Chapter 50: It just bit my butt!

Jiang Yun Chu looked at him and rubbed his head.

"You're also a child, worrying all day—do I look angry?"

"Fine."

Hearing her say that, he let his heart settle; after all, the courtyard was locked, and he thought Jiang Yun Chu was really angry.

Now it's not certain who's angry.

Men's Courtyard.

"Brother, I'm hungry." Kang Wu held his stomach, thinking of tonight's meal, his saliva almost dripping out.

Lying on the bed, the boards were hard and small; without the railings, he'd fear falling off.

Hearing his stomach growl, Kang Wen suddenly sat up: "Let's sneak out."

Kang Wu looked at his brother: "Outside there are so many people—where would we run to?"

Moreover, their parents had dumped them at the Academy, with no intention of letting them go back.

"Now it's dark, those people are tired too; let's sleep a bit, then when the guards loosen up, we'll run." Kang Wen said, and the more he spoke, the more feasible it seemed.

As long as we run back, seeing Grandma will make us cry.

Grandma definitely won't let them come back to suffer again.

Grandma dotes on these children the most.

"Good." Kang Wu, hearing that, also thought it feasible.

They were twins, naturally sharing thoughts, and both had made up their minds.

Clouds covered the moon, the light faded, and the road ahead became indistinct.

"Here." Kang Wen looked at the surrounding high walls; given their height, even if they climbed up and jumped down, they'd end up crippled.

"Brother, I know a place—come with me."

Kang Wu led Kang Wen, bypassing the guards, straight to a dog hole entrance.

This…

A dog hole!

"How can we crawl into a dog hole!" Kang Wen looked at his brother, feeling a bit frustrated.

Kang Wu spread his hands: "What can you do? The wall's so high—who could climb it?"

"The gate has guards; we can't even think of opening it—just walking past got us seized."

"I think this is a way."

Kang Wen stared at the dog hole ahead, gritted his teeth, and said, "Dig!"

What's a dog hole? Dig it, and who knows?

Anyway, as brothers, neither would tell.

"Princess Consort, you truly have foresight." Bai Zhi's eyes sparkled; since the West Village racetrack began, every time she saw the Princess Consort, she wore an admiring look.

Zi Su let out a yawn; before, she didn't understand why the Princess Consort stayed awake, waiting for what?

Now seeing Bai Zhi's expression, she was waiting for news.

"Hmm… which step?" Jiang Yun Chu sipped cool tea, suppressed her irritation, lifted her head from the book, and said lightly.

Her whole demeanor carried a hint of laziness.

She often performed missions; not to mention staying up all night, even five days without sleep she had endured.

Now her biological clock set in; whenever the time came, she felt a bit drowsy.

"When I arrived, they had already decided to crawl the dog hole." Bai Zhi laughed heartily.

"Oh? Who suggested it?" Now she felt a bit interested.

Bai Zhi had been on their roof all day; in summer the room held mosquito-repelling herbs, and the window was open for coolness.

The two didn't realize that their discussion—whether Bai Zhi sleeping on the roof or the guards outside—was heard…

Their duty was simply to stay still!

"I can't tell them apart, but it's just two people—one child said he was hungry, the other said he wanted to run away."

"Later the two ran out, but the child who proposed running hadn't planned the route; the hungry child simply led them to the dog hole."

Actually, there were some surprises.

Even felt that these two children weren't without merit.

These two children were so alike—in height, build, and appearance—they were identical.

But the two children had different personalities.

Kang Wen was a bit more lively, while Kang Wu was a bit calmer.

Whenever she saw the two, she could tell them apart for this reason.

It seemed the one who proposed running was Kang Wen, but the one who planned the route was Kang Wu.

Even the two brothers never imagined that in just a day, Jiang Yun Chu had figured out their temperaments.

"Should we still let them run?" Bai Zhi asked.

Jiang Yun Chu nodded, her plump finger tapping her chin: "Mm, let them run."

"In a quarter hour, the manor's guards will move; if they can't find the way, we'll steer them onto the correct path."

"Huh? Aren't we supposed to catch them?"

"Why do we need to guide them?" Bai Zhi expressed her confusion.

Even the clever Zi Su didn't quite get it now.

Just catch them back—wouldn't that suffice?

"Hey, when does a person keep a fresh memory?" Jiang Yun Chu chuckled and set down the cloak Zi Su had draped over her.

"I know." Zi Su's eyes lit up. Seeing Bai Zhi's anxious expression, she smiled lightly and explained, "Only one step away from success, when it suddenly failed— isn't that enough to be unforgettable?"

Cold……

Bai Zhi said, being with these smart people, the pressure is really too great!

She belongs in the mountains; I really want to go to the mountains.

Jiang Yun Chu smiled and asked, "Understood?"

Understood!

Now she still doesn't get it?

She immediately left Rhyme Courtyard and made arrangements with the guards; in fact, someone has always been following the two children, recording everything they say and do in their files……

And this adolescent delusional past will also be recorded in their files for life.

Years later, Kang Wen and Kang Wu saw the record on the file and regretted not acting earlier!

"Brother, this way."

Previously, Kang Wen had been directing Kang Wu, but when it came to terrain, Kang Wu clearly had the edge.

Bai Zhi watched them, watching the two little guys; sometimes they squatted in the garden, sometimes they hid behind a big tree, and even when they took a detour, a patroller happened to be there, so they could only hide in the chicken coop.

These chickens were originally meant to be boiled for soup tomorrow.

"Shh." Kang Wu spoke.

But……

"Ow!" Kang Wen shouted from the side.

Kang Wu quickly covered his mouth, "Brother, keep it down— do you want to be caught and taken back?"

Kang Wen knocked his hand away, looking dejected……

"It just bit my butt!" Kang Wen complained, face full of grievance.

At that very moment, the chicken that had just bitten Kang Wen's butt pecked Kang Wu's back……

Kang Wu gritted his teeth; such a young boy, yet he knows how to endure.

Jiang Yun Chu rushed over, sitting on the eaves not far away, holding a pot of peach blossom wine brewed by the kitchen maid herself; seeing she liked to drink, he sent it all to Rhyme Courtyard.

However, Jiang Yun Chu would naturally not shortchange his own people.

"Brother, does it hurt? If it hurts, call out." Kang Wen protected his brother in his arms, so the chicken couldn't peck the brother.

But……
