Chapter 216: Seeing Through

"Wow, when I live to be ninety-nine, how old will you be then, Auntie... Let me do the math," Chu Yu was very serious.

The Princess of Zhen Guo smacked him, "You heartless thing, daring to imply your aunt is an old demon!"

"I wouldn't dare. Even if Auntie were an old demon, she'd be the most adorable old demon," Chu Yu replied with a grin.

The Princess of Zhen Guo burst out laughing.

This child, she thought, was worth her favoritism.

Her own eldest grandchild was several years older than Chu Yu, and when Chu Yu and Jinfeng were born, their mother simply vanished. The birth of boy and girl twins was considered an auspicious omen, and naturally, the Emperor showed favoritism.

Later, when Chu Yu was afflicted with a strange poison, she felt empathy for him, thinking of her own fifth-born, and showed him extra care and affection.
