Chapter 5 The Bad Dad Comes Back to Steal the Child
There was originally a small kitchen in Princess Chaoyang's courtyard, but in order for the family to eat together every day, they all used the big kitchen in the princess's mansion. Therefore, if someone wanted to tamper with the food, it would be hard to prevent.

"Yes, Princess, I'll go now." Yuan Xiang looked at Princess Chaoyang worriedly again, then quickly left the house.

"Juxiang, you go out and keep watch." Princess Chaoyang just wants to be alone.

Juxiang didn't want to go out. She was a little worried about Princess Chaoyang, but she was afraid of making the princess even more unhappy, so she had to bow and leave.

However, before Juxiang could leave for a moment, she came back into the house, "Princess, Princess, the consort is back."

As soon as Juxiang finished speaking, the prince consort Xu Jinhuai hurried in.

"Qing'er, I'm sorry, I'm back late." Xu Jinhuai's voice was full of guilt, and his eyes were filled with affection as he looked at Princess Chaoyang.

After saying this, he held Princess Chaoyang's hand and said with concern: "Qing'er, you have worked hard and gave birth to another child for me."

Princess Chaoyang's maiden name was Di Huanqing. Xu Jinhuai always liked to call her Wei Qing'er, and Princess Chaoyang also liked Xu Jinhuai calling her that, because every time Xu Jinhuai called her Qing'er, he would be particularly gentle and affectionate.

But now, hearing Xu Jinhuai calling her like this, Princess Chaoyang felt very sad.

She wanted to ask Xu Jinhuai about his mistress, but the matters of eating and swapping children had not been clarified yet. She was afraid of alerting the enemy, so she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Princess Chaoyang forced a weak smile, "It's okay, the prince consort must have been tripped up by something."

Seeing Princess Chaoyang say this, Xu Jinhuai quickly went down the slope, "I was indeed tripped up by something. The Ministry of Works has an urgent matter that I must handle personally."

Perhaps because he felt a little guilty, Xu Jinhuai did not notice that Princess Chaoyang changed her address to him from "husband" to "prince consort".

Princess Chaoyang loved Xu Jinhuai deeply, so after getting married, she had been getting along with him like an ordinary couple, and always addressed him as husband.

Princess Chaoyang looked into Xu Jinhuai's eyes and found that even when he lied, his eyes were still so gentle and affectionate.

No wonder, no wonder she was deceived by him before. Princess Mingyang felt sad in her heart.

"Qing'er, where is our little daughter? Bring her over to me and let me see her." This was the main reason why Xu Jinhuai was in a hurry to return home.

He and Yu Yue'er waited for a long time in the house next door, but the wet nurse never came over with the child. They guessed that something had happened, so they hurried back home. Sure enough, they saw that the midwife and the wet nurse had been driven into the yard, shivering with cold.

When Princess Chaoyang heard her husband mention her youngest daughter, her heart softened a little.

She thought, if the prince consort saw how delicate and lovely her little daughter was, would he give up the idea of ​​changing the child?
After all, they have been in love for many years, and she doesn't believe that her husband is really so heartless.

So he looked at Juxiang and said, "Go and see if the Second Miss has woken up. If she has, ask Mammy to bring her over."

Although Juxiang was dissatisfied with the prince consort because of the affair with the concubine, she noticed that the princess's complexion was obviously much better after the prince consort came back, so she guessed that the princess still wanted the prince consort to accompany her.

She quickly went to the room inside and asked the nanny to carry out Xu Yaoyao, who had just woken up.

Xu Jinhuai quickly stood up, took the child, held him in front of the princess, and said happily: "Qing'er, this is our little daughter."

"Look how cute our little daughter is, with big eyes. She looks just like you."

But what I was actually thinking was that these newborns all looked the same, as if they had not fully grown yet.

Although her eyes are bigger than Yu's, the newborn baby changes every day, and you can't really tell if you don't look closely. Xu Ruyu is the child born to Yu Yue'er today. Xu Jinhuai and Yu Yue'er had already thought of a name for her, Xu Ruyu, which means precious and beautiful, which shows how much they love her.

Princess Chaoyang watched Xu Jinhuai holding his little daughter carefully, and her expectations grew even stronger.

It seems that the prince consort likes this child. Just as she was about to say something to Xu Jinhuai, her daughter's voice rang in her ears again.

[Our little daughter? Could this person be my scumbag father-in-law? ]

Xu Yaoyao looked at the face so close to her. It was indeed a man of refined temperament and extraordinary appearance, especially his eyes. They were deep and affectionate when he looked at people. It was indeed easy for a woman to fall for him. No wonder he was able to trick the princess into his hands and coax her for so many years.

It's a pity to have such a nice appearance but not do anything useful.

[No, shouldn't the scumbag dad be at the mistress's place right now? Why did he suddenly come back? ]

[Will he come back to steal from me? ]

[That must be it. The concubine couldn't wait for the nanny to carry me over, so she asked him to come back to check the situation.]

[Oh no, oh no, I'm still in his arms, what if he just walks away with me in his arms? ]

[Mother, help me]

Xu Yaoyao struggled with her hands and feet, and took the opportunity to wave her little hands towards Xu Jinhuai's face, slapping him several times in the face, taking the opportunity to vent her mother's anger.

Xu Jinhuai suddenly became angry. He pressed Xu Yaoyao's little hand hard, his eyes full of displeasure.

Although this child is good-looking, he is not docile at all and is really unlikable.

But because the princess was right in front of him, he couldn't get angry and just held Xu Yaoyao lower.

Princess Chaoyang's face changed slightly when she heard her little daughter's voice. She quickly stretched out her hand and said, "My daughter is being naughty again. Let me hold her."

Xu Yaoyao's eyes lit up instantly, yes, yes, mother, hug me!
Unexpectedly, Xu Jinhuai cleverly dodged Princess Chaoyang's hand and said with eyes full of love: "This is my youngest daughter you gave birth to. I haven't hugged her enough."

The prince consort never rushed to hold the four children before. What’s wrong with him?
Thinking of her little daughter's thoughts, Princess Chaoyang couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Could it be that her little daughter was right? Did the prince consort come back to steal the child?

Seeing this, Xu Yaoyao became even more certain that her scumbag father had come back to steal her.

No, she had to save herself, so she burst into tears, her cry was so loud that Xu Jinhuai's head felt swollen from crying.

Princess Chaoyang took the opportunity to say, "I think you just came back from outside and you feel cold, which makes your daughter feel uncomfortable. Let me hold you."

"How can you do that? You just gave birth to a child and you are still very weak. What if your daughter accidentally kicks you down?" Xu Jinhuai seemed to feel sorry for Princess Chaoyang, but in fact he refused again.

He looked outside the door and continued, "My daughter is crying like this, I guess she's hungry. I'll take her to the nurse to feed her."

Hearing these words, Princess Chaoyang's heart instantly turned cold.
