Chapter 332 Chiu Chiu Admits Her Mistake
Yun Jinglan felt that Su Junyao was extremely immoral.
Su Junyao retorted defiantly, "The Queyu clan is getting too big for their britches. How can I, alone, persuade His Majesty to punish the Turks?"
When Emperor Jingming was young, he was caught up in the struggle among the princes and had no choice but to compete. He stood out among the princes, but now that he is older, he has become a moderate and conservative.
The border war is intense, but it hasn't reached the point of no return. If Emperor Jingming could downplay the situation and propose exchanging the Queyu clan for the withdrawal of the Turks, it wouldn't be a bad solution.
“The border is plagued by war every year. My elder brother’s family has not returned for seven or eight years. Jinglan, the Turks are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Only by defeating them and making them afraid to ever dare to commit crimes again can we restore peace to the people of the border.”
Everyone thought he was being extreme in this matter because of his beloved daughter. He used a scheme to amplify the situation, and Lu Wenzheng's cooperation in angering Emperor Jingming led to the order to attack the Turks.
Yun Jinglan frowned and pondered for a while before hesitatingly saying, "Isn't it a bit much for our little Qiuqiu to be burdened with such a big accusation?"
Su Junyao reassured her, "Our Qiujiu has a straight spine, she's not afraid."
"What about Lord Lu?" Yun Jinglan asked worriedly again.
Despite his current good relationship with his wife, Lu Wenzheng was once in love with Princess Fufeng when he was young. However, their love was short-lived, and Princess Fufeng married into the Turkic Khaganate before he could express his feelings. Not many years later, news of Princess Fufeng's death arrived.
Lu Wenzheng was depressed for quite a while, and her condition only improved after the old master of the Lu family forced her to marry Madam Lu.
Chiu Chiu, still angry about being framed, perked up her ears at this gossip. [Is this going to turn from an arranged marriage into a nightmare of chasing after her?]
[It's the version for middle-aged and elderly people!]
The couple exchanged a glance. Su Junyao understood, rubbed his knee, got up from the ground, and opened the door expressionlessly. His deathly gaze fell on the eavesdropping baby. "Chirp, you're almost two years old. You're not allowed to eavesdrop on your parents!"
When the three sons were this age, they had already been taken away by the nanny and moved out to live. Only Qiuqiu is this big and still disturbs the couple's bedroom conversations every day!
Do you know what a sense of boundaries is?
His response was that Qiuqiu, with her chubby little waist, slipped into the room from his side. As she struggled to climb onto the stool, Yun Jinglan stopped her with a gesture.
Chiu Chiu tilted her head in confusion: "Mother?"
Her adorable little face is indeed striking, and her big eyes blink at you with delight, but Yun Jinglan is now immune to it.
If you don't teach your child, he'll be out of control in the future.
“Running away from home and eavesdropping on your parents’ conversation are double offenses.” Yun Jinglan pointed to the corner of the wall. “You’ll be punished by standing in the corner.”
Chiu Chiu froze, her little mouth slightly open, her eyes wide open, looking completely out of sorts.
"Go quickly."
Chirp got anxious, "Old, account, account?"
Look how anxious the child is, she's even talking incoherently, but Chiu Chiu never expected her mother to bring up old grievances!
"Mother, Mother, chirp chirp, it's wrong!"
"Stand still, no discussion!"
Chirp looked aggrieved and refused to move. Su Junyao, a doting father, immediately felt sorry for her and tried to plead for her, "Madam, look..."
"Shut up!" Yun Jinglan's eyebrows shot up. "Kneel properly!"
Did they even let him get up? He still has time to plead for his daughter!
Su Junyao gave Qiuqiu a "good luck" look and then voluntarily went to the washboard.
Seeing that her father was punished without even struggling, Qiuqiu stopped struggling and quickly walked to the corner to stand still. Probably afraid that her mother would beat her, she even took an apple and put it on her head.
