Xie Changan couldnât bear to listen to such nonsense. He merely jumped down from the branch with a whoosh and leaped onto the eaves of the wall in just a few jumps. Then, he turned around and slid down along the trunk of the tree.
His movements were so fierce and thrilling that the palace staff below were unbelievably frightened, leading to a cacophony of screams After Xie Changan jumped to the ground, he rushed out without even waiting to regain his footing, âMother.â
Mu Mingtang followed the palace servantâs lead angrily in order to settle a score with Xie Changan. From afar she could already see a bunch of servants surrounding the base of a tree. As expected, it was none other than Xie Changan who jumped from the top and raced towards her as if he was a cannonball.
This little brat!
Mu Mingtang saw with her own eyes that there was actually quite a bit of vertical distance between where he jumped and the ground. Although he seemed fine afterwards, it didnât stop her from being frightened. On the other hand, Xie Changan knew enough to control his strength as he approached his mother. Even so, Mu Mingtang took two steps back to steady herself when he hugged her.
Xie Changan embraced Mu Mingtangâs legs, raised his face and said coquettishly, âMother, youâre back.â
Xie Changanâs face was basically carved out of the same mould as Xie Xuanchenâs as even his tone of voice when he was acting coquettishly was exactly the same.
Somehow, this was both irritating and heartwarming.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mu Mingtang still had a dark expression on her face as she said, âWhat did I tell you before? I told you several times not to go climb to high places and you still did it anyways?â
Xie Changan pouted, continuing to grasp onto Mu Mingtangâs legs without letting go, âBut last time you said not to climb any walls and I really didnât climb them this time.â
Wow, even the way they quibbled was exactly the same. Mu Mingtang was so angry that he said to the nearest servant with a cold expression, âTake him to the Hanyuan Palace and have Xie Xuanchen deal with this; Iâm not capable enough to take care of his son.â
When Xie Changan heard that he was going to be sent to the Hanyuan Palace, he immediately became afraid. He grabbed Mu Mingtangâs skirt and rubbed it pathetically, âMother, I just wanted to see where you had gone. Once I woke up, I noticed that you had already disappeared.â
Xie Changan was not afraid of anything in his way. In fact, he was the nightmare of the palace servants, but his one sole fear was of Xie Xuanchen. Merely mentioning his fatherâs name would turn the little demon into an obedient boy.
Mu Mingtang couldnât stand Xie Xuanchenâs way of educating others, so it was natural that her son wouldnât like it either. In the end, Mu Mingang was the first one who yielded, âAlright, get up.â
REalising that there was hope for himself, Xie Changan stood up straight immediately.
Mu Mingtang asked with a cold glare, âDo you know where you went wrong?â
âI know now that Iâm no longer allowed to climb trees.â
Mu Mingtang had accumulated a rich experience of finding loopholes in her endless banters with Xie Xuanchen throughout the years. The moment she heard her sonâs reply, she added, âNot only are you not allowed to climb trees and walls, youâre not allowed to go to any high locations.â
