488 Xiaobao Fighting for Favor, Er’bao Speaks

Qing Yan chuckled. “What kind of place do you think the Myriad Book Pavilion is? Do you think you can go there just because you want to? The State Preceptor Hall is even more heavily guarded than the Queen Manor. The Myriad Book Pavilion is a place with tighter security than the State Preceptor Hall. Even the Emperor can’t enter easily.”

“You’ve been there?” Jiang Hai asked.

Qing Yan coughed lightly. Back then, when he passed by the Imperial Capital of Nanzhao to go to the Great Zhou from the Ghost Clan, he went in for a stroll. The outcome of his stroll was a little difficult to say. In short, he did not want to approach the State Preceptor Hall anymore.

The old man said, “The State Preceptor Hall is filled with mechanisms. There are sacrificial soldiers with powerful martial arts guarding it, and there are also many Gu worms hidden in the mechanisms.”

The few of them looked at Ah Wei! Other than Yu Wan, there was only Ah Wei among them who was not afraid of Gu worms.

Ah Wei’s face darkened. You were fierce to me just now, and now you want to squeeze me dry. The great villain Ah Wei would not compromise!

“Go pack your things and leave at night,” Grandma said to Ah Wei.

Ah Wei went to pack up in a second!

Yu Wan actually wanted to go too. She wanted to see the legendary Myriad Book Pavilion, but she also understood that Grandma would not agree to her taking the risk. Grandma was really a good person.

Grandma: You’re a dilettante who doesn’t even know Qinggong. I’m just worried that you’ll hold us back if you go…

The State Preceptor Hall was not so easy to break into. There were many things that needed to be prepared. Unfortunately, Yu Wan could not help much other than to take out money. However, now, she did not even have to take out money herself. Old Madam was still angry that she did not spend the money in the golden invitation.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Grandma, I’ll go to Wutong Courtyard first. Call me if you need anything.”

“Mhm.” The old man nodded in a deep voice. Yu Wan stood up and returned to the Old Madam’s courtyard—Wutong Courtyard.

The old man, Qing Yan, and Yue Gou looked at each other. The atmosphere was a little awkward. After all, they had agreed to kidnap her back to the clan. It was a little embarrassing if they suddenly stopped.

“It’s not that we aren’t doing that,” the old man said. “We’ve only found two types of medicinal primers and haven’t completely won their trust. If we suddenly say that we’re going to the Ghost Clan, it will definitely arouse their suspicion.”

Qing Yan straightened his back and said, “Grandma is right. We’ll help them find more medicine so that they can be controlled by us without any distractions! We haven’t forgotten the oath we made in front of the King! We’ll be loyal to the Ghost Clan to the death! We won’t betray him!”

Yue Gou scratched his head. “But if we find the last two herbs, won’t they not need us? Then how can we trick them into going to the Ghost Clan?”

The silent old man : “…”

Qing Yan, who was also silent: “…”

Fifteen minutes later, Yue Gou came out with a swollen face.

On the other hand, after Yu Wan returned to the Wutong Courtyard, she immediately went to her and Yan Jiuchao’s room. She suddenly remembered that after hearing that Yan Jiuchao needed a medicinal bath, Helian Beiming got someone to dig a pool overnight and decorated it with high-quality white jade in the Wutong Courtyard.

Yu Wan carried the first aid kit and went to the bath. Yan Jiuchao was not the only one in the bath. Xiaobao also came. He had left his brothers alone. He stood by the pool with his hands on his hips, looking at his father in the pool. “Come on, hit me!”

The little fellow was still holding a grudge for being beaten up by Yan Jiuchao and swore to get back at him.

Yan Jiuchao soaked leisurely in the pool and casually placed his arms on the surface of the pool. He said indifferently, “Come here.”

Xiaobao placed his hands on his hips and said, “You hit me, but you still want me to go over?”

The little brat had learned a lot in the past few days. Yan Jiuchao glanced at him slightly, but he did not show it on his face. He nodded and said, “Aren’t you asking for a beating? Of course you have to come.”

Xiaobao thought about it and felt that it made sense. “No!” Xiaobao stomped his feet. “You, come here!”

Yan Jiuchao smiled. “You, come here.”

“No!”

“You don’t want to be beaten up anymore?”

“Yes, I want to!”

The content of the conversation was unknowingly led astray by Yan Jiuchao. Originally, the little fellow was provoking Yan Jiuchao so that he couldn’t hit him, but in the end, Xiaobao was the one who became anxious when he could not get the beating he wanted. Xiaobao scratched his ears and cheeks.

Yu Wan listened behind the screen for a while and did not know whether to laugh or cry. The father and son were probably enemies in their previous lives and would fight all day. In the end, Xiaobao could not think of a solution and left angrily.

