Volume 1 Chapter 30

  Shui heard Xia Ting's words and her face looked a bit dull. When did her daughter get to know the quiet king, why didn't she know?

  Shui Shi hastily asked for clarification, and Xia Ting could only explain, "Last time I went out to fetch medicine for you, I happened to meet her at the wine house. Don't worry about this matter, daughter has her own way, she will not go to that Jing Wang Fu to be someone's concubine."

  Shui's family slightly let out a breath and put down their guard, then said "Are you really capable? Don't deceive me."

  "It's all right, daughter really has a way, mother can rest assured." Xia Tingci repeatedly assured Shui Shi.

  Fu again coaxed her to lie down and rest, after experiencing the blow of today, Shui felt physically and mentally exhausted. Under his daughter's gentle coaxing, he fell asleep as soon as he rested his head on the pillow.

  Xia Zi Yun stood beside, looking at Xia Ting with red eyes, and said in a nasal tone, "Sister, do you really have a way, or are you deceiving Cloud?" He remembered what his mother said when she was crying, that his sister was going to be someone else's concubine. Moreover, the other person's body was not good, and he was afraid that he would not live long, and at that time, his sister would have to guard her widowhood. Thinking of this, he felt extremely sad, and wanted to cry like his mother.

  Xia Ting looked at her brother Yun's pitiful appearance, on the verge of tears, and could only hug him gently to comfort him. "Silly cloud child, sister has a way to deal with this. You don't have to worry, this matter will be resolved in a few days."

  It wasn't easy to finally comfort her brother, Xia Ting brought Wan Yu back to the room with a cold face.

  After entering the house, Wan Yu couldn't help but ask, "Miss, what should we do now? Are you really going to become a concubine at the Jing Wang Fu?"

  "Be a concubine? How is that possible, the word 'concubine' has never been in my dictionary. Order people to closely monitor and gather information about Prince Jing's affairs at Warm Smoke Building. Also, I remember last time when Princess Jing went to Mei Ren Tang to buy rouge, it was Hong Yin who served her. Tell someone to inform her to think of a way to get information from the maidservant beside Princess Jing."

  "The slave will go and handle it now." Wan Yu bowed slightly before hastily walking out.

  Xia Ting sat alone on the bed, her eyes dim and unclear.

  Ever since they entered the mansion, she had been acting strangely. Given Li's temperament, it was surprising that she hadn't made things difficult for them at all. It turned out that she had such intentions in mind.

  Fortunately, this time the target was Jing Wang Shizi, the man who had coincidentally met her at 'Drunken Fragrance Pavilion' and saved her.

  As soon as she thought it was him, she slightly put her mind at ease. Although they had only met once, strictly speaking, she didn't understand him, but based on her observation and feeling at the time, she could also guess that he wasn't that kind of troublesome and unreasonable person.

  On the contrary, although he seems somewhat indifferent and doesn't like to get close to people, she has a kind of intuition that he won't make things difficult for others. At least, he shouldn't make things difficult for her.

  Moreover, she had also taken his pulse and prescribed a prescription for him that day. If he took those medicines at fixed times every day, it should have been discovered by now that his body was slowly recovering.

  With just these two points, she wants to make the other party cancel this matter, it won't be difficult. Now only need to let people know his whereabouts, find a chance to talk to him and that's it.

  As for that Li person, Xia Ting's eyes would turn icy cold at the mere thought of her. She was absolutely not going to let this person off, and since they dared to scheme against her, they should be prepared to pay the price.

  Walking through the exquisitely carved corridor, Baili Rongyin returned to Qinglang Garden after handling official business in the study. As soon as she pushed open her own door, she found that the air was filled with a sweet and greasy fragrance that felt very familiar.

  Bai Li Rong Jin was taken aback for a moment, this sweet fragrance was the honey she had given him.

  Qing Yu, who was standing behind him, also smelled the fragrance emanating from the house and his expression changed slightly. This was the jar of honey that the young master took every day.

