When they are going to the Dinner Room, Prince FengEr observes how Prince Li keep walking beside him, but sometimes glances to TanTan and seems thinking about something,
"Wei Di, are you worrying about MuTan Mei?" he teases him to find out what his thought.
"What? No....I am thinking someone else to be suspected..."
"Who?"
"Minister Hua..."
"HuaMuTanâs uncle?" Prince FengEr also glances to TanTan, "You donât think she is also involved right?"
"I donât know..."
"Well, we donât have any evidence yet. Its too early to say..."
"Youâre right"
Prince FengEr doesnât say anything else, although in his mind, he believes that HuaMuTan is innocent but he doesnât want to share that thought with Prince Li.
"YiFu..." At the entrance of the dinner room, FangFang approaches them happily. When she sees Prince FengEr with them, FangFang suddenly behaves as she had been taught, she greets Prince FengEr politely.
"FangFang greets *San Wang ShuShu.."
"Smart FangFang...how are you? Shushu glad to see you again after a long time..."
Prince FengEr pats her head and FangFang seems comfort with him. Not too long, TanTan and XiaoRue have catching up them. When FangFang sees TanTan, she gladly hugs TanTan.
"Yang Mu..."
And coz of the pain, TanTan mutters pain,
"Ugh...." but TanTan holds it, letting FangFang keep hugging her. She tries to smile to FangFang.
"FangFang, donât do that...your YangMu is in pain...her ankle is hurt..." Prince FengEr pulls FangFang from TanTan.
"YangMu, your ankle is hurt?" FangFang looks worry,
TanTan smiles and pats her head,
"Yes, FangFang, but only a little bit so donât worry...."
"Let FangFang helps YangMu..." FangFang holds TanTanâs hand, leads TanTan slowly entering first to the dinner room,
Seeing the view of what happened makes Prince FengEr widens his eyes, he asks Prince Li softly,
"Since when FangFang becomes so close with MuTan Cie, didnât she afraid of her after the burning incident?"
Prince Li just sighed,
"Many thing has changed lately in this house..." then he gestures the Prince FengEr to enter the room first before him.
In the room, Aunt Tong and the other servants have waiting for them,
Aunt Tong and the other servant do their duty to give the best service, they donât wasting any time to display the dishes on the round table. The food is delighting TanTan although she doesnât feel want to eat a lot. Also she feels right to call FangFang join. During the
dinner, she can keep busy taking food for FangFang so she doesnât need to talk too much with both of the princes.
Prince FengEr is the one who do talking a lot and make the dinner quite alive. He praises Aunt Tong for the food like usual, then recalling every time he visited the house, he always satisfy with the food. Indeed Aunt Tong responds gratefully to Prince FengEr.
While in other eyes, TanTan is really acts like a mother to FangFang. She cuts meat into pieces for FangFang and makes sure that FangFang is eating enough as she is also eating her food. Same also with FangFangâs attitude toward TanTan. Even although FangFang doesnât like carrot, but she eats carrot that be offered by TanTan. It surprises Aunt Tong a lot.
As Aunt Tong did, Prince Li also doesnât take his eyes off from TanTan, it looks like he keeps monitoring every TanTanâs movement. Both of Prince Li and Aunt Tong are having the same feeling,
âFangFang canât be that obedient if she doesnât likes the person so much. What on earth did HuaMuTan do to make FangFang likes her that much? beside...
the way HuaMuTan eating is also has changed... in the past, HuaMuTan is a food picker, she doesnât like to eat together especially with children like FangFang and the past HuaMuTanâs eating way much elegant than nowâ
"MuTan Mei, you keep feeding FangFang...Donât forget to make yourself eat also..." Prince FengEr shares a meat piece in TanTanâs bowl.
TanTan surprised, she thanks to Prince FengEr while Prince Li just keep looking,
"Thanks San Wang Ge" She eats it to show her grateful.
Seeing that, FangFang also follows.
"FangFang also want to give YangMu..."
She takes another meat piece onto TanTanâs bowl.
"Thanks FangFang" She also pretending to enjoy eating it to make FangFang happy, "Hm, yummy.."
FangFang is so happy. She then looks to Prince Li innocently,
"YiFu have to give YangMu also..."
Surprise with FangFangâs request, TanTan looks at Prince Li who has been looking to her.
"I had enough eating meat, FangFang... look, you are also almost finish, why donât we finishing the eating and then take a rest..."
"Are you already tired, YangMu?"
"Yes, I need to take a rest earlier so my ankle can recover fast"
FangFang seems doesnât want to left, she still want to be with TanTan, She gives a begging look to Prince Li,
"Hmm... YiFu, can I sleep with YangMu tonight?"
