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

Ping'er fell asleep, still calling for his mother in his dreams. The imperial physician, the nanny, and the palace maids crowded into his room, and the room was filled with the smell of medicine.

The Ninth Princess also lost a lot of weight due to the stress.

"Sister Su."

When the Ninth Princess saw Su Li, her eyes turned red, but she quickly suppressed them.

In the entire Marquisate, she only looks up to Su Li.

Only when Su Li came could she say a few words.

"Princess, why do you look so haggard after not seeing you for a few days?"

Su Li was also surprised to see the Ninth Princess like this.

Ling Rong couldn't help but say, "Young Madam, our princess hasn't had a good sleep for several days."

The Ninth Princess glanced away from her and said, "You're too talkative."

Lingrong didn't care. She finally had a place to vent her grievances today.

"Princess, that bitch surnamed Liu is telling everyone that you stole her child, but when Brother Ping arrived at Fangfei Garden, everything he ate and used was top-notch."

"When he fell ill, even though the princess scolded him, she was personally by Ping'er's side that day, taking care of everything personally. She even lost a lot of weight!"

"As for the son-in-law, he only took a look at his own child and paid no attention to his food or daily necessities. If you didn't know, you would think this wasn't his son!"

After hearing this, Su Li's opinion of the Ninth Princess changed a lot.

Originally, she thought that the Ninth Princess was seeking revenge for personal gain, and that Ping Ge'er was just a child taking out his anger, but now it seems that she had misunderstood her.

"Princess, please relax. Children are bound to have headaches and fevers. They will get better with the imperial physician here."

Su Li is raising two children by herself and is more empathetic.

Although Ping'er is naughty, he is still a child after all! The fight between adults should not involve children.

The Ninth Princess wiped away her tears. "Sister Su, that bitch surnamed Liu has humiliated me. I wanted to take her child and make her suffer a fate worse than death! I even thought about strangling him to death! But...but seeing him like this, I can't bear it..."

Su Li couldn't help but sigh.

"The imperial physician said that Brother Ping was born weak and has been weak for a long time, which is why this attack is so serious. He needs to be carefully cared for and nurtured slowly in order to be cured."

Su Li had heard that Ping Ge'er was weak.

When I first met him, he was also very small, not much better than Xi Jie'er. I heard that he had been wandering around with Liu Xu for many years, and had been suffering from minor illnesses and disasters all the time.

Even after entering the Marquis' Mansion, Liu Xu was busy with business every day and never had the time to take good care of him.

The Marquis's wife doted on her grandson, allowing him to be lawless, and Ping'er's temperament became extremely spoiled.

Coming out of Fangfei Garden, Song Tao sighed behind him:

"The Ninth Princess has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. People like her are most likely to suffer losses and have been given a bad reputation for nothing."

Su Li said: "Yes! Even I almost misunderstood her."

Songzhi smiled and said, "Miss, are you relieved now?"

Su Li's eyes lit up and she smiled, "Why should I worry?"

Song Tao cut her mouth short and interrupted, "Actually, Miss is just like the Ninth Princess, with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. As far as I'm concerned, a dragon begets a dragon, and a phoenix begets a phoenix. A mouse's son would be moved! What good could come from that vile couple? Miss, there's no need to sympathize with him!"

Sympathy?

nonexistent!

The more miserable Liu Xu and Pei Yan became, the happier she was. Because it was their own fault.

But Brother Ping can still be saved!

"Mom, I still like my little brother from before. Even though he doesn't talk, I'm willing to share my toys with him. Now he's so mean, as if the whole world owes him something!"

Xijie pouted.

Children's eyes are sharp.

Su Li touched Xi Jie'er's little face and said, "Don't worry, the princess will teach her brother well. When her brother becomes well behaved, will you still be willing to play with him?"

"Yes! Mom said that if someone bullies you, don't be afraid and fight back! But don't bully others! If my brother becomes a better person, I will still be willing to share my toys with him."

Su Li touched her head and said, "Good girl!"

But before Brother Ping could get better, something unexpected happened.

……

That day, the sky seemed to have a hole in it. It was stormy and windy from noon, and it was as dark as night.

The sky was covered with dark clouds and the rain kept falling like it was free. It was not even until school was over that the rain showed any sign of stopping.

The temperature dropped a lot, and the strong wind blew in raindrops as big as beans, making the house wet.

