The Royal's Cute Little Wife

At this, Song shi once again thanked
Dara shi profusely.

Without that medicine, while Li Jungkook wouldn't have died, he definitely wouldn't have recovered so quickly either. Even worse, if the fever had continued the way it did before, there was no saying whether his brain cells would've been burnt or not. As such, Song shi was incredibly grateful towards Dara shi.

Shaking her head, Dara shi replied, "There's no need to thank me anymore. We're neighbours, and it was only right for me to help you." Looking down, she saw Li Jungkook bowing his head silently, and said, "Just now, Young Master Li said he was feeling unwell. Should we get a physician to look at him?"

Moved, Song shi stood up, pulling Li Jungkook up with her. "We are immensely thankful for Madame's care, but our Residence just so happens to have a physician. It's already quite late, so we will leave first."

They had visited for quite a while, till lunchtime.

Dara shi originally wanted them to stay and eat together, but unexpectedly they were insistent on leaving, so she didn't force them to remain.

When they were leaving, Xie Lisa suddenly came out of nowhere, clutching at Dara shi's thighs. Blinking her dark almond eyes, she looked at Song shicuriously.

The other time she hadn't visited the Li Residence with them, so Dara shi explained, "Little Lamb, this is Aunt Song."

Xie Lisa obediently greeted her, "Aunt Song."

A cute little dumpling suddenly appeared out of the blue, and Song shi almost couldn't bear to leave. The Xie Family was really blessed with good looks, every single one of them made other people feel ashamed.

Dara shi told her, "This is Young Master Li. He's older than you by half a year, so you should call him Big Brother."

Xie Lisa nodded, saying, "Big Brother Xiao Jungkook."

['Xiao' also means small, so she's actually making fun of him.]

Upon catching sight of her, Li Jungkook's face abruptly changed colour. He'd already embarrassed himself of her time after time, so he never wanted to see her again.

Seeing that her son was staying silent, Song shi laughed apologetically, saying, "kookie has been reticent since young, and doesn't like talking to people that much. Second Miss shouldn't find it too strange, sooner or later, after he becomes more familiar with you, then he'll talk more."

Xie Lisa didn't mind it one bit. "Big Brother Xiao Jungkook is very pretty, even when he doesn't speak he's still good-looking."

Li Jungkook looked like a disgruntled cat whose tail had been stepped on, and immediately glared at her.

When Song shi had left, Xie Lisa stood at the door and laughed, seeming to be unbelievably cute. After promising to visit soon for them to play again, Song shileft for the Li Residence.

The moment Li Jungkook reached home, he went into his room alone and changed his clothes. From then on, he decided resolutely to never interact with the Xie Family ever again. Especially not with that smelly girl. Even if she looked adorable, and no matter how good her singing was, he still didn't like her!

After sending off Song shi and Li Jungkook, Xie Lisa happily bounced back into the hall with Dara shi.

They hadn't reached the hall before Dara shi stopped and turned around. With an unscrutable look on her face she asked, "Little lamb, what exactly happened just now?"

Puzzled, Xie Lisa blinked. "What do you mean?"

Dara shi recalled Li Jungkook's earlier attitude, and the unfinished sentence that the Li maidservant had spoken before cutting herself off. "Did you meet Young Master Li before that?"

Xie Lisa honestly nodded, and pointed towards the side hallway. "I met him there."

Ah, that explained why Li Jungkook's behaviour had been so strange earlier. Her daughter must have provoked him, and eventually angered him. DAra shisighed heavily. Little lamb had been different since young, and was mischievous and naughty. Ah, never mind, she would act innocent and pitiful anyway, and even if she wanted to teach her a lesson she herself couldn't bear to do so.

In the beginning, Dara shi had actually assumed that the two children had a simple fight. But after Shuang Yu told her the truth, she realised it had been entirely different from what she had thought.

This, this Little Lamb...

No wonder Li Jungkook's face had been so pale when he left!

Poor child, she reckoned that the incident had left him with a rather bad impression...

Dara shi's guess was correct. In the next two months, whle Song shi had visited a number of times, there had been no sight of Li Jungkook.

Xie Lisa had even disappointedly asked, "Aunt Song, why hasn't Big Brother Xiao Jungkook come?"

Song shi thought of Li Jungkook's unyielding rejection, and smiled politely. "His health hasn't been too good these days, so he needs to stay home to rest."

Xie Lisa nodded sensibly, and didn't ask again.

Two months later, summer turned into autumn, and the weather became much more cool.

When Xie Jiyong had just arrived in Qing Zhou as an official, he had initially been very busy, but now that everything had been completed, he could finally spare some time to take a break. Just when he was thinking of bringing his whole family out to the countryside to look around, he received an invitation from the upper level of government. Gao Qing was a Military Scribe in the Central Governing Office, and his mother's 70th birthday celebration would be held in a couple days, so they had invited many officials in Qing Zhou to go.

They had just moved to Qing Zhou, and hadn't visited many places in the city. It just so happened that they could use this chance to network and get to know more people.

Xie Jiyong informed Dara shi of this, and Dara shi immediately started making preparations for the gifts and clothing.

On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, she woke the children up early in the morning. Xie Lisa still looked half-asleep, and burrowed into her mother's arms, mumbling, "Mother why is it so early..."

Dara shi pinched her face lightly, before having Shuang Yu and Shuang Yan bring her and Xie Yeri to bathe. She then picked out some clothes from the closet. That day was her daughters' first appearance in front of the nobility, and they definitely needed to dress up beautifully for it.