  Baili Rongjin stepped into the house and saw that on the table where the honey jar was placed, there were two round little heads leaning against each other. Plump little hands each held a spoon, taking turns scooping honey from the jar into their mouths, eating with great relish.

  Qing Yu was shocked and turned pale "Third Young Master, Fourth Young Master."

  Upon hearing Qing Yu's call, the two chubby little balls lifted their heads and saw that Bai Li Rong Jin had returned. They immediately beamed with joy and ran to his front, their two identical round faces looking up at him as they chimed in unison, "Big brother, you're back."

  Baili Rongjin's expression softened, and he reached out to pat their heads, nodding in response.

  They were his younger twin brothers, the elder was called Baili Rongqi and the younger was called Baili Rongchen. The two little guys looked exactly alike and were a pair of eight-year-old twins this year.

  Baili Rongchen held up the honey jar, his eyes shining brightly as he said "Big brother, this honey is so sweet and delicious!"

  Baili Rongqi also nodded vigorously and grabbed Baili Rongjin's sleeve "Qí'ér likes it too."

  Baili Rongjin glanced at the honey jar, where there was hardly any honey left inside. He suspected that more than half of it had already gone into his two younger brothers' stomachs.

  Qing Yu looked at the almost empty honey jar and anxiously said, "Young Master, this...". The Young Master's illness had only just shown signs of improvement, but now all the honey was gone. What to do?

  Baili Rongjin looked at the two chubby brothers who were like little balls of meat and shook her head, saying "It doesn't matter, just go find some other honey." The younger brothers were still young and loved to eat. This couldn't be blamed on them.

  Qing Yu furrowed his brow and said, "But that honey looks completely different from the ones we usually eat. What if it's useless?" The honey given by Xiaojie was a crystal clear amber color and had a very strong floral fragrance. Who knows if it's specially brewed or not.

  "Try it for a few days and you'll know. Go down." Baili Rongjin waved his hand, clearly not wanting to hear Qingyu say more.

  Baili Rongqi looked at the departing figure of Qing Yu and asked in a somewhat fearful tone, "Big brother, did I eat something I shouldn't have?" Looking at his big brother's guard who seemed to be treasuring that jar of honey, he wondered if he and his little brother had unintentionally done something wrong.

  Baili Rongchen also opened a pair of shiny black eyes with a slightly worried look.

  Baili Rongjin looked at them warmly and smiled lightly, "Nothing, just a jar of honey. Big brother has already sent someone to fetch it again. What brings you two here today?" He skillfully diverted the attention of his two younger brothers.

  Baili Rongqi suddenly remembered that he wanted to find his older brother today, so he leaned on Baili Rongjin's leg and asked, "Older brother, mother said you're going to marry older sister-in-law soon. Will older sister-in-law dislike us?" He and his younger brother were both quite chubby, and people would often laugh at them behind their backs. Second aunt didn't seem to like them either.

  Baili Rongchen also had a worried face, hearing his mother say that his older brother would soon be marrying his sister-in-law. He and his brothers were all worried that their sister-in-law wouldn't like them, so he came over to ask his brother about it.

  Baili Rongjin was taken aback, looking at her two younger brothers' worried eyes, and suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

  He stretched out his hand and pulled them into his arms, saying "Don't worry, your elder sister will like you very much, and she'll dote on you just like an older brother."

  "Really?" The two little guys' eyes lit up at the same time, and they smiled with their chubby mouths.

  "Of course, big brother wouldn't deceive you. There's a new restaurant that just opened in Kyoto, I've heard the dishes are quite good. How about big brother brings some back for you all tomorrow after court?"

  "Great! Great!" The two little fatties immediately cheered and clapped their hands as soon as they heard there was something delicious.

  Looking at the two younger brothers' innocent and mischievous smiles, Bai Li Rong Jin couldn't help but feel a little moved by their words just now.

  If it were her, she would definitely care for these two younger brothers just like him. For some reason, he had such a conviction in his heart.
