"Hmm, Xiaxia, I understand. Iâll listen to you."
After being filled with a pot of self-help advice by Yang Chuxia, Commandery Princess Dongyangâs spirits were revived once again.
Chengcheng was brought in again at this moment and immediately tugged on Yang Chuxiaâs sleeve, "Auntie, I want to go find Brother Yangyang."
"Then wait until Auntie goes back in the afternoon, you can go with Auntie."
"Alright, alright!" Chengcheng nodded repeatedly and even pulled Su Ma to pack his clothes, evidently wanting to stay at Yang Chuxiaâs home for a few more days.
"Letting him go to your place is good." Dongyang said, "Thereâs no child to play with him at home, heâs too lonely. He doesnât want to bother with the children from the second branch either."
"In that case, you should have more children with Mu Shaoling." Yang Chuxia laughed, "After all, the Mu Family has great wealth, they can afford it."
Yang Chuxia thought to herself, whether itâs ancient times or modern times, wealthy families are indeed better. You can have as many children as you want without ever worrying about being unable to afford them.
"You are better off!" Talking about this made Commandery Princess Dongyang envious, "You gave birth twice and have four children, while others have to give birth four times."
"Pure luck." Regarding this, Yang Chuxia could only explain it this way because, in Yang Family, Ye Family, or Luo Family, there were no other twins born. If itâs not due to genetics, then it must truly be luck.
"Your luck is just too good, so many people envy you."
In the Capital City for all these years, Dongyang understood clearly that in these high-status families, having children is the best means to stabilize oneâs footing, especially having boys; the more boys you have, the more stable your status becomes.
"You shouldnât envy me, youâre not bad yourself."
After chatting with Dongyang for a while, someone reported the arrival of Muâs Second Madam.
Yang Chuxia noticed that from when the person came to report to her entering, the timing was surprisingly equal.
Sure enough, in Mu Family, this Second Madam had firmly placed Commandery Princess Dongyang as a member of the younger generation.
"Oh! Isnât this Madam Ye?"
"Second Madam Mu!" Yang Chuxia slightly turned her body.
"Madam Ye, have you come today to take someone?"
Before the greetings were even finished, the visitor couldnât wait to send Ming Liu off, making Yang Chuxia suspicious that she wanted to do something bad.
Pretending not to understand what she was saying, Yang Chuxia replied, "Yes, Iâve come to take someone. Dongyang said Chengcheng is too lonely at home by himself, so Iâm taking him to Prince Anâs Mansion for a few days. My kids at home all like him and love to play with him."
Second Madam Muâs heart chilled; she knew very well she was referring to that lowly girl, but Yang Chuxia answered saying she was taking Chengcheng.
"Haha, so youâre actually taking Chengcheng." Second Madam Mu feigned embarrassment by covering her mouth, then said, "I thought Madam Ye came to take Ming Liu. After all, sheâs been in our Mu Residence for quite some days. Originally, I thought Madam Ye had given her to Dongyang. Yesterday, I bumped into her and asked her a couple of questions and found out it wasnât the case."
Yang Chuxia, hearing this, only replied, "Her? No rush, Iâve heard Dongyang still has many embroidery tasks unfinished." Yang Chuxia took the tea passed by Su Ma, sipped it, and said, "That girl is the best at embroidery in our household. The clothes she embroiders, the buttons she crafts, are various and suitable for children to wear. Dongyang said she borrowed her to embroider some clothes for the kid."
"Yes, Chengchengâs has been done quite a bit, only the Secondâs have just started." Dongyang added, "Second Aunt, didnât I mention this to you before?"
"Did you mention it?" Second Madam Mu pretending a little, "Canât compare with young people, my memory is poor."
