I was exhausted from all the running around these days, and I quickly fell asleep and slept very soundly. When I woke up the next day, it was noticeably late; the sun was almost high in the sky.
Fortunately, everyone got up relatively late.
Looking at my dad's sleepy face, I knew that what he said yesterday was not to be taken seriously. After working hard for more than two months, his body was obviously not able to take it.
I'm afraid I'll need to rest for a while before I can get back.
It was Qingling who was underestimated. Everyone thought that children are weak and that long journeys would be exhausting, but he was lively and energetic after only one night's rest, clamoring to be taken out to play.
Early in the morning, Luo Qingyun went to some brothel again. Isn't she afraid they won't be open for business? She's such a diligent person.
It's unclear what Princess Anguo found so appealing about this troublemaker; aside from his sweet talk and handsome face, there's nothing else about him worth looking at.
It's a pity that the most beautiful woman in Anguo fell for such a dissolute young man who now lies buried in the brothels.
After breakfast, Dad went back to sleep. I felt extremely tired these past few days and wanted to lie down for a while, but Xiao Qingling insisted on dragging me out to play.
I couldn't resist him, and he dragged me out the door. I figured I'd just treat it like walking the dog, and it wouldn't hurt to take it for a few laps. I could go back to sleep later.
It was Qingling's first time in Kyoto, and she seemed a little excited, finding everything fascinating.
She looked at this for a while, then touched that, as happy as a little colorful bird.
I laughed at him, saying he's twelve or thirteen years old, but he still acts like a five or six-year-old kid, finding everything new and interesting.
He glanced at the above with disdain:
"Big sister never remembers Ling'er's birthday. Ling'er is already fourteen years old this year, a grown-up who should be respected by all."
"Then why haven't you grown at all? You look like you're only eight or nine years old. It seems that your father and stepmother have been mistreating you a lot while I was away. Look at Luo Qingyun, she's grown more and more beautiful and taller, and she eats, wears, and uses the best things. The difference between people is really too great."
Seeing the little guy's resentful look, I couldn't help but pour cold water on him, and before leaving, I didn't forget to add some hatred to Luo Qingyun's reputation.
"No, that's not true. I'm the most pampered person in the family. My second brother only got those things because I didn't want them. My mother said that I'm small now because I'm too cute, so I have to keep a low profile. When I get older, I'll definitely be taller than all of you."
Sure enough, as soon as I finished speaking, he couldn't wait to refute me. But what does being cute and having to be low-key have to do with not growing up? It's hilarious.
These two are quite a pair; one dares to believe, and the other dares to speak. It's been many years since I've seen them, and this stepmother's methods of raising children are truly bizarre. I must give her a proper greeting when I get back.
I was laughing so hard I was shaking, but I didn't notice that a group of people had gathered around me. It was Xiao Qingling's sweet and crisp voice that pulled me back to reality.
"What are you going to do? Don't look at my older sister, or I'll gouge your eyes out."
Suddenly, we found ourselves surrounded by a large group of thugs, with Xiao Qingling tightly protecting me with her tiny body, barely three feet tall.
Those men were staring at me with intense, burning eyes. Some had nosebleeds, and some were drooling like they were three thousand feet long. It was disgusting to look at.
