Once released, Gou Dan and several other mischievous children went wild, running and making a ruckus on the boat.
The noisy sounds brought life to the whole boat.
Feng He sent men to guard the area in case anyone accidentally fell into the water.
Sometimes, when things got really heated, Sister-in-law Zhou would grab a stick and start hitting people.
The group of children cried loudly in pain, but no one stopped them. Instead, they told her to hit harder and teach them a lesson.
Zhen Wanwan took out a bag of sunflower seeds and fruit and laid it out. Everyone chatted and gossiped while eating sunflower seeds.
It had the lively atmosphere of Chinese New Year, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
It's a pity the wine isn't ready yet; otherwise, enjoying the sea view while savoring the wine would be a truly delightful experience!
"Madam, watch your step."
Madam Fang, accompanied by a group of maids and servants, came over to them carrying snacks.
Seeing this, the laughter and chatter subsided considerably, and everyone looked over with curiosity.
Unexpectedly, the Fang family's old woman blocked their view.
The old woman stared expressionlessly at everyone except the Zhen family.
"Hmph! What's so great about it?"
Sister-in-law Zhou curled her lip and disdainfully looked away.
When the Fang family overheard Zhou's words, Zhou's sister-in-law hurriedly pulled her back.
"Sister-in-law! Let's continue our conversation!"
The maids behind Madam Fang had already set out the tables, chairs, and benches.
After wiping it clean with a handkerchief, he invited Madam Fang to sit down.
After this display of skill, the unsophisticated crowd all stopped eating sunflower seeds.
The atmosphere began to become awkward.
Only the mischievous children were still playing and laughing.
Zhen Wanwan didn't feel inferior at all; instead, she looked at the exhausted Madam Fang with a strange expression.
Those dark circles under your eyes mean you didn't sleep well last night!
But this has nothing to do with her.
Zhen Wanwan stopped paying attention to the person opposite her, grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds, and chatted while basking in the sun.
This leisurely demeanor made Madam Fang secretly grit her teeth.
She's been having nightmares every night for the past few days.
In her dream, Zhang Zhelan was holding a bloodstained broadsword and kept chasing her, saying that she wanted to go down and join her.
She was so frightened that she couldn't sleep at night and had no energy during the day.
The weather was nice today, so she thought she'd go out and soak up some sun.
Unfortunately, I ran into Zhen Wanwan again.
Having learned her lesson after being wronged once or twice, she no longer easily provokes Zhen's family.
"Waaaah..." Mother! Mother! I want my mother!
Sweetie was having a great time playing with the adults when she looked up and saw Madam Fang's gloomy face.
She was so frightened that she thought she had returned to the days when she was imprisoned in her previous life.
Sister-in-law Zhou, who was holding Tianbao, was also startled by her crying.
Seeing that she was not injured, he handed it to Zhen Wanwan.
"I don't know why, I was laughing happily just now, and then I started crying in the blink of an eye."
Sister-in-law Zhou only had two sons, but she adored little girls.
Every time, I would stare at Tianbao with envy, wishing I could take her home and make her my own daughter.
Seeing her crying so bitterly, I was at a loss for what to do.
Zhen Wanwan smiled and took Tianbao from her, checking her diaper.
"She probably peed! I'll change her diaper!"
She opened her small backpack and pulled out a brand new diaper.
"Yours is so much better! Not a single pee leaked out!"
"That's right! Look, the baby's bottom is still dry after peeing!"
"Yes! Zhenniangzi is so skillful. This is so much better than the crooked and broken things we make ourselves!"
"......"
The murmurs and whispers reached Madam Fang's ears.
At first, she couldn't help but take a second look at Tianbao because she thought she was cute.
Who would have thought she would burst into tears the next second!
Zhen Niangzi is detestable, and her child is just as detestable!
However, the diapers in her hand were quite unusual.
Thinking of her own frail daughter, and comparing her to the other girl, who was fair-skinned, chubby, and looked very healthy, she felt a pang of sadness.
Madam Fang felt a sharp pain and heartache in her heart.
"Go and bring the young lady and young master out to bask in the sun."
"Yes! This servant will go right away."
Because of the wet nurse incident, Madam Fang took the two children with her and cared for them day and night.
She was looking at her energetic child who was running around, so she wanted to let her two children out for some fresh air as well.
Fang Qiyuan followed obediently behind the maid, dressed like a noble young master.
However, his eyes kept glancing in Yun'er's direction, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Looking at her eldest son's demeanor and then at that group of peasant-like boys, Madam Fang proudly puffed out her chest.
How can these wild children compare to her Yuan'er!
"Yuan'er, come here!"
Madam Fang straightened Fang Qiyuan's collar and said affectionately.
"Isn't studying tiring?"
"Mom! I'm not tired!"
He didn't feel tired at all. With his mother by his side, he only needed to learn a few characters each day.
"Yuan'er, you're doing great! You must study hard, so your grandfather will like you even more!"
Thinking of his grandfather's strictness, Fang Qiyuan couldn't help but tremble a few times, but in front of his mother, he still nodded happily.
Mother said that he must study hard so that Grandpa will value their branch of the family and allow Father to inherit the marquisate.
He will then be able to inherit the position of heir apparent.
"Fang Qiyuan! Do you want to play with us?"
Dog Egg was delighted to see Fang Qiyuan, whom he had originally intended to take as his underling, and invited him over.
Madam Fang glared at Gou Dan with displeasure and gave Fang Qiyuan a stern warning.
"Didn't I tell you not to play with these wild kids?!"
Dog Egg was stunned into place by Madam Fang's disgusted look.
Seeing this, Zhen Wanwan hurriedly called Gou Dan back: "Gou Dan, come back quickly! Auntie will give you something delicious!"
Dog Egg's departure did not attract the slightest glance from Madam Fang.
She was strictly educating Fang Qiyuan, constantly telling him how important his status was.
They repeatedly belittled how lowly Gou Dan and his group of children were.
Fang Qiyuan's eyes gradually changed from fear to determination.
"Yuan'er, you must know that you will become the heir apparent in the future, and the friends you should associate with should be either rich or noble..."
"Mom! I understand. I won't play with those peasants anymore!"
Seeing that he truly knew his mistake, Madam Fang nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay! Go bask in the sun for a while, then go back to practice your calligraphy!"
After making arrangements for Fang Qiyuan, Madam Fang smiled and took Fang Ruzhu from the maid's arms.
"Is the medicine ready, Miss?"
"Madam, it's ready! Miss just finished drinking it when I returned!"
"knew!"
Looking at her poor little daughter, Madam Fang felt a pang of pain in her heart.
Sigh! If it weren't for the title of the eldest daughter of the Fang family, her Zhu'er wouldn't have been born prematurely!
But it was all worth it!
