Chapter 889 Family Affairs
Even from a long distance away from the backyard, I heard a loud wailing sound.
Without even listening carefully, I knew the one making the loudest noise must be my son.
But the weaker one...
Most likely it was his 'eldest nephew' Sun Chengsi.
Tsk~
This naughty boy has no idea what brotherly love and respect mean. Every time they meet, he makes his younger brother cry. Even after being beaten and scolded several times, he refuses to repent.
As expected.
Sun Shaozong hurried home and saw his naughty boy rolling on the ground. Ruan Rong was sitting in the middle with a feather duster in her hand, and Yuanyang was holding Sun Chengsi next to her, looking like she wanted to persuade him but didn't dare to.
"Second Master!"
"Second Master."
Seeing Sun Shaozong coming in from outside, all the women in the room bowed to greet him, but Ruan Rong was the only one who was still posing on the bed, holding a feather duster.
Sun Shaozong stepped forward and took Sun Chengsi from Yuanyang's arms. He looked at Sun Chengyi, who had finally stopped rolling around and was peeking at him with his eyes covered, and asked helplessly, "What's going on this time?"
"It's this little beast that's causing trouble again!"
Ruan Rong threw the feather duster in anger, pointed at her son and scolded him, "When I didn't keep an eye on him, he stole the hot sauce from the kitchen to coax Chengsi to eat. When I asked him about it, he even said that we should share the happiness!"
This little bastard!
Sun Shaozong couldn't help but glare at his son when he heard that. The few cans of chili sauce that were tried out at home were considered too strong for him, let alone a child who was less than two years old?
Sun Chengyi shrank his neck when he was glared at, his mouth pursed, his nose sniffled, and he was about to burst into tears again.
"Get up and answer!"
Sun Shaozong saw this and scolded him. The boy stopped crying and got up from the ground reluctantly, still mumbling, "Brother, a little bit, just a little bit."
He probably wanted to emphasize that his brother only ate a little.
Shi Liu came up to him and wanted to brush the dust off him. Hearing this, he said with a smile, "Little Ancestor, please stop talking."
Sun Chengyi then shut his mouth dejectedly, but before Shi Liu could finish brushing the dust off his body, the little guy changed his mind, ran over to hold Sun Shaozong's thigh, and asked his daddy to hold him.
Sun Shaozong lifted his leg and hooked the kid up more than three feet high, then 'thrown' him onto the bed, scolding him with a smile: "You made your brother cry, and you still have the nerve to ask your father to hold you? Go, find that ball, take your brother and sister to play in the yard, and if you dare to make anyone cry again, be careful or I'll spank you until your butt is bruised!"
Sun Chengyi didn't fully understand, but he was very familiar with the word "ball". He cheered and crawled under the table to rummage around for a while.
Soon he dug out a pig bladder wrapped in leather, threw it to the ground, climbed down from the bed swiftly, and kicked the ball with his foot in a professional manner, and the ball rolled to the doorstep.
Shi Liu subconsciously went to the door and wanted to help him open the curtain, but as soon as she raised her hand, she hesitated and turned back to ask Sun Shaozong: "Second Master, it's freezing outside, is it..."
"How can a boy be so delicate?"
Sun Shaozong said disapprovingly, and put his "nephew" on the ground. As expected, the little guy had long forgotten the "grudge" just now, and followed his "cousin" screaming.
After resolving this minor conflict between the brothers, Sun Shaozong simply lay down on the bed, took a few walnuts , cracked them open, picked up the kernels and put them into his mouth. He looked leisurely, but his eyes were secretly looking out.
"Don't bother."
Ruan Rong had been with him the longest, so she saw through his thoughts at a glance. She motioned to Shi Liu to bring another plate of sugar-roasted chestnuts, and said, "After all, they are the eldest wife's relatives. I'll let them go over there first to discuss it clearly, so as to avoid any embarrassment later."
I see.
No wonder Xiangling and You Erjie haven't come to report what they saw and heard at the Xing family since I came back.
Sun Shaozong suddenly realized what was going on, but he tried to hide it, "I was just worried about the two kids getting hurt, how could I have mentioned Xiangling and Youshi? By the way, what are we having for dinner tonight?"
Although she knew he was trying to change the subject, Ruan Rong was too lazy to delve into it, so she continued, "Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to use the hot sauce to make something new? At noon, Butler Zhao specially had someone collect a musk deer, and it's being prepared on the stove right now."
Starting with the topic of musk deer and chili sauce, the two chatted about everything under the sun. As the sun was setting, Xiangling and You Erjie finally rushed back from the main house.
According to Xiangling's personality, she would finish her important task first before thinking about other things.
But Sun Shaozong did not want to discuss the matter of taking Xing Xiuyan as a concubine in front of Ruan Rong, so he shouted that he wanted to eat first and talk about other things in the evening.
So eight meat dishes, eight vegetable dishes and fourteen dishes and two soups were placed on the table one after another. The last dish was the "Stir-fried Firecrackers" and "Deer Treasures in Clay Pot" cooked with chili sauce.
After all, it was the first time to try it, so the taste was only so-so. The only words that could be praised were "fresh and spicy", which was really not to the taste of Ruan Rong and the others.
Therefore, most of the musk deer was used as a sacrifice to Sun Shaozong's internal organs.
As the saying goes, when you are well fed and warm, you will desire sex, let alone after eating so many nutritious foods?
Seeing Ruan Rong taking her son to the inner room to bathe and her daughter being taken to the west wing by Qingwen, Sun Shaozong sipped the remaining wine in the glass, his eyes moving back and forth between Xiangling and You Erjie.
You Erjie might not be very smart in other matters, but she was very talented in this area and she guessed what Sun Shaozong was thinking right away.
So he took off his outer robe, revealing his breasts, and put his arm around Xiangling's shoulders, saying jokingly, "Sister will move over there in a few days, and it will be more convenient for us to come and go."
Xiangling did not doubt him and said hurriedly: "It's only a few steps, you and I are diligent...ah!"
You Erjie retracted her evil hand, covered her mouth and said with a double meaning, "Sister, you are really an 'honest' person. I am not talking about the future, but I just want to keep you company tonight. I wonder if you can accommodate me?"
No matter how confused Xiangling was, she came to her senses at this moment. She could not help but glance at Sun Shaozong with a red face. Seeing his burning eyes, no matter how reluctant she was, she could not say no.
Finally, the three of them reluctantly agreed, and asked Xiangling to tell them in detail what they had seen and heard at the Xing family, and they went to Xiangling's room.
…
But Qingwen had just returned to the living room in the west wing after settling her daughter down when she heard some unbearable noises coming from the inner room, the intensity of which was far beyond usual.
Phew!
You said this morning that you didn’t want to take this opportunity to have a son!
Qingwen spat inwardly, and with a stern face, she drove out all the maids who were pretending to clean the room but were actually eavesdropping. Then she lay alone on the bed, doing her needlework in a disinterested manner.
I was in a trance and didn’t know how much time had passed.
The door of the room suddenly opened to the left and right . Qingwen looked up and saw Sun Shaozong coming out in disheveled clothes. The blush on her face immediately spread behind her ears.
She twisted her body and turned her back to the door, while at the same time she put all the needle and thread back into the dustpan as if she was at ease.
When that familiar pair of arms tightly embraced her, Qingwen quickly closed her beautiful eyes again, but she had no intention of struggling at all. She let Sun Shaozong pick her up and stride back to the inner room.
It was not until she was lying together with two Aries-like people that she suddenly realized that something was wrong. But when she wanted to struggle, it was already too late.
