Little Milk Girl predicts the future and criticizes the prince's father

Chapter 10 Want to outshine my mother? No way

"Grandma, I'm always hungry."

Ling Suisui didn't want to listen to her grandfather's bad words, so she buried her little face in her grandmother's arms, and her baby voice sounded muffled.

Mrs. Xu raised her hand and touched her belly.

"Well, it's a little deflated. I'll ask the kitchen to make you something to eat."

"Eat meat every year!"

"Okay, but you have to eat meat with vegetables, so that you can be healthy."

The grandfather and grandson were talking to each other. Minister Xu, who was trying to smooth things over for Xu Fuxin, was ignored and the smile on his face almost disappeared.

He cleared his throat, forced a smile, and wanted to say something else, but Mrs. Xu had already stood up.

Ling Suisui hung on Mrs. Xu like a small pendant.

Her chubby little hand pointed outside: "Go, go."

Madam Xu carried Ling Suisui and walked out.

When she was about to leave, Madam Xu stopped and said in a cold tone, "Master, please don't mess with me when it comes to disciplining my children in the future."

"By the way, Xu Yao bumped into the princess, and I punished her too."

"Right now, the princess has not accepted our apology. Before that, Xu Yao must stay in my small Buddhist temple and kneel down to pray every day. He is not allowed to leave."

"No one is allowed to speak for her."

Mrs. Xu's punishment of Xu Yao made Minister Xu hesitate.

"Madam, is kneeling down as a punishment too severe?"

Minister Xu had knelt down to pray for the sick old lady in his mansion.

He knelt for less than an hour before his knees began to ache.

If Xu Yao went to the small Buddhist temple to kneel and recite scriptures, it would take at least two hours.

The small Buddhist temple is very taboo about food, which means Xu Yao has to kneel for such a long time on an empty stomach.

If he gets disabled, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him if the news gets out?
The more Minister Xu thought about it, the more unsafe he felt.

"Madam, why not give her a good beating?"

It hurts when the board hits my body, but at least I won’t be disabled!

The suggestion put forward by Minister Xu made Mrs. Xu's eyes look a little more complicated.

She couldn't tell for a moment whether Minister Xu treated Xu Yao so harshly because he didn't care about Aunt Meng, or because -

Is there another reason?
Madam Xu did not allow herself to think too much. She just kept her voice steady and said calmly, "No need. Just let her kneel down and recite the scriptures to show her repentance."

After Mrs. Xu finished speaking, she carried her baby, who was getting a little anxious, out of the house and returned to her Hengwu Courtyard.

She returned to the yard and brought Ling Suisui and Xu Yao with her.

Xu Yao kept his head down the whole way and said nothing.

She heard how Mrs. Xu punished her.

After entering the yard, Xu Yao went to the small Buddhist temple in silence.

But Ling Suisui stopped her.

"Yaoyao, eat!"

Ling Suisui tilted her head and told Xu Yao about the food she wanted to eat: "There's some delicious meat."

Xu Yao: “…”

Xu Yao pursed her lips and did not respond to her.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Ling Suisui frowned.

"Yaoyao! Come!"

Ling Suisui's baby voice was overbearing, but she still said politely: "Please accompany Suisui for dinner!"

Xu Yao was called again and again, and just when she was about to refuse, Mrs. Xu interrupted her.

"Sui Sui asked you to accompany her for dinner, so come and keep her company."

Mrs. Xu's tone, which was obviously cold but also mixed with a hint of impatience, made Xu Yao feel as if a needle was stabbing his heart.

She felt a little uncomfortable.

It was clear that before she returned home, Mrs. Xu was still very affectionate towards her.

She almost thought that she could get a little warmth.

It turns out that it was all an illusion.

Xu Yao suppressed his sadness and quickly walked to Ling Suisui's side.

Mrs. Xu didn't even look at her.

"Huan'er."

Mrs. Xu only spoke to Huan'er who was following her, and said in a private tone: "You haven't seen your mother for a few days. I guess she must miss you. You should go see her."

Huan'er was delighted when she heard this: "Thank you very much, Madam, for your kindness! I will go back to see my mother right away."

Huan'er was not at all surprised at the leave given by Mrs. Xu.

Her mother, Li Jinhua, was the trusted nanny that the Madam brought from the Marquis' Mansion!
Madam has always been kind to them and their mother!
Huan'er went back to see her mother happily, and just as she left, Mrs. Xu's expression softened towards Xu Yao.

She brought Ling Suisui and Xu Yao to the small dining room.

Except Huan'er, all the other maids were sent out by her.

There was no one else in the small hall. Ling Suisui had been held by her grandmother until now, and she wanted her mother to hold her.

"Yaoyao, hug me."

Ling Suisui had just opened her little hands and leaned her little body into Xu Yao's arms when Madam Xu suddenly spoke: "Madame Li and Huan'er both betrayed me."

