Chapter 48

Huo Family Academy

Master Li was on the podium. Seeing Huo Rui and the others dozing off on their desks listlessly, he angrily slapped the podium twice.

“Pah!”

"You guys haven't woken up yet." He pointed at the bright sun outside the window and said, "It's broad daylight now, not night, so hurry up and concentrate on memorizing. If I find you still dozing off, don't even think about going home after school until you memorize everything you learned today."

"ah?"

Several children in the classroom quickly sat up straight and held their backs upright. Trying to dispel the sleepiness in my body. Otherwise, if Master Li really caught me, he would not let me go home.

Ever since Master Li was tormented last time, I don't know who gave him the bad idea that he didn't need to use the ruler to hit people on the palms, but directly punished them by making them stay in class and recite lessons. This is a more painful punishment for them than being slapped on the palm.

Huo Shun whispered to Huo Rui, "Boss, why hasn't Mrs. Huo come to the school these past two days?"

"She went back to the Luo family, saying that her cousin was sick."

Huo Ze said with some envy: "You are so nice, sir. If you don't want to come to the school, you don't have to come."

Huo Shun said, "You can pretend to be sick."

"You can only use it twice a month. If you use it more than that, people will be suspicious." Huo Ze said with a bitter face.

Huo Shun looked around and said, "Have you noticed that without Mrs. Huo here, everyone seems to be less interested in studying?"

Huo Yu smiled and said, "That's because you're afraid of being chased out to weed again."

Huo Shun glared at him angrily, "How dare you bring this up, you traitor."

"This is called a man of insight." Huo Yu said frankly without any guilt.

Huo Rui frowned, wondering if that woman was deliberately making up an excuse to stay at her parents' home so that she wouldn't have to go to school.

In order to help Yin Miaoshan change her mood, Luo Chaoyan took her to a pear tree farm of the Luo family to relax.

On the way, Pineapple acted as the host and introduced in detail the delicious food and fun places in Kyoto.

I heard Chunyue and Xiayu’s faces full of longing. They are all young girls, how can they not like to play?

"Pineapple, how come you still like to eat it so much now that you're in Kyoto?" Haruzuki joked.

Fengli looked proud and said, "So what? Madam said that being able to eat is a blessing. I will eat more and bring some blessings to Madam."

Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "Pineapple, I also said that women who are too fat are not good-looking, why didn't you listen?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Pineapple and couldn't help laughing.

Pineapple said seriously, "Between eating and looking good, I'd choose eating."

"Ha ha!"

Several people were talking and laughing along the way, which made Yin Miaoshan very happy.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Li Zhuang.

Manager Zhang from Li Zhuang had been waiting at the door early with the farm's maids and nannies. When they saw them arrive, they greeted them with a smile.

"Fourth Miss!"

Luo Chaoyan greeted him with a smile: "Manager Zhang."

Manager Zhang saw a girl standing next to her who looked unfamiliar, and asked, "Who is this girl..."

"She's my cousin. She just came to Kyoto. I wanted to bring her here to relax."

Luo Chaoyan looked at Yin Miaoshan and introduced her, "This is Manager Zhang from Lizhuang."

Manager Zhang smiled and said, "So it's my cousin. I was wondering why she looks a bit like the fourth lady." He bowed to Yin Miaoshan, "Cousin!"

"Manager Zhang!" Yin Miaoshan nodded.

Manager Zhang arranged for people to take the girls' luggage off the carriage and move it into the house.

Then he led the two girls to the courtyard, "Fourth Miss, Cousin, please come in."

Yin Miaoshan looked around the yard with some curiosity. Although the yard was not as majestic as the one in Kyoto, it looked like an ordinary two-story house. However, the surrounding area is filled with flowers and plants, and the layout looks very elegant.

"Cousin, do you like it here?" Luo Chaoyan asked her.

Yin Miaoshan smiled and nodded.

"Then let's pack our luggage first, and then we'll go to the mountain outside the courtyard to pick pears." Luo Chaoyan said with a smile, "The pears on that mountain are so sweet."

After putting the luggage away, Luo Chaoyan asked Manager Zhang to get busy.

Manager Zhang was worried that something might happen to the girls when they went up the mountain, so he asked two guards to go with them.

