"Yes, yes, daughter, is it really you?"
She knew that they truly treated her as their lost daughter all those years ago. Having forgotten the feelings of kinship for so long, she, at this moment, truly felt the warmth from the eyes of the prime minister and his wife. From the bottom of her heart, she held the hands of the prime minister and his wife, hesitating to speak with a mischievous tone, "…" Father, Mother, I … I'm hungry! "
The prime minister and his wife were stunned into silence. Yao Jiajia spoke, "Father, mother, what's the matter? Are you unhappy that your daughter has returned?" Following this voice, it brought the Prime Minister and Madam Ye back to their senses. The surrounding servants and maids also regained their consciousness, as if they had been immobilized.
The Prime Minister chuckled, "My daughter, yes, that's right. Let's go in. Qiu Bai, you stay behind as well." The butler ordered the servants to bring the food over. The Prime Minister had already accepted Yao Sisi as his daughter from the bottom of his heart. He had unknowingly placed his debt towards his youngest daughter onto the shoulders of Yao Sisi, who had just met him.
"Ai, seeing how happy I am, Ran'er probably hasn't eaten yet. I'll go in first thing in the morning and tell the kitchen to make some food for my daughter. Your two brothers will be back in a few days." The Prime Minister's wife's father said kindly as he gently tested the corners of his eyes.
From the very first moment that Yao Sisi saw the Prime Minister and his wife, she fell in love with them. She also expressed in her heart that she would take good care of them, as they were the ones who allowed her to enjoy the family love she had yearned for day and night.
After lunch, the prime minister and his wife pulled at Yao Sisi and asked about the warmth in her heart. She was also happy to feel the affection they had not had for each other for a long time, because the prime minister's father directly gave her the Warmth Pavilion where their daughter used to live in the past, while the mother, who he had obtained at a cheap price, arranged two maids to take care of her. As long as she could get a maid, she did not want too many people to wait on her and shorten her personal space. The more she thought about it, the more she was sure that the support she had found was reliable.
Within the house, there was a vase of pink roses stuck in it. Outside of the house, the room was immersed in the fragrance of flowers, and there were three big ice cubes placed in the room. The temperature had dropped by quite a bit, but it was still a bit hot and stuffy.
It had already been three days since the Prime Minister arrived. She was not worried at all that she would not be recognized by the Empress Dowager, that she would not do any homework. She patted her chest in front of the Prime Minister and his wife to guarantee her freedom, and that she would not regret giving her happiness in exchange for Yao Jiajia's. The only thing she did for three days was eat and play.
"Little miss, this is the bun that tastes good and good, here is the candy that tastes good, as well as the melon seeds, walnuts, and candied honey." The little girl was panting heavily as she ran over.
Yao Sisi's face drooped, her brows knitted together into a scar, and she feebly said, "Yuanbao, how many times do I have to say don't call me little miss, am I that small? Remember to call me Miss, otherwise you will starve! "
Yuanbao used to be known as Yuanbao, but this little girl was surnamed Yuan. This was the first time Yao Sisi had heard her say "Yuan Shao", and she almost couldn't control her laughter. Fortunately, there was no history of the Three Kingdoms here, otherwise, they would have all been laughing. In order not to laugh, Yao Sisi decided to change her nickname to 'Yuanbao'.
Yuan Bao breathed heavily and nodded his head dejectedly, like a chick pecking rice.
The more Yao Sisi looked at Yuanbao, the more she wanted to laugh. Her cold face that she had finally managed to hide was suddenly broken. She forced a laugh and said, "You must be tired. Let's sit down and eat together."
"I'm not tired, little miss. Please eat, little miss. Bao`er doesn't like it. " Yuanbao said very eagerly. It had been a few days since he was used to calling himself Yuanbao. Thinking of Yao Sisi's power and prestige, he had no choice but to give up on her name.
If not for the Prime Minister and his wife agreeing to let her be his servant, she would have been sent to the brothel by her father. Furthermore, the Prime Minister and his wife had always been very good to their servants, so she had always wanted to repay the master and his wife. Now that she was a servant of the young miss, Yuan Bao told himself that she must take good care of the young miss.
"You're still not tired after panting so much, come and sit down. It's been a few days and you still don't know your young miss's temper. If you don't eat, then you don't have to serve me anymore!" Yao Sisi pretended to be angry as she said this. She really liked this simple-minded little girl who only had a master in her heart and not a schemer. She really didn't have the brains to deal with someone with a strong heart all day. Simple and high-profile was something she loved.
"Miss, I'll just sit down. Don't chase away the ingots." His eyes were filled with pleading.
"Look, isn't this called the ingot? It's not stuttering, it seems like coercion is more direct than temptation." "Don't just look at me eating it. Also, tell me what I heard about the Fifth Prince today." Yao Sisi had never forgotten the role she was about to play in her heart. In order to know herself and her opponent, she wanted to know as much as possible about the character of the Fourth Prince.
"Miss, the Fourth Prince, Zuo Lianfan, has no heart for the throne. He roamed around everywhere in the martial arts world. He hadn't gotten married in his early twenties, and the empress dowager had called his over many times, but had never seen his return to the capital. Thus, he had heard that the emperor was in the midst of napping the Fourth Prince. Miss, are you really going to marry the Fourth Prince? " She was very curious as to why the young miss was paying so much attention to the Fourth Marquis as soon as he returned. Shouldn't the one who was paying attention to be the third young miss instead?
"Little girl, eat your food. Don't ask too much about adults. How would I know why I like him?" Yao Sisi obviously knew the reason, but she certainly wouldn't say it. Sometimes, protecting someone just meant that she didn't need to know too much.
"Miss, you are only two months older than me. You don't know, who knows?" Yuan Bao muttered softly. Realizing that he had gone overboard, he carefully lifted his eyes to cast a sidelong glance at Yao Sisi. Only after seeing that Yao Sisi was not unhappy did he feel at ease to eat the remaining half of the steamed bun.
Yao Sisi sorted out the news she had gotten from the ingots these past few days. The Fourth Marquis had a total of three major characteristics. One: no wife. Second: male seed! The third: the rich do not know hunger and hunger, completely do not have the ambition to fight for power.
Yao Sisi was quite satisfied with the news. Firstly, she would be married off to a big family, so her status was obviously beneficial for the profit. Secondly, if there were many women fighting over her, she wouldn't be bothered and would be able to get away from it easily. Thirdly, she wouldn't be involved in the competition and would be safe.
Last night, she had seen her two elder brothers and heard from them that the Fourth Prince was at the Fragrant Pond, that the Emperor's men had already secretly gone there. She had not believed that the Emperor would invite a person back and even go all out against him, but after hearing the news of the return of the ingots, she could not help but believe it.
Night came. A thousand miles away, in the Fragrant Pond Realm, a group of black-clothed men moved in a strange way, passing through the willow trees and surrounding a brothel.
A coquettish woman's voice could be vaguely heard. "Prince …"
And then I heard a man's voice, "Geezer..." Don't move, let This King finish it. "
She didn't clearly hear what the woman said, she was the only one that could be heard moaning in displeasure.
