Take a Sip of Milk to Calm My Nerves, the Whole Family is Waiting for Me to Save Them – Chapter 13

Ch 13: Betrayal

Chou Chou inexplicably became melancholic, even drinking milk didn’t smell good anymore.

Yun Jinglan felt helpless. This little cub of hers seemed very afraid of the whole family dying, but she was right about some things.

Must pay attention to it!

Yun Jinglan had Dongxiao coax Chou Chou to sleep, while she asked her two sons about matters at the academy.

“You have been to the academy for three months now, have you made any progress?”

Su Jingwen and Su Xiucheng knelt together without saying a word.

Because they had nothing to say.

Yun Jinglan only felt an immense headache. She never had to worry about her eldest son and second son, but these two ancestors always gave her a headache.

Twins have a telepathic connection, and their mistakes are always double. After angering three teachers in a row, Yun Jinglan was pregnant and had no time to take care of them, so she sent them to the famous Qingyang Academy in the suburbs.

Qingyang Academy has strict teaching, and the dean has a strange personality. Many Capital City aristocratic children sharpen their heads to get in. These brothers were fortunate to get two places thanks to their Second Brother being the dean’s closed-door disciple.

Now it seems that these two places were wasted!

“Speak!”

Su Jingwen glanced at his Mother cautiously, and weakly said, “Son is foolish and has made no progress.”

Yun Jinglan glanced at Su Xiucheng, who was humbly afraid to raise his head: “Xiucheng, what about you?”

Su Xiucheng rolled his eyes around, thought of a countermeasure: “Son has gained quite a bit of experience in making friends.”

Grand Tutor Jiang’s grandson, Master Wang’s son, the Cousin from the Prince of Ying’s Mansion… these are all his three little brothers!

Yun Jinglan felt a mix of emotions in her heart, looking at the lively little face in front of her winking at her, she was both angry and loved him.

“Now you are also people who are elder brothers, if you don’t study hard, you won’t be afraid of your Younger Sister losing face in the future.” Yun Jinglan saw that her two sons cared about Chou Chou, so she used her as a way to teach her two unreliable sons.

But she was right. In the future, when Chou Chou gets married, her dignity will not only depend on what her husband earns, but also on her maternal family elder brothers standing up for her. Yun Jinglan thought of her two elder brothers and felt her back straighten.

“For the year-end assessment, Mother hopes you can bring back good news.” Yun Jinglan threatened them, “Otherwise, after the New Year, you will go to Wangyun Pass together to find your Eldest Brother.”

“If brothers are of one mind, their strength can cut through gold. He will be a general, and you will be cooks.”

The twins, who had never suffered since childhood: “……”

The frightened twins immediately said that they would go back tonight and turn the book upside down, and ensure that they would win the first prize.

Yun Jinglan said meaningfully: “I’d thank the heavens if you weren’t last.”

The two brothers were ashamed, and even stopped playing with their Younger Sister, and ran away in a puff of smoke. It is said that they were going to study behind closed doors and told Yun Jinglan not to disturb them if she had nothing to do.

Chou Chou woke up from a nap and found that her two elder brothers were gone. She finally had someone willing to play with her, why did they go to study?

【You should have fun at this age, and when the whole family is gone in the future, there will be no chance to play. 】

【What? Grand Tutor Jiang’s grandson, Master Wang’s son, the Cousin from the Prince of Ying’s Mansion?】

【As expected of Chou Chou’s elder brother, he is amazing! He actually gathered all the villains in just three months!】

【Gagaga, amazing! Ulla!】

Yun Jinglan’s mouth twitched, feeling an even greater headache, and without thinking, she manually muted Chou Chou, directly pinching her red little mouth.

Chou Chou’s little mouth was pinched, and she directly turned into a little duck.

Chou Chou: 【?】

【Gagaga? Ga ga!】

Yun Jinglan: Even noisier!

His Majesty rewarded Su Junyao heavily for the Yunzhu Pagoda incident. He first went to see his Father and told him about it. The two of them praised Chou Chou together, and discussed that Chou Chou’s Full Moon Banquet must be grandly celebrated. After that, he was kicked out by his Dad.

