Chapter 223: Yu Wan Teaching Her Sons

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Xu Shao sent Worthy Consort Xu and her son out of the Xu Manor. “Goodbye, Your Highness.”

The two of them got into the carriage. After the carriage left and they could no longer see the Xu Manor, Worthy Consort Xu said faintly, “My son, what do you think of this matter? Do you think what your uncle said is true?”

“Mother, are you suspecting Uncle?” Yan Huaijing asked.

Worthy Consort Xu sighed. “He’s my biological brother, so I naturally don’t want to suspect him. However, this concerns your position as the Crown Prince, so I have no choice but to be cautious.”

“I’ve made you worried,” Yan Huaijing said indifferently. He turned to look at the night outside the window, as if he didn’t want to say anything else.

Is that all he has to say?

“Are you still angry with me? You don’t want to talk to me?” In front of Xu Shao, he knew to respect her. Once there were no outsiders, he returned to his cold demeanor.

“I wouldn’t dare,” Yan Huaijing said.

Worthy Consort Xu was furious. “If you don’t dare, then what are you doing now?”

“We can’t not believe Uncle’s words, but we can’t completely believe them either,” Yan Huaijing said.

Worthy Consort Xu was stunned for a moment before she realized that her son was answering her first question. Because she scolded him for not wanting to talk to her, he immediately answered her. Look, didn’t I talk to you nicely? What else are you not satisfied with?

Worthy Consort Xu was filled with anger. Of course, she also regretted her actions. He had heard about her calling Yu Wan into the palace and making things difficult for her. If she had known that that girl had given birth to three sons with Yan Jiuchao, she would have turned a blind eye and let her son cause trouble. Anyway, it would all be for nothing. It was a waste of her being a bad person!

The mother and son were angry at each other, so the topic was left unsettled.

On the other side, Xu Shao, who had sent the mother and son away, gradually returned to normal. All the fear and surprise disappeared, and his eyes became deep.

He knew everything that Worthy Consort Xu had told him about Prince Yan’s background and the curse of the Prince Yan Manor, but he shouldn’t have known, so he pretended to be shocked.

However, there was one thing that they had overlooked. If it was really as Worthy Consort Xu had said, and His Majesty did not hesitate to kill his biological father to save his younger brother, why did Yan Jiuchao keep a grudge against His Majesty? Why was he so angry that his illness acted up the moment he saw His Majesty?

Just because Prince Yan committed suicide in order not to implicate His Majesty when someone failed to assassinate His Majesty back then and captured Prince Yan as a hostage? However, this matter was not His Majesty’s fault. Moreover, Prince Yan’s life was saved by His Majesty from the hands of the late Emperor. Prince Yan’s actions could only be considered as returning his life to His Majesty. Then what did Yan Jiuchao hate?

However, if the child who wasn’t of the royal bloodline was not Prince Yan but His Majesty, then everything made sense.

Prince Yan had taken the blame for His Majesty for so many years. In the end, he was a thorn in the late Emperor’s eye. It was even thanks to His Majesty that Yan Jiuchao was cursed by his biological grandfather to have no descendants. Prince Yan even died for this heartless brother.

Did His Majesty not know the truth? He just did not have the guts to tell the truth. He knelt in front of the late Emperor and could not say the words “that bastard son is not my younger brother, but me”. Therefore, the young Prince Yan and Yan Jiuchao suffered.

“Young Master!” Shadow Six walked into the study with a few brocade boxes. “The palace has given you a reward. It’s to nourish your body.”

Yan Jiuchao didn’t even lift his eyelids. “Throw it out.”

Shadow Six took a deep breath and said, “It can be sold for money.”

“Then sell it,” Yan Jiuchao said.

Shadow Six blinked. “Then the money…”

Yan Jiuchao said, “Do I look like someone who lacks that bit of money?”

Shadow Six grinned.

Yan Jiuchao added, “Send it to Miss Yu.”

Shadow Six couldn’t smile anymore.

Shadow Six carried a bunch of rewards and walked out dejectedly, brushing past Shadow Thirteen who had left the room.

Shadow Thirteen stopped him. “What’s wrong?”

Shadow Six told Shadow Thirteen everything that had happened in the study.

“Useless!” Shadow Thirteen glared at him and left him to return to his room. Shadow Six continued to walk forward with his head lowered. After a while, Shadow Thirteen caught up and threw a heavy purse into his arms.

Shadow Six was stunned. Shadow Thirteen left without looking back.

… .

The next day, Yu Wan was woken up by a few blinding lights. She opened her eyes and turned around to see a row of silver ingots lying on the table by the window.

Huh?

Yu Wan looked at the closed door and confirmed that no one had entered. Then how did these ingots come about?

Yu Wan lifted the blanket and got off the bed. She walked to the table and saw a note under the ingots. There were a few big words written on the note—No need to thank me!

