The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

If Xuan Ge'er wants something, just tell me directly. It's a good thing that Xuan Ge'er wants to give the rabbit to my grandmother. Xuan Ge'er is filial, and I won't refuse."

Sister Wei held her youngest brother and taught him gently, and Brother Xuan nodded as if he understood.

Looking at the two plump rabbits, Wei Jieer looked at her grandmother and said with a smile, "Grandma, didn't you want to eat rabbits before? These two fat rabbits are just right for us to add to the dish tonight."

Song Shengfu was a little surprised. Sister Wei had raised these rabbits for quite some time, but now she was willing to eat them.

Kang Ge'er was also a little confused and asked directly.

"Sister Wei is willing to do this?"

Sister Wei waved her fan and said disapprovingly, "The Master once said that family is the most important thing, and external things are not important. As long as Grandma is happy, it's just two rabbits."

Kang Ge'er touched his head in surprise, wondering if the teacher had ever mentioned this.

Song Shengfu sighed that Sister Wei had become much more sensible and had learned a lot from Master Cheng.

Looking at Kang Ge'er again, I could tell from his confused look that he was probably dreaming again during class.

"There are rabbits specially prepared for consumption in the kitchen. Why would you eat them? Besides, you brought them back from the farm. Since you brought them back, take good care of them."

Sister Wei nodded and said with some pity, "That's right. He was originally free outside, but was caught and brought to our house. It would be a bit pitiful if he was eaten."

With all the eating and drinking going on, Kang Ge'er had some say and immediately spoke out to refute.

"Maybe it was destined to come to our house."

Xuan Ge'er and his sister were on the same page at this moment, and he said in a baby voice, "Brother is bad, the little rabbit is pitiful."

"What a pity! It's so nice to just eat and drink here without having to feed the wolf."

Sister Wei joked, "Yes, yes, it's better to fill your stomach than to fill the wolf's."

The children were joking with each other, but Song Shengfu was stunned when she heard it. It was destined...

It was fate that the rabbit was in the wild but came to their home.

Was it fate that brought her here?

Thinking of this, Song Shengfu suddenly felt enlightened, and the depression in her heart dissipated. The knot that had been bothering her was suddenly untied.

Just accept what has happened and do your best in the present. Why worry too much and only add to your sadness?

Song Shengfu suddenly laughed, and Kang Ge'er and the others thought that their grandmother was laughing at their conversation just now.

It has been a long time since I saw my grandmother so happy. The children were also trying their best to tease Song Shengfu. Song Shengfu was very happy at this time and was in a very good mood.

The two rabbits that escaped the disaster were still gnawing on the table legs, not knowing that they had almost fallen into the frying pan and were circling in front of the gate of hell.

As a result, Song Shengfu's appetite improved again, and her cheeks, which had been a little thin, quickly became plump again, making her look a little more plump than before.

……

Chu Qinling was escorted back to the capital by Zhang Xueyu when the Emperor of Chu returned to the palace. At this time, Concubine Ning was waiting anxiously in Fuhua Palace, and she would go to the palace gate to take a look from time to time.

"Why haven't you come back yet?"

Concubine Ning looked anxious. She hadn't seen her Ling'er for a long time and didn't know if he had lost weight.

A few days ago, she heard that the Duan family was surrounded and attacked. She was so scared that she couldn't sleep well for several days and was extremely worried.

Concubine Ning did not regret sending Ling'er away. It was because of sending Ling'er away that she and His Majesty had no worries.

Although the Zhao family was caught, Concubine Ning still felt a little frightened every time she thought of what happened in the palace.

Her lip balm, sachets, and ink sticks were all mixed with deadly poisons, and even her food was poisoned. If she hadn't discovered their plan earlier, she might not be standing here now.

Fortunately, Ling'er was not there, otherwise if something happened, she would probably have gone with him.

Concubine Ning was getting impatient when Emperor Chu took Chu Qinling into the palace.

Concubine Ning saw the small figure from afar, and it was not until her vision became blurred that she realized her eyes were wet.

"Ling'er, you've lost a lot of weight..."

At the end of her speech, Concubine Ning's tone gradually lowered, with some disbelief and a bit of joy in her eyes.

I originally thought that my son, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, must have lost weight, but when I saw him again, I found that he was actually a little fatter than before, and there seemed to be more flesh on his face.

"Hahahahahahaha, Xiaoliu, I think father's guess was right, right? I think your mother will be shocked when she sees you."

The King of Chu walked over, shook Concubine Ning's hand, and said with a smile, "I was just like you when I saw Xiaoliu just now. I haven't seen you for a while, and you've really grown stronger."

Chu Qinling bowed and saluted. When he stood up, his cheeks flushed slightly, and his tone was full of guilt:

"It's been a while since we last met, and you've lost a lot of weight. I should have been by your side these days, but I've been unfilial, running away to enjoy myself. You're in trouble, yet you're still constantly worrying about me. Please punish me."

Concubine Ning casually shook off Emperor Chu's hand, hugged Ling'er in her arms, and couldn't control her tears.

"Silly child, what are you talking about? Mother is just happy. My daughter is growing up well. Mother is so happy."

He pulled Chu Qinling to look left and right, nodded with satisfaction, and as if he couldn't see enough, his eyes kept looking at Chu Qinling.

The Emperor of Chu was a little jealous and quickly pulled Concubine Ning to her feet. He coughed and said in a faked dignified manner, "It's unbecoming. You are a concubine after all. It's not right for you to cry at the palace gate."

Concubine Ning glanced at him with her beautiful eyes and ignored him. She took Chu Qinling's hand and walked into the palace, constantly asking about his well-being.

Emperor Chu smiled and followed. He liked Le Rou's little temper. It was harmless but made him feel comfortable.

Concubine Ning and Chu Qinling kept talking, and Chu Qinling kept chattering about what interesting things he saw at the Duan family.

"There's an object called a windmill. It's shaped like an ox or a horse. You pour millet threshed with a huller into it, and with a little bit of skillful spinning, it blows away the chaff and grass, and out comes the rice we eat every day."

"There's also a waterfall. Madam Duan took us to hide there. There were fireflies at night. I caught one and found that it was its tail that was glowing."

Concubine Ning listened to Chu Qinling with a doting and gentle look while fanning herself.

She had learned from Yuzhi before what happened to Ling'er in the Duan family. The Duan family really took good care of Ling'er, which was much better than her own mother's family who were incompetent.

At least he wouldn't hold me back and send a cancer in, which almost harmed Ling'er and almost delayed His Majesty's important event.

When Concubine Ning thought of the Ning family, there was some coldness in her eyes. They always knew how to suck blood from her, but never considered her feelings.

She was really fed up with these blood-sucking insects. In the past, it was fine if they asked for some small favors, but now they almost threatened Ling'er. Concubine Ning had more plans in her mind.

When he raised his eyes again, they were filled with gentleness again, and he fed Chu Qinling two sips of ginger milk.

Chu Qinling felt that he had a lot to say to his mother. He talked about everyone in the Duan family, from the farm to the wild flowers all over the mountains, and from food and drink to the school.

As Chu Qinling was talking, he felt a little sleepy and slowly fell asleep. Concubine Ning gently patted Chu Qinling's back and hummed a ballad softly.

Only after Chu Qinling fell asleep did Concubine Ning signal the palace servants to carry Chu Qinling to the room to sleep.

"What do you think of the Duan family?"

The Emperor of Chu stroked the chess piece in his hand and played chess by himself.
