Chapter 1527 The Final Battle, A Different Kind of Reunion Dinner
"Hahaha," Madam Sun laughed loudly, "You little girl, you have the air of a general at such a young age. You dare to spy on the prince and princess's private conversations, and you even dare to openly mock them. You think you're better than the prince. You, you..."
The young girl, Jiang Xiaozhu, was quite polite and asked somewhat nervously, "Madam Sun, is this a bit impolite of me?"
She bowed respectfully towards the Prince of Ye and his wife, saying, "I'm sorry, Uncle Guan and Aunt, it was my fault. I apologize."
Hahaha, Madam Sun almost died laughing: "Yes, yes, I apologized, but I feel it was even more disrespectful. However, I like children like you, so lively, with your own thoughts, and you seem like a real person, not a puppet."
Madam Sun really liked Jiang Xiaozhu and planned to raise her if she survived.
"Waaah!" Da Bao'er was awakened by their voices and let out a dissatisfied cry, but she stopped crying after one cry, nestled in her swaddling clothes, her big eyes wide open, and continued to listen to the world.
Qin Xiaomi and Madam Guan stood a few meters away, having a small gathering with them. Qin Xiaomi asked Jiang Xiaozhu again, "What did my aunt say to my uncle? Repeat it again."
"Yes, sister!" Jiang Xiaozhu, like a soldier, moved two meters closer to Qin Xiaomi and the others, and repeated the conversation between the couple.
After hearing this, Qin Xiaomi's face turned slightly pale, as if she had a fishbone stuck in her throat. She glanced at Qin Xiaogu and her husband, her expression becoming increasingly disgusted.
The Prince and Princess Ye, who were walking hand in hand towards this place, wanting to see Da Bao'er, were speechless.
The Prince of Ye paused, and said in a low voice, "The cricket has been pecking at me more than once, and more than one person knows about it. Even my eldest niece is disgusted with me. Look at the look in her eyes; her disgust is practically tangible."
Aunt Qin nodded: "Yes, it's obvious that she dislikes me, but it seems like Xiaomi is disliking me."
“Aunt, Uncle, come here!” Qin Xiaomi waved to them.
The Prince of Ye and his wife felt a chill run down their spines, as if they were about to be severely scolded by the younger generation.
Hey, I guessed right.
After they arrived near Qin Xiaomi and paid their respects to Madam Guan and Madam Sun who was not far away, Qin Xiaomi said, "Aunt and Uncle, after hearing Xiaozhu's retelling, I have something unfilial to say, but I don't know if I should say it?"
I certainly shouldn't say things that are unfilial, but since you've asked, I'm sure I have to say them. Why are you asking?
Madam Guan laughed out loud while watching the show, and then made the decision for them: "We're in such a desperate situation, what can't we say? Xiao Mi, go ahead and say it. Your grandfather Guan will let you speak, and no one can say you're disrespecting your elders."
“Alright, then I’ll speak… Uncle, please step aside.” Qin Xiaomi walked towards Qin Xiaogu, pressed her shoulder, and shook her: “Aunt, Aunt, is being chaste, loving your wife, being filial to your in-laws, and protecting your juniors what makes a saint? These are just the ‘duties’ that every woman must do. If this is what makes a saint, then every woman is a saint!”
what?
Everyone was stunned by these words, but upon closer reflection, Qin Xiaomi was right... Being faithful to one's husband, raising children, being filial to one's parents-in-law, and loving one's younger siblings are things that almost every woman does.
If even one thing is not done well, the person will be dismissed at best, and drowned in a pig cage at worst.
Let's look at the King of Ye...
Everyone present, young and old, stared in disbelief: "A saint? You dare to call yourself one!"
They all looked at Qin Xiaogu: "Sigh, you really love your husband too much, you even praised him as a 'sage'."
The Prince of Ye and his wife: "..."
My face was burning hot; I wanted to disappear into the ground.
Fortunately, the two of them have a wonderful baby...
"Wah!" Da Bao'er got a little anxious when she saw the sudden silence around her. She made a "woof" sound to signal them to keep talking, saying she wanted to hear some noise.
