Chapter 466: Big Brother’s Return

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Men and women sat at different tables when they were seven years old, but this pair of siblings had a good relationship and would not deliberately avoid arousing suspicion. Not to mention that Guo Huan was a few years older than Guo Lingxi and had always doted on her.

In Guo Lingxi’s heart, her brother was someone closer to her than her father.

Guo Huan held his sister’s shoulder. “Let Big Brother see if our little princess has become more beautiful.”

Guo Lingxi was an unruly and unreasonable princess in front of others, but in front of Guo Huan, she was an extremely obedient and cute sister.

Guo Lingxi said coquettishly, ‘You went for so long before coming back!”

Guo Huan said helplessly, “I also wanted to return early. There were too many things to do and I knew that you were anxious. In order to rush back to see you early, I rushed through the night and left the imperial court’s carriages behind.”

Guo Lingxi asked worriedly, “Then, are you exhausted?”

Guo Huan smiled. “It’s fine if Big Brother is a little tired.”

Guo Lingxi’s heart ached. “Has Big Brother gone to greet Grandpa and Father?”

Guo Huan said, “No, I came to see you first.”

Guo Lingxi held his arm and smiled in satisfaction. “I’ll go over with Big Brother later! Big Brother, come and sit!” The siblings sat down on the chaise.

The maidservant handed over a basin and a towel. Guo Huan washed his hands and dried them with a towel.

Another maidservant served fruits, snacks, and tea.

Guo Huan casually picked up his teacup and took a sip. He asked Guo Lingxi, “Did you cause any trouble during the six months when Big Brother was not in the capital?”

Guo Lingxi said, “What trouble can I cause?”

Guo Huan smiled. “Why did I hear that you almost knocked someone down during a horse race with Princess Hui An?”

Guo Lingxi curled her lips and said, “It wasn’t my horse that almost hit someone. It was hers. She’s not as good as others and can’t even ride a horse well. You can’t blame me!”

Guo Huan scratched the bridge of her nose with his index finger. “Don’t bully Princess Hui An.”

Guo Lingxi said jealously, “She’s a princess. I’m just a small county princess. How can it be my turn to bully her?”

Guo Huan smiled and placed the teacup back on the tray held by the maidservant. He pulled his sister’s hand, but he accidentally touched Guo Lingxi’s wound, causing her to gasp in pain.

“What’s wrong?” He looked at Guo Lingxi’s forearm. “Are you injured?” Guo Lingxi covered her arm and remained silent.

“Let Big Brother take a look.” Guo Huan rolled up Guo Lingxi’s sleeve and looked at the whip marks on his forearm that had yet to fade. “What happened? Who hit you?”

His tone was very calm, but the maidservant at the side broke out in cold sweat.

Guo Lingxi’s eyes turned red as she sniffed aggrievedly. “Grandpa doesn’t let me tell anyone…’

That day, after Princess Hui An went to the Imperial Study to complain about Guo Lingxi, Emperor Jing Xuan immediately summoned Prime Minister Guo into the Imperial Study and questioned how he had taught his granddaughter to dare to whip the princess in public.

He even said that she wanted to hit Miss Su despite knowing that Miss Su was the Empress Dowager’s physician. Why? Did she want to beat the Empress Dowager’s physician to death and make her incurable?

The few accusations made Prime Minister Guo’s heart tremble. When he returned home, he scolded his granddaughter fiercely.

Guo Huan said softly, “Tell Big Brother more.”

Guo Lingxi said aggrievedly, “The eldest daughter of the Qin family… She whipped me…”

Guo Huan muttered, “The Qin family… the little girl that His Majesty betrothed to Wei Ting?”

Guo Lingxi was stunned. “Brother, you know?”

“I heard a little on the way here,” Guo Huan said. “Why did she whip you?”

Guo Lingxi said in a low voice, “I dropped the ink on her. I wanted to teach her a small lesson. Who asked her to overestimate herself and snatch my fiancé!”

Guo Huan stroked the back of his sister’s head and asked softly, “Then she whipped you?”

Guo Lingxi muttered, “Not only that, but she also splashed ink on me.”

Guo Huan’s voice was indifferent. “Is that so?”

