Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

"Mother~ woo~"

Huai'an, who was originally huddled at the threshold, stood up quickly when he heard the door open.

He looked towards the house pitifully.

From Meng Yunshang's perspective, she could clearly see that in the dark night, the short and small boy was wearing thin clothes, holding a small cloth tiger in his arms, his eyes full of helplessness and fear.

Meng Yunshang's heart suddenly ached badly.

She got out of bed in a hurry and accidentally pulled the wound on her shoulder, causing her mouth to ache.

Danqiu cried out in pain and quickly ran back to the bed to support her.

Meng Yunshang pushed her hand away, squatted down and waved to Huai'an.

"Mother!"

Huai'an immediately rushed over and threw himself into her arms, sobbing and saying, "Huai'an had a nightmare. He dreamed that his mother disappeared. Huai'an will no longer have a mother."

The little guy cried breathlessly, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances and fears he suffered in the nightmare.

Meng Yunshang hugged him distressedly, "No, mother is here and will always be with An An. An An will not be without mother's love."

"Then can Huai'an sleep with mother tonight? Huai'an doesn't want to have nightmares without mother anymore. Huai'an wants to be with mother forever."

The little fellow tilted his head and asked eagerly. His big deer eyes were especially bright and clear after being washed by tears.

Meng Yunshang couldn't refuse at all, nor did she want to reject his request.

She reached out to wipe away the tears from the little guy's face and kissed his red and swollen eyes.

Under his expectant gaze, she nodded and agreed, "Okay, Mommy will sleep with me."

"Thank you, mother. Huai'an loves you the most."

Danqiu helped carry Huai'an to the bed.

He stared at Meng Yunshang, fearing that she would regret it the next moment and be taken away again.

"Don't worry, I won't go back on my promise to you."

"I know, mother is the best."

The little guy said this as he came closer to her. Meng Yunshang was surprised to see that he came barefoot.

Fortunately, she had deliberately chosen a house not far from him during the day, and the stone slabs under the corridor were flat, so his little feet were not scratched, but they were still covered with a lot of dust.

She smiled and scratched the little guy's nose, then raised her chin to signal him to look at her feet, "Let Danqiu help you wipe them."

"Oops~"

The little guy was shy and wanted to hide his two little fleshy feet, but the length of his trouser legs was just right and he couldn't hide them at all.

At this time, Danqiu came over with warm water. Seeing his cute look, she couldn't help but laughed out loud.

This smile made the little guy even more shy.

But he did not forget to carefully peek at his mother's expression, fearing that she would dislike him.

After he was sure that there was only mischief in his mother's eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After Danqiu cleaned it for him, he immediately shook his little feet in a flattering manner, "Wash it clean."

"Well, then go to sleep."

The little guy immediately lay down obediently on the outside of the bed.

Meng Yunshang was worried that he would roll off the bed in the middle of the night, so she asked Danqiu to carry him to the inside of the bed.

But the little guy said in a very mature manner, "Mom's shoulders and arms are injured and she needs someone to take care of her. Huai'an will sleep outside and can take care of her."

"Your sister Danqiu is here, so you can sleep peacefully inside."

Dan Qiu nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, my lord. I will be guarding outside. If you and the princess need anything, just call me."

"Okay then," Huai'an then hugged the cloth tiger and lay down peacefully.

Meng Yunshang looked at the cloth tiger that he treated like a treasure and asked him softly, "An An likes this cloth tiger very much."

Huai'an nodded, "Of course I like it, because it was given to me by my mother."

Meng Yunshang was slightly stunned.

She remembered that in her previous life, Huai'an had always treated this cloth tiger as a treasure and held it in his arms even before he died.

It turns out that this cloth tiger was given by her?

But she didn't even remember when she gave it to the child.

The suffocating feeling of guilt made Meng Yunshang unable to help but close her eyes, for she was afraid that tears would burst out in the next moment.

Huai'an asked her worriedly, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Is your wound hurting again?"

"Mom, it's okay. Go to sleep."

"Okay, I'm going to sleep then. I won't have nightmares again with mom by my side."

"Ok!"

The little guy fell asleep contentedly.

Meng Yunshang was no longer sleepy. She got up from the bed, poured a cup of tea on the table and sipped it.

The tea was cold and bitter, just like her current mood.

At this time, someone knocked on the window frame rhythmically, followed by a slightly unfamiliar sound.

"Miss, Dan Mo wants to see you."

Worried about disturbing the children, Meng Yunshang walked to the window and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

"Meng Xueyun was intercepted just after leaving the capital. Dan Mo failed in his duty, please punish him, young lady."

"Can you find out the other party's origins?"

"Looking at his martial arts skills, it seems he and I have the same master."

Meng Yunshang chuckled and was not too surprised.

When she had someone release the news that Meng Xueyun was expelled from the capital, she had already anticipated such a scene.

But I still feel sad.

As the same father's child, why can Meng Xueyun enjoy the father's favor even if she did not grow up in the Meng family?

She and her elder brother grew up with their father, but not only did he turn a blind eye to it, he also conspired with Meng Xueyun and her daughter to murder them.

Father, oh father, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.

"Tomorrow I will ask the housekeeper to send a team to search for Meng Xueyun's whereabouts in a big way. You must secretly keep an eye on Meng Xueyun's every move, including who she meets and where she goes every day. You must report to me truthfully."

"clear."

"Also, ask Danyang to go to Xinyang for me. I need to find two people."

Dan Mo hesitated a little, "If both of us are not here, the young lady may not be safe. Should she ask the young master for support?"

"Not for now. I'll write to my brother if I need anything."

"Yes, I am resigning."

That night, Meng Yunshang tossed and turned and fell asleep very late.

But Huai'an had his mother's company and spent the most comfortable night ever.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that his mother was still sleeping. He folded his hands, resting his chin on her, staring at her blankly.

The door opened and Dangui came in with some water.

He quickly hushed Dangui, "Don't disturb mother, let her sleep a little longer."

Dangui nodded and slowed down her movements. She turned around and saw Huai'an climbing off the bed, and quickly came over to hug him.

But Huai An righteously refused, "Men and women should not be so careless in the future, Sister Dangui."

Dan Gui reminded him with a smile, "You are only four years old, my lord."

"Don't sit on the same bed when you're three years old, and don't sleep on the same bed when you're seven years old. Sister Dangui, you're by mother's side, so you should pay more attention to these details."

Dan Gui pointed at the bed behind him and asked him jokingly, "Then, Prince, would you like to stay away from the princess' bed before you say this?"

Huai'an's face turned serious, and he stated solemnly, "Mom is different."

"Well, why is mother different?"

Huai'an turned around when he heard the voice and met Meng Yunshang's teasing gaze.

His expression suddenly changed, and he rushed back to the bed with a bright smile, "Mom, you're awake!"

"You haven't told me yet why Mom is different."

"Three-year-olds, don't sit on the same bed; seven-year-olds, don't sleep on the same bed. This is for outsiders. Mother doesn't need to worry about it."

Meng Yunshang pretended to be serious and reminded him, "But when a child grows up, he should avoid his mother."

"Huai'an is only four years old, and he is still a long way from growing up. And no matter how old Huai'an is, mother is the person closest to Huai'an."

Meng Yunshang was helpless. She was so hypocritical at such a young age and she didn’t know who she took the blame from.
