Chapter 40: Koi's Turnaround
I hate Uncle Three!
[From now on, Uncle Three will no longer be Chiu Chiu's favorite person!]
Whose love do you think you lost? The love of a lucky koi fish!
What's missed is missed. Our story ends here. Oh, my dear, I've given my heart to the wrong person!
Yun Jinglan poked Qiuqiu, who was lying on her back as if she had lost her soul and turned into a dried fish, and turned to ask Dong Xiao, who was secretly amused, "What's going on? What did Third Master do to Qiuqiu?"
Dong Xiao had already been warned by Su Junyao not to reveal that the medicine for the Third Master was poisoned today. Hearing Yun Jinglan ask this question, she had no choice but to omit this part and tell Yun Jinglan about the Third Master and Third Madam's suspicion that the young lady had soiled her pants.
“Our young lady is very concerned about her image. It’s all Third Master’s fault for keeping saying that our young lady had soiled her pants.” Dong Xiao said indignantly, completely unaware of the pitiful little expression on Qiu Qiu’s face when she heard the words “soiled her pants.”
Chiu Chiu: Can't we just not talk about this?
I can't stand hearing the phrase "pulling up my pants pocket" anymore!
These adults are unaware of the seriousness of the situation. This isn't a lack of trust in her; she's facing a crisis of trust with both herself and these adults who love to tease children!
Yun Jinglan knew that Qiuqiu was a clean baby who was careful not to get milk on her face when drinking milk, so how could she have gotten herself smelly? But she also knew her brother-in-law fairly well, so she naturally wouldn't tease Qiuqiu about such a thing for no reason.
So there must be some reason behind it.
It's likely that the three brothers had something to say in private, and that's why Qiuqiu, that little gossip, didn't want to leave and came up with this dirty trick.
The most urgent thing now is to appease this little darling.
I don't know where a three-month-old baby gets such a big temper.
"Mother knows our Qiuqiu is the cleanest child, so how could he have soiled his pants! It must be your third uncle talking nonsense. I'll tell your third aunt not to let him in the house and to make him sleep in the study!"
The chirping, which was exerting force with all four limbs, suddenly stopped, like a little turtle lying on its back.
Children also have their own problems. Her problem is, shouldn't her parents sleep together?
She was no longer an ordinary child. She knew that her father was not favored by her mother and therefore only deserved to sleep in the study, but her father also had several older brothers.
But if Uncle San doesn't have a wife, he'll be all alone.
Tsk tsk tsk, how pathetic!
So Chiu Chiu immediately forgave her third uncle.
[Alright, I'm magnanimous, I'll forgive Uncle for now. It's so pitiful not being able to sleep with my wife.]
My dad is so pitiful. His wife won't sleep with him. He's like a poor dog on the street that anyone could kick.
Yun Jinglan: “…”
What misunderstanding could make Qiuqiu feel sorry for a nobleman's son?
If he is pitiful, then no one in the world is not pitiful.
Yun Jinglan tapped her little nose: "Your father and your third uncle are not the same."
Liu Yueyao is stubborn but soft-hearted. She seems indifferent but actually cares the most about her third son and can't bear to see him sleeping alone in the study.
"Your father is the heir of a marquis's mansion. In the future, the entire marquis's mansion will belong to him. He can sleep wherever he wants!"
Can I sleep in Mom's room?
Dad sleeps on the outside, Mom sleeps on the inside, and Chiu Chiu sleeps in the middle. If her two older brothers like, they can sleep under the bed.
The whole family should be together!
Yun Jinglan was surprised that she had even made arrangements for her two older brothers, and found it somewhat amusing.
Does this little brat really not know his sleeping position at night?
The bed is too small for her to sleep on by herself; she could practice a whole set of boxing techniques in one go. If Su Junyao were to join her, she'd rather sleep on the floor.
I can't sleep, I really can't sleep!
Su Junyao was deeply moved when he heard Qiuqiu's "reasonable" arrangement at the door.
