Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaosan's eyes widened immediately. "Jiang Chao, can you please stop being such a scoundrel!"

I have never seen such a shameless person.

They didn't even care that I deliberately bumped into them, but they even dragged the hatred down to me.

“Grandma,” Jiang Chao said indignantly, “listen to what that mistress is saying, she clearly thinks you’re the bad guy!”

The old lady saw everything the two were doing. Her face immediately darkened, and her words were icy cold: "Get down here, and don't make me repeat myself!"

Those two brats, always making faces and doing silly things right in front of me, they really deserve a beating.

Thinking of this, the old lady gave her husband a wink, signaling him to replace the broom with a thick stick.

Seeing this, the old man didn't hesitate and directly picked out the largest stick from the side and handed it over.

"Dark Three, throw them both down."

"Yes, Madam."

After An San finished speaking, he leaped onto the wall, grabbed one person with each hand, and jumped down.

Then, it was thrown straight in front of the old lady.

"Milk……"

"Grandma..."

The two spoke in unison, both looking anxious, their heads bowed and buried in their chests.

“You two,” the old woman waved her cane, raised an eyebrow, and asked, “who’s first?”

"he!"

They both spoke in unison, and Jiang Chao and Huang Xiaosan glared at each other angrily, thinking that this person was a complete scoundrel.

"Then let's go together!"

After the old woman finished speaking, she swung the stick and hit her.

Since they were his own grandsons, he didn't dare to use too much force, but even so, the two of them were beaten until they were covered in bruises.

The two clever men did try to escape, but An San kept blocking their way, and the servants around them formed a circle, leaving them only able to grit their teeth and endure the torment of the storm.

After a cup of tea, the old lady leaned on her cane, panting.

This outburst completely relieved the discomfort I'd felt for the past few days. "If you dare to disobey me again, I'll break your legs."

After uttering those harsh words with great force, Old Lady Jiang snorted coldly and left.

"Don't blame your grandma, you're just unlucky to have run into her," the old man shook his head. "She was just feeling down, and then she ran into you..."

Shaking his head regretfully, the old man left with a sense of lingering satisfaction.

In his heart, he felt that the old lady hadn't been ruthless enough. It looked intimidating, but she had only hit the fleshy parts and applied some medicine, and it would have healed in a few days.

However, even though he had his own thoughts, the old man couldn't say anything. His wife was now the head of the household, and he had to be prepared to be a good helpmate.

Sigh, those two brats, they went too easy on them!

Although the two did not know what the old man was thinking, they felt uneasy under his meaningful gaze as he left.

After exchanging a glance, Jiang Chao covered her face and said, "Let's go in and see Auntie first."

Jiang Chao felt a little guilty as he said this.

Huang Xiaosan is the same.

She pursed her lips, and finally, with her neck hunched, she scurried into the backyard like a quail.

Jiang Nuan was well aware of their plight, but she never considered saving them.

In her opinion, the two of them deserved it; they brought it on themselves.

Before leaving, I repeatedly told them to behave themselves and not cause trouble, but not long after, the two of them came looking for me.

Now that everything is resolved, that's great, but what if something goes wrong?

I'm already in a lot of trouble myself, and these two brats have sneaked over here again. Who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause?

Thinking of this, Jiang Nuan's gaze toward the two grew even colder.

"Mother," Huang Xiaosan said weakly, "I know I was wrong, please don't look at me like that."

How scary!

It felt like I could be kicked out of the house at any moment.

"Your attitude is good, however," Jiang Nuan asked sharply, changing the subject, "can you guarantee you won't do it again?"

These words made Huang Xiaosan feel particularly aggrieved.

In order to avoid being beaten, he traveled all the way to the capital for protection, but as soon as he arrived home, he was caught by the old lady and beaten with sticks.

After running hundreds of miles, he still couldn't escape the beating he deserved.

Thinking about this, Huang Xiaosan felt heartbroken. He had gone through all that trouble to come here only to get beaten up...

This feeling is so suffocating!

"Yes, of course I can," his voice was already choked with sobs. "If I had known that coming to the capital would still result in a beating, I would have given up and stayed home. It would have been better if I had just stayed home. My second brother can't keep an eye on me every day."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Nuan was completely confused.

“That’s how it is,” Jiang Chao explained with a wry smile, “After you left, the second brother had nowhere to vent his energy, so he would beat us up every day. We couldn’t avoid it, so we had no choice but to come here.”

Jiang Chao's tone was pitiful, and his eyes were a little red; he was playing the victim.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan asked with a half-smile, "Really? When did you leave home?"

Why did she get the feeling that these two just wanted to go out and have some fun?

Upon hearing this, the two were taken aback and lowered their heads guiltily.

Logically, it shouldn't have taken this long to travel, but the two of them wasted a lot of time.

“Since you’re here, stay in the capital,” Jiang Nuan shook her head. “You should have heard that the old lady has been granted the title of Marquis and is ambitious to make a big splash. I’m not comfortable leaving the two of them with me. Now that you’re here, please help them out.”

Upon hearing this, the two were immediately dumbfounded.

"Mother, aren't we allowed to go back yet?"

He just wanted to get some fresh air and never thought about not going home.

After all, his wife was still at home.

A few days is fine, but long-term separation is not conducive to harmonious communication between husband and wife.

"You didn't come out on your own?"

“That’s right,” Huang Xiaosan explained weakly, “We were just worried that you might run into trouble, so we thought we’d come and see if there was anything we could do to help.”

Mentally challenged!

Jiang Chao knew things were going badly as soon as he heard those words.

Sure enough, the next moment they heard their aunt's teasing voice.

"That's right, we've indeed run into trouble and need your help."

"How can these be the same?"

"What's different?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaosan stammered for a long time but couldn't answer.

"Alright, that's enough for now," Jiang Nuan stood up. "I'm leaving Beijing tomorrow morning. You all need to help out here, otherwise..."

He chuckled softly, then continued, "You've all been through this. Not everyone has a good temper like me, especially the old lady. She was always domineering, and now that she's a marquis..."

Jiang Nuan didn't say anything more, leaving the two of them to use their imaginations.

After Jiang Nuan left, Huang Xiaosan and Jiang Chao looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Jiang Chao, what do we do now?"

Thinking of the old lady made him feel a pang of pain all over his body.

"It's all your fault, you idiot!"

Why use this reason when there are no other options? It makes it impossible to refuse.

"Why blame me? If you hadn't insisted on sightseeing along the way, would we have arrived in the capital so late?"

"I don't want to talk to someone who is mentally challenged."

Jiang Chao felt a headache coming on, snorted coldly, and left with his hands behind his back.

He discovered that Huang Lin was running wildly down the path of making foolish mistakes, and no one could stop him, yet he was completely unaware of it and always thought he was the smartest.

With a brain like that, are you sure you can really do business? Don't end up getting swindled out of everything.
