Rongxi Courtyard, East Wing.
On Xiaobao’s exclusive Kang, two children were lying on their stomachs.
Chubby and cute, the little boy had a tuft of hair on the top of his head, and he was wearing a set of sapphire blue cotton top and bottoms. The little girl had two little pigtails, dressed in sakura pink clothes.
The two were lying on the Kang, playing with a cat.
More specifically, Huahua
Huahua had already hidden under the pillow, but it still couldn’t escape the clutches of the little devil, also known as Yueyue.
Yueyue missed Doudou. She also found Huahua to be much cuter than Doudou. That little dog named Doudou was too dumb. Besides eating and sleeping, it only knows to bite her skirt. Huahua not only knows how to lick its paws and wash its face, but it even knows how to make faces at her.
Yueyue thought that this cat was really interesting. Ever since she arrived at Rongxi Courtyard, she remained close to Huahua. Sometimes she would be carrying it or hugging it. Other times she would be rubbing the cat’s head or pinching its small paws.
Huahua hated this little lass. The problem was that it was freezing outside, and it had nowhere else to go. Two days ago, Jin Wang once again forbade it from leaving the east wing. The most important thing was that the young master actually let the little girl torture itself like this. Not only did he not care, but sometimes he even acted as an accomplice.
“Did you say Huahua is a male cat or a female cat?” Yueyue asked.
“Female.”
This was what Hong Fei told Xiaobao. He didn’t know how to recognize the difference between male and female cats. Plus, even if he knew, it didn’t mean he would be able to recognize it in real life. Since Hong Fei said the cat was female, he treated it as such.
Yueyue was at an age when her curiosity was in full swing. “Then how do you know she’s a female cat? Does she have a little peepee?”
The reason why she was asking this was because of something dumb Xiaobao did before. He was able to pee on his own very early. He was embarrassed to ask a maid to help him, so he would go to the washroom on his own. That time, he had been negligent. He had forgotten that he now had a little follower, resulting in Yueyue breaking in while he was peeing.
Yueyue didn’t feel any embarrassment at all. She pointed at Xiaobao’s little peepee and loudly asked why he had one but she didn’t. When Chun’er and Qiu’er heard the noises, they hurried in and took Yueyue away. Then they explained to her that boys were different from girls and that such things should not be said casually.
Ever since Yueyue had been curious about this matter. Even though the maids expressed that this sort of thing shouldn’t be randomly talked about, she still told Xiaobao secretly. As she shared what the maids told her, it was inevitable that she would mention Xiaobao’s little peepee, making his mood fluctuate wildly.
“Since she’s a female cat, she doesn’t have a peepee.” As the two children discussed this issue, Huahua was trapped by her hind paws with nowhere to run. Xiaobao was the main culprit as he grabbed Huahua, turned her over and pressed her down. Yueyue studied the appearance of Huahua who had no peepee. “She really doesn’t have one. Only Xiaobao Gege has it.” After spending some time with Xiaobao, she noticed that Yaoniang and the maids all call him Xiaobao or Young Master Xiaobao. Yueyue then stopped calling him Chen Gege and changed it to Xiaobao Gege.
Of course, only he would have a peepee!
Xiaobao nodded. “Only I have it. No one else has it. Yueyue, it’s not good to look at other people’s peepees. In the future, you can only say stuff like this to me, not to others.”
Xiaobao has repeated this several times already. Yueyue nodded obediently then opened her mouth and dropped a bomb on Xiaobao. “I’ll only look at Xiaobao Gege’s little peepee.”
Even though these words were very weird, Xiaobao tried to suppress his grin as he nodded.
Outside the room, they watched the two children play together through the window. Madam Qiao, who was wrapped tightly in a cloak, finally felt relieved.
Sun Mang was standing beside her. She shouldn’t have come, but Qiao-shi really missed her daughter, so she decided to drop by before leaving.
Qiao Xiuli finally got the punishment she deserved. Although Qiao-shi wasn’t aware of how exactly Sun Mang dealt with her, she knew Sun Mang’s methods. Naturally, Qiao Xiuli wouldn’t have a good ending. Qiao Anhe was also sent back to Jiangnan, and Madam Qiao wrote letters to Old Master Qiao and Old Madam Qiao explaining what happened. Given what Qiao Xiuli did to her, Qiao Anhe’s fate would not be much better.
Although innocents shouldn’t be involved in revenge, the servant boy did belong to Qiao Anhe. If someone were to say that Qiao Xiuli, a weak and delicate girl, did such a vicious thing without any help, no one would believe it. Qiao Anhe wouldn’t be able to extricate himself from this mess. Even if he begged for mercy, no one would believe him.
After dealing with those two, the next thing to do was to treat Qiao-shi.
Earlier, Sun Mang had gone to meet Duchess Zhenguo. For reasons unknown, the two parted on an extremely bad note. Sun Mang then told Qiao-shi that he was taking her to the countryside to live for a while.
This was also good. The environment in the countryside is peaceful, which is good for someone recuperating from an illness. Before leaving, Qiao-shi really couldn’t feel at ease without seeing Yueyue, so she asked Sun Mang to let her come and take a look at her daughter.
Qiao-shi decided to leave Yueyue at Jin Wang Manor. The main reason was that she was going to the countryside to recuperate. Given how serious her illness was, she wouldn’t be able to take care of Yueyue, so bringing her along was not an option. She also didn’t feel at ease leaving her in the manor, so she decided it’d be better to leave her at Jin Wang Manor.
“You don’t want to go inside?” Yaoniang asked.
Qiao-shi shook her head. She was bundled up in a thick cloak from head to toe, and her mouth and nose were also covered with a handkerchief. People who didn’t know the real reason would think she was terrified of the cold. Only those in the know would understand what’s going on.
“No need. Look at me. If Yueyue sees me like this, it’ll scare her.”
Yaoniang’s face was bleak as she sighed in her heart. Naturally, she had learned what Qiao Xiuli had done. She really didn’t expect that such a weak woman would try to harm her elder cousin, who had always been good to her and her family, to such an extent
The method she used was ruthless, horrifying, and hard to guard against. If it wasn’t for Doctor Liu, likely no one would have thought that she would use such a sneaky but harmful method.
“Don’t worry, I will help you take good care of Yueyue.”
“I believe you. If I didn’t believe in you, I wouldn’t have entrusted Yueyue to you. Thank you Yaoyao. If it weren’t for you, I can’t even imagine what I would be like now. I’d probably be dead… At that time, I felt like I couldn’t take it any longer. Even if I didn’t die, I no longer wanted to live… With such a filthy disease, I’m only dragging down my children’s futures. If it weren’t for you, I might have done something extreme like giving my husband and children to that one…”
Sun Mang stood beside her and didn’t speak until now. “Enough, don’t talk about it.”
“Yeah, don’t mention those terrible things. After all, they didn’t happen. You should focus on recuperating, and when you come back, you’ll be able to meet a plump and fair Yueyue.”
