Ch 51: The Cub Squad Assembles
Su Junyao was completely withdrawn, his self-esteem hurt by his daughter. To save her husband’s face, Yun Jinglan deeply criticized Chou Chou for being tactless.
“Chou Chou, actually, your Dad is quite fragile, why don’t we indulge him a little?”
A man’s self-esteem sometimes needs a woman to maintain, and only by coaxing him well can he work hard outside for their mother and daughter.
Even if it’s just lip service, the face-saving efforts must be done well.
Yun Jinglan met Chou Chou’s puzzled little eyes, and she couldn’t even think about what this cub was thinking!
Chou Chou lay on the ground, wiggling her butt and sighing helplessly.
【Why is my Mother telling me this? I don’t even have a mouth!】
【I won’t coax him, you coax him yourself. Dad is bad, he said Chou Chou is a little butt cub with no taste!】
She also has a little temper. Her Mother won’t let her go out, otherwise she would definitely go to Grandfather to complain and have her dad’s dad beat him!
And call him a little butt cub too!
Yun Jinglan didn’t expect Chou Chou to be so stubborn. The father and daughter hadn’t spoken for three days, and even invitations from In the Palace had been rejected.
In her own words, she was—injured and needed to silently heal and lick her wounds.
This reason infuriated Su Junyao to the point of near death, directly turning grief and indignation into strength, and scolding the entire Imperial Court.
According to Lu Wenzheng, if it weren’t for giving the Yun Family face, the military generals would have already challenged him to a duel.
Yun Jinglan held Chou Chou and whispered to her: “Give Mother some face, let’s indulge your Dad a little, okay?”
【Since you’re begging me so much, then I’ll reluctantly agree.】
Chou Chou felt a little unwilling in her heart, her little milky voice full of tsunderness. Yun Jinglan suppressed a smile, wondering how to coax the other one later.
Some people were tired during the New Year, some got rich, and some went crazy.
“Master Su, wait for me!”
Su Junyao turned his head and saw Lu Wenzheng lifting his official robe and trotting towards him. Su Junyao had a headache, glanced at him briefly, and simply pretended not to see him, striding forward with his head down.
Lu Wenzheng knew what kind of stubborn person this was, so he sped up from behind and put him in a headlock: “Let you run again! Let’s go, come back with me.”
“Go where?” Su Junyao slapped his hand away, straightened his crumpled official robe, and glared at him unhappily, “I have Serious Matters.”
“Isn’t it just picking up Princess Funing to go to your Mansion to find Chou Chou to play?”
Lu Wenzheng didn’t care. Now, everyone In the Capital knows that the three-month-old baby of the Wen Yang Marquis Family is irresistibly charming, and even Her Majesty the Empress Dowager has issued an Imperial Edict for her to eat well and grow up obediently.
This is much more effective than praying to Gods and Buddhas!
When the officials at the Palace Gate passed by the two of them, they stared at them curiously.
Su Junyao: “What did you do again?”
Lu Wenzheng rolled his eyes at him: “What does it have to do with me? Why have you been acting like you’ve eaten gunpowder lately? Did you know that yesterday the Imperial Censor also went to see Your Majesty and said that you are now more reckless than the people of the Censorate. By the way, don’t wander around outside at night recently. General Chang and the Imperial Guards are preparing to ambush you.”
Lu Wenzheng was almost moved to tears. Su Junyao abused him a thousand times, but he still regarded Su Junyao as his best brother in this life.
Su Junyao was touched: “Brother Wenzheng, thank you!”
“Old Su, why are you being so polite? We’ve been friends since we wore split pants. If my Younger Sister didn’t look down on you, who knows what kind of relationship we would have now!”
Su Junyao took a step back to distance himself from him, full of seriousness: “Don’t talk nonsense, it’s bad for my reputation.”
“Why are you in such a hurry? Didn’t my Younger Sister not take a fancy to you? Look, we have such a good relationship, and I’m still giving you tips. Aren’t you going to repay me?”
Su Junyao nodded while being wary: “That’s what I said, but… Forget it, tell me what you want to do first.”
