Chapter 106 Find an excuse to stay
"This incident happened suddenly, and I was unable to stop Princess Lianhe from coming to the Governor's Mansion. But you can rest assured, Princess Lianhe has returned to the Princess Mansion early this morning." Ji Chilian said.
Shen Yubao, who was busy wiping his eyes, was stunned after hearing this.
Princess Lianhe left so soon! ?
Then how can he find an excuse to continue staying with Fairy Sister?
Shen Yubao's anxious little brain was spinning, but he couldn't think of any way to help him stay here.
"Can you come back with me now?" Seeing Shen Yubao hesitating and refusing to agree, Ji Chilian directly exposed him, "Shen Yubao, don't act so pitiful in front of me. You know better than me why you don't want to go back."
Princess Lianhe's coming to the Governor's Mansion was indeed an accident.
But he always tacitly allowed Shen Yubao to do whatever he wanted in the Governor's Mansion, so Princess Lianhe tried every means to please Yubao, but never succeeded.
Not only that, Princess Lianhe also suffered a lot of losses both openly and secretly.
Therefore, Shen Yubao might find it annoying, but he would never be forced to run away from home.
Unless he himself doesn't want to stay in the Governor's Mansion.
Shen Yubao's little head raced, but he couldn't find a better excuse, so he could only look to Yi Qianhuan for help.
Fairy sister, save me!
Yi Qianhuan was no match for Shen Yubao, and looked at Ji Chilian: "Lord Governor, in the past, the young master was in poor health and needed to rest in the Governor's Mansion all year round. But now that the young master has recovered, he should go out more often instead of being locked up in the mansion all the time. I see that the young master and Mo Bao get along very well. They are of similar age, so they can play together more often."
"What the Crown Prince's wife said is right. They both look to be of similar age. Speaking of which, Yi Mobao is one year younger than Yubao, but he is taller than Yubao. I wonder why?" Ji Chilian asked, seeming to suddenly change the subject.
Yi Qianhuan narrowed his eyes, then smiled calmly: "Mobao's good health is inherited from me! Lord Du, in addition to innate conditions, acquired efforts are also very important. The young master has been bedridden for more than a year, and his body is too weak. He also needs to go out to see the sun more often, so that he can gradually have a good body."
"Brother Mobao will play with me, practice martial arts with me, and teach me to read and write. Daddy, I like being with Brother Mobao." Shen Yubao quickly jumped down from Yi Qianhuan's arms, ran over and hugged Ji Chilian's thighs, "Dad, just let me stay here! That way, you don't have to worry about me when you are busy. Otherwise, every time Daddy goes out, I am always alone, it is really too lonely."
Ji Chilian's expression relaxed a little because of Shen Yubao's last words.
"The Crown Prince's wife is very busy on weekdays. If you stay here all the time, it will cause trouble for her." Ji Chilian said softly.
"You are too polite, Lord Du. You are Mo Bao's savior, so Mo Bao should take good care of the young master." When Yi Qianhuan said this, anticipation flashed in his eyes.
If this incident could directly offset the favor owed to Ji Chilian, it would be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
Yi Qianhuan’s idea was simple, but unfortunately Ji Chilian was not easy to fool.
"In that case, then when the Crown Prince's wife is free occasionally, let Yubao come and keep Mobao company." Ji Chilian never mentioned the life-saving favor that day from beginning to end.
The plan failed. When Yi Qianhuan saw Shen Yubao happily coming to her side, the feeling of loss in her heart disappeared.
Well, at least Ji Chilian agreed to her proposal.
This way, she can see Yubao more often in the future.
"Mother, you and Dugong have been talking for such a long time that you must be thirsty. I specially made tea for you and Dugong. Why don't you continue chatting after you finish your tea?" At this time, Yi Mobao came over with a tray.
When Yi Qianhuan saw this scene, a look of doubt appeared in his eyes.
Could it be that the sun rose from the west today?
Otherwise, why would Mo Bao be kind enough to make tea for Ji Chilian?
Vaguely sensing that something was wrong, Yi Qianhuan watched Yi Mobao place two cups of tea in front of himself and Ji Chilian respectively.
The two cups of tea had a tinge of green, and there was nothing wrong with looking or smelling them.
However, based on his understanding of Yi Mobao, Yi Qianhuan was certain that there must be something wrong with the tea.
She didn't want to get entangled with Ji Chilian too much, and she didn't want Ji Chilian to have more leverage over her.
While she was thinking this, Ji Chilian had already picked up the tea bowl.
The tea was steaming and exuding a mellow aroma.
Ji Chilian put the tea to his lips and glanced at Yi Mobao out of the corner of his eye.
Although the little boy's expression was calm, he still caught the flash of expectation in Yi Mobao's eyes.
"I don't want to drink tea today." Ji Chilian put down the tea bowl in his hand while speaking.
When Yi Mobao saw this scene, an expression of obvious annoyance appeared on his face.
Yi Qianhuan was surprised that Yi Mobao would use such a childish method, and then he saw Yi Mobao reluctantly bringing out another plate of pastries.
"Mother, this is the cake I made especially for you. Please have some with your tea."
When Yi Mobao served the pastries, he also poured a cup of tea for Shen Yubao.
Yi Qianhuan took in every subtle movement of his.
"Since the Governor doesn't want to drink tea, then have some cakes. These cakes are made by me, and you can't buy them outside." Yi Mobao said, pushing the cakes in the direction of Ji Chilian.
Ji Chilian looked at the pastries, then at the tea, and fell into deep silence.
"Daddy, why don't you eat?" Shen Yubao thought that his brother Mobao didn't like his dad very much.
If Daddy doesn't give Brother Mobao face anymore, will Brother Mobao hate him even more?
So Shen Yubao quickly picked up a piece of chestnut cake and brought it to Ji Chilian's lips: "Dad, Brother Mobao's cooking skills are really good, you should try it."
"Does the Governor dislike my craftsmanship?" Yi Mobao blinked his eyes in frustration, but in fact he was trying to hide the smirk that was spreading from his eyes.
He had known for a long time that Ji Chilian was very suspicious, so the tea he served at first contained not poison but antidote.
He guessed that Ji Chilian must be wary of him, so he put the poison in the pastries.
It was Ji Chilian who refused to drink tea, so if Ji Chilian got poisoned after eating the pastries, no one could be blamed.
Yi Qianhuan could see Yi Mobao's micro-expression at a glance.
This little thing is still so mean.
Realizing this, Yi Qianhuan did not intend to interfere.
Ji Chilian was able to guard against it, which naturally showed his ability.
But if Ji Chilian couldn't even see through a child's little tricks, then he deserved to be in trouble.
Yi Qianhuan had never seen Ji Chilian being plotted against or being humiliated before, so he was indeed somewhat interested.
