Chapter 161 Being a Mother is Strong
The Hua family held a full moon banquet and they were able to invite the regent of the current dynasty?
Amid the shock of the guests, Xiao Zheng walked into the inner hall with a dignified manner and sat at the main table. He greeted everyone to take a seat as if he were the male host of the house.
Hua Niaoniao kept hypnotizing herself that this person had nothing to do with her and she didn't need to care about him. She tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, and her eyes turned red.
Hua Ruling saw through her thoughts at a glance. "Niao Niao, go into the inner room and take good care of mother and brother."
"Father!" Hua Niaoniao looked up and saw the kindness in his eyes, which made her feel relieved. She deliberately glanced at the Regent, fearing that he would attack her again.
"It's okay. This isn't the first time I've dealt with him. Be good and go in."
"Okay, I'll be back soon." She didn't have time to be sad, she had to hurry and settle her mother.
Lin Wei has led his men into the inner courtyard, but a strange formation has been set up in the courtyard, making it difficult for them to escape for the time being, which gives Hua Niaoniao time.
Mrs. Wu was playing with Xiaobao in the house. After waiting for the banquet to start, she took her son out to meet the guests.
Xiaoyu and Zhu'er have basically recovered to their former selves during this period, no longer acting like children. They both sensed the movement outside the house and were secretly on guard, but they did not show it on their faces.
Shi Hu was going to guard outside the door, so he made an excuse: "Madam, I'll go see if there's anyone outside who needs help."
Wu nodded gratefully. There were many more people around her recently. They were all Hua Miaomiao's friends. They were obviously great people, but they did things for an ordinary person like her every day. She felt very sorry.
"You stay in the house with your wife."
He deliberately emphasized the word "inside the house". As soon as he opened the door, Hua Niaoniao rushed in.
Wu looked at her in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Mother, that man is coming, please leave with me."
Wu's breath was choked, and in an instant, she seemed to be in a sea of fire, the fire spread, and she screamed. Her whole body was stiff and she couldn't move at all.
"Mother?" Hua Niaoniao walked forward and held Wu's trembling hands.
Mrs. Wu looked at her worried eldest daughter, then looked down at her sleeping youngest son. In an instant, she felt an invisible force filling her heart, enough to support her to face everything.
She picked up Xiao Bao and handed him to Hua Niaoniao. "I want to see him."
"Mother?"
"Don't worry, I will have a good talk with him. I'm tired and don't want to hide anymore. Besides, we can hide, but can the Hua and Ge families hide? Can the inheritance passed down by our ancestors be thrown away just like that?"
Hua Niaoniao understood that what her mother said was not without reason. Since she had made the decision, as a daughter, she would definitely stand firmly behind her.
Hua Miaomiao and the other two stood stealthily in the banquet hall, watching the tense exchange between Hua Ruling and the Regent.
"I am here today to honor you. After today, your Hua family's reputation will surely rise to a higher level. If you want to restore the Hua family's former reputation, I can ask His Majesty to personally confer the title of the world's number one family on the Hua family."
The elders of the Hua family at the main table all took a deep breath. What a great honor this was. Although Hua Niaoniao was very capable, she was not able to lead the Hua family to regain the glory of the Hua Yao period as predicted. If the Hua family could be blessed by the regent, it would be a great gift from heaven.
"Hua is terrified and cannot bear it."
"It's okay. Right now, I just want my husband and I to live in harmony, have children around me, and enjoy the happiness of family. I hope Master Hua can fulfill my wish."
His words were like a stone dropped into a deep pool, stirring up ripples. Xiao Zheng was a swaggering presence, and this attracted everyone's attention.
The eerie atmosphere was broken by a baby's babbling sound. When Hua Miaomiao saw that it was her little brother coming out, she couldn't wait to go forward and tease him. He was so small and cute!
Hua Ruling didn't understand why Hua Niaoniao came out with her little son in her arms, and asked hurriedly, "Where's your mother?"
"When my mother woke up this morning, she felt unwell. Maybe she caught a cold last night. She was afraid that it would be inappropriate for her to come out, so she asked me to carry my brother out."
It is normal for a woman who has just finished her confinement to feel weak, and everyone expressed their understanding.
Xiao Zheng looked at the baby in the cradle, his eyes full of resentment and anger.
"Is this your brother?"