There's nothing better than a chick in the world; having a chick's dad is like having a treasure.
Daughter, your father has not spoiled you for nothing!
The first step to getting closer to his wife—through his daughter!
Su Junyao strode into the room and went straight to the bedside to pick up Qiuqiu: "You are really Daddy's sweet little cotton-padded jacket!"
Chiu Chiu was so proud and stubborn. She pressed her little hand against her father's face, full of resistance: "No, Daddy! Daddy hates it when I pull my pants in my pocket!"
Her father didn't speak up for her just now, and she's holding a grudge.
Su Junyao placed Qiuqiu on the bed at her request, looking indifferent: "Since Qiuqiu doesn't like Daddy, then let's just forget about the New Year's gift I prepared for you."
Chirp's eyes lit up, and her little hands flashed out a flowery pattern: "I love Daddy! I like Daddy! Please put the gift in Chirp's hands!"
Su Junyao patted Qiuqiu's chubby little hand, "Daddy's gift is too precious for Qiuqiu's little hands to hold."
[Put it in Chuchu's pocket.]
Chiu Chiu had her own key to the storeroom. She had been holding it in her hand for a few days, but one night she lost it while sleeping and got up and howled for half the night.
The next day, Dongxiao sewed her a floral cloth bag that she could wear across her body. Sometimes, if she had something that interested her, Yun Jinglan would put it in the bag and let her treasure it for a while.
Now, Chiu Chiu treats this bag as her treasure chest!
Su Junyao: "This gift isn't a physical item, so it won't fit in Qiuqiu's pocket."
The little fish was furious. Her father was just lying to a child!
With a wiggle of its bottom, Chiu Chiu rolled over like a koi fish onto the inside of the bed.
Your precious daughter is now refusing to communicate with you!
Su Junyao stared blankly at Qiuqiu: "You can roll over now?!"
Chirp blew a bubble and rolled her eyes at her overreacting, silly dad.
Even if I lack knowledge, I still know how to hold my head high!
Chiu Chiu stretched her neck and raised her noble head, making sure everyone present could see her graceful figure.
Although this chubby baby doesn't make it clear where the waist or buttocks are, it lives up to her words: at least it's plump and juicy!
Yun Jinglan also curiously came over. Her previous sons had all rolled over, crawled, and sat up early, but none of them were as quick as Qiuqiu.
Each one took several attempts, just like trying to make a plain white glutinous rice ball, before I finally succeeded.
Even Yun Jinglan wanted to applaud Qiuqiu's agile skills.
"Chirp chirp, you're so great!"
Upon receiving the praise, Chiu Chiu immediately forgot that she was still angry about asking for a gift, and started showing off her newfound skills to her parents.
After three rounds of back and forth, Chiu Chiu finally decided to lie down and become a couch potato.
The fish can't be flipped anymore.
He stuck out his little tongue, closed his eyes, and started playing dead.
Yun Jinglan and Su Junyao were both amused and exasperated, wondering who this tendency to act spoiled at the slightest disagreement came from.
“Our Yun family is full of loyal and courageous people, and they are the most unyielding. This temperament is not like that of the Yun family.”
Su Junyao readily agreed: "Follow me, follow me, follow me completely!"
The child is his, so what's wrong with him having a few minor flaws? Are you suggesting it's the wife's fault?
This won’t work!
Yun Jinglan laughed and scolded, "Silly girl!"
Chiu Chiu cautiously opened one eye, looking a little furtive, quickly glanced at her father, and then closed it again.
My dad looks so stupid, Chiu Chiu doesn't want to be like him!
Su Junyao was displeased. Who else could his daughter be like if she didn't resemble him? Just as he was about to pick up Qiuqiu and reason with her, Chen He's spoilsport voice came from outside the door.
"Your Highness, someone from the palace has arrived."
Chen He paused, as if he himself was also puzzled.
"Eunuch Liu said His Majesty wants to see... to see our Miss Qiuqiu!"
