Chapter 15 Brother, Alive

The next day, Su Junyao indeed personally sent the twins back to the academy and instructed the dean to keep a close watch on them.

I looked back at my two sons with red eyes and instantly felt in a good mood.

These two guys are so bold that they dared to bully my little sister. It’s time they learn to suffer!

Su Jingwen and Su Xiucheng both had dark faces; they were unhappy. But their father, from behind, looked happy down to the last hair.

Jiang Yuming, the grandson of Grand Tutor Jiang, put his arm around Su Xiucheng's shoulder and leaned closer with his round face: "Xue Zheng said that the Prince of Ying's mansion has two excellent horses at the horse farm. Let's go ride the horses together for the riding and archery class tomorrow!"

Jiang Yuming is fat and has a big heart.

He could already picture himself riding a horse, looking dashing and heroic!

"Well, then I'm sure Gu Shixu and the others will be envious to death!"

Su Xiucheng's eyes lit up, and he was about to agree when his brother grabbed his arm. "What's wrong?"

Su Jingwen shook his head: "No, I'm afraid of horses."

“Chiu Chiu said I need to stay away from the horses. Yu Ming, I can't travel with you anymore.”

Jiang Yuming looked disappointed and stared at Su Xiucheng with a nervous expression: "And what about you?"

Su Xiucheng blinked, recalling his younger sister's anxious and worried little voice, and immediately covered his chubby face: "Sorry, I've been afraid of people lately. Qiuqiu said I have to protect my beautiful little face!"

Jiang Yuming: "???"

The twins held Jiang Yuming's shoulders, one on each side, and said in unison, "Brother Yuming, we won't be going with you."

After saying that, the two of them left with their hands behind their backs. They had to hurry up and study. Otherwise, Jiujiu would definitely laugh at them the next time they went back!

If you're going to be an older brother, you should act like one!

Jiang Yuming scratched his head as he watched their receding backs.

Who is Qiuqiu? She's so terrifying that she can actually subdue the two little tyrants of the academy!

That’s awesome!

Little did she know that she had become the most terrifying presence in the academy before she was even weaned, and right now she was naked, waiting to be bathed.

She struggled to wave her little hands to cover her naked body; she was now a human cub and already had a sense of shame!

[Waaaaah, Aunt Dongxiao, why are you touching me? I'm so shy!]

Jiujiu wanted to take a bath today, and Yun Jinglan couldn't get out of bed. However, she was worried about Jiujiu leaving her sight, so she took advantage of the good weather and brought water to give her a bath in the house.

Hearing the shy little baby voice, Yun Jinglan felt uncomfortable trying to hold back her laughter.

Although Qiuqiu drinks cow's milk, it doesn't stop her from growing up chubby and fair-skinned. The way she moves her little limbs is like a little dumpling. No wonder Dongxiao likes to pinch her little arms and legs when no one is looking.

[Ouch, so shy~]

【Chiu Chiu is innocent!】

Dong Xiao didn't know what the little thing was mumbling. He poked it on the left and pinched it on the right. He watched Jiujiu gradually turn into a small pink ball before handing her to the nanny to wash.

Jiujiu likes to play in the water. With the help of Mama, he sinks into the water and splashes his feet from time to time.

The nanny who was serving her got splashed with water, patted her cheeks, and said to Yun Jinglan in a flattering tone, "Young Miss has strong legs and is well fed."

The kick made my arm hurt!

Yun Jinglan recalled that Qiuqiu always called herself a little koi fish, and her carefree appearance truly proved the meaning of "like a fish in water".

It was so cold now that even though there was a charcoal brazier burning in the house, I didn't dare to wash Jiujiu for too long. I just rubbed her briefly and then picked her up from the water.

Once out of the water, Chiu Chiu collapsed limply into Dong Xiao's arms. [Warning, warning!]

Alarm bells rang in Yun Jinglan's heart. What was she about to prophesy?

