God-given mother: The villain cub is super clingy

Chapter 167 The Woman in Tinghe Cottage

"He's in the southwest. He's said to be seriously ill and has been recuperating."

Yu Lu's eyes lit up again. Yes! How could a man who had been recuperating in the southwest all year round come all the way here and get involved with a woman?

"However, no woman has ever entered the mansion, and she even lives in the Bishui Pavilion. The Bishui Pavilion is only separated from the prince's Qingshan Courtyard by a wall. It is not a place where ordinary people can live. Madam Ge would not be so rude!"

Yu Lu was not completely stupid. Her words made Yu Ming realize that he was right, so he did not refute them.

I felt a little bit annoyed for some reason.

The two of them no longer had the heart to feed the fish and just sat in the pavilion in silence.

After a while, Yu Lu sighed softly.

"Actually, I'm exhausted! If the prince is willing to let me go, I'd be happy to leave! It's better than being trapped in this world!"

"Thinking back to when we were serving in the palace, although we worried every day about not doing our job well and losing our heads, we would eventually be released from the palace when we reached a certain age, so we still had something to look forward to. Here, I feel like there's nothing to look forward to at all!"

Yuming glanced at her, with a look of disappointment in his eyes.

"You! How can serving in the palace compare to what we have now? We used to be just servants, but in this Southwest Prince's Palace, even if the prince never took us seriously, we are still the masters after all. We have servants under our command, we don't have to worry about food and clothing, and we get a monthly allowance."

"Besides, the prince has yet to marry, not even a concubine. You and I were given to him by His Majesty, so there may be a chance. As long as the prince still cares about His Majesty's face, we can't say that there is no hope at all!"

"You! Can't you think of something positive?"

Yu Lu looked tired, with no fighting spirit in her eyes, and she was very discouraged.

"You say it nicely, but we can't see the prince all year round. Even if we have all the skills, we can't use them!"

"Also, the prince knows that we are His Majesty's people. If he is dissatisfied with His Majesty's actions, he will not see us at all. Isn't it the same in recent years?"

These words made Yuming speechless. These people stayed in this courtyard for nothing. Apart from providing them with food, clothing, shelter, and three meals a day, they could not even go out of the house. Only during festivals could they ask Madam Ge to let them go out for a walk on the street.

No matter how well they dressed up, no one would look at them! As time went by, the two of them didn't want to go out anymore!

Staying in this small world is like wasting time like a canary in a cage.

The arrival of this woman in the mansion undoubtedly threw a stone into the calm surface of their lake, causing ripples in their hearts.

"I still think that woman's origins are unknown. Just from the attitude of Ye Er and the three maids towards her, it is clear that she is not simple. Even if she is a guest of the palace, it does not mean that she can live in the Bishui Pavilion!"

"You're right. We must be extremely vigilant and keep a close eye on their movements. What if the prince comes back? We must be patient and not let anything go wrong!"

Yu Ming's eyes were determined. If it was true as Yu Lu said, they would still have one chance to fight!

"Yu Lu, do you understand? We only have this one chance!"

Yu Lu looked at her blankly for a moment, and then her mind suddenly became clear. Yes! Instead of staying here with no hope, it’s better to give it a try!

So he nodded at her.

"I see!"

As they were talking, a bird suddenly flew in from outside the yard. The bird seemed to be injured. It stumbled for a while and then landed on the grass outside the pavilion with a "thump".

It scared the people in the pavilion.

"Huh? What is this? It's not a real bird!"

The servants outside the pavilion looked over curiously and saw that what had fallen to the ground was a wooden bird. It was made very lifelike, but it seemed that something was not done well and it could not fly very high.

Yuming and Yulu were also drawn in. Looking at the fake bird, they were surprised. How could such a thing exist in the palace? It was clearly a child's toy!

While I was wondering, one, two, three, four little heads appeared from the top of the wall.

The four men had been observing quietly for a while, and when they saw there were two such beautiful women in the yard, they immediately became curious.

"Pretty sister, that little bird is ours, can we come in and take it?"

Yuming and Yulu looked over when they heard the sound and were stunned!

Wow! Where did these four cute, good-looking and sweet-mouthed little gentlemen come from?

Oh! I think they're the four they were talking about just now? The four children of the woman who moved into the mansion?

Yuming smiled brightly. Wasn't this a perfect opportunity to get some information? He immediately pretended to be very interested.

"Oh! So this little bird is yours! It's okay, come in and get it!"

The four little heads immediately shrank back, and soon, servants brought the four little masters to the pavilion.

Yu Lu had already instructed the servants to place several exquisite snacks on the table.

The damaged "bird" was placed on the table.

"Pretty sister, can I take it?"

Erlang is the sweetest and cute, and the way he speaks is so adorable that it can melt people's hearts.

Yu Lu quickly picked up the bird and placed it in his hand. "Of course, you guys must be tired from playing. I have a lot of delicious snacks here. Why don't you take a break and have some snacks here?"

Erlang hesitated for a moment and looked back at Dalang.

Yu Lu quickly invited the remaining three men, "What are your names? Do you want some snacks?"

"Mom said we can't eat anything given by strangers!"

Sanlang licked his lips and waved his hands repeatedly. Dalang and Silang also lowered their heads and didn't look at the snacks on the table.

Yuming was observing their performance from the side and had an idea in his mind. He immediately picked up a plate of snacks and placed it in front of the men.

"It's okay. This is the Southwest Palace. You live here too. We are family, not strangers!"

Dalang nodded at them.

"Beautiful sister is right, we are one family!"

With Dalang's permission, Erlang took the lead and put one in his mouth, "Delicious!"

Seeing that Erlang and Dalang had eaten, Yuming felt relieved. He praised them in a gentle manner, calling them "little masters" one by one, which made the men smile. After a while, he became familiar with them.

Saburo and Silang were very interested in the fish in the pond.

"Wow, there are so many fish here! Are these fish raised by my beautiful sister?"

Yu Lu hurried over with the fish food and tried to please them with the fish.

"You've never seen such beautiful fish! These fish are called Koi. The prince bought them for us and kept them in this pond specifically to help us pass the time! If you like, you can feed them!"