Lu Wenzheng was afraid that Su Junyao would go back on his word, so he immediately said: “Since we’re both bringing children, bring our Little Dot too. Either one is fine!”
Lu Wenzheng’s daughter’s milk name is Little Dot, the amazing woman who single-handedly carried a Big Goose at Chou Chou’s full moon banquet. She is three years old this year, teases cats and dogs, bullies her older Brothers, and is afraid of no one except her Mother.
Their family also has a black and white Cat named the same as Little Dot, which Little Dot picked up herself. Like pet, like owner. Lu Wenzheng felt that there was no place for him to stay in this Home anymore.
Lu Diandian likes Chou Chou and makes a fuss about going to the Wen Yang Marquis Mansion to find her Younger Sister every day. Madam Lu has also been sick recently due to the unseasonal cold weather, and Lu Wenzheng’s parents said they were going out to play last year and didn’t even come back for the New Year.
So Lu Wenzheng came up with the idea of Su Junyao.
With one Lu Diandian and one Little Dot Cat at Home, he felt that his Madam’s illness had become even more serious.
Su Junyao originally wanted to run, but the Empress sent someone to bring Princess Funing over. Looking at the other side, Imperial Physician Wang was already leading Wang Xinyu’s hand and smiling at him.
◈◈◈
Since I’m already here…
“Forget it, come back with me!”
…………
Yun Jinglan held Chou Chou and looked at the three little children standing in a row from short to tall. Of course, Princess Funing couldn’t stand yet, so a Palace Maid was holding her up for her.
Yun Jinglan took a deep breath and first paid her respects to the Princess.
“This humble woman greets the Princess, may Your Highness the Princess be well.”
Funing stretched out her short, chubby fingers and beckoned to Yun Jinglan, her serious expression resembling His Majesty’s wise and martial bearing, “Ugh!”
【Mother, she’s telling you to get up!】
Funing nodded in agreement, “En!”
Funing couldn’t speak yet, but she could squeeze out some babbling sounds from her throat, which sounded a bit like simple answers.
Yun Jinglan was surprised: “The Princess is so smart!”
The Little Palace Maid holding Princess Funing proudly raised her head. Their Princess was obedient and smart, the best Little Princess!
Chou Chou nodded in a decent manner, soft and limp like a small, limp vegetable.
Lu Diandian’s eyes darted around, and she stretched out her arm and directly pulled off Princess Funing’s Tiger-Head Shoes.
The little chubby feet were wrapped in long socks and unconsciously shrank back.
Princess Funing: Sorry~ but I’m also a baby who washes my jiojio every day~
Wang Xinyu still didn’t speak, but she had already dodged to the Door.
【I like these Tiger-Head Shoes, Mother, I want them!】
Princess Funing’s food, clothing, and utensils were all the best, and even the Tiger-Head Shoes were embroidered with pearls. Chou Chou’s eyes never moved away from the pearls on her shoes.
Yun Jinglan looked at Su Junyao, who was standing in the corner with his head down and not daring to speak, and felt her head getting bigger.
She could already imagine how “wonderful” her life would be for the next few days!
“Su Junyao!”
Su Junyao also felt wronged. Who knew how this team would slowly grow.
To make matters worse, the twins also ran in at this time.
“Mother!”
Yun Jinglan’s eyes darkened, and she looked at the children, big and small, very helplessly, “What’s wrong again?”
After the twins paid their respects to the Princess, Su Jingwen then informed her of their intentions: “Second Uncle asked us to invite Dad over. Also, the Academy notified us that school is starting, and we will be going to school the day after tomorrow.”
Yun Jinglan: “Thank goodness two are finally leaving!”
“What?” What did Su Jingwen just hear? Were they being disliked?
Yun Jinglan’s eyes flickered and didn’t meet her son’s eyes, accidentally blurting out what was in her heart.
She immediately changed the subject: “Xiucheng, what did you want to say?”
Su Xiucheng, who was originally in a daze, blurted out: “What a beautiful Younger Sister!”
Everyone: “???”
Chou Chou: 【Hey, lecher!】
