"Men who suffer injustices outside come home to cry to their mothers? How shameful!"
"you……"
"Your mother is your backer, but who is your mother's backer?" Huo Xiaolong squatted down and asked the young master of the Sun family.
"My mother's backer is my father!"
"How many mothers do you have?"
"Of course I only have one!"
"Where is my mistress?"
This question stumped Young Master Sun, as he himself didn't know how many concubines he had in his household.
"If your father can be a support for your mother, he can also be a support for other women. With so many people relying on your father, aren't you afraid that one day the mountain will collapse?"
The little boy didn't speak, but was carefully thinking about what the little dumpling had said.
"If you're capable, you should be a pillar of support for your mother, instead of pinning your hopes on others."
"I……"
Yes, with so many concubines in the family, and so many children born to the father, every young master and young lady, in order to gain the favor of the family's powerful backer, had their minds preoccupied with these matters every day.
What if his father falls ill?
"Brother, are you alright?"
Hou Xiangxiang and Huo Xiaolong had already left, but Young Master Sun was still lying on the ground, thinking about what the little dumpling had just said to him.
It's alright.
He dusted himself off, took his sister's hand, and asked...
"What about you? Are you alright?"
Miss Sun shook her head
"No, Hou Xiangxiang was just dragging me along. What are you thinking, brother?"
"I was just thinking about what that little potato said earlier."
"ah?"
"What if our dad passes away one day? Who will we rely on then?"
He and his sister weren't the most favored children in the Sun family by their father, but they were twins, a lucky omen of good fortune, so no one in the elders' eyes could compare to them.
But what if you really have an outstanding sibling?
For the first time, Young Master Sun felt a sense of crisis, as if he had fallen out of favor at home.
Although the brother and sister were not injured, they were filthy. They had specifically instructed the maids not to follow them, so when they appeared in the main hall covered in dirt, the prefect's wife was somewhat embarrassed.
What happened to you two?
When his mother asked, the young master was a little embarrassed to answer.
After all, he and his sister combined hadn't even gotten close to Cheng Xiangxiang, let alone her with a four-year-old child. Besides, if his mother found out he was fighting with his sister outside, he would definitely get a beating.
We both fell by accident.
Before Young Master Sun could speak, Miss Sun spoke.
Although the little girl is spoiled in some ways and a bit stubborn when it comes to friends, she would never do something like tattling on someone.
"Go back to your room and change your clothes."
The prefect's wife gave a wink to the maid behind her, and the brother and sister went out with her.
"It's normal for kids to be a little mischievous. My Xiangxiang is the same. She used to be quiet, but after going to Pingyang County, she met a girl and they're always running around together."
The Lady of the Marquis said to the Lady of the Prefect, "These ladies usually say that my daughter is well-educated, polite and discreet."
But is this really a good idea for a seven-year-old?
Others say that these young ladies from wealthy families will become wives of officials in the future; that's how every official's wife started out.
Lady Hou herself did not grow up in this way, which is why she spent her days in tears after entering the inner quarters of the household. If she had to choose between living in a prestigious family and allowing her daughter to be free to express her true nature, Lady Hou would choose to let her daughter grow up happily, just like herself.
"Please don't belittle me. Your Xiangxiang is one of the most outstanding young ladies in Beining County. How can she be compared to these two rascals of mine?"
Lady Hou smiled at her but didn't respond.
"Mother, just now, Miss Huo and Miss Cheng got into a fight with the two children from the Sun family," Wang Bin whispered to his mother from behind.
Hua Luan raised her left eyebrow slightly, as if to ask if anyone was injured.
Wang Bin shook his head.
"No, Miss Cheng took on two by herself, she's incredibly skilled!"
The woman looked her son up and down, who had been talking to his father like a scholar since childhood, and rolled her eyes.
You're nothing special, you're just watching a kid and acting as a supporter.
Hua Luan patted Cen Ang on the shoulder and whispered the matter to her.
Xiangxiang and Huo Xiaolong tidied up before entering the house. The two mothers were used to their little dumpling fighting, but they never expected that their daughter could beat up other people's children in the prefect's mansion.
"mother"
Hou Xiangxiang ran in and sat down next to her mother, and Madam Hou poured her a cup of warm tea.
"Did you have fun with them?"
The little girl glanced at Huo Xiaolong and said matter-of-factly.
"happy!"
I had so much fun, Mom! I beat up all the young masters and ladies of the Sun family.
Huo Xiaolong, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened, grinning as he held Cen Ang's hand and talked about what he wanted to eat that night.
"Mom, I want to eat snow-white red bean paste tonight."
"You look like a red bean paste! How dare you fight on someone else's turf?"
"They were the ones who said the unpleasant things first. What, did they come back to complain?"
"No, it was your Aunt Hua who told me. Your mother doesn't know yet. If she found out, she definitely wouldn't let you eat dinner tonight."
The little girl peeked out and looked at her mother, who was sitting next to Cen Ang, clinking glasses with the ladies. She hugged Cen's mother and kissed her cheek, then whispered...
"Mom, don't tell my mother I'll be hungry if I don't eat dinner tonight. I'm still growing."
"You knew you'd be punished, yet you still fought. Didn't I tell you? You have to find the right time to fight. Look at this time and this place, where is the right time?"
"Oh my god, those two were the ones who started arguing with the little girl first."
