Yes, because of Mo Xun and the twin brothers, Lin Xiazhu's status in Bai Zhengping's eyes has risen accordingly. Now, Bai Zhengping favors Lin Xiazhu in everything, or more accurately, he favors his three great-grandchildren.
He rushed home, wanting to sound out his granddaughter-in-law's thoughts. After all, Bai Junbai was his son, and he was worried. Moreover, Bai Junbai was already quite old and had finally found someone he liked and wanted to marry. As his father, he couldn't be an obstacle to Bai Junbai's support.
If possible, he would like to lend a hand, but his secretive help angered his granddaughter-in-law.
When he got home, he didn't see Lin Xiazhu. Dinner was just around the corner, why hadn't she come downstairs yet? Bai Zhengping called the housekeeper over and asked, "Where is the young mistress?"
"Grandpa, the young mistress was upset today." Then she told him what had happened at home that afternoon.
Therefore, Lin Xiazhu was very angry about Lin Taozi being with her son and wished she could immediately fly there and bring her back. This made things difficult, as even Mingxuan did not approve. Whether Junbai's marriage could go through was still a question. Don't think that just because they had run away with her, everything was settled; it was still uncertain.
Bai Zhengping lowered his eyelids and remained silent for a long time. The butler stood aside, not daring to utter a sound, until he heard him order, "Have someone go upstairs and call the young master and young mistress down for dinner. No matter how angry they are, they must eat their fill. Adults can bear it, but can the little ones?"
"The young masters have already had some refreshments," the butler said, meaning he shouldn't worry.
But Bai Zhengping misunderstood. He felt that the housekeeper was not being sensible. After so many years with him, they had become less and less in sync. He naturally knew that he couldn't let the three little ones go hungry. He just wanted to see Lin Xiazhu and see if he could get a few words out of her.
Sigh, in the end, he still cared a lot about his youngest son's marriage and couldn't help but want to help him. If Junbo hadn't been so old and unruly, and if he hadn't been so hard to get him to marry, he wouldn't have agreed to let Lin Taozi into the family.
Leaving aside the issue of whether the family background is suitable, the status itself is inappropriate. The granddaughter-in-law's sister, how can Xiaozhu call Lin Taozi "Auntie" in the future? Even if family members are easy to talk to and can disregard seniority and address each other as before.
But it will still make outsiders laugh, and inevitably become the subject of gossip among those in the circle. I'm afraid that every time I attend a banquet, I will be ridiculed and mocked.
"Just go when I tell you to invite them over. Why all the fuss?" Bai Zhengping sneered.
The butler was taken aback, but immediately understood. He had been foolish just now. He always thought that the old man cared about the young masters, worrying all day about whether the three little family members were hungry, warm, or hot. But he had overlooked the fact that Young Master Bai was also his biological son, and had once been his most beloved youngest son.
The old man was worried about Bai Shao and anxious to know the young mistress's attitude.
Upstairs, Lin Xiazhu held the two little ones, looking sullen. The twins seemed to sense their mother's bad mood; they hadn't moved much since she came in and held them for over ten minutes, but their eyes were starting to dart around, indicating they were about to give up.
Especially little Mo Fan, the little guy took a deep breath, anxiously wondering how to tell his parents that he needed to pee and didn't want to stay still. He wanted to get up and jump around a bit to feel happy. The little guy looked to his father for help with his eyes.
But Bai Ru'an only had his wife in his eyes. At this moment, he didn't care about his son's difficulties. He just wanted to appease his wife first, as she had been sulking all afternoon and hadn't calmed down yet.
Hearing the knocking, Mo Fan jumped off his mother's arms and shouted, "Mommy, Daddy, someone's knocking!"
Bai Ru'an glared at her youngest son without showing any emotion. "You brat, you're so good at listening to rumors. I knew you couldn't stay still for a while."
Don't assume that just because he's young he can't read the room. Little Mo Fan was quick to notice that his father had just given him a hard time, and he immediately complained, "Mom, Dad glared at me when you weren't looking."
This is the benefit of having excellent language skills from a young age—being able to speak clearly and understandably.
Sure enough, Lin Xiazhu immediately straightened her face and said, "An, how could you glare at Mo Fan in front of him? That's so disrespectful."
"It was my fault, there won't be a next time." Bai Ru'an readily admitted her mistake, but her eyes held a murky light as she looked at her youngest son.
Mo Fan Baby: "..." Don't think he doesn't understand. Mom is definitely closer to Dad. She even taught Dad to glare at him from behind. Waaah, I'm a little sad.
"Papa, no, don't glare at me, I'll be good." Although Mo Hang's expressive ability is a bit poor, he is very good at pleasing people. He is really the most well-behaved and sweetest-talking of the three babies.
Bai Ru'an was indeed pleased. He patted Mo Hang's head with satisfaction and smiled gently at him. Of his three sons, Mo Hang was the most attached to him and the best at coaxing him, so he was somewhat biased towards his second son. However, he couldn't show it. If his wife found out, the consequences would be severe.
The servants knocked on the door for a long time but no one came out to open it, so they had to call out loudly: "Young master, young mistress, the old master wants you to bring the young masters downstairs for dinner. The food is ready and on the table."
"Let's go downstairs and eat first. No matter how upset you are, you can't let your stomach suffer," Bai Ru'an coaxed gently.
"Ah, I need to pee." Xiao Mofan was busy talking just now, and only now did he cover his little genitals and run to the bathroom.
"Me too, I want to go too." Mo Hang struggled to get down; he also wanted to pee.
Lin Xiazhu was used to it; the twins did almost everything at the same time—eating, sleeping, drinking, relieving themselves, talking, getting sick, etc., all basically in sync.
She got up and followed them into the bathroom. The two little ones were not even two years old, but at this age when they could still walk a little unsteadily and their manual dexterity was not very strong, they liked to do everything by themselves.
If someone can't do something well but doesn't let others help, it's not because they're particularly sensible or capable; it's just that they're curious about everything and want to try everything. To put it bluntly, they just like to cause trouble.
If we let them go to the toilet by themselves, they're bound to get their crotches wet. They'll have to change their pants countless times a day. Luckily, we have plenty of pants at home, so changing them a few times isn't a problem.
Lin Xiazhu walked over quickly and helped Mo Fan pull down his underwear, but the little guy got a little angry and pushed her hand away, saying in a childish voice, "No, no Mommy, I want to do it myself."
"Pull it down a little, or you'll have to change your pants again, you little rascal." Lin Xiazhu said with a laugh, affectionately flicking his high nose.
"Mommy, I'm not wet, I'm not wet." Mo Hang quickly took credit, pulling his pants down low so they weren't wet.
"Great job, Mo Hang is amazing!" Lin Xiazhu praised him generously and patted his head.
Mo Hang chuckled, but Mo Fan was a little unconvinced and shouted, "I'm great too, Mom, I'm great too!"
“Yes, you’re amazing too. Mo Hang and Mo Fan are both amazing babies, they’re Mommy’s little darlings.” Lin Xiazhu was amused, and the gloom she had felt all afternoon seemed to vanish.
