Chapter 190 I Love You So Much
The three siblings returned to Mancuixuan. Jinchu asked them a few simple questions and when he learned that everything was going well and they had already had lunch, he pointed to the house and let them go take a shower and rest.
After such a long and tiring journey, it’s time to take a nice hot bath and then have a good sleep.
After seeing their sister, Zhao'er and Huanyan finally let go of their worries. After their mental relaxation, they felt physically tired and exhausted.
The two of them nodded obediently and followed the maid to wash up and rest.
Jin Chu also changed into casual clothes and lay on the chaise longue with her eyes closed to rest.
They originally thought that once Huanyan arrived, the two of them would be able to recruit people and make balm.
However, man proposes, God disposes. King Dingbei suddenly gave her a big task to cooperate with her to make wine and earn money.
If this mission is accomplished, both sides will benefit, the Northern Territory will benefit as well as himself. If it fails, all the goodwill he has worked so hard to gain in the eyes of King Dingbei will be wiped out.
She still knows clearly what is important and what is not.
Now we can only let Huanyan take charge of the cosmetics business!
Fortunately, Huanyan was careful and steady, and she had experienced the entire incense-making process in Lincheng with her, and later had the experience of managing a workshop on her own.
Therefore, Jin Chu was not worried that Huanyan would mess up the cosmetics business.
But the girl had just arrived and was not yet familiar with the environment, yet Jin Chu had put most of the burden on her. He felt a little guilty about it.
Why not just put aside the cosmetics business and let Huanyan live a more relaxed life.
Money can be earned at any time, so there is no shortage of these ten days or half a month.
With an idea in mind, Jin Chu relaxed and slowly closed his eyes.
When she woke up again, it was already past 3:00 PM. Thinking that she had to go to Princess Du's place for dinner in the evening, Jin Chu ordered the maid to call Zhao'er and Huanyan to get up, while she sat leisurely in front of the dressing table and let the maid comb her hair and put on the hairpins and rings.
After she changed her clothes and packed up, Huanyan brought Zhao'er to Jinchu.
Looking at the two people who were now refreshed, Jin Chu pursed his lips in satisfaction and helped Zhao'er smooth the corner of his clothes.
It was almost time, so the three siblings slowly walked towards Princess Du's Hanzhang Courtyard.
When they arrived at Hanzhang Courtyard, Zhao'er was still treated specially by Princess Du, who held her in her arms and was very affectionate with her.
Zhao'er blushed as he felt the scent of the sweet-smelling princess. At that moment, he seemed to be back in his mother's arms when he was a cradle.
From his sister, he learned that his mother was also a kind and generous person. Unfortunately, unlike his brothers and sisters, he had never felt the warmth of maternal love.
He was so young when his mother passed away that he didn't even have any memory of her.
Although his sister was very good to him, she was just a little girl under ten years old at the time, so it was naturally impossible for him to feel like a mother to her.
Today, the princess's warm embrace and loving tone suddenly made him feel an inexplicable attachment. At this moment, he seemed to be nestled in his mother's arms, being pampered, warm and comfortable.
If my mother were still alive, I think she would feel like a princess!
At this moment, Princess Du rubbed Zhao'er's head lovingly. The young boy's eyes became hot and he subconsciously called out, "Mother!"
The crisp voice of "Aniang" suddenly made the huge main hall quiet.
Everyone's eyes were either surprised or puzzled, but they all looked at the porcelain-white boy with one mind.
Jin Chu was also quite surprised, and then felt an inexplicable sadness. Zhao'er lost his mother when he was young. Although he grew up under the care of his brothers and sisters, he still experienced the lack of maternal love.
Now, in front of a middle-aged woman who was about the same age as his mother and who spoke softly to him and expressed deep love, the child could not suppress his inner desire and developed a bit of empathy and admiration for her.
In a trance, he actually regarded Princess Du as the mother in his memory.
Zhao'er, who had already realized that he had said something wrong, suddenly turned red on his fair and tender face, like a shrimp just out of the pot.
He glanced quickly at his sister who looked surprised, and felt even more nervous.
Would his sister blame him for being impolite? How could he address the honored princess as "A Niang" in public?
Did he cause trouble for his sister today?
My mind was in a mess of regret, worry, embarrassment, and a slight sense of loss.
The agitation made the young boy rub his fingers back and forth under his sleeves, and his lips moved for a long time. Finally, he closed his eyes and mustered up the courage to speak: "Princess, it was Zhao'er who was rude. Zhao'er didn't mean it. If you are angry, just hit Zhao'er a few times. This matter was Zhao'er's own decision. It has nothing to do with me. Princess, please don't be angry with me."
Jin Chu hurried forward to intervene: "Princess, please forgive me. My mother passed away when my younger brother was less than three years old. Seeing how lovingly you treat him today, I got carried away and addressed him inappropriately. Please forgive me, Princess."
After hearing what Jinchu and his sister said, Princess Du turned her gaze again to Zhao'er, whose face was flushed and who was rubbing his hands nervously, and she couldn't help feeling sympathy.
She immediately stood up and pulled Zhao'er over, saying soothingly, "Zhao'er, don't be afraid. You like me, and I'm very happy and I like you very much. From now on, you should treat me as your mother, and I'll treat you as my son. I'll save a portion of any delicious food in the mansion for you. And remember to tell me about anything fun and interesting you encounter outside, okay?"
Princess Du's gentle and generous tone slowly seeped into Zhao'er's ears like a warm current, gradually easing his anxious heart.
With tears in his eyes, the young boy looked at the beautiful woman and nodded firmly, smiling brightly: "Aunt, you are like a mother to Zhao'er. You are so good to her!"
"Oh, what a well-behaved and sensible little sweetheart!" Princess Du hugged the young man in her arms.
"It's also because of the princess' kindness." Everyone laughed along.
When the atmosphere was getting lively, a loud voice rang out from outside the door: "Who is your sweetheart?"
King Dingbei strode in with curiosity in his eyes.
Jin Chu hurriedly took his brother and sister-in-law to greet King Dingbei. King Dingbei waved his hand and signaled everyone to skip the formalities.
His eyes quickly swept over the two people beside Jin Chu, and finally fell on Zhao'er.
"Could it be that the sweetheart Arui mentioned is actually this kid?"
As he spoke, he had already walked over to sit beside the princess, looked at Zhao'er and smiled, "She's really pretty, no wonder the princess likes her so much."
"Keep your voice down, don't scare the child."
Princess Du glared at Prince Dingbei in disapproval, then pointed at Zhao'er and Huanyan and introduced them, "That girl is Huanyan, she's Ajin's younger sister. The one next to her is Zhao'er, he's Ajin's younger brother. They'll be living in our mansion from now on."
Prince Dingbei's eyes lit up and he smiled, "That's great. The three siblings are together now. From now on, Ah Jin won't have to worry about his siblings far away, and can focus on his own affairs without distractions."
"Who says it isn't?"
Princess Du beckoned Zhao'er over and said to Prince Dingbei, "Yizhi has always been a cold and unyielding child. When he was a little older, you took him to the front yard to be educated, and when he was even older, he went to the army. As a mother, I deeply regret this. Now that I see this well-behaved and lovely Zhao'er, I am very happy."
She sneered with a hint of meaning: "If I wasn't afraid of the unnecessary troubles that would come with the house, I really want to adopt this child as my adopted son!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
