After rebirth, the prince fell into the hands of the princess again

That face is so pretty.

Thinking about it now, Ji Chu still wants to slap herself. At that time, she actually had the leisure to think about how the young man in front of her looked so handsome.

"Grandfather said that what he wanted most was not to live out his days in peace, but to enjoy the happiness of family. Grandfather also said that my brother and sister-in-law are now living in harmony and have a first son. Now the one he misses most is me. He also asked when our child could crawl on the ground."

The more Ji Chu listened, the funnier it found it. Could it be that he had gone through so much trouble just to say this last sentence?

Seeing Ji Chu smile, Song Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief for no reason. What he feared most was seeing Ji Chu's sad face. In recent days, when he returned home from court, he always saw her standing alone in the corridor or sitting in front of the window in a daze. He tried many methods but to no avail. Unexpectedly, he finally made her laugh today.

I think this method is still useful.

"Don't just talk nonsense all day long. Brother said that you haven't done well in your studies recently, and asked me to urge you to review your studies. Grandfather also said that he would ask Brother to come and check your homework someday. If you have nothing to do, you should think about how to pass Brother's test as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Song Jinyu immediately looked worried. The person he was most afraid of was his brother. If he kept nagging him, it would take him at least ten days to recover.

"Brother, you are so interesting. I have already retired. What's the point of reading those useless poems and songs? You always tell me to read books. He knows that I feel uncomfortable when I read. Before I took the imperial examination, I suffered so much from you. Why don't you let me go now? Anyway, I don't care. You and I are in the same group. If you come to check one day, you have to help me."

Ji Chu glared at Song Jinyu with amusement, "Why are you acting like a child who hasn't grown up yet? Brother's random check on your homework is for your own good. You don't want your colleagues in the court to say that you are ignorant and have a smart mind all day long, right?"

"Who dares to say that? I passed the exam with great success. Who dares to say that I am uneducated? If I hear that, I will definitely teach you a lesson."

Ji Chu burst out laughing, and the gloom in his heart was relieved a lot. He thanked sincerely: "I feel much better after talking so much. Thank you, Song Jinyu."

Song Jinyu scratched the back of his head awkwardly, and said with disdain: "You don't need to thank me. Now you and I live under the same roof. I do things to make you happy not for you, but for myself. I can't stand you being sentimental like an old woman all the time."

Ji Chu knew what he was thinking, but didn't expose him. She just played along and continued talking and joking for a while before the two of them turned around and went back to the house.

The next day, when Tang Mumu found Ji Chu, she happened to see her playing with Song Chengzhou, the eldest grandson of the Song family, in the yard. Looking at the smile on her face, Tang Mumu felt that the bright smile hurt herself. The girl who should have been bright forever lost her family and protection because of her master.

"Mumu?" Seeing Tang Mumu, Ji Chu's face lit up and he pulled Song Chengzhou over. "Why are you here? Why didn't you call me when you came?"

"I saw you and Xiao Zhouzhou were having so much fun, so I didn't want to interrupt you." Tang Mumu replied with a smile, squatting down and pulling Song Chengzhou over, handing him the candy man in her hand, "This is what Aunt Mu bought for you, but you can only eat a little, otherwise your teeth will get damaged, remember?"

Song Chengzhou, who was only three years old, had his eyes light up when he saw the sugar man. He didn't understand what Tang Mumu said at all, but he still replied meekly, "I'll remember. Thank you, Aunt Mu."

"So good." Tang Mumu touched little Chengzhou's head. Ji Chu called a servant, handed Song Chengzhou to him, and told the servant to send him to the wet nurse. Then he sat down with Tang Mumu.

Tang Mumu saw a layer of fine beads of sweat oozing from Ji Chu's forehead, so she took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, "Wipe it off, you're sweating all over from playing."

Ji Chu took the handkerchief and wiped it casually, then said with a smile: "Xiaozhou is the most restless at this age. My sister-in-law has to take care of the accounts and has no time to play with him, so he can only come to me. Xiaozhou treats me very well, so I can't reject his interest."

"What brings you here today?"

Tang Mumu opened her lips, but when she saw the bright smile on Ji Chu's face, she felt like there was something blocking her throat and she couldn't utter a word.

"What's wrong?" Ji Chu smiled. "You have always been the type who speaks your mind directly. Why are you so shy today? Did you have a quarrel with the prince?"

"No, Your Highness and I didn't have a quarrel." Tang Mumu said hurriedly, "I just felt uncomfortable these two days and wanted to come and talk to you."

Ji Chu pretended to listen attentively, "Come on, tell me all your grievances. As long as I can beat him, I will definitely help you get revenge. But if it's the prince, then I can't help you. I can't beat him."

"We didn't have a quarrel with His Highness, so you don't have to go and settle the score with him." Tang Mumu wanted to slap herself, but she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth several times.

"Then what's wrong with you? Why are you so abnormal today? You were never like this in the past."

"It's my mother." Tang Mumu was afraid that she would reveal the truth about the Ji family's extermination in an impulse, but she was also afraid that she didn't have the courage to speak. When the words came to her lips, she said something else, "The eldest lady is so annoying. She bullied my mother again."

Ji Chu also sighed, "You also know that this kind of wealthy family is troublesome. The fighting in the backyard is more tiring than fighting a war. We can't just go to her house and tie her up and beat her up. After all, she is still your mother in name. If we do it directly, she might even counterattack us. We can only take a long-term view on this matter."

"Auntie is smarter than me. She must know what to do. Why don't I take you to ask her for advice?"

Tang Mumu was afraid that Ji Chu would really bring the matter to Madam Song, so she quickly advised, "It's not a big deal. My mother also told me not to make a big deal out of it. Let's not make it worse. If the matter gets out of hand, my mother's life might be even harder in the future. I can't take her to the palace, and my mother won't agree to come to the palace anyway."

Ji Chu pursed his lips, looking gloomy, "That's right. No matter what, Aunt Liu is from the General's Mansion. If she goes with you to the Prince's Mansion, I don't know how many people will say unpleasant things about her. People's words are the most terrifying."

Tang Mumu nodded casually. Seeing that she couldn't swallow this, Ji Chu suggested again: "How about we do it like we did to Prince Shun last time? When the Madam leaves the house, we will tie her up and beat her up, at least to make her suffer some physical pain."

Tang Mumu laughed helplessly, "It's wrong to hit people. Have you forgotten what happened after we beat Prince Shun last time? Although we were not punished, His Highness took a lot of blame for me. Wasn't Song Jinyu also punished to kneel in the ancestral hall? In the future, we should think carefully about such things and not act rashly again."

Ji Chu sighed deeply and hung his head, "What should we do? We can't fight them secretly, and we can't fight them openly."

"Alright, alright. Actually, my mother didn't suffer much injustice. After all, she still has a daughter who is a princess. Even if the first lady is arrogant, she still has to consider the face of the palace. Besides, I have already warned Lin in the general's mansion. The anger has been vented. Let's forget about it."