Before leaving, Yun Jinglan gave the father and daughter a warning look. She was going to the Lu residence to check if anything had gone wrong. She hoped that Madam Lu, who had just given birth, wouldn't be upset.
Seeing that his wife had walked away, Su Junyao immediately made two "sucking" sounds at Qiuqiu. Qiuqiu, holding the apple on her head, made two comical "spitting" sounds at her father, and the father and daughter began to tease each other.
"Chirp, no, puppy."
Su Junyao whispered to his daughter, "When your mother comes back later, you should comfort her. If you comfort her, we won't be punished."
Chiu Chiu wasn't stupid; she ignored him and said, "Stand in the corner... admit your mistake."
She's being a good girl today.
No matter how her father tried to tempt her, Qiuqiu ignored him. When Su Junyao was called out by Chen He and told her to go play by herself, she didn't listen and obediently stood there with her little apple on her head until night.
As night fell, a weary Yun Jinglan returned home only to be found by Dong Xiao, who said that Qiuqiu was crying in the house with a small apple on her head, refusing to go back to sleep no matter who tried to persuade her.
Yun Jinglan was surprised that Qiuqiu was so well-behaved today. Thinking that she must have been terrified after standing there all day, she immediately ran towards her own courtyard.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw that Qiuqiu's nose was red from crying and her eyes were so swollen that she looked like a bubble fish.
Yun Jinglan was heartbroken, but the little guy stubbornly held onto the apple and forced a sweet smile, "Mommy, the apple didn't fall."
Hearing this, Yun Jinglan felt even more upset. Her nose stung, and she went forward to hug Qiuqiu, throwing away the apple that had been bothering Qiuqiu all afternoon. "My child, you've been wronged. It's your fault for forgetting Qiuqiu. I won't do it again."
Chiu Chiu twisted her body. "Guo Guo, give it to Chiu Chiu."
How can we waste food!
The carefree Qiuqiu was truly heartbreaking. Yun Jinglan hugged Qiuqiu and kept kissing her, saying, "You are really my little darling!"
After a busy day, Su Junyao returned to his room and was told by Chunxiang that the Marquis would be sleeping in the study again tonight!
"Chirp? Why isn't she going back to sleep in my room? Let her out, and I'll go in!"
After a long day, who wouldn't want their sweet wife to comfort their wounded heart?
Chunxiang felt that the Marquis was being too unreasonable. What was wrong with Miss Qiuqiu sleeping with the Madam for one night after suffering such a great injustice today?
"The young lady cried for a moment, poor thing, how could the Marquis bear to wake her up again?"
Su Junyao frowned: "You've been crying all afternoon? What happened?"
Chunxiang recounted the events of the day with added embellishments, and Su Junyao sighed helplessly, "Fine, Your Highness will let her off this time. After all, she is my daughter!"
Yun Jinglan lay on her side on the bed with her back to the outside. She heard the footsteps gradually fading away, and she continued to gently pat Qiuqiu's back with her hands. A smile that she herself could hardly notice was on her lips.
She tapped her nose: "Your father loves you the most."
Therefore, Yun Jinglan never believed that the husband in Qiuqiu's heart would disregard the lives of her and her daughter. Fortunately, it was all a lie!
Chiu Chiu shuffled toward her mother like a little piglet. Yun Jinglan didn't move, quietly watching what she wanted to do.
She groped around with her eyes closed for a while, finally wrapping her arms around her mother's waist and burying herself in her embrace. She blinked twice, keeping her eyes closed the whole time, as if murmuring in her sleep, "Ugh, Mother..."
"Chirp, you're wrong."
"I won't dare to do it again."
Yun Jinglan's smile deepened, and without saying a word, she held Qiuqiu and fell asleep.
Children need to be taught and guided, but this won't be allowed in the future!
But tonight's dream wasn't pleasant; a dizzying force pulled her downwards, until she finally plunged into darkness...
Who is calling her mother?
Yes... chirp chirp...
It's her daughter!
