After he was sure he was out of the Aunt Lan's line of sight, Sun Jinzi's body softened.

"Miss, Miss, are you alright?"

Ye Zichen nodded weakly. He didn't know why her body suddenly became like this, but he still had to wait for his master to come to a conclusion before he could do anything about it.

"It's fine for now. Let's go back first."

Mu Tan used all her might to prop up Sun Jinzi's body, but the worry on her face did not decrease in the slightest. She wanted to increase her speed, but the little miss wasn't fast, so she could only follow slowly.

From a distance, Sun Jinzi could see a figure at the entrance who was constantly looking around. His heart warmed as he used a little bit of force to open up Mu Tan's arms to support him.

"Miss!"

"Don't let Mother know."

Mu Tan also understood something, nodded, and quietly followed behind Sun Jinzi.

"Mother, why are you waiting outside in such a cold weather?"

Qian's disease smiled and was about to pull Sun Jinzi's hand. Since he could not avoid it, Sun Jinzi had no choice but to do so and let Qian's disease hold her hand.

"Kid, why are your hands so cold?"

Sun Jinzi leaned on Qian's disease's side and rubbed her shoulders, "It's all because of the winter, it's too cold out. You just need to go back and warm up for a while."

Carefully putting Sun Jinzi's hands on her palms, Qian's disease did not delay outside and pulled Sun Jinzi into the house.

Cui Lv followed behind them and asked Mu Tan where she went with the young miss in a soft voice. Mu Tan wanted to tease her a little, but the two of them continued to cause a ruckus as they ran off.

Now that the madame was here, there was no need for them to wait on her in this room. They could only wait for them to boil some hot soup and bring it in for the young mistress to wash her hands.

The two of them sat next to the fire. Qian's disease let go of Sun Jinzi's hand, and used a stick to stir up the fire to make the house warmer so that Sun Jinzi wouldn't be so cold.

"Mother, don't trouble yourself. This room is so warm, I don't feel cold anymore."

Qian's disease nodded his head, but his hands did not stop moving, "Child, if it wasn't for you being with Master Ji Zi for all these years to recuperate, I wonder how cold you would be."

Sun Jinzi did not speak either, quietly looking at Qian's disease. This mother was used to worrying about him, if he did not let her worry, she would probably not be used to it anymore.

Ever since her mother had moved out from her uncle's residence, Sun Jinzi would personally check on her diet, and no one would use any underhanded methods. Now that her mother had recovered, even her face had become a little bit more round.

"Mother, I think you're even more beautiful than before."

Qian's disease was slightly surprised, but she still had a bit of bashfulness on her face. "Child, you are just spouting nonsense. Mother is already such a grown woman, why are you making fun of me?"

Sun Jinzi curled her lips, and under the light of the flames, Qian's disease's face became even redder. Sun Jinzi did not lie. Qian's disease's body became a bit more rounded, and seemed to have a bit of charm to it.

It was unknown if it was because of the fire that caused her to be embarrassed. Qian's disease's face became even more red, in these few days, the old master came to her room, saying that she looked better than when he first married her.

Sun Jinzi did not reveal anything. After her previous life, she was no longer unfamiliar with this kind of thing between a man and a woman. In her previous life, her mother had died too early, and everything was different now. If this was the happiness her mother hoped for, then she was willing to let her mother be happy as well.

It was just that her mother was too innocent. She was a good mother to her husband, but she wasn't suitable to live in the backyard. Therefore, Sun Jinzi would definitely try her best to clean up Sun Fuping's backyard.

"Zi Er!"

Sun Jinzi and Qian's disease looked at each other. Sun Jinzi shook her head lightly, signalling Qian's disease not to be nervous.

Sun Fuping's voice contained a bit of anger. Without even thinking, Sun Jinzi knew that Lance's must have added more fuel to the fire from Sun Fuping's words.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Not long after arriving at the house, Sun Jinzi didn't have the time to tell Qian's disease what had happened.

"Master!"

Sun Fuping also didn't think that the Qian's disease would be here, and was stunned for a moment.

"Old master, why are you standing at the entrance?"

Lance's's voice came out immediately, with a hint of a nasal tone, sounding like she had been crying.

Sun Fuping's expression was slightly abnormal, but he did not make a sound. Only when he sat on the chair of the main seat did Lance's enter the room to find out that the Qian's disease was also there.

Lance's's eyes were slightly red and swollen. It seemed that he had already cried.

Curling her lips, Sun Jinzi felt disdain in her heart. This Lance's was indeed fast enough, it hadn't been long since she dragged Sun Fuping here. She had overestimated this father. Her ears were truly soft.

Master, why are you looking for Zi Er?

The figure of Qian's disease was indistinctly protecting Sun Jinzi behind her, she did not ignore the anger on Sun Fuping's face earlier. Sun Jinzi knew that this Qian's disease wanted to protect him, but she was no longer a child.

"Father, are you here to seek justice for Zi Er?"

Sun Jinzi's eyes reddened, coming out from behind Qian's disease. Sun Fuping was stunned, what's wrong with one or two of them?