A soft, childlike voice carried a sense of desolation and heaviness: "This isn't a bath, it's more like kissing hot water!"

Yun Jinglan: “…”

Yun Jinglan was so angry she laughed. She hugged the wrapped-up Qiuqiu and couldn't help but pinch her little nose.

"You, why is your little head always full of strange and wonderful things?"

With two soft chirps and a wriggling of its round little body, it seemed to say: "I am who I am, a unique spark."

Her mother didn't understand; every koi is unique. Chief Fu Niu said that Chiu Chiu is the most special being in the koi clan.

The special little koi is the smartest!

Yun Jinglan suddenly remembered the legend of the divine carp that had suddenly spread in the capital and felt a moment of disorientation.

Divine carp? Carp?

Could it be related to Chirp?

Yun Jinglan was unaware that she was only one step away from the truth. Just as she was about to reach the correct answer, Xia Zhi hurriedly pushed open the door and rushed in.

"Madam! A messenger from the academy reports that the Third Young Master and the Fourth Young Master had riding and archery lessons at the East City Horse Ranch today. Some students fell from their horses, and the runaway horses trampled and injured many students!"

horse?

Chirp's expression turned serious, her little fists clenched: [Where's Chirp's brother?]

Yun Jinglan remembered that Qiuqiu had said there would be a horse kicking the third brother's butt. She swayed and probably would have fallen if Qiuyue hadn't supported her.

"Could it be said that the Third and Fourth Young Masters were injured?"

Xia Zhi shook her head: "No. I just borrowed the family doctor."

The stampede caused by the mad horse in the east of the city was serious. Most of the doctors from the capital had gone to the city, and when the servant returned to report the news, he even took the imperial physician with him.

Yun Jinglan's face turned pale. She handed Qiujiu to Qiuyue, lifted the covers, and was about to get out of bed.

"Come on, prepare the horses!"

"I want to go to Qingyun Temple!"

Her child!

The maids and servants in the room rushed over to stop her.

"Madam, you're still in your postpartum period, how can you be exposed to the wind!"

"That's right. If I were to fall ill, how would I explain it to Master and Madam? Miss, please lie down quickly. I've already sent a servant to Qingyang Academy. Don't worry."

Yun Jinglan broke free from Dong Xiao's hand. "No, I'm not at ease. I have to go and see for myself!"

Last time, Qiuqiu said it was true that someone poisoned her. What if it's true this time too?

Seeing how nervous her mother was, Qiuqiu became nervous too: 【Mother, don't go! Let Qiuqiu go!】

【Chirp is a lucky charm, Chirp is the best!】

Lucky koi fish, those who see it will have good fortune.

If we take Qiuqiu with us, we'll surely turn bad luck into good and guarantee that the two older brothers will be as healthy and lively as Qiuqiu!

Yun Jinglan hesitated, her gaze falling on Qiuqiu with surprise and doubt. Should she let Dongxiao take Qiuqiu with her?

But it was freezing cold outside, and Chiu Chiu wasn't even a month old yet...

no!

Both children are her flesh and blood; in this cold weather, it's not so easy for a child to catch a chill. She was worried about her two sons, but she couldn't risk taking care of Qiuqiu.

[Mom, believe me! I'm incredibly lucky!]

A struggle flashed across Yun Jinglan's face, but before she could come up with a solution, the door was suddenly pushed open.

A gust of cold wind blew in, and everyone in the room couldn't help but shiver.

Chuchu's surprise: 【Brother!】

Yun Jinglan looked closely and saw Su Junyao pushing the twins into the house. When he saw everyone staring at him, he stopped closing the door.

Su Junyao was overjoyed. He should have believed Qiuqiu's words and shamelessly gone to Jingxin Garden; now everyone there was so happy to see him!

Chirp chirped loudly: "Mommy, look!"

[Brother, he's alive!]

Twins: "???"

If it's not alive, could it be dead?
