Yang Tiange slapped his younger brother's hand and said sternly, "Don't be naughty and bully your sister."
He was giving a meaningful look as he spoke.
Yang Tiandi reluctantly let go. Of course, he wasn't bullying Wushuang; he was just afraid that the adults would discover their intentions and take his sister away so they wouldn't be able to play with her.
His worries were not unfounded.
Adults can't read minds, but Wushuang will tattle.
Before going to sleep, she sat in Junshu's lap and repeated the conversation her cousins had when they carried her.
"Father, I don't want to talk to them anymore. Anyone who wants to separate Shuangshuang from her parents is a big bad guy," Wushuang pouted and complained.
"Boys are naturally mischievous. Wushuang doesn't have any brothers his age, so he doesn't know." Junshu didn't take the kids' words seriously and just laughed.
Madam Yang also said, "Your cousins just dote on you. How could they really hide you? Even if we can't find you, over time, you'll need to eat, wear clothes, and grow up. Do you think no one in your grandfather's house will notice there's an extra person?"
Wushuang felt neglected because her parents were too carefree. She took a nap feeling wronged and then heard that Chu Yao had sent a letter to the governor's mansion, preparing to bring Chu Wan to visit.
Wushuang was so excited that she didn't even take a nap. She broke through the encirclement of her three cousins and went to greet them at the gate of the mansion.
"Chu Yao! Chu Yao!" she shouted, jumping up and down in front of the carriage that had just stopped.
Chu Yao lifted the curtain and raised his eyebrows.
Wushuang seemed particularly happy to see him today. Could it be that their brief separation had brought them great joy...? Hmm, he realized he had used the wrong word and immediately dismissed the thought.
Chu Yao got out of the car, first picked up Chu Wan and put her on the ground, then lifted Wu Shuang up by her little bottom and asked with a smile, "Did you miss me?"
"Someone is trying to hide me and prevent me from returning to the capital," Wushuang lamented. "You must remember to save me!"
"Who's so audacious?" Chu Yao wasn't really taking it seriously, but he still coaxed her, "They dare to hide even my people? Don't they value their lives?"
Wushuang was amused by him and giggled.
Meanwhile, Chu Wan, who had been neglected by her brother and Wu Shuang, was warmly received by the three brothers.
“This younger sister is also very pretty.” Yang Tiandi was always straightforward and couldn’t hide his thoughts. “Let’s hide her away too.”
Yang Tiange glared at him: "You can't be too direct!"
Yang Tianxing had already squatted down, using his body to coax Chu Wan, saying, "I heard you and Shuangshuang are good friends, so you must be willing to stay at our house with her, right?"
Chu Wan was always guileless, and when she heard that she would be with Wu Shuang, she smiled and nodded in agreement.
Yang Tiandi immediately jumped up excitedly and shouted, "I have another little sister!"
This shout attracted the attention of Wushuang and Chuyao.
When Wushuang saw Chu Wan standing there obediently, her big eyes wide and her smile sweet, and then looking at the three brothers, whose expressions were different but who could not hide their joy, Wushuang guessed what had happened and quickly said, "Wanwan has to go back to the capital. She can't stay here forever."
“Our family is hundreds of times better than the one in the capital!” Yang Tiandi retorted.
As the words left their mouths, the three brothers saw Wushuang being held by Chu Yao.
"Who are you?" Yang Tiandi asked first. "Why are you holding my sister? Put her down! Put her down!"
He jumped to reach the person, but the enemy's height advantage was too great, and he couldn't succeed for a long time.
Yang Tiange, however, walked past Chu Yao without making a sound, came to the carriage, took out a dagger from his pocket, and stabbed the horse pulling the carriage hard in the rump.
The horse, in pain, neighed and dragged the carriage away.
Yang Tiange turned around and said smugly, "Who cares who it is? The car's gone, but my two sisters have to stay!"
Chapter List 42|5
Chapter 42:
Her carriage suddenly started moving, and Chu Wan's sweet smile froze. Her lips gradually drooped, and finally, she burst into tears. [www.qiushu.cc Lots of great novels]
Chu Yao had no choice but to bend down and pick her up as well, gently comforting her.
Wushuang also took out a small handkerchief to help wipe Chu Wan's tears: "Wanwan, don't cry, the coachman has already gone after them."
"The horse is injured..." Chu Wan pouted, "He bullied the horse, he's a bad guy..."
No matter how calm and resourceful Yang Tiange was, he was still just a six-year-old child. When he heard his "new little sister's" evaluation of him, his face fell instantly.
Seeing that his two younger sisters were being held by Chu Yao, Yang Tiandi's hostility towards him intensified. He pulled his two older brothers to surround Chu Yao, glaring and berating him as if they had caught a child trafficker in the act.
When the adults of the Yang family heard that the Prince of Ying had arrived with the young princess, they came out to greet him and were greeted by this lively scene.
A mischievous child injured the horse belonging to the Prince of Ying; this matter could be considered a big deal or a small one.
From Chu Yao's perspective, it is indeed a matter of youth. Although he is not old, only sixteen years old, he is, after all, a prince and the commander of the Lingguang Guard. His early achievements make it easier for people to overlook his actual age. Therefore, it is even more inappropriate to seriously argue with a young child, and one must adopt a magnanimous attitude.
From the perspective of both the Jun and Yang families, if their own children make mistakes, no matter how big or small the matter is, or how old the offender is, they must face it squarely, apologize, and conduct further education behind closed doors.
Yang Xi personally selected a fine horse from the governor's stables. Chu Yao repeatedly declined but could not refuse, so he had to accept the arrangement of his future father-in-law's father and ordered the coachman to harness the horse to the carriage for the journey back.
The three Yang brothers knelt in a row in the main courtyard. As their grandfather ordered someone to bring out the family law, the two younger brothers jumped up and ran away like monkeys.
"Bring them back to me, pin them to the ground, and give each of them ten strokes of the cane!" Yang Xi stomped his foot in anger.
The boys in the Yang family started practicing martial arts at the age of four. Despite their small size, they were no slower than ordinary adults and were very agile. The servants chased the two little monkeys all over the field, almost catching them several times, but they always managed to dodge their attacks.
Exhausted and panting, she finally managed to corner the two little masters in a corner of the courtyard.
