Chapter 97 If you don’t go, there will be a lot of trouble.
Under the candlelight, the inside of the bed flickered.
Song Baoyuan covered herself with the quilt, lying on the pillow, staring blankly at the flower-shaped jade pendant in her hand.
I don’t know what happened to Achao after he returned home. I think... his father should be easier to deal with than Jiang Keyu.
Song Baoyuan snorted softly, put the jade pendant under her pillow, turned over and went to sleep.
As a new day arrived, the snow on the ground was another inch thicker.
"In just a dozen days, it will be the Chinese New Year."
Early in the morning, Qiao Yue came into the house carrying a wooden basin. "Miss, are we staying at the old house this year?"
Song Baoyuan had just gotten out of bed and was sitting at the dressing table, smoothing her hair. "Where else can I go?"
Qiao Yue wrung out the cloth and handed it over. "I just wanted to confirm. After all, everything should be prepared for the New Year."
Song Baoyuan looked out the window. The whiteness was blinding. "Let's keep it simple this year."
"yes."
"Are Chengcheng and Suisui up yet?"
Qiao Yue picked up the comb and stood behind Song Baoyuan. "They woke up a long time ago. But they didn't know my husband was injured and thought he was just lying in bed, so they started making a fuss early this morning. Miss, do you think we should find an excuse to stop them? Otherwise, the child won't be safe, and my husband might be even more seriously injured."
Song Baoyuan raised an eyebrow at the mirror. "Why should I care? He's my own son. Let him suffer on his own."
Qiao Yue laughed, "Breakfast has been sent to my husband, and I'm just waiting for my lady to come over."
Song Baoyuan said without thinking: "I won't go."
Qiao Yue stole a glance at her face and asked, "Miss, do you not want to see your husband?"
"Do you think he's sick?" Song Baoyuan turned around and raised her voice as if seeking agreement. "He always does nonsense things and says nonsense."
Qiao Yue lowered her head and smiled secretly, "Yes."
"Go and ask them to have breakfast. No need to wait for me. I'm not going."
"Then the servant girl can bring one over here, Miss, please enjoy it in the room."
"Um."
On the other side, Jiang Keyu was lying on the Arhat couch, feeling annoyed by the two noisy children.
Finally, someone pushed the door open. He looked over and saw that only Qiao Yue came in.
"Sir, the young lady said she won't be coming. Please accompany the young master and the young lady for breakfast."
Jiang Keyu frowned slightly, "What happened to her?"
"Miss, nothing's wrong. She's just too lazy to come."
Too lazy to come? He clearly didn't want to come, Jiang Keyu thought, do you really not want to see him?

At noon, Song Baoyuan sat by the charcoal fire, lying on the table bored, flipping through the account book listlessly.
"Miss!" Qiao Yue ran into the house.
Song Baoyuan raised her head slowly, "What's wrong?"
"My husband won't take the medicine!" Qiao Yue spread her hands and said, "He said it was just an external injury and there's no need for medicine. He won't listen to anyone's advice!"
"What is he doing now?"
Song Baoyuan was like a firecracker that was instantly ignited. Although the sound was not loud, it was obvious that she was angry.
Qiao Yue took a half step back and touched her ear at a loss. "How about you, Miss, go and persuade him?"
"No!" Song Baoyuan straightened up and clenched her fists.
Qiao Yue opened her eyes wide, "What do you mean?"
Song Baoyuan frowned and stared at the account book at hand, as if lost in thought.
She suddenly said, "Help me bring the ears of corn."
Jiang Keyu, who could only temporarily relieve the pain by lying down, kept looking sideways towards the door. But when there was any movement at the door, he immediately turned his head to the other side.
“Daddy!”
Jiang Keyu only heard her daughter's voice and did not respond, but after waiting for a long time, there was no other sound.
Jiang Suisui came up to his father, confused, "Daddy, why are you ignoring me? Did you fall asleep again?"
Jiang Keyu then turned around and found that only her daughter had come.
"No, Daddy didn't hear it just now."
Jiang Suisui didn't care and picked up the bowl beside him, "Daddy, drink the medicine!"
"Daddy doesn't need to take medicine."
"But mother said!" Jiang Suisui suddenly became excited, "If dad doesn't take the medicine today, he will die tomorrow, and my brother and I will be without a dad!"
Jiang Keyu: “…”
It’s the New Year, and there are no taboos at all.
"How could that be? Isn't Daddy right here?"
"What about tomorrow?"
"She'll be there tomorrow too." Jiang Keyu said patiently, "Your mother lied to you."
Jiang Suisui pouted, "Mom would never lie!"
Her eyes turned red as she spoke, "Daddy, don't you want me anymore? You only take my brother riding and not me. You take my brother out to play and not me. You don't even take the medicine. Don't you want me anymore?"
"No!" Jiang Keyu panicked. "Why would you not want Sui Sui? Daddy loves Sui Sui the most."
"Then Daddy takes the medicine."
As soon as Jiang Keyu hesitated, Jiang Suisui burst into tears and couldn't even hold the medicine bowl steadily.
"Don't..." Jiang Keyu was helpless. "Daddy, please drink it. Please drink it, okay?"
He took the bowl with one hand and wiped his daughter's tears with the other, coaxing her, "Look, Daddy drinks... cough!"
bitter.
He wanted to drink the medicine in the bowl in front of his daughter, but the taste was so exaggerated, bitter and pungent that he not only didn't finish it, but almost vomited it out.
“Woo woo!”
Jiang Suisui stood in front of him and looked at him with tears in her eyes.
Jiang Keyu had no choice but to drink it while suppressing her nausea, "Why is it so bitter?"
It's as miserable as his life.