In order to make it easier to walk, Yin Miaoshan and Luo Chaoyan dressed as men.

Yin Miaoshan touched her combed hair and said with a smile, "Cousin, it seems like we are back in the old days, when you took us out to play secretly and dressed like this."

"We are out here to have fun openly now." Luo Chaoyan raised her eyebrows and then said, "Let's go!"

Just as they walked out of the courtyard, they saw a group of guards escorting a carriage hurriedly coming not far away.

Pineapple noticed that the person driving the carriage looked like Butler Huo.

"Young Madam, it seems to be Butler Huo."

"What is he doing here!" Luo Chaoyan was stunned.

“Ouch!”

After Butler Huo stopped the carriage, he got out, lifted the curtain, and let the young masters in the carriage get off.

Huo An was the first to struggle and asked Butler Huo to carry him down first.

As soon as he landed and saw Luo Chaoyan, he ran towards him happily.

"Mother!"

Huo An was a bit plump and he rushed over and almost knocked her down.

Pineapple hurriedly supported her.

Huo An grabbed Luo Chaoyan's hand and said in an accusing tone, "Mother! You are bad!"

Luo Chaoyan pinched his chubby face and said with a smile, "What's wrong with me?"

Huo An snorted, "Mother! Don't... take... An An! to play!"

Yin Miaoshan was amused by his cute appearance. She looked at Luo Chaoyan, and then said with a look of shared hatred, "Yes, your mother is really bad. She insisted on making people drink that bitter medicine."

Huo An's face frowned when he heard this and he shook his head in panic, "Mother, no...don't drink it!" He remembered that the medicine was not tasty and was very bitter.

"Ha ha!"

Yin Miaoshan couldn't help but laugh and raised her hand to rub his little head, but Huo An slapped her hand away.

His eyes were somewhat alert, "Don't... move!"

"An An, don't be rude. She is your mother's cousin. You should call her aunt." Luo Chaoyan looked at Huo An seriously.

Huo An looked at her, pursed his lips, and looked a little reluctant. He lowered his head and stretched his little head, "Cousin...Aunt!"

Does this mean that she should rub it?

Yin Miaoshan smacked her lips, a little stunned. How could this naughty kid listen to her cousin so much?

She rubbed his little head and said, "An An, you are so good."

As she spoke, she took out a small porcelain bottle from her purse and handed it to him, "An An, this is a gift from your cousin."

Huo An looked at his mother and saw her nod, then he took it. He opened the bottle cap and instantly a milky aroma wafted out. His eyes lit up and he quickly poured out a candy and put it in his mouth. The sweet and glutinous milky aroma in his mouth made him look very satisfied.

He smiled sweetly at Yin Miaoshan like a little sly man and said, "Hello, cousin... aunt!"

"Ha ha!"

Yin Miaoshan tapped his little nose and said, "Why don't you go home with your aunt?" She looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand and tempted him, "There are still a lot of candies at your aunt's house."

Huo An opened his eyes wide and asked, "A lot?"

Yin Miaoshan nodded, "Yes! A lot!"

Huo An thought about it, then he held her hand with one hand and Luo Chaoyan's hand with the other, and said, "Mother, we have to go together!"

"Haha!" Yin Miaoshan looked at Luo Chaoning and said, "This kid is not stupid."

Luo Chaoyan rolled her eyes at her. How could the Huo family's children be so stupid?

"Young Madam!" Butler Huo stepped forward and saluted.

Standing behind him were Huo Rui, Huo Yu, Huo Ze and Huo Shun.

Luo Chaoyan frowned and asked, "Butler Huo, what is this?"

Without waiting for Butler Huo to speak, Huo Rui crossed his arms and said proudly, "Great-grandmother asked the clan leader to give us two days off."

"Then what?" Luo Chaoyan was speechless. It was a holiday so what? Was there any need to chase her and show off?

Butler Huo said awkwardly, "Young Madam, these young masters are listless in the school every day, so the old lady wants them to go out and relax."

"Well, knowing that the young mistress is here, she asked me to bring the young masters here."

What does this mean? Let her take over these bastards? What is this old lady thinking? She looked at Huo Rui and saw that he had a smug look on his face, which made her so angry that her teeth itched. This guy must have done it on purpose.
