Chapter 1172: Extra Story 6: Revenge
Ever since Yuanyuan learned to walk, it took just half a month for him to become quite steady.He started with one or two steps, and now he can walk seven or eight steps in one go.
But he still walks shakily, with a swollen head from bumps in the front, so we’re afraid to let go and let him walk.
With the weather being good, after breakfast, Su Jin took Yuanyuan to Peony Garden to pay respects to the Princess Consort.
The Princess Consort was feeding the Little Princess porridge.
The Little Princess was eating happily, but when she saw the wet nurse carrying Yuanyuan in, she couldn’t sit still and wanted to get down from her stool.
The Princess Consort didn’t allow it, "Be good, finish the last two bites, and then you can play with Yuanyuan."
This wasn’t the first or second time this happened.
The Little Princess obediently opened her mouth and finished the last half bowl of porridge.
The wet nurse wiped her mouth and then put her down on the ground.
The Little Princess walked to the wet nurse’s side.
The wet nurse put Yuanyuan down.
The Little Princess hugged Yuanyuan and gave him a smack of a kiss.
After kissing, she pointed to her own face, wanting Yuanyuan to kiss her.
Yuanyuan wanted to kiss her back, but he couldn’t reach...
To reach her, he leaned on the Little Princess.
Although the Little Princess was nine months older, she was still not yet two years old and wasn’t very strong.
The result of Yuanyuan leaning on her was that they both fell down together.
Luckily, there was a thick carpet on the ground, so falling wasn’t painful.
The Little Princess and Yuanyuan were having a wonderful time playing.
Su Jin paid her respects to the Princess Consort and then sat down to chat.
After playing for a while, Yuanyuan looked for Su Jin, and the wet nurse held his hand and walked him over to Su Jin’s side.
Yuanyuan held onto Su Jin’s leg and looked at the Princess Consort.
The Little Princess stood next to Su Jin, sweetly calling her sister-in-law.
She was taught to say sister-in-law by the Princess Consort, and it took several days for her to learn to say it.
Now she was saying it more fluidly with each call.
Seeing her call Su Jin, Yuanyuan also looked at Su Jin and called out, "Sister-in-law...."
Su Jin, "...."
The Princess Consort, "...."
With that call, Su Jin was left bewildered.
This was Yuanyuan’s first time speaking.
Generally, boys begin to speak a bit later than girls.
When the Little Princess was about Yuanyuan’s age, she was already calling her mom the Princess Consort, but Yuanyuan hadn’t called out yet.
Su Jin always imagined what it would feel like for Yuanyuan to call her mom, but why, after waiting so long, did he first call her sister-in-law?
Thinking of Prince NanAn, Su Jin comforted herself, thinking that at least it was better than him calling out for Prince NanAn.
The Princess Consort couldn’t hold back her laughter, picked up Yuanyuan, pointed to Su Jin, and said, "This is your mom, not sister-in-law."
Yuanyuan only called out once and then became interested in the cakes on the table, reaching out to grab them.
The Little Princess, pampering her nephew, tiptoed to drag the plate over to Yuanyuan.
The Princess Consort laughed and said, "After waiting so long, he’s finally speaking. Over the next few days, let the wet nurse and the maid teach him more, and he’ll start calling you mom."
Su Jin was both happy and a bit upset.
After spending half an hour at the Princess Consort’s place, Su Jin finally took Yuanyuan to leave.
The Little Princess was reluctant to part with her nephew and cried for quite a while.
Halfway down, Xie Jingchen walked over quickly and said, "Yuanyuan is talking now?"
"He’s starting to call people," Su Jin nodded.
As soon as Yuanyuan saw Xie Jingchen, he stretched out his arms toward him.
Xie Jingchen didn’t pick him up, and the wet nurse laughed and said, "Call dad...."
Yuanyuan was really obedient and called out, "Dad...."
The wet nurse was stunned.
She had just said it casually, but Young Master Su actually called out.
Though the call was still not very clear, it was enough to make Xie Jingchen feel completely at ease.
Su Jin gave Xie Jingchen a hard glare.
The look in her eyes, full of envy, jealousy, and bitterness, made Xie Jingchen chuckle, "What, are you not going to let Yuanyuan call me dad?"
"He hasn’t even called me mom yet," Su Jin said angrily.
"...???"
"Didn’t he already call you?" Xie Jingchen asked, puzzled.
"He followed Ruoruo calling me sister-in-law."
"...."
The flame in Su Jin’s eyes was burning fiercely.
How long had they just taught Yuanyuan in the room, and he hadn’t called out.
The wet nurse told him to call dad, and he did.
What’s up with that?
Does he have a problem with me as his mom?
Su Jin was really upset.
Xie Jingchen supported her and said, "Alright, don’t be mad. I’ll pretend I didn’t hear Yuanyuan call me."
Su Jin shot Xie Jingchen a sideways glance.
Is pretending you didn’t hear it mean it didn’t happen?
Xie Jingchen supported Su Jin as they walked forward.
Behind them, Yuanyuan was in the wet nurse’s arms, exhausted from holding out his arms, yet no one picked him up. He could only see the backs of his parents’ heads.
Parents are the true love.
Xingxing looked back several times, feeling that it wasn’t good for the young lady and the young master to ignore Young Master Su so much.
But she wasn’t allowed to pick him up, leaving Xingxing quite anxious inside.
In the distance, Young Master Su and others came running over like a gust of wind, shouting from afar, "Sister, brother-in-law...."
Before the words even fell, Young Master Su and others had run up to them.
It’s only been a month, and Young Master Su had grown quite a bit taller again.