"It seems to be the young lady's order." Liu'an, who was watching from the side, said quietly, "The young lady ordered a few more herbs to be added. Although it won't do any good for your injury, it won't change the medicinal properties, and it will make the taste more colorful."
Jiang Keyu: “?”
Not only did she not even come to see him, but she also deliberately made trouble for him?
"Mom told me to supervise Dad to take his medicine every day." Although Jiang Suisui's face was still covered with tears, she smiled and raised two fingers, "He has to drink it three times a day!"
Jiang Keyu: “…”
He forced a smile and said, "Sui Sui is so good. Can you pour Daddy a glass of water?"
"No!" Jiang Suisui immediately shook her head. "Mom said Dad can't drink water or eat anything for half an hour after taking the medicine!"
Liu'an couldn't help laughing out loud.
Jiang Keyu's eyelids twitched, "You're still laughing? Pour me a glass of water!"
"no!"
Jiang Suisui jumped up anxiously, ran to the teapot and opened his arms to stop it.
Liu'an stood aside honestly and said, "Yes, I will listen to you, young lady."
Jiang Keyu: “…”
"father!"
Another one came. Hearing her son's voice, Jiang Keyu felt more and more tired.
Jiang Chengyou ran in excitedly with a head of snow.
He asked curiously, "Daddy, I heard from Sister Qiaoyin that Mom used to call you brother, just like how my younger sister calls me! But the teacher said that we should call Mom's older brother or younger brother uncle. So why should I call you daddy? Can I call you uncle?"
"uncle!"
Jiang Suisui only understood half of what was said and started to shout out as if to join in the fun.
Jiang Keyu: “…”
Good job, one wants to poison his own father, the other wants to make his own father angry to death.
"Heh." He suddenly smiled and hooked his index finger, "Jiang Chengyou, come here."
Jiang Chengyou's bright smile froze on his face. His father's tone sounded familiar and not very good.
He stepped back silently.
"come over!"
"Dad, I was wrong."
Jiang Chengyou decisively lowered his head, hanging his head, although he didn't know where he went wrong.
"Come here, and I'll tell you why."
Jiang Chengyou suddenly became nervous and could not hide his hesitation.
Jiang Keyu softened her voice and said, "Don't you want to know?"
Jiang Chengyou relaxed his vigilance and moved forward slowly.
“Wooooooaaaaah!”
As soon as he got close, he was grabbed by the ear.
"Come on, call me uncle!" Jiang Keyu said through gritted teeth, "Your father is not dead yet, who are you going to give the position to?"
"I won't dare anymore!" Jiang Chengyou howled, "Dad, I was wrong!"
"Beat the child?"
Half an hour later, the news reached Song Baoyuan's ears.
She was confused. "How could he hit a child like that?"
Qiao Yue shook her head. "Not really. He just twisted my ear a couple of times, not too hard. But my husband made me stand in the corner, facing the wall, and he didn't say how long I had to stand there."
"Did Chengcheng provoke him?" Song Baoyuan questioned openly, "Or is he simply taking his anger out on the child?"
"I heard from Liu'an that the young master suddenly had the idea to call Langjun uncle, and that's what happened."
Song Baoyuan: “?”
It doesn't sound like an injustice.
"This young master has been standing there for half an hour, and the young master has no intention of letting him go. No one else's pleas will be of any use. I'm afraid you, young lady, will have to go there in person to save the young master."
"I'm not going." Song Baoyuan said sideways.
"Then let the young master continue to stand there?"
Song Baoyuan thought for a moment and said, "How about you go find a doctor and get him to prescribe some medicine?"
Qiao Yue was puzzled, "What medicine?"
"It's a medicine that will make a man infertile for the rest of his life." Song Baoyuan said seriously, "If you mix it with the medicine for his wounds and let him drink it, then he will only have one son, Chengcheng, in his life. I can't treat him too badly."
"ah?"
Qiao Yue's eyes widened in shock, unable to believe that these words came from her own lady's mouth, "That's not possible."
She really doesn't dare to do this.
"Can't?" Song Baoyuan asked sincerely.
Qiao Yue pursed her lips, finding it difficult to answer.
"I can't just let it go." Song Baoyuan said generously, "Then go and tell me, I have something to talk to Chengcheng about."
"Even if you say so, my lord won't let me go." Qiao Yue sighed, "I feel that if you don't show up at my lord's place today, there will be more..." Her voice got lower and lower, "there will be more trouble."
Song Baoyuan scoffed, "I'm not going!"
"What about the young master?"
"It's just a punishment to stand. Chengcheng is that guy's only biological son after all. Can I let him stand there for nothing?" Song Baoyuan said harshly, "I won't get involved in their affairs."
Qiao Yue was no longer surprised, "Okay."
After a full hour, Jiang Chengyou, who was standing in the corner, felt aching and aggrieved. He tentatively called out, "Dad!"
Jiang Keyu, who was flipping through the files, glanced at him and asked, "Can't stand it anymore?"
"Um."
"Your mother doesn't dote on anyone anymore, not even you."
Jiang Chengyou couldn't hear clearly, nor did he understand, "Dad, what are you talking about?"
"Nothing, let's go out and play."
Jiang Chengyou's eyes lit up, and he ran away as if he was afraid that his father would go back on his word.
He opened the door wide and the cold wind blew in. Liu'an hurried forward and tried to close it.
"etc."
But he was stopped by Jiang Keyu.
"Keep the door open and open the window too." Jiang Keyu said expressionlessly.
Liu'an looked around and said, "My dear, do you feel stuffy in the room? The small window is already open for ventilation. If it is left open, the charcoal fire will be of little use. It will be bad if you catch a cold again."
"It doesn't matter."
Liu'an frowned, "You are not..."
He felt it was ridiculous, "You only have one life, and you're still wasting it!"
"go!"