Prince Li gets upset easily somehow seeing FangFang becomes closer with TanTan.
"What? No! You should sleep at your own room!" Letting FangFang alone with HuaMuTan? It can be dangerous...right?
The objection makes TanTan unpleased, âDoes he think I still will harm FangFang?â,
FangFang still begging to Prince Li,
"But why YiFu? YangMuâs ankle is hurt, I want to accompany her...Please Yi Fu...I want to sleep with YangMu..."
Prince Li canât find any reason to object her request so he looks to TanTan, giving a warning eyes, giving a clue for TanTan to object FangFangâs request.
"Well, I donât think your YangMuâs let you sleep with her?!"
"YangMu, can I?"
Although she felt threatened with Prince Liâs stares, but this time she decides to ignore it and even feels glad if she can upset Prince Li by not obeying him.
"Why not? I am glad if FangFang can accompany me...but FangFang, you must finish your food first."
"Okayy..."
FangFang immediately finishing her food. After that, HuaMuTan and FangFang, accompanied by XiaoRue excuse themselves and back to HuaMuTanâs room.
Prince Li just stares angrily to them walking out from the room,
âThat woman purposely against me!!!â
He drinks water and put the glass with harsh to show his anger.
Prince FengEr sees Prince Liâs anger and tries to comfort him,
"Calm down Wei Di, I think you donât need to worry...donât you see MuTan Mei just now treat FangFang nicely. She wonât harm FangFang again."
Prince Li sighed to calm himself,
"Do you think that HuaMuTan can change easily? We both know how she is in the past..."
Prince FengEr answers to him carefully,
"Well, so far I see now...she is quite different...Now...now...donât thinking too much....Suddenly I want to have a drink...Why donât we have a drink before I return to my place? We can continue talk about the case while enjoying this night clear sky view..."
"Ok, but why donât you stay over here, SanWangGe...I see the time is already too late to do a long journey. Iâll ask Aunt Tong to prepare the room for you resting later. You can return tomorrow."
"If not too bothering you WeiDi...this big brother feel grateful..." And then both of them walks out to find a right place to have a drink and enjoying a night view.
In TanTanâs room, XiaoRue helps to massage her ankle for a while with massaging oil. FangFang want to help but TanTan doesnât allow it, she insists FangFang to get ready to sleep at inside part of the bed.
"Is it hurt?"
"No..auch....not really FangFang..."
"How can YangMuâs ankle get hurt?"
"hmmm... YangMu is trying to catch bad guys today but unfortunately they are stronger than YangMu and get escaped..." TanTan feels giving this kind answer will surprise FangFang. She likes to see FangFangâs surprise look, its cute.
But hearing TanTanâs answer, XiaoRue is the one who becomes worry,
"XiaoCie, please be careful with XiaoCieâs body. XiaoCie had hurt on XiaoCieâs back and now XiaoCieâs ankle...XiaoCie got too many wounds since XiaoCie forgotten things..." complaints XiaoRue in worry. She is so worry about TanTan until she doesnât care if her XiaoCie scolds her for her bold words. But TanTan doesnât upset with her words, she knows XiaoRue being noisy coz concerning her condition.
"I will be careful next time, donât worry!"
After finishing massages, TanTan even thanks to XiaoRue before she goes out from the room. TanTan prepares the blanket for both her and FangFang.
"YangMu supposes to tell YiFu..let YiFu catch the bad guys... YiFu is strong, he wonât lost to any bad guys..."
âYeah...like he will help?â TanTan smirks for her own mind, but she immediately says to FangFang,
"Hm...but I am afraid your YiFu is too busy to help me,..."
"YiFu will help you. FangFang will tell him to help you..."
"No..no...no...FangFang...donât do that...please.." Otherwise Prince Li will think that she, TanTan influences and using FangFang for no good.
"Donât you worry, FangFang. I also can be as strong as your YiFu...You know, Me and your YiFu are having competition right now, who will catch the bad guys first will be the winner. So donât ask him to help me...coz it would be a cheating..."
"Hm...alright!"
"Now, lets sleep well tonight okay...." TanTan kisses FangFangâs fore head and lays her own head.
"YangMu?"
"Hm...?"
"Can you sing for me again? That song?"
TanTan surprised, she doesnât expect FangFang had conscious and remembering that song at that time.
"Do you like that song?"
FangFang nods, "I want to hear it again"
"Okay, Iâll singing for you" TanTan repeats the lullaby song for Fangfang, patting her shoulder till FangFang feels asleep.
