"I am the Crown Prince, and the entire Sheng Nan Kingdom will be mine in the future! Your General's Mansion will also be mine! Then you'll see if I can chop you up?"
"You big bad guy who only knows how to kill people, I don't want to talk to you!"
The two children's bickering abruptly interrupted Li Chang'an's intense internal struggle.
"Shut up, all of you! Let's see who dares to make a sound! You have no manners at the dinner table at all, what kind of behavior is this!"
Li Chang'an frowned and reprimanded, even the veins on his forehead bulging slightly.
"I don't want to listen to you, you big bad guys, you're both big bad guys! Get out of my house, get out of the General's Mansion!"
He only paused for a moment before Qin Yubao uttered these incoherent words again.
"Brother Bao! What nonsense are you talking about? You're going to anger Her Highness the Princess..."
Just then, Qin Xiashi arrived and intervened, subtly stirring up trouble from the sidelines once again.
On the surface, she was acting as a peacemaker, but in reality, after saying these words, she had completely severed ties with Li Chang'an and the others.
"Qin Yubao! You've gone too far!"
Li Chang'an was instantly furious, slammed his hand on the table, and his face immediately darkened.
She never expected that Qin Yubao, who was only three years old, could say such things, and she suddenly felt that the child must have been spoiled.
"Waaaaah..."
Upon seeing Li Chang'an's terrifying, almost murderous, expression when he got angry, Qin Yubao immediately cowered. Without saying a word, he opened his mouth and burst into tears, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
"Oh, oh, oh... Bao-ge, don't cry, Bao-ge, don't be afraid, Mother is here..."
Qin Xia immediately hugged Qin Yubao tightly and coaxed him softly, while blushing and glaring fiercely at Li Chang'an.
Just wait and see. Including today's debt, I will definitely get my revenge slowly in the future!
At this moment, only Qin Yubao's crying echoed in the room.
After crying loudly for a while, she switched to soft humming, and finally to intermittent sobbing.
Qin Xia held the child tightly from beginning to end, patting his back and gently coaxing him, completely ignoring Li Chang'an and Li Changsheng.
Li Changsheng was unimpressed and glanced contemptuously at Qin Yubao, who was hiding in Qin Xiashi's arms. He thought that this person was really incompetent and did not act like a man at all. He could only hide in an adult's arms and cry. Wasn't he very tough when they were arguing just now?
What a shameless person!
Li Chang'an, however, stood to the side, his brows furrowed, deep in thought.
Qin Yubao's crying calmed her anger considerably, and she gradually became more rational.
Upon careful consideration, Li Chang'an suddenly realized that he had overlooked a crucial matter from the very beginning.
Qin Yubao could never have said those words himself.
The reason he suddenly became like this today is definitely because someone instigated him behind the scenes.
Moreover, in Li Chang'an's mind, the only person who could be the prime suspect for doing such a thing was Qin Xiashi.
The more Li Chang'an thought about it, the more convinced she became of her guess. After calming down, she prepared to probe indirectly.
"Yu Bao?"
After trying his best to soften his tone, Li Chang'an tentatively called out.
But as soon as Qin Yubao heard her call him, he immediately turned around and buried his face in Qin Xia's arms again.
"Okay, stop crying. I didn't mean to be mean to you. Our Yu Bao is such a good and obedient child. I believe you didn't mean what you said just now, right?"
Although things are not going smoothly so far, Li Chang'an remains patient, trying to gradually get Qin Yubao to open up and tell the truth.
But Qin Yubao, with her face covered, didn't speak for a long time, and Li Chang'an couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
However, Qin Xia had already keenly sensed something and felt that Li Chang'an must have ulterior motives for asking such a question.
Want to fight against yourself?
No way!
Qin Xia couldn't help but snort inwardly, then quickly composed herself and said, "Don't cry, Bao Ge. How about Mommy takes you to wipe your face? I'll have Sister Xing'er buy you some candied hawthorns later..."
With that, she got up and left her seat, giving Li Chang'an no further chance to speak to Qin Yubao.
Seeing that all his efforts had come to naught, Li Chang'an felt extremely unhappy, but in the end he could only sigh helplessly and end the meal that had made him unhappy.
Seeing that Li Chang'an had left, Li Changsheng quickly got up from his seat and followed him out. Before leaving, he didn't forget to take a piece of pastry and stuff it into his mouth.
Having only eaten half of his meal, and having just had an argument with Qin Yubao, Li Changsheng felt a bit hungry again.
The two returned to the courtyard one after the other. Li Chang'an continued to read the book absentmindedly without saying a word.
Li Changsheng sat sullenly in the yard next to a big tree, idly pulling at the grass on the ground and occasionally teasing the ants crawling around on the ground.
Come to think of it, life in the general's mansion doesn't seem as enjoyable as life in the military camp.
Thinking this, Li Changsheng suddenly felt a little regretful. He should have known better than to come to the General's Mansion and instead go to the Regent's Mansion with Feng Beichuan. It would have been much more interesting there than here.
However, what frustrated him even more was Qin Yubao's matter.
I thought I would definitely become good brothers with Qin Yubao, but who would have thought that just a few days ago the two of them were catching crickets together, and now they are inexplicably arguing.
Li Changsheng's first experience of making friends seems to have ended in failure.
However, what frustrated him the most was Li Chang'an's attitude.
Qin Yubao was the one who provoked Li Chang'an first, but Li Changsheng didn't understand why Li Chang'an didn't get angry at him.
If it were me, I would probably have been scolded long ago if I did something so outrageous.
Is it just because I'm a few years older than that kid?
What kind of situation is this?
"Royal sister..."
Li Changsheng suddenly looked up at the woman not far away and said in a low voice.
"Hmm? What is it?"
Li Chang'an raised an eyebrow slightly, then looked up at Li Changsheng, whose face was full of melancholy.
I suddenly found it a little funny, wondering how the child had suddenly turned into this.
"Don't you like me? Or do you hate me...?"
Li Changsheng asked with a serious expression.
Why would you say that?
Li Chang'an immediately put down the book in his hand, and his expression became somewhat surprised as he looked at the child's innocent face with a gloomy look that shouldn't have appeared there.
Why has this child suddenly become so neurotic?
