With a wave of his hand, the Prince's Mansion's fortune exploded throughout the entire cap

"How dare you steal my Dragon Prince's beloved pet!"

With one hand holding shrimp meat and the other about to throw away the shrimp shells, Jingjing looked at the furious Dragon Prince and hurriedly fed him the remaining little bit of meat.

The Dragon Prince watched as she devoured his beloved pet right before his eyes, tears streaming down his face as he roared in fury, "Guards! Banish her to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation!"

Little Koi Jingjing opened her mouth, about to call the clan leader "Grandpa," when she suddenly found herself on a mountain and pouted.

"Grandpa Chief, you said you brought me out to show me the sparkling Dragon Palace, but I haven't seen anything yet, and then I was sent...sent to..."

Jingjing, who was about to secretly hurl a few rebellious curses, froze: "Where is this...?"

Jingjing pouted, her eyes welling up with tears. She raised her hand, looking aggrieved, as if to use magic to return to the water, but she fainted after only reciting half of the incantation.

As the heavens watched her fall, they withdrew their hand with satisfaction and nodded: "I've left you some magic power, but don't even think about casting a spell to return. Little girl, train hard..."

A quarter of an hour later, a four-horse ebony and sandalwood carriage slowly came to a stop, followed by two maids and four servants.

"Madam, there is a child lying on the road ahead."

The driver frowned as he looked at the child. Why was he lying so sprawled out? Could someone really faint like that?

The old woman inside the carriage lifted the curtain and glanced inside: "Madam, it really is a child, looks to be about three or four years old."

The old lady in the carriage had her white hair neatly combed, but the silver comb and wooden hairpin on her head seemed somewhat out of place with the expensive carriage.

She slowly opened her eyes and put down the bracelet in her hand: "Granny Guan, check if the child is alive. If he is, bring him up."

Granny Guan got off the carriage, carefully turned the child over, checked his breathing, and breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, he was still alive; it wasn't bad luck.

He raised his hand and gently wiped the dust off his face with a handkerchief, then lightly patted the dust off her body, and casually touched her to see if she had any daggers or similar items.

After confirming that everything was correct, he carried her into the carriage.

"Madam, it's a little girl, so pretty and delicate, she must have fainted."

Fang Yuhua raised her hand and touched her face. It felt smooth and tender, with chubby little breasts.

"Her skin is delicate, she has flesh on her body, and this red dress is not made of ordinary fabric. There are also gold koi fish hanging from her red hair ribbon. She is not the daughter of a farmer from the nearby area."

"Granny Guan, after we return to the city, secretly inquire which wealthy family has lost their daughter. Take her back to the Prince's mansion first. Once we're inside the city gates, go find the doctor."

"Yes." Granny Guan adjusted her holding position so that the old lady could see the child.

Fang Yuhua raised her hand and touched her little chubby cheeks. Looking at their bouncy shape, she felt inexplicably happy.

"Although this child is dizzy, you can tell he has big eyes. I reckon he's about the same size as Feng'er."

A smile appeared on Granny Guan's thin face: "Young Master Feng has thick eyebrows and big, bright eyes. A girl's big eyes are probably even more lively."

After entering the city, Granny Guan originally intended to place the child on her chair, but unexpectedly, the old lady spoke up: "Let me hold him."

Granny Guan asked in surprise, "This..."

"Consider it a good deed I did today, and may God grant my Prince Jing's Mansion some good fortune." The old lady raised her hand and hugged the girl in her arms, gently stroking her little face.

After getting off the carriage, Granny Guan wiped away her tears. The old lady was heartbroken.

As the only non-royal prince in the Great Sheng Dynasty, the Prince Jing's Mansion was a founding hero who fought alongside the founding emperor to conquer the country. He enjoyed decades of glory and honor.

The entire Wangfu (Prince's Mansion) worked diligently and devoted themselves to the great prosperity, while nearly half of the male ancestors of the Xiao family perished in the southwest.

The old prince, as the emperor's former study companion and general, fought alongside the emperor through the bloody struggle for the throne and was also the emperor's closest minister.

The current prince is also the Crown Prince's study companion. They have studied and practiced martial arts together since childhood, and their relationship is very close.

