Lu Siyong immediately retorted: "You are a sycophant. You only know how to please your mother."

"Huh, everyone likes me more anyway. Only mother loves you."

How could he tolerate his sister's provocation? So no matter how his cousin tried to persuade him, Lu Sitao jumped off the rockery and rushed towards his sister, and fought with Lu Siyong, who was born only a few minutes earlier and became his sister.

When Lu Yun came back that night, he saw two injured children. The younger brother pursed his lips stubbornly, and the older sister's eyes were red and misty with tears. Lu Siyong said delicately, "Father, it was my younger brother who started it first..."

Lu Sitao: "You scolded me first! Father..."

Lu Yun: "Lu Sitao, why do you bully your sister like this? Copy our family rules ten times!"

Miss Lu Siyong cried in her father's arms, secretly looking at her brother through the gaps between her fingers covering her eyes, and showing a smug smile. Lu Sitao was confused: "Do we have any family rules?"

Lu Yun raised his eyebrows: "I will write it later and it will be there."

Lu Sitao: "..."

My father is so biased that it’s unbearable to watch!

When Lu Sitao turned around and was about to leave in anger, he heard a cough. He tilted his head and looked up, and saw his slender mother standing under the lantern outside the study. His mother pursed her lips and laughed, and she didn't know how long she had been listening. When Lu Yun said that he wanted his son to copy the family rules, Miss Luo coughed to signal him.

Lu Yun looked over.

Luo Lingyu smiled and said, "Who said we should treat everyone equally?"

Lu Yun: “…”

He sighed slightly, reflecting on his own failure to control himself. He sighed to his daughter who was secretly crying in his arms, "Then Siyong should accompany her brother to copy the family rules. How can you hit your brother?"

Lu Yun then explained to his brother why he was punished: "My dear, you are very strong. You can't hit me even if you are angry, okay?"

Lu Sitao lowered his head in shame: "I know."

The father actually let both of them be punished together, and the matter ended successfully. Lu Siyong: "...Ah?!"

She opened her mouth in disbelief, while her younger brother Lu Sitao beside her smiled with satisfaction.

…

When it comes to studying, the siblings quarrel fiercely. Because sister Lu Siyong was shocked to find that her brother could remember everything he read. Lu Sitao didn't study harder than her, but he always did better than her in his homework. Her father loved her so much that he couldn't find any fault with her brother. Every time her brother looked at her provocatively with a face similar to hers, Lu Siyong couldn't help getting angry.

So they fought and quarreled again.

The siblings always quarreled with each other. In the "Qingyuan", Lu Yun favored Lu Siyong, while Luo Lingyu favored Lu Sitao. After the couples neutralized the differences, the siblings were basically balanced. However, once they left the "Qingyuan", Lu Siyong was surrounded by the Lu family, and Lu Sitao was ignored.

Lu Sitao despised the crowd of people who were not in harmony, and he didn't like to talk much with the elders who doted on his sister. The young man never showed up in front of others, enjoying himself, and both sides were satisfied.

Lu Sitao has always been ignored. He can tolerate it at other times, but he is most unhappy when it comes to his birthday every year. He and his sister have the same birthday, but his sister receives several times more gifts than him. That day is the most glorious day of the year for his sister, but it is the day that Lu Sitao hates the most. But he pretends to be arrogant and refuses to say that he hates this day. Lu Siyong has a deep empathy with him and fully understands what his brother thinks. She naturally likes to see him laugh.

It was Lu Yun who stopped the Lu family from having this crazy custom of holding a big birthday party for the children. The Lu family said it was celebrating the twins' birthdays, but in reality they only cared about Lu Siyong. Lu Yun stopped the big party on the grounds that the children could not suppress the birthday celebration.

Lu Saburo tried his best to narrow the gap between his two children, but even so, although he did not hold large banquets, he always held small banquets.

Another birthday, Lu Siyong and Lu Sitao both turned six. When Lu Siyong woke up in the morning, she began to look forward to the gifts from her elders. When she was getting her hair done by her maid, she saw her brother walking by the window. The young lady smiled and laughed at him through the window: "Sitao, are you going to hide out for another day? You are so pitiful."

Lu Sitao suppressed his anger.

He tilted his head and saw the young lady's cute and delicate face, her eyes blinking and teasing him. He felt that he had grown up and didn't want to quarrel with his sister like a child. The young man turned his head away disdainfully: "Wag your tail and beg for gifts from others, you are not a real man!"

Lu Siyong smiled and said, "I am not a real man, I am a little woman. You are not a real man either, you are a hypocrite."

Lu Sitao: “…You!”

His face turned red with anger at his sister, but he saw his sister climbing the window, waving at him mysteriously, and said sweetly: "Aren't you just jealous of me, jealous that I am so popular with adults? If you imitate the barking of a dog, I will give you some advice."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Sitao shouted: "Woof woof woof!"

Lu Siyong: “…”

She was stunned, staring at her brother's little face with wide eyes for a long time, and said with emotion: "Si Tao, you are so shameless!"

Lu Sitao didn't take it seriously and only doubted her motives: "Do you really have a solution?"

Lu Siyong said mischievously: "Guess."

…

Lu Yun was away from home during the day because he was working. Luo Lingyu, who was always romantic, went to the palace to chat with the Empress. Lu Yun worked with Emperor Liu Chu for a day, while Luo Lingyu and Empress Zhou Yangling spent a day preparing nectar. The couple met in the palace at night and realized the coincidence. The Emperor and Empress invited them to have dinner in the palace. During the meal, Luo Lingyu mentioned that today was the birthday of her two little babies, and Empress Zhou Yangling became interested.

Zhou Yangling said softly, "I have been recuperating for several years and have not left the palace for a long time. Your Majesty, why don't we go to the Lu family tonight to see how old the two children have grown?"

The Empress had fallen ill due to a difficult birth, and it took several years of recuperation for her health to improve. The Emperor was terrified by the delicate beauty, so he always agreed to whatever the Empress suggested.

The four of them went to Lu's house. The emperor and his wife also brought gifts to give to Lu Yun's children. The atmosphere was very good. Luo Lingyu took Zhou Yangling's arm and even began to introduce the vegetation of "Qingyuan" in recent years with great interest. However, as soon as they stepped into the gate of "Qingyuan", two children jumped out from the darkness and shouted crisply:
