Instantly, Gu Beichen's pig-like scream echoed throughout the entire room: "Ah! Ling Mohan, you bastard… I'm not done with you!"
His entire back felt like it was burning, yet he could only endure it, unable to move even an inch.
"Young Master, please don't move recklessly, don't tear open the wound again!"
"Young Master, don't move!"
The young servant at this moment was very observant, holding Gu Beichen down firmly, preventing him from moving in the slightest.
Ling Mohan, who had walked out the door, heard Gu Beichen's screams and felt a sense of revenge fulfilled. His mood instantly improved, and with a rare smile on his lips, he strode away.
…
"Go… go… find Mother." Da Bao tugged at Er Bao's sleeve and pulled him hard.
Er Bao, however, firmly gripped the bed frame behind him, refusing to let go no matter what. The two were locked in a tug-of-war.
Finally, Da Bao lost his patience, releasing his grip on Er Bao's sleeve. After a moment, he walked opposite Er Bao, and the two stared at each other face-to-face.
"Are you going or not!" Da Bao shouted with all his might.
Er Bao directly and decisively shook his head without any thought. Mother was definitely angry right now, and he didn't want to go. If he went, he definitely wouldn't get anything good.
"Listen to your brother, let's go…"
Er Bao continued to ignore Da Bao's words, merely shaking his head silently.
The two children immediately fell into a stalemate. After a long while, Da Bao's patience finally couldn't compare to Er Bao's, and he had to give up.
"You're not going… I'm going…"
Da Bao threw down this sentence with great swagger and turned to walk out, his gaze not lingering for a moment.
After the door closed, Er Bao put down the wooden doll in his hand and looked out. He really went alone. He probably would be brought back by Mother in no time.
As Er Bao expected, less than half an hour after he left, the closed door was once again opened from the outside, and Feng Jin walked in with an unfriendly expression, carrying the returned Da Bao in her arms.
"You two behave and sleep, no more messing around!"
Feng Jin put Da Bao down. She was still angry and worried about her temper affecting the two children. She simply gave a few brief instructions and turned to leave.
She didn't forget to call Cai Qing to accompany the two little ones.
Er Bao looked at the returned Da Bao, a hint of a mocking smile flashing across his lips. He didn't listen to advice and suffered the consequences.
"Stinky brother… you did that on purpose!" Da Bao finally realized why Er Bao refused to go. He must have guessed this would happen and still tricked him into going. He was too wicked.
"You wanted to go!"
Er Bao retorted unceremoniously. It was he who insisted on going himself, and he was the one who forced him.
The two little fellows, neither giving way to the other, continued to glare at each other.
It wasn't until Cai Qing came in that she saw toys scattered all over the floor and the two little ones wrestling together. She hurried forward and pulled them apart.
"Stop fighting, what happened…" Cai Qing separated Da Bao and Er Bao, shielding one with each hand, afraid they would start fighting again.
"Why is your face broken… and your clothes are torn too…"
Cai Qing looked at the two children covered in scars. It was the first time she had seen two children fight so fiercely.
Da Bao had a small cut on his face, Er Bao's sleeve was torn, and their hair was sticking up with grass, looking like nests.
"Sister… waaa… waaa… Brother hit… Brother hit me… waaa…"
As soon as Da Bao saw someone arrive, he immediately started complaining, showing his weaker side. He didn't forget to point to the small cut on his face to express his grievance.
Er Bao, on the other hand, had a calm expression, his eyes filled with disdain. He wiped the dust off his small face, got up from the ground, and sat back on the bed, continuing to play with his toys.
"Okay… okay, stop crying for now…" Cai Qing helplessly could only try to coax Da Bao first. After this long, she had a good grasp of Da Bao's tactics. This was probably him deliberately crying pitifully again.
When two children fight, it's definitely not one person's fault. As for who started it, she didn't know. She couldn't afford to offend either of these young masters, so she could only silently coax them both.
Er Bao was easier to handle, especially Da Bao, who was very clingy and insisted on being held without letting go. In a short while, he was also coaxed to sleep.
When Cai Qing put Da Bao back on the bed, she found that Er Bao had already fallen asleep alone. Looking at his small appearance, he seemed a bit pitiful.
After placing Da Bao in her arms, Cai Qing carefully tucked Er Bao in.
Er Bao was truly sensible, so sensible that it made one's heart ache. People would also unconsciously overlook Er Bao's existence. Perhaps this was the meaning of "the squeaky wheel gets the grease"…
Cai Qing didn't dare to leave. She bent down by the bed and accompanied the two little ones as they slept.
…
"Young Madam, your maid just checked. The young masters have fallen asleep. Young Madam, you should drink a bowl of calming tea and rest."
"Put it there. I'll drink it later." Feng Jin said weakly, supporting her cheeks with her hands, her eyes vacant, clearly not focused on the present.
"Young Madam, the Young General just now…"
"Don't mention him to me. I don't want to hear anything about him…"
Upon hearing that it was about Ling Mohan, Feng Jin instinctively shouted loudly. She had finally felt a bit better, and hearing about Ling Mohan would only make her angrier.
"If Young Madam doesn't want to hear it, then your maid won't say it."
Chu Qing quickly shut her mouth and then thought of something else to tell Feng Jin: "Young Madam, this servant heard that the Prince of Zhennan beat up Young Master Gu severely and even used the family law. It seemed to be quite serious. He's still lying in bed and can't get up."
Upon hearing this, Feng Jin's interest was immediately piqued, and a light flickered in her eyes.
"He deserves to be beaten. Who told him to have such a foul mouth and always try to stir up trouble between families? Being beaten is good for him to learn his lesson, to see if he dares to speak so rudely again!"
Feng Jin felt that Gu Beichen being beaten was simply a deserved punishment, and she only regretted that he wasn't beaten harder. He should have been severely beaten until he was only half-dead, as long as he could still be saved.
