"Sister, your idea is good, but there are too many insatiable people in this world. Once they get a little benefit, they want even more!" Han Tianci said as he stretched his hand out to pinch Leng Nuan’s cheek.
Leng Nuan did not cry or smile, just looked at Han Tianci indifferently.
"I’ve already figured that out. Help those in dire straits but not the poor; those who can’t afford the medicine will work in the shop until they’ve paid off their debt. Then they can leave. In the meantime, they’ll be provided with three meals a day so that they won’t starve to death with medicine in hand but no food to eat!" Yun Jinnian remarked calmly.
"Sister, why don’t you let me handle this? I promise to manage it neatly!"
Yun Jinnian naturally had a lot of trust in Han Tianci.
Seeing Han Tianci constantly pinching Leng Nuan’s cheek, who did not cry or become annoyed—just watched indifferently—
Yun Jinnian laughed and said, "Stop pinching his cheek, he will drool!"
"Just a light pinch, no harm done!"
As he spoke, Han Tianci reluctantly withdrew his hand.
The guy had chubby cheeks that felt quite comfortable to pinch.
The siblings began talking about other matters as Leng Nuan leaned into Yun Jinnian’s embrace, quiet and well-behaved.
Yet his little hand tightly clutched Yun Jinnian’s thumb.
Prince Wang Residence
Chu Renzhi looked at the object before him, suddenly feeling uncomfortable.
He looked at Chen Kang.
Chen Kang’s face was somber; they had once been in-laws, but now, they were enemies.
"Now that the Princely Heir’s wish has been followed, he should no longer come to the Elder Residence, and the Elder Residence will no longer associate with the Prince Wang Residence!"
Having said this, Chen Kang turned and left the Prince Wang Residence.
He hated that his name also contained the character ’Kang’ and planned to change it once he got home.
To sever all ties with the Prince Wang Residence and Chu Renzhi forever.
Chu Renzhi sat in a chair, considering that the Elder’s illness might have been caused by the annulled engagement.
He understood even clearer that he would never have another chance with Chen Danyan in this lifetime.
"Crown Prince..." the butler called softly.
Chu Renzhi gestured with his hand, "Dismissed!"
He didn’t want to say anything more.
At this moment, he was also beginning to regret.
But in this world, there’s no such thing as a pill for regret!
The Elder Residence called off the engagement with the Prince Wang Residence, which baffled many people, but many others began to scheme, considering the status of the Crown Princess Consort to be very noble indeed.
Xu Xinmo’s fifty-fourth birthday was on the fifth of February, but now nobody in the residence even mentioned her birthday.
After discussing with Granny Jin, she went to seek the elder matriarch of the Yun Family.
The elder matriarch of the Yun Family had not been feeling well all year, appearing somewhat groggy every day as if she had not fully woken up.
"Is that Xinmo? Come over to your great-grandmother!"
Xu Xinmo sat beside the elder matriarch, "Great-grandmother, how are you feeling?"
"Still the same old body, why are you here today?"
"I came to see how great-grandmother is!" Xu Xinmo smiled tenderly.
The picture of filial piety.
The elder matriarch laughed.
"Good child, you’ll be of age next year. Learn more about needlework and embroidery; try to avoid coming here if you can!"
"I couldn’t possibly, great-grandmother! You are the closest person to me in this world now. I can do without everyone else, but I can’t do without you!" Xu Xinmo said, hugging the elder matriarch.
Her eyes reddened slightly.
The elder matriarch looked at her, her heart aching fiercely.
"You, you have always been more filial than the others!"
Yun Musi and Yun Mulan were barely seen all day; Yun Qingzhi, Yun Qingqing, and Yun Zuomo just sat on stools like blocks of wood.
Yun He, Yun Mu, and Yun Kuan were just over two years old, barely able to speak clearly, and would cry at the slightest provocation.
