Chapter 588: Educate the First Child’s Mindset Well
Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This Zhang Qingxi was Grand Chancellor Liu’s nephew. He had just returned to the Capital a couple of days ago, not knowing what mistake he had made to offend Lord Grand Chancellor. As a result, their whole family was forced to move out of the Grand Chancellor’s Residence and into their original small Zhang Residence.
Zhang Qingxi was beaten so severely that his skin split open, poisoned to the bone. One of his hands had rotted to the point where the bones were visible.
The incident happened when he was barely clinging to life, struggling to fall asleep.
The sudden pain jolted him awake in the middle of the night, and he screamed like a slaughtered pig, “Ah—”
When the attendants rushed in to check, a horrifying scene had already unfolded!
Lady Wei hurried over and, upon learning that her son had lost his hand and future, promptly fainted!
Of course, Liu Shimei knew nothing of these details. She didn’t concern herself with such matters; instead, she was contemplating taking in a disciple. After all the delays, it was time to move forward with her plans.
After careful consideration, she sent Mo’er to deliver a message to Shu Han.
Huangfu Lingyao sat on the couch. When she finished instructing Mo’er and walked in, he quickly asked, “Wife, do you want to summon that Shu Yutong into the palace?”
Liu Shimei returned to the bedside, picked up the bowl of porridge on the small table, scooped a spoonful, blew on it gently, and brought it to his lips. She said, “Yes, there are too many things happening recently, and you need to recover. I won’t go to the Shu family myself. Let Shu Imperial Physician bring Shu Yutong into the palace for a meeting.”
Going to their house would likely mean facing many members of the Shu family. Lately, her nerves were stretched taut, and she really didn’t want to deal with too many strangers.
“That’s fine too. Wife doesn’t need to make an extra trip!” Huangfu Lingyao nodded obediently and opened his mouth to eat the porridge she fed him.
He observed her expression and noticed that her shyness from yesterday had vanished, as if everything that happened yesterday was just a beautiful dream he had dreamed!
Would a normal young girl behave like this?
Overthinking, he couldn’t help but feel his heart unsettled.
He thought for a moment and asked, “So, will you meet her at Ruyi Hall today?” That meant she couldn’t accompany him again!
Liu Shimei glanced at him and smiled, saying, “No, I asked Physician Shu to bring Shu Yutong to Deer Seeking Hall!”
“Ah?” The silly puppy was dumbfounded.
While he was still in shock, Liu Shimei fed him another spoonful of porridge and explained, “My disciple, you will have to interact with her in the future. If she can’t get along with you, I won’t consider taking her as my disciple.”
“Is that so?” Huangfu Lingyao, who had just felt like he was holding his breath, suddenly felt at ease again!
Look at my wife, even when she’s taking in disciples, she cares about my feelings!
Hmph, she still doesn’t admit that she likes me!
She definitely likes me as much as I love her!
Of course, he didn’t know that his wife was following parenting advice.
When having a second child, educate the first child’s mindset well. Otherwise, after the arrival of the second child, neglecting the first child’s feelings might lead to an unbalanced situation, causing conflicts between the two children!
Worse yet, it could create childhood trauma for the elder child!
If the fool knew he was the “first child,” he would probably be devastated!
He continued, “In my opinion, there’s no need to worry! Look at Ninth Brother, he doesn’t like me either, but we get along just fine, don’t we?”
“You dare mention Ninth Brother!” Liu Shimei raised her eyebrows and said, “You call that getting along fine?”
These two would argue endlessly as soon as they met. He actually thought it was ‘fine’?
But maybe it was? Most of the time, he won arguments by acting shamelessly, so of course he felt fine.
Liang Yi probably wished he could just punch him into the sky!
