C56 (1/2)

Liu Qi slowly stood up and walked to the side of the Countess and Martial Aunt Wangfei.

Liu Qi's eyes flickered with tears and were filled with envy as she looked at the Princess Consort and Madam Zuo who were not mother and daughter but were instead more like mother and daughter. Liu Qi already couldn't remember what it felt like to be his mother.

In her memory, every time her father drank and beat her, her mother would rush up to her and block her father's punches and kicks.

Perhaps mother had a very sweet and happy feeling. She worked hard for her children and worried about them, just like how Madame Left Prime Minister treated her uncle master?

”Liu Qi?” Madam Zuo looked at Liu Qi beside her and slowly said, ”Is my son doing well at the Prince's Mansion?” It was an ingenious question. Madam Zuo didn't directly ask the prince if he treated her daughter well, but the meaning behind her words was like that. If her daughter wasn't used to it, she could ask, ”Is my son used to living in the Prince's Mansion?” The meaning behind those words were that Madam Zuo had a good grasp over it.

Qi Wan was startled, then she frowned, slightly worried. She was afraid that Liu Qi's thoughts were pure, and that she wouldn't be able to understand the mystery behind her mother's words? Or perhaps it was Liu Qi giving her mother a careless look, letting her mother see some clues.

Liu Qi was stunned by the madame's question. She hadn't read much, but she had stayed in the Prince's Mansion for many years. She could hear the meaning behind her words. But she had to be more careful when she spoke …

Liu Qi blinked, and looked at Madame Left Premier with a smile. ”Madame.” You are overthinking it. Princess Hua-Yang and Prince Hua-Yang were as sweet as lacquer. I wonder how many other people have been envious of him? ”

”Oh? ”Really?” If the county governor had said that she was doing very well, she would have thought that he was afraid of her being worried, which was why he said that. However, from this little girl's mouth, she basically believed him. Looking at her innocent eyes, it didn't seem like she was lying?

Qi Ling looked at Liu Qi's innocent appearance and thought of what she had said. She sighed in her heart. ”Looks like I have still underestimated this little girl?” She really didn't expect that not only did she hear the hidden meaning behind her mother's words, she also did her a great favor.

”Of course it's true. ”Do I look like a liar to you?” As Liu Qi said this, she brought her delicate, white, and small face closer to Liu Qi, showing a look like she was trying to get a good look at the Madame Minister of the Left.

Madam Zuo was amused by Liu Qi's expression, ”You're really clever.” I believe in you. ”

Seeing that her mother's face had now become a bit more peaceful, Qi Wanxian's worried heart finally relaxed. It seemed that she had worried too much. However, in his heart, Qi Wan County had a whole new level of respect for Liu Qi, and it seemed that letting her senior sister take her as a disciple was the right decision.

”Thank you, madame.” Liu Qi had an innocent smile on his face.

In the evening, the last rays of the setting sun faded away and hid in the darkness.

After dinner, they stood outside the gates of the prince's mansion.

Qi Tong walked in front of the carriage while supporting his mother. He pouted his lips and pulled at his small face as he reluctantly asked, ”Mother, why didn't you stay for the night?”

The Left Premier's wife patted Qi Shu County's arm and slowly said, ”I'm worried about your father alone, right?”

”Don't we still have maids?” Qi Dian pretended to be angry as he said.

”Why would a servant be kind to her mother?” Forget it, let's end it here. The weather has turned autumn, and the night has turned cold. As the Left Premier's wife spoke, she let go of Qi Wan County, which was supporting her, and was helped up the carriage by the butler.

Seeing Madame Left Premier lift up the curtains, Yu Lingjing said lightly, ”Please take care, mother-in-law.” He turned to the butler and sternly said: ”Butler.” You must bring Madam An Ran back to her residence. ”

”Yes.” ”My lord.”

Seeing that her mother was getting further and further away from the carriage, a drop of tears of disappointment fell from Qi Wanjun's eyes. It was as if her mother was getting further and further away from her. Yu Ling Jing slowly looked at Qi Shu County, with a face full of heartache, he pulled her into his embrace.

”How many days do you want to stay in the House of Zuo? This King will have the steward send you back tomorrow. ” He didn't know what to say at the moment to comfort this pitiful beauty in front of him.

Qi Dian's watery eyes glanced at this man who had a powerful appearance but was not very adept at comforting women. From his cold eyes, she saw his fear and helplessness. A sudden urge to drink?

”Can Your Highness agree to one of my requests?” Qi Wanxian stared at Yu Ling Jing in a daze.

From the eyes of Qi Wanxian, Yu Ling Jing saw an urge to get an answer. Anyway, this situation was a bit of a wine to warm up his feelings. Yu Ling Jing didn't say anything and just nodded.

In the inner hall, in front of the dim oil lamp, Qi Wanshi took up the white jade wine cup and slowly poured a cup full of strong and fragrant wine for Yu Lingjing. He placed it in front of Yu Lingjing and didn't even glance at the wine that Qi Wanli handed over.
