Xiao Shuangning's behavior touched Shumei's bottom line. Shumei was full of anger. While blaming Xiao Shuangning, she dragged Xiao Shuangning back home.
Little Youchen couldn't bear to see Xiao Shuangning being wronged, so he trotted after her, speaking up for her as he ran, "Mom, Ningning is still young. She's a girl, so it's natural for her to be sentimental. Don't blame her. She was already sad enough because Xiaobai died. Plus, she was scared by the snake just now, so it's understandable that she went a little too far. Don't be angry with her."
"It's sad, but you can't do anything rash! She's not a three-year-old child anymore. If she can't even handle this, how will she survive in society in the future?"
"Mom, isn't Ningning still young? She and Xiaobai have been together for so long, they must have feelings for each other, and it's inevitable that they'll be sad."
"Little girl, you're the one who dotes on her and has spoiled her." Shumei said angrily, throwing Xiao Shuangning into her own room. "It's the dead of night, stop making a fuss and go to sleep. Otherwise, you'll wake up the neighbors and cause unnecessary trouble."
Xiao Shuangning's tears fell quickly. Xiao Youchen was about to go over to comfort her, but she turned around, slammed the door shut, and threw herself on the bed, crying heartbreakingly. She cried so hard, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
“Pah pah pah…”
Xiao Youchen knocked on the door. He was still worried about Xiao Shuangning and wanted to go in and comfort her.
But no matter how he clapped and shouted, Xiao Shuangning still didn't come to open the door for him.
"Youchen, stop knocking. It's getting late. Go to bed quickly. Ningning, don't you know her? She has been like that since she was a child. No matter how sad she is, she will feel better after a good sleep. She is just that heartless." Shumei persuaded little Youchen in a charming voice.
Xiao Youchen stopped slapping, turned around, looked at Shumei with helpless eyes, and said nothing.
"Okay, I'm going back to the chicken coop. You should go to bed too."
"Oh, Mom, I get it, go to sleep!"
Shumei gave Xiao Youchen a brief explanation and returned to the chicken coop. This hastily tossed her around so much that she lost all desire to sleep. She returned to the chicken coop and made a thorough inspection before falling asleep.
Xiao Youchen lay on Xiao Shuangning's door and called out for a long time, but in the end Xiao Shuangning still didn't come to open the door to let him in.
He asked many questions and said many things, but all he could hear was the intermittent crying of little Shuangning. He was tired of calling out, tired of shouting, but still couldn't wait for little Shuangning to come and open the door, so he could only shut up and lean against the door to listen carefully to the movements in the house.
Even if Xiao Shuangning didn't open the door for him, he couldn't abandon Xiao Shuangning. When Xiao Shuangning was sad, he had to stay with her.
He listened to Xiao Shuangning's sad cries through the door until her cries became quieter and quieter until they were no longer audible. He figured she must have fallen asleep, so he went back to his room to sleep.
Shumei was right; Shuangning was truly heartless. The next day, upon waking up, she completely forgot about last night's sadness and found her happy smile again.
The family sat around the square table and had a simple breakfast.
Xiao Shuangning ate with gusto, not a trace of sadness on her face.
While eating, Xiao Youchen stared at Xiao Shuangning with suspicion.
"Brother, what are you doing? Why are you staring at me instead of eating? Is there something on my face? That shouldn't be the case! I just washed it thoroughly." Seeing Youchen looking at her with such eyes, Xiao Shuangning touched her face with her hand, looked at her hand again, and asked Xiao Youchen in confusion.
"Ningning, are you really okay?"
"What's the matter?" Xiao Shuangning said with a look of disapproval, "Oh! I see, you mean about Xiaobai? Oh! Yesterday is already in the past. No matter how sad I am, Xiaobai can't come back to life. It's better to forget it."
Xiao Shuangning's words sounded a little too reasonable, not something she could say at her age, but they were indeed spoken from her mouth.
After hearing this, Xiao Youchen was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. Ever since Xiao Shuangning came to live in his house, he had never seen her so upset because of anything.
Shumei looked at the surprised expression on little Youchen's face, smiled and shook her head, "Youchen, am I right? You! You just dote on her too much. She's not tofu, she won't get hurt that easily."
"Oh!" Little Youchen let out a soft "oh", closed his mouth which was as big as a fish's mouth, and continued chewing the food in his mouth.
Seeing Xiao Shuangning so sad last night, he was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night. He didn't expect that the emperor was not anxious but the eunuch was. He was self-righteous and self-indulgent.
