Divorced woman with child travels through time

Like soldiers in a camp, the three instinctively stood back to back, forming a triangle that pierced into the group of children like a knife.

Chen Xuanyu was also cunning. He knew that Zhao Jing was not someone to be trifled with, so he rushed over and ignored all the random punches, focusing solely on hitting that foul-mouthed fat guy.

Cao Fang was caught off guard and was actually grabbed by the collar, and Chen Xuanyu, who was standing on tiptoe, slapped him several times across the face.

"I'll beat you to death, you're so smart, so talkative!" Chen Xuanyu slapped him while cursing.

The children were initially stunned, as no one expected the kid to start a fight so quickly; normally, they would have argued first. But when a real fight broke out, they started taking sides.

"Hey, hit him! Kill him!"

"Hit him!" "Ouch, you stepped on me."

"I'll fight!"

The children were in complete chaos. Except for Zhao Jing, whose high status made him untouchable, who watched helplessly from the sidelines.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting." Mu Tou was too big to fight back, so he could only pretend to break up the fight while secretly watching to see if Chen Xuanyu was being hurt, and then suddenly kick him in.

After being hit, Cao Fang panicked and, taking advantage of his height, grabbed Chen Xuanyu's hair with his other hand.

Xiao Hao grabbed his hand in a panic, while another child next to him grabbed Xiao Hao's shirt from behind.

The guards were caught off guard and didn't expect anyone to fight in this situation. They were caught off guard and tried to pull them apart, but it was too late; they were already locked in a fierce brawl.

The noise was a bit loud, and the adults came running when they smelled it. The guards quickly pulled the children away and tried to separate them.

"Oh, my son!~~" The distant, mournful cries stood out among the group of noblewomen who were walking by.

Upon closer inspection, Mu Tou recognized Li Shi.

Li, dressed in a green silk dress, her beautiful face streaked with tears, rushed over, wailing and crying as if someone in her family had died.

Seeing the nobles coming out of the mansion, the guards, fearing reprimand, quickly separated the children before the people arrived.

Chen Xuanyu was unwilling to give up. Even though Wang Feng was pulling him, he still stretched out his leg and kicked Cao Fang a few times, which was witnessed by Li Shi who arrived at the scene.

"Oh dear, whose child are you? How can you be so rude? Didn't your parents teach you not to fight? Believe me or not, we'll have you beaten with a board!" Li Shi grabbed him and started scolding him harshly.

"Who are you? What's it to you?" Chen Xuanyu was momentarily speechless as he was pulled along.

They don't even recognize her? How dare they hit a child they don't know? Li was even angrier.

Chu Yi looked extremely unwell in the crowd. He slowly walked over, and there really were no adults in his family.

"What nonsense are you talking about? At your age, you shouldn't have any manners. You might bring bad luck to your children." The girl was furious and immediately retorted.

"You, you, you, and you too!" Li's face turned red and then pale as she pointed at the group of people, so angry that she felt like she was about to be reborn.

"They really don't know what's good for them. Someone, take it away for me. I'll teach them a lesson on behalf of their parents." As he spoke, the servants of the Cao family looked over.

Li glanced back at Duke Cao at the back of the crowd, her eyes occasionally glancing at the Princess. She was displeased, but seeing that he hadn't sent anyone to stop her, she felt a little more confident. After all, today was a big day for the Princess's residence, and as long as things didn't get too ugly, everything should be fine.

"Who dares?" Mu Tou spoke up, blocking Chen Xuanyu's path. He had seen Zhao Yirong's personal maid, Ruyi, emerge, along with Linglong, the maid assigned to her by the Princess.

“Why are you blocking the way, child? He has no manners. When he grows up, he might even commit murder and arson. I’m doing this for his own good.” Li Shi knew that he was the eldest grandson she had found. She looked at the red marks on Cao Fang’s face with even more heartache and gently dabbed them with her handkerchief.

Cao Fang immediately grimaced and inhaled sharply.

“He’s just a child. It’s normal for children to fight and make a fuss. Why did you scold him, Madam?” Mu Tou spoke eloquently and clearly, his words as clear as jade, which was quite remarkable.

A barely perceptible hint of jealousy flashed in Li's eyes. Knowing full well that this child was not someone to be trifled with, she deliberately lowered her tone and said, "Even if he is a child, you shouldn't hit people so easily. Look at his face, it's all disfigured."

After saying this, she pushed Cao Fang in front of everyone and began to cry softly, looking quite pitiful. After all, it's understandable for someone of her age to act pitiful, and someone couldn't stand it anymore. It was Lady Lu, the eldest wife of the Marquis of Yiyong, who was on good terms with Lady Li.

Lady Lu was dressed in a blue-indigo silk robe, adorned with gold and silver ornaments. She had willow-leaf eyebrows and slanted eyes, and loved flattery. Lady Li was adept at flattering her, so they were considered close.

Madam Lu didn't recognize Mu Tou and wondered which family he was from, a concubine. When she saw someone bullying Madam Li, she immediately retorted.

"And where did you come from, child? How dare you speak to your elders like that? Didn't your elders teach you that?"

Seeing Cao Jun and his wife rushing over from a distance, Mu Tou immediately bowed and feigned pitifulness, saying, "I really have never been taught by anyone, please don't take offense, madam."

"Pah! And who are you, you wicked woman, saying my son is ill-mannered?" Madam Shen quickly stood next to Mu Tou, glaring at Madam Lu. Cao Jun was so anxious that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.

After her son returned, Shen seemed to have flipped a switch. She woke up and went to find Mutou. After confirming that her son was back, she ate heartily, had people dress her up, and returned in a completely new state. She also asked Cao Jun to return the keys to the family's money and storeroom. She also had someone keep an eye on Mutou. Wherever Mutou went, she followed. If it weren't for the many noble ladies she knew coming over to chat, it wouldn't have taken so long.

Lady Lu had never seen such a foul-mouthed woman before. Her face turned ashen, like a pig's liver. She couldn't understand how this woman, who was dressed as an official's wife, could utter such vile words.

"You, you, you... who are you calling a wicked woman? Really! Guards, slap her!" Seeing her white hair, Madam Lu was both angry and anxious, and was about to hit her without thinking.

"You dare!" At the crucial moment, Cao Jun stood in front of her.

"Stop!" Linglong Ruyi led a group of old women and servants over, their faces pale.

"The Princess Consort has sent a message!" Everyone bowed in unison.

“You are all wives of officials, and you should have the demeanor of a mistress. It’s just children playing around. Don’t let things escalate and disrupt the princess’s wedding.” Linglong’s pretty face was frosty as she coldly rebuked the group.

"Rui-ge'er, come with me to take your seat." Linglong turned around and said softly to Mu Tou with a smile, then nodded to Madam Shen beside her, "Madam, please join us."

Ms. Shen nodded obediently.

Now Lu Shi understood everything. This blockhead was probably the legendary grandson of the Eldest Princess.

She glared at Li Shi with resentment, wondering why this woman hadn't told her beforehand.

Li looked at her apologetically, as if she had just realized something.

"Fool..." Madam Lu rolled her eyes at her disdainfully.
