The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 477 - 439: Challenge

"Hmm...?!

Hearing the completely opposite responses from the two little guys, Yuan Bao was also slightly taken aback.

"Come, tell your sister a story, what made you unhappy?"

Yuan Bao glanced at the eldest younger brother, Yuan Shouqian, who said he was unhappy.

The little guy was growing older and wasn’t as easy to fool as he was when he was younger.

"Big sister, I’m not as little as the second brother now. This kind of game is too boring, too simple, and lacks challenge for me!"

Sure enough, seeing his big sister asking for a reason, Yuan Shouqian naturally didn’t hesitate to express his thoughts.

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing the response from her eldest younger brother, Yuan Bao instantly laughed.

When you’re young, everyone dreams of growing up, thinking about what they can do and what kind of person they’ll become when they’re older.

However, once you actually grow up, you realize how naive you were back then.

"Do you want to play something challenging?"

Yuan Bao smiled gently at Yuan Shouqian and asked casually.

"I do!"

Does she even need to ask?

Yuan Shouqian felt that his big sister had clearly gotten dumber compared to before.

"Little Uncle, what do you think?"

Yuan Bao turned her head to look at Wei Wushang.

Obviously, she was handing this task over to Wei Wushang.

When Wei Wushang heard Yuan Bao speak, he understood her intention and immediately smiled, saying, "I think it’s fine!"

"Then, I’ll trouble you, Little Uncle!"

The Wei Family, a long-established family existing alongside the Daxia royal family, had its own educational methods for children of appropriate age. In this regard, even Yuan Bao, a transmigrator from the future, could not compete.

They say times are advancing, and civilization is progressing.

But in fact, the advancement of times doesn’t only bring about the progress of civilization but also obliterates many things that are actually worth inheriting and referencing.

Not to mention other things, just some good educational methods have been gradually buried under that so-called humanization. In the era before Yuan Bao transmigrated, children who should have been well-educated had their educators’ right to discipline gradually stripped away due to the boundless indulgence from parents and elders.

"Brother-in-law, let’s go, I’ll take you to play something challenging!"

Wei Wushang, determined to help Yuan Bao alleviate her troubles, would naturally take good care of his brother-in-law. As for the second brother-in-law, who didn’t yet understand what something challenging meant, that could be managed later.

Not knowing what awaited him, Yuan Shouqian was so excited upon hearing Wei Wushang’s words that after thanking Yuan Bao, he hurriedly followed Wei Wushang away.

Meanwhile, Yuan Bao took Yuan Shouxun to see the Eldest Princess.

"Mother!"

Upon seeing the Eldest Princess, Yuan Bao respectfully saluted her.

Yuan Shouxun also displayed respectful etiquette.

In terms of manners, Yuan Bao had taught her two younger brothers very well.

Having witnessed their cousins’ failures, with such a previous example, how could Yuan Bao possibly ignore her two brothers’ educational issues?

Even though they were still young, their lack of age could be forgiven for a lack of knowledge, but it could not excuse a lack of manners.

A lack of manners could only indicate that the elders at home had not fulfilled their responsibility to teach properly.

"Jiaojiao, come, come!"

The Eldest Princess’s face was full of joy upon Yuan Bao’s arrival.

"And Little Shouxun, come to Auntie!"

"Mother, did you call me for some good news?"

Seeing the Eldest Princess’s expression, Yuan Bao understood that she must have something good for her.

"So clever!"

The Eldest Princess chuckled, "Indeed, in a few days, it’s your grandmother’s birthday, and by then, you and your husband will accompany me to the palace!"

Upon hearing the Eldest Princess’s words, Yuan Bao didn’t know whether to feel happy or anxious.

The Empress Dowager’s birthday celebration, huh!

If possible, Yuan Bao really didn’t want to attend.

It’s not that she had any issues with the Empress Dowager, but her birthday celebration was bound to bring many guests. Among them would be all sorts of noblewomen.

When these people gathered together, it assuredly led to all sorts of gossip.

And compared to them, Yuan Bao’s age was truly awkward.

Even though she had married Wei Wushang, their marriage was just nominal at this point.

In the past, given Wei Wushang’s reputation for bringing misfortune to his wives, no matter how much these noblewomen coveted the title of the Wei family’s Princely Heir’s wife, they could only watch enviously.

After all, if their daughters weren’t of solid background and encountered Wei Wushang, their little lives would be unsteady.

However, the situation was different now.

Yuan Bao had married Wei Wushang and was living well.

These people, upon discovering that Wei Wushang had shed the reputation of bringing misfortune to wives, though they couldn’t seize the title of Princely Heir’s wife, believed that as long as they connected with the Wei Family, that would be their greatest victory.

Of course, these were just speculations of Yuan Bao.

As for what the truth would actually be, only time would tell.

...

In the following time, the Eldest Princess introduced Yuan Bao to the female guests who might appear at the birthday celebration, detailing their names, backgrounds, and dispositions. Whatever the Eldest Princess knew, there was no trace of concealment from Yuan Bao.

Although Yuan Bao realized that this time the Empress Dowager’s birthday celebration might bring trouble, she knew clearly that having married Wei Wushang, these matters were unavoidable for her.

As it grew dark, Wei Wushang returned with Yuan Shouqian.

After playing a challenging game all afternoon, when Yuan Shouqian saw Yuan Bao again, he was teary-eyed.

"Big Sister, boohoo..."

At the moment he saw Yuan Bao, Yuan Shouqian burst into tears.

"What happened?"

Yuan Bao smiled at her eldest younger brother, "Did your brother-in-law not play something challenging enough with you?"

"Big Sister, you’re bullying me too!"

Seeing the smile on Yuan Bao’s face, Yuan Shouqian instantly realized that he had been tricked by his big sister.

"Oh, grow up already!"

Seeing Yuan Shouqian, who was angry from realizing the truth, Yuan Bao laughed even more, "Besides, this was the challenging game you wanted!"

"Or are you admitting, Yuan Shouqian, that you can’t handle it?"

"Who says I can’t handle it?"

True "encouragement" comes from provocation!

Without even needing to exert herself, Yuan Bao got Yuan Shouqian to fall into the trap on his own.

"Big Sister, don’t underestimate me!"

"Hmph, you’ll see, I will definitely complete this game!"

The Wei Family’s method of training its members wasn’t rigid teaching but a targeted approach of learning through practice. They choose their lessons based on each person’s character.

Yuan Shouqian had been brought into this premeditated training during a game.

As for how long it would take him to achieve something, it depended on personal perception and talent.

As the son of Yuan Yindi and Ruan Wan, Yuan Shouqian undoubtedly had excellent inherited traits. However, how much of that inheritance he could grasp was yet to be seen.
