Cowardly Stepmother Dressed As the Hero

Chapter 5



Cao Mi roughly broke things up and asked the people in the house one by one. During this period, Qi San, who was standing behind him, did not speak.

She admitted that there was nothing wrong with the interrogation, but judging from the results of the interrogation, I am afraid that the original body is the one who should bear the greatest responsibility.

The growth of the offspring in the backyard is one of the things that the mistress should be most concerned about. The servants in Jingming Court may have some dereliction of duty, but the biggest reason is that the original body does not pay enough attention.

After the winter, the original body had seen Qi Rui several times, but the little child was dressed in a round shape and could not see any symptoms at all. She did remember that the servant told her that Mr. Rui didn’t want to eat, but she always felt that it was a common problem of children, and she never regarded it as a major issue.

Hey, it’s all a debt left by the original body.

Since it was a debt, Cao Mi had to figure out how to repay it.

Judging from the information she has collected so far, there must be no problem with the external environment. Because Qi Rui has no appetite, the kitchen has been making things in different ways for two consecutive months.

The problem must be Qi Rui himself.

Cao Mi actually had some guesses in his heart, but Dr. Liu’s previous diagnosis determined that the child’s appetite was poor, and the prescription had already been prescribed, so Cao Mi didn’t think about it for the time being.

After all, what she can be sure of is that in the future, Qi Rui will become a hero to unify the chaotic world, and she will definitely not die at the small hurdle of the age of four. Maybe after Dr. Liu’s medicine, the whole person will be better, not necessarily.

Thinking of this, Cao Mi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In less than a day after she crossed over, she encountered three things, including burning charcoal to assassinate her, treating guests harshly, and hindering her son-in-law. She didn’t let go of her heart for a whole day.

At this time, after the interrogation of the servants in Jingming Court, the sky was also dark, and it was time for dinner.

Cao Mi thought for a while, and asked Qi San, who had never spoken behind him: “It’s getting late, I think the prince should be back to the mansion soon. Qi, Qi San, right? Please go to the front yard and tell the prince. Said, I would like to invite him to come to Jingming Court tonight and accompany Ruier to have dinner together, I wonder if the lord has time?”

Just kidding, the charcoal stove that killed the original body is still brightly placed in the bedroom, Cao Mi doesn’t want to go back to the hospital for dinner tonight, and will make room for the new Princess Bei’an tomorrow.

Qi San nodded when he heard the words, said “yes” and left directly.

The King of Bei’an probably also remembered the physical condition of his eldest son, so he came over to save face. So the kitchen prepared meals and sent them to Jingmingyuan.

When it was time to eat, Cao Mi didn’t know how little Qi Rui said he was eating!

The tableware of the powerful family is exquisite, and the small bowl placed in front of the three of them is smaller than Qi Rui’s palm. Cao Mi’s visual inspection should be about 150ml, which is about half of the common iron can of Coke in the previous life.

With such a small bowl, Qi Rui probably ate a small bowl and said he was full.

Although Cao Mi doesn’t know how much food a normal four-year-old child eats, it’s definitely not just that.

Sure enough, on the other side, King Bei’an, who frowned, opened his mouth, “Rui’er, do you eat this much every meal…?”

Qi Rui nodded.

The scene froze for a while.

Cao Mi twisted his neck and broke the silence, “Rui’er, it’s rare for your father to come over to dine with you… Well, even if you’re full, let’s accompany your father to eat a little more.”

She personally took Qi Rui’s small bowl, stood up and asked, “Drink some more fish soup, or eat some more digestible vegetable soup?”

Qi Rui looked at her blankly and didn’t answer.

In the end, he pointed at the fish soup in the center of the dining table in a compromising manner, took half a bowl of soup that Cao Mi had served, and took a few more sips.

During this period, Cao Mi could feel his resistance. Every time this young man from the palace, who claimed to be full, took a mouthful of fish soup, it was as if he had swallowed an indigestible stone.

Cao Mi and Qi You took his expression and actions into their eyes, and they stopped persuading him.

After finishing their meal, Cao Mi and Qi You waited until Qi Rui obediently drank the medicine that Doctor Liu prescribed in the afternoon, and then left.