Yu Wan walked out from behind the screen and glared at her husband. “How could you bully your son?”

Yan Jiuchao looked at her strangely. Weren’t sons used to bully? Otherwise, where was the joy of giving birth to sons?

Yu Wan : “…”

What was with the illusion that this fellow was a peerless father?

However, although Xiaobao did not take advantage of Yan Jiuchao, he immediately became a little favorite when he reached Old Madam’s room. First, Old Madam hugged him with a smile and said affectionately, “My little sweetheart, my little obedient great-grandchild. Quick, call me great-grandma!”

“Great-grandma!” Xiaobao called out in a childish voice.

The old lady’s heart was about to melt. She grabbed a large bag of candy for him. “You haven’t called your Eldest Grandpa yet.”

Xiaobao looked at Helian Beiming in the wheelchair and obediently called him Eldest Grandpa. Everyone in the room laughed. The maidservants also liked to tease him and coax him to call them sister. He also called them sweetly.

While Dabao and Er’bao were pooping, Xiaobao had successfully captured the hearts of everyone in the room.

There was a maidservant in Wutong Courtyard who was even more beautiful than Zi Su. Her name was Xiao Yu and she specially took care of the flowerbed for the old lady. Xiao Yu was beautiful and had a good heart. She also treated the three little fat fellows very well.

After lunch, the old lady went to rest. The three fat children could not sleep, so they slipped off the bed and went to the flowerbed to look for Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu was drying her newly plucked chrysanthemums. After drying them, she brewed chrysanthemum tea for the old lady. “Chrysanthemums have the effect of clearing the liver and clearing the eyes. It’s good for the body.”

The three of them did not understand what it meant to clear their livers and clear their eyes, but they understood what it meant. Without another word, Dabao and Er’bao rolled up their sleeves and painstakingly picked up a small basket to send to Yu Wan. The two of them were so tired that they were sweating profusely. However, as soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Xiaobao, who had done nothing, beat them to it!

“Mom, this is for you. You’re so beautiful.” Xiaobao shyly gave a small flower to Yu Wan.

Yu Wan was overjoyed by this child’s teasing. She could not help but hug him and kiss his face. “Xiaobao is so obedient!”

Xiaobao shyly crossed his fingers. “Is Xiaobao Mom’s favorite, obedient baby?”

Dabao and Er’bao’s faces darkened. They really wanted to beat this guy to death! Xiaobao was the smallest and the weakest. His martial arts value was often crushed by his two brothers, but ever since he spoke, Xiaobao had learned to cheat.

“Mom! Er’bao hit me!” Xiaobao complained.

“Great-grandma! Dabao snatched my things!” Xiaobao continued to complain.

“Eldest Grandpa! Help! Help!” Xiaobao was on the way to complain and never returned.

Dabao and Er’bao were punished to reflect on their mistakes. Xiaobao lay behind the door and stuck his round little head out. He stuck out his tongue smugly at his two brothers. “Boohoohoo!”

Where there was oppression, there was resistance! Dabao and Er’bao finally couldn’t take it anymore. On a sunny afternoon, the two of them beat up Xiaobao, who was still sleeping.

Xiaobao covered his painful butt with snot bubbles hanging from his nose and went to the old lady’s room aggrieved. Xiaobao wanted to complain, complain so much!

However, no one expected that when Xiaobao finally entered the old madam’s room, he saw Er’bao sitting obediently on the old madam’s lap. His mother, stinky father, and eldest grandfather were sitting on both sides of the old madam. The old madam was laughing so hard that her eyes could not be seen. “What was Er’bao saying just now? Say it again!”

“Great-grandma,” Er’bao said.

Xiaobao was furious!

“What about me? What about me?” Yu Wan patted her chest expectantly.

“Mom,” Er’bao said softly. Compared to Xiaobao’s delicate voice, Er’bao’s voice was sweet and soft. It was simply obedient and gentle. Yu Wan rewarded him with a big kiss.

“What about Eldest Grandpa?” Helian Beiming said.

“Eldest Grandpa,” Er’bao called sweetly.

“Call me Dad,” Yan Jiuchao said.

“Dad,” Er’bao said adorably.

Yan Jiuchao smiled and rubbed his son’s head in satisfaction. Xiaobao knew how to address people, so did Er’bao. But Er’bao knew how to address people that Xiaobao would not. Er’bao instantly became the favorite of the new generation.

“Aiyo, great-grandma’s little darling! Why does great-grandma like you so much?” The old lady hugged Er’bao tightly in her arms. He was really the apple of her eyes.

Xiaobao seemed to hear the sky falling. Despair and grief flashed across his little face. He knelt on the ground and punched his chest with his little fists.

Wuu! I’ve lost favor!
