Chapter 237 Exposure
"Big brother, big brother—"
A girl in a green dress ran down the street, her clear shouts immediately attracting the attention of people on both sides.
"Hey buddy, who's that?"
Inside the teahouse, a burly, blond man sitting facing the street stared wide-eyed, asking the waiter pouring tea in a gruff voice.
Who would casually ask a young lady's identity? The waiter was reluctant to answer. But upon seeing the man's fierce face, he trembled and blurted out, "That...that's Yang Chan, the third young lady of the Yang family."
After saying that, he hurriedly grabbed the teapot and ran away.
The man with pointed ears next to him rolled his eyes and quickly flattered, "Brother Tiger, this little girl is not bad. Haven't you always wanted to find yourself a wife?"
The man called "Tiger" was delighted, but he still suppressed his excitement and said, "It's just a little small."
“Little one is good,” the pointed-eared man quickly persuaded, “It’s easier for you to raise her, Tiger, you can raise her however you want.”
"That makes sense."
Tiger nodded, put down his teacup, climbed over the railing, and chased after them.
The woman sitting on the other side, who hadn't said a word, leaned over unhappily: "Why do you always give him bad advice!"
"Tsk," the man gave her a reproachful look. "Fox girl, now that you have your true love, he won't have any designs on you."
Upon hearing this, Fox Sister was both happy and worried. Leaning on the man's shoulder, she hesitated and said, "Fifth Brother, can we not do this again?"
"No, listen to me!"
"Why?"
Fifth Brother shook his head and said, "I'm a man!"
On the other side, Yang Chan hurriedly ran towards where Yang Jiao had set up his stall, and happened to run into Yang Jiao and Yang Jian who were walking back on the way.
"Big brother, second brother."
"Third sister, what's wrong?"
Yang Jiao supported Yang Chan, who was panting heavily, and asked worriedly. Yang Jian, who was standing next to her, also frowned and asked, "Did someone bully you? What's wrong with you, Yang Laosan? You only know how to bully me. Can't you beat others? Tell me who it is, and I'll beat him to a pulp!"
Yang Chan finally caught her breath, glared at Yang Jian upon hearing this, and ignored him. Instead, she grabbed Yang Jiao's sleeve and said, "Brother, you should go back and check on Father and Mother. They are both feeling unwell."
"What?"
Yang Jian exclaimed in surprise, and Yang Jiao also frowned: "Let's go back."
The three siblings hurried home.
Tiger, along with Fifth Brother and Fox Sister, quietly followed the three of them all the way to the Yang residence. They watched the three of them go inside and then stopped behind the bushes without moving.
Fifth Brother asked curiously, "What's wrong, Tiger?"
"Didn't you see the ethereal aura surrounding this mansion?"
Seeing Tiger's solemn face, Fifth Brother glanced at the Yang residence. Aside from being bigger, newer, and better equipped... damn it, he was even envious...
Shaking his head to bring himself back to reality, Fifth Brother answered in a pretentious manner, "Ah, yes, there is."
The fox spirit behind him looked at him with a surprised expression. Where was it?
"What else did you see?"
"And I also saw..." Fifth Brother was about to answer when he suddenly realized it wasn't Fox Sister's figure, and he turned around sharply, "Who?"
Tiger was startled by his sudden outburst, and he also got up and turned around, but there was no one there.
"What's the panic!"
Tiger couldn't help but scold Fifth Brother, who nodded meekly, "I must have misheard, I must have misheard."
The fox-girl said with heartache, "But I heard it too..."
"Hey, you stinky tiger and two stinky foxes, why don't you lower your heads a bit?"
The three of them subconsciously looked down and saw two small beasts, each about the size of a palm, standing on the ground.
Before Fifth Brother and Fox Sister could react, Tiger Brother, having only caught a glimpse of one of the small white beasts, knelt down with a thud: "This humble servant did not know this was the Ancestor's territory. This humble servant knows his mistake."
Seeing his two clueless subordinates, Tiger glared angrily and pulled the two oblivious men to kneel down with him.
Xiao Wu bristled: "Don't get involved! Who's your ancestor?!"
"Yes, yes, it was my fault."
Tiger admitted his mistake faster than anyone else, leaving Fifth Brother and Fox Sister dumbfounded.
Xiao Liu chuckled and said, "You deal with your juniors, I'm leaving!" With that, he slowly walked towards the Yang residence.
