Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 769: Chapter 769: The Cute Baby Acts Spoiled
 

“Oh no! The caramel is coming again, let’s run!”

Chubby Chou Chou hurriedly grabbed the crying little girl and quickly ran far away.

The remaining little boy glanced at the woman who was rushing towards them, a flash of wisdom in his eyes, and then calmly shook off the wetness from his body before following the two figures ahead.

Just as quickly as they had disappeared, the maid searched around but could not find anyone: “Strange, I just heard Miss crying, how can they vanish in the blink of an eye? Miss! Young Master! Miss… ”

She did not give up and searched nearby several more times but never found anyone, eventually leaving disappointed and looking back every few steps.

That’s how summer thunderstorms are – they come and go quickly.

By the time the woman returned to the flower hall, the rain outside had stopped. A woman posing as a married woman was sitting in the hall, facing away from the main entrance, busying herself. A housekeeper with account books stood by her side, eyes fixed straight ahead.

As if hearing the commotion from behind, the woman casually inquired with a voice like an orchid in a valley.

“Lan Xiang, did you see Miss and Young Master?”

The maid called Lan Xiang trembled, nearly losing her balance, but still had to come forward and bow.

“Madam, it’s my incompetence. I failed to take care of Miss and the two Young Masters. I… ”

“Never mind! It’s not your fault, Lan Xiang. Don’t blame yourself. Just be more attentive next time.”

As the crisp voice, like the singing of an oriole, sounded, the woman finally got up, revealing her face to everyone in the flower hall. That kind of ethereal beauty really shouldn’t appear on a married woman.

Although Lan Xiang had seen her Madam’s face before, every time she would be mesmerized, unable to recover from her daze for a long time, just like now.

“Lan Xiang, Lan Xiang? You’re daydreaming again.”

The woman shook her head and waved, dismissing her directly: “Stop dazing out, you can leave now. Remember to prepare the family punishment, later when those three little bastards are brought out.”

“Yes, yes, Madam.”

It took a while before Lan Xiang could recover, blushing with heat, and then withdrew.

It wasn’t until she stepped out of the flower hall that she remembered Madam’s order to prepare the family punishment, leaving her feeling torn.

“You silly child, you must be new here? So you don’t understand our Madam yet.”

Seeing Lan Xiang looking so worried, Ms. Gao, who was holding a plate of pastries, comforted her: “Madam dotes on the three children as if they were treasures. Don’t be deceived by her stern words now; when the Miss and Young Masters return later, she will certainly have a change of heart and won’t be able to enforce the punishment.”

“But… ”

Lan Xiang still found it hard to understand.

“Don’t worry about it. Miss and the two Young Masters have never been quiet for a single day, and everyone is used to it. You are just new here, so you are naturally worried.”

What a simple and kind child!

After saying this, Ms. Gao shook her head, carried the pastries into the flower hall, and went straight to the woman’s side before reporting softly.

“Madam, I made some pastries for you to taste.”

“Put them there; I smelled the fragrance from far away. I’m sure Chou Chou will love them when he comes back later.”

“Yes, the Third Young Master enjoys eating pastries more and more. As soon as these pastries come out of the pot, he can smell them from far away and find his way back.”

Ms. Gao seemed to recall something, and she couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle softly.

“That’s right! So this child is getting rounder and rounder, not looking like me or Ye Lei. I really don’t know how he will turn out when he grows up like this?” The woman, Liu Sisi, sighed softly.

As soon as Di Yelei was mentioned, her smile froze on her lips.

Four years ago, Di Yelei led his 2,000 trusted soldiers to the capital, taking four months to escort His Majesty and finally arriving in the spring of the second year.

Liu Sisi was full of hope, waiting for Di Yelei’s return, not expecting that Northern Liao would attack the Great Zhao, seizing three cities of the Great Zhao in one night. His Majesty was furious, appointed Di Yelei as Marshal, leading an army of 200,000 as support, and he hasn’t returned since.

Seeing Liu Sisi lost in thought again, Ms. Gao hurriedly changed the subject: “Even if the Second Young Master is a bit chubby, he doesn’t seem fat. On the contrary, the Third Young Master is surprisingly intelligent and outstanding, reciting the Four Books and Five Classics at such a young age. How extraordinary will this continue to be?”

Mentioning the young one, Liu Sisi finally pulled back her drifting thoughts.

A delicate, pink-tinged little face appeared before her eyes with extremely lovely features.

Especially those bright, crystal-clear black grape-like eyes, clean and pure, without a trace of impurity! It made people can’t help but like him at first glance. Only an occasional flash of intelligence showed how cunning his mind could be!@@novelbin@@

How could that child be just intelligent? Even though he was her own child, she couldn’t help but shout: Isn’t that a demon?

“Little one doesn’t like people talking about him like this. His ambition is not here, so don’t worry about him.”

As the two were chatting leisurely, several little heads poked out diligently from outside the door. Liu Sisi’s eyes flashed with an indulgent color, which disappeared quickly as she continued discussing the details of the account book with Old Cheng.

Soon, a small figure appeared at the doorway, followed by a chubby little body rushing into Liu Sisi’s arms.

“Mom! Your third child is back!”

Chou Chou rubbed his face against Liu Sisi’s, smiling like a lazy kitten. His mouth was greeting Liu Sisi while his eyes were already focused on that plate of cakes.

“Chou Chou is back? How was your day today? Were you well-behaved… huh! Why are you all wet? Did you get caught in the rain earlier?” Liu Sisi’s eyes narrowed dangerously.

“No, mom! It was just that Niuniu fell down by accident when walking, and I went to help her up, but I ended up getting wet too.”

“Give it up! You dare lie!”

Liu Sisi’s face darkened, and she became angry right away, pushing him away from her.

“Mom…”

Chou Chou looked confused, not understanding why his mother suddenly became angry.

“Tell the truth, how did you get wet all over?”

“Mom, don’t be angry. It’s Chou Chou’s fault for playing outside and getting caught in the rain…”

“You little rascal, if you had spoken up earlier, wouldn’t everything be fine? Come here, let me dry you off, and hurry down with Lan Xiang to change your clothes. Don’t catch a cold.”

“Mom, you are so kind, you are the best mom in the world! Hehe…”

Chou Chou’s little mouth seemed to be smeared with honey, so sweet.
