The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night

Qingshanyuan finally became quiet.

As soon as Su Li returned to the house, she saw two children who looked like jade sculptures standing timidly inside. When Huan Ge'er saw her come in, he subconsciously pulled Xi Jie'er back several steps.

He had just seen the woman scolding the servants in the yard. The maids were beaten until they were bloody, but the woman didn't even blink.

terrible!

Grandma was right. This is a spoiled and overbearing woman! My father married a woman like this. I'm afraid he will suffer in the future!

It seems that I and my sister can't escape the clutches of this devil either.

On this side, Su Li's heart melted when she saw the two children.

She picked up a piece of cake from the table and called Xijieer over.

Xijie'er blinked her big eyes and looked up at her brother. Seeing her brother shake his head slightly, she licked her lips and refused to come forward to take it.

Seeing this, Su Li had no choice but to stuff the cake into her mouth.

She had been busy all morning and was already hungry, so this was the perfect meal to fill her stomach. While eating, she asked,

"Xijie'er, you really don't want to have some? It's so sweet and delicious."

Xijieer swallowed a big mouthful of saliva and watched Su Li eating with relish. Even Huange'er's stomach made a rumbling sound.

Seeing this, Songzhi hurriedly brought the cake over and stuffed it into Huan Ge'er's hand, saying softly:

"Eat."

Huan Ge'er then carefully took a piece, took a bite and swallowed it. After a while, when he was sure that nothing was wrong, he put the piece he had eaten in his sister's hand.

"What did you have for breakfast?"

Su Li asked.

"I didn't eat it." Xijie responded in a sweet voice.

"Don't talk!" Huan Ge'er pulled her hand to stop her.

Everyone went to Zhengqitang that morning, and no one cared about their breakfast. However, this happened all the time, and they were used to it. They drank a few sips of cold water to fill their stomachs, and then waited a while, and they had lunch at noon.

Su Li's heart clenched. The two children were in the growth stage, how could they not eat breakfast? She must have a cheap mother-in-law with a beautiful face and a vicious heart who didn't care about the two children at all.

No wonder Brother Huan looks so thin.

Thinking about this, she turned around and said to Songzhi:

"Go to the kitchenette and tell them I'd like two meat dishes, four vegetables, and a bowl of soup for lunch. Also, bring the prince's menu. Also, tell mother I'm not feeling well and won't be dining in the main room."

She was very angry today, and she was furious again when she returned to the yard. She definitely wouldn't go to eat this meal.

Her arrogant and domineering personality is quite useful!

Songzhi looked at the two children with heartache and left as instructed.

Huan Ge'er's eyes darted around, and when he heard about the lunch, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva. He only heard Su Li say:

"Your rooms aren't ready yet. After lunch, you can take a short nap in the side room. I'll take you to your rooms this afternoon."

Your own room?

Huan Ge'er widened his eyes in astonishment, but soon felt relieved.

The so-called room is just a small side room.

That's how it is at his grandmother's place. He and his sister have been squeezed into a cramped and dark side room for three years.

Now that his sister is still young, he can sleep with her. When his sister grows up a little, he can just build another wooden bed for her.

As he was thinking this, he saw Su Li had already walked to Xi Jie'er's side and reached out to touch her little face, which was tender and delicate, rosy and a little hot.

Seeing that Xi Jie'er no longer resisted, Su Li happily bent down and hugged Xi Jie'er.

She looked round, but was surprisingly light when I held her. Upon closer inspection, I saw that she was wearing many layers of clothes, making her look round and bulky.

It was spring now and the weather had warmed up, especially at noon when the sun was still a little hot. Su Li was only wearing two thin spring shirts and was still sweating after the beating just now.

She reached in behind Xijie'er's collar and touched her back. Sure enough, it was burning hot. Her hands were sweating and her inner clothes were soaked.

No wonder Xijie's face is so red.

"Why are you wearing so many clothes? Are you hot, Sister Xi?"

Su Li asked with concern.

Xijieer nodded.

Su Li took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into the back of her neckline. After stuffing it in smoothly, she began to undress Xi Jie'er, saying as she did so:

"Let's take off two layers when it's hot, and add more layers when it's cold, okay?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Huan Ge'er stepped forward and grabbed her hand, stopping her:

"Woman, do you understand the principle of keeping warm in spring and cold in autumn?"

