无翼乌工口里番无色无摭挡

Lin Zizi reluctantly laughed and said, “Though that’s true, I can’t stand to see her suffer like this.”

Madam sighed, “Yeah, children are a mother’s heart and soul. Seventh Miss is so delicate that an ordinary scrape pains us. How could we be indifferent to her undergoing such torment?”

“Alright, it’s not a big deal,”

Jiang Mubai said in a loud voice as he patted Jiang Ning’s head. “What’s this little thing for Jiang family’s children? If you want the Prince of Yu to become the Crown Prince, let him.”

“Brother…” Lin Zizi shook her head.

Madam said, “Old Master, don’t say these things to the child. Let her recover well, she need not worry about anything. After all, it’s only one hundred days to heal the bones, just three months. By that time, she’ll be fine. Seventh Miss, rest assured, we’re all here for you.”

She turned to Lin Zizi and said, “You’ve never been in good health, and with two children at your place, can you manage? Why not bring them to my place?”

Lin Zizi said, “No need, Ms. Liu and Ms. Bai are helping me at home.”

“Well, Ms. Liu has always been a force to be reckoned with. I shouldn’t be saying too much about your side’s affairs, but now that you’re better, stand on your own. Don’t let the insolent take control, it’s disheartening.”

“Yes, I will remember,” Lin Zizi said gently.

“If anything happens, just let me know. No matter what happens outside, we’re family when we come home. Don’t be polite with me.”

“Thank you, brother and sister-in-law.”

“Well, as we said, let’s not talk about these things as a family,” Madam held Lin Zizi’s hand. “Let Seventh Miss rest well. I’ll go with you to see the little Crown Prince and the little Princess.”

After reminding Jiang Ning a few more times, the two sisters-in-law left together.

Jiang Mubai and Jiang Ruobai, the two brothers, were about to leave, but Jiang Ning called them to stay.

“Uncle, are you going to the palace now?” She asked.

“Yes. I haven’t seen His Majesty since I came back.”

“Can you help me inquire about the Prince of Yu’s situation?”

Jiang Ruobai said with jealousy, “You don’t ask your own father for such trivial matters, but ask for the help of outsiders.”

Jiang Mubai laughed and said, “Did you hear that? Your father said I was an outsider.”

“Are you saying you’re the father?”

“I am Jiang Seventh Daughter’s father, do you have a problem? Isn’t Uncle also a father?” Jiang Mubai, although his name was scholarly, was a real military commander, and his speech was somewhat crude.

Jiang Ning chuckled.

Jiang Mubai said, “Seventh Miss, don’t worry, not only will your father find out everything for you, but also get the Prince of Yu out. You just wait for him to come to see you.”

Jiang Ning immediately smiled obediently and said, “Thank you, father!”

Jiang Ruobai:

He felt like he had been taken advantage of…

Little did Jiang Ning know, she said to Jiang Mubai, “Grandfather, I want to ask you for someone.”

“Say it,” Jiang Mubai was delighted as he glanced at his brother who was beaming at his title of ‘father.’

Jiang Ning said, “I want Gucheng.”

“Why do you want him?”

“I’d like him to follow me and protect me,” Jiang Ning said. “The only useful person by my side is Xiaoman, given by my father. She’s loyal and strong, but not vigilant enough.”

In simple terms, she’s not smart enough.

Jiang Ruobai coughed awkwardly.

Jiang Mubai glared at him, “Don’t you have anyone useful to give her? You had to give her a foolish girl.”

“If I had known these things would happen, how could I not give her someone?” Jiang Ruobai retorted irritably. “I gave her Xiaoman because she’s a young girl, more convenient for personal attendance..”
