?"

The girl was furious at the words that were unbearable to hear. She raised her head and refused with a sullen face, "No need!"

The man got so angry that he raised his arm and slapped the girl.

"You little bitch who doesn't want to drink the toast!"

The girl did not give in. Instead, she stared at the man who hit her with cold eyes.
