Chapter 108: She Is Very Suspicious!

~9 min read 1,610 words

"Perfect timing — early this morning the sheep farm sent over a sheep."

Yi Jiang tugged Yu'an toward the room, her little mouth chattering nonstop, bouncing along like a cheerful little bird.

"The roasted lamb leg our kitchen makes is delicious. You have to eat plenty of it today."

"And the snacks Father sent people out of town to buy ahead of time just arrived too. Let's go try them."

Watching her gleeful little companion, Yu'an silently shook her head and sighed, her delicate little brows knit tight, her baby-plump cheeks wearing a melancholy that didn't suit her at all.

Sigh, keeping a secret in your heart really doesn't feel good — all clogged up.

Seeing the little one's conflicted little expression, An Luo couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Pfft!"

She scraped a fingertip across the little one's soft, tender cheek.

As her finger slid across, the little one on the screen gave a little quiver at the cheek, making her especially miss Zaituan's plump little face.

The big fellow pressed her lips together, her big body held very tight, her little eyes sweeping around like a radar, on full alert.

"That outfit is really ugly."

"Ahem!"

That milky little voice struck An Luo a critical blow, instantly draining half her HP.

Although she understood why, the immortal-handsome Elder Sister had also come to make her ugly.

Yi Jiang swept one hand across the screen to check the room, while the other hand casually curled into a fist.

"Ugly? What secret? If you tell anyone else."

"It's used. You suddenly remembered that outside the Horse Carriage you brought a change of clothes, so you asked Uncle An Luo to fetch them."

So at that meal, everyone ate to their heart's content with great relish — only one narrow-minded Cheng Feng didn't.

Yu'an nodded heavily, and thinking of what she'd just heard from Fat Tiger, she spoke in a flustered, jumbled way.

Hearing that, Yu'an tilted her little head and thought for a moment, then nodded.

Yang Li unfolded the letter and shook it out toward Yu'an.

But Yu'an, worried about her little companion and carrying something in her heart, ate absent-mindedly too.

Cheng Feng set her face sternly, glaring huffily at the maid.

The manservant glanced at the maid still kneeling on the ground, shedding tears.

Fat Tiger also said that man often kicked it and threw stones at it.

The group passed through the long corridor, and as they turned a corner, a maid carrying a basin of water came toward them.

Why don't I remember?

Looking down, she met Yu'an's clear little eyes.

A secret?

The Yi Jiang on the screen gently patted the table.

Having said that, she turned her head and instructed the manservant.

The big fellow stared with her shiny black little eyes, warily watching the room around her, her little hand slipping into her sleeve and pulling out a Protective Talisman that now lay in her palm.

And Yu'an, who had just reached the room's doorway, gave a little shiver and halted her small steps.

Yu'an pressed her little mouth together and tugged at her damp hem.

"This servant truly did not do it on purpose — I don't know how it happened, my leg suddenly cramped."

Yang Li Yong, finding it very funny, squatted down, offered his own ear in cooperation, and went along with her words.

"Ha—choo!"

"But what is this person's purpose in doing all that?"

"Ugly!"

"It seems those two incidents were no coincidence."

After the meal, Chen Delin was just about to go find his son for a talk when he was suddenly tugged by the hem of his clothes by a gentle, soft force.

She rubbed her nose.

"Oh right, Father had the tailor make you new clothes a few days ago, and I had them make one exactly the same for him too. I'll take him to try it on and see if he likes it."

Hearing this, the little fellow's face turned even more like a red apple, her little eyes blinking shyly as she lowered her little head bashfully.

The manservant hauled the maid up from the ground and ran inside.

And Yang Li, who had just finished checking the room around her, heard those words and was completely baffled.

Although An Luo and Gu Shang reacted in time, shielding Yu'an and Cheng Feng as they stepped back a few paces, quite a bit of water still splashed onto the two little ones.

As for Cheng Qiuluo, she naturally also noticed something off about the Chen Family father and son.

Chen Delin widened his eyes in disbelief.

"So I wasn't wrong — someone really is playing tricks!"

"Thank you, Big Brother."

"I'm so thirsty."

In the end, it was still our family's Zaituan who bore it all.

While drinking water, Yu'an quietly lowered one hand; the little hand holding the cup trembled, wobbling unsteadily, and before it reached her mouth, the cup slipped from her grasp and all the water inside spilled out.

