Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 1110 - 478: Hidden Danger (Part 3)

Little Bun’s eyes lit up, but then dimmed: "Auntie, they say mom doesn’t want me anymore, mom just wants the two brothers."

Yueyao patted Little Bun’s head and said, "Silly child, you were born by your mother after ten months of pregnancy, how could she not want you? It’s just that your grandfather is alone in the Capital City, so he wants you to stay and accompany him. For this, your mom cried so much at the dock on the day she left that she couldn’t even walk, and she repeatedly instructed me to visit you often."

Little Bun looked at Yueyao with sparkling eyes and asked, "Auntie, is what you said true?"

At this time, Little Bun’s Wet Nurse had already brought over his clothes. Yueyao personally helped Little Bun change his clothes, and the Maid changed all the bedding.

After dressing Little Bun, Yueyao tapped his nose and said, "Don’t you know if it’s true yourself? You silly child, even though your mom usually says you’re exceptionally clever, you believe the idle gossip of a few old nannies and got sick because of it, silly or not?"

Bai Yi brought in chicken porridge. Little Bun had just sweated, his fever subsided, but his body was still weak. Yueyao couldn’t bear to put Little Bun down and took the porridge to feed him.

Little Bun was a bit shy: "Auntie, no need, I can do it myself."

Yueyao laughed: "When you’re well, even if you want Auntie to feed you, Auntie won’t do it." As children grow, they must learn to be independent.

Little Bun, full and sated, felt much better. Yueyao sat by the bedside, smiling, "Can’t sleep? If you can’t sleep, Auntie will tell you a story, okay?"

Little Bun’s eyes brightened: "Okay."

Yueyao gently told the story of the tortoise and the hare. Actually, these stories were originally told by Yuehuan to her own son, and she later documented these little stories and gave them to Yueyao.

After telling the story of the race between the tortoise and the hare, Little Bun started to ponder seriously, then earnestly said, "Auntie, does this story mean we should be humble and not arrogant?"

Yueyao nodded: "Little Bun is really smart. Alright, if you want to hear stories, Auntie will tell you next time. Now, be good and sleep."

Little Bun obediently closed his eyes.

Yueyao waited until Little Bun fell asleep before heading home. She expected to hear her sons crying upon returning, but unexpectedly found all three playing happily in the side room.

Xiang Wei proudly said: "With me here, there’s nothing that can’t be handled. Watch, in the future, these three kiddos will be absolutely obedient." Dare to misbehave, just one word, spank.

Yueyao laughed and said: "You really have a way."

Xiang Wei chuckled: "How’s Little Bun?" Knowing the back story, Xiang Wei shook her head and said: "I told you Mingzhu is an idiot, didn’t I? But you wouldn’t believe me. If it were me, I’d definitely take Little Bun to Suzhou no matter what."

Yueyao glared at Xiang Wei fiercely: "On such a big issue, how could you not ask for my or Mingzhu’s opinion before acting, without considering the consequences? Now it’s brought this trouble, and you still have the audacity to blame Mingzhu. Filial piety is the top virtue, and since Old Master Niu insists on keeping Little Bun in the Capital City, what can Mingzhu do? Do you want to cause a rift between them? Or have Mingzhu stay in the Capital City while Niu Yanghui goes alone to Suzhou?" Though Niu Yanghui has deep feelings for Mingzhu, unlike cousin Ma Peng, even if Old Master Niu doesn’t grant him a concubine, if Niu Yanghui stays in Suzhou for a few years, he’ll certainly take a concubine.

Though reluctant, Xiang Wei admitted Yueyao’s scolding made sense.

Seeing Xiang Wei’s expression, Yueyao sighed softly: "Forget it, it’s pointless to discuss any further since things are as they are now. In the future, we’ll take better care of that child." Old Master Niu doesn’t stop me from visiting Little Bun, showing it’s not as bad as I thought.

Xiang Wei quickly said: "Don’t worry, I’ll take care of Brother Shengsheng and the other three." Xiao Kexin is so well-behaved and obedient that no teaching is needed. The three kids are so rambunctious, they’re just right to train on. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Yueyao indeed plans to let Xiang Wei teach the kids martial arts when they turn three. Previously, Xiang Wei had a hidden illness which prevented her from practicing martial arts, but now she’s physically well, teaching the three boys shouldn’t be a problem.

Xiang Wei wasn’t aware of Yueyao’s plan: "You don’t want to cultivate a successor?"

Yueyao smiled: "Do you think it’s easy to find a successor? My teacher took over forty years to find me as a successor. To paint, one not only needs talent but also interest."

Xiang Wei didn’t argue with Yueyao over minor matters: "You hired a teacher for Kexin to learn calligraphy, don’t you plan to hire a teacher for the three boys in the future too?"

Yueyao nodded: "A teacher would teach better than me." As for academics, that goes without saying, teaching your children can lead to softness, and softness can ruin things; therefore, Yueyao never intended to teach her own children herself.