"Songzhi, send someone to check. It's already this late, why hasn't Brother Huan come back yet?"

Su Li looked at the dark gusts of wind from the sky, and her brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a mosquito to death.

With this horrible weather, I'm afraid we're facing a super typhoon.

There was no weather forecast or anything, so we were caught off guard.

"Miss, don't worry. I've already asked someone to harness the carriage to go to the academy to pick up the young master. I think it's because of the strong wind and heavy rain, so the journey is a bit slow."

Songzhi was busy closing the window, but it was blown open again by the strong wind.

For some reason, Su Li felt frightened and her eyelids were twitching today.

She thought about it and still felt uneasy, so she picked up her umbrella and went out.

"Miss, it's raining so hard, be careful of the cold."

Songzhi and Songtao followed out holding umbrellas.

Su Li turned to Li Ma Ma who was also about to follow and said:

"Mammy, I'll go to the gate to greet them. Please quickly prepare some hot water and ginger soup for Huan Ge'er when he comes back."

The three of them walked out in the rain, and the rain on the road had already reached their ankles.

"Miss, be careful. The lake over there is overflowing. Come this way and don't step on empty air." Songzhi pulled Su Li.

In the rain, everything was white, and nothing could be seen more than a few steps away. The master and servants supported each other and walked a few steps before they encountered Ling Rong and a few others rushing into the rain.

"what happened?"

Su Li asked hurriedly when she saw Ling Rong.

Ling Rong's face turned pale and she looked anxious: "Young Madam, Ping'er is missing."

"Gone?"

"Well, his fever went down a couple of days ago and he's been a bit better. He's been much more well behaved. But today, when Nanny took a nap, she woke up and found that Ping'er was gone. I guess he slipped out when we weren't paying attention."

"Then hurry to check on Madam Hou and Piaoxiang Pavilion."

If Ping'er ran away, he would either sneak back to Liu Xu or to the Marquis's wife.

Ling Rong's face was filled with worry. "I've been there, but they said they didn't see it. We're all looking for it right now."

"Ping'er! Where are you? Come out, it's mother, mother is here to see you!"

Liu Xu's umbrella was blown away by the wind. She fell into the mud several times and had to get up again. She stumbled and ran in the rain. When she passed by Su Li, she didn't even look at her.

The servants of the Marquis' Mansion were also scattered everywhere searching.

Su Li was worried about Huan Ge'er and didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so she ran into a rock after taking a few steps.

"Shitou, where's Brother Huan?"

Su Li asked while pulling Shi Tou.

Shitou said in a muffled voice, "Young Master, did you come in first? The bookcase fell on the carriage, so I went back to get it. What's the matter? Didn't the young lady see it?"

Su Li's head buzzed.

Turn around and walk back.

The violent storm made her feel uneasy, and the image of Lingrong and the others looking for Ping'er appeared before her again.

But when they returned to Qingshan Courtyard, Nanny Li said that she had not seen Huan Ge'er come back.

Now, the people in Qingshanyuan were also furious.

Su Li's heart sank.

"Everyone, go look for him immediately. Search carefully along the road from the mansion gate to Qingshan Courtyard! Especially... by the lake!"

"Yes!"

Everyone dispersed.

Xi Jie'er tugged at Su Li's sleeve, tears welling up in her big eyes, "Mother..."

Su Li said calmly, "Don't be afraid, brother will be fine. Mother will go and find him now."

Pei Heng squeezed Su Li's hand and said, "Ali, don't worry. Huan Ge'er is smart and nothing will happen to him."

Su Li nodded with tears in her eyes and rushed into the rain.

Pei Heng was also extremely anxious, but he hated that he could do nothing. He could only push his wheelchair and wait at the door.

As the sky gradually darkened, everyone's heart sank.

Su Li stumbled and ran towards the lake.

I searched everywhere in the mansion but couldn't find Huan Ge'er. And from the mansion gate to Qingshan Courtyard, I had to pass by the lake...

Thinking of the water overflowing the lakeshore, Su Li could only pray silently: No! Never!

Then I heard someone shouting in the rain and fog across the street:

"Found it! Found it!"

After running a few steps, I saw a group of people gathered by the lake.

Su Li's heart sank. He took a few steps forward, pushed through the crowd, and looked around. Then his head buzzed and his vision went dark.

I saw two small figures floating on the water in a bush not far from the lake.
