Chapter 3 My Dad Has a Mouth
Yun Jinglan was completely stunned by Qiuqiu's words and didn't even notice Su Junyao's unusual gaze.
It seems she needs to thoroughly reorganize her Jingxin Garden. If she finds out which vile woman dared to spout such nonsense in front of her daughter, she'll tear their mouths apart!
Look what this little baby has learned!
Chiu Chiu tried her best to twist her body to attract the attention of her silly father, who was completely captivated by his beautiful mother.
Su Junyao snapped out of his reverie and coughed lightly. After his body had been warmed by the charcoal fire in the room for a while, he sat down next to Yun Jinglan and looked down at the little guy.
Chiu Chiu was born beautiful and adorable. Su Junyao had already forgotten about why he could hear his daughter's thoughts. His mind was filled with the words, "This is my and Lanlan's good daughter."
Su Junyao has a bad habit: he tends to get grumpy when he's nervous.
He wanted to hug his beloved daughter, but didn't know where to start. He had hugged his eldest son a long time ago, but the baby was so soft and limp that he accidentally dislocated the arm of his son, who was only a few months old.
That time, he almost got beaten to death by his father.
Every time he got close to his wife and children, he would stare at him with wary eyes, as if he were a human trafficker rather than the father of his children.
Over time, he stopped liking to go near children.
He's already not a likable person, and if he hurts them, his wife will hate him to the core!
But things are different now, this is my sweet and soft baby daughter!
The more nervous he became, the sullen his face became.
In Yun Jinglan's eyes, it was clear that Su Junyao disliked his daughter in the slightest; otherwise, why would he look like he wanted to devour her?
Chiu Chiu grinned at Su Junyao's grumpy face. Her dad was so handsome!
She remembered that in the original book, her mother gave birth at an advanced age, and her father, fearing that something might happen to her, went to Jing'an Temple and kowtowed repeatedly to obtain amulets for her and her mother. The amulets were delivered when she was born, but her father fell off the mountain due to exhaustion.
Although there was no serious injury, he was unconscious for several days.
Her father, fearing that her mother would worry, kept the news a secret and missed her birth.
After getting out of bed, I went to the palace to ask for a rare warm jade to warm my mother's body.
In her past life, Chiu Chiu was an orphan fish without parents, and in this life, she is determined to protect her family.
[Daddy, did you hurt yourself when you fell while getting the amulet? Can you walk now?]
Yun Jinglan was about to send them away when she heard the sound and was startled. She subconsciously looked up at her husband.
Su Junyao was shocked. How did this little guy know that he had gone to get a protective talisman and then fallen down the mountain? Which foolish servant was gossiping like that? Where would he, as a strict father, put his authority after this?
He looked up in embarrassment and met his wife's watery eyes.
Yun Jinglan felt uneasy. Her husband was not by her side when she gave birth, and she harbored resentment. In addition, she had signs of postpartum hemorrhage, making the delivery dangerous.
The attending nanny brought a talisman, saying it was from a sacred mountain and could protect the mother and daughter. Miraculously, after Qiuyue accepted it, she suddenly had all her strength and safely gave birth to the child, saving both mother and daughter's lives.
She always thought it was a gift from her mother's family, never imagining that it was something her husband had begged for.
"Did you obtain the amulet through begging?"
Yun Jinglan was trembling all over, which startled Su Junyao.
[Dad, say something! If you have a mouth, speak up!]
If you love her, say it out loud!
Su Junyao glanced at his daughter with a mournful look. How could this little girl know everything?
But this time he really did grow a beak.
He awkwardly touched his nose: "Lord Lu said that the amulets at Jing'an Temple protect mothers and children. I heard that husbands of pregnant women would go and ask for one, so I went to join in the fun."
He frantically tried to cover it up: "No, I didn't ask for it on purpose!"
Chiu Chiu: [Liar! Daddy's knees were all worn out from kneeling, so he fell down the stone steps and hit the back of his head on the way down the mountain.]
[Mom, Dad's lying! He has a big bump on the back of his head!]
Su Junyao's past has been exposed by his daughter.
Luckily, his wife didn't know about this stupid thing. Heh heh, his wife doesn't like this kind of stupidity!
Whether it's a lie or not, Yun Jinglan will know soon enough.
She beckoned to Su Junyao and patted the empty seat next to her: "Come here."
Hearing his wife soften her voice, Su Junyao's eyes lit up. Could it be that, as his daughter said, if you love her, you should say it?
