By a twist of fate, the illegitimate son of the Marquis's family marries the county princess.

Chapter 328 The Overly Lively Lingjie

The next day, after getting up, Rui-ge'er went to see Ling-jie'er immediately.

Lingjie had just been dressed by the maids, her hair styled in two small buns, looking exquisitely beautiful and very cute.

Seeing Rui-ge walk in, Ling-jie's eyes lit up, and she immediately opened her arms: "Hug~"

Rui-ge'er skillfully hugged Ling-jie'er, then put her down and helped her stand up straight.

Rui-ge'er is young and not very strong. He can only lift Ling-jie'er up to his limit and cannot hold her for a long time.

Rui-ge looked at her: "Ling-jie, do you want to go find your mother?"

"Yes!"

Ling Jie nodded firmly.

"Then let's go together."

The maid picked up Lingjie and followed behind Ruige.

At this time, the inner room of the main house

Wen Zongji had already gone to work, and Pei Rujing had just gotten up, dressed up, and was about to have breakfast.

Seeing the brother and sister enter, Pei Rujing smiled and said, "You've come at the right time. Let's have breakfast together, and I'll take you to see your grandmother in a little while."

After saying that, Rui Ge'er went over and sat down, while Pei Rujing held Ling Jie'er in her arms.

Lingjie has been weaned and can eat some easily digestible food.

Lingjie was restless in Pei Rujing's lap, always looking around. Pei Rujing was feeding her when Lingjie suddenly turned her head, spilling all the porridge in the spoon.

Pei Rujing frowned: "Ling-jie!"

Seeing that Pei Rujing was angry, Ling'er immediately sat up straight, raised her little face and looked at Pei Rujing in a flattering way: "Mother~"

Pei Rujing said helplessly, "Mother is feeding you, don't move around."

Normally, feeding is something Pei Rujing doesn't need to do, but Lingjie is very difficult to please, so she will cooperate a little when Pei Rujing feeds her, but she will occasionally cause trouble.

Just like before.

After laboriously feeding Lingjie, Pei Rujing breathed a sigh of relief and pinched her cheek in annoyance: "Why do you like to move around so much?"

Why is Ling Jie'er so difficult to please?

It's because Lingjie is too active. She can't walk yet, but even though she can't walk, it doesn't stop her from sitting there and twisting her little body, making it impossible for the maids to feed her properly.

But Lingjie was somewhat afraid of Pei Rujing.

Whenever Pei Rujing gave her a cold look, Ling Jie'er dared not act recklessly.

Wen Zongji once sighed, "Thank goodness I still have my wife to keep Ling'er in check."

Children are much easier to manage if they have someone they're afraid of.

To be fair, Wen Zongji wasn't the type to spoil his child. He gave Rui Ge'er enough freedom because he believed Rui Ge'er could handle his own affairs.

Lingjie was lively and active, and also very good at reading people's expressions. Wen Zongji knew that if he let her have her way, she would cause a huge mess.

But for some reason, Lingjie was not afraid of Wen Zongji. Even when he deliberately put on a stern face, Lingjie was not afraid. She would smile sweetly at him and call out "Daddy" to soften Wen Zongji's heart.

In response, Pei Rujing retorted, "That's because you always soften your heart."

Lingjie was a clever little girl. She knew that Wen Zongji would be soft-hearted, so even though Wen Zongji looked scary when he had a stern face, she wasn't afraid.

Pei Rujing is different!

Pei Rujing has a bad temper. Even though she has matured a bit over the years, she still doesn't lose her temper often.

When Rui was young, he was too well-behaved, so Pei Rujing couldn't find a reason to get angry, and naturally she had no chance to establish her authority as a mother.

Now it's all being used on Ling Jie'er.

Ling Jie'er knew that when Pei Rujing was angry, she was truly angry and would punish her, so she was naturally a little afraid of Pei Rujing.

Therefore, whenever Pei Rujing was around, it was basically Pei Rujing who fed Ling Jie'er.

Ling'er, after being scolded by Pei Rujing, raised her little hand and hugged Pei Rujing: "Mother~"

This is always the case.

After being mischievous, she'll give you a sweet smile that makes you completely irritable.

After finishing breakfast, Pei Rujing glanced at Chen Dajia beside her and said, "Chen Dajia, from today onwards you no longer need to follow Rui Ge'er."

Chen Dajia paused in her drawing and looked up at Pei Rujing.

Pei Rujing said, "I will follow Ling-jie from now on."

Rui is already five years old, and there's no need to record his daily life all the time. He should have his own privacy.

Chen Dajia understood and replied, "Yes, Your Highness."

Rui-ge breathed a sigh of relief.

After he was old enough to remember things, he asked Pei Rujing why Master Chen always followed him.

Pei Rujing told him that Chen Dajia was recording his daily life, so that when he grew up, he could look back on his childhood through the paintings.

When Rui heard this, he thought it seemed like a good thing.

Until he had the strength to carry Lingjie, he started exercising. The first time he exercised, Ruige didn't control the intensity well. After the exercise, he felt like his legs were about to be ruined. On the way back, he had to move back little by little.

Then he discovered that Chen Dajia was drawing him.

Rui-ge'er had a bad feeling right then and there: "Master Chen, may I see your paintings?"

Chen Dajia readily agreed: "Of course."

So, Rui saw a picture of his own strange walking silhouette, which was quite vivid.

After a long silence, Rui asked in a tentative tone, "Can this painting be destroyed?"

Master Chen simply looked at him gently without responding.

Rui-ge'er understood.

He also understood why Pei Rujing had sent Chen Dajia to stay by his side.

No wonder Dad sometimes says that Mom is like a child who hasn't grown up, and that he should be more tolerant of her.

Thinking that only Pei Rujing and Wen Zongji would see these paintings, Rui Ge'er quickly convinced himself to accept them.

But when I heard Pei Rujing assign Chen Dajia to Ling Jie'er today, I couldn't help but feel relieved.

Even the most good-tempered person doesn't want their embarrassing past recorded.

Rui-ge glanced at Ling-jie, who was still unaware of the seriousness of the situation, silently mourned for his sister, and then asked, "Mother, may I see the painting that Master Chen painted for Ling-jie?"

Pei Rujing nodded: "Of course."

Rui Ge'er smiled.

Chen Dajia looked at the mother and son, then at Ling Jie'er who was so innocent that she knew nothing, and silently drew this scene.

……

After having breakfast, Pei Rujing took her two children to the Princess's residence.

The eldest princess was tending to the flowers in the backyard.

Perhaps because everything went so smoothly, the eldest princess became increasingly self-disciplined and rarely attended banquets anymore, instead tending to flowers and plants in her residence.

Upon seeing Pei Rujing and the other two, the eldest princess put down the scissors and took Ling'er from Pei Rujing's arms: "Ling'er, have you missed your maternal grandmother?"

"I want to~"

Not content with just saying that, Lingjie leaned over and kissed the Princess.

The princess beamed with joy: "Grandmother misses Ling'er too."
