Chapter 583 She Only Wanted Elder Brother Siming
Wen Zheng frowned in confusion. “Who are you? You’re quite arrogant!”
“My name is Nuo’er~ They like to call me…”
Before Gu Nuo’er could finish speaking, Madam Bai said apologetically, “Your Highness, I’ve implicated you. They came from the countryside and speak vulgarly…”
Wen Zheng was stunned. Wen Fuling, who was sitting on the ground, also turned to look at the child in surprise.
Princess?
There was only one princess in the entire Great Qi.
Everyone already knew that. Even when they were living in the remote Nanxiang, they had also heard of how much this princess was doted on.
There were a few bridges built in their village. It was said that when Her Highness was one year old, His Majesty placed her on his map.
As the princess crawled over, His Majesty pointed at the three to four towns that Gu Nuo’er had passed by and instructed the imperial court to allocate funds for local construction.
Princess Yaoguang’s beautiful reputation had spread throughout the Great Qi a few years ago.
Gu Nuo’er shook her head and comforted Madam Bai in a soft voice, “Auntie Bai, since I’m here, I won’t let unreasonable bad people succeed!”
Then, she turned to look at Wen Zheng. “Uncle Bai is a general that everyone praises. Even my father often praises Uncle Bai for guarding the borders and being upright. He’s a rare general.
“How dare you bully him and Madam Bai like this! Your words are so unpleasant that even I can’t stand listening to you anymore! The government office can’t control scoundrels like you, but I can! Elder Brother Siming! Beat him up! If he cries, it’ll be on me!”
The child suddenly hesitated.
Elder Brother Siming was heavy-handed. What if he beat the person to death?
Uh, she’d better do it herself!
Gu Nuo’er twisted her small body and wanted to get onto the ground. “Forget it! I’ll do it myself to vent my anger!”
After saying that, she didn’t forget to roll up her sleeves, revealing a pair of fair and soft arms.
Ye Siming hugged her and held her in his arms.
Then, he frowned and pulled down the child’s sleeve again.
“It’s cold. Don’t roll up your sleeves.”
and weak and has lost his source of income. The child is still young and can’t take the hunger anymore…”
As she spoke, she kowtowed a few times.

She then turned to kneel to Bai Yi and Madam Bai.
Wen Zheng was so frightened that his legs were trembling. He held onto the chair to prevent himself from kneeling.
However, Wen Fuling reacted very quickly.
She hurriedly turned around and kowtowed to Gu Nuo’er, crying, “Your Highness, please spare my life. This commoner and this commoner’s father have no intention of disturbing Elder Sister and Brother-in-law’s lives.
“It’s really because this commoner lost my husband a few months ago. This commoner’s father is old and weak and has lost his source of income. The child is still young and can’t take the hunger anymore…”
Old and weak?
Gu Nuo’er looked up at Wen Zheng.
When he was shouting just now, his voice was like a roar.
He looked very healthy!
Wen Fuling sniffed and tears streamed down her face. “We originally wanted to come and seek refuge with Elder Sister and Brother-in-law, but didn’t expect to cause such a dispute.
“My father is just a little old and muddle-headed. Your Highness, please don’t lower yourself to his level. This commoner kowtows to thank you.”
As she spoke, she kowtowed a few times.
She then turned to kneel to Bai Yi and Madam Bai.
“Elder Sister… Brother-in-law, we won’t insist on staying here. Can you guys take us in for three days? Tomorrow is the Hungry Ghost Festival. We’ll leave after this festival is over so that my child won’t be frightened on the way. Can we do that? Please… do us this favor.”
As she spoke, she kowtowed again.
Madam Bai couldn’t bear to see her crying like this.
She looked at the boy in Wen Fuling’s arms.
He was only six years old and looked very sloppy. He even had snot running down his nose.
Madam Bai looked up at Gu Nuo’er. “Your Highness…”
Gu Nuo’er turned around and wrapped her arms around Ye Siming’s neck, resting her chin on his shoulder.
“Auntie Bai, you can decide for yourself what you want to do. Nuo’er will respect your decision.”