Guo Lingxi choked and said, “Actually, it’s fine if she whipped me. The pain will pass, but… at the thought that Brother Ting will marry her… I… I…”

She threw herself into Guo Huan’s arms, tears falling.

Guo Huan hugged his sister’s shoulder and comforted her softly. “Don’t worry,

Wei Ting won’t marry anyone else. I promise you.”

At Pear Blossom Lane, Su Xiaoxiao was having her period. She had been a little sleepy these few days, so Wei Ting did not wake her up. He woke up early and went to the shop to buy breakfast for the family.

Ever since he received the flowers from Madam Wei, he walked with gusto.

The three little ones also got up and stood in the backyard.

Erhu also learned the horse stance from Dahu.

Xiaohu did not follow suit. He secretly went to his stinky father’s room.

Stinky Daddy had recently brought back a vase of flowers from outside. They were so beautiful, but they were not allowed to touch them.

This was how children were. The more they were not allowed to touch, the more they wanted to touch them.

He moved a small stool over, stepped on it, and carried the vase down.

Although three days had passed, because of the proper care, this vase of flowers was still tender and beautiful.

Xiaohu carried the vase to look for Sihu. “Sihu, look, flowers!”

Sihu sniffed with its extremely sensitive horse nose.

Then, Sihu ate the flowers in one bite!

Xiaohu had taught Sihu for a month, but Sihu had not learned how to chew bones. Who would have thought that the Sihu would learn how to chew flowers without being taught?

Xiaohu was stunned!

When Wei Ting returned after buying the buns, Xiaohu hurriedly put the vase back.

“What are you doing?”

Wei Ting caught him red-handed.

Xiaohu shook his head. “Nothing.”

Wei Ting’s gaze landed on the bare flower branches, and his eyes turned cold. “Why are the flowers gone?”

Xiaohu waved his hand. “It wasn’t eaten by Sihu!”

Wei Ting clenched his fists.

“Heh, then who ate it?”

Xiaohu’s eyes darted around as he pointed at the backyard. “Dahu!”

Dahu, who was always framed by his troublesome brother, was speechless.

It would be strange if Wei Ting believed him.

Very good, he had only gone out to buy buns, but the little brat had already destroyed the flowers his mother had given him.

If he did not teach him a lesson, he would not learn his lesson!

Wei Ting rolled up his sleeves.

Xiaohu seemed to already feel the pain in his butt.

He ran out!

“Grandpa! Grandpa!”

“It’s useless to call for your Grandpa. I’ll beat you up today!”

It was rare for Su Cheng to rest for a day. He lay on the bed and slept soundly.

Xiaohu could only change his position and run into Su Xiaoxiao’s room with all his strength. He climbed onto the bed. “Mother! Mother! Save me!”

“What’s wrong?” Su Xiaoxiao asked in a daze.

“Dad wants to hit me!” Xiao Hu complained.

Su Xiaoxiao hugged the little guy. “Why is he hitting you?” Xiaohu said aggrievedly, “The flowers are gone. Sihu ate them.”

“You fed your father’s flowers to Sihu?”

Su Xiaoxiao shuddered and woke up completely.

“Son, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I can’t help…”

In the end, Wei Ting did not barge in. He said coldly at the door, “Come over and get beaten up yourself!”

Xiaohu threw himself under the blanket. “Xiaohu, don’t get beaten up! Xiaohu, don’t let your butt hurt!”

Now that he knew the pain, why did he do that beginning?

Among the three little fellows, Xiaohu was the most rebellious.

If Wei Ting had told Xiaohu not to take his hand from the flowers if he touched them. Xiaohu might not even touch a leaf.

Su Xiaoxiao sighed. “Forget it, I’ll help you this time.”

The trouble was too big and could not be appeased with ordinary methods. She could only use his ace in the hole, a trump card—a honey trap!

Su Xiaoxiao tucked her hair to one side and tugged at her clothes, revealing a delicate… round collarbone.

If she didn’t make his nose bleed later, she would write her name backvvard.

She came to the door of Wei Ting’s room and hesitated for a moment before taking a deep breath.

She stretched out her chubby arm and pushed open the door!

Bang!

There was a loud bang.

Something huge was slapped into the wall.

“Eh? Where’s Wei Ting?”
