Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1181 Sooner or later they would bow to her.

After handling things at the company, Li Xue soon returned back home. When she got out of the car, she already looked super tired. To say the day out with both physical and mental exercise has drained out all her energy. And at a moment like this, she only needed one thing to energize herself back …

A deep hug from her energy ball. Her little devilic angel.

One hug from her would be more than sufficient to bring back all the strength and energy she lost in the whole day.

Li Xue's lips curled up when she thought of her daughter. And keeping that smile of hers on her face, she walked inside the house. Since it was already late in the evening, she knew her daughter might have already done with her studies, waiting for her in the living hall.

But her eyes narrowed when she entered inside the house only to find the living space all empty. This wasn't the style of her princess. She looked around. The place was brightly lit which meant the maids had still not left for their quarter and had been inside the house doing the work.

"Madam, you are back?"

While Li Xue was still looking around, figuring out what had happened, the polite voice of Sister Margaret greeted her. She turned to look at the old lady to greet back. "Yep, I had just returned. But have the maids not yet returned to the quarters?" She asked casually.

Usually, given the routine, the maids were all trained to work more in less time. So, if a person doesn't stay at home all the time, he or she may not be able to figure them out at the place completely. They would be around the house, coming in service when needed but it was rare to see them roaming.

Sister Margaret shook her head. "The maids are yet to complete their work, Madam. So, they haven't left yet. Once they complete their parts, they would leave soon."

Li Xue found something amiss between those words. Tugging her brows with some confusion, she questioned, "Not done yet? But they are all so efficient every time. Did something happen today that made it end like this?" '

She asked and the old lady clearly hesitated.

"Madam, that … in the late afternoon when little young miss returned home, she …"

"It's regarding WeiWei?" Li Xue's tug of confusion turned into a frown as interjecting in the middle, she immediately asked. "What happened to her? Is she fine? Is she having the temperature again?"

The little one recently suffered from a temperature out of blue. Although one time was normal, if it had come same again, she fears she could no longer take it easy. She would have to visit the doctor, making her check her daughter well.

Sister Margaret understood the tug of anxiety on her brows. Shaking her head, she eased her up to say, "Madam, little young miss is fine. When she returned from school, she was changed and came down to the dining table to have lunch. Although she ate everything we served on her plate, she looked a little different than usual."

"All of us are quite attached to her so when the maids saw her upset, they came to talk to her but no matter how they tried, they simply weren't able to liven up her mood. She smiled at us, pertaining to being alright, but we all can see that …" Sister Margaret didn't complete her sentence but the meaning got delivered well to the ears of Li Xue. "And all that took the maids late here."

Li Xue heard her and nodded. Hearing the old lady say all that and knowing well about her daughter, she didn't think twice before confirming that her daughter was upset about something. And when upset, the little one won't spill the beans until it's her mother asking her.

"Thank you, Sister Margaret, for looking after her when I wasn't here." She said, to which the old lady quickly interjected, shaking her head.

"Madam, that was our duty. Please don't say thank you."

Li Xue smiled but then shook her head. "It's okay, Sister Margaret. Sometimes being courteous won't harm. As for WeiWei, don't worry. She would soon be fine. She must be upset with something and will be better when she talks about it with me. I will go and look at her then." She said and the old lady nodded to her politely. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by ɴo(v)elFɪre.net - novelenglish.net . bin

"Okay Madam, then I will send some refreshments for you in little young miss's room", She said and Li Xue smiled nodding.

"Sure. But please send it after some time. When she is already in an upset mood, it wouldn't be good if we get interrupted in the mid of our talks." Li Xue said before walking her way upstairs.

Sister Margaret understood well. So, nodding to her, she didn't hurry to send the maid upstairs with refreshments. But her thoughts paused for a moment, as her memories recollected something back in time. Although the little girl was a lot like Young Master always, this was the first time she saw the shadow of the late mistress in Li Xue.

The old lady smiled. No doubt she was satisfied seeing Li Xue having the hints of the late matriarch in her. "Sooner or later the relatives would accept and bow to her. It's just a matter of time." She mumbled to herself before walking back to see the work progress of the maids.

While upstairs, soon Li Xue walked to slowly knock at the door of her princess before pushing it open. "I heard someone is upset today and has given hard time to all other people in the house. Have I heard it right?"

The little girl was sitting at her study desk, reading a book. When she heard her mother's voice, she turned to look at her, blinking her eyes. "But Mama, WeiWei didn't do anything such, she completed all her lunch without giving anyone any hard time."

Li Xue looked at her little's eyes and one glance was enough to tell that her princess wanted to cry but for a long time, she had been holding it in, restraining her tears from rolling down her eyes.

What exactly has happened to upset her like this?
