The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 139 - 114: Calamity Strikes

What does Holy Mother mean, Qiao’er didn’t understand.

But her knees, she dared not bend them after all.

She stood timidly on the side, reflecting on herself.

And the Little Princess sat there, saying nothing, as if waiting for her to figure it out.

She held a small teacup and poured herself a cup of tea.

Qiao’er watched and watched, and suddenly seemed to grasp the meaning of Holy Mother.

"Um... Princess... Is Holy Mother... Is it because... because... Second Concubine poisoned you, yet you’re not angry... still thinking of saving her?"

Yun Chunnuan: "?"

Her hand holding the teacup trembled, almost failing to hold it steady.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward like that.

The words she wanted to lecture were stuck in her mouth, held back by the little girl’s innocent yet oh... not innocent, kind of strangely wicked eyes.

Yun Chunnuan coughed lightly, "Does that call for being a Holy Mother? This Princess can distinguish who’s good and who’s bad! You know that Lian Qiao is not truly evil, right? Otherwise, she wouldn’t be alive now and wouldn’t have suffered this great punishment. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

But you’re just a little girl, can you tell the difference? Speaking of Wu’er, did she frame you? You’re still dreaming of shielding her! Willing to be punished yourself! Is she worth dying to apologize for?!"

Qiao’er silently nodded in her heart: Oh, so the Princess is angry because of this.

She sniffed, "But, Princess, you don’t know, Wu’er is really pitiful, always being beaten by Second Concubine! Anyone would be angry at that! I guess Wu’er heard Fifth Concubine’s plan and deliberately lured that man, didn’t she also protect the Princess? Also..."

’Bang——’

The sound of slapping the table rang out, Qiao’er was startled.

She saw the Little Princess’s eyes gradually grow cold, "So, you think she did the right thing?"

"No!"

Qiao’er saw that the Little Princess was really angry and dared not show any joking expression.

Her voice trembling yet firm, "This servant does not think Wu’er did right! But she truly protected the Princess! Not letting the Princess get hurt is not fake!

Even if this matter is wrong, this servant must thank her!

This servant did not just want to shelter Wu’er, but kept quiet as a way to repay her!

Previously, this servant hesitated if doing this was right, but now, this servant feels everything is worth it!"

As she spoke, Qiao’er’s tears couldn’t stop flowing, "Everyone did not believe me, only the Princess believed... The Princess may not know, just now I even felt like smashing into a wall! But I want to protect the Princess! Because... the Princess is good to me!

My first time eating an egg was given by the Princess! My first time eating a chicken leg was given by the Princess! The first time sitting at the table with the Master, also the Princess gave! The first time..."

The little girl sobbed and said many first times.

Although most were related to food...

Yun Chunnuan’s heart was deeply touched.

She thought the girl was just for some laughable sisterly bond.

Others had framed her, yet this girl foolishly shielded her.

Isn’t this being a Holy Mother?

What the spineless said was all nice, the not-nice would call it shameless?

But Yun Chunnuan did not expect... it was actually for this reason...

She sighed helplessly, her tone both resigned and very gentle, "Silly girl, don’t you also trust me? Everyone thinks the Great Xia Princess is bad, but you believe it’s not me."

Qiao’er sniffled, "The General also believes the Princess! Trusts more than this servant!"

Doesn’t the Barbarian General trust, shouldn’t he?

Yun Chunnuan took a sip of tea, her face proud, "Of course, he’s my husband, if he didn’t trust me, I’d divorce him!"

Outside the door, Yelyu Lie’s steps suddenly paused.

He was rushing back, firstly to comfort his little wife. Secondly, to confirm something with her...

Qiao’er’s ears were sharp.

She heard footsteps outside, knowing surely the General was hastily returning because Fifth Concubine’s death had frightened the Princess, coming back quickly to comfort.

Both were so good, Qiao’er was happy inside.

Unable to resist covering her mouth and laughing, wanting to tease the Little Princess, "Princess, aren’t all generals your man? If you divorce the General, won’t you be sent back to Great Xia? Heard Central Plains people are very conservative, if a woman divorces, she’ll be treated like an abandoned woman, won’t you be mocked when you return to Great Xia?"
