My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 1161 - 1167: One is Not Enough to Eat

On the other side, Li Mu’er returned to her private room, her face grimy with dirt.

"Madam, they overstepped their bounds too far; they don’t regard you at all," Colorful Butterfly said resentfully.

Even if they focused solely on the Little Prince, those two women should have shown the utmost respect to the Side Concubine.

Li Mu’er also loathed those two, but what could she do?

Prince Liang was determined to win over Qin Longyun and Tan Zhenghong. If she interfered, the Prince would definitely not forgive her, but why should she endure this humiliation?

"Fine those guards a year’s salary."

Colorful Butterfly quickly advised, "Madam, they are the Prince’s personal guards, his confidants. Punishing them might not be wise."

If they spoke a few words in front of the Prince, it would be enough to cause the Side Concubine a lot of trouble.

Li Mu’er disdainfully said, "They lost the contest, what face do they have to take their salary? Or do you think I don’t even have the right to punish a few servants?"

"Please calm down, I’ll handle it right away. Even though they are the Prince’s confidants, they are not as close to you," Colorful Butterfly assented hastily.

As a young lady in her maiden home, the Side Concubine had a bad temper, and having suffered many hardships in the Mansion of Prince Liang, her temper had only gotten worse; it was better to comply with her wishes if one didn’t want to be implicated.

However, this approach was sure to cause more troubles in the long run.

By the time Colorful Butterfly returned, Li Mu’er’s mood had already improved.

"Do something for me," she said.

Colorful Butterfly nodded, "As you command, Madam."

Li Mu’er whispered in her ear for a while, after which Colorful Butterfly nodded, "I’ll do it right away."

This time, she would definitely make those vile people beg for death!

As the crowd along the riverside thinned out, Qiao Duo’er and Chen Yiling finally took the three children shopping.

Today, many people had come to Mansion City to watch the dragon boat race, and the vendors seized the opportunity to sell their goods.

"Mother, I want this mask," Tangyuan said as he picked out a super cute mask, which was not only fun but also provided shade from the sun.

Qiao Duo’er nodded, "Do you two want one too?"

"I don’t want girl stuff," Green Group disparaged.

"There are also ones for boys. Let’s go with this one. This one is called Tao Yu. Later, you can ask your godmother to tell you his story," Qiao Duo’er suggested, handing two fiercer-looking masks to the boys.

Green Group nodded, "Then this one."

Though he still found it rather childish.

Walking further, the children soon spotted candy figurines and each bought one.

There were also interesting paintings made using names.

Chen Yiling, however, was not interested in these attractions but was drawn to a nearby shouting.

"Da Gao, fresh out of the oven Da Gao, fragrant and soft, one Wen money per piece, don’t miss out as you pass by!"

"Boss, what are these made of? It sounds very novel," Chen Yiling asked curiously.

She had tried many snacks, but this was her first time hearing about Da Gao.

"It’s made with mugwort and sticky rice, and filled with red bean paste. Eating it during Dragon Boat Festival will keep illnesses away for the whole year; it’s suitable for both adults and children. Madam, would you like two pieces?" the vendor said enthusiastically.

"Give me six pieces," Chen Yiling handed over the copper coins.

This way, there would be exactly one piece per person.

The vendor inserted a bamboo stick into the rice cakes before handing them over to Chen Yiling.

Chen Yiling smelled the rice cakes; indeed, they were full of a fragrant rice aroma. She eagerly divided the rice cakes among them.

The rice cakes were sweet but not cloying, soft and delicious, leaving a pleasant aftertaste.

"I should have bought more; just one small piece each is hardly enough," Chen Yiling complained.