"Haha, Da Bao'er misses his father." Old Madam Guan spoke up at the right time, ending this 'somewhat rebellious' topic.
The Prince of Ye and his wife laughed as well. The Prince of Ye looked towards Da Bao'er, wanting to hug the child, but he didn't let the matter rest. Instead, he said to Qin Xiaomi, "Everyone has shortcomings, so there is always something to learn from others. Da Bao'er's cousin is right, Uncle will remember that."
but……
He raised his hand and pointed at Jiang Xiaozhu, Xiaomai, Xiaofubao, and Xiaojingyi: "You all need to apologize. As juniors, you shouldn't eavesdrop on your elders' conversations, let alone gossip about them behind their backs. Hmm, I'll punish you by making you copy the Thousand Character Classic once. Hand it in after the family reunion dinner tomorrow, and I'll review it myself."
Ah, no!
The little ones almost cried.
Little Fu Bao cried: "Waaah, Uncle Guan, can we not copy it? There are so many words, and we have our reunion dinner tomorrow. Can't we just have a proper reunion dinner? Please!"
Jiang Xiaozhu, true to her word, bowed and said, "Yes, we juniors obey."
He then said to his accomplices, "We should be upright and responsible. Since we've watched the spectacle, we have to bear the consequences. Are the consequences serious? No, we can handle them. So, copying is just copying a thousand-word essay. We can finish it in an hour!"
Little Fu Bao, who still does the splits while writing, burst into tears ┭┮﹏┭┮: But sister, there are so many characters in the Thousand Character Classic that I don't even recognize!
Xiao Jingyi patted his head and comforted him: "Don't worry, we'll write half of the character for you, and you can fill in the other half. That way you can finish quickly, and it won't be considered cheating."
???
No, what kind of thinking do kids have? I can't understand it.
"Waaah!" Da Bao cried out again, flailing his arms and legs, startling Madam Sun.
“This kid is really strong. If I hadn’t been practicing martial arts all this time, I really wouldn’t have been able to hold him.” Madam Sun looked at Qin Xiaogu and her husband: “You two just stand here and look at Da Bao’er. After you’re done with your work and have washed up, you can hold Da Bao’er tomorrow.”
Prince Ye, Madam Guan, and the Qin family all rushed to Wu Garden upon hearing the news. They hadn't washed up or taken any precautions against the plague, as Madam Sun still didn't want them to come into contact with Da Bao'er.
What if?
Because of this "just in case" situation, the elderly and parents will always foolishly persist.
"Yes, we'll listen to you, madam." Ye Wang and Qin Xiaogu said, and together they bowed solemnly to Madam Sun: "Thank you, madam. We, your husband and I, will never forget your kindness, even after many lifetimes."
"Hahaha, you two are truly a perfect couple, so conflicted. If we're talking about favors, it's me who owes your grandmother." After saying this, Madam Sun called to the female assassins and maids, "Come on, lift Da Bao up and let him play with the Prince of Ye and his wife for a while."
How do I play?
Da Bao'er was puzzled, but he was being held high up like an exhibit, being shown here and there.
"Ah-guh ah-guh!" Da Bao'er was quite happy, calling out and flapping her arms and legs, making "ah-ah" sounds again, her eyes glancing towards Jiang Xiaozhu, wanting to play with the little girl and the little boy, not with the adults, because there was nothing interesting to see with the two adults.
The Prince of Ye paused for a moment, his eyes sparkling with curiosity, and asked Qin Xiaogu, "Wife, does our little darling not like us?"
Aunt Qin: "It seems so..."
"Da Bao'er is so clever. He's so young but already shows signs of what many older babies do. He truly deserves to be our first child." The new father, Prince Ye, was very excited. Even though Da Bao'er disliked him, he still thought Da Bao'er was wonderful in every way.
"Report! Prince Ye, the Qi envoy, Lord Yan, and General Chu are summoning you. We must proceed to a meeting immediately!"
"Report! Master Qin is looking for someone in Mushan. Return to Mushan immediately!"
It was already dark, but we still had to go to work.
"Sister Xiaomi, are you having the reunion dinner with us tomorrow?!" Jiang Xiaozhu asked anxiously, her eyes reddening as she tried to cry, but she held back.
