Ch 3: My Dad Finally Spoke
Yun Jinglan was completely stunned by Chou Chou’s words, not even noticing Su Junyao’s unusual expression.
She needs to properly rectify this Jingxin Yuan. If she finds out which lowly servant dares to spout nonsense in front of her daughter, she will tear their mouths apart!
Just look at what this little milk baby has learned!
Chou Chou tried hard to wiggle her body to attract the attention of her foolish dad, who was completely captivated by his beautiful mother.
Su Junyao came back to his senses and coughed lightly. After his body was warmed by the charcoal fire in the house for a while, he felt warm and sat down next to Yun Jinglan, looking down at the little one.
Chou Chou was born with jade-like skin and was adorable. Su Junyao had already forgotten to investigate why he could hear his daughter’s thoughts, his mind filled with the words “This is his and Lanlan’s good daughter.”
Su Junyao had a bad habit: he easily frowned when he was nervous.
He wanted to hug his good daughter, but he didn’t know where to start. He had hugged his eldest son a long time ago, but the child was limp, as if he had no bones. He accidentally dislocated the arm of his eldest son, who was only a few months old.
That time, he was almost beaten to death by his dad.
Every time he approached the children, his wife would stare at him with wary eyes, as if he wasn’t the child’s dad but a kidnapper.
Over time, he stopped liking to get close to the children.
He was already unpopular, and if he hurt them, wouldn’t his wife hate him even more!
But it’s different now, this is a fragrant, soft, and precious daughter!
The more nervous he became, the more his face soured.
In Yun Jinglan’s eyes, it looked like Su Junyao didn’t like his daughter at all. Otherwise, why would he look like he was going to eat someone?
Chou Chou grinned at Su Junyao’s sour face. Her dad is so good-looking!
She remembered that the original book said that her mother had a child at an advanced age, and her dad was afraid that something would happen to her, so he went to Jing’an Temple to kowtow every step of the way to seek an amulet for her and her mother. When she was born, the amulet was delivered, but her dad fell off the mountain due to exhaustion.
Although he wasn’t seriously injured, he was unconscious for a few days.
Dad was afraid that Mother would worry, so he hid the news from others and missed her birth.
After getting out of bed, he went to the Palace to ask for a warm jade that was hard to come by in a hundred years to warm Mother’s body.
Chou Chou was an orphan fish in her previous life without a dad or mom. In this life, she must protect her family.
【Dad, did it hurt when you fell while asking for the amulet? Can your leg walk?】
Yun Jinglan was about to drive him away, but she was stunned when she heard this and subconsciously looked up at her husband.
Su Junyao was shocked how this little one would know that he went to ask for an amulet and fell down the mountain. Which ignorant servant is gossiping, where will he put his stern father’s authority in the future!
He embarrassedly looked up and met his wife’s watery eyes.
Yun Jinglan felt complicated. Her husband wasn’t by her side when she gave birth, and she resented him in her heart. In addition, she had signs of postpartum hemorrhage, and the birth was dangerous.
The Wet Nurse who served her brought an amulet, saying that it was from a sacred mountain and could protect the mother and daughter. The amazing thing was that after Qiu Yue accepted it, she suddenly felt full of strength and safely gave birth to the child, preserving the lives of the mother and daughter.
She always thought it was sent by her maternal family, but she never thought it was asked for by her husband?
“Did you ask for the amulet?”
Yun Jinglan was trembling all over, scaring Su Junyao.
【Dad, speak up! If you have a mouth, you have to say it out loud!】
【If you love her, you have to say it out loud!】
Su Junyao glanced at his daughter resentfully. How does this little baby know everything?
But this time, he really spoke up.
He awkwardly touched his nose: “Master Lu said that the amulet from Jing’an Temple protects the mother and child. I heard that the husbands of pregnant women would go to ask for one, so I joined in the fun.”
He panicked and tried to cover it up: “It wasn’t, it wasn’t on purpose!”
Chou Chou: 【Liar! Dad’s knees were kneeling until they were rotten, so he fell down the stone steps and injured the back of his head when he went down the mountain.】
【Mom, Dad is lying! There’s a big bump on the back of his head!】
Su Junyao’s secrets were all revealed by his daughter.
Fortunately, his wife doesn’t know about this stupid thing. Hehe, his wife doesn’t like this kind of stupid thing!
Yun Jinglan will know whether he is lying or not with one try.
She waved at Su Junyao and patted the empty seat next to her: “Come over.”
Hearing his wife soften her voice, Su Junyao’s eyes lit up. Could it be that, as his daughter said, he had to say it out loud if he loved her?
