Chapter 1895: Old Stories Dug Up

Ever since seeing the child, Zihan felt a gut-wrenching agony if he couldn't see the child for even a single day.

This couldn't go on; he had to think of a once-and-for-all solution.

The brothers were gathered together to brainstorm for him; after all, there is strength in numbers.

Zichen said, "When I was little, I heard Sister say that back in the day, to pursue Mom, Dad went to Country L to work as a servant and dressed up as a woman..."

"What?"

"What? That's impossible, right? Our dad has such a glorious history?"

Zirui and Zihan both widened their eyes in shock; it was their first time hearing that their father had such "great achievements."

In the hearts of the brothers, their father was a towering, upright man; it was absolutely impossible for him to have done such a thing. Moreover, from childhood to adulthood, they hadn't even heard a whisper of their father being a cross-dressing master.

After the shock, the two brothers began to blame their eldest brother.

"You're really not a good sport; why didn't you tell us about something like this sooner?"

"Exactly, and we're own brothers too; we should share the jokes together..."

Zichen actually couldn't be certain either; after all, it was something he had heard when he was young, and too much time had passed to confirm if it was true.

So he said, "Should we bring Sister over to verify it?"

"Sure."

"Sure it's fine, but wouldn't it be too much trouble for Sister?"

Zirui was a bit hesitant; after all, their sister was currently managing a thousand things, dealing with both children and work, and was very busy every day.

Zihan said, "Which one of you isn't busy? You're all busy, yet I still got you out here; it won't hurt to add our sister. Once I successfully win Yuanyuan back, I'll make up for what I owe you, how about that?"

Fine, so it was decided.

Shi Ran received her brother's call and immediately arrived at the location where the brothers were gathered.

As soon as she arrived, she complained that they didn't treat her like family, keeping everything from her.

They didn't even tell her about something as big as Zihan having a child!

Zihan said with a cheeky grin, "I'm telling you now, aren't I? Stop complaining and tell me quickly, did our dad really dress as a woman to pursue Mom back then? Does this method work well?"

Shi Ran had a complex expression; she immediately stopped her nagging and asked, "Who did you hear that from?"

Zihan and Zirui pointed at Zichen at the same time: "Eldest Brother said so."

"Eldest Brother said it was from when you told us about it when we were little."

Shi Ran said, "That's right, it's a fact. I can tell you three the detailed process, but you must keep it a secret; you absolutely cannot let Dad know. I promised before that I would never tell."

"I promise."

"I promise."

"Tell us, tell us quickly."

The two brothers were already impatient.

A cross-dressing master.

These words shouldn't be associated with their cold, iceberg-like father no matter how you put it.

Now the three brothers were incredibly curious; their desire for gossip was stronger than anything else.

Although many years had passed, Shi Ran had a good memory, and the events of that year were still vivid in her mind.

Shi Ran told the story very seriously, and the three brothers listened even more seriously!

When they heard that their father had dressed up as Alisha to save their sister, and that their mother wanted to become sworn sisters with him, the three brothers couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed until their stomachs hurt.

Oh my, who would have thought their parents had such a glorious history? It was just too funny.

Zihan was also full of confidence for the future; if even someone like his father could fight like that for love, what did he have to fear?

In the afternoon.

Shi Youxuan discovered that the four siblings had actually returned together.

"Oh, how did you all end up together?"

"We ran into each other."

"Right, we just happened to meet."

That was what they said, but Shi Youxuan clearly felt that all four of them were acting strange.

When they spoke, their eyes wandered, as if they were looking for someone.

"What are you all doing, acting so sneaky?"

"Where's Dad?"

"Where's Dad?"

"Is Dad not home?"

"Where is Dad?"

Although they asked differently, it all amounted to the same thing.

Shi Youxuan felt it was strange; what was wrong with the children today?

Coming back to look for their dad was strange; it didn't happen often.

"In the Study."

Hearing that their father was in the Study, the three brothers were about to head there, but Shi Ran blocked them: "Don't go too far, don't forget what you promised me."

Stopped by their sister and unable to go over, the three brothers pestered their mother instead, asking her to tell them a story.

They specifically pointed out that they wanted to hear stories about their sister when she was little.

"What's wrong with you all today? You're acting so weird."

Shi Youxuan didn't tell them and instead broke them up one by one.

She told Zichen to go accompany Li Xueer for a stroll; they were still newlyweds, and a husband who left his new wife at home alone every day while he was busy outside was not a qualified husband.

Shi Youxuan even suggested that Zichen should take Li Xueer out for a honeymoon, saying it would be very helpful for cultivating their relationship as a married couple, and that he shouldn't spend all day hanging out with his brothers—two bachelors, what was the point of being with them?

Sheng Zirui:...

Sheng Zihan:...

The brothers' expressions were very hurt.

Their mother was being too much; they were both people of status and reputation outside, so she should at least leave them some face.

But their mother clearly had no such awareness; no matter how capable they were outside, or how they could summon wind and rain, once they returned home, they were still her sons, and she would roast them however she pleased.

Zichen was "driven back" to his room.

Li Xueer was taking a nap in the room and woke up the moment someone entered; seeing it was Zichen who had returned, she asked curiously, "Why are you back so early today?"

"Zihan had something he wanted to discuss with us, so I came back."

"What would you like to eat? I'll go to the kitchen and prepare a meal."

Li Xueer was just about to leave, but her arm was grabbed by Zichen: "You don't need to go; there are kitchen maids for kitchen work, you don't have to."

Li Xueer made a bitter face: "Mom says the same thing—I don't need to do this, I don't need to do that—but I'm very bored doing nothing, and I don't like shopping or anything like that."

Cooking was her only hobby, and now that this hobby had been taken away, she truly didn't know what to do with herself.

Seeing her expression, a bit of guilt welled up in Zichen's heart; he remembered his mother's words and said to her, "Other people go on honeymoons when they get married; if you want to go, I can accompany you."

He thought Li Xueer would happily agree, or even jump for joy.

But she did not.

She shook her head: "No, it's quite good at home; I don't want to go out and play, but if you have time, could you teach me how to make a few dishes?"

Li Xueer's big eyes sparkled; she was not interested in going on a honeymoon, nor did she feel that Zichen was neglecting her.

She only wanted to learn a few more dishes, which coincided perfectly with Zichen's thoughts.

"Alright, no need to wait for another day, I'll teach you right now."

"Really? That's great, I'll go out and buy groceries."

Li Xueer excitedly prepared to change her clothes to go buy groceries; the highest level of cooking often required the freshest ingredients, as that was the only way to make the best dishes.

"I'll go with you," Zichen blurted out.

"Okay."

The two of them changed their clothes, went downstairs together, and prepared to go out to buy groceries.

Since they were going to prepare a sumptuous dinner for everyone together that evening, naturally, no one had any reason to disagree.
