Chapter 632: The Fairy Sister’s Candy, Eating It Brings Fulfillment of Wishes

Jin Xiang said, "My family has not encountered any changes, it’s just... it’s just that I had a moment of ill intent. Because the second young master had been to Miss Seven’s room before, and his reputation was already tarnished. If something goes missing, not only would Second Young Master be suspected, but also the Grand Lady and Duke would immediately suspect him. I thought, this matter would definitely be pinned on Second Young Master, so I became bold enough to act..."

After speaking, she hurriedly knocked her head on the ground in fear.

"Grand Lady, Duke, it was my fault, please forgive me this time! I will never dare again!"

"Forgive you?" Chu Hanming was both wronged and furious, tears streaming down his face. "This maid is so vicious! Mother and elder brother almost disowned me, she should be punished severely!"

Lady Tian, feeling guilty, used a handkerchief to wipe Chu Hanming’s tears.

"Alright, now that your innocence is proven, it’s fine. You’ve done similar things in the past, so people just took advantage of that," she said. "As for how to deal with her, the Grand Lady and elder brother will decide, don’t make a fuss."

Chu Hanming stood up with Lady Tian’s support. Though he didn’t speak, his mouth was still pouting, like a big child who had lost a fight and was looking for support at home.

Chu Hanlin was infuriated, his face cold as ice.

The household had seen thefts before, but Jin Xiang had dared to scheme against her masters, her audacity was too great.

To put it bluntly, even though his incompetent brother had been separated from the family, as long as his brother had done nothing wrong, no one else should bully him.

So, he turned to Grand Lady and said, "Mother, Jin Xiang may have been in the household for a long time, but her schemes and behavior are truly detestable. She cannot be lightly forgiven."

"Grand Lady..." Jin Xiang’s gaze was full of pleading. "I know I was wrong, I... I..."

Grand Lady didn’t want to hear her begging for mercy anymore and said, "Send her to the authorities. Let them decide how to punish her."

Jin Xiang was dragged away.

Chu Hanming was still crying, which made everyone feel a bit awkward, as nearly everyone had thought Chu Hanming had taken the pearl and sold it earlier.

"Mother..." Chu Hanming glanced at Grand Lady out of the corner of his eye, hoping she would apologize first.

To his surprise, Grand Lady adjusted her clothes and said calmly, "Go wash your face. Chief nanny, have the kitchen prepare more of the dishes Second Young Master likes."

Chu Hanming pouted, muttering, "It’s always like this. When I make a mistake, you’re so strict with me. Now I’m wrongfully accused, and you just brush it off with a sentence."

Grand Lady glared at him, "What? Do you want me to kneel and apologize to you? Do you think you deserve that?"

Chu Hanming was actually trying to take advantage of the situation.

He thought he should move back in.

But at this moment, Chu Nanying stepped forward, "Father, let me help you clean up."

She had said some harsh words earlier, but now that the matter was cleared up, a smile returned to her face.

In her room, Chu Hanming still sat there, looking aggrieved.

Lady Tian handed him a clean towel.

When he didn’t take it, she said irritably, "Why are you being so petty? You’re not a child anymore."

"You all don’t believe me, you’ve wronged me!" Chu Hanming said. "You’re my closest person, yet you’re the same! It’s even worse than the Prince and A’Li!"

Lady Tian humored him, "Yes, yes, I was confused for a moment and didn’t trust your father enough. Fortunately, Prince and A’Li were here, otherwise, you would’ve really been harmed by Jin Xiang."

She helplessly wiped his face, cleaned his hands, and brushed off the dust on his clothes.

Chu Nanying also apologized, "I’m sorry, father..."

She lowered her head, fiddling with her fingers.

Chu Hanming didn’t want to stay angry with his daughter. He patted her head and said, "I’ve already changed. Don’t keep saying you hate me, my heart almost shattered back then. Luckily, you apologized, and now my heart is whole again."

Chu Nanying laughed, looking up at him with a smiling face, "As long as father isn’t mad at me, I’m happy."

Chu Hanming sighed, "Ah, your mother is right, it’s also my own fault..."

He thought for a moment and then said, "Today, thanks to your sixth sister’s talisman, otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to clear my name. Ying’er, you should respect her in the future, okay?"

Chu Nanying blinked.

"Then father should thank sixth sister, right?"

This was something Second Brother often said.

Saying it was one thing, but showing gratitude through tangible acts, like giving gold, was what mattered.

Chu Hanming choked, laughing dryly, "You still don’t know me, I’m broke, what could I possibly give her?"

Chu Nanying glanced between them.

Her father was thinking about money.

Oh well, he was a man, so his thoughts were certainly different from sixth sister’s.

Her mother was a woman, and what she wanted was probably what sixth sister wanted.

Suddenly, Chu Nanying had an idea, "Then I’ll help father thank sixth sister."

The two laughed, and Chu Hanming asked curiously, "What can a little kid like you have to give to sixth sister?"

Chu Nanying lifted her little skirt and ran to the vanity, pulling out something wrapped in oil paper.

She said, "This is a good thing a fairy gave me, she said if you eat one, you’ll have children soon! I’ll give this to sixth sister to thank her!"

Lady Tian had always wanted to conceive.

She thought, sixth sister had been married for a while but still hadn’t shown any signs of pregnancy, so she must be eager.

Chu Hanming was surprised, "Is there really such a good thing?"

Lady Tian chuckled, "Do you still believe that? It’s just a little peddler selling it, saying the ginger candy has been blessed by Buddha, and eating one guarantees early childbirth. She insisted on buying it, so I bought two bags."

Chu Hanming glanced at her belly, "Maybe it works? Has your... your period come yet?"

Lady Tian waved her hand, "I’ve never been regular, it’s just a gimmick. How can eating a piece of ginger candy make you pregnant?"

After all these years, she had become indifferent to the issue of children.

"Mother, this bag is a bit different from yours, the fairy sister told me so," Chu Nanying said seriously.

Lady Tian didn’t take it to heart, "Alright, the ginger candy tastes fine, just give one to sixth sister to try."

"Okay!" Chu Nanying happily ran off.

Ye Siheng and Nanli had already left the flower hall and were under a pavilion, admiring the flowers.

Chu Nanying stood in the corridor and saw Ye Siheng’s eyes full of tenderness and love for sixth sister. His gaze never left her, and she couldn’t help but think that if they had children, their family would be even more perfect and happy.

She ran over, "Prince, sixth sister!"

The two turned to look.

Chu Nanying curtsied gracefully, "Thank you for speaking on behalf of father earlier."

Nanli smiled, "It’s nothing, just a few words and a talisman."

Chu Nanying took out the ginger candy, "Then I must thank sixth sister."

She said, taking one piece of ginger candy from her hand, placing it in her palm, and offering it to Nanli.

"This is my favorite candy, after eating it, sixth sister’s wish will come true!"