Yu Wan burst into laughter.

This guy.

If she didn’t do business, she wouldn’t know. The bigger the business, the more money she had to spend. No wonder in her previous life, so many businessmen always looked like they were in debt. Yu Wan put away the money and went to wake the little fellows up.

The little fellows were lying on the bed with their feet facing the sky. Xiaobao was holding Er’bao’s foot in his hand, and Er’bao’s other foot was pressed against Dabao’s stomach. Yu Wan could not help but laugh when she saw this.

Such cute children had to grow up safely.

Yu Wan kissed the little fellows’ faces. The three of them woke up in a daze and fought to burrow into Yu Wan’s arms.

Suddenly, Yu Wan felt her chest tighten. She looked down and saw Xiaobao’s hand grabbing her small chest.

Yu Wan : “…”

This little fellow wanted to grab everything he saw!

Yu Wan took out Xiaobao’s claws and changed their clothes. She led them to the backyard to wash up.

Yu Wan had already bought that mountain. Yu Shaoqing would go to the mountain every day to see how the progress of the wasteland reclamation was. However, he did not go today. There were three more mouths at home, and he could not even finish making breakfast. The little fellows were not easy to feed at all as they are picky about their food.

Yu Shaoqing’s face darkened. He brewed a pot of millet porridge, steamed a basket of white steamed buns, and steamed a large bowl of egg custard.

The little fellows ate very well. They finished the custard in their bowls and did not eat the porridge, but they ate a few mouthfuls of steamed bun. Then, they lifted their clothes and showed their stomachs to Yu Wan, indicating that they were very obedient and that they were full.

Yu Wan patted their little heads. “How obedient. Go play with your uncle.”

It was probably because they had been locked up by Yan Ruyu for too long that the children were a little introverted and not good at interacting with other children. Yu Wan asked Bruiser to bring them to the village more often. Bruiser was good at this, and he was the one who brought their sister up. He brought her up very well!

“Let’s go find Sister Zhenzhen first, then Brother Stone!” Little Bruiser said to the three little fellows.

Yu Wan recalled how the little fellows had been blocked in the alley by a group of brats and they didn’t know how to fight back. Yu Wan was worried that they would be bullied again, so she repeatedly reminded Bruiser to take good care of them.

Little Bruiser patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry, Sis! My fists are powerful! I’ll beat up whoever dares to bully Little Brothers!”

As Little Bruiser spoke, he showed his majestic little fists!

The three little lads looked at Little Bruiser and Yu Wan in confusion.

Could they still fight? Would they still be a good child after fighting?

Yu Wan nodded and tapped Little Bruiser’s nose. “You said it. Don’t come back if you can’t win.”

“Is there anything I can’t beat?” Little Bruiser straightened his back and pulled the three little fellows out valiantly.

“Ah—”

“Ah—”

“Ah—”

Fifteen minutes later, Little Bruiser screamed.

After another fifteen minutes, the wife of the hunter, Cui Hua, came to visit.

Cui Hua looked extremely flustered. The workshop started today. She was originally working in the backyard, but the barrels in the workshop were not enough. She went home to get them. When she passed by the fields, she saw a group of children fighting.

Her son, Stone, was the king of the children in the village. He was the most popular person, but the most powerful person was Madam Zhong’s grandson, Doggie. Doggie was nine years old this year. He looked young, but he was the little village overlord of Lotus Flower Village. When that child fought, even ten-year-old Stone was not his match.

But today, Doggie and Bruiser were at odds.

“Not good! Ah Wan, something happened!”

Yu Shaoqing had already gone up the mountain. Cui Hua knew that at this critical juncture, she could only let Yu Wan appear.

“What’s wrong, Sister Cui Hua?” Yu Wan put down her half-washed clothes and went to see Cui Hua in the central room.

Cui Hua said in fear, “They fought!”

“Who fought? Bruiser?”

“Bruiser and Doggie!”

Yu Wan had heard about Doggie. He was especially fierce. Even the children in the village didn’t dare to provoke him. Why did Bruiser fight with him? Her sons were also there. Could they have been beaten up by Doggie too? Her sons were only two years old. How could they withstand the fists of Doggie?

Yu Wan hurriedly went to where the children were playing.

“Ah—”

“Ah—”

“Ah—”

Little Bruiser’s screams could be heard from afar. The children who were watching the commotion surrounded him. Yu Wan walked over in three steps and squeezed into the crowd. She saw that on the dusty ground, the three little fellows were riding on Doggie. The little fellows were waving their snowflake-like fists and beating the little village bully until he could not fight back. Little Bruiser was crying out in shock at the side.

“…If you can’t win, don’t come back.”

Obedient babies had to win.

They were all obedient babies!
