Mrs. Song was amused by Steward Li's words, her eyes crinkling with laughter. "Oh, it's all because the children are obedient. Boys aren't always as attentive, so it's good that they're lively."

"The old lady is right." Steward Li was also very happy to see his son being praised by his master. He honestly scratched his head and chuckled.

Song's mother and Qingyin strolled in the woods for a while and picked a few pears. Song's mother had been staying at home for a long time and hadn't exercised like this in a long time, so she felt tired.

Seeing that Qingyin wasn't tired and was even picking pears with great interest, a sight Qingyin had never shown since returning home, her heart softened. Not wanting to disturb Qingyin's interest, she waved her hand, telling her two sons to keep an eye on things and to make sure Qingyin and Niannian were brought back if their daughter got tired.

With their mother gone, Song Yuebai and Song Fengqing, the two brothers, felt even more carefree without parental supervision.

Song Fengqing ran up to Qingyin and said with a smile, "Sister, Niannian, I heard from Steward Li that the gate behind this forest leads to the back mountain, and there are many small animals inside. I heard there are rabbits and foxes too. I'll go catch one for you to play with."

"Wow, little rabbit, little fox, Uncle is so amazing, I love him so much!" Song Fengqing's vanity was piqued by Xiao Niannian's adoring gaze.

He patted his chest and said, "Niannian, your uncle guarantees to hunt a little fox and a little rabbit for you."

Recalling how cunning the fox was and how difficult it was to catch it alive, Song Fengqing changed his mind before he could finish speaking.

This caused Song Yuebai to turn her head and roll her eyes at her silly younger brother.

Fortunately, Song Zhenbao likes all kinds of small animals and doesn't feel there's any difference.