When they were on the same road, Qi You chatted with Cao Mi: “Rui’er, I have to bother you recently.”

Cao Mi was startled and quickly replied, “It’s what the concubine should do.”

Qi You nodded.

He slowed down his voice and walked in the darkness of the night. He was three times less hostile than in the daytime. “His biological mother died early, but you are close sisters. I have never worried about it… Be careful!”

It turned out that Cao Mi turned his head and listened to what he said attentively, but he didn’t notice a stone under his feet for a while, and staggered.

Cao Mi didn’t feel anything, but Qi You reacted greatly and grabbed her directly and held her in his arms.

The two were so close that Cao Mi could even feel Qi You’s breath lightly hitting her forehead. It was supposed to be a very ambiguous action, but Cao Mi gave Cao Mi a savage shock.

Fortunately, she still remembered the original character, resisted the urge to push the person in front of her away, blushing, half scared and half shy and asked, “My lord?”

Qi You didn’t plan to let her go immediately. He looked into Cao Mi’s eyes and seemed to want to find out something strange. “It’s dark, princess, be careful with your feet.”

Cao Mi pretended to listen to him, and suddenly felt that his lower back was pinched.

The lower back seemed to be the sensitive part of this body, Cao Mi only felt his body soften, and then his whole body trembled slightly.

Seeing her strange reaction, Qi You let go of her hand and let her stand by herself.

Cao Mi stood up in shock, but he knew that he had just “passed” an inspection.

Seeing her standing up straight, Qi You suddenly said, “You are a little strange today, and you are different from usual.”

Cao Mi smiled with a white face, and took out the remarks he had prepared a long time ago, “My husband has been away for a year and two months. Even if you return to the capital, you will stay away for a long time, and it is rare to return home.”

Qi You paused, “This king is busy with business.”

His face was a little heavy, and he even frowned slightly. Cao Mi guessed that the position of King Bei’an was not easy. But there was also a hint of guilt in his tone, which made Cao Mi somewhat relieved.

“The concubine has been ill for a while, and has been trapped in the room, and she has figured out a lot of things.” Cao Mi continued: “The concubine always lives under the protection of the prince and sister, and now the prince is incapable of doing things, it should be It’s time for the concubine to work hard to share the worries of the prince. In the past, the concubine always wanted to be a generous master, but today, the matter of Zhang’s mother and daughter and Rui’er has made the concubine know that one’s generosity is weakness.

“In the past, it was indeed the concubine’s dereliction of duty. But I also ask the prince to give the concubine another chance. Whether it’s Zhang’s mother and daughter, or Rui’er’s side, the concubine will give the prince an explanation.”

After trying his best to finish the above paragraph, Cao Mi forced himself to squeeze out two tears, and moved closer to the original image of the original body.

Fortunately, her efforts were not in vain. After hearing these words, Qi You did not say anything anymore. He turned his head to look ahead, and waited for a while before saying, “If that’s the case, then leave these two matters to Madam.”

After agreeing to Cao Mi’s request, he turned and said: “At that time, if Madam is unable to solve it, this king will send some good servants to assist Madam.”

Cao Mi nodded, “Thank you, Lord.”

The matter finally came to an end, Cao Mi simply found an excuse to leave.

She was actually quite frightened by this cold-faced King of Bei’an. She always felt that if she stayed by his side for a while, the risk of exposure would increase.

Even after she left, Qi You was still standing there.

After a while, Qi San came forward and asked for instructions beside Qi You, “Your Highness?”

Qi You nodded slightly, “Just as I said just now, let’s leave the matter to the princess first, you guys… keep an eye on the princess.”

Qi San nodded in command.

Qi You asked again: “When I went to Yuzhou to suppress the rebellion, what was wrong in the mansion?”

Qi San replied: “The number of people staying in the capital is limited, and the backyard is the princess’s territory, so the subordinates dare not let people get involved easily. Details of what happened in the backyard may be missing, but in general, the period when the prince left. Time, nothing major happened in the house.”

“Yeah, it’s all trivial things.” Qi You took a few steps forward against Ye Feng.

After that, he closed his eyes and sighed softly, “But when these little things pile up, they become a big trouble that people can’t be caught off guard against.”

The night fell, and Wan Lai was silent.
