Lin Chang'an was so frightened that he shrank back.
"Mother, please let your son explain."
As Lin Chang'an spoke, he put Lin Wanwan on the ground and ran away before Ye Lanyin's wooden stick could fall.
Why is he so unlucky today?
He was beaten by Sun Rugo.
He ran back, and his mother beat him again.
Now they're running away again...
"Help! Mother, please let your son explain!"
"It's not what you think. Your son has his reasons."
Ye Lanyin grabbed her weapon and chased Lin Chang'an all over the mansion.
"At such a young age, instead of studying properly, he dares to sign up for the martial arts examination?"
"Are you out of your mind?"
"You spend your days eating, drinking, and having fun without your mother caring about you, and now you dare to risk your life? I'm so angry!"
Lin Chang'an ran away crying, muttering "Help!"
Hua Xin held Lin Wanwan in her arms, watching her eat with her mouth full of oil.
I felt so heartbroken.
"Young lady, what did you eat outside?"
How could you eat so much oil?
Lin Wanwan chattered on and on, explaining to Hua Xin what she had just eaten outside.
Painting Heart and Painting Plum Blossoms cannot hear her inner voice.
I could only faintly hear words like 'kill,' 'win,' and 'chicken.'
After guessing for a long time, I could barely string together a sentence.
"Girl, you said you won a cockfight and killed the chicken?"
The little guy nodded happily.
His limbs never stopped waving, until he entered the Hibiscus Courtyard.
Marquis Zhenbei stood not far away with Lin Shiming, watching Ye Lanyin run around the mansion.
His eyes revealed a look of disgust.
Such a lack of decorum is truly a disgrace to the Marquis's mansion. What lady would chase her child all over the mansion like that?
"Shiming, your father will definitely find you a master to teach you martial arts properly."
"You can't let your father down then, understand?"
A smile that seemed out of place on Lin Shiming's childlike face appeared.
He said with a smug look on his face, "Of course, your son will not let you down. Your son will be like his elder brother and bring honor to the Marquis's mansion."
The Marquis of Zhenbei looked at Lin Shiming with satisfaction and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.
"Good boy, study hard. Your father is counting on you and your older brother."
"Yes, Father."
Looking at his eyes, which were faintly dark, the Marquis of Zhenbei frowned and said, "Why are your eyes so dark these days?"
"Did you not sleep well last night?"
Lin Shiming shuddered upon hearing this.
"Perhaps, I didn't sleep well."
"I heard from your grandmother last time that you read yellow books?"
Lin Shiming fiddled with his cuffs, rolling them up nervously.
The first time Lin Wanwan was caught reading pornographic books was when she was just born. At that time, her mother punished her by making her kneel in the ancestral hall.
His stepmother defended him, and his mother revealed his secrets.
He felt ashamed that his father had brought it up so openly.
"Father, your son has changed."
“I know I am too young to be looking at these things. I have been behaving myself since what happened with the maid last time.”
When the Marquis of Zhenbei heard him say that, he believed him.
He looked at Lin Shiming with satisfaction and said earnestly:
"It's good that it's been changed. Go back now. I'll figure out how to get you to become an apprentice."
"yes."
Lin Shiming left the front hall in high spirits.
Marquis Zhenbei stood still, his expression solemn.
Becoming an apprentice?
Who should I contact?
After being chased all over the mansion by Ye Lanyin, Lin Chang'an returned to Furong Garden covered in sweat.
She immediately threw down the wooden stick and ordered the maid to close the courtyard gate.
"Quick, let Mother see if you're injured."
Lin Chang'an, catching his breath, sat down on the stone steps of a flower bed not far away.
"Mother, no need to look, your son is fine."
"Good, good, it's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright." Ye Lanyin smiled and stepped forward to pull him up. "Come in quickly and tell your mother what you've done."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'an narrowed his eyes and followed him inside with a grin.
Lin Wanwan changed into clean clothes and sat on the ground playing with Tianfeng.
"Wind~"
"Wind~"
"Clock~"
The little guy pried open Tianfeng's beak with both hands, picked up the tooth-grinding meat stick that had fallen to the ground, and then stuffed it into Tianfeng's mouth.
"Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp..."
Tianfeng screamed wildly.
Both chicken feet and chicken wings were used.
My dear master, this is a once-in-a-century event; it's enough to choke me to death.
Hua Xin was startled when she saw Lin Wanwan's appearance.
They hurriedly took the teething stick out of Tianfeng's mouth.
"Oh dear, young lady, you can't eat this chicken."
"You'll die."
This is no ordinary chicken; it was one that made a contribution during the sacrificial rites in the main hall.
If he were to die, many people would probably be heartbroken.
A few days ago.
He made meritorious contributions to the Tianfeng sacrificial ceremony.
The ministers in the court all knew that it was this chicken that had lit up the spirit pearl.
When Ye Lanyin carried Lin Wanwan away from the palace, they were blocked by many ministers.
He promised to exchange it for ten thousand taels of gold.
The little one burst into tears. In the end, it was because of the violent storm, lightning, and thunder that the emperor was furious and finally gave up their hopes.
Will I die?
No way?
In heaven, she eats the food I drop on the ground...
Ye Lanyin: ...Being her pet is a miserable life.
Lin Chang'an: ...Is it arrogant of you to eat the things you dropped on the ground?
Lin Chang'an told Ye Lanyin everything that had happened that day, without missing a single word.