However, three years ago, the Xiao family army suffered heavy casualties in the battle of the Ten Thousand Mountains: General Xiao Qi was pierced by ten thousand arrows and fell off a cliff; the prince was crippled and confined to a wheelchair; the second young master originally planned to abandon martial arts and pursue a literary career after that battle, but now, heartbroken, he wanders with a merchant caravan...

After the three-year mourning period, the once lofty Prince Jing's mansion is now deserted.

After her lament, Granny Guan rallied her spirits and headed towards the bustling teahouse.

At the entrance of Prince Jing's residence, Princess Jing, dressed in a simple blue robe with a jade pendant adorning her waist and her hair simply styled, personally stepped forward to greet the old lady: "Mother."

He lifted the carriage curtain and saw the child in the old lady's arms, then lowered his voice and said, "Mother, let me do it."

Princess Jing had her doubts, but she knew that she absolutely could not be impolite at the entrance of the Prince's residence and give rise to gossip.

Upon arriving at the Fulu Courtyard where the old lady resided, he instructed his personal maid to carry her to a side room before looking at the old lady sitting at the head of the table.

"Mother, what about this child? And where is Granny Guan?"

Fang Yuhua put down her teacup: "I've sent Granny Guan to fetch a doctor; he'll be back in a bit. As for the child, since he fainted on the road, consider it an act of kindness for the day."

Looking at her daughter-in-law's dark circles under her eyes, she sighed, "Wen Shu, did you not sleep well last night? Did Yu'er have another nightmare?"

Princess Jing nodded bitterly and helplessly, but dared not speak out that Yu'er had cried and begged for his grandfather in his dream again last night.

"Mother, you have been fasting for three days at Ciguang Temple. Go and bathe and rest first. I will look after that girl. All three children are with the tutor right now."

In the side room, Princess Jing looked at the little girl before her, gently raising her hand to touch her soft, delicate face. "Fudong, have you seen the prescription?"

The maidservant beside her curtsied: "Your Highness, Fu Dong has already checked it. It's just a common sedative, there's no problem."

"Then go and brew the medicine for this young lady. You go yourself, and you feed her the medicine yourself later."

Princess Jing looked at her face and unconsciously reached out to touch it, muttering to herself, "If only my Yu'er could be so fair and chubby..."

The tall and graceful Ranqiu said softly, "Your Highness, the tutor's lesson is almost over. Aren't you supposed to be going to fetch the Crown Prince and the two young masters for lunch?"

Princess Jing withdrew her hand: "Granny Guan, you and Fudong keep an eye on things. Come find me when they wake up."

When Little Koi Jingjing woke up, the old lady was sitting by the bed: "You're awake?"

Jingjing looked at the unfamiliar people and surroundings, blinked her big, round eyes, and nodded cautiously: "Jingjing is awake... Who are you?"

Looking into her big, bright eyes and hearing her clear, polite voice, the old lady's heart softened a little: "You fainted by the roadside, so I brought you back. This is my home."

"Thank you, Grandma, for saving Jingjing."

The old lady raised her hand to touch her, then suddenly stopped: "Grandma, can I touch Jingjing?"

Jingjing smiled and said, "Sure, Grandma saved Jingjing, of course you can."

After saying that, he leaned forward and rubbed his face against her palm.

The little girl grinned, her eyes crinkling into crescents, and said, "Jingjing's face is so soft, it's so nice to touch."

[Grandma feels so comfortable, and this place is so peaceful. There's so much good fortune here! I wish I could stay here forever; my magical power would grow even faster.]

Even the wife of a seasoned general, the former Princess Consort of Prince Jing, was somewhat stunned when she saw the little girl rubbing her mouth against her palm, yet heard her voice.

But then he sneered inwardly, "Does the Prince Jing's mansion have any good luck?"

Even if it did exist, how much of it would be left now?

Sensing her distraction, Jingjing tilted her head: "Grandma?"

Looking at the well-behaved and adorable Jingjing in front of her, the old lady's heart softened, and she reached out to hug her.

When Princess Jing returned after seeing off her three sons, this was the scene she saw. She smiled and walked in.

"Mother seems to be in a much better mood today."

There was still a smile on her lips.

[Wait, why does my mother-in-law's aura seem a bit sour? Could it be that she's been poisoned?]