◈◈◈

Su Junyao has also figured out the way for couples to get along these days. Just like Chou Chou said, a long mouth can not only be used for kissing, but also for pleasing a wife!

Su Junyao has been studying some books on the philosophy of life that he brought in at Qingyun Temple these days, and now he feels that his understanding of life has reached a higher level.

Life is only a few decades long, a young couple and an old companion!

“Madam, I’m telling you, today His Majesty praised you and me as a match made in heaven, a couple in the world, like lovebirds and mandarin ducks!”

Certified by the Son of Heaven, they are a match made in heaven!

Su Junyao was overjoyed, but when he looked up, he saw a pair of icy eyes staring at him.

Yun Jinglan sneered: “You really deserve to be Father and Daughter!”

Su Junyao: “?”

Why is Madam speaking in this tone today? So sarcastic!

Chou Chou was held in Yun Jinglan’s arms, and she had been practicing duck calls all day today. She had completed the perfect evolution from a plump Little Koi!

【Dad, gagaga!】

Su Junyao: “?” What is that calling?

Qiu Yue was anxious seeing that the two Masters were both out of sorts. It was not easy for their Madam and the Heir to get closer, they must not have any more conflicts and let outsiders take advantage of them.

While serving water for Su Junyao to wash his hands, she carefully reminded the Heir: “Madam said she has a headache, and told the servants to be quiet.”

Su Junyao immediately understood.

Understood, he’ll shut up!

Chou Chou saw that everyone was not talking, and stopped talking with her little hands in her hands.

Yun Jinglan felt that the whole world was quiet.

She even kept Su Junyao in the house for dinner.

Eating roast duck, stewed duck feet, Peking duck, stir-fried duck giblets…

Chou Chou: 【So fragrant, want to eat!】

The meal was eaten quietly, and a certain Fish Fry was so greedy that her saliva overflowed, and she gulped down a large bowl of cow’s milk before falling into a sweet sleep.

Even in her dreams, she was chasing after roast duck.

Wuwuwu, ducks are so cute, they should be roasted and eaten!

No one noticed a small black shadow flashing past outside the door, hurrying out of the small door of Jingxin Yuan and heading towards the Bamboo Garden.

Yuan Xiang knelt in the hall with her head lowered, not daring to look at the person lying there.

Madam Wen lowered her eyes and looked at the kneeling little figure, a trace of disdain flashed across her face: “Are you saying that Ningxiang asked you to come and seek refuge with me?”

Yuan Xiang kowtowed twice to show her loyalty: “In reply to Old Madam, Sister Ningxiang said before she left that you, Old Madam, are kind-hearted, and said that if anything happens, come to the Bamboo Garden to find you. Please, Old Madam, take in Yuan Xiang!”

Madam Wen blew on her nails. There was a hideous burn scar the size of an infant’s fist on her left face, which looked a little frightening in the dim candlelight. Yuan Xiang glanced at it quickly, and then remembered what Ningxiang had said, and quickly lowered her head, her body almost touching the ground.

Madam Wen said casually: “You are serving in the Princess Consort’s courtyard, what’s the matter with seeking me out?”

Wet Nurse Zhang, who was serving beside her, glared at Yuan Xiang with her three-white eyes, and flattered Madam Wen, giving her eye drops: “I’m afraid she can’t stand seeing you and the Princess Consort getting along harmoniously, and wants to stir up trouble in our Marquis Mansion. This little hussy is very bad, and this Old Servant thinks she should be dragged out and beaten to death with sticks!”

Yuan Xiang trembled and quickly begged for mercy: “Old Madam, please spare me, it was Sister Ningxiang who said that your courtyard lacks an informant, so she sent me here!”

Madam Wen’s eyebrows jumped, and she splashed the hot ginseng soup beside her at Yuan Xiang with her backhand: “Bastard!”

Yuan Xiang’s face was flushed red from the scalding hot ginseng soup, and she quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy: “Old Madam, please spare me!”

“It was Sister Ningxiang who said to report all the news from the courtyard to you!”
