Chapter 200: Find me the thickest broom!
Xiao Yulan ate while listening to Jin Congcong's howling that sounded like an accompaniment.
"Ah! Stinky old man! Tell me, was Ruo'er and I the wrong child? I'm actually the son of the Duke of Zhenguo, right? Ruo'er's parents treat me much better than you do. They give me all the delicious food and drinks. Ruo'er's mother even makes clothes and shoes for me!"
Jin Wuyou slapped him with a broom: "Didn't your mother make clothes for you? The material you wore when you were a child was as good as that of the nobles in the palace, but what about you? In one hour! You wore it out and it turned into rags in one hour. None of the dozens of clothes your mother made for you were spared!"
"Your mother can't make new clothes for you faster than you can wear them. How can you expect her to make clothes for you? Do you want her to tire herself to death?"
"And your shoes? They were all sewn by your mother, stitch by stitch. I don't even have any! You! You lose one every day, and every time you go out and come back from the wild, you only have one shoe left on your feet. And I'm still making clothes and shoes for you. What the hell!"
Jin Congcong was very aggrieved: "The material of that dress is too flimsy. It broke when I climbed a tree in the back mountain. And as for those shoes, it's really not my fault. It's Ruo'er who always digs holes for hunting in the back mountain. I fall into them every time. I'm lucky to have one shoe left..."
Bu Ruo rolled her eyes and said, "You can't blame me for this. So many of our disciples went to the back mountain and didn't fall, so why did you fall? That's because you didn't learn the skills that Master taught you, and you're still saying it out of kindness."
"Later, I was afraid you'd fall, so I put up a sign next to you saying there was a trap. But you fell anyway. Who can you blame?"
Jin Congcong covered his head with his hands in grievance: "I thought the trap must be at least some distance away from the sign, but I didn't expect it to be right under it."
"And next time... the trap wasn't under the sign, but in front. I suspect you're deliberately targeting me so my parents can beat me to death, and then you can watch the fun."
Bu Ruo smiled as she picked up some food for Xiao Yulan: "Can you blame me? The first time you fell, I thought the sign was too close to the trap, so I moved it a little further away. But you fell again, so I moved it back..."
Everyone: ...
Jin Congcong gritted his teeth and said, "There was that time when we went to the back mountain to play. We agreed that I would go to the tree to pick bird eggs and you would wait for me downstairs. But in the blink of an eye, you disappeared and I couldn't get down. It was dark and no one came to look for me. In the end, I fell down by myself."
"On the way back, I grabbed a stick to give myself courage and accidentally poked a hornet's nest. I came back like a pig's head, and instead of feeling sorry for me, you stood in a row and laughed at me. Is this something a parent and a master would do?"
Bu Ruo still remembered this incident. At that time, she was only three years old and was kidnapped by Jin Congcong to play. She happened to hear the passing senior brothers say that the eldest brother had returned and brought many good things. She was in a hurry to go back to find the eldest brother and forgot about Jin Congcong...
However, she knew that her master and mistress had sent people to protect Jin Congcong and herself, but they would not take action unless there was life-threatening danger. The purpose was to train someone, but in the end... they didn't train anyone.
Doctor Du laughed heartily when he heard this. "You may not know this, but this kid has always loved saving money. That time, after being stung by a wasp, his eyes were so swollen he couldn't open them. He came to my room crying in the middle of the night, holding a small purse in his hand."
"He said he felt like he was about to die, so he gave me the few copper coins he had stolen from his father's private money and asked me to dig a big hole and bury him in it. I think he was only a little over five years old at the time. It really made me laugh to death."
Jin Congcong cried out, "I remember now! If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten. There were 26 copper coins in my purse, all stolen from my father. Later, I didn't die, and you didn't set a trap for me, and you didn't return the copper coins to me!"
"Wuwu...Give it back to me, for I'm so pitiful!"
Doctor Du was almost amused by his shameless behavior: "You want me to return your copper coins? Fine! I'll return you twenty-six copper coins. No, no, no, I'll give you thirty. You have to return all the money you took from me. That's for my retirement!"
Seeing Jin Congcong's evasive look, Doctor Du gritted his teeth and said, "Jin Wuyou! Do you still have that broom? Give me one too! He took away all the money I saved for my retirement. It hurts my heart every time I think about it..."
"If it weren't for my medical skills and the ability to support myself, and Ruo'er... Quick! Find me the thickest broom!"
Luo Ran looked at the bustling hall and laughed uncontrollably: "Don't be so formal, Your Majesty. They have always been like this. You'll just have to get used to it. This mountain hasn't been this lively for a long time."
"Oh, by the way, I've heard about the situation in the court. Now that Ruo'er is pregnant, if things don't work out, let her stay in the mountains to take care of the baby. I can take care of her after I give birth. After all, I raised her as my daughter since she was a child. Her parents are not in Kyoto now, and I'm really worried."
Bu Ruo looked at Luo Ran's worried eyes and said comfortingly, "Master's wife, don't worry. The prince has arranged everything and everything is under control. I will be fine. Ruo'er promises you that if anything happens, I will come back to Master's wife as soon as possible. Is that okay?"
As soon as Bu Ruo finished speaking, she saw Cen Nan walking in quickly with an extremely serious look on his face.
"Your Majesty..."
Seeing Xiao Yulan wanted to leave, Bu Ruo suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart: "Cen Nan, let's talk right here."
Xiao Yulan had no choice but to nod: "Go ahead, instead of letting the princess guess, it's better to tell her directly."
"Princess, Prince, the Bu family army led by General Bu was attacked tonight. Although their lives are not in danger for the time being, they are surrounded. The enemy seems to be planning a fire attack."
"The leader seems to be...Princess Beining."
Xiao Yulan narrowed his eyes and tried to comfort Bu Ruo, who had stood up in shock. "Don't worry. The Bu family army has come to Kyoto in small groups this time, but even so, they won't be too far away. Moreover, I have assigned the Armored Guards to the Bu family army to protect the general's wife and your two brothers. They are all masters who can fight ten enemies at once. They will be fine."
"You eat first, I'll go take a look now, okay?"
Bu Ruo shook her head: "No, I want to go too, Princess Beining, that's the Third Prince. If he dares to touch anyone from my Bu family, it seems like the Emperor is going to lose another son."
The baby in Bu Ruo's belly is already three months old and is protected by golden light, so there will be no major problems unless it is seriously injured.
On the way there, Bu Ruo thought of ten thousand ways to kill the Third Prince and that damn princess, but when they arrived at the place, the Third Prince and Princess Beining were being forced to kneel at the door of the tent.
