Zhi’er’s little milky voice lowered, "So, you sneaked in earlier to release the mice!"
Only then did Bai Fengqing rember that there was a little one beside him.
He turned his head and looked, his lively eyes carrying a hint of pride.
"Yes, to teach her a lesson, serves her right! She’s always pestering my dad, and last night she wouldn’t even let my mom see him when her head hurt badly!"
"But speaking of which, who are you and why are you at my house?" Bai Fengqing finally reacted and asked suspiciously.
However, before Zhi’er could answer,
a sharp voice was heard: "Fifth Heir, why are you hiding here?"
The siblings looked up and saw the concubine’s maid standing by the bushes.
She had caught them in the act.
The maid’s face was serious, her tone more like an interrogation: "The dead mice in the house, is it you, Fifth Heir, who placed them?"
Bai Fengqing, realizing he was discovered, decided not to hide anymore.
He stood up straight, head held high, his gaze domineering and fearless.
"Yes, it was , the Fifth Young Master, who threw them, so what? If you have the guts, go tell my dad!"
"That fox spirit in the house deserves to be scared, humph!"
Zhi’er’s big watery eyes widened, standing behind Bai Fengqing, blinking her long lashes watching the spectacle.
The maid beca angry upon hearing this.
"Fifth Heir, even if you don’t like Second Aunt, you shouldn’t be disrespectful! Calling the concubine a fox spirit, aren’t you indirectly calling the Prince King Zhou?"
At this mont, at the courtyard gate, Prince Kang already led the Princess Consort Kang, Bai Yaoyu, and Bai Daoyan over while playing hide and seek.
Originally, they intended to find the hidden little Zhi’er.
Unexpectedly, they heard Bai Fengqing arguing with the concubine’s maid, Lixiang.
"What’s going on?" Prince Kang tightened his expression and walked quickly over.
As soon as Bai Fengqing saw the Princess Consort Kang co too, he imdiately seed to have found backup.
He hurried over, "Mom!"
However, the Princess Consort Kang waved him to the side and beckoned to the innocent and naive Zhi’er behind the bushes.
"Zhi’er, co here to Third Aunt, don’t be scared."
Bai Fengqing, not able to rush into his mother’s embrace, stood there stunned.
He turned his head to watch the toddling little milk doll walk over.
This delicate-looking little baby, who visibly appeared pampered and fragile, could she really be his sister, Bai Zhi’er?
He had overheard his Third and Fourth Brothers ntion her before.
Zhi’er leaped into the arms of the Princess Consort Kang, not forgetting to turn her head, blinking her big, sparkling eyes, continuing to watch the fun.
Perhaps upon hearing Prince Kang’s voice, the Second Aunt quickly ca out.
"This humble concubine greets the Prince and Princess Consort."
She explained with an apologetic expression, "It’s my fault for not coming out sooner to calm the Fifth Heir; I was so frightened just now that it took a while to recover."
"I didn’t expect to alarm the Prince and Princess Consort, it’s my fault."
The maid Lixiang hurriedly said, "Prince, the Fifth Heir placed four dead mice in the concubine’s room, scaring the concubine so much her face turned pale!"
"Last ti, the Fifth Heir threw in a few poisonous insects, and the Princess Consort scolded him, so why did he throw mice in this ti?"
Bai Fengqing gritted his teeth, glaring at her, "Say what you want about , but leave my mom out of it!"
"I have every right to teach a lesson to the fox spirit. Last night my mom’s head hurt badly, and my dad was dragged by you, not able to go see her!"
Prince Kang’s face darkened imdiately, "Alright, that’s enough, don’t say any more!"
He was about to scold his impulsive youngest son.
Just then, a soft, milky voice was heard——
"Third Uncle~ this maid says you are King Zhou, do you also want to be Emperor?"
Prince Kang’s body stiffened as if his blood flowed backward.
He turned around to see Zhi’er’s innocent and pure little face, adorably cute and guileless.
