After the milk ball arrived, the father who had no heirs had a string of good luck.

People have varying degrees of closeness and distance. Since this person has bullied my mother, of course I must take action to eliminate him!

Tang Rui, a professional mother who has protected her children for a hundred years!

Princess Consort Chen quickly understood what Tang Rui meant. She frowned, somewhat surprised and uncertain: "You mean... Consort He is using her child to compete for favor? No way? That's her own child."

She is also a mother, and over the years she has worried herself sick over her children, crying every day.

She couldn't imagine that a mother could be so cruel to her own child.

Tang Rui raised an eyebrow, mimicking her father's gesture: "Not all mothers love their children, and not all children love their mothers."

In modern times!

The case of a 6-year-old girl in Changsha who was abused by her biological mother for a long time!

The brutal murder of a mother by an 18-year-old girl in Guangdong!

A five-year-old boy in Jiangsu Province was abused by his biological mother, who pushed him down the stairs and forced him to eat feces, leaving him with a level one disability in both eyes.

Aren't there too few of these cases, one after another?

Human nature is too complex; perhaps everyone has a devil living inside them.

However, most people have humanity and are able to restrain themselves from having dangerous thoughts at any given moment!

But some people are born without humanity and cannot control themselves.

Tang Rui smiled and said, "Third Imperial Aunt, I suggest you go to the palace and invite the imperial physician. I'm sure the imperial physician will know what's wrong with the child after examining him!"

"You're right!"

Princess Consort Chen took a deep breath, immediately summoned her trusted maid, handed her her waist token, and said with a cold expression, "Go and fetch the imperial physician. I'm going to see what's wrong with this Qian-ge today!"

Situ Tan quietly leaned closer, his cheeks slightly flushed, and said cautiously, "Mother, your son will always love you."

"Good child, your mother knows..." Seeing her son, Princess Chen's expression softened. "Rui Rui has finished eating. Why don't you take her to play for a while?"

"Yes!" Situ Tan hesitated for a moment, then cautiously probed, "Mother, can I take Rui Rui out to play? She's usually either at home or at the Imperial Academy, and we've never really gone shopping together."

Princess Chen, who had initially intended to refuse, softened upon seeing the longing in Situ Tan's eyes: "Go, take two guards with you, and be careful."

"Yes, sir!" Situ Tan's eyes lit up as he looked at Tang Rui, "Rui Rui, let's go out and play!"

"..." Goodness, he's calling himself the older brother now.

"Since you've extended such a sincere invitation, let's go!"

Tang Rui actually wanted to go out and have some fun, but since Princess Chen was about to unleash her fury, it wasn't appropriate for her to stay and continue watching the drama unfold.

The two children, one big and one small, along with Rong Momo, Da Ge and Er Ge, and two guards from the Prince Chen's mansion, set off.

It was right under the emperor's nose, and it was the afternoon, so it was very lively!

Along both sides of the street, the shouts of various vendors rose and fell.

The sweet aroma of sugar figurines, the steam from steamed buns, and the fragrance of freshly baked pastries mingled together, causing Tang Rui to stop every now and then, drooling as she looked around.

Situ Tan was like a dutiful older brother, introducing her to this and that, worried she might get lost, and buying her food, holding her little hand tightly the whole time.

That genuine care warmed Tang Rui's heart.

"Rui Rui, look at that!" Situ Tan suddenly pointed to a stall selling wooden weapons not far away, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

Tang Rui looked in the direction he was pointing and saw that there were pretty little wooden swords, little wooden knives, and wooden spears on the stall.

Situ Tan led her over, and immediately took a liking to the spear, becoming quite enamored with it.

Tang Rui understood: "Brother Tan, this spear is perfect for you! Didn't you want to learn kung fu from Uncle San? Learn with the spear!"

"But..." Situ Tan hesitated, then lost confidence. "Can I really learn it well?"

"Where there's a will, there's a way. I'll give it to you!" Tang Rui glanced at Rong Momo before he could hesitate any longer.

Rong Momo understood immediately and handed the vendor some copper coins.

Situ Tan blushed slightly: "Rui Rui, I already owe you so many favors, how can I let you pay again!"

"It's okay, you bought me lots of delicious food! Once you learn to protect me, I'll consider it an advance protection fee!" Tang Rui didn't mind; she wasn't short of money for the time being.

But Situ Tan silently kept these words in mind and nodded solemnly: "Okay, I will protect you well from now on."

Tang Rui: "Hmm!"

Situ Tan was a good older brother. Even though Princess Chen and Consort He were at odds, he did not show favoritism or contempt towards them.

He then took out some money and chose a small wooden sword for Consort He's doll, Situ Qian: "Brother Qian is six years old now. When Father teaches me kung fu, he can learn along with me."

"Yes!" Tang Rui saw his eyes sparkling and didn't want to spoil his mood, so she told him that one should always be wary of others.

In ancient times, children from poor families had to learn to manage the household early and mature early.

In wealthy families, stepmothers often have many siblings, and infighting is common. They are also often forced to mature prematurely.

That Brother Qian…

If I remember correctly, before she knocked Situ Tan unconscious, Situ Qian was walking in front of him!

But what about Situ Qian?

He dodged it!

This put his ailing elder brother in danger.

This shows that Situ Qian has no virtue of caring for his elder brother.

Situ Tan handed two wooden weapons to the guards, then pulled Tang Rui along to continue strolling.

The two children made purchases along the way, stopping frequently, while several servants followed behind, carrying many things, but their faces were full of smiles.

However, Tang Rui has a huge appetite.

Her little mouth never stopped chattering the whole way.

I passed by a meat bun stall and bought one!

I passed by a pastry shop, so I bought some!

I hadn't finished eating yet when I passed by a wonton stall, and I started drooling again as I stared at the stall owner's steaming pot.

Situ Tan: "..."

Silently looking down at her belly, she had the same question as Rong Momo.

Not small!

But not very big!

How can you fit so much food in it?

Where did they all go to eat?

Unbeknownst to them, a pair of sinister eyes were watching them from the alleyway... or more precisely, watching Tang Rui!

Liu Ji was dressed as an ordinary woman, and even the thick yellow powder on her face could not hide her tired look. Her hair was casually tied up and adorned with a wooden hairpin.

She stared intently at Tang Rui, her eyes filled with resentment and malice.

Yingluo, the maid beside her, noticed her distorted expression and was secretly alarmed: "Master, let's leave quickly, it won't be good if the princess finds out."

"Leave? Leave what? I was forced to leave the Prince Li's residence, it's all her fault!"

Liu Ji gritted her teeth and cursed under her breath, "You little bitch, I'll make you pay for this today."

Yingluo panicked: "My lady, we were in the wrong first, letting people put snakes in the princess's room. If Consort Gu hadn't warned us beforehand, we wouldn't have had time to escape and would have been caught by the prince long ago. Now..."

Snapped!

Before she could finish speaking, Liu Ji slapped her hard across the back: "Shut up, you lowly servant!"

Cherry Blossom: "..."

Liu Ji: "Don't forget, your indenture is still in my hands. Say one more word, and I'll sell you to a brothel!"

Yingluo lowered her eyes, gritting her teeth in hatred.

Life at the Prince Li's residence was so comfortable, yet Liu Ji insisted on causing trouble.