"I already said no!"
Xiao Wu got angry and glared at the three of them. His tiny body instantly exuded a huge intimidating aura, causing the three of them to kneel on the ground, trembling from the bottom of their hearts, unable to move at all.
It wasn't until they faced the threat of death that Fifth Brother and Fox Sister realized why Tiger Brother was so afraid.
"Remember this, everyone in the Yang family is under my protection. Don't even think about messing with them!"
"Yes..." Tiger replied with difficulty, his face pale, "I... understand..."
After Xiao Wu snorted coldly and strolled away, his figure disappearing from their sight, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, unable to control themselves from revealing parts of their true forms. But they didn't care about restoring them and couldn't wait to escape.
...
"Reporting to the Jade Emperor, the Eldest Princess has married a mortal named Yang Tianyou."
"Immediately dispatch the Great Golden Crow, leading 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, to descend to the mortal realm and capture Yao Ji! Execute Yang Tianyou, Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, and Yang Chan on the spot and cast them into the Land of Eternal Calamity!"
...
"Father, Mother!"
Hearing the children's shouts, Yang Tianyou and Yao Ji came out of the house.
"Jiao'er, why are you back?"
"Father, Mother, are you feeling unwell?"
Yang Jiao went up to take their pulses, but before they could refuse, Yang Jian stopped them with his words: "Father, Mother, don't keep it from us anymore, Third Sister has already told us."
Yang Tianyou and Yao Ji exchanged a glance, feeling the warmth in their hearts from the three children's concern, and ultimately did not refuse.
Yang Jiao first took Yao Ji's pulse, then took Yang Tianyou's pulse. Yang Jian and Yang Chan held their breath and waited anxiously on the side.
Seeing Yang Jiao withdraw his hand, Yang Jian eagerly asked, "How was it, brother?"
Yang Jiao's expression was complicated for a moment. He glanced at Yao Ji, then shook his head at the two of them: "It's nothing, I'm just tired."
Yang Jian and Yang Chan breathed a sigh of relief, but Yao Ji clearly understood Yang Jiao's expression. In that instant, she truly realized that Yang Jiao had grown up.
Come to think of it, she had always known that Jiao'er's medical skills were self-taught. But to what extent she had learned them, she didn't seem to be quite clear...
Yao Ji's thoughts reached Yang Tianyou's mind, and he shook his head helplessly. Jiao'er was too accomplished, so accomplished that he could no longer reach her potential.
But now was not the time to think about that. Yang Tianyou and Yao Ji looked at each other, made up their minds, and were about to tell the three children the truth when a woman in purple suddenly barged in.
"aunt!"
"Qi'er!"
Yao Ji was pleasantly surprised but also a little panicked. "Let's go inside and talk."
Xiao Qi's gaze swept over Yang Tianyou and his three sons, and with a complicated expression, she followed Yao Ji inside.
"We also have such a beautiful older cousin?"
Yang Jian, out of curiosity, peered into the room.
"You're shameless!" Yang Chan looked at him with annoyance.
Yang Jian retorted, "Can't I even be curious? Aren't you curious too?"
The two started arguing again. Yang Tianyou, who was standing to the side, looked rather grave and had a bad feeling. He instructed the three of them, "Jiao'er, Erlang, Sanniang, go back and pack your things. We're leaving."
"leave?"
Yang Jian was somewhat confused, while Yang Chan seemed a little uneasy: "Father, has something happened to our family?"
Yang Tianyou remained silent, while Yang Jiao reassured the two of them, "Everything will be alright, listen to me, go pack your things."
Yang Jiao, being the elder brother, was indeed more authoritative. Although the two had their doubts, they obediently nodded and went back to pack their things.
Yang Jiao then instructed the servants in the mansion: "Go to the accounting office to settle the accounts, and hurry up and leave."
Watching his eldest son's back as he efficiently handled the affairs of the household, Yang Tianyou felt a mix of emotions. "Jiao'er, how much do you know?"
Yang Jiao walked back and smiled gently: "My son only knows that as long as our family is together, we can go anywhere."
At this moment, Yao Ji came out with Xiao Qi. After watching her leave, she walked to Yang Tianyou and Yang Jiao's side, her smile warm and firm: "Jiao'er is right. As long as our family is together, that's enough."