Was she touched?
Su Junyao awkwardly moved over and sat there stiffly, his back ramrod straight. This angle was perfect; his wife would definitely be able to see his sharply defined jawline and his deliberately practiced upright posture.
Yun Jinglan glanced at him; it seemed true that he had hit his head. His head was completely askew.
Are you out of your mind?
Jinze is still young and needs his father to protect him in the court. He absolutely cannot afford to have anything happen to him now!
Yun Jinglan's soft, delicate hand touched Su Junyao's leg.
Su Junyao blushed. His wife was still in her postpartum period; this wasn't appropriate. Besides, he wasn't used to being affectionate in front of his daughter. Perhaps…
Awooooo!
Su Junyao's face turned green, but he held it in.
This time he really didn't dare to move!
Why is the lady picking at the wound on his leg? It hurts so much!
He must make amends for his lapse in composure today.
My father-in-law said that my wife likes real men who are tough and upright, and that a real man can bleed and sweat but not shed tears!
Yun Jinglan was puzzled. Why was there no response? Could it be that her daughter was talking nonsense?
Thinking this, she put a little more effort into her hands.
Su Junyao: I'll endure it!
Yun Jinglan withdrew her hand in disappointment. That talisman was probably something he had casually obtained.
But if the amulet was obtained for a pregnant woman, could it be that that vile woman Zheng is pregnant?
Su Junyao barely escaped a disaster, but when he looked up, he saw that his wife had reverted to her previous cold and aloof demeanor.
He knew this was the time when his wife was getting tired of him, and it was time for him to leave.
He had only spent a short while with the lady and didn't want to leave! However, he had just punished the lady's personal maid, so he decided not to upset her now.
Just as he was about to pretend he didn't care and leave nonchalantly, Qiuqiu suddenly burst into tears.
The baby's crying threw the couple into a flurry of activity.
[Waaaaah, Mom, please hug Dad!]
[He looks like he's about to break down! He spent half a month begging his colleagues to find out where to find a protective talisman for you! Did you even consider how your colleagues felt?!]
Yun Jinglan hurriedly picked up her daughter, coaxing the little darling while stealing strange glances at her husband.
Would he confront his colleague over a talisman?
That can't be!
In fact, Yun Jinglan herself did not know what she was expecting. She still asked as her daughter wished: "I heard that Lord Lu's wife had a difficult pregnancy a few years ago. In order to ensure the safety of the child, he specially took leave to go to the deep mountains to ask for a protective amulet."
"I noticed that the amulet the young master sent looks very similar to the one Madam Lu had. Could it be that my husband specially went to ask for this as well?"
Su Junyao stared intently at Qiuqiu, who was winking at him, and wholeheartedly agreed with his daughter's words.
Yes, why doesn't Madam hug him?
Hearing Yun Jinglan's question again, he subconsciously answered, "Of course. I blocked Lu Wenzheng for half a month before he told me which mountain valley Jing'an Temple was in. That place is remote, so it took a long time."
Lu Wenzheng said he would sincerely kowtow three times and kowtow nine times to go up the mountain to ask for a protective amulet. He didn't make it clear that he only needed to kowtow on the steps leading to the main hall. He kowtowed all the way up the mountain from the foot of the mountain, and his disheveled appearance almost scared the monks of the temple to death.
He covered the bruises on his head with face powder.
In my haste to go down the mountain, something went wrong at home, and I accidentally stepped into a hole and tumbled down.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have missed the birth of his little chick.
Su Junyao felt a pang of guilt and carefully touched the chubby little face with his hand, but he was afraid of hurting the child, so he quickly withdrew his hand without using any force.
He sat stiffly to the side, staring intently at Qiuqiu. He then glanced at Yun Jinglan quickly, as if he were a thief, and said, "It is my fault as a father. Madam, rest assured, I will definitely stay by your side from now on."
When the nanny reported that the lady had almost lost her life, he was so frightened that he rolled off the bed and kowtowed repeatedly.
Yun Jinglan smiled bitterly. She had just decided to guard her heart and stop having any distracting thoughts, but then she was told that Su Junyao still had some feelings for her.
Could it really be a cruel twist of fate?
She smacked her lips twice, struggling against sleepiness, and glanced at this and that with her big eyes.
【Huh, why isn't anyone saying anything?】
[Hehe, if none of you are saying anything, then I won't say anything either!]
[But hey, my dad actually grew a mouth! That's progress, extra chicken leg!]
