"So the only suitable candidate for Prince Yan’s Mansion is this child."

Empress Dowager Xiao heard this and could only take a deep breath.

"Nanny Xiao, take them out first and select some suitable things to reward them!

Since there isn’t a suitable child for Prince Yan’s Mansion, we’ll leave it at that!"

Prince Yi happily took leave from the palace.

As he left the palace, he was so happy that his shoulders shook with laughter. How could the little fool at Prince Yan’s Mansion compare to his lively and adorable grandchildren?

In the future, this Chang Rongshun and Princess will definitely marry into Prince Yi’s Mansion!

However, Prince Yi’s plans quickly fell through.

On Xiaosuisui’s first day of school, she successfully disdained every child in the Royal Children’s Armor Class!

In the afternoon, when school ended, Zhu Xiuxiu personally went to pick her up. Waiting for her at the gates of the Royal Academy were also the carriages of Princess Lianchun.

"Good girl! Over here!"

Two familiar voices came from two different directions.

"Aunt Zhu, Aunt!"

The little girl stood at the gates looking left and right, unsure whose carriage to board.

"Good girl! Aunt Zhu has peach blossom pastries here!"

The little girl’s eyes lit up, and she decisively boarded Zhu Xiuxiu’s carriage.

Princess Lianchun widened her eyes, "Little girl, you’re the type who wouldn’t recognize her mother if given snacks!"

She regretted not bringing some pastries and snacks on the carriage.

"To the Ji Mansion!"

The driver obediently drove, following behind Zhu Xiuxiu’s carriage!

"Princess Lianchun, are you that idle?

You don’t like the majestic Imperial Palace and insist on living in our mansion!

To those who don’t know, they might think you’re part of the Ji Family too!"

Seeing the person who always appeared to compete for her little darling, Zhu Xiuxiu couldn’t help but speak curtly to Princess Lianchun.

Princess Lianchun good-naturedly sat in the chair, directly beckoning to Xiaosui.

Without a word, Xiaosui dove into her embrace, and only then did Princess Lianchun retort to Zhu Xiuxiu.

"Third Madam, you’re not mistaken. Back then, if I hadn’t been kidnapped, I might indeed have become part of the Ji Family. If that were the case, there would certainly be no place for you as the Third Madam right now."

Zhu Xiuxiu widened her eyes at her words, "You... what do you mean by that?"

A strange feeling of encountering a rival in love rose within Zhu Xiuxiu, and she looked towards Princess Lianchun with wariness.

"What are you afraid of? Isn’t it said that your relationship with your husband isn’t good? Why are you so nervous and scared?

Could it be that the relationship between you and Ji Youcheng is not as publicly displayed as it seems?

Do you despise each other? Unwilling to accept one another?"

"How do you know these things?

No!

What does my relationship with Ji Youcheng have to do with you?

I warn you, don’t set your sights on Ji Youcheng!

Otherwise..."

"Or what?

I’ll tell you, Zhu Xiuxiu, Ji Youcheng might seem like nothing to you, but did you know, with his skills, any girl would consider him a treasure?"

"So?"

Zhu Xiuxiu’s heart raced.

"So what?"

Princess Lianchun deliberately winked at Zhu Xiuxiu.

"You... have you set your eyes on Ji Youcheng?"

Princess Lianchun raised an eyebrow, "What do you think?"

Zhu Xiuxiu stood there exasperated, "You... you are Princess Lianchun, of royal blood, you can’t do such shameless things!"

"What did I do?

Isn’t it that you and Ji Youcheng never really..." Princess Lianchun deliberately coughed, "If you don’t like him, why not just leave him and let him find happiness elsewhere?"

"Do you... really like the third son of the Ji Family?"

Zhu Xiuxiu’s heart unknowingly tightened, eyes widened, staring at Princess Lianchun.

Princess Lianchun didn’t reply, instead giving her a mysterious yet confident smile, then carried Xiaosui off to Qin Xin Residence.

"Why did you deceive Aunt Zhu?"

Xiaosui asked her while leaning on Princess Lianchun’s shoulder.

Princess Lianchun chuckled.

"Secret!"

Xiaosui pouted, closed her eyes, then suddenly her eyes shone brightly, smiling, "Hee hee! Your heart told me you deliberately said those things for Third Uncle, you have a deal with him!"

Princess Lianchun playfully flicked her on the forehead.

"I’ve told you repeatedly, don’t use telepathy on Aunt. Why didn’t you listen again?"

"Hee hee! I was just curious!

You’re always so cold, clearly like Seventh Uncle, cut off from emotions in the mortal world, how could you suddenly want to become my Third Aunt?"
