Chapter 5 The Third Brother

“Watch your step, Master Chengbin. Your little sister is still napping. Don’t wake her, Jiang Ning cautioned as she pulled him along.

Yang Chengbin, the third young master, just turned eight this year. He was born on the Lantern Festival and had a round, chubby face.

He was a bit mischievous, and not much into studying, but loved indulging in snacks and treats.

His father, Marquess Yang, often scolded him for his antics.

Yang Chengbin quickly covered his mouth and whispered, “Okay, I’ll be quiet. But where’s my little sister?”

Xu Jia smiled and pointed to the cradle in the next room.

“Mother, you look really tired and pale. What happened?” Yang Chengbin, though just eight, was always attentive to his mother’s well–being.

Zhang Ling managed a smile. “Oh, just feeling a bit exhausted today. Don’t worry about me. Why are you back so early?”

Zhang Ling heard something and asked with a frown, “Did you skip your class again?”

Yang Chengbin chuckled. “Grandma always covers for me, so Father can’t scold me. I’ve never been into studying anyway.” He often got in trouble for skipping his studies.

A vein throbbed on Zhang Ling’s forehead.

She looked troubled: “Chengbin, you should start being more responsible, Maybe then your Father will show you more affection?” There was still a glimmer of hope in Zhang Ling’s heart.

Yang Chengbin huffed. T’d rather die than study!‘ Studying was absolutely out of the question for him. Zhang Ling sighed.

Yang Chengbin walked over to the separate room, leaned over the bed, and his chubby face popped up in front of Yang Yuting

Yang Yuting jumped in surprise.

‘Oh, it’s my brother with the eternal grudge

‘Looks all tough, but kinda cute.

Yang Chengbin blinked in confusion.

He glanced back and saw Zhang Ling far away, he knew she didn’t hear it.

Yang Chengbin rubbed his nose, realising it was just him and his little sister.

Wow, it seems like I’m truly the chosen one.

It’s like I can almost hear what my sister’s thinking! Yang Chengbin grinned with delight.

Chapter 5 The Third Brother

Poor my third brother. He is miserable….

‘Has been led astray from a young age, overly spoiled, hates studying – Just a fool who displeases his se mbag father and brings shame to the family.

“Even though he’s a Marquess‘ son, he’s uneducated, embarrassing us all in the entire city

‘Sigh, Chengbin never seemed too bright. No wonder he ended up dying so horribly.

Yang Chengbin’s fingers trembled. Me? Dying horribly?

They ripped out his tongue, cut off his ears, sliced his mouth and nose, chopped off his limbs, and then stuffed him into a big jar to make him into a human–pig! Such a miserable fate for a man… Yang Yuting thought about his three brothers, each dying in a more gruesome manner than the other.

Yang Yuting gave him a subtle glance, knowing he’d always been slow, and ended up losing his life because of someone’s scheme.

Yang Chengbin jumped up with a loud “Whoal”

“What’s wrong?” Zhang Ling snapped back to reality, looking over at her son in the adjacent room.

Yang Chengbin hesitated, then blurted out, “I… I want to go back to my room.”

Under Zhang Ling’s puzzled gaze, Yang Chengbin’s eyes welled up with tears, his chubby hands clenched into fists. I… I want to go back to studying. I’ll go back and study until I’ve mastered everything!”

Sob sob sob. It’s so awful. I’m so miserable!!

The chubby kid wailed and ran off, crying.

Zhang Ling was dumbfounded, unable to come back to her senses.

Jiang Ning smiled and said, “Madam, our Master Chengbin has become sensible now. Lord Yang will surely be happy when he hears about it.”
