On the street, the pedestrians looked at Princess Xuehua in shock.” What’s going on? Did this woman fly out from the Su family?”
“Oh my G.o.d, what kind of torture did she endure? How could she be missing her clothes?” The women in the crowd could not bear to look and quickly covered their eyes in embarra.s.sment.
“Hehe, her figure is not bad..” The men in the crowd were shameless, and their unbridled gazes kept wandering over Princess Xuehua’s body.
It wasn’t until Princess Xuehua’s coachman outside the gate noticed her and frantically covered her body with a cloak from the carriage that the onlookers were startled back to reality. He then roared at the crowd, “Don’t you want your eyes anymore? How dare you look at the Princess? Be careful of the Empress Dowager’s decree and dig out the eyes of all of you!”
The crowds were shocked at the coachman’s words. Their gazes, which were originally fixed on Princess Xuehua, suddenly changed. They widened their eyes in disbelief, unable to believe their ears.
What did the attendant say? This woman is the Princess?
There weren’t many princesses in the royal family. The only one in the imperial capital was Princess Xuehua, who was by the side of Empress Dowager!
Instantly, the gazes of the pa.s.sersby became full of interest as they watched Cui’er wail like a ghost and howl like a wolf as she rushed out of the door. They glanced fearfully at Xiao Yan, who had already entered the Su family’s residence. The words of complaint that they were about to utter got stuck in their throats. No one dared to say a word of nonsense. They frantically pounced on Princess Xuehua outside the door and hurriedly got into the carriage to leave.
“Did that woman make things difficult for the both of you?” Xiao Yan controlled the wheelchair to the empty courtyard in front of the hall and asked the two children.
Su Ye and Su Qingqing shook their heads at the same time.
“A woman like that can’t make things difficult for me and my brother.” Su Qingqing smiled sweetly.
Xiao Yan thought of Princess Xuehua’s appearance and nodded his head in relief. “If anyone dares to bully you in the future, beat them to death. If anything happens, Ninth Uncle will cover for you.”
“Ninth Uncle, why are you so good to us?” Su Qingqing tilted her head and asked in confusion.
“Because I like you guys.” Xiao Yan replied without hesitation.
This was his child, the child he and Su Qian had. How could he not like them?
“Then Ninth Uncle, do you not like our mother?” Su Ye looked at Xiao Yan with a hint of distance in his eyes. “In the past two days, you’ve been buying all the elixirs and caused our mother to work overnight. Then you used peony flowers that cause allergies to treat her. Ninth Uncle, although we like you very much, you’re not good to your mother..”
“I really didn’t do it on purpose.” Xiao Yan did not wait for Su Ye to finish and interrupted him, “It was all my fault previously. I wanted to make your mother happy, but I didn’t want to make things worse. Today, I specially came to find your mother and apologize to her.”
Xiao Yan’s tone was sincere, making it hard for people not to believe his words.
“I see.” Su Ye nodded and then said helplessly, “But I heard that Mother is very dissatisfied with you, Uncle. What should we do?”
“What else can we do? Ninth Uncle, my mother can’t stand it when someone acts coquettishly to her. Let’s go, I’ll bring you to my mother now.” As she spoke, Su Qingqing came behind Xiao Yan and pushed the wheelchair toward the backyard.
A moment later, Su Qian was sleeping in the room when she heard spa.r.s.e footsteps coming from outside the door.
Su Qian could hear the children’s footsteps. She was puzzled.. Why was there the sound of wheels mixed with the children’s footsteps?
