Chapter 26 Fu Fen He Lang

"Tuanzi, are you planning to just stand there like that?" I asked, clearing my throat.

Tuanzi quickly stepped aside, smiling as she looked at Guo Jia. "Huh? Where did this strange donkey come from?" she exclaimed in surprise, noticing the donkey behind Guo Jia.

“Mine,” Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Huh?" Tuanzi's eyes widened immediately without blinking. Then, she said something that made me want to vomit blood, "What an adorable donkey!"

What does it mean to love birds and care for birds? What does it mean to lie through your teeth? Now I've seen it all.

"It's called Xiao Mao, and it's the only keepsake my master passed down to me," Guo Jia introduced solemnly.

"Ah, Xiao Mao, what a lovely name." Tuanzi smiled, her round eyes crinkling, and stepped forward to carefully stroke the donkey. "Such a unique name..."

Of course it's special. A hairless donkey is called "Little Hair," which is obviously mocking someone for being bald.

But the donkey had a stubborn streak and actually shook its head off.

Tuanzi didn't care at all, and continued to smile sweetly, which made me feel ashamed.

"Master, is there something you need at this hour?" I asked as I invited him into the house.

"Hmm, did Madam come to cause you trouble just now?" Guo Jia asked as he entered the room.

Just as I was about to speak, I noticed that there was another person standing behind him—it was Cao Cao.

Remembering the commotion his wives had caused earlier, I gave him a cold look and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao lowered his head dejectedly.

"By the way, what's Madam Yin's background?" I asked Guo Jia, having just realized this.

"Lady Yin was originally the niece-in-law of Empress Dowager He. Later, He Jin died in the chaos caused by Dong Zhuo..." Guo Jia explained with some difficulty.

"What?" I exclaimed in surprise, then glared at Aman with disdain. "You don't even spare widows, you're something else, you lecherous devil!"

Guo Jia awkwardly raised his hand and coughed lightly.

I rolled my eyes at Aman, ignoring his innocent expression.

"Well, among the four children you saw when you first entered the manor, one of them was her son, named He Yan," Guo Jia added.

"He? Surname He?" I raised my eyebrows.

“Hmm…” Guo Jia glanced at Cao Cao again, looking troubled. “Although He Yan is young, he is quite opinionated. He believes that his surname ‘He’ is of higher status than ‘Cao’, so he resolutely refuses to change his surname.”

"Oh..." I drawled, then gave Cao Cao a disdainful look, "So our Prime Minister Cao, Lord Cao, took pity on the He family and willingly helped raise their child..."

Guo Jia coughed again, his face turning an unnatural red.

"Laugh if you want to, it's so hard to hold it in." I glanced at him sideways, grinned, and said.

Guo Jia smiled bitterly.

Ah Man stood to the side with a wronged look on his face, looking very innocent, which made me feel embarrassed to take my anger out on him anymore.

"I don't know any of them, I just want to smile." Seeing my disdainful look, Aman hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed my hand, and held up three fingers to swear.

I chuckled.

"I swear, in this life I will only have Xiaoxiao as my sole companion. If I break this oath, I will surely..." Aman said through gritted teeth when he saw that I did not believe him.

I was slightly taken aback, took a step forward, and raised my hand to cover his mouth. "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

Only Xiaoxiao? He already has a harem of wives and concubines. Making such a vow is practically suicide!

“I really…” Aman pulled my hand down with great force.

"Okay, I understand." I sighed helplessly.

"The Prime Minister will be making his usual inspection of the military camp tomorrow," Guo Jia said calmly, standing to the side.

I was stunned for a moment, and my joking mood vanished. This was probably what he wanted to say.

"It is not appropriate to spread the news that the Prime Minister has lost his memory."

"I know." I nodded and looked at the little dumpling playing with Xiao Mao outside the door.

But how long can Aman keep up this act?

Seeing Tuanzi reluctantly see Guo Jia off, I also kicked Aman into the study to practice what he would say during tomorrow's inspection.

As I turned around, I suddenly noticed a boy standing at the corner of the door. He was about the same age as Gou'er. I had seen him when I entered the mansion that day. He called him Aman's father.

Upon closer inspection, I became puzzled again. Could it be a woman dressed as a man?

He wore a magnificent brocade robe, his black hair was pulled up high, and his every glance was full of charm, especially his fair skin with a slight rosy tint, which was extremely alluring. (73)

The dog is beautiful, but the child in front of me is absolutely alluring, the kind of beauty that could topple kingdoms and cause disaster.

"What's your name?" I asked, smiling as I walked up to him without thinking.

He looked at me, his watery eyes slightly narrowed, a hint of arrogance in his expression. "Are you Father's new favorite?"

I nearly collapsed, a vein bulging on my forehead, but seeing his frail appearance, I gritted my teeth, smiled, and shook my head, "He's a friend."

"Oh," he nodded faintly.

I smiled and, without thinking, my hands climbed up to his chubby cheeks and pinched them.

"What...what are you doing!" He was extremely embarrassed, his arrogant demeanor vanished without a trace, and he could only shout and struggle with a red face.

"I never thought this place would have such good powder. You can't even tell it's there after applying it." I continued to squeeze his face, looking on with envy. "Tell me about it, I want to buy some too."

His face flushed red with rage, and he roared, "Who would be like you women!"

ah?

I was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously pressed his chest; it was completely flat.

His face was already red to his ears, rosy and quite handsome.

"What kind of shameless woman is this!" he exclaimed angrily.

I sighed and shook my head. Such alluring charm... what a pity.

"Hmph, jealousy?" He raised an eyebrow and glanced at me sideways.

I was speechless.

“That’s right. A woman as plain-looking as you should naturally reflect on her jealousy.” Although he was young, he was about the same height as me, and at this moment, he was looking down at me arrogantly.

I looked at him, blinked, and was a little stunned.

"You have no womanly qualities whatsoever. If I were you, I would have died of shame long ago. Perhaps I would be born with better looks in my next life." He looked at me with a wicked glint in his eyes, raising his rosy lips.

I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This guy, turns out he's a narcissist, haha, though he does have some reason to be narcissistic.

He was taken aback when he saw me smile.

"What's your name?" I asked with a smile.

"He Yan." He answered me subconsciously, then bit his lip in annoyance.

He Yan? Madam Yin's son?

I raised an eyebrow, "So that's how it is." I walked around him once, and indeed, seeing is believing. He was Cao Cao's adopted son, famous in history for his good looks, known as "He Lang with Powdered Face."

"What are you looking at?! A woman like you might as well go bang your head against a wall!" He Yan said angrily.

I wasn't offended. "Little beauty, it's better to watch your words."

"You...you...what did you call me?!" He was shocked and so angry that he couldn't even speak coherently.

I stared at him with amusement; he was truly a sight to behold.

He was so ashamed and angry that he turned and left without daring to linger for even a moment.