"Look — ugly, isn't it?"

The maid calmly knelt on the ground to admit her fault.

"I discovered that someone in the City Lord's Manor wants to harm Cheng Feng!"

Did you bring the clothes?

Somehow, that maid's right leg suddenly buckled, her balance faltered, she staggered, and a full basin of water splashed toward the two little ones.

"You two go back to your room slowly, wet clothes are too cold."

The weather is too hot, wearing wet clothes will make you sick.

Yu'an obediently grinned widely and nodded.

"Why is that being so careless?!"

But on second thought, bad it is, I was overthinking it.

"Yu'an, Elder Sister thinks it's too right, you are wearing this outfit."

"Can he first lend you a set of clothes to change into?"

And Chen Delin, who knew his own son best, saw that scene and worriedly lost his appetite.

Yang Li's gaze sharpened, and he slowly followed behind the two little fellows.

Before putting on the Protective Talisman, he ran to Cheng Feng's side and sat down close to me.

Speaking of that, Cheng Feng's eyes lit up.

Yu'an cupped his big hand beside his mouth and said loudly.

"Eldest Young Master, the clothes are here!"

Cheng Feng hurried over, and although he felt it was a pity, he still comforted me.

A page boy and a servant each carried a Tray.

"This is bad, you go change clothes first, it's really too cold."

"Grandpa Chen, Yu'an will tell you a secret."

"No... not this, Uncle Chen brought back a man."

Yi Jiang on the screen pressed his lips hard to hold back laughter, afraid of making a sound and disturbing Zaituan's acting.

I disgustedly touched my wet chest.

Yu'an held a cup of water and leaned over to the new clothes.

"This?"

"Oh no! Water spilled on the new clothes!"

Ahhhh, Zaituan is so cute!

I will definitely protect bad Yang Li!

Yu'an hurriedly shook his head.

"There's something, there's something, let us fetch another one."

Looking at the bean in my hand, Gu Shang fell into deep thought.

Secretly thinking in his heart, he would go back and tell Grandmother about this matter.

"Yu'an be careful, first take out a Protective Talisman and wear it."

Yi Jiang frowned and rubbed his eyes.

【Yu'an also really likes Fairy Sister.】

Cheng Feng was about to nod, when he suddenly wrinkled his nose.

After the two little fellows changed into their clothes, it was also time for lunch.

"Forget it, Cheng Feng."

For some reason, looking at this outfit, Yi Jiang felt an inexplicable unease in his heart.

"Be careful or I'll have Steward Zhao punish you!"

Cheng Feng impatiently waved his hand.

"You're very not wrong!"

Were your eyes playing tricks just now?

"Yes yes yes."

The little fellow frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly his little eyes lit up.

【Mm, Yu'an knows now!】

Suddenly, Yang Li sneezed.

At the dining table, there were only eight generations of the Chen Family, plus Cheng Qiuluo and Yu'an.

"Quickly go find the new clothes!"

After a meal, although Chen Ying had a smile on his face, on closer look, the smile did not reach his eyes.

Even if I carried the whole box over, what I can take out still depends on what the big master says, right?

Before the two little fellows left, An Luo bent down and picked up a bean from the ground, her expression grave as she showed it to Gu Shang.

But, how can I both not wear this outfit and not make Yang Li sad?

Got it!

"Is something the matter, Yu'an?"

"Whatever the purpose is, you can't let the two of us out of your sight!"

It seems like something flew at the servant's knee pit, that's why he couldn't stand steady?

"Eldest Young Master forgive me, Prince's Son forgive me."

【Fairy Sister, what's good to eat?】

【Why does Fairy Sister want to laugh at Yu'an?】

"Walk slowly, walk slowly, Eldest Young Master's bad mood has all been cried away by him!"

The little fellow widened his grape-like little eyes and opened his small big mouth to let out an exclamation.

The page boy heard my words and hurriedly helped me pour a cup of warm water.

Yu'an silently clenched her fist to cheer herself on.

"What is he doing?!"

Hearing her laughter, Yu'an's little face flushed bright red in an instant.

"What?!"

Big fellow glanced around seven places, then pulled me to a corner, and beckoned me over with a mysterious look.

【Bad!】

"Elder Sister just thinks Yu'an is very cute, and really likes her."