Just a moment ago, when he was still working on the documents in her study, he was dragged here by the Lance's as he cried. Now, Zi Er was crying as she wanted him to be the judge.

's eyes were red as he timidly looked at Lance's, as though he had suffered a great grievance.

"Aunt Lan, don't tell me you want to teach me a lesson for the sake of a mama chasing after us?"

Lance's only felt that his son was speechless, unable to retort. While he was thinking, he had already lost the initiative.

"What is going on?"

Sun Fuping's voice was filled with suspicion. The women in the backyard were all one by one, even the big and small ones didn't let him relax.

"Father, I just returned from the outside and was stopped at the second door by the Aunt Lan. Aunt Lan's wife wanted to teach Mu Tan a lesson for no reason, so I accidentally smashed her head with something. Father, I know I was wrong. If it wasn't for me apologizing to that old woman, Aunt Lan wouldn't be so angry …

Sun Jinzi whimpered, and then buried her head in Qian's disease's neck. The look in Qian's disease's eyes had also changed slightly. She had endured for many years but not a single person could strut on top of her and bully her daughter. So what if he killed a woman, let alone a woman?

On the surface, Sun Fuping looked a little awkward. Just now, Lance's came over only to say that Zi Er disobeyed her and even used his furnace to smash people. Avoiding important matters and avoiding unimportant matters caused some misunderstandings.

"Lance's, is this true?"

Lance's had always been thinking about how to salvage the situation, but he never thought that Sun Fuping would come to his own body so soon, and he immediately opened his mouth to explain.

"Master, it's not like that, I just …"

When Sun Jinzi said this much, she did not need to continue any further. She could only obediently lie on Qian's disease's body, and did not forget to take a single glance at him.

When he raised his eyes, Lance's just happened to catch a glimpse of a smile in Sun Jinzi's eyes, and his anger grew even stronger.

"Master, I am currently managing the household, so I naturally have to be concerned about the life of Second Miss. Seeing that Second Miss has returned late, I will ask you, what's wrong with that? "

"Before I left, I went to report to father that I wanted to go to Master Ji Zi's place to get a good formula for mother so that she could recuperate. Wait until Master Ji Zi has finished preparing the medicine before bringing it back, so … "

How could the Lance's not understand? Sun Jinzi did not say where she had gone to just now, but was waiting for him here. But she had no choice but to pull down her pride to apologize to Sun Jinzi.

"It's body of concubine's fault. Master, please punish me."

Gritting his teeth, Lance's could only lower his head for the time being. However, he was extremely resentful and wished that he could tear apart Sun Jinzi's bones and peel her skin.

This was a small matter, there was nothing to punish or not punish, but in front of the Qian's disease, Zi Er suffered greatly and she could not let it go. Sun Fuping thought about it and decided to compensate him.

"However, is Miss really only coming back with Master Ji Zi this late?"

"What do you mean?"

Sun Jinzi's heart skipped a beat, and then she thought that the Lance's would not have sent people to follow him, if not Jin Chupei would have sensed it. She relaxed her body, and on her face, she looked heartbroken.

"Just what kind of medicine did Master Ji Zi concoct? It only took a day, could it be that Second Miss has gone to see some male outsider?"

"Aunt Lan, why are you slandering me like that?"

Sun Jinzi pointed at Aunt Lan with the finger of the silk handkerchief, slightly trembling as if she was suppressing an enormous amount of anger, yet she had no way to explain.

"Lance's, what do you mean? How can my daughter's reputation allow you to slander her like that?"

"Why, am I wrong?" He was still entangled with the Sixth Prince before he got married, do you think that you can hide the matter of the Sixth Prince kneeling outside the Jade Fragment Palace all night long? "I …"

"Shut up!"

With a single slap, he knocked Lance's down to the ground. Although Sun Fuping did not point at his daughter becoming a dragon and a phoenix, being able to marry well would naturally help him in his career as a official. Moreover, the engagement between Zi Er and the First Prince was not known to have occurred. Forget about the matter of the Sixth Prince kneeling in front of the Jade Imperial Palace, the entire imperial court did not dare to discuss about it rashly.

If she were to continue, it was likely that she would bring him disaster.

When Lance's regained his senses, he felt that his entire face was wooden. He wiped it with the back of his hand, and the corner of his mouth still felt sticky.

"Master!"

Seeing that half of Lance's's face was swollen, Sun Fuping felt that his actions had become more ruthless. However, compared to the peace and stability of the entire Sun Mansion, Sun Fuping had hardened his heart.

"Lance's's mouth is open, the Ancestral Hall has to carry the female ring for three days."

Seeing that there was truly a wife coming to pull him, Lance's was also confused, this was obviously not how things should be.

"Master, you can't treat me like this. Ning Er will definitely save me."

Originally, when his own daughter became a lateral consort in a daze, he was very happy. However, when the entire empire used this time to tease him, Sun Fuping felt that his thinking was too simple.

The words First Prince s were probably the words that Sun Fuping did not want to hear the most right now.

Being disturbed by them, Sun Fuping did not have the mind to stay anymore. He could only instruct Qian's disease to take care of Sun Jinzi properly before leaving the Jing Xin Yuan.
