Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1061 - Not Serious Enough?

"Your Majesty! Your Highness!" Butler Cao greeted before informing, "Mr. Shen has come and requested to meet you." And Li Xue turned to notice the faces of Chen Rui and Shin Tingming first.

Tingming's expression changed. The tranquility that his face held when he was between his family disappeared as an expression full of coldness surfaced in his eyes. His fists clenched as still not losing his composure in front of Li Xue, he simply turned to say, "Okay, fine. Ask him to wait."

Chen Rui as well turned. Her gaze held the sharpness but at the moment, her gesture just reached out to calm the man out first. "It's okay. Go and talk to him. I will let the doctors examine Xiao Xue." She said and Shin Tinming nodded to her before turning to glance back at Li Xue.

Li Xue was unaware of the things. After the talk with Feng Shufen last night, she already understood the importance Shen Donghai held in the royal family tree. He was not just an important family member but also a strong supporter of the current family heads. Losing his support now would undoubtedly be causing issues for both Shin Tingming and Chen Rui.

So thinking of all that, the worry got written on her face. After all, in the end, she knew for what Mr. Shen was here. "Your Majesty, …"

"It's okay. I will handle it. Let the doctor examine you first. Later, let's meet at the dining table" As if already reading the girl's thoughts, Shin Tingming said with a smile before turning away to leave.

Li Xue wanted to stop him once but looking at his strict and firm back, she felt the lack of power. Chen Rui understood her situation and reached out to her to say. "It's fine. Don't think about all these things. Your father is capable. He would be able to handle anything except the harm coming your way. Let him do what he has decided to do."

She said and Li Xue looked at her with a tug on her brows. "But won't that be a problem? I have heard from Shufen that Mr. Shen's support means a lot to you. We can take everything easy. After all, I am not that hurt. The wound would recover soon."

Chen Rui shook her head. "It doesn't work like that Xiao Xue. Even though you are fine. Your safety and life is something that's our priority. If we don't take the stand now, things might repeat in the future. So when comes to the opportunity, we shouldn't hesitate to draw the line. Furthermore, we aren't that weak that losing one person's support in the family would put our authority and power in question. We will be fine."

She said and Li Xue was still not satisfied. Maybe it doesn't matter to others. But she has known that feeling from very close. Seeing people abandon you all of a sudden not only brings the jab to one's confidence but also weakens your morale from all sides, including their feelings and emotions. She had experienced it. Even though she held herself strongly in that situation, the pain she endured was too much to forget.

Shin You Jun was looking at them and could understand what the talks were going on about. He has been brought up in between the royal affairs, so even though he never put his mind to it, he knew how and where his family actually stands. His thoughts may not have developed that well but his process of thinking was the same as his parents'. So, when Chen Rui said that Li Xue's safety was the priority, he was agreeing to that thought as well.

But at the same time, he could also understand the concern of Li Xue. To just ease off the things a bit for her, he went back to his arrogant zone to say, "Huh? See, who is caring for us now?"

Li Xue didn't understand his approach first. And seeing her confusion, he further added to explain, "Don't you know little kids are not allowed to speak in between the decision of the parents? Haha … Elder Sister, you might be elder to me but you can't ever become elder to Ma and Pa. I am sure now you understand how I feel every time I get intimidated by you." He made fun and Li Xue could only purse her lips at him.

Understanding the thought of his son, Chen Rui could only suppress a smile. She was happy. Luckily the kids were accommodating well. She was in the mid of her thoughts when a tug on her arms, asked her to look down. "Ah, I almost forget, you were also here? What happened, dear? Why were you so silent all this while? Do you need something?"

Chen Rui asked seeing WeiWei down to their height. Amid all their talks she has almost forgotten her presence and now she was feeling bad in her heart. Li Xue looked down at her daughter as well. All this while, she has been there standing all obediently by her side holding her hands.

Little Li Wei shook her head at the queen. "WeiWei doesn't want anything, Lǎolao. She was silent because she doesn't want to disturb you all earlier. Mama says it's a bad habit to speak in between elders and WeiWei is a good girl. She would never do a bad thing. That's why. But now seeing you smile, I wanted to ask, if WeiWei can speak?"

The royal queen felt her heart melting at the little girl's sensibility. Nodding to her immediately, she said, "Of course, you can speak, dear." Then looking at Li Xue, she added with meaning, "Though you have been taught right by your mother, sweetheart, still hear Lǎolao today. In family, especially in front of us, you don't have to wait. If you have something to speak, speak it right away, okay?"

She asked and the little girl turned to look at her mother to reconfirm the words. Only when she found Li Xue nodding to it, did she turn to agree. "Okay Lǎolao, WeiWei will always keep it in mind from next time."

Right at that moment, the maid who has earlier gone to seek the doctor returned. "Your Highness, the doctor is here to check Young Miss." She informed, and Chen Rui immediately nodded to bring him in.

While at the same time in the grand living space of the royal palace.

Shin Tingming looked at the man who has come to meet him early in the morning. Given the expression Shen Donghai held at him, he could say that he wasn't there for the apology of his daughter's deed, instead was there to question him. But still not revealing the drawn assumption of his expression, he asked all orderly.

"Donghai, you are here this early in the morning. Did something serious happen?"

Shen Donghai's expression changed. To him, Shin Tingming has always been his closest and the best cousin.. He never expected to see him with such ease when he was so angry at him. "Brother, you are still asking me this? What happened with Bingling yesterday, do you think that was something not serious enough?"
