Ji Youyuanâs hand touched her belly, just about to speak, when Wang Dongxue let out a muffled groan.
"Whatâs the matter?" Ji Youyuan asked anxiously.
"Itâs nothing, just someone kicked me a bit."
"Come sit down, let me take a look!"
Ji Youyuan supported her, quickly leading her to the bed.
Seeing his overly worried expression, Wang Dongxue couldnât help but laugh.
"Donât worry, Iâve gotten used to it these days, they stop after a while."
Wang Dongxueâs words inevitably had a comforting effect.
Ji Youyuan helped Wang Dongxue sit on the bed, put a big pillow behind her back, then pressed his ear against her belly, acting as though he was listening.
Wang Dongxue couldnât hold back her laughter seeing his demeanor.
Her face was filled with unrestrained joy and happiness.
"You two need to behave! While youâre in your momâs belly, itâs best to be good and not fight. Stay calm until itâs time to come out, otherwise your sister said, if youâre naughty in momâs belly, sheâll spank your little butts when youâre born!"
"Pfff," Wang Dongxue couldnât help but laugh.
"Husband, theyâre still fetuses, just the size of two palms, they canât understand at all."
Ji Youyuan argued, "I think they can understand."
Wang Dongxue laughed and said, "Even if they understand, it doesnât mean theyâll follow!
Even adults sometimes ignore what their parents say, let alone fetuses the size of two palms!"
Ji Youyuan: "..." That argument makes so much sense!
Xiaosuisui, who loves baths, got dressed quickly and couldnât wait for Yunxiang and Yunduo to do her hair, she ran over to find her aunt.
"Aunt, Iâm ready, Iâm here..." Eh...
The little girl blinked, watching her uncle quickly rise from her auntâs belly.
His handsome face was blushing bright red.
"Uncle, why is your face so red?
Is the room too hot? Or are you sick?"
The little girl ran over and was about to climb on the bed, pretending to take her uncleâs pulse.
Ji Youyuan quickly withdrew his hand, hiding it behind his back.
"I... I think itâs hot in here, I... I better go for a walk!"
Wang Dongxue covered her face with a handkerchief, feeling utterly embarrassed!
"Aunt, was uncle lying on your belly listening to the little brother and sister talk?"
The little girl said as she climbed onto the bed, lowering her head, pretending she was about to lie on Wang Dongxueâs belly.
Seeing this, Yunxiang and Yunduo were frightened and quickly exclaimed, "Oh my little ancestor, be careful, donât bump the madamâs belly!"
Xiaosuisui giggled, ignoring them, and copied Ji Youyuanâs actions, slowly leaning her small ear against Wang Dongxueâs belly.
Yunxiang and Yunduo got even more scared and approached, intending to take Xiaosuisui away, but Wang Dongxue quickly gestured them away and took the handkerchief from their hands, saying, "You guys go guard outside and donât let anyone in."
Yunxiang and Yunduo were still worried that Xiaosuisui would cause some trouble since this little master of theirs was notorious for creating havoc.
"Just go! She wonât be any trouble here, and the food on the table outside is probably cold, have them clear it and prepare some dishes that the princess favors!"
The dishes on the table outside were all Ji Youyuanâs favorites, they hadnât expected Xiaosuisui would stay right after arriving, thinking sheâd be doted on in the old madamâs courtyard.
Didnât expect Princess Lianchun showed up, and husband just went with the flow, bringing the little girl over.
"Aunt, little brother and sister havenât moved!"
Wang Dongxue laughed and said, "They were moving a lot earlier, maybe theyâre tired and taking a rest."
While helping her dry her hair, Wang Dongxue said.
Xiaosuisui nodded, not saying much, allowing Wang Dongxue to dry her hair clean and style it into two bun hairstyles with the pearl hairpins bestowed by the Empress Dowager.
Then she asked, "Hungry? Letâs go eat! Aunt had your favorite dishes made!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaosuisui immediately asked, "Is there roasted duck made by Chef Zhou?"
Wang Dongxue: "..."
No roasted duck was planned as they didnât know when the little girl and her family would return, so no prior arrangements were made!
"Precious, how about we have roasted duck tomorrow?
Chef Zhou from Luming Academy needs to be booked in advance for making roasted duck, we didnât know youâd arrive today!"
The little girl pouted and could only say, "Okay!"
Wang Dongxue took her to the dining table, and Ji Youyuan joined after washing up to eat.
Noticing that the table was filled with food that Suisui loved, Ji Youyuan looked at Wang Dongxue with grievance.
Wang Dongxue pretended not to see, quickly picking up a piece of blood sausage for Xiaosuisui.
"Remember when you were in Ling Village, just for a bite of pig blood sausage, you grabbed a butcherâs knife and butchered a wild boar into pieces with Zhou Yanchen."
Thinking of that day when the little girl returned covered in pig blood scared her so much, if not for Zhu Xiuxiu explaining what happened, she wouldnât dare to imagine what occurred!
"Hee hee hee! Wild boar blood sausage is so tasty."
Meaning this blood sausage isnât as good!
"This is the Capital City, wild boars are hard to come by, you canât get wild boar blood sausage, just make do with what you have!"
Xiaosuisui nodded, agreeing.
A young maid came to report from outside.
"Madam, Young Master, Princess, Nanny Xiao has arrived with gifts from the Empress Dowager, and Miss Xie is with her, the old madam invites you over."