Su Li looked at him and said seriously:

"It's true that you should keep warm in spring and cool in autumn. But Sister Xi is wearing too much, and she's soaked with sweat. If the sweat gets stuck inside her, it will be even worse."

As he said this, he took Huan Ge'er's hand and touched Xi Jie'er's back.

Huan Ge'er was speechless for a moment.

He snorted and turned his head away, "You're the only one who understands!"

Su Li burst into laughter and said while taking off Xi Jie'er's clothes:

"I know a lot, you'll know later."

“Who wants to know?”

Haha, quite arrogant.

Su Li was not surprised and said with a smile:

"You said I first married your third uncle and then remarried your father. That's wrong. Although your third uncle welcomed me into the family, we didn't have a wedding ceremony or a bridal chamber. Without a wedding ceremony, the ceremony is not complete, and I am still a spinster. So, how can it be considered unfaithful for me to marry your father as a spinster?"

"Really?"

Huan Ge'er hesitated and slowly turned his head.

Su Li nodded solemnly.

"I don't know where your opinion comes from. But what I said is the truth. If it weren't so, the Marquis wouldn't agree. Moreover, there were so many guests yesterday. If I were unfaithful, I would be drowned in spit."

Huan Ge'er remained silent, but his starry eyes seemed to be filled with thought.

Ever since he was old enough to understand, his father had been paralyzed in bed. He and his younger sister were raised by their grandmother, who wasn't his biological mother, but seemingly gave them the best of everything. Yet, his young mind was sensitive to any unusual emotions.

Over the years, he has learned to read people's expressions and has become more taciturn.

Last night, his grandmother pulled him aside and talked for a long time. Part of it was about the hard work that his grandmother had put in raising the two of them over the years, but most of it was about bad things about this capable woman.

He knew that in this mansion, only by relying on his grandmother could he and his sister have a good life. That was why he said those words in Zhengqi Hall just now.

But now it seems that this woman is not as bad as my grandmother said.

Nanny Li helped to take off Xijie'er's outer clothes and waistcoats, a total of five or six pieces, and placed them in a high pile on the couch. Nanny Li shook her head at the sight.

"Miss, those maids who take care of the young lady are probably dressing her too much to make her look fatter. Really, in this weather, aren't they afraid of fainting from the heat? What a sin!"

After taking off her clothes, Xijieer became much thinner, and her arms and legs looked very thin when she touched them.

Su Li was not surprised. How could the Marquis's wife, who was so two-faced in public and behind the scenes, really be kind to the two children? They were not her own grandchildren.

But now that the child is with her, she has the final say on how to raise the child.

……

Nanny Tian and Nanny Hua are good cooks and work efficiently. In just a short while, they had prepared lunch and spread it out on a large table.

Huan Ge'er sat upright, eating very carefully. He only picked up the dish in front of him with his chopsticks, took two bites in a row, and then stopped, just lowering his head and silently eating the white rice.

Looking at him, Su Li's heart ached.

She put several pieces of meat, several pieces of ribs, and some vegetables into Huan Ge'er's bowl, and also filled a large bowl with soup.

"Brother Huan, you're still growing up, how can you eat so little? You don't have to be restrained in your own home! I don't have so many rules, just eat whatever you want!"

Huan Ge'er was stunned for a moment when he looked at the mountain of vegetables in his bowl.

No one ever served him any food.

My grandmother was a stickler for rules. She insisted on not talking while eating or sleeping, and she wouldn't even take the same dish three times. Every time he finished, it was as if he hadn't eaten at all, and he felt even hungrier.

But this woman, when she sat at the table, was always fussy and had no manners at all. She even picked up food for herself, as if she was afraid that she would starve to death.

If he hadn't heard that she was the eldest daughter of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, he would have suspected that she was from the countryside.

But for some reason, he didn't feel disgusted at all when he heard her chattering at the dinner table. Instead, he thought it was quite lively.

“I don’t eat meat!”

Huan Ge'er pushed all the meat to Xi Jie'er and only ate vegetables and soup.

Su Li was very happy to see that Huan Ge'er had a frown on his face, but he still managed to finish all the vegetables and drink the soup slowly and methodically.

She finally managed to pry open a crack in this child's heart, which was as hard as a clam shell.

There is ample time.

Su Li held Xi Jie'er in her arms, feeding her mouthful by mouthful, enjoying the joy of being a mother.

After lunch, the children took a nap accompanied by Nanny Li.

Su Li then brought lunch into Pei Heng's room.
