After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

"Fourth sister, do you still remember?"

The eldest looked at the fourth and asked, "In the second year after you entered the mansion, when you were less than three years old, you fell seriously ill. You had a high fever for several days and spoke nonsense."

"I was so anxious that I could only watch over him day and night. The eldest princess sent someone to the palace in the middle of the night with a sign to invite the imperial physician. Only after taking a dose of medicine did the fever subside."

"After several days of careful nursing, Fourth Sister finally regained her vitality."

The fourth brother frowned and thought about it carefully, then shook his head and said, "It seems like there was such a thing, but I can't remember it clearly."

"If that's the case, then I can be almost certain that before Zhou Qinghe and her daughter entered the palace, the eldest princess was still a normal stepmother." The second son held his chin and said, "Although she didn't like it, she still fulfilled her duties as a stepmother."

At that time, the second son had not yet entered the mansion and did not know about this.

The boss's words further confirmed his speculation.

The second son's knowledge far surpassed theirs. He knew that it was common for the mother of a wealthy family to dislike illegitimate children. Even if he gritted his teeth and pretended to be virtuous, his heart was bleeding.

Being ignored and treated harshly is a common practice, so if you let concubines die, you will probably be known as "unvirtuous and unkind". Just like the reason why the eldest princess ordered someone to treat the fourth child's illness was for this reason.

"You mean, she targeted us later because the mother and daughter from Chuntangyuan instigated her behind the scenes?" The third brother asked this question with a cold light in his eyes.

"Correct."

The second brother made the final conclusion: "Although it is too ridiculous, the owner of Huamu Hall is indeed not the 'witch' before. From now on, we will respect her as our mother and must not treat her lightly. More importantly, this is a secret between the five of us and must not be leaked."

"Otherwise, we will just lose our umbrella of protection."

If Qin Yaoguang were here, he would probably be shocked.

The second brother's inference was so accurate that even the moment when she changed was guessed correctly. He is worthy of being the most powerful think tank in this book.

Hearing the second brother's serious tone, everyone except the third brother nodded in agreement with a serious expression.

The second child looked at the third child and asked, "What do you say?"

"I..." The third brother turned his face away awkwardly, "I want to see if she has really changed her personality first. As for keeping it a secret, that's for sure. I'm not a fool. I won't tell anyone about this."

The second brother did not force her, and stood up and said, "Fourth sister, it's getting late, you should go back and rest early, you still have Madam Zhou's class tomorrow."

"That Mrs. Zhou, everyone should be alert to this." The second child looked around and reminded the children, "She has just arrived, she may not know that the mother and daughter are harboring evil intentions."

"Okay." The four of them responded.

Seeing the door open, Chunfen came forward, took the fourth sister's hand, and said with a smile: "Fourth sister, please go back with me quickly. The master has asked them to prepare goat milk for you to take a bath. They must make your skin white and tender."

When the fourth brother heard about taking a bath, he didn’t think much of it, but the fifth brother’s eyes lit up. He was deeply impressed by the bath he took that day: a big, fragrant bathtub, and space to play in the water!

He grabbed the sleeve of the fourth child and said, "Fourth sister, please tell mother that the fifth child also wants to take a bath."

The fourth brother responded with a smile, and Chunxing presented a red satin cloak. Chuntao stood by her side and helped her tie the cloak straps carefully and tidy up the fox fur.

The fourth child's delicate little face was made even more charming by the fox fur. When the four boys saw it, they all agreed with the conclusion drawn by the second child.

How could it be possible that the servants served so attentively if the princess had not changed her mind?

Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. The fourth sister, who is being served like this, looks like a young lady from a wealthy family.

The eldest thought for a moment, took a lantern from a servant, and said to the fourth, "I'll take you back, and kowtow to your mother and confess your sins."

Since that person was no longer a "witch", he felt guilty for being so suspicious and contradictory to her.

"There's no need to be so eager, right?" The third brother said to him coldly.

The eldest brother ignored them, holding the lantern and walked out first. He turned around and took the fourth brother's hand, carefully protecting her as she went down the stairs.

"The eldest young master is so considerate to me," Bai Lu said as she led the way with a smile, "It is a blessing for our fourth young lady to have a brother like you in her previous life."

The fourth child listened and smiled with his eyes curved.

Very good!

Her intuition told her that she had already survived the most difficult times, and that she would have the courage to face any difficulties in the future.

The group left Zhufeng Courtyard and walked for a full quarter of an hour, but still hadn't reached Huamu Hall.

The princess's mansion was so big that even if there were lights everywhere, it couldn't illuminate the entire mansion. The sound of the autumn wind blowing through the branches and leaves came from the darkness, making the fourth child dare not look up and walk with his head down.

Sensing her nervousness, the eldest brother held her hand tighter and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, fourth sister. I'm here."

The fourth child said "hmm" in a thin voice: "I'm not afraid."

Fortunately, there were many people following them, holding lanterns to illuminate a large area in front and behind, and they quickly entered Huamu Hall.

Qin Yaoguang had finished washing and changed into soft pajamas for bed.

Knowing that the eldest brother had brought the fourth brother back, he asked in surprise, "Why is he back?"

When she punished him, although she said harshly that she would not let him get up unless he understood, she had a modern soul after all. She found a reason to let him escort the fourth child and stopped the punishment.

Now he came back again, leaving her with no excuses.

The hot water had already been prepared. Qin Yaoguang asked Chun Xing and Chun Tao to help the fourth brother take a bath. She put on a half-new, half-worn autumn-scented brocade jacket and asked the eldest brother to come in.

"Child, please give your mother greetings."

As soon as he entered the door, the eldest brother put his hands on the ground and kowtowed respectfully.

It had only been a short time since they last met, but why did she feel that the boss's attitude was completely different? She couldn't really tell what was different, it was just a feeling.

Qin Yaoguang had no idea that the second brother had even guessed her background, and the eldest brother's attitude towards her had changed drastically.

"Mother, it is my son's fault."

The eldest son admitted his mistake and said, "I shouldn't have doubted and contradicted my mother, causing her to be sad and angry. I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions without asking for the truth, which almost led to a big mistake."

Qin Yaoguang's eyes swept over him and he thought: Has this kid finally gotten his bearings?

"Get up. Now that you have figured it out, you must remember the lesson you learned this time." Qin Yaoguang looked at him seriously and said, "Remember, never let impulse blind your eyes, and never make decisions when you are emotionally excited."

"Did you remember it?"

The eldest brother repeated the last two sentences and said, "I'll remember them, son."

Knowing that the person in front of him was not a seductress, he took his instruction seriously.

This made Qin Yaoguang feel uneasy.
