General, Your Wife Wants You to Get Out - C127
The maidservants guarding the shore covered their faces and cried out in alarm. Fortunately, the child was received safely. They were neither shocked nor injured as they fell into the servant’s arms and giggled.
“Aiyo, these two bastards!” Auntie Liu patted her chest, quite frightened.
The child returned unscathed. The wet nurse cried as she walked forward and hugged the two mischievous kids. Even her arms were still shaking.
“Cloud Cong, Cloudburst!”
A furious roar came from behind them. Everyone looked over and saw Lord Liu striding over in big strides. It was clear that he had seen the farce.
“Little brat!” You only know how to mess around all day! ”
Having known Liu Yuan for so long, they had met him a few times. When had they ever seen him so angry?
Su Zhi was a little worried for the two brats. Lord Liu seemed to be a strict father.
“Milord, it’s all my fault. I wasn’t optimistic about the two young masters. If you want to be angry, then come at me.” The wet nurse stood in front of the child, afraid that Liu Yuan would punish the two children.
“Don’t let these two brats off. You don’t know the seriousness of the situation today. What should we do if we end up in a disaster in the future?”
No matter how much the wet nurse begged, Liu Yuan still went forward and grabbed the children’s ears, one on each side, as they walked towards the ancestral hall.
Lord Liu was furious, no one dared to go up and plead.
Auntie Liu was worried about the child and couldn’t help but interrupt: “But they just like to play around a bit. When they get older and become more sensible, they will naturally know how powerful they are. Such a young child, will you still punish them by kneeling in the ancestral hall?”
Su Zhi also felt that making such a young child kneel down in the ancestral hall was a little harsh, but if the child’s playfulness did not subdue, it would indeed be bad. This time, he had been caught red-handed. What should he do next time?
“Bring the two young masters down. Kneel until nightfall and don’t get up!”
The servant took away the crying child. Although he felt sorry for the two children, he did not dare to obey the order.
“Kneeling for so long, how can the child take it!”
Lady Liu panicked and followed after him to plead on behalf of her two children. Seeing that her nephew was truly angry, she could only be anxious.
Liu Yuan had a cold expression. He listened to everyone and personally supervised the kneeling of the two children in the ancestral hall.
No matter how much the little rascal cried, no one dared to talk to him.
“Move the praying mat away, kneel on the ground!”
The servant had no choice but to take the prayer mat and have the two children kneel on the cold floor.
The child was so young that he would have to kneel until dark, and the kneecap would have to be injured.
Su Zhi patted Auntie Liu’s hand, signalling for her not to worry. When Liu Yu An’s anger subsided, she whispered a few words into the maid’s ear.
“Lord, this isn’t the way to educate children.”
Only now did Liu Yu An notice Su Zhi. He said somewhat awkwardly, “I’ve let Lady Su watch a joke. These two vile creatures are really a headache.”
“Kids who are a few years old don’t understand anything. If you punish them like this and don’t explain how strong the relationship is, you might make the same mistake again.” If you continue to punish them, they won’t know what to do and what not to do. Over time, they will become rebellious and unhealthy for the child’s mental health. ”
“Then what should I do? These two brats have made me worry quite a bit.”
Su Zhi smiled amiably at the two children, then said to Liu Yu An, “If Sir Liu trusts me, then let me say a few words.”
Originally, it was someone else’s family matter, so it was inconvenient for him to talk too much. However, Su Zhi had also taken care of the child herself. She understood that the child had to be taught well.
She poured two cups of boiling tea and placed them on a tray. She squatted down to touch the two crying children, “Cloud Cong, Cloud Shui, you can’t play with fire in the future, and you can’t climb into such a dangerous place. Fire is a very dangerous thing, and it will hurt if you come across it. ”
She held two cups of boiling tea in front of the child and said, “Feel it.”
As expected, the two children reached out to touch the porcelain cup. The moment they touched the cup, they immediately withdrew their hands.