"Huan'er has ill intentions towards you. If I had been nice to you in front of her just now, there's no telling what she would do to you."

Mrs. Xu explained it clearly.

After she finished her explanation, she promised, "Yaoyao, it won't be long before I get rid of Huan'er. When the time comes, I will let everyone in the mansion know that you are my beloved child."

No, Mrs. Xu thought in her heart, what she wanted was to let everyone in the mansion know how much she loved Xu Yao.

What she wants is——

Let everyone in the capital know that Xu Yao is her only and most beloved daughter!

Mrs. Xu's explanations and assurances suddenly dissipated the gloom in Xu Yao's heart, who was originally very sad.

Ling Suisui raised her little face and looked at her mother who lowered her eyes.

As she watched, she suddenly grinned: "Wow, Yaoyao is laughing, Yaoyao is laughing!"

Xu Yao blushed and refused to admit, "I, I didn't."

The big and the small were making noises at the dinner table. Mrs. Xu looked at them with warmth in her eyes.

That night.

Xu Yao moved directly into the small Buddhist temple.

Upon hearing the news, Aunt Meng rushed over, wiping her tears and begging Madam Xu for mercy.

But she seemed to be too dumb to ask for help.

Her words of begging offended Mrs. Xu even more.

If it were in the past, Mrs. Xu would definitely increase the punishment on Xu Yao because of her begging for mercy.

But today, after driving Aunt Meng away, Madam Xu just pressed her temples and told Huan'er, "Go to the small Buddhist hall and check if the bedding on the couch is thick and if the windows are closed tightly. Don't let Yaoyao catch a cold at night."

"By the way, send more candles, and also the shredded pork cake for dinner. I see Yaoyao likes it, so you should always keep it in the small Buddhist temple."

Huan'er wrote them down one by one, but when she wrote down the shredded pork cake, she hesitated: "Madam, shredded pork cake is a meat snack."

The small Buddhist temple is a quiet place, and according to the rules, no meat or snacks are allowed.

Madam Xu snorted coldly: "I have worshipped gods and Buddhas for many years, but they have never blessed me. Why should I abide by their broken rules?"

Compared to the gods and Buddhas who did not protect her at all, Mrs. Xu felt from the bottom of her heart that the gods and Buddhas were not as good as her Sui Sui.

At the very least, it was Sui Sui’s arrival that allowed her to find her biological daughter!

Mrs. Xu had no respect for the small Buddhist temple.

In order to make Xu Yao stay well, she transformed the quiet little Buddhist temple into a cozy boudoir.

In this cozy little Buddhist temple, Xu Yao had not knelt for even a stick of incense, let alone an hour.

There are blood swallows supplied in the small Buddhist hall, fresh food is available all day, and the cub Ling Suisui is always available to play with.

Xu Yao's life was extremely comfortable.

After a few days, her little face became rosy.

On weekdays, only Huan'er, a maid, could enter and exit the door of this small Buddhist temple.

So outsiders don’t know what Xu Yao is like in there.

At this moment, in the eyes of Aunt Meng and Xu Fuxin, they both felt that Xu Yao was suffering here!

"Auntie, it's too easy for her to just kneel down and recite the sutras."

Xu Fuxin actually copied several volumes of books this time, and her hands were so tired that they were cramping.

Whenever she thought of Xu Yao, she gnashed her teeth in hatred!
"Aunt, did you hear that? I don't think Xu Yao has suffered enough."

Xu Fuxin knew that kneeling to recite scriptures was a severe punishment, but she just didn't feel satisfied!

She also wants to continue to bully Xu Yao!
Aunt Meng's head hurt from her yelling: "Fuxin, mother has been very upset these days. I don't know where Yaozu ran off to, and he won't come home! Huan'er is also sick, so she can't keep an eye on Murong Han for me anymore. Aunt Li's son is not doing well, he's out there flirting with other women every day."

"Madame Li is asking me for money again."

Aunt Meng was telling her about her troubles, but before she could finish, she was interrupted impatiently by Xu Fuxin.

"We can talk about these trivial matters later, Auntie, please help me think of a solution first!"

"I want to vent my anger! I want to bring Xu Yao to ruin!"

Xu Fuxin shook Aunt Meng's arm and kept urging her.

Aunt Meng was so annoyed by her that she had no choice but to calm down and think of a solution for her.

"The chrysanthemum appreciation banquet in a few days will be held by the imperial concubine's family. The banquet is openly for chrysanthemum appreciation, but in fact, the ladies of various families want to meet girls of the right age."

"When the time comes, let Xu Yao accompany you."

"Before Xu Yao left, I dressed her up myself."

"She is not as pretty as you, not as talented as you, not as good as you in everything."

"If you let her make a fool of herself again, the ladies will definitely dislike her."

"She will soon be of age. If she doesn't please the ladies, then there will be no hope for her to get married in the future!"

"And Fu Xin, you are so outstanding, your father and I both want you to be the ruler of the Eastern Palace..."
