Chapter 65: Morning Practice

"The workshop matter, your great-uncle has come to me."

"As for this matter, don't interfere anymore; I'll take another route to expose it. For now, don't act, and don't offend the Cao family too much."

"\"Why? \" Jiang Yun Chu didn't understand; everyone had bullied her to the point of being on top, and she was supposed to just tolerate it?"

"The Cao family's influence is not in the court, but in the harem."

"The currently favored Noble Consort Cao is Cao Hai's sister."

"Some matters are not simply one or two; the entanglements involved are quite deep."

"Her maternal grandfather's words made Jiang Yun Chu break out in a cold sweat; she had previously been preparing……"

"When a family is established, there are all kinds of intertwined relationships winding around."

"If she underestimates the enemy, what awaits is a surging counterattack; can she withstand it?"

"\"The Cao family has already been gradually declining; recent events have also caused the Cao family to plummet, and now it's difficult to recover. \""

"\"During this period, it is indeed a good time for you to rest and recuperate. \""

"Kang Mengxian only said that much, then stopped speaking."

"\"Thank you, maternal grandfather. \" Jiang Yun Chu sincerely thanked him."

"She is not a fool; if her maternal grandfather didn't say so, she might really make a mistake. She always forgets that this era is different from the one she is accustomed to."

"In China, law decides everything."

"Here, power and influence decide everything."

"The Regent Prince's Manor's years of silence need revival."

"\"Haha! I have Yun chu, the younger generation, and that's enough. \""

"Kang Mengxian was genuinely happy; although they hadn't communicated much these days, in terms of conduct and character, Yun chu had already achieved perfection."

"He suddenly wanted to see just how far his granddaughter could go."

"\"Run! \" Jiang Yun Chu held a willow branch; among the six little radish heads in front, whoever slacked off would immediately get a strike on their buttocks."

"\"Ning Hanmo, haven't you eaten? \" Jiang Yun Chu instinctively shouted."

"Just……"

"\"Mother, I haven't eaten……\""

"Ning Hanmo felt wronged; as soon as it was mao hour, he was awakened by the knocking of the gong."

"Never mind eating; even now there's still eye gunk in the corner of his eye!"

"In order to have a uniform arrangement, Ning Hanmo also moved to live in the academy; the academy is a unified four-person room with bunk beds: the upper bunk is for sleeping, the lower bunk is a desk with a bookshelf, where one can usually review lessons."

"\"You haven't eaten today, didn't eat yesterday? Haven't eaten for the past few years? \" Jiang Yun Chu couldn't admit it was her fault; even if it were, in front of these little rascals, it would still be right."

"\"Hurry up. \""

"A few little rascals ran even faster; she looked at the panting Zi Wei and Nai Xin, and it was just a face of helplessness— the Eldest Miss who never steps out of the gate, truly……"

"\"Training is the simplest way, and also the way that most tempers one's will. \""

"Before she finished speaking, a cuju ball suddenly arrived at her feet; she directly shifted sideways and dodged the cuju's attack."

"Seeing her agile movements, Kang Wen widened his eyes."

"Another sneak attack failed……"

"But what awaited him……"

"\"Ah! Sister! Dear sister, I was wrong, don't hit me, it hurts. \" Kang Wen shouted loudly, although when he struck, he had already braced himself for what to endure."

"But this is too painful."

"Looking at it, it's just a soft willow branch; how can it hurt this much when it lashes the body?"

"\"Kang Wen, add two laps. \""

"\"However, your method is good; today if any of you let me hit you, I'll make you…… sweet and sour spare ribs! \""

"Jiang Yun Chu burst out laughing; her whole body lacked its usual steadiness, and at this moment she seemed to be truly herself."

"\"Sister, that's what you said! \""

"Kang Wen didn't dare to turn around; he had actually run two more laps than everyone else!"

"\"That's what I said! \""

"\"However, when you make a move, you'd better think it through clearly; otherwise the punishment will also be quite severe! \""

"Before her words had even faded, a small ball came flying from behind her; Jiang Yun Chu tapped the ground with her toes and directly dodged the ball."

"\"Mother, did you grow eyes on the back of your head? \" Ning Hanmo shouted angrily, although he had held back and not used that much force."

"But! She was still speaking while facing forward, yet there was an attack from behind— how did she know?"

"\"Whether or not I've grown eyes, I don't know, but……\""

"\"Ning Hanmo, add two laps. \""

"Then, as the willow branch swept past, Ning Hanmo directly turned, sidestepped a step, letting the willow branch swing at nothing."

"\"Hey? Not bad. \" Jiang Yun Chu became interested."

"These past few days, this is still the first time someone has dodged my willow branch!"

"\"Of course! Don't even look whose son I am! \""

"But……"

"Ning Hanmo hadn't finished showing off when the willow branch, as if it had grown eyes, directly lashed his buttocks."

"\"Ow! No attacking the buttocks. \" Ning Hanmo's speed instantly doubled, for fear that if he delayed a bit, he'd get hit by the willow branch again."

"Just……"

"This guy ran while shouting."

"\"Brothers and sisters, do you want sweet and sour spare ribs? \""

Want to eat! Want to eat!

Want to eat! Want to eat!

This unanimous answer—no need to think—you know it's Kang Wen and Kang Wu shouting; they didn't even glance, just shouted it out. If you claimed the twins had no telepathy, who would believe it?

Want…… want to eat.

Hey, I'm not saying all that—Kang Ziwei has been lagging behind the whole time.

Even Kang Nai Xin is a bit faster than her; over the years she's basically never left her house—the most exercise she gets is going to banquets and such.

Now she's shouting she wants to eat, but her face is utterly hopeless.

Kang Nai Xin is a bit timid; she only sneaked a glance at Jiang Yun Chu, and upon seeing his gaze, she immediately turned away, putting on an act like "I'm just running, I'm not colluding with them."

Jiang Yun Chu was amused by her little expression.

But the cutest of all is none other than little Ning Yue Xue.

The little somehow grabbed two small willow twigs in his hand, then ran far behind; the little bell on his hair tie jingled, and anyone who lapped over him would get a twig from her—though it had little strength, not even as much as a tickle.

But……

"Yue Yue, you traitor!" Ning Hanmo said, vexed that iron won't become steel.

Yue Yue's big eyes rolled around, then she loudly shouted, "Eat!"

Ning Hanmo couldn't hold back; the corners of his mouth began to turn up.

Eat!

This little glutton!

"Then we'll attack together so she can't run; little master, I won't believe it today—we won't get to eat sweet and sour spare ribs." Ning Hanmo shouted.

Over these days of getting along, on the first day when everyone was running, it was worse than death; now we can run and talk at the same time—gotta say, the progress is huge.

"Take this!" Kang Wen shouted, and a cuju flew over just like that.

"Brother, are you stupid, ambushing?" Kang Wu looked at his brother, somewhat helpless.

They are both sons of the same father and mother, born from the same womb—how can the difference be so great?
