Chapter 257: An Example

Si Linglong watched as the little cutie and the fat fox, who had been huddled close to her, cautiously stepped back at the same time, with accusations and fears towards her written in their bright black eyes.

Si Linglong's mouth twitched slightly.

"I'm just giving an example."

Xue Sha and Xiao Li Sheng: The little baby said he didn’t quite believe it.

Si Linglong: ...

Because she raised an inappropriate chestnut, Si Linglong was forced to coax the two kids for another quarter of an hour until dinner was delivered on time, which resolved her dilemma.

Because there was no meat on the table, little Li Sheng refused to eat at the table. He simply climbed back onto the kang and started to eat the various kinds of jerky that he had bought at the foot of the mountain today.

She was so happy today.

I never thought there were so many delicious foods in the human world.

Seeing that she refused to eat, Si Linglong did not force her and asked Shu Hong to prepare a bowl of goat milk soup for her. After all, she was still a cub and needed to drink more milk.

Calcium supplements.

Helian Yue looked at Si Linglong's attitude towards the child. After observing her for a day, he felt that she had begun to treat the child as her own.

Just like when I asked her to be responsible for feeding Xuesan, she treated Xuesan as her own pet.

There was silence for a moment.

It was not until after dinner, when Qinglu took Xiao Lisheng and Xuesha to the nearby room to wash and rest, that he asked Si Linglong,

"What are you going to do with this child?"

Si Linglong was still packing up some small toys that she bought for Xue Sha and Xiao Li Sheng today. When she heard Helian Yue's words, she was unable to react for a moment.

"ah?"

【What to do? 】

Helian Yue repeated, "Deal with that child."

From her previous heartbeat, he had basically accepted the fact that this might be a transformed monster cub.

But accepting her existence does not mean accepting to keep her by your side.

Si Linglong suddenly came back to her senses and realized what he was talking about. She subconsciously asked, "You can't keep it with me..."

Before he could finish his words, Helian Yue interrupted him coldly, saying with a resolute and unyielding voice, "No."

Not to mention that this might be a monster cub, even if she was not a monster, but just an ordinary child, Helian Yue would never let her bring her back to the palace to raise her.

After all, this is not a pet, this is a child.

Si Linglong's heart instantly fell when she heard Helian Yue's decisive "no".

I didn't know what to say for a moment.

Intellectually she understood.

It's okay if it's outside, but it's impossible to bring the person back to the palace.

This is not Helian Yue's child, why should he be brought back to the palace to be raised?

She was still a concubine, and it was impossible for her to openly adopt a child and raise him with her. Even the young maids in the palace were not so young.

No matter how much she liked Xiao Li Sheng, she would never bring him back to the palace to raise him.

This was the case intellectually, but emotionally, she was still a little sad.

She really likes little Li Sheng.

After lowering her head for a while, Si Linglong suddenly looked up at Helian Yue with a bit of stubbornness in her eyes, "But, you gave her a name."

Names are very special for both pets and monsters.

Especially for monsters, if they are not close to them, they will not even allow others to call their names.

In Si Linglong's opinion, since she has already been given a name, she should be responsible for her.

It was rare for Helian Yue to see her so persistent, and now she was not pretending to be weak and obedient at all.

However, rules are rules.

It would be the same even if he had named the child himself.

Helian Yue forced himself to harden his heart and tried not to show any sign of softening. After a long while, he said in a deep voice, "The Queen Mother has decided to return to the palace with you. We will set off together in a few days."

Si Linglong was stunned when she heard this, and her heart sank again.

It seemed that the probability of seeing Li Sheng follow him back to the palace had dropped several degrees.

Seeing that she looked shocked, Helian Yue paused, then said in a slow tone, "You can think about it carefully these few days. Whether to leave the person in Yutai Mountain or bring him back to Yongjing and raise him outside the palace is up to you. I will order someone to make proper arrangements."

Just taking her into the palace is not enough.

Si Linglong obviously also heard the subtext in Helian Yue's tone and became depressed for a moment.

[It’s so troublesome. …Or I’ll just leave the palace!!]

Helian Yue: ???
