Arrogant and domineering because of his good looks: His Majesty always pretends to be righteous

The mother and daughter lay on the bed chatting casually, looking more like sisters.

"Mother, does your great-uncle have any sisters or anything like that?" Xia Rongliu suddenly asked. Lin Yue was stunned. "Wang Runfa? I don't know. I've been here for so long and I've never heard of him having any sisters or anything like that. What's wrong?"

“Nothing… it’s just…” Xia Rongliu organized her thoughts, she still trusted her mother. “It was that day when I came back from flying a kite, I was sitting in front of the door, and I saw my great-uncle on the path next to me, and there was a woman in a pink dress on the path.”

“I can’t see her face clearly, so I’m not sure if it’s my great-aunt, but she’s not that thin. Today I asked her if she had any pink dresses, and she only said they were her daughters.”

Lin Yue frowned upon hearing this. "Your great-uncle is so afraid of your great-aunt, there shouldn't be anything wrong with that. Just don't tell anyone else about this." If others find out, they'll all gossip about you to death.

Xia Rongliu nodded. Lin Yue thought for a long time and decided to let it go. There might be some misunderstanding, and getting involved might not necessarily cause any problems. She patted Xia Rongliu's back and said, "Go to sleep."

Several days passed peacefully, but Old Lady Xia's face grew more and more haggard each day. Xia Rongliu figured that as long as her father didn't come back, Old Lady Xia's face would grow more and more haggard.

Gradually, Xia Rongliu also felt increasingly bored. The flowers were not necessarily going to bloom, and she was too lazy to go to sleep. Her mother also had her own things to do. She rolled her eyes and thought of teasing her mother.

Xia Rongliu leaned against Old Lady Xia's window. Old Lady Xia had eaten and drunk her fill and was sleeping. Xia Rongliu looked at Old Lady Xia snoring and chuckled to herself, holding the chicken feathers she had found in the egg carton in her hand.

Xia Rongliu reached her hand through the window and gradually moved it closer to Old Lady Xia's nose. Xia Rongliu brushed her hand across Old Lady Xia's nose, making her feel a little itchy, and she turned her head to one side.

Seeing this, Xia Rongliu stopped looking out the window to avoid having to tiptoe, and went into the inner room. She lay down by her mother's bed and continued to sweep with a chicken feather.

Old Mrs. Xia couldn't help but sneeze and wake herself up. "What is that? What did you sweep up?" Old Mrs. Xia muttered as she sat up, and then she saw Xia Rongliu lying by her bedside.

Grandma Xia jumped up in surprise, "What are you doing? Aren't you going to take a nap? Children won't grow tall if they don't take a nap!" Grandma Xia threatened Xia Rongliu.

Xia Rongliu laughed loudly, "Grandma, did you use this trick to fool my dad before? I won't fall for it, Grandma, get up quickly." After saying that, she tried to pull her mother up.

Old Lady Xia felt a slight itch on her hand. Looking over, she saw a chicken feather on Xia Rongliu's hand. How could she not understand what was going on? Her face darkened. "No, no, you're using chicken feathers to sweep me! How can this be allowed?"

Xia Rongliu paused, then hid the chicken feather behind her back and pleaded, "What chicken feather? I don't know! Grandma, please get up, please, please..."

Old Lady Xia was thoroughly tormented by the sound; it was like a demonic noise piercing her ears. Impatiently, she snapped, "Get up! Get up! Why are you getting up? Can't you let me get some sleep?!"

"Grandma~ will you come with me to the market~~" Xia Rongliu said coquettishly, her eyes shining as she looked at her mother.

Old Mrs. Xia couldn't stand being stared at, so she waved her hand and said, "Go find your mother, why are you looking for an old woman like me? I want to sleep." After saying that, she made a move to pull the blanket up and continue sleeping.

Xia Rongliu tugged at her mother's blanket, "Oh dear~ Mother has something to do, I'm so bored, Grandma, come with me, please." Seeing that her mother didn't move, Xia Rongliu said angrily, "Grandma, why do you only know how to sleep, just like Juejue?"

Old Lady Xia remained completely still.

Xia Rongliu closed her eyes and had no choice but to use her trump card: "Then I can only take Juejue to the market by myself, and sell Juejue to see if I can get some candied hawthorns."

Xia Rongliu silently prayed in her heart: "Juejue, I'm sorry, I was just saying it. I was using threats and inducements." Upon hearing that Juejue was to be sold, Old Lady Xia sat up abruptly.

"No way, don't you like that cat? How can you just sell it like that?"

Xia Rongliu pretended to be nonchalant and said, "So what if I like it? Grandma doesn't allow me to keep it, and besides, I want to eat candied hawthorns."

Old Lady Xia thought Xia Rongliu was serious, so she stomped her foot and said anxiously, "Don't you like it? No, you can't sell it." Seeing Xia Rongliu's glare, she gritted her teeth and said, "Go, go, I'll go with you."

So the grandmother and grandson went to the market together, and since they couldn't leave the cat at home, they brought it along.

market,

Grandma Xia said to Xia Rongliu, "Candied hawthorns, right? I'll buy some for you. Eat them and then hurry back." She pulled Xia Rongliu towards the vendor's stall. But Xia Rongliu stopped her and shook her head.

"But I don't want to eat candied hawthorns anymore. I've already had some at my uncle's place."

"What do you want to eat? There are so many options." Old Mrs. Xia said impatiently, "Don't get lost later, or your parents will blame me."

Xia Rongliu smiled and said, "I won't run around. I want to eat Fu Ji's chestnut cake, mung bean cake, and jujube cake..." Fu Ji's pastries are the most expensive here, but they are still within Xia's mother's budget.

Old Lady Xia had heard about it before, and she refused, saying, "I won't buy it, you choose something else."

"No, no! I heard other kids say I really crave it. I want to eat it. If you don't buy it for me, I'll buy Juejue and go buy it myself!"

Juejue: !! ? ? What's going on? I'm just a little lazy, why do they want to buy me?!

As if she could understand, Juejue snuggled into her arms reluctantly. Seeing that Juejue was just a few pastries, Xia Laoniang finally gave in. It was just a few pastries, and she could afford them.

After buying the pastries, Grandma Xia insisted on going back, afraid that Xia Rongliu might get lost. She also bought Juejue along the way, and Xia Rongliu readily agreed after receiving the pastries.

Once they got home, Xia Rongliu opened the pastries and started eating. "Grandma, have some! Their pastries are so delicious!" She had bought four bags of pastries, all of different flavors.

The aroma was irresistible, and Grandma Xia couldn't resist taking one and putting it in her mouth. It was indeed delicious.

Lin Yue returned and was bewildered by the pastries on the table. Could it be that Aunt Wang had sent something over again, and it was Fu Ji's pastries again? She called out, "Yin Yin? Mother?"

"Hey—" Xia Rongliu agreed quickly and came out with her mother.

"Where did these pastries come from?" Based on Lin Yue's observation, Old Madam Xia would never buy pastries. It must have been pastries from Fu Ji when Xia Zhishu wasn't around. She had also heard that Fu Ji's pastries were the most expensive in this market.

Xia Rongliu grinned and leaned close to Lin Yue, saying, "Grandma bought it!"

Lin Yue was somewhat incredulous. She looked at Old Madam Xia, coughed, and simply said, "Eat," which was considered her tacit agreement. Xia Rongliu still had honey sauce on her hands to dip the food in.

Lin Yue ate a few pieces without really understanding what was going on, and they were actually quite delicious.
