Where is he supposed to repay this?!
And he didn't kill the little white rabbit either!
Why is everyone staring at me? My goodness! Please don't hurt your son like this...
Tang Jian felt as if a huge pot had been placed on his head, and he was very wronged.
Then he looked at his wife's gloating expression and Sun Ding's evasive gaze, avoiding his eyes.
I'm a little itchy inside.
Tang Jian looked at Ya Ya and tried to explain:
"This... Ya Ya's little white rabbit ran away! Your Uncle Sun chased after it and only found this little white rabbit, so he brought it back. Maybe this rabbit is its younger brother or sister! It came to keep you company."
Tang Jian made up a story with a straight face. He couldn't very well tell the child that the rabbit was killed by the wolf cub, or the child would be even more heartbroken!
Ya Ya looked at Sun Ding with a suspicious expression. Is that so?
Yes! That's it!
Sun Ding nodded vigorously at Ya Ya with a look of certainty.
Ya Ya looked at Lin Zao again; her mother was the person she trusted most!
Seeing Tang Jian looking at her nervously, Lin Zao could only nod guiltily to Ya Ya in confirmation.
This was a white lie she told, hoping her dear daughter wouldn't mind.
Tang's mother noticed that something was wrong with the group, but seeing that Ya Ya had stopped crying, she didn't bother with them anymore.
"Okay... the little bunny probably misses her mother..." Just like her, if she can't see her mother, she'll miss her too!
Seeing that Ya Ya finally stopped insisting on having the little rabbit, the group finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Daddy, let's send the other little rabbit back too! It must miss its mother too!"
Seeing her earnest expression, Tang Jian thought to himself how kind and well-behaved this child was. He gently hugged her and replied softly:
"Alright! Father will send it back to its mother tomorrow!"
"Yes!" Ya Ya nodded emphatically.
"Then Daddy, come with me to find Little Gray to play now~ My brother is still there~"
Ya Ya knew that the two wolf cubs' mother had been killed by a wild boar, but she didn't suggest sending them back.
"Okay! Let's do it together!"
***
On the children's birthday, after sending Ya Ya to the Prince's Mansion, Lin Zao returned home and began to decorate the General's Mansion with the servants.
From the main gate of the General's Mansion all the way to the main hall, colorful lanterns of various sizes and shapes were hung.
The staggered arrangement makes it look just as impressive as modern balloons.
Potted flowers were also placed along the way, and when the children returned in the evening, the flowers would take on a hazy beauty under the colorful lights.
The main hall was the most beautifully decorated. Lin Zao had specially set up a small stage with a yellow-green satin backdrop, on which hung some blessings she had written with colored pens, as well as simple line drawings of various cute little animals.
She drew the picture herself. She had learned to draw when she was a child, and although she hadn't drawn for many years, she could still make out what it was.
Various colored round lanterns are hung on the roof, illuminating the entire room brightly even at night, with the main color being yellow-green.
There were also some brightly colored ribbons hanging on both sides, and some of the ribbons were deliberately twisted into the shapes of small animals or flowers.
After being arranged, the whole room looked very colorful. Although there were many things and the shapes were a bit strange, the overall aesthetic presented a modern aesthetic that people of this era had never encountered before.
Moreover, these things existed in this dynasty, so they weren't particularly unusual; others would only find them novel.
After everything was ready, Lin Zao went to the kitchen to make a cake herself. Luckily, she had flour in her space, so she needed to steam it first to make low-gluten flour.
Then we separated the egg whites. The main problem was whipping the egg whites, so we had several servants take turns whipping them.
By the time Lin Zao finished making the cake, quite a bit of time had passed.
Han Qingyuan brought his wife, Li Xiaotao, over in the afternoon. Li Xiaotao's belly looked even bigger, and she was estimated to give birth in about two months.
Lin Zao didn't pick up the two children today; Tang Jian did it instead.
As dusk fell and the children were about to return, Lin Zao had all the lanterns lit, instantly illuminating the general's mansion as bright as day.
Steward Wu waited at the entrance of the General's Mansion and saw two carriages approaching from afar.
One of them belonged to the General's Mansion, while the other one, judging from its design, should belong to the Prince's Mansion!
Steward Wu quickly sent a servant to inform the madam and the others.
From afar, Lin Zao and the others heard someone shouting:
"Report! The general and the others are back! People from the Prince's residence have arrived!"
