“Bang!”

Liu Dechang suddenly dropped the tea bowl in his hand. The tea drinkers at the tea stall all looked at him. The attendants around him hurriedly stepped forward to remind him.

"General, calm down and be aware of your status."

Liu Dechang suppressed his anger and shouted loudly:

"The tea is cold, waiter, change the pot."

Seeing that he slammed the table because the tea was cold, the people who were drinking tea continued to drink tea and chat, but the sound of chatting was much quieter than before.

The waiter responded hurriedly, and came back to him with a pot of tea. He apologized to him while holding the pot of tea and muttering softly,

"This tea shouldn't be cold. I just poured in boiling water."

"I said it's cold, so it's cold. What are you mumbling about? Get down."

At Liu Dechang's scolding, the waiter immediately frowned. Seeing that he had a dark face and that the two followers beside him were not people to be trifled with, he hurriedly picked up the pot of tea and trotted downstairs.

Listening to these people's gossip, Liu Dechang no longer had the heart to drink tea. He immediately asked his followers to pay the silver, left the tea stall, and walked towards the Duke's Mansion angrily.

Prince Yu's Mansion

Luo Lan, Luo Xue and Yu Qiaoqiao were sitting in the pavilion, drinking tea and chatting, their eyes occasionally glancing towards the children.

Yu Qiaoqiao asked softly:

"Fourth sister-in-law, didn't you invite anyone else to Huaiyu's birthday?"

"No, it's a child's birthday, and family members just need to give gifts. There's no need to let others know."

"That's right, Huaiyu is lucky to have met you, otherwise, he wouldn't be as happy as he is now."

Luo Lan had a faint smile on his face. "He has also brought us a lot of happiness. Now these children have become inseparable."

Yu Qiaoqiao smiled and praised:

"It's all thanks to your good teaching. Those children are not only polite but also sensible. Yi Chengcai has been here for a few days, and they've been able to get along well with each other. This is inseparable from you as a mother. Many times, I envy you for being able to teach children so well. I only have Xiaobao as a child, and it already makes me scratch my head."

"Xiaobao is also an obedient child, but he has become timid recently. If you have time, bring him to Prince Yu's Mansion more often and let him spend more time with these children, he will probably get better."

Yu Qiaoqiao looked up at Luo Lan, raised her handkerchief to wipe the corner of her mouth, and said softly:

"I actually really want Xiaobao to come to Prince Yu's Mansion. He's too lonely at home alone. My company is different from that of his playmates. I'm just afraid to bother you and feel a little embarrassed."

Yu Qiaoqiao seemed to be saying that as long as Luo Lan was not afraid of trouble, she would bring Xiaobao to Prince Yu's mansion often.

Luo Lan took a deep breath. She just wanted to be polite. Xiaobao was different from her four children. Although he was timid, he was rather willful. If he was allowed to come to Prince Yu's Mansion often, it would definitely make the four children dissatisfied. If they fought, it would be hard to say what would happen.

Thinking of this, she shook her head helplessly.

"I'm not afraid of trouble, but I'm worried that these four children of mine might be a bit protective of their children. If Xiaobao gets into a fight with one of them, the others will rush over and bully Xiaobao."

"Xiaobao is not afraid of being bullied."

Leng Xi's voice came from not far away. Luo Lan raised his eyebrows and looked over. Luo Xue, who had been silent all this time, showed an expression of disgust.

Yu Qiaoqiao still sat there calmly, as if Leng Xi's arrival had nothing to do with her.

Leng Xi came in front of the three of them, sat down without any hesitation, and continued to speak excitedly:

"Fourth sister-in-law, I heard that Prince Yu's Mansion is looking for a martial arts teacher. If you find a suitable person, could you send Xiaobao along? Of course, I can pay the monthly fees. I'm willing to pay half of the fees for the literature and martial arts teachers. Xiaobao only needs to have a meal here at noon, and I'll pay for it too."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Lan hurriedly shook his head and refused.

"That's inappropriate. Prince Xi knows that I already have four children. As I said earlier, they tend to be protective of their children. If Xiaobao comes, he'll definitely be bullied. You should choose another teacher to teach him on his own!"

"It's okay. Xiaobao is too cowardly. He needs to temper his temper. If he stays alone all the time, I'm afraid he will achieve nothing in the future. Please, Sister-in-law, for the sake of their shared Leng family bloodline, let Xiaobao come to Prince Yu's Mansion and study with these children!"

this……

Seeing that Luo Lan was a little embarrassed, Luo Xue said bluntly:

"Prince Xi has a large family and great wealth, so he can find any martial arts teacher he wants. Why did he have to come to Prince Yu's mansion? Is there some purpose?"

Hearing Luo Xue's words, Leng Xi's brows tightened instantly, but soon relaxed.

He calmed down and replied slowly:

"Even if there is a good martial arts teacher, it will not inspire a child's interest in learning. Otherwise, Xiaobao would not be so cowardly."

"Isn't this all thanks to you, Prince Xi? I heard that you have very strict parents. If the children say one more word, you will beat and scold them. It would be strange if they are not cowards."

Luo Xue's words made Leng Xi turn to look at Yu Qiaoqiao with some anger. He knew that these words must have been spread by Yu Qiaoqiao.

But Yu Qiaoqiao didn't look up at him. Instead, she held her chin with one hand and looked away, as if she was thinking about something.

Leng Xi knew that he was somewhat at fault regarding Xiao Bao's education, so he cleared his throat and spoke again:

"Princess Ming, what you said seems to be targeting me on purpose. Is it wrong that I have a strict upbringing? A good son is made under the stick. Hasn't Princess Ming heard the saying?"
