Chapter 18.2 (2/2)

The little boy fell on his bottom. He didn’t hurt his bottom but the little girl’s loud scold scared him and he cried.

Pei Jin picked up the little boy and consoled the little boy.

‘Thirteenth brother, what are you doing here?’ Pei Jin asked.

Heavens! Yan Shi Ning didn’t expect the little boy was Pei Jin’s youngest brother, Pei Khan.

The last time Yan Shi Ning visited the palace, Consort La was pregnant so she didn’t see Consort La and Pei Khan.

‘Wen Cai!’ Pei Zhang called coldly.

‘Father… seventh father,’ the little girl said.

Suddenly Consort La and Pei Zhang’s wife Jing Thi ran toward their children.

Consort La was relieved Pei Khan wasn’t hurt. ‘Pei Khan, why did you run here? Before weren’t you playing with little Wen Cai?’

Consort La and Pei Khan were walking in the palace gardens when they bumped into Jing Thi and Pei Wen Cai. So Consort La let Pei Khan play with Pei Wen Cai while she gossiped with Jing Thi. After a while she and Jing Thi couldn’t see Pei Khan and Pei Wen Cai in the gardens and panicked.

‘Hit, Hit!’ Pei Khan said and looked at Pei Wen Cai.

Pei Khan wanted to say he ran away because Pei Wen Cai hit him in the gardens. But he couldn’t speak clearly and could only look accusingly at Pei Wen Cai. He silently cursed the rotten egg Pei Wen Cai who always bullied him.

Pei Wen Cai could speak clearer and denied she hit Pei Khan. ‘Nonsense, I didn’t hit you!’

Pei Khan buried his head in Pei Jin’s chest because Pei Wen Cai’s tone was too scary.

Yan Shi Ning wondered why two three-year-old children were the same age but were treated differently by their family members. Pei Khan was a prince yet he was fearful of seventh prince’s daughter.
