An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

After telling Chu Xuan to leave it to the emperor to deal with, Jing Chunxi really put this matter out of his mind completely after returning home and never thought about it again.

To her, this man, with whom she had long severed her father-daughter relationship, had no positive trace in her long life except for the contribution of an insignificant tadpole.

He gave birth to her, but never fulfilled his responsibility of raising her for a single day. Instead, he regarded her and her siblings and their mother as heavy burdens that he could not get rid of, and his disgust for them was beyond words.

It would be fine if he was ungrateful, but he even dared to add insult to injury when the General's Mansion was in trouble. With every one of those things, he aided and abetted the tyrant, colluded with the rebels, and stirred up trouble, which made him a shame to the people of the world.

He deserved to die. If Jing Chunxi hadn't felt that killing him personally would dirty her own hands and tarnish the good reputation of the Rong En Marquis's Mansion, she would have wanted to pick up the knife herself and poke a few transparent holes in his black heart to relieve the hatred in her heart.

Some people are born to bring disaster upon themselves and are doomed to fail. Their ending has already been predetermined. What does it have to do with her, Jing Chunxi?

On the other side, Xu Dingchun's state of mind was surprisingly similar to Jing Chunxi's.

When he returned home, facing his gentle wife, he never mentioned anything about Chu Xuan in the court today. In his heart, his wife belonged to him completely, and their relationship should not be disturbed by any external filth.

If he had not been forced to leave home and even lost that crucial memory due to the malicious obstruction of the villain, they would not have been separated for many years and suffered so many unnecessary hardships.

However, God finally opened their eyes and allowed them to reunite after going through so many twists and turns, and finally be together and live happily.

In that case, why bother digging up those forgotten memories of the tragic past and going over them in his mind? That would only add to his wife's worries and sorrow, and he didn't want her to endure even a little bit of it.

After Jing Chunxi returned home, he rested for three days.

During these three days, Xu Zize showed up on time every day, just before dusk when meals were about to be served.

The family sat around the table for dinner in a harmonious atmosphere. After dinner, the two of them went to the winding corridor over the open lake in the backyard to take a walk to digest their food.

After this incident, the elders in the family seemed to have finally let go of their grievances and stopped trying to stop them from visiting. The servants in the mansion, now aware of the Crown Prince's deep affection for the princess, greeted him with smiles, their warmth and respect even greater than before.

Jin Jie'er, Yan Jie'er and other little girls really understood this time that their cousin was the apple of the eye of the Crown Prince's eye.

Thinking of the jokes that he might have said in private in the past about threatening His Highness, he just wanted to take them back, but he absolutely couldn't. He felt regretful and afraid, so much so that when he saw Xu Zize these days, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, and dared to walk around him from a distance.

One day, Jing Chunxi called his four sisters to his side and ordered someone to bring four large brocade boxes and push them in front of them.

Jin Jie'er curiously opened it and exclaimed, "What? These... these are really~ all rewards from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

The moment the lid of the box was opened, Yanjie'er and Ling'er who were nearby were also stunned. Their eyes widened, and they could not believe the golden scene before them. They never thought that they would have a share of such a generous reward.

"They are all gold ingots! Ten in total, that's too many!" Yan Jie'er's voice trembled slightly with excitement. She couldn't help but pick up a heavy gold ingot, subconsciously put it on her teeth and bit it gently. After seeing the clear teeth marks on it, she was sure that this was not a dream.

An extremely happy smile instantly broke out on her face, and she thought to herself: As expected, if I follow my cousin, I won't have to worry about my dowry in the future.

Jing Chunxi couldn't help but laugh at their adorable expressions of surprise and delight, like little money-grubbers. She softly explained, "His Highness also asked me to thank you on his behalf. You guys have been so attentive and caring for me these past few days, accompanying me day and night. This is a special reward for you."

After saying that, she called out softly, "Chun Tao."

"I'm here, Princess." Chuntao came out in response, holding a larger and more exquisite makeup box in her hand, and put it on the table.

After opening the lid, he pushed the glittering jewellery inside towards the ladies.

Jing Chunxi smiled at her sisters and said, "These are my thanks for your care and companionship during this period. The box contains some jewelry suitable for your age. Divide them among yourselves!"

"Ah? Really? And jewelry!"

"I knew my sister loved us the most!"

"Mingzhu loves her sister the most!"

"I want this, it's beautiful."

……

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a burst of joyful cheers in the room. The girls' clear and excited voices not only resounded throughout Xichun Gui, but the birds in the three courtyards were probably scared away.

Only after the four little maids happily held the beautiful jewelry they had been given, chattered and ran into the inner room to look in the mirror, dress up, and show off their beauty, did Jing Chunxi signal the maid to bring Xiaoyu in.

During this period, Xiaoyu has been carefully cared for by the imperial physician with prescriptions prescribed by the imperial physician. Jing Chunxi also specially assigned two smart maids to take care of her. Now her complexion is indeed much better than before, and her face is a little rosier. She only coughs occasionally, reminding everyone that the damage to her lungs has not yet fully healed.

"Xiaoyu, come sit next to Sister." After returning to Beijing, under the careful guidance of Nanny Zhou, Xiaoyu no longer addressed Jing Chunxi as "Sister" as before, but instead addressed her as "Miss" or "Princess." However, Jing Chunxi always gently addressed himself as "Sister" in front of her.

She gently stroked Xiaoyu's increasingly round face and asked gently, "Xiaoyu, I want to become sworn sisters with you and become real sisters from now on. Are you willing?"

When Xiaoyu heard this, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of surprise. She was stunned for a long time, and there was no surprise on her face. Instead, she seemed to be frightened by this sudden proposal.

After a long while, she timidly whispered, "But...but sister, I have already promised Madam Zhou that I will be her granddaughter."

"Really?" This time it was Jing Chunxi's turn to feel unbelievable. She subconsciously turned her head to look at Chuntao and Hongfen who were standing beside her, with a questioning look in her eyes.

Hongfen quickly explained softly, "My Lady, Madam Zhou has been very kind to Xiaoyu, always caring about her well-being. She's even personally prepared her medicine and nourishing soups for every meal. Madam is old, and it's only natural for her to want to have children and grandchildren around to care for her."

Chun Tao also nodded and agreed: "Hongfen is right, it is true."

After hearing this, Jing Chunxi nodded in understanding and smiled, "I see. But this isn't contradictory. Nanny Zhou is an elderly woman who has been honored and cared for in our house. From now on, we won't call her Nanny anymore. Let's just change it and respectfully address her as 'Grandma Zhou'."

"Yes, Princess." Upon hearing this, the several senior maids were genuinely happy for Xiaoyu. They all knew that Xiaoyu was not a slave, and that she had bravely used her tender and fragile body to serve as a scapegoat for the Princess. This loyalty and bravery was truly moving. They were also relieved that she would remain by the Princess' side as a sister, so their answers were particularly straightforward.

Jing Chunxi turned around, gently took Xiaoyu's frail body into his arms, and said firmly, "In that case, I'll ask Grandfather to help pick an auspicious day. We'll set up a few tables for a feast and formally perform the sworn brotherhood ceremony."

She paused, looked into Xiaoyu's eyes, and said seriously, "But Xiaoyu, remember this. From now on, you can no longer call me 'Princess'. You have to call me 'Sister' like you did when we first met. Understand?"
