Li Yu thought to herself that it was no wonder this brat stood at the door and didn’t come in.
She smiled and lowered her head to kiss him. She tapped his nose and said with a smile, “Yes, my son is so smart. You’re my big baby. How can I not like you?
With Yueyue and Xingxing, you’re also my baby.”
Yangyang looked at Li Yu proudly and touched Yueyue and Xingxing. “Mother, the nicknames I gave my younger brothers are nice, right?”
Li Yu smiled and gave him a thumbs-up. “They sound good. My son is really capable. ”
BoxNovel.comZhou Jia entered the house and saw Yangyang snuggling in Li Yu’s arms. He smiled and said, “You’re already so old, yet you still want to wheedle. Aren’t you embarrassed!”
Yangyang blushed. “Father, I’m a child. You’re the one who has to be embarrassed. You cried yesterday.”
It was Zhou Jia’s turn to blush. “Little baddie, hurry up and do your homework. Little Loach and the others are still waiting for you to teach!”
“Oh! I understand.” Yangyang got out of bed and went to the outer room to bring the milling drink to Li Yu. “Mother, Uncle gave me the milling drink. I’ll help you with it.”
Li Yu took the box and touched him with a smile. “Thank you, big baby.”
The couple watched their son carry his bag and leave. Li Yu smiled at Zhou Jia.
“Big fool, I said that I’ll be fine. Why are you still worried?”
Zhou Jia sat beside Li Yu and pulled her into his arms. He looked down at Li Yu.
“That’s right! You clearly said it, but why am I still so afraid? I was even teased by my son.”
“Silly!” Li Yu said coquettishly. The couple’s foreheads were pressed together, and they could see their smiling selves in each other’s eyes.
The days flowed like water. In the blink of an eye, it was New Year’s Eve. Li Yu listened to the crackling firecrackers outside and sighed that she had unknowingly spent more than ten years in this world.
Looking at the twin babies lying beside her, they had already grown into fair and chubby babies in less than half a month. When he heard Yangyang and Zhou Jia’s voices outside, Yueyue frowned and revealed his displeasure at being woken up. If she didn’t hug him soon, he would cry.
Li Yu smiled and picked him up. “Little baddie, you woke up your brother. I’m going to spank your butt. ”
Yangyang ran in with the smell of fireworks. Seeing Li Yu carrying Yueyue, he touched him in disdain. ‘Yueyue, you’re not obedient at all. Look at your brother. He’s much more obedient than you!”
Xing Hua smiled and said to Yangyang, “Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master likes to be hugged to sleep. Third Young Master doesn’t like people to touch him. We can tell them apart now.”
When Li Yu heard this, she smiled and tapped the tip of Yueyue’s nose. “Xingxing is still easier to carry. This will be a mischievous person in the future.”
Yangyang listened to the faint sound of firecrackers coming from outside and pulled Li Yu’s sleeve. “Mother, when can you go out? Uncle said that there are lanterns in the capital for the Lantern Festival. They’re very beautiful. I want you to bring me along.”
“Yang’er, your mother can only go out after the first month of the new year. Daddy will bring you to see the lanterns before the Lantern Festival.”
Yangyang looked at Li Yu, who was rolling her eyes at Zhou Jia, and smiled.
“Mother, you’re so pitiful! You’re locked at home by Father.”
“Yes, your father is old-fashioned.” Li Yu smiled and rubbed Yangyang’s head.
After the Lantern Festival, Elder Madam Gong went to the Lin family early that morning. Seeing her angry expression, Madam Gong asked curiously, “Cousin, what happened? Look at your angry expression. Didn’t you say that you would come with me to send Ah Yu the full moon gift later? Why are you here so early?”
Elder Madam Gong pulled her to sit down and said, “Sister, I went to the banquet yesterday and heard someone discussing. The meaning between the lines is that our Ah Yu is unfilial and jealous. When she was pregnant, she did not arrange for someone to serve Young Master. During her confinement period, she even occupied Young Master.”