“Touch it again.”
“No ~”
This time, the two children didn’t touch anything. With their hands behind their backs, they were no longer curious.
“Hey, this is the feeling of being scalded. Do you understand that playing with fire is more dangerous than this? And if you all fall into the pond and get hurt, Daddy will feel so much heartache. ”
Su Zhi softened her voice and explained the danger she was in patiently. The two glutinous rice balls stopped crying and nodded, seeming to understand what was going on.
One of them was a bit bolder. He stood up and pounced towards Liu Yuan without waiting for the others to speak.
“Daddy, I was wrong ~” A delicate and soft child pounced on him. Liu Yuan’s anger receded quite a bit, and the other child, seeing this, also stood up and pounced over.
Looking at the two pitifully crying children, Liu Yuan felt terrible as well.
Since the death of his mother, he had been busy with official business and rarely accompanied his children.
A child so insensible, as a father also has a responsibility.
It looked like it was time to reconnect. When he was busy on his own, there was always his mother watching over him.
As Liu Yuan thought of this, he unconsciously looked in Su Zhi’s direction.
If he were to take a wife, he would rather marry someone as virtuous, capable, gentle, reasonable, pleasant to listen to, and good-looking like Su Zhi.
He lowered his head and smiled at the two children, but his eyes were elsewhere.
Su Zhi had wanted to go back and accompany her child, but Liu Shiqian insisted on staying, so she decided to stay.
On the same day, Ye City, a thousand miles away.
The rapidly advancing elite troops were imposing, and the general in the lead was wearing a silver armor, carrying a long sword at his waist; he was unstoppable.
“General, Ye City has arrived!” Tan Chao rode up to report
Xiao Qian nodded slightly. “Stay alert. The rebel army should be waiting in ambush nearby.”
“Yes, sir.”
Along the border of Ying City, there were dense forests, which made it easy for them to ambush the enemy.
Xiao Qian looked at the main road in front of him and felt that something was amiss.
The place where the army had arrived was extremely quiet.
There were no spies nor rebel soldiers. The rebels who had been so furious a few days ago had actually disappeared.
“General, what’s wrong?” Tan Zhao walked up and asked.
“It’s nothing. My eyelids are jumping.”
“Left or right?”
“To the right.”
Tan Zhao laughed, “You’re finished, your wife is going to be taken away!”
“Scram!” Xiao Qian snorted coldly as he lifted his foot to greet the man with the broken mouth.
“Don’t, don’t, don’t. Don’t look at the tense situation, let’s liven up the atmosphere.”
Ever since they had left the capital, the entire journey had been rather strange.
It was rumored that half of the mutineers could not see the Ye City. Ye City was the first place to be occupied, but there was not a single person guarding it.
“What about the pay?”
“General, all the pay that was stolen has been gathered and sent over.”
Xiao Qian snorted, “It’s only been a few days and he already collected several tens of millions of silver taels. The Zhao Family is truly wealthy.”
Tan Zhao wiped off his cold sweat. The thing he was most worried about right now was whether the Zhao Family had done anything in secret. That day in the imperial court, he had slapped the face of his uncle, offending the entire Zhao Family.
If Empress Zhao had blown a little wind by the pillow, who knows what the situation would have turned out like.
“General, don’t you think that something is amiss? With Zhao Dagang’s personality, how could he obediently return the money? ”
“Yeah, it doesn’t seem like the style of Zhao Du.”
“Then someone else was involved in this matter?”
Xiao Qian raised his eyebrows. “The entire Zhao Family will be caught off guard. The one who does the opposite will be the third young master.” I wonder what kind of surprise Zhao Zheng has prepared for us this time. ”
No matter what, if the Zhao Clan dared to pay, he would take it.
It should have belonged to those brothers who risked their lives to begin with. As for who he would offend, he didn’t care too much.
“Send a few spies to investigate.”