Is she touched?
Su Junyao moved over with the same hands and feet and sat there stiffly, his body straight. This angle is good, his wife will definitely be able to see his chiseled jawline and his specially practiced upright posture.
Yun Jinglan glanced at him. The thing about hitting his head should be true. Looking at him, his head is not straight.
Is his brain broken?
Jinze’s wings are not yet full, and he still needs his father to escort him in the Imperial Court, so he must not have an accident at this time!
Yun Jinglan’s soft little hand stroked Su Junyao’s leg.
◈◈◈
Su Junyao’s old face turned red. His wife hasn’t left confinement yet, this is not good. And he is not used to being intimate in front of his daughter, it is better to……
Aww!
Su Junyao’s face turned green, but he held back.
This time, he really didn’t dare to move!
Why is Madam pinching the wound on his leg, it hurts so much!
He must make up for today’s gaffe.
Father-in-law said that Madam likes real men with iron bones, big men shed blood and sweat but can’t shed tears!
Yun Jinglan was puzzled, why is there no reaction? Could it be that her daughter is talking nonsense?
Thinking this way, she used a little more strength on her hand.
Su Junyao: I’ll endure it!
Yun Jinglan disappointedly withdrew her hand. That amulet was probably just something he asked for casually.
However, that amulet was asked for a pregnant woman, could it be that the lowly Zheng Shi is pregnant?
Su Junyao finally escaped a disaster, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that his wife had returned to her cold appearance.
He knew that this was when his wife was feeling disgusted with him, and he should leave.
He only stayed with his wife for such a short time, he doesn’t want to leave! But he just punished his wife’s personal maid, so it’s better not to make her unhappy now.
Just as he wanted to pretend to leave casually, Chou Chou suddenly burst into tears.
The baby’s crying made the couple panic.
【Wuwuwu, Mom, just hug Dad!】
【He looks like he’s about to shatter! He blocked his colleagues for half a month in order to find out where there was a divine amulet to protect you! Have you considered the feelings of your colleagues?!】
Yun Jinglan hurriedly picked up her daughter, coaxing the little ancestor while peeking at her husband with a strange look.
He would block his colleagues because of an amulet?
Impossible!
In fact, Yun Jinglan herself didn’t know what she was expecting, but she still asked as her daughter wished: “I heard that Master Lu’s wife had a difficult pregnancy a few years ago. In order to protect her children, he specially asked for leave to ask for an amulet in the deep mountains.”
“This concubine sees that the amulet sent by the Heir is very similar to that of Madam Lu. Could it be that this was also specially asked for by my husband?”
Su Junyao stared at Chou Chou, who was blinking at him, and strongly agreed with his daughter’s words.
Yes, why doesn’t Madam hug him!
Hearing Yun Jinglan’s question, he subconsciously replied: “Naturally, I blocked Lu Wenzheng for half a month before he told me which mountain gully Jing’an Temple was in. That place is remote and delayed me for a long time.”
That Lu Wenzheng directly said that he needed to sincerely kowtow three times and nine times to go up the mountain to ask for an amulet. He didn’t make it clear that he only needed to kowtow on the steps of the main hall. He kowtowed all the way from the foot of the mountain, and his embarrassed appearance almost scared the monks in the temple to death.
The bruise on his head was still covered with fragrant powder.
When he went down the mountain, he was anxious that something had gone wrong at home, so he accidentally stepped on the air and rolled down.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have missed the birth of his little Chou Chou.
Su Junyao felt a little guilty, and carefully touched Chou Chou’s chubby little face with his hand, but he was afraid of hurting the child, so he quickly retracted his hand without daring to use any force.
He sat stiffly on the side, staring at Chou Chou. He glanced at Yun Jinglan as quickly as if he was a thief, and said, “It is my irresponsibility as a father. Madam, don’t worry, I will definitely stay by your side and our daughter’s side in the future.”
Hearing Momo report that Madam almost lost her life this time, he was so frightened that he rolled off the bed and bumped his head again.
Yun Jinglan smiled wryly. She had just decided to guard her heart and no longer have any wild thoughts, but in a blink of an eye, she knew that Su Junyao still had some affection for her.
Could it be that fate is really playing tricks on people?
Chou Chou smacked her little mouth twice, struggling to resist sleepiness, and glanced at this one with her big eyes, and then looked at that one.
【Huh, why aren’t you talking?】
【Hee hee, if you don’t talk, then I won’t talk either!】
【However, hehe, my dad actually spoke up! There’s progress, add a chicken leg!】
