“Nianyu, what a coincidence,” Ye Lanyin said with a smile, looking at her reddened hands.
Han Nianyu felt a little embarrassed by the look, and then said, "What a good-for-nothing. His father has changed his name many times, but he's still useless."
"He spends his days fighting with people in Bianjing and harassing young girls; people have come to complain about him."
"Look, today he made an appointment with a girl, and he was supposed to wear a skirt to meet her, so I chased after him and beat him up..." Madam Han was so disappointed in him that she wished she could disappear into a hole in the ground.
【Hahahaha…】Lin Wanwan laughed inwardly.
Han Nianyu suddenly looked around.
What's going on? How could she hear a baby's voice?
"This child is so beautiful..." Her gaze fell on Lin Wanwan's little head, and she was deeply attracted to her.
The child's fair face was staring at her with big, blinking eyes.
[How can Aunt Han be so beautiful? No wonder she's one of the Four Beauties of Bianjing.]
【Wuyo~】
Han Nianyu opened her mouth wide, and the handkerchief in her hand fell to the ground.
Damn, did she hear what the child was thinking?
She looked up and sized up Ye Lanyin, who had a smile on her face.
"This child..." She quickly stopped talking. How could she say such a thing so casually?
I looked up at the sky again; it was blue sky with white clouds and the sun was shining brightly.
Amitabha Buddha. It must be a divine secret!
Since it is a secret of heaven, it must not be revealed, lest there be some hidden meaning.
I need to go and offer incense tomorrow.
"This child is very naughty, and he also has a big appetite," Ye Lanyin bluntly pointed out.
Being able to eat is a blessing.
You need to be well-fed to have the energy to fight.
Han Nianyu couldn't help but laugh.
Isn't this just like her son in the future?
A sympathetic look fell upon Ye Lanyin.
"Nianyu, why did your son change his name again?"
"It's all because of his father. He thinks his name is bad. His ancestors were all generals, but he's born into a family where he doesn't know anything. All we can do is pray that he'll be good at business."
“When he was just born, the Emperor was still wary of our Yao family. But ever since he became familiar with the princes, the Emperor has never spoken ill of my husband in court.” She didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.
Ye Lanyin patted her shoulder and comforted her, "This is a good thing. If you can't be a military officer, you can be a civil official. There's always one you can do."
[Tsk tsk...]
He couldn't be a general, nor could he be a civil official...
Han Nianyu felt her heart bleed upon hearing this.
Although she was innocent in her childhood, she was a diviner, able to foresee her son's future.
He'll be a fire starter from now on.
Ye Lanyin: ……
Han Nianyu: Start a fire? She really wanted to faint on the spot.
"Mother, Mother, why did you suddenly stop?" Yao Qianshu was bored and followed the maid back.
He was wearing a woman's dress, which made him look extremely comical.
Han Nianyu wished she could smash him to death with a hammer.
It turns out he's a fire starter; isn't that a servant?
Is her prestigious, century-old family going to be ruined by her own son?
No way!
"Hey? Isn't this the little princess who stole the offerings from the imperial mausoleum the other day?"
What are you doing here?
Ye Lanyin smiled and replied to Yao Qianshu, "Qianshu, she's not a princess, she's my daughter, her name is Lin Wanwan."
Yao Qianshu shook his head. "No, even the Emperor said that she is his future daughter."
"What?" Ye Lanyin couldn't believe that these words would come from the Emperor's mouth.
The more Han Nianyu looked at her son, the more unruly he seemed. The thought of him becoming a kitchen helper in the future made her so angry that she reached out and smacked him on the head.
"You unfilial son! This is Madam Ye's daughter. What emperor or not? You dare to confuse the royal bloodline. When the emperor finds out, I will sever all ties with you!"
"Mother, what your son said is true!" Yao Qianshu touched his head, feeling wronged.
"Last time, you said you and that Sun Chengcai had become sworn brothers, and what happened? He completely ignored you!"
"The last time, you said you were going to give Miss Jiang a pen, but you ended up sneaking out to play with her."
"When have you ever told the truth?" Mrs. Han said, exasperated.
Upon hearing this, Ye Lanyin smiled and shook her head, "It's alright, he's just a kid, I won't take his words seriously."
"By the way, Lanyin, what are you doing here?"
"Oh, I've come here to look at a estate; I'm planning to buy one."
"Oh, what a coincidence. I happen to have a estate that I'd like to sell," Han Nianyu said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Ye Lanyin asked excitedly, "Really? Where is it?"
"It's just north of Bianjing. That area is quite vast and sparsely populated. We have too many estates there now."
Ye Lanyin then took out a map and drew something on it. "Is it here?"
Han Nianyu nodded, "Yes, that's it."
"Great! Nianyu, I'd like to buy the estate you own. Would you be willing to sell it to me?"
"Of course." Selling to anyone is selling, so why not sell to a friend?
After discussing it for a while, the two happily made a decision.
Yao Qianshu grew to like Lin Wanwan more and more, so he followed Hua Xin and stuck to Lin Wanwan's side.
"Your name is Lin Wanwan. Can I be your older brother from now on?"
Lin Wanwan blinked.
Will my brother protect me?
As if he could read her mind, he added, "Don't worry, I have a great reputation in Bianjing. I will protect you. If anything happens in the future, your brother will take care of it for you!"
Lin Wanwan chuckled and raised her little hand, tapping his forehead.
[My brother stamped it, hehe...]
