OMG! Tyrant's Pampered Baby Is a Valued Princess-Chapter 500: Different Expressions of a Mother’s Love
Bai Wang walked with his feet, following beside Bai Xuanmo.
"Does the Princess like flowers? There’s a Bai Lan flower in the manor, just bloomed. If the Princess wants to see it, I can lead the way."
Bai Zhi’er’s voice was soft and sweet, her round face adorable: "No, I want to stay with Brother."
At this moment, Aunt Qiao also arrived with two male servants from the manor.
She instructed, "The Young Master requires a bamboo, go cut one."
After speaking, she turned around and saw her son tailing happily behind Bai Xuanmo and Bai Zhi’er.
Aunt Qiao was taken aback, and immediately called out loudly, "Bai Wang! You little rascal, I told you to study, why are you loafing around here again!"
Bai Wang shrank his neck instinctively after being scolded by his mother.
He tried to hide behind Bai Xuanmo: "I’m accompanying the Young Master and Princess on a tour of the garden!"
Aunt Qiao frowned, "No need for you! Hurry back and stop causing trouble!"
Bai Xuanmo’s pale face, like jade, now revealed a gentle smile.
"Aunt Qiao, your son is quite good, at such a young age, he’s already helping guard the garden for me."
"He seems like a bright kid too. If he studies hard, he can even aim for honors in the future."
Aunt Qiao’s face was awkward, "The Young Master jests, Bai Wang is actually quite slow. The civil exams are beyond his dreams."
"I just hope he learns to read, understands the ledger, and in the future, with Your Highness’s grace, he could stay at the manor as an accountant or housekeeper; that would be his blessing."
Bai Xuanmo smiled without replying. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Aunt Qiao seized the moment to pinch Bai Wang’s ear.
"Look at you, the clothes I’ve just washed are dirty again, jumping around like a naughty monkey all day!"
"Quickly change your clothes, wash your face clean, then come back to serve the Young Master and the Princess!"
Saying that, she gently kicked Bai Wang, and the little boy scurried off holding his bottom.
Bai Zhi’er watched curiously, her big, round, dark eyes blinking.
"Brother," she asked softly, "Is Aunt Qiao Bai Wang’s real mother? Why does she scold and kick him?"
Bai Xuanmo couldn’t help but chuckle at her words, a warmth appearing in his brows.
He turned to the little one and said, "No mother doesn’t love her child; it’s just different expressions."
"Aunt Qiao is a clever person, but Bai Wang is young, she probably fears he might say something wrong and incur our displeasure."
"So sending him off is also a way to protect him. The scolding isn’t real, but the love is."
In Bai Zhi’er’s glistening big eyes, there was a look of understanding.
Oh, so this is also a way to express maternal love.
The little one suddenly felt a bit envious of Bai Wang.
The servants cut the felled bamboo into strips for Tang yuan to gnaw on.
Bai Zhi’er cradled Tang yuan and followed Bai Xuanmo to the front hall, having a meal at the manor on the way.
Tang yuan munched through three bamboo strips, eventually lying on the ground with its fluffy white belly up, dozing lazily.
No matter how much Bai Zhi’er prodded it, it seemed content and full, unwilling to move.
Bai Xuanmo stood by with arms crossed, watching, and suddenly laughed.
"In this way, Tang yuan is quite similar to little sister."
The little one raised her fair face and huffed indignantly, "Zhi’er won’t lie around showing her belly after eating!"
Soon, the dishes were served.
After all, the manor was near the mountains, and the food was mostly mountain mushrooms.
Qiao Niang personally cooked, crafting a creamy, fresh bone soup with the mushrooms; it had a unique flavor.
Bai Zhi’er ate two small bowls of rice, then leaned back in the chair, her small stomach full.
"Aunt Qiao’s skills are really amazing! Not worse than the Uncle Imperial Chefs in the palace."
