Chapter 1144: Chapter 1140: Uncle Eats Children
Yue Lian’s heart was scalded for a moment.
For the first time, she saw that his gaze was not cold, not machine-like without emotion; it was fervent, glossy, utterly mesmerizing.
Her heartstrings tightened, her lips trembling slightly, “No… no need to be polite, later, I will find another way to have the empress prepare medicine for you.”
“Thank you.” Zi Wei said to her again.
When Yue Lian left his room, she covered her chest with her hand, where her emotions surged heatedly.
Tears of excitement spilled over on her fair and delicate face, “He spoke so much to me for the first time.”
“Miss.” The old steward stayed by her side, sighing deeply, “You are infatuated! The man in your heart still belongs to another, what is there for you to be happy about?”
In ordinary women, this would have been heartbreakingly sad, wouldn’t it have caused her to make a scene several times a day?
What is there for Yue Lian to be happy about?
“You don’t understand, Zi Wei only knows how to wield a knife and kill; he lacks a sense of security. The empress is his sense of security. As long as we can keep him feeling secure, less anxious, he will realize that there are people in this world who care about him, who love him.”
With tearful eyes, Yue Lian felt the challenge of what she knew she had to do.
She wanted to teach Zi Wei, to let him know that she loved him too, more than he could imagine.
She could give him the sense of security as well.
She believed that one day she would achieve it.

After Su Yingxue had been busy at the clinic all day, she was tired but fulfilled. Returning to Song Garden, she threw herself into Chu Yihan’s arms, “Hubby, hug me!”
Chu Yihan’s eyes slightly curved upwards as he picked her up sideways, seeing her nestle in his arms cuddly, he felt a warm satisfaction as he pecked her lips twice, “Did you have a happy busy day today?”
“Absolutely delighted! I’ve experienced the joy of ‘mothering the world’ today!”
This was far more pleasant than being cooped up in the palace daily, seeing the concubines pay their respects and looking over the palace’s account books!
She still loved her old profession!
Chu Yihan was happy for her too; he carried her back to their small courtyard where they saw Chu Yifeng at the entrance, playing with little creatures and Shan Bao.
He dangled a little creature up and down in his hand, which made Shan Bao grunt and sharpen its claws in irritation.
“Roar!”
“Ao——”
As Shan Bao continued to make noise, Chu Yifeng, without putting the little creature down, lifted it over his head and taunted Shan Bao, “Do you think I fear the tiger? If you dare, jump up and snatch him!”
“Ao——Ao——Ao!”
Shan Bao was furious, wanting to bite someone; such an utterly shameless wretch!
His little creature, just to be being dangled about for amusement?
Damn!
“Chu Yifeng, put my son down!”
The moment Su Yingxue leapt down from Chu Yihan’s arms, she darted over to snatch her child.
“Wow!”
The little creature, seeing his mother soar over like a graceful red glow, thought she looked stunning!
“Ah ah ah!”
But his uncle was quite reckless, lifting him away again; everything spun around, and he felt like vomiting.
“Mom, dizzy.”
Pitifully, he reached out his hands to Su Yingxue while still struggling in Chu Yifeng’s grip.
No matter how Chu Yifeng lacked pity for children, a slap landed on his bottom, “Stop moving, or I might let you slip and you’d fall and smash into a meat pie on the ground.”
“Ah? … Wah wah wah! Mom! Dad! Save me!”
Damn, his uncle was eating children!
That was too terrifying!
He didn’t want to be a meat pie!
“Chu Yifeng, have you lost your mind? If you dare hurt my son, I will cut off your dog head!” Su Yingxue rolled up her sleeves and charged at Chu Yifeng.