“It was claimed that she even abused the old man. On such a cold day, she asked the old man to set up a stall in Flower and Bird City to sell flowers. It looked quite heartbreaking, so she bought more than ten pots of flowers from Old Master Zhou. She even said that Old Master Zhou was a glorious person when he was young. When he got older, his biological son became an official and his wife was a famous First-grade Madam. But Old Master Zhou had to start a business as a peddler. Although she didn’t name the person, the only one who gave birth to two children before the new year was Ah Yu, and the only person who sold flowers was Old Master Zhou.”
When Madam Gong heard this, she was so angry that she stood up. “Cousin, which gossipy woman said that? Ah Yu and her husband are on good terms, and my son-in-law is unwilling to have anyone serve him. Is he in her way?
Old Master Zhou is willing to raise flowers and plant grass himself. Which eye of hers saw my Ah Yu abuse the old? Fortunately, my Ah Yu is almost a month into her confinement. Otherwise, she would have been angered to death. They’re trying to harm my Ah Yu!”
Elder Madam Gong thought for a moment. “The ones who said these words are Imperial Censor Feng’s sister, Feng Yunhong, and Madam Xu Xiuqiong, the wife of the Councillor from the Ministry of Rites. Madam Zhang Shuhui, the wife of the Head Official at the Ministry of Rites was also involved. I think they deliberatelv sDread the news to slander Ah Yu while she was in confinement.
Ah Yu is in confinement, but we can’t tell her about this and make her angry. We can’t just let the matter pass. Let’s not underestimate these long-tongued women. They’re quite powerful when they stir up trouble. Weaker people have been killed by their rumors.”
“That’s right! When Ah Yu finishes her confinement, the news will have spread throughout the capital. Madam Feng is the sister-in-law of Madam Yang. There’s another saying about why Ah Yu was slandered. Madam Xu is the sister-in-law of the Jun family in Country Lord Ning’s family. Her brother was angered to death by Country Lord Ning and Madam still fawned on Country
Lord Ning like this. She’s a boneless thing. Madam Zhang is the Madam of the
Ministry of Rites. Ah Yu doesn’t know her either.”
Madam Gong looked at her cousin in confusion. “Ah Yu doesn’t even know these people. Why would they spread rumors to slander Ah Yu? I think there’s something wrong. Cousin, let’s go to Ah Yu’s place first and get someone to find Jiahe home and let him make a decision.”
“Alright, let’s go find Jiahe and work something out.”
The two of them brought the one-month-old gift to the Zhou family. After seeing Li Yu, Madam Gong saw that Li Yu’s face was rosy and she had returned to her usual state. She nodded in relief. “Ah Yu often practices martial arts. Her body is really much better. After I gave birth to your two cousins, I lay down for a few days before I had the strength to sit up. The flesh on my stomach has not recovered. ”
Elder Madam Gong agreed. “That’s right. Those who practice martial arts are indeed much stronger. Ah Yu, is there any set of martial arts that I can practice? My back has been sore these days.”
Li Yu thought for a moment and said with a smile, “Aunt can learn the Five
Animal Play. If you want to learn, I’ll teach you.”
“Five Animal Play? Is it difficult? I’m old. I might not be able to learn it if it’s too difficult.’
“It’s not difficult. It’s divided into the Tiger Drama, the Deer Drama, the Ape Drama, the Bear Drama, and the Bird Drama. Every trick has different benefits for the body. The Tiger Drama can strengthen the muscles and bones over a long period of time. The Deer Drama can increase the physical strength, strengthen the kidneys, and build up the waist. The Ape Drama… Aunt and Aunt can practice it.”
Li Yu smiled and explained the benefits of practicing the Five Animal Play. The Gong sisters smiled and said, “Alright, when you’re out of confinement in a few days, we’ll learn from you..”