Hua Niaoniao was frightened by his eyes. She was a little nervous and tightened her hands unconsciously. Xiaobao was held tightly by her and struggled uncomfortably. He waved his hands towards the void while babbling.
Hua Miaomiao found this interesting and, taking advantage of the fact that no one could see, she poked his little round face with her hands and pinched his little fleshy hands, making Xiaobao make faces and run towards her.
Xiao Zheng looked at the little hand reaching out to him, and felt a little touched. He didn't expect that this child would get along with him. He couldn't help but think, was Miaomiao also so cute when she was a child?
"I heard that the prince has read a lot of medical books and has a lot of knowledge about medical theory. I am so bold as to ask the prince to treat my mother."
Asking the most distinguished and powerful prince of our dynasty to see a doctor? Let alone mentioning this matter, others dare not even think about it. But he still agreed happily.
"Could it be that the prince has taken a fancy to the eldest daughter of the Hua family?"
"It's possible. If you listen to what he said, he even asked the old man to make it happen."
"This is truly an incredible amount of wealth."
Ge Qingcheng sat at the second table, listening to the speculations of the people around him, his face became more and more ugly. He didn't know the relationship between the Hua family and the regent, and watching the regent's various behaviors, he felt that this speculation was more credible.
He looked at Hua Niaoniao eagerly, hoping to get a response. Unfortunately, Hua Niaoniao had no energy to look at him. She handed her younger brother to her father and took the regent to the inner courtyard.
Xiao Zheng followed all the way and was in a good mood. He couldn't help but chat with Hua Niaoniao.
"Is your mother doing well these years?"
"The couple is harmonious and the daughter is filial, which is great."
The regent was a little upset. He looked at the environment in the courtyard and deliberately found fault: "This environment is too simple and has no taste at all."
Seeing that Hua Niaoniao ignored him, he continued, "Your father is in his prime, but he indulges in pleasure and leaves the burden of the family to you without considering you at all. It's really sad."
Hua Miaomiao followed and listened all the way. Not only was the Regent noisy, he even tried to sow discord.
Hua Niaoniao paused, turned around suddenly and glared at him fiercely.
"Your Highness, please be careful with your words." Hua Niaoniao bit her back teeth and spoke word by word.
Her angry yet forbearing look made Xiao Zheng a little dazed. It was too familiar. Where had he seen it before?
He couldn't bear to make her angry any longer, so he changed the subject.
"I know you have a deep relationship with your mother. Don't worry, after she returns to Beijing with me, you can come to the palace to accompany her at any time. If you want, it's okay to stay for a long time. Because you are Miaomiao's sister, I am willing to treat you as my own daughter."
"Heh!" Hua Niaoniao sneered. She really couldn't say anything to him, so she could only turn around and continue leading the way.
Hua Miaomiao wiped her sweat secretly. Very good. The Regent had single-handedly built another wall on the road to recognizing his daughter.
When they arrived at the door of the house, Hua Niaoniao opened the door for Xiao Zheng, brought him in, and then closed the door.
Her mother said she wanted to talk to him alone, so she obediently walked away.
Suddenly, she felt something passing by her. This feeling surrounded her for a while, and this time, she was sure it was not an illusion.
Hua Niaoniao made a gesture and pushed forward, and with a "ouch", a white shadow appeared out of thin air in front of her.
"You bold monster, do you think you can just barge into my Hua family?"
"No, no, sis, it's me."
Hua Niaoniao heard Hua Miaomiao's voice and asked her, "When did you wake up? Why are you dressed like this?"
The last time Pi Fu was urgently recalled, she sent back a message: Miaomiao is fine, don't worry. Hua Niaoniao always thought she was still asleep.
"It's okay, I just gained a little weight."
Hua Niaoniao was worried and lifted her veil. This... is a little bit fatter.
Hua Miaomiao quickly put his hat back on, and explained to his sister: "It's okay, you will recover soon."
Hua Niaoniao suppressed her shock and thought, okay, there are so many great gods watching her, and if they say everything is fine, then it must be fine.
Just because Hua Niaoniao obeyed her mother's arrangements didn't mean Hua Miaomiao would be so obedient. She quietly sneaked to the door and eavesdropped on what was happening inside.
Inside the house, Xiao Zheng looked at Wu, unable to speak for a long time. Before he came, he had prepared a lot of things to say to her, but after seeing her, he felt that just looking at her like this, his restless heart was already soothed.
